Leng Yi looked at him and said, "What good ideas do you have?"

Mr. Dong said: "Those who are in arrears with taxes are those big gentry and landlords, headed by Lai Yuanwai. As long as he is allowed to pay taxes, others will follow suit."

Leng Yi wanted to ask him why he didn't pay, but he couldn't ask. If he had already mentioned this matter before, wouldn't it be revealed? He would know it slowly.

Leng Yi handed the account to Mr. Dong and said: "Tomorrow morning, let's go to Kuli Village again and have a good meeting with this lazy member!"

"Yes!" Master Dong stood up.

Leng Yi also stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Tell the brothers that I misappropriated their money. I'm sorry, but I promise that within ten days, I will find a way to pay back the salary I owe them."

them."

He owed too much debt and could only pay it off with the salary of the county magistrate. He decided to spend ten days to see if it was possible to detect the tax theft case and get all the money back. If not, he would have to sell a

There are two things he brought back from modern times. This is the last resort. He is confident that he can sell them at a good price and make up for the shortfall. But he does not want to use these things unless he has to, and he will save them for use where they are most needed.

Maximum benefits.

Naturally, Mr. Dong didn't know that the county magistrate had actually been replaced. He laughed dryly and thought, you have made this promise countless times, but you just haven't fulfilled it. It's not easy to break it. Of course, I sympathized with his experience and nodded.

, took the account book and went out.

It's dark.

Zhuo Qiaoniang lit a lantern on the porch, and the dim light illuminated the inner house. It rained again, and it was still the same freezing rain mixed with the cold wind, making it chilly.

Leng Yi was still standing in the corridor thinking about his thoughts. Zhuo Qiaoniang came behind him. A gust of cold wind blew by, making her shiver involuntarily.

Although this movement was small, it still woke Leng Yi out of his deep thoughts. He turned around, glanced at Zhuo Qiao Niang, and said, "You go in the house, I'll close the door."

The servants were all gone, and he had to rely on himself for everything. Leng Yi walked quickly through the rain, closed the door of the inner house, and returned to the corridor.

Zhuo Qiaoniang had been standing there waiting for him. When he entered the bedroom, she followed him in.

Leng Yi saw a wooden basin of hot water on the ground. There was a bucket next to it, which contained most of the bucket of hot water. It turned out that he was so good at talking to Mr. Dong, and Zhuo Qiaoniang had already prepared the water for washing feet.

Leng Yi thought to himself, it was just dark now, should he wash his feet and go to bed? It was too early. However, the ancients always rested at sunrise and sunset, which was in line with the rules. He sat down and Zhuo Qiao

His mother quickly stepped forward and knelt down to help him take off his boots. Leng Yi hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself, and you can wash it too. Let's wash it together!"

Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled shyly and shook her head: "I will wash it after the officials wash it."

Leng Yi didn't know how the magistrate had dealt with this problem in the past. It was best to observe and figure it out first. So he didn't insist. After washing his feet, he sat on the chair and looked at the old but antique big chair.

I went to bed and my heart began to pound.

He had dated and had sex with his girlfriend. However, the woman in front of him was his wife. His husband had been forced to confess and died suddenly. He pretended to be him, just to be able to live in this unfamiliar ancient world.

Put down roots and have a roof over his head, and although he vowed to take good care of his family, does this also include sleeping in the same bed or even having sex with his wife?

The situation was urgent at the time, but I didn't think so much about it. Now I realize that this is a big problem.

Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't know that he was sitting there thinking about whether he wanted to go to bed with her. She came over and said, "I will undress the official."

Leng Yi didn't know if this was a rule, so he could only follow the established policy, let everything take its course, stand up and let him undress.

Zhuo Qiao Niang helped him take off his robe.

Leng Yi was very nervous. When he was changing clothes with the dead magistrate, he observed the magistrate's body. They were similar in height and weight. However, the magistrate was puffy and fat, while he was strong. His pectoralis major, triceps, back muscles, etc.

The major muscle groups such as the latissimus are obviously not as developed as they are on their own. You won't notice it if you wear loose clothes, but if you hug your body closely, you will immediately feel the obvious difference.

Therefore, when Zhuo Qiao Niang took off his innermost coat, he made a decision. He would rather make her sad than reveal his secret on the spot. So he held her hand and said: "It's very cold.

If you don’t want to take off your clothes, just sleep in your clothes.”

Zhuo Qiaoniang was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything more. She knelt down and helped him unbutton his pants.

The muscles in his legs are relatively difficult to detect. As long as he doesn't exert any force, the muscle groups will not be immediately visible. However, when she took off his lantern trousers and wanted to take off the innermost pair of tight-fitting trousers for him, he

Feeling guilty, he finally reached out and held her hand down, and said unnaturally: "It's cold, so why don't you take off your pants?" Before he could react, he got under the quilt.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was even more surprised. She stood there and looked at him blankly, as if she was thinking about something.

Leng Yi became a little nervous. Could it be that she saw some flaw? He smiled calmly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing!"

After saying that, Zhuo Qiaoniang went out with the wooden basin, poured out the water, fetched more water, and washed her feet. When she saw Leng Yi still looking at her sideways, she smiled, wiped her feet with a footkerchief, and pulled them.

Shoe brought the water to the corner of the room, locked the door, turned her back to him, and began to take off her skirt.

Leng Yi saw her slowly taking off her top, revealing her slightly thin shoulders, her smooth and satin-like back, and the obscene red ribbons tied around her neck and waist. From the side, a small part of her rounded breasts could be seen.

Crispy milk.

Leng Yi felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart. He quickly closed his eyes, pretended to be cold, and retracted his head into the quilt.

Soon, the lights in the room were blown out, and he felt Zhuo Qiaoniang crawling past his feet, then climbed into the back bed and got under the quilt.

Everything became quiet.

Leng Yi tried his best to fall asleep as soon as possible to get rid of the feeling of guilt in his heart. According to the past, no matter how noisy the place was, he would sleep as soon as he wanted. But this time it was different. The more he tried to fall asleep as soon as possible, the harder it became for him to fall asleep.

At this moment, he heard Zhuo Qiaoniang's soft voice in the darkness: "Guanren..."

Leng Yi hummed.

Zhuo Qiaoniang's voice was a little depressed, like a child who had done something wrong: "Is the official angry with me?"

Leng Yi's heart skipped a beat. Did he reveal a flaw? He hurriedly said: "No...! Why do you say that?"

"Then... why don't the officials sleep naked like they did before? Why don't they sleep with my concubine in their arms?"

It turned out that their husband and wife still had this private matter. Leng Yi broke out in a cold sweat and said perfunctorily: "I..., I'm a little tired today, and as I said, it seems to be very cold today. It would be too cold if I took off my clothes."

"But, as you said, the colder it gets, the warmer it will be if you take off your clothes and hug me..."

Leng Yi sweated more on his forehead, but from what she said, he could realize that the deceased magistrate and his wife were very loving. Zhuo Qiaoniang only regarded herself as her husband. If he made a mistake, he would be wrong.

Isn't it despicable to ruin someone's wife?

Moreover, his physical strength was obviously different from that of the magistrate. If he had sex, the secret would be revealed immediately. He thought like lightning and made an immediate decision. Still based on the principle, he would rather make her sad than reveal the secret. So he simply

She turned her back to him and said, "I'm tired, go to bed early."

Zhuo Qiaoniang said a little aggrievedly. After a moment, she softly said: "Thank you, officer!"

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you, the official, for buying me the hairpin. It is the first gift that the official has given to me."

"Nothing. Go to sleep!"

Zhuo Qiaoniang stopped talking. After a while, her even breathing could be heard. Leng Yi knew that she fell asleep.

After gradually calming down, Leng Yi quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a very slight noise. It was the clicking sound of someone stepping on the ice on the porch outside the window. Although it was very slight, Leng Yi knew that the magistrate he replaced had been forced to confess to death, and the person who had been forced to confess had died.

After a person may have a good background, he will be very vigilant.

He didn't know what the middle-aged man was looking for to force a confession from him, but Leng Yi was certain that it must be a very important thing, so important that he would sacrifice his life to keep it secret. Such an important thing should not only be related to

Unless he is alone, otherwise he commits suicide and the thing will never be recovered. Therefore, he must have an accomplice, and his accomplice will definitely find him.

Today he drove away all his servants, not only because they had insulted Zhuo Qiaoniang, but also because he needed a quiet environment to discover possible enemies.

Now, he heard footsteps in the originally silent courtyard, and he woke up immediately.
