Li Hu and Su Moli performed Qinggong, fell down the tower, and walked towards Yan Qi.
At this time, the county magistrate Li Mobai heard that there was a fierce fight on the city wall, and he hurried over with his master Li Feiyan and Yamen servant Wang Erhu.
The people gathered one after another, and those with sharp eyes recognized Mr. Qingtian Li Mobai and saluted immediately. Word of mouth spread, and everyone paid their respects to Magistrate Li.
There was a huge crowd at the scene, and the government official Wang Erhu maintained order. He advised everyone not to get together, but to disperse and go about their own business.
Li Mobai chatted with Yan Qi, Li Feiyan, Li Hu and Su Moli while walking towards the city.
Su Moli said: "That masked man is a flower-picking thief who has repeatedly committed crimes! I have been tracking him and want to capture him! It's a pity that this thief is so powerful that he escaped again this time. I want to thank him this time Li Shaoxia came to help."
Su Moli said, cupping his fists and saluting.
Li Hu recognized Su Moli and returned the greeting: "Young Master Su fights against the strong and helps the weak when encountering injustice! This is an act of chivalry and justice. Li should help, no need to be polite!"
Su Moli clasped his fists and saluted Li Mobai again: "You are Mr. Li, the magistrate of Dongping County, right? I have admired your name for so long, and it is like thunder in my ears! I am lucky enough to meet you today. It is not easy."
Li Mobai said modestly: "It's just a false name! I just heard Li Hu call you Su Shaoxia, so I think we must be acquaintances. I just haven't asked you the name of the young hero yet."
"I'm Su Moli!"
Su Moli told the story of how he met Li Hu that day at Jile Tower, and everyone laughed after listening to it.
Li Mobai said: "Su Moli, what a good name! I just don't know how Su Shaoxia met that flower-picking thief?"
Su Moli said: "It's a long story..."
Li Mobai then raised his hand to interrupt him: "It's a long story? That's what I want! It's past noon now, and Su Shaoxia must be hungry too. Why don't you go to Tianxialou with us, taste the wine, and listen to you? What about this story?”
"I still owe Li Shaoxia wine, so I should treat you this time!"
Su Moli looked at Li Hu. The two understood each other and smiled at each other.
Everyone then climbed up to the second floor of Tianxialou Restaurant and took their seats in a private room by the window.
The restaurant was very lively and full of guests.
The waiter quickly placed a plate of vinegared peanuts and a pot of fine wine for everyone to taste first. Afterwards, various delicacies were served one after another, and the aroma was overflowing, making people salivate.
Everyone sat around the table, waiting for Su Moli to tell his story with the flower-picking thief.
"This matter must start from Lin'an County! At that time, I was traveling among rivers and lakes, and my home was all over the world. When I arrived in Lin'an County, the beautiful scenery there made me forget to leave, so I stayed a little longer."
As Su Moli spoke, he picked up an old vinegar peanut with his chopsticks. He cast his eyes to the lower left, as if recalling the past.
"Later, I saw a notice posted by the Lin'an government office offering a reward for the capture of the flower-picking thief."
"Originally I didn't pay much attention to this matter! However, one night, I unexpectedly witnessed a masked man flying and fleeing between the eaves, followed closely by a group of government officials. The masked man's Qinggong was extremely outstanding, and those The yamen servant couldn't catch up at all. So I chased him until I reached a dense forest outside the city. The masked man saw that I was good at it, so he stopped to talk to me. "
Li Hu asked curiously: "Then what did you say?"
Su Moli said: "Actually, he didn't say anything! He praised me for my outstanding Qinggong skills and being able to catch up with him, and even asked me my name. I advised him to just surrender, but of course he didn't listen, so we started fighting. .After a fierce battle, we are all exhausted, but there is still no winner."
After hearing this, Yan Qi said: "When we meet today, the martial arts of Su Shaoxia and the masked flower picker are indeed indistinguishable! What next?"
Su Moli said: "Later, we were unable to fight anymore. The masked flower picker said he was leaving Lin'an for Dongping. He also told me that when we meet again by fate, we will fight again!"
"This flower-picking thief is quite interesting!"
After hearing this, Li Feiyan was also full of curiosity about this flower-picking thief.
Su Moli said: "Miss Feiyan, don't be fooled by the rhetoric of this masked flower-picking thief! I have gone deep into the government to find out any clues about this thief. This thief is really a devil with no conscience! Every time he steps foot The county must abduct a young girl in her prime, rape her first, and then brutally kill her. Along the way, countless innocent girls have been harmed. It is really unjust!"
Li Mobai was furious when he heard this and slapped his palm on the table: "It's so hateful! It's so hateful! Why is this thief who harmed the people still at large?"
Su Moli sighed and said: "This thief is highly skilled in martial arts and as cunning as a fox. He moves from county to county without leaving any trace. Each county government operates independently, making it difficult to coordinate a roundup. In addition, his whereabouts are erratic, so it is extremely difficult to catch him. ! Because of this, I vowed to bring him to justice!"
At this time, the waiter had put all the delicacies on the table, and everyone toasted and drank together, pushing glasses and changing glasses, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.
"Okay! Su Shaoxia, now that this flower-picking thief has entered our Dongping territory, let's work together to bring him to justice and eliminate harm for the people!"
Su Moli smiled boldly and said: "I've heard for a long time that Mr. Li from Dongping County is extremely resourceful and that Miss Yan Qi has supernatural powers! Now we have the powerful tiger-faced hero Li Shaoxia and the clever and wise Miss Feiyan! I believe we can capture them in one fell swoop this time. That flower-picking thief!"
Several people had the same idea, talked with each other, and as they pushed cups and changed cups, drunkenness gradually came to their hearts.
In fact, Li Mobai, the second son of the Li family, once had a dream and longed to become a chivalrous hero in the world.
However, as fate would have it, he still failed to embark on this path.
Just because his elder brother Li Qiubai was obsessed with martial arts, his father asked his younger brother to abandon martial arts and pursue literature, becoming a gentle scholar.
From then on, the two brothers had their own strengths in literature and martial arts.
When Li Mobai saw such a heroic and courageous person like Su Moli, he couldn't help but respect him in his heart.
"Young Master Su, what else is unique about the flower-picking thief? I hope you can tell them all so that we can capture him as soon as possible."
After Li Mobai drank, his face turned reddish, and his words became slow and slurred, with a hint of drunkenness.
Su Moli was waiting to answer, when there was the sound of festive wind and beating outside the window. It turned out to be a wedding procession passing by.
Su Moli stood up leisurely, walked slowly to the window, leaned against the window frame and looked down.
Li Hu and Wang Erhu also curiously came to the window to find out.
I saw that the procession to receive the bride was very long, and they were obviously from wealthy families.
Everyone was wearing red wedding clothes, and cheerful music was floating in the air.
A young master is riding on a tall horse, wearing a bright red flower on his chest, which attracts attention.
The sedan chair swayed gently behind the procession, like a wonderful picture.
Li Mobai sighed: "Someone is about to get married. I wonder when I can marry the one I love?"
Li Mobai looked at Yan Qi expectantly as he spoke.
Yan Qi used her wine glass to cover her eyes, not to meet his gaze.
Li Hu patted Li Mobai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master, the girls who want to marry you are probably waiting outside Dongping City! You don't have to worry about this. If you want to get married, my sister will fly Yan is pretty good!"
When Li Feiyan heard this, her flowery face instantly turned red. She shyly scolded: "Brother, you drank too much! What are you talking about?"
But she was secretly happy in her heart and smiled slightly, as happy as a child who had just stolen candy without being noticed by the adults.
She secretly observed Li Mobai's expression and found that he didn't seem to hear what he just said. His eyes still stayed on Yan Qi, and she couldn't help but feel jealous again.
In this world, there may be several women who don't eat, but there isn't even one woman who isn't jealous!
Su Moli stared intently at the sedan chair going away, his eyes deep, as if hiding some unknown past events.
Yan Qi looked at Su Moli and wondered: Did he remember something from the past, or someone special?
The wedding procession gradually faded away amid laughter and laughter, and the crowds of people watching on both sides of the street also gradually dispersed. They are also full of envy in their hearts, but they are more appreciative of beautiful things.
After the festive team completely disappeared, Li Mobai, Li Hu and Su Moli toasted and drank again.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was already very drunk.
Only two women, Yan Qi and Li Feiyan, were left!
There was also a man named Wang Erhu at the scene!
But one man can't handle three grown men!
So Yan Qi and Li Feiyan had to call the waiters in the restaurant to help. All the clerks knew the county magistrate, so they were eager to help and carried them back to the county government office.
Wang Erhu carefully placed the three people in the room to rest. At this time, the little goat returned and brought back a pig.
As soon as the little goat entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Mr. Qi, Li Daotou, I found Grandma Wang's pig! It was indeed the pig that the puppy guided us to find."
Wang Erhu hurriedly stopped him: "Okay! If you find it, just send it back to Grandma Wang. Why take it to the county government office? Sir, he is drunk and is sleeping!"
When the little goat heard this, he called two government servants and sent the pig and dog back to Grandma Wang.
The affairs of the county government are also temporarily handled by two women, Master Li Feiyan and Wu Zuoyan Qi.
