Thought

"Mu Mu's brother has decided to adopt." Han Tao strode in, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it down, and said in relief, "That stepmother's reputation has been ruined, Mu Mu made things so noisy, the clan Everyone came out one by one."

Mu Nian nodded, quite surprised by Brother Wood's choice.People who have not seen the ending are always hesitant, imagining that there will be a turning point.

Thinking of this, Mu Nian asked.

Hearing this, Han Tao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Brother Mu Mu is also very sensitive, he has noticed the evil intentions under the kindness of his stepmother, and he has seen the same thing when he was a child. After my mother has a child."

Han Tao said with a little complacency on his face, "There just happened to be a couple in the clan. Their child drowned in the early years. If they survived and were about the same age as Brother Mu, they agreed to adopt Brother Mu."

"His father didn't want to, but it's a pity that the stepmother sent him out after crying twice." Han Tao sneered, probably thinking that his son would be filial to him even if he was adopted, "after this incident , Brother Wood has given up on his father."

Mu Nian nodded, "The matter is over, you should calm down and focus on studying."

"What?" Han Tao wailed, and looked at Mu Nian pitifully, "Why do you act like my father, urging me to study all the time, don't you know that I feel sick when I read books?"

"You'll get used to it when you spit it out." Mu Nian said coolly without sympathy, "Maybe if you want to go home, Uncle should be happy about it."

Han Tao suddenly turned his face down, and slumped on the chair in love, knowing that Mu Nian had given an ultimatum.

"If you don't want to study..." Mu Nian smiled slightly as he met Han Tao's eyes that were instantly rejuvenated with blood, "For a long time, the rest will follow the martial arts instructor."

Han Tao's eyes flickered suddenly. Did he stay in the room and study all day, or went out to watch the wind for half a day.Han Tao decisively chose the latter.

The light in Mu Nian's eyes shone slightly, and a smile appeared.

A light shone slightly on the horizon, and Tang Du walked into the yard with a dark complexion. When he saw the young man standing in the yard, his footsteps stopped slightly, "Where is Lord Hou? Are you awake?"

The boy turned around and lowered his head slightly, "Master Hou is already awake, he is over there in the martial arts training room."

Tang Du gave an "um" and hurried towards the martial arts room.

"Straighten your waist, and don't let your legs go soft." The master who teaches martial arts holds a bamboo root in his hand, and wherever he speaks, the bamboo root in his hand will hit there.

Han Tao gritted his teeth, looked at Mu Nian, who was slowly playing Wu Qinxi, and Xue Yi, who was still steady with sandbags on his legs, and his precarious gait immediately stabilized.It was really pitiful, and it was only because he was too young at the time that Mu Nian was blinded.

"Master Hou." Xu Xu pushed the door open and entered, "It's almost time, and your health is just right."

The martial arts master didn't even look at it, but just put all his attention on Han Tao.

It just so happened that Mu Nian finished a set of Wu Qin Xi, and after finishing it, he took the handkerchief handed over by the boy to wipe his sweat, and his complexion was rare rosy, "It just so happens that I am also finished, let's have breakfast together!"

Xue Yi nodded, and the two walked out together.

Han Tao who left Zamabu alone, "..."

"Hey! You wait for me!" Han Tao yelled and was about to get up when he put a pair of palm-like hands on his shoulders and pushed him down easily.

"It's still early, please trouble Master Han to practice for another quarter of an hour."

The martial arts master's voice reverberated in Han Tao's ears like a magic voice, and Han Tao felt as if he was mourning.Master Clinker Martial Arts, as if he couldn't see him working so hard, conveniently pressed a book on top of Han Tao's head, and said leisurely, "Practice for another quarter of an hour."

Han Tao, "..."

Eyeballs rolled wildly, "Master, the two of them actually ignored you and ran out without saying a word. It's too disrespectful to you. Tell them to come back!"

The martial arts master shook his head, "I'm not in charge of teaching them martial arts, I was invited by Master Han to teach you."

Han Tao, "...", this is definitely my real father!dear!

On the other side, Xue Yi, who had left early, saw Tang Du waiting at the door when he went out, with an ugly expression on his face, Xue Yi waved, "If you have anything to say, talk about it during dinner!"

What Tang wanted to say was blocked back, "Other people's homes don't eat or sleep, but it's strange and interesting that it's the opposite when we come to Lord Hou's side."

"Food is the paramount necessity of the people." Xue Yi talked nonsense with Tang Du while walking, "Could it be that you want to starve me to death."

Tang wanted to say that if he didn't eat a meal, he would starve to death, but on second thought, no matter how urgent he was, he wouldn't be in a hurry.The impetuous heart just now calmed down, but the pace of his feet was much faster than usual.

"What did you find in Muxin Academy?" Xue Yi raised his hand to serve Mu Nian a bowl of soup, "I made you so angry that you didn't even eat."

Tang Du's eyes were originally wandering between Xue Yi and Mu Nian, and the unscrupulous expression on his face was put away when he heard the words, "Master, on the back hillside of Mushen Academy, there is a field full of poppies, full of poppies."

"When the subordinates touched the back mountain, there were only a few dead branches and leaves left, but Ma Xun recognized the poppies. At this time, he had already brought the remaining poppies to his room." Tang Du said With something stuffed in his mouth, he spoke vaguely.

Xue Yi glanced at Mu Nian, "It seems that our previous guess was correct."

Mu Nian chuckled, "Wrong, the scholar was indeed taken advantage of by someone, but we didn't expect that the person behind it would be the Muxin Academy. The poison is poisoned from the source, causing people to become addicted."

"Guess, how many people in the court are addicted to drugs?" Mu Nian drank the last sip of soup in the bowl, and his tone was relaxed, as if talking about the delicious soup.

Tang Du reacted to this question almost instantly. In recent years, Mushen Academy has produced a few champions, and there are many others.As long as these people sprinkle poppies on the food of court officials without leaving a trace...

"It looks like we're going back." Xue Yi calmly chewed the steamed buns, and told Xu Xu, "Go and clean up! If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Xu Xu immediately got up to gather his hands, while Tang Du at the side hesitated for a moment, "Do I want to come too? Master?" It was a rare awkwardness.

"No." Xue Yi dismissed Tang Du's hesitation without any doubt, "Even if you don't want to go to the capital anymore, you can't make fun of your own life."

"There is also Sun Pu, send him a message, tell him to be more cautious, and set his target in the yamen of Xuchuan Town, that county magistrate is a good opponent." Xue Yi clapped his hands, "That's all, Let him figure it out for himself!"

Tang Du backed away with a bitter face, and packed up his things reluctantly.

Seeing Tang Du leave, Xue Yi chatted with Mu Nian, "It's the county magistrate who just surrendered to me. It's hard to see him become a fish in the pond."

Mu Nian thought for a while, "The couple are smart people. One is willing to accept a wife who is smarter than himself, and the other is willing to silently become a good wife for her husband."

Inside the Xuchuan yamen, Sun Pu grabbed the note in his hand, with a little fright on his face, he looked at the solemn Mei Ying, "Ma'am, what is the meaning of Lord Xuehou?"

Mei Ying glanced out the window, "Isn't your husband investigating the missing persons case?"

"Indeed." Sun Pu's face was ugly, his hands holding the note turned pale, and his voice became tense, "Could it be related to the case I'm investigating?"

Among the things he has done recently, the only thing he can get along with Xue Yi is the case of missing persons investigation. He is the one who implicated his wife and children.

Mei Ying nodded, affirming Sun Pu's words, "Husband, it seems that the matter behind the missing persons is very important." Even Master Xue Hou chose to return to Beijing immediately instead of confronting him head-on.

Perhaps it is more because of the fear that the situation will change as time goes by.

Sun Pu sighed deeply, "Mei Niang, it's because of your husband that you have dragged your mother and son down, and brought your mother and son into the current precarious situation." They just have a little more status than ordinary people, but this In the eyes of some people, his identity is no different from ordinary people.

Mei Ying shook her head, "You don't have to feel ashamed, we made our own choices when things got to this point. What's more..." Mei Ying took a step forward and relaxed Sun Pu's frown, "Don't worry, husband, this It might be a great opportunity for us to bring down the county magistrate and others."

"how do I say this?"

Mei Ying looked at Sun Pu affirmatively, "Master Hou told us to see that the target was placed in the yamen, isn't your husband suspecting that the missing persons are related to the county magistrate?"

"This..." Sun Pu hesitated, "The master surrendered his sincerity to my husband, and the county magistrate's involvement in human trafficking is his sincerity. I have investigated my husband, and the county magistrate is indeed not innocent. He has colluded with Yaya. .”

Mei Ying nodded, "Husband, Master Hou probably means that this county magistrate is just a little guy who explores the way, or just a villain who is greedy for money."

Sun Pu's eyes lit up, "I understand, the people behind the scenes will definitely not go to war for an inconspicuous person who doesn't know a little secret, and even giving him a ride is optimistic. After all, it can be regarded as an opening."

"And Lord Hou doesn't care about this hole that has already been used." Sun Pu's eyes became brighter and brighter, full of desire to survive.

"So we just have to pretend we don't know what's going on behind the scenes, and seize the opportunity of human trafficking and focus on targeting the county magistrate who robbed us." Mei Ying smiled slightly, "Turn a big event with a lot of ties into a small yamen. Power struggle within..."

When major events are reduced to minor events, we will be safe.

Sun Pu, who had figured it out, looked at Mei Ying more and more tenderly, "Mei Niang, you are really my good wife."

The author has something to say:

Xue Yi, "Nian Nian, my good wife and husband!"
