However, before Tao Mo came up with a countermeasure, the news brought by Hao Guozi had solved this problem.

"Dark marriage?" Tao Mo was stunned.

Hao Guozi nodded and said, "The person sent by Mr. Tong does say that this is true. Mr. Tong said that Miss Tong has never married for life and is afraid of being lonely in the underworld. It is rare that Mr. Cai is alone, so he is willing to pay for the two to get a ghost marriage and be buried at the side."

Tao Mo could hear what Mr. Tong said that he never married for life and was alone and was just empty talk. What he really wanted was to fulfill his daughter's wishes during his lifetime. It would be good that he could not sleep in the same bed in life. If he could die, he could fulfill his wishes. "This ending is not a perfection. I just don't know if Miss Tong and Cai Fengyuan really have knowledge underground."

Hao Guozi said: "You may be able to cultivate the next life for the ups and downs of this life."

Tao Mo said in surprise: "Do you believe in the next life?"

"Hehe, all monks, oh no, don't they say that?" Hao Guozi said, "It must make sense, otherwise why do so many people believe it?"

Tao Mo lowered his head and said, "If only there is one, that's great."

"Um?"

"My father practices good deeds throughout his life. If he really lives in the next life, he will definitely be able to give birth to a good family and enjoy the glory and wealth of his whole life. He will definitely not meet an unfilial son like me again."

Seeing him talking, Hao Guozi's eyebrows were filled with sorrow and hurriedly changed the topic: "Young Master, in a few days it will be the New Year. How are you going to spend it?"

Tao Mo thought for a while and said, "It's up to Lao Tao to make the decision."

Hao Guozi pulled his sleeve and ran away, "Let's go and ask now."

“Ask who?”

"Old Tao."

"Do you know where Lao Tao is?"

"I don't know, the young master knows?"

"Know."

"Where?"

“…turn around and move forward.”

The ghost marriage was not a glorious thing, and the New Year was approaching, and the Tong Mansion was handled with such a secret. Tao Mo and Gu She also received the red eggs from the Tong Mansion later and only learned about this matter.

At this time, Tanyang County was completely immersed in the joy of celebrating the New Year. Whether it was Miss Tong or Cai Fengyuan, they were all left behind and no one mentioned it again.

But the county government gradually became deserted.

The servants went home one after another, except for the two homeless ones, only five people were left in the county government.

Lao Tao called the two servants left behind to the hall and gave them another seat. Although there were two tables, it was more lively than the three.

Tao Mo ate silently.

Lao Tao and Hao Guozi knew that when he thought of Mr. Tao, they both tried their best to make trouble. The servants were a little restrained at first, but later they didn't care whether the boss was not a boss, so they all became presumptuous.

Tao Mo was laughed at by them several times, and finally showed off his face and started drinking.

After drinking one or two cups, he would not distinguish between east, west, south and north.

Hao Guozi and the servant were unable to drink and sat down one by one.

Seeing that the five people had gone to four of them, one of them was bored to watch at night, Lao Tao had to send them back to the room staggeringly.

No words all night.

When the door opened again, it was already New Year.

It was noon when the pottery and ink rose.

He covered his hangover-bearing head and walked to Lao Tao's door. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Hao Guozi shouted in a loud voice: "Young Master, Master Jin is here to pay New Year's greetings!"

Tao Mo's head was buzzing after being roared, and after a while, he said, "Who is Master Jin?"

Hao Guozi turned his head and looked at Master Jin with a blank expression, and smiled and said, "It's the one that the young master invited to visit the cottage three times."

"Three visits to the thatched cottage?" Tao Mo suddenly turned around. Although he was ignorant, he had heard the story of Liu Bei's visit to the thatched cottage and invited Zhuge Liang, a military advisor, to come out of the mountain after three visits to the thatched cottage. "Sir Jin?"

Master Jin smiled and said without a smile: "Did the boss think of me? I thought I wanted to find another place."

Tao Mo ran down with embarrassment, "I drank some wine last night."

Master Jin ignored him and handed the basket in his hand to Hao Guozi, saying, "This is a snack made by Neizi himself. If the boss doesn't dislike it..."

"Don't dislike it or not..." Tao Mo quickly cut off his words.

Master Jin said, "So, thank you for your boss."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Tao Mo hurriedly said, "You are rare to come, why not stay for a meal?"

"I'm a rare thing to come?" Master Jin couldn't hold on with a smile, "If I remember correctly, I'll come every day except yesterday."

Tao Mo knew he was wrong, "Yes, yes, yes, I, I just want to stay with the master for a meal."

Master Jin looked at him suspiciously. Did he have anything to say at the dinner table? After thinking about this, Master Jin was kept.

Originally, three people and one table became four people and one table, which was a little lively.

However, Lao Tao and Hao Guozi both noticed that Master Jin did not look at him when he ate, but stuck to Tao Mo, looking inquiring.

Lao Tao and Hao Guozi exchanged glances secretly.

Hao Guozi picked up the food for Master Jin, "Master, eat more, you are too thin."

Master Jin chewed and threw the soybean sprouts he had picked up, and said lightly: "Eat too much bean sprouts and you will naturally lose weight."

Hao Guozi shook his eyes at Lao Tao.

Lao Tao smiled at Master Jin and said, "There are also a few herbs in this chicken soup, which are extremely nourishing. Master may as well try it."

Master Jin looked at him for no reason, "I have already drunk three bowls."

Seeing that Hao Guozi and Lao Tao were both greeting each other, Tao Mo said, "This meat is delicious, Master, please try it."

Could it be that what he wanted to hint was hidden in this braised pork? Master Jin looked at the plate of braised pork that was farthest away from him, suspiciously picked up a chopstick, put it in his mouth, and slowly savored it.

Hao Guozi and Lao Tao both looked depressed.

Tao Mo asked, "How is it taste?"

Master Jin shook his head and said, "I haven't tasted it yet."

Hao Guozi quickly changed the braised pork to him, "Take it slowly."

Master Jin ate a piece and felt that the meat was fat but not greasy, and the taste was moderate, but he could not think of anything else. As he was thinking, he suddenly saw someone coming in from outside, but it was Cui Jiong.

"Cui Dianshi."

Everyone stood up to greet each other.

Cui Jiong quickly returned the gift. He also came to pay New Year's greetings. He originally thought that he would come back after lunch and sit for a while before leaving, but he actually ran into the embarrassing moment of their meal. So before Hao Guozi could serve tea, he found an excuse to say goodbye.

Although he came and went in a hurry, Master Jin flashed his inspiration. Could it be that Tao Mo was hinting at the yamen's oil and water?!

The county magistrate is not only responsible for criminal cases, but also responsibilities such as taxation, grain payment, disaster relief, education, and education. Among them, Tanyang County is rich in people and wealth, and there is no need to provide disaster relief. There is also a rampant litigationist, and there is no need to worry about education and education. However, there is a lot of oil and water in this tax payment. However, the person who fished this oil and water was not the county magistrates, and those county magistrates may have something to do, but the mastermind is Cui Jiong, who has been in a state of dying for more than ten years in Tanyang County. He has made great efforts to make money, never leave the books, and some lawsuits are there.

Although the master knew that the water was clear, there was no fish. Cui Jiong was usually aware of people, so they turned a blind eye and let him go. But in recent days, not long after Tao Mo took office, Cui Jiong got a large amount of silver for filial piety from the merchants. Although Master Jin didn't know what Cui Jiong agreed to, he had passed by his eyes. Not to mention how Tao Mo in his heart was unfathomable, just because the new official had just taken office and didn't know what his spleen and stomach were, Cui Jiong rashly threw himself into a body of fishy body, which was a pity.

He thought to himself. Is this coincidence of Cui Jiong, was it a hint that Tao Mo deliberately gave him? If it was as he thought, then Tao Mo would definitely not want to touch Cui Jiong at this moment. He should just want to use his own mouth to make Cui Jiong restrain himself a little, just like the braised pork, although it was oily, it would not be greasy.

Thinking of this, Master Jin thought he had understood the true meaning of Tao Mo's chest, so he stopped the chopsticks and smiled and said, "This braised pork is really well-cooked, oily but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and there is no trace."

Lao Tao heard that he had some ideas, but he didn't know what it meant, so he had to ask Tao Mo with his eyes.

Tao Mo didn't know that a braised pork made Master Jin's thoughts fly thousands of miles away. He just thought he really liked it and smiled: "If Master likes it, you might as well eat more."

"No, no, no. Everything must be stopped in time." Master Jin raised his eyebrows to show that he had already understood.

Tao Mo looked at it, so he grabbed it in his mouth and said, "What a pity to be left."

Only then did Master Jin fully "understand" that the new county magistrate also wanted to get a share of the pie!
