After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 196

Zhou Shanxuan agreed to Su Mo, and after solemnly accepting the two danglings of money, he raised his hand and bowed to him.

"Madam Gu is very kind. I'd rather be ashamed. Don't worry, I will handle this matter thoroughly and live up to Madam Gu's trust in me."

Su Mo has the memory of the original body, so he knows the meaning of the different salutes.

To bow, to bow deeply, to express one's deep respect for others. In this feudal society, it is rare for Zhou Shanxie to bow to a woman.

I don't know what he was thinking...

Su Mo looked at Zhou Shanxie's drooping head, and felt a little guilty. She really deserved the word "great kindness" and such heavy etiquette.

"Shopkeeper Zhou is being polite, get up quickly!"

Zhou Shanxiu was also a good-natured person, and felt that Su Mo admired him, so he bowed and lowered his address a bit.

But when he bent down, he suddenly realized that he saluted rashly, which would inevitably make Mrs. Gu feel embarrassed.

So when Su Mo opened his mouth, he stood up straight and smiled apologetically.

Su Mo didn't continue to say anything. After everything was done, it was time to go back. There were still people waiting at home.

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Zhou Shanxi raised her leg, "Then I'll see you off..."

"You're going to the county seat tonight, I'm afraid you'll be too busy, so don't bother."

Su Mo declined him politely, left a word with meaning, and got on the bullock cart.

Zhou Shanxiu also reacted quickly, and immediately understood that Su Mo was talking about Zhou Yan's side. He looked at the ox cart that was gradually leaving, full of emotion.

"This week, Zhou Yan is really lucky!"

……

The women of the Chen family took a rest after returning from the Gu family, and they lived at the end of the village. They didn't know that the people in the yamen were with the village head.

They surrounded Wang Yuan, and then asked the daughter-in-law to wake up the sons, shout out, beat Wang Yuan, and then tied Wang Yuan up with hemp rope like a pig.

Wang Yuan's mouth was covered with a rag, Chen Lingnan's mother, that is, the woman who asked her daughter-in-law if she lost money, was not afraid of him hearing, and said to her son: "Son, what are you talking about?" deal with?"

Without hesitation, Chen Lingnan replied: "Mother, this Wang Yuan came into our courtyard to steal money in broad daylight, and was caught and seized.

Logically speaking, it should be reported to the officials and let Master Qingtian make the decision, but it is a village after all, so there is no need for us to be too unfeeling.

The son pondered, how about sending him to the village head and asking the village head to uphold justice? "

Chen Lingnan's mother raised her eyelids slightly, and looked at the women around her: "What do you think of this method?"

"Lingnan is kind-hearted and a good boy, so let's do this."

"Then, son, bring Wang Yuan with you, and we'll find the village chief."

Lingnan's mother smiled, and said again: "I will trouble you to be a witness in this matter, so that this little brat Wang Yuan will not talk nonsense when he meets the village chief."

"It's easy to say... easy to say."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Wang Yuan is not stingy, and he really panicked when he was lifted up with a stick like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

He struggled and twisted his body, trying to yell and let them let him go, but his mouth was blocked, "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm up" and he didn't say anything.

Chen Lingnan lifted the stick behind him, he watched Wang Yuan struggling uselessly, and snorted coldly.

Live it!

It's not good to provoke anyone, dare to provoke Gu Su's.

On the village head's side, after a long time of discussion, they finally came up with a regulation.

In the evening, the yamen will send back the living people first. As for the corpses, the family members will go to the yamen to claim them. After signing the painting, they can receive five taels of silver as funeral expenses.

The clan elders of the Wang family looked unhappy, because their ideal funeral expenses were ten taels of silver.

After all, these are men who died in their prime, the pillars of the family, without them, how can the remaining women and children earn money?

Besides, five taels of silver sounds like a lot, but if you really have to calculate it carefully, it will be enough for a year if you save it tightly.

But Li Feng didn't think so.

This matter has nothing to do with the Yamen.

Seeing money, those people were greedy for the wages promised by Wang Yingying, signed the document, and voluntarily walked this road.

Now that something happened, the yamen's willingness to pay for the funeral is the utmost benevolence.

Twelve taels of silver a piece, a total of 85 people died, which is 850 taels of silver after conversion.

In the coastal county called Shangda County, the county magistrate's monthly salary is only ten taels of silver, not counting other things.

It must be impossible for the Wang family to open their mouths for ten taels of silver.

When Li Feng came, he had already made preparations, and he had specifically asked for the opinion of the county magistrate, so when discussing this matter, his attitude was very clear.

Five taels of silver is already the maximum limit for him to make decisions. If he wants to add more money, he can go to the yamen to find the county magistrate by himself.

As for why they discussed with them, instead of coming directly to announce the instructions of the county magistrate, and then walked away.

In the final analysis, it is still for Su Mo's sake to give the village chief a little favor.

But these old fellows of the royal family, who put their noses on their faces, really forgot the helpless look of the Wang family kneeling on the ground when the yamen servants came to take Wang Juren away in the year of the fraud case.

Fortunately, the village chief was not confused, he said a few nice words to Li Feng, and then looked at the royal patriarch and the others.

The head of the patriarch Wang was like a transparent person, silent. The eyes of the village head flickered slightly, and his eyes moved to the elders with a calm expression.

"Uncles and uncles, the county magistrate is kind and willing to pay the funeral expenses, and you should accept it when you see it.

After all, uncles and uncles, don’t forget why they ended up like this..."

The faces of the elders of the clan were slightly stiff, and if they didn't want to, they could only pinch their noses to respond.

Whoever let the village chief say it was reasonable, those people ended up like this, in the final analysis, they were dazzled by their own interests, and they couldn't blame others except Wang Yingying.

What's more, Wang Yingying is dead.

Li Feng didn't want to continue talking, if it wasn't for Mrs. Gu, as soon as these unreputed villagers opened their mouths, he would ask his subordinates to detain them and send them directly to the yamen cell.

"Now that the discussion has been made, the head of this team will go back to the yamen first and report the details to the county magistrate.

This has done everything that should be done earlier, and it also saves you people from going to the Yamen and having to wait outside. "

The village head raised his hand in a bow, "This is hard work, I thank the team leader here."

The village head knows the general situation, and Li Feng is willing to give a good face, "This is the duty of the team leader. You are welcome to leave, the village head."

But the royal patriarch and elders of the Wang clan...

Li Feng's cold eyes swept across a few people, and after a cold snort, he lifted his legs and left.

The royal patriarch pretended not to see it, and lowered his head, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

The clan elders scoffed at Li Feng's attitude.

The village chief guessed a little bit of their thoughts.

When Wang Juren of the Wang clan was involved in a fraud case, the members of the Wang clan instantly fell from their heights, feeling depressed.

I thought that the Wang family would be abolished like this, but unexpectedly, the fraud case was re-investigated, and the case of Wang Juren was overturned.

The emperor made a decree to allow the Wang family to retake the imperial examination and give them compensation.

The Wang clan used those compensations to select gifted children from the clan and send them to school. In just a few years, there were a few boys like Wang Xiucai and Wang Kuiyuan.

Wang Xiucai is indeed the real material, and his wife has already asserted that, no accident, this year's provincial examination must be on the list.

Back then, when Wang Juren was still alive, how glorious was the Wang family?
The hearts of these elders are gone!
　Hey, I'm back~

　　I lay in bed for several days, and let me enjoy the blessing of my little cotton-padded jacket (just a little person, he crawls on my bed and feeds me oranges, biscuits, medicine, water, and sings me to sleep.), I feel so comfortable in my heart, and the code words are all exciting.
