Chapter 104 Thunderbolt
The main hall of the Chen family in Miyun County.

Master Mu was drinking tea, while the Patriarch of the Chen family was beating around the bush to inquire about his coming.

Master Mu's appearance here is precisely because of the order of the immortal head, to come to buy the blue bricks needed to build a house.

Ever since they settled down in Xiahe Village and lived in a blue-brick concrete house, Mr. Mu and his wife almost lost their minds. The bright glazed windows and the warm and comfortable heated kang made them feel that they were lucky to meet the immortal in their three lives.

Looking at the old decorations of the Chen family at this moment, no matter how luxurious it is, deep in his heart he couldn't help but look down on it.

At this moment, after Master Mu drank the good tea in his cup, he said slowly: "Nephew, the old man is still here for Qingzhuan."

Patriarch Chen looked happy, Mu Xiansheng still came for Qingzhuan?

He has not forgotten the top-quality glazed bead he obtained from Master Mu before, and it has been kept in the family's secret treasure house for a long time to wipe and play with. He plans to give this treasure to his son as a promotion fund when he is in Beijing. It's time for his official position to change, he is not willing to be suppressed by the Mu family all the time.

Thinking that he was warned and suppressed by the county magistrate when he just sent someone to inquire before he could take any action, which made him feel suffocated all the time.

The county magistrate's warning didn't matter, but he had to fear Mu Wen Mu Wu who was also an official in the capital.

I heard that Master Namu's two sons have been promoted again. If he doesn't use some means to promote his son's official position during the Beijing inspection, then his Chen family will never be able to cover the sky with one hand in Miyun County.

Before, he was a little worried that a glazed bead would not be able to get his son in one step, so he raised the share price of the family's tenants, hoping to raise some more money.

His tax increase behavior even killed several tenants. There was not much food left after the flood, but the Chen family not only did not reduce the tax but also increased it. There was not a single morsel left, but he still owed the Chen family some.

After seeing the whole family of several tenants hanged themselves, the head of the Chen family also knew that he had pushed too hard, so he "kindly" extended grain loans for other tenants, which also caused all the tenants under the name of the Chen family to carry the debt of never repaying their debts. Unpaid loans are destined to ruin the family in the future, but Patriarch Chen has no compassion for this.

Repaying debts is a matter of course.

It is my Chen family's kindness to let you have a meal.

Having said that, the Patriarch of the Chen family is of course very happy to hear that Master Mu has come to buy bricks again. He thinks that this time he will be able to fully meet his son's needs for promotion.

Thinking of this, the Patriarch of the Chen family had a smile on his face, and said, "I don't know how many green bricks Master Mu needs this time? Can we still exchange those glazed beads?"

Master Mu glanced at Patriarch Chen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: their faces are still so greedy and annoying, fortunately, he has already woken up.

Then he said: "No, I will pay with silver for the purchase of green bricks this time, but the green bricks I need this time is not a small amount, at least a million pieces, I wonder if my nephew can eat it?"

The Patriarch of the Chen family was a little disappointed when he heard Master Mu say that he would not use the top-quality glazed beads this time, but he couldn't help being surprised when he learned that Master Mu actually needed a million green bricks.

Mu Xiansheng actually needs so many blue bricks?

One million yuan, even if it is to build a palace, it is enough.

Although his Chen family has a brick kiln, the previous 20 bricks are already most of the inventory. It will take some time to burn the 100 million green bricks. Thinking of this, he said:
"Master Mu, my Chen family can eat these millions of green bricks, but it will take some time to bake them. I wonder how long Master Mu will have?"

How long is the deadline?
Master Mu couldn't help recalling that the Immortal Elder's tone when he asked him to buy blue bricks on the radio seemed a little urgent, so he said, "Of course, the sooner the better."

The head of the Chen family thought about it in his heart. Due to the shortage of manpower, his brick kiln could only burn tens of thousands of yuan at a time, and the time needed to fire a kiln was three days and three nights. It will take at least a month to get [-] green bricks. I think Master Mu can't wait so long. It seems that we can only find another way to send more people to the brick kiln.

For this huge deal, he will take it no matter what. You must know that Mr. Mu bought 20 green bricks when he came here for the first time, and it was a million bricks not long after. There must be a big project behind the bricks, and it is very likely that I will buy blue bricks again in the future. This kind of big business is rarely encountered in a lifetime, so no matter what, I must meet the various requirements of Master Mu and make sure to make this deal .

Afterwards, Master Chen and Master Mu agreed that a million blue bricks would be fired within half a month at most. In fact, Master Mu was still a little unsatisfied with the time given by Master Chen. Regarding the use of these green bricks, Mu The master also had some guesses in his heart.

It was mentioned before that the Immortal Chief had set up a stronghold near the Great Wall, and it was said that there were more people than Xiahe Village.

I thought that this batch of blue bricks was to build a house for them, but seeing that winter was about to begin, it might be too late to break the ground in half a month, so Master Mu asked Patriarch Chen to burn a batch of bricks and ship a batch.

Let the fairy head move first.

Afterwards, Master Mu took the first batch of tens of thousands of green bricks and left slowly.

At the same time, on the official road from the capital to Miyun County, a carriage was galloping.

Inside the carriage were Master Mu's two sons, Mu Wen and Mu Wu. Because the Tartars outside Gubeikou had dispersed for some unknown reason, the two brothers took this opportunity to apply for Muxiu and then sat on the carriage. The carriage was going back to Miyun County and wanted to ask for clarification.

The countless letters sent to the old man before have not been answered, which made the two brothers feel a little worried.

"Brother, you said that father and mother haven't replied to us all this time, so nothing will happen, right?" Mu Wu in the carriage looked worriedly at the elder brother beside him.

"Shut up, how can anyone curse your parents like that? Besides, who doesn't order thin noodles from our Mu family in Miyun County? It's impossible that something will happen to your parents, so don't think about it, you'll know when you get home later."

When the two brothers returned to Mu's Mansion, they saw that both the main door and the side door of Mu's Mansion were closed, and they couldn't help but thump in their hearts.

It's bad, did something really happen to the parents?But why didn't anyone go to the capital to report?
'bang bang bang'

"Is anyone there? Open the door quickly." Mu Wen couldn't help shouting eagerly.

After a while, just when the two brothers were about to break in, the door was slowly opened.

"It turns out that the two young masters are back!" The two brothers had some impressions of the person who opened the door. This person seemed to be the nursing home at home. At the same time, seeing that there was no panic on the nursing home's face, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. .

It seemed that there was nothing wrong at home, so he couldn't help but walked through the door and asked as he walked, "Where is Housekeeper Mu? Isn't he usually the one who opens the door? Why didn't you see him today?"

But before the nursing home could reply, the two brothers, Mu Wen and Mu Wu, both stopped and froze in place.

At this moment, the two of them had unbelievable expressions. This courtyard, which is cleaner than a thief, is really my home?
Mu Wu couldn't help buttocks sitting on the ground, pointed to the empty courtyard with trembling hands and asked tremblingly: "Where are the things at home?"

The nurse confessed honestly: "Young master, everything in the house has been sold by the master."

heard the words.The two brothers, Mu Wen and Mu Wu were dizzy for an instant, and their eyes glowed with gold.

Dad sold everything?

Then, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly looked at the nursing home, and continued to ask: "Is our family so short of money? Dad actually sold everything?"

The nursing home respectfully cupped his hands and said: "Back to the two sons, our Mu family is very short of money, in order to make up money, the master sold all the family property, and only then did the people compensate for the interest and various properties embezzled over the years."

When the two brothers heard this, they couldn't help digging their ears hard.

If you heard it wrong, you must have heard it wrong.

Dad actually sold all the family property and returned it to those mud legs?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
But the two brothers looked at the empty courtyard and stiffly saw the serious appearance of the guard, they knew in their hearts that it was definitely not an auditory hallucination, and they couldn't help feeling sad.

All the silver?
What will they do if they are promoted in the future without money?
Without the support of their father, how could they support the capital's wife and children with just that little salary?
The two brothers only had time to cry out "Father!" before they felt their eyes go dark and passed out completely.
