The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 66 Things have changed
That team of people was extremely arrogant, they galloped wildly without any intention of avoiding passers-by, and kicked a farmer's burden, when they got to the side of the Lu family's carriage, the young man at the head actually whipped his whip to the roof of the shed, scaring Xiaomi one jump.

After the people passed by, Xiaomi ran out angrily, "Where is this person? In broad daylight, Dangdalu belongs to his family!"

Seeing that his sister was fine, Boss Lu drove the carriage a few steps forward, helped the farmer pack his load, and invited him to ride into the city together.

The farmer thanked him again and again, and then rejoiced that he could save some trips.

Brother and sister Xiaomi asked about the growth of the crops, and soon entered the city.

In the courtyard of the Chen family, shopkeeper Chen just got up, changed his clothes, and came out rubbing his throbbing temples. Seeing that the Xiaomi brothers and sisters had arrived, he said in embarrassment, "I was happy last night, so I drank a few more sips."

Xiaomi responded with a smile, "But the purchase of the mountain land went well?"

"Haha, that's right, Xiaomi is really smart, he guessed it right away."

Mrs. Zheng brought her maid in with breakfast, quickly arranged it, and invited the brothers and sisters of the Lu family to have dinner together.

"You came out early, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, let's fill your stomachs together, and let my old drunkard take you to the government office."

"I just drank a small pot of wine, how could I become an alcoholic?"

"What is that? It can't be the God of Wealth, right?"

The old couple bickered, which made the Lu brothers and sisters laugh too.

As the old saying goes, when you buy a pig, you look at the pen, and when you marry a daughter-in-law, you look at the mother-in-law.Although these words are a bit vulgar, they are very reasonable.

If the back house is restless, there are constant disputes, and the mother has a mean temper, then most of the girls in this family are not easy to get along with.

Family nurturing is the most important thing. Children who grow up in a happy and happy family will naturally have a peaceful and generous heart.

Xiaomi was extremely satisfied with the marriage she had chosen for her eldest brother, and was so happy that she even drank half a bowl of red date porridge.

Previously, her "aunt" visited for the first time, and it took seven or eight days before she left, so she happened to drink more jujube porridge to make up for it.

Soon, after dinner, shopkeeper Chen took his brother and sister to the government office.It was getting late now, the sun had risen to three feet above the head, the side door of the government office was open, and all kinds of people came in and out, obviously they were here to do business.

Shopkeeper Chen stuffed a piece of silver from the soldier guarding the gate, and then smiled and led the brothers and sisters of the Lu family inside.But when they got to the classroom, they couldn't find Chen Xiaoli.

The old shopkeeper was very puzzled, so he caught a small official who was familiar on weekdays and asked him. The small official was probably busy with some business, so he responded casually, "Brother Chen, I heard that he is on sick leave today. "

sick leave?

Shopkeeper Chen raised his eyebrows, very annoyed, because of his usual friendship, even if Chen Xiaoli was really sick, he should entrust others to take care of his affairs.Could it be that he picked it up because he didn't give money yesterday?
But this is not the time to think about it, Zuo Zuo also got the yellow deed yesterday, and paid the money directly today, just doing business.

The three young and old waited outside the classroom for half an hour, and finally it was their turn.

Shopkeeper Chen learned his lesson this time, and when he entered the door, he used his sleeve to cover up and stuffed a dime of silver into the little official sitting behind the table.

Sure enough, the little official immediately smiled enthusiastically, "What are you going to do?"

Shopkeeper Chen took out the yellow deed and said with a smile, "We want to buy two mountain lands. The yellow deed issued yesterday afternoon will be exchanged for the red deed today."

Hearing this trivial matter, the petty official stretched out his hand to take Huang Qi, but after only a glance, he was stunned.

"This...how is this..."

Xiaomi has been watching from the side, and now no matter how stupid she is, she knows that things have changed. Without thinking about it, she pulled out the Huang Qi from the little official's hand, and asked crisply, "This official, this Huang Qi Is there something wrong with Chico?"

"This...not really," the clerk's face was a little ugly, and he subconsciously glanced at those colleagues who seemed to be very busy. No wonder they refused to take over Brother Chen's leave today, and just pushed him to sit here.It turns out that there is such a hidden secret in the middle...

"Since there is nothing wrong with the yellow deed, please ask the official to help us quickly get the red deed. We have also brought the silver."

Xiaomi opened his mouth lightly, but the words he said were not soft at all.

The little official's brow was a little sweaty, and he laughed after thinking about it, "You guys are late, these two mountains... were bought by someone else in the morning."

"what?"

Shopkeeper Chen was immediately annoyed when he heard this, and shouted, "How is it possible, we already obtained the yellow deed yesterday, and the two mountain lands have been set up for sale, who would disregard the contract and snatch the mountain land by force?"

The little official was gasping for breath. As soon as he sat here in the morning, the master's precious nephew came over with 200 taels, urging him to hurry up and get the land deed, how dare he be negligent.Only now did I realize that the prodigal bastard had robbed others and left him behind...

"Sell it if you say it, who cares what yellow deed and black deed you got, hurry up, don't delay my business!"

The petty official was also a little annoyed, he had no choice but to play a rogue, got up and stretched out his hand to push shopkeeper Chen, "If you don't leave, I will call someone to drag you out!"

Shopkeeper Chen was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped up, and he almost fainted.For so many years, he has managed very well in Anzhou Prefecture, and he has some face. When has he been treated so slowly.And in front of the two juniors...

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the Fu Yin to file a complaint, but I don't believe it, holding Huang in my hand..."

"Uncle Chen, let's go back first, there may be some misunderstanding."

Now standing in other people's territory, Xiaomi is afraid that this little official will try to snatch Huang Qi back, and then he will have no evidence at all.

She managed to persuade shopkeeper Chen to leave the gate of the mansion, but in the end, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she pulled a soldier and said a few words, and stuffed a silver key.

Shopkeeper Chen panted heavily with anger, and said guiltily, "Xiaomi, this matter..."

"Uncle Chen, we are all one family, so you don't have to worry too much. If something happens suddenly, if someone decides to plot, we will be hard to guard against."

Xiaomi's heart was heavy, but he still smiled and comforted the old man, for fear that shopkeeper Chen would get angry.

After all, shopkeeper Chen often walked around outside, so he calmed down quickly, pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Xiaomi is right, could it be that I was talking to someone on Sunday, and someone listened to me?"

The old and the young were guessing, and the soldier came out earlier.Xiaomi and the others are outsiders, so it is not easy to ask some inside information, but this soldier is a family member of the government office, walk in the door, pull acquaintances to ask a few questions about just now, and naturally know all about it .

But he didn't want to say much, he just said a few words, "In the morning, Master's nephew came to buy two pieces of mountain land."

The shopkeeper Chen and the brothers and sisters Xiaomi immediately understood that someone had stepped in, and it was an open robbery. The reasons were self-evident, and there were only two kinds, enmity or profit.

The Lu family asked themselves that they were low-key in their daily activities, and had never offended anyone to the point of deep hatred, so there was only one reason left, profit.

The mountain tops are sold in the government office, but only 200 taels of silver.But if it falls into the hands of outsiders, it is certain that the Lu family needs these two hills, and they may not be willing to sell them for 2000 taels.

Shopkeeper Chen stomped his feet in resentment, he shouldn't have come yesterday, he shouldn't have won the red contract earlier now.At this moment, they startled the snake, and they were turned against the army...

Xiaomi didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the team he met on the road early in the morning, that arrogant young man...

"No, big brother, let's hurry back to the mountain, the previous team might be going to our house!"

"Ah!" Boss Chen became anxious when he heard this, and ran away after pulling the girl, "Go!"

The brothers and sisters didn't have time to say goodbye to shopkeeper Chen, so they ran back to Chen's house to pick up the carriage, and ran all the way out of the city to Laoxiongling.

Sure enough, on the way, he met Liu Xiaodao running towards him on a horse.

"Xiaomi, brother, you are back! A group of people came just now and said that they bought Laoxiongling, and they will not let everyone dig wells and build yards!"

"Okay, we know, let's go back and have a look!"

Xiaomi tightly grasped the skirt of the clothes in his hand, and the fire in his heart was burning three feet high.Obviously everything was going well, but at the critical moment, someone directly stepped on the neck, and it was difficult to breathe after that, and no one could be happy.

The old horse Xu also knew that something happened at home, and was thinking about his brothers, he ran vigorously on his feet, and soon got off the main road and turned to the mountain pass of Laoxiongling.

Previously, the villagers cut down the two gates made of trees, but now they are completely surrounded.Inside the door, needless to say, it was the younger generation of the village who were leading the way, and behind them were the old and young men of the village.

Outside the door, it was the same team that we met on the road earlier, apart from the thug-eyed rich man, there were seven or eight domestic servants, five or six yamen servants, and they made up a dozen or so people.

The young man was very arrogant, he was kicking towards the wooden door, shouting, "Damn untouchables, I bought Laoxiongling, this is my land boundary, I have the final say. If you want to live, kneel to me quickly Kowtow, otherwise I will kick you out and starve you lowly bastards to death!"

Old and young Xiongling's faces were livid with anger, wishing they could take up their bows and arrows and immediately shoot this dog that came out of nowhere into a sieve.

Fortunately, there were still a few elders subduing him. Old Master Feng looked at Lao Yang squatting on the big rock next to him and smoking shredded tobacco. He didn't seem anxious at all, and he felt confident.So he began to persuade everyone, "Don't worry, you will know what's going on when Xiaomi comes back."

But the young son refused to stop talking, "Old man, this son has already taken the title deed, today is the emperor's old son, and this land is also in my hands!"

"That's not necessarily true!"

A crisp female voice came, causing the young man to turn his head suddenly. Seeing that it was a fair and charming little girl, he teased, "Oh, this poor country has raised a little beauty?"

Xiaomi ignored him, and went straight to the wooden door with his brother and the knife, turned around and stood in front of the villagers, and asked, "Are you Mr. Du? The nephew of the master of the government office?"

Du Cai raised his brows and waved the fan in his hand more freely, and replied, "It's my son, since you know it, why don't you kneel down and kowtow quickly?"
