The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 68
"It's okay, Dad, it's just a small misunderstanding, I can deal with it."

"That's good," Father Lu has always been a girl who believes what she says, and now he is relieved and feels hungry, "What kind of food are you serving, made by the mountain?"

"Yeah, Dad eats first when he's hungry, I still have some things to do."

"it is good."

Father Lu went back with the food, and Xiaomi wandered around the village.Just now she said she was sure, but she was actually not sure.After all, for so many years, the old and the young in the village have built pigpens or warehouses. If they go out of the land nearly three miles to the left of Lu's house, Du Youcai will be caught.

Before she could walk around the village, Liu Xiaodao rushed up excitedly.

"Xiaomi, you asked me to find out everything."

"Really, tell me!"

Xiaomi pulled the knife to find a rock and sat down. Just as the knife was about to speak, it came out of nowhere on the first day of the lunar new year and sat down at Xiaomi's feet.

Xiaomi patted his head and asked, "Aren't you hungry, the first day of junior high school, why don't you go home for dinner?"

On the first day of junior high school, he was grinning brilliantly, and had no intention of leaving at all.

Xiaomi didn't make things difficult for him, and urged Xiaodao to ask, "Is the man surnamed Du really the nephew of the master of the government office? Is he still favored? This time, does the master know about it?"

Xiaodao glanced at the first day of the junior high school, his eyes were a little inexplicable, and he still responded, "Those two servants ate their food and received the money. There is nothing to hide. According to them, the father and mother surnamed Du died early, and they were taken away by the master. He was raised at home as a son, and he wanted to marry his daughter to him. But the surname Du was poor at reading, and he ate, drank, and whored... well, he did all kinds of bad things, so the wife of the master's family disagreed, so he just hung up. The day before yesterday in the casino After losing money again, the master lost his temper and refused to help him pay it back, so he thought of crooked ways."

"So, it's also our bad luck. However, the master knew that he was robbing the land lease and wanted to blackmail him?"

"The two servants said that the person surnamed Du ran to the master's study for more than half an hour last night, probably with the master's acquiescence."

Xiaodao felt a little annoyed as he spoke, and couldn't help but annoyed, "Why don't we go and beat the government office's grievance drum! With Huang Qi in hand, it's the people in the government office who backtracked on their promises, so let's make up for it!"

"No," Xiaomi shook his head, "Officials and officials protect each other. With the master here, the master must take care of it. It's good to give us a deposit of 100 taels. If you have a bad heart, just cheat Huang Qi and destroy it. We don't have money. If you can’t get it back, the evidence is gone.”

"What should I do?"

Xiaodao became anxious, got up and turned around, "We can't let them go in and out of Laoxiongling every day."

"I can only think of a way, even if I sue an official, I have to find someone who won't protect me!"

Knowing the details of Du Youcai, Xiaomi was not in such a hurry. Seeing Xiaodao's appearance, he persuaded, "Brother Xiaodao, don't worry, it will be resolved in the end. After you have eaten, find my elder brother and go with him The Chen family, see if shopkeeper Chen has found any news."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

At this time, even if Xiaomi asked him to kill Du with a knife, he would not hesitate, let alone such a trivial matter.

He lifted his legs and went down the mountain, leaving Xiaomi sitting on the rock thinking for a long time.Although what she said just now was certain, in fact, there was really no good way.

Seeing that the sun was getting stronger at first glance, he got up and stood behind Xiaomi, blocking her in his shadow.

Xiaomi suddenly felt that his surroundings had darkened, and when he came back to his senses and saw the appearance of the first day of the junior high school, his heart warmed up, so he got up and took him home together.

No matter how difficult the time is, eat the most, and when you are full, you will have the strength to think of a way.

Besides, shopkeeper Chen saw off the brothers and sisters of the Lu family in the morning, and was so angry that he didn't go home, so he went directly to the small courtyard where Xiaoli Chen lived.

Chen Xiaoli had a jug of wine early in the morning, with a plate of peanuts, frowning and drinking non-stop.

His mother-in-law is a savage, picking out thick clothes to dry, while scolding him, "What a wonderful day, why don't you go to work, why are you squatting at home? Drinking, you know how to drink, and you can drink in the flagon." Out of gold?"

Chen Xiaoli ignored her, and felt uncomfortable thinking about the morning.Land deeds and the like were originally his responsibility, but the master's nephew forced him to take back the yellow deed issued yesterday, and robbed the two hills of Old Xiongling.

He has been in the yamen for many years, and his hands are naturally not clean, but this time the person who did it was an acquaintance, and it could even be said that he was kind to him.He was really sorry, so he pretended to be sick and hid back home.

But he knew that if he didn't do it, there would be people in the yamen who would curry favor with the master's nephew.Those two hills must have been pried away by someone surnamed Du...

Just when he was upset, shopkeeper Chen came to the door.

Chen Xiaoli's daughter-in-law also met shopkeeper Chen. At the time when the old man was seriously ill, shopkeeper Chen helped out with money. Later, Xiaoli Chen gained a firm foothold in the government office, thanks to shopkeeper Chen's help.

At this moment, shopkeeper Chen suddenly came to the door, and he hurried up to greet him, "Brother Chen, why are you free today? Come in and sit down!"

No matter how annoyed shopkeeper Chen was, he couldn't take it out on the woman, so he held back his anger and exchanged some pleasantries, but as soon as he entered the door and saw that Xiaoli Chen was drinking, he immediately exploded, "Chen Quan, what's going on? After finishing the Huang Qi mountain, how could it be someone else's today? If you don't explain it clearly to me, our two families will never get in touch with each other!"

With a bitter face, Chen Xiaoli got up and apologized repeatedly, "Brother, I am really sorry for you..."

Chen Xiaoli's daughter-in-law didn't know what happened, so she hurried to speak for her man, "Brother, please speak slowly. My child's father doesn't know what's wrong. Don't do it..."

Shopkeeper Chen sighed long, knowing that Chen Quan was a petty official, and if he wanted to rob him, he would definitely not be able to stop him.After all, they will have to walk around the Yamen in the future, and no one can lose their job of supporting their families because of this matter.

Chen Xiaoli didn't hide anything, he told all the information he had heard, and finally said, "Brother, Mr. Fu Yin usually doesn't take care of things very much. Most of the government offices are controlled by Mr. Sui, and this grass bag does a lot of things like this." But everyone just swallowed it. Now, if the brothers clear it up, the 100 taels of deposit may be able to come out, but...the other things can’t help. "

"Is there no law in this world? I really can't wait to go to Kyoto to file a lawsuit."

Shopkeeper Chen grabbed the jug casually and poured himself a cup.

Chen Xiaoli's daughter-in-law hurriedly arranged two new dishes and exchanged for new wine. Shopkeeper Chen ate a few mouthfuls, but stood up again.

"No, I still have to think of a way. Not to mention that the Lu family is my Yuexian's in-law's family, but just looking at the Lu family's usual behavior, I can't stand by at this time."

While talking, he hastily bid farewell to Chen Xiaoli and his wife and went to find someone to help.

It's a pity that old friends and close friends who get along with each other on weekdays, when they hear that they are going to offend the second-in-command of the government office, they all shake their heads like dry leaves in autumn, either to shirk something at home, or to say that they are not feeling well.The only one really couldn't save his face, and directly persuaded, "I heard that your brother Xin is no longer working in the Tang family, so you can just open the cloth village. As for other things, let's ignore it. Mud Buddha crossing the river, Gu Hao Your own life is important."

Shopkeeper Chen was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It turned out that everyone refused to help, not only because they were afraid of the master, but also because the Chen family lost the backing of the Tang family...

The friendship of many years ago was stripped of his coat at this time, revealing his true appearance.

Mrs. Zheng was also impatient at home. Before Lu Xiaomi's brother and sister hurriedly took the carriage and rushed back to Laoxiongling, she felt that something had happened, but her old man didn't come back for a long time.

She couldn't bear it and asked the boy to search for him. After finally finding someone, he was carried back by the boy.

This time, the Chen family was completely blown up, the maid was busy boiling water to ask the doctor, and even Yuexian rushed over from the backyard.Zheng's anxiety would only hug her drowsy wife and shed tears, but Yuexian arranged for a maid to receive the doctor, and was very calm.

Shopkeeper Chen was only furious for a while, and he was not seriously ill. After drinking the medicinal soup, and seeing his wife and daughter miss him so much, he slowly got over it.

Before Mrs. Zheng asked clearly, Boss Lu and Liu Xiaodao came to the door.

Boss Lu saw that shopkeeper Chen was like this, no matter how dull he was, he knew that it was because of his own affairs that the old man had to worry about it.

So, with an apologetic expression on his face, he explained the matter on the mountain in detail, and finally glanced at the embroidered shoes that were faintly exposed behind the screen, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, he is plotting deliberately, no matter how careful you are, you won't be able to avoid it. I The younger sister said that now we will drag it out and think of a way slowly, the fields and houses of the left and right families are all on our own land, and Mr. Du is willing to toss the short mountains on both sides, so it will not hinder us."

"Okay," shopkeeper Chen didn't know that Boss Lu said this to comfort him. Although the Lu family didn't build on the short hills on both sides before, but now the short hills belong to others. It's like sleeping next to a stranger. , The rice is mixed with sand, so it won't be affected much, but it always makes people feel depressed.What's more, the stranger and the sand have no good intentions, and they can violently hurt people or knock out their big teeth at any time.

But now there is really no good way, so I can only do this first.

"Go back and tell Xiaomi not to get too angry. I'll write to Kyoto and ask my brother Xin. Maybe he can find a way."

"Okay, let's go back first, Uncle Chen."

Boss Lu bowed to shopkeeper Chen's family, and finally called Liu Xiaodao who was waiting for tea and went back to the mountain together.

Mrs. Zheng endured and endured, and still kicked out the maidservant, and said in a low voice, "Old man, you said that the Lu family offended Master Sui, and in the future in the border of Anzhou...wouldn't it be difficult for us to move an inch? If our Yuexian married... "

"What do you want to say?" Shopkeeper Chen rarely glared at his wife, his expression somber and frightening.

Mrs. Zheng quickly swallowed the words brought to her lips, but she felt aggrieved after all, "I'm not also afraid that my daughter will suffer in the future, so I'm just asking for nothing."
