Madam is right

Chapter 120 020. Ask for an explanation
Standing outside the gate of the house, Shen Hongbo looked at Mo Zhichu's bouncing figure, thinking about what Mo Zhichu said just now.

Is this really a five year old?

Bold guess, careful verification?
Although he heard this for the first time, he felt it made sense, and Mo Zhichu did exactly that.

Because I have doubts in my heart, I don't make rash assertions, and carefully explore every clue in it to prove my conjecture.

At this moment, Shen Hongbo remembered what Mo Changjian said about Mo Zhichu's leading troops, and for some reason, he suddenly agreed with him a little bit.

This child is really not easy...

When Hong Po came out of the kitchen, she saw Shen Hongbo standing blankly at the door, wondering what she was thinking.

The red lady stepped forward with a smile and said, "Commander Shen is standing there stupidly at the door, come in quickly, dinner will be served right away!"

Shen Hongbo stared at Hong Po's still smiling face, but felt a little uncomfortable.

After a while, he walked into the gate, thinking that he hoped it wasn't what he thought.

As soon as Mo Zhichu entered the main house, he threw himself into Mo Changjian's arms. Like a monkey, he clasped his old father's shoulders and whispered in his ear.

"Daddy, have you sent the silver?"

Mo Changjian was afraid that Mo Zhichu would fall, so he quickly reached out and hugged her down, "You think everyone is like you, it's unreliable to do things."

Mo Changjian asked her to sit on his lap, "Sit well! If you fall down soon, you will be the one who hurts!"

Mo Zhichu stuck out his tongue and sat on the old father's lap.

Not long after, Hong Po came to inform them that dinner was ready.

Under the warm hospitality of Xu Hong'an and Hong Po, today's dinner, although not considered delicacies, was a very sumptuous meal for a rural family.

During the banquet, Xu Hong'an specially took out the old wine brewed by himself to entertain Mo Changjian.

Although Mo Changjian didn't want to drink too much, he couldn't resist the old pedant's persistence, so he finally had to raise his glass to drink with him.

When the wine was happy, Xu Hongan raised his glass and said loudly:

"Yanghai Village can be what it is today, thanks to the general's turnaround, so that the villagers will not sleep in the wild. General benevolence, I respect you!"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

As he was talking, he heard a sudden loud noise from outside the door.

At first, everyone didn't pay attention, but when the sky was getting dark and the torches outside the door illuminated the dimly lit room, everyone realized that something seemed wrong.

Before a few people went out, they heard someone shouting outside the door:

"Xu Hong'an! Your husband and wife are greedy, monopolize the village market, and enrich your own pockets! You two have a conscience?! Today I heard that General Rongwei is here, and we will ask the general to make decisions for the people here!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, many villagers shouted together: "Please, General, be the master for us!"

Mo Changjian glanced at Xu Hong'an who was blushing in astonishment, "Village chief, what's going on?"

Xu Hong'an, who was on the main seat, was not surprised at all. He calmly drank another glass of strong wine, then slowly got up and walked out the door.

Mo Changjian listened to the villagers outside, and it was likely that Xu Hongan had done something to offend everyone, so he felt a little repulsive towards him for no reason.

Xu Hong'an walked slowly to the door, but was stopped by Mo Zhichu on the way.

Mo Zhichu took Xu Hongan's hand, and the child looked at the old village chief with clear eyes.

"Grandpa, if you have any difficulties, why not tell us?"

Mo Zhichu's words not only surprised Xu Hong'an, but also attracted Mo Changjian's attention.

"Chu'er, don't mess around!"

Although I don't know if Mo Zhichu understands something, but in the current situation, Mo Changjian subconsciously stopped her.

Xu Hong'an looked at Mo Zhichu, smiled suddenly, and reached out to touch her head: "The little baby is kind-hearted."

After finishing speaking, the old village chief walked outside the door under the watchful eyes of Mo Changjian and Shen Hongbo.

It's just that no one expected that Mo Zhichu actually followed.

In the end, three adults and one child stood together in front of the villagers.

Seeing that both Xu Hongan and Mo Changjian had come out, an exceptionally tall and strong man among the villagers stepped out immediately.

Xu Hongan looked at the man in front of him, with a slightly bitter tone:
"Xu Renyi, it's rare for the general to come here today. If there's anything wrong, let's talk about it another day!"

The man named Xu Renyi snorted coldly: "Xu Hong'an! What? Are you scared?! Everyone wants to ask for an explanation in front of this court official!"

"That's right!" The villagers behind Xu Renyi agreed.

Mo Changjian didn't know anything about the current situation, but looking at the excited emotions of the villagers, he thought it would be okay if he didn't solve it.

Mo Changjian immediately said: "Folks, I'm here today, let's talk about what's going on, and calm down to solve it."

"Okay! What the folks want today is your words, the general!"

"Well, since that's the case, why don't you tell me what happened first?"

Mo Changjian's question simply opened up the chatterbox of the folks.

The villagers surrounding Xu Hongan's house immediately began to count the crimes committed by the village chief Xu Hongan and Hong Po.

"Ever since we moved to the foot of the mountain, we can't connect to the outside world! We can't sell our crops! How can we survive these days!"

"The red woman is the only stable woman here. She hides her skills and doesn't teach everyone! Just put the money in your pocket!"

"That's right! Dominate the three stalls in the market at the entrance of the village! Over the years, the villagers have earned so much money! Everyone is in trouble now! She is lucky, but raised prices at this juncture!"

"It's just..."

The price increase suddenly became a depth bomb, and immediately aroused everyone's resentment. The villagers at the gate joined in the team of cursing the village chief and his wife.

Many of them spoke viciously, and Mo Changjian couldn't help frowning at what he said.

With the light of the torch, Mo Zhichu looked up at the village head who was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, frowning and listening quietly.Then he turned his head to look at Hong Po, who was sitting in the kitchen silently wiping tears.

Seeing the villagers getting more and more excited, Mo Changjian quickly said, "Okay! Everyone calm down for a while! I understand everyone's meaning."

Mo Changjian thought for a while and said, "Well, if the folks trust me, why don't you send a trustworthy person, and I can discuss with him how to solve this matter?"

After hearing this, the villagers started whispering again.

"Can this general really be trusted?"

"That's right... you are probably in the same group as Xu Hong'an, right?"

"Don't go, don't go, what should I do if I don't know how to die before the time?"

Hearing the increasingly exaggerated speculations of the villagers, Xu Hong'an couldn't help saying: "Then I will go with you! If General Mo has wronged you in any way, I will do whatever you want!"
