Madam is right

Chapter 124
"Who told you the method you mentioned yesterday?" Mo Changjian asked as soon as he came up.

It turned out to be this!

"Who told me what? I figured it out myself!" Mo Zhichu looked at his old father frankly, making Mo Changjian feel a little ashamed.

"Cough... this is a good idea. The emperor agrees. I will discuss it with the villagers tomorrow."

Hearing this, Mo Zhichu was of course also very happy. A small shrimp of hers could solve the sufferings of the common people. She would never have dared to think about it before crossing over.

It's just that Mo Zhichu's expression of holding back his words made Mo Changjian pretend not to see it even if he wanted to.

"what do you want to say?"

"Daddy, this matter is resolved, but the misunderstanding between the villagers and Grandma Hong hasn't been resolved yet..."

This is also a problem...

The villagers still believe that it was Hong Po who raised the prices without authorization and profited from it. They have not forgiven the village chief and his wife, let alone their contributions to the village over the years.

Just thinking about it made Mo Zhichu feel uncomfortable.

Just at this time, Shen Hongbo came. As soon as he entered the door, he said that he had a way to solve the misunderstanding between the villagers and the red lady.

Mo Changjian was always worried about this simple-minded lieutenant general, but no matter how he asked, Shen Hongbo was determined not to tell Mo Changjian what method he was going to use to solve this matter.

Although Shen Hongbo didn't say anything, he issued a military order in front of Mo Changjian very imposingly, promising that when he went to Yanghai Village to negotiate an agreement tomorrow, the general would see the result.

There is no way, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, Mo Changjian can only let him go.

On the third day, when Mo Changjian was about to leave for Yanghai Village, Mo Zhichu dragged him to act like a baby, asking him to take her with him.

"You can go, no nonsense!" Mo Changjian had no choice but to agree.

Seeing Mo Zhichu nodding his head like garlic, Mo Changjian was helpless.

In the end, there were still two big ones and one small one, and Mo Changjian brought Mo Zhichu and Shen Hongbo to the three-day appointment.

When Mo Changjian and Shen Hongbo arrived, they saw that the villagers who gathered three days ago had gathered together consciously, as if they were waiting for the general's answer.

This made Mo Changjian inexplicably nervous.

Facing these villagers is different from those recruits.After all, if the recruits are disobedient, a beating is enough, but the common people can't be beaten.

The villagers who were still making noise immediately fell silent when they saw Mo Changjian approaching.

Finally, under Mo Zhichu's urging, Mo Changjian stood in front of the villagers of Yanghai Village.

Mo Changjian cleared his throat nervously: "Cough... folks, today we are here to solve the problem, so I hope everyone can treat this matter calmly. In fact, there is something hidden in this matter. The folks don’t know. Folks, don’t worry too…”

However, it is clear that the folks are anxious.

"General, if you have anything to say, just say it! Didn't you tell everyone an explanation?! We'll just wait for you to say something!"

Mo Changjian was also used to leading troops, and when he saw someone interrupting in the middle, he couldn't help but lose his temper.

"Okay! I'll give you an explanation! The explanation is that Xu Hong'an and his wife didn't feel sorry for you at all! Your problems will be resolved by the imperial court! Are you satisfied now?!"

Mo Changjian's sudden temper also stunned the villagers for a moment.

However, the villagers soon realized the meaning of Mo Changjian's words.

Even some villagers stood up excitedly, pointed at Mo Changjian and scolded: "What are you talking about! I know that you officials are not good at anything! Aren't you just protecting Xu Hong'an!"

"That's right! It's a shame we believed you were a good person back then!"

"..."

The villagers were chattering, but Mo Changjian didn't expect that it was Xu Renyi who came out to stop the villagers at this time.

I saw Xu Renyi frowning deeply, sitting in the crowd as motionless as a mountain, and shouted: "Okay! Listen to the general first!"

At this time, the villagers gradually calmed down and sat back down again.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Mo Changjian began to tell what the village head Xu Hong'an and Hong Po had done over the years.

After the narration, there was another long silence.

The originally excited villagers obviously didn't expect that there was such a layer of things that they didn't know about.

But obviously some villagers would rather believe that this was a story Mo Changjian made up to deceive them.

"You're talking nonsense! If what you said is true, then why didn't Hong Po teach other girls her skill of delivering babies with one hand!"

After a while, Hong Po came out from the side, and said with red eyes: "Midbirth is a skill that requires patience and experience, but look around the village, where is there anyone who is willing to learn from me?"

Hong Po asked this question, and the villagers all fell silent.

In the early days, there were indeed girls who wanted to learn midwifery from Hongpo.

But it was the first time for the girl's family to see the process of giving birth. How many of them could persist until the end?

Those who came to study mostly ran away before a child was born, and the rest who could wait until the child was born were also scared away after seeing their mothers separating the placenta.

In this way, how can the red woman safely leave this matter to other people?

"Okay! Even so! It's been more than ten years since we moved down to the foot of the mountain, and we haven't raised the price for more than ten years. Why did it suddenly go up?! Do you dare to say that Xu Hongan and his wife are not lying?!"

Mo Changjiang was about to say something, but Shen Hongbo stretched out his hand to hold him back.

Seeing that Mo Changjian was silent, the villagers began to speculate about conspiracy theories.

In the end, when Mo Changjian couldn't bear it anymore, Hong Po had wiped away her tears several times, but the person who stood up to speak was the one who took the lead in discussing the explanation.

I saw Xu Renyi, who had been sitting peacefully like a mountain, stood up abruptly at this moment: "Stop talking! What the general said is true!"

"Xu Renyi! Have you been bribed too?! We don't believe you!" shouted a villager.

"I went to the capital yesterday!"

With just one sentence from Xu Renyi, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

So, he continued: "Yesterday afternoon, Commander Shen came to look for me, and quickly sent me to the capital. What the general said is true. For the price we are buying at Hongpo's stall now, I can't afford it when we arrive in Beijing. In the middle, even a fraction is not enough!
Do you guys know what this means?This means that the rest of the money was posted by Hong Po and the village chief herself! "

As soon as Xu Renyi finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.

Seeing this, Mo Changjian stepped out at the right time: "The imperial court also knows that everyone's life is difficult. Back then, the imperial court seized everyone's residence for military training. The imperial court did not consider it properly. I, Mo Changjian, am here to apologize to the villagers. Already!"

After finishing speaking, Mo Changjian bowed deeply in front of the villagers.
