Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist

Li Mo and Song Dashan stayed in the captain's mansion for another night. Early the next morning, they packed their things and prepared to go home.

It was so serious when they were arrested that day. Meizi and the two children were probably scared to death. They didn’t go home for these two days. They didn’t hear from them, so I don’t know how to worry about it. I can’t stay any longer, I must go earlier. go back.

Song Dashan drove the donkey cart that came when he came, carrying Li Mo, and hurried back home, and behind him, Sima Haoran followed with a team of people.

Li Mo guessed that this was going to trouble the county magistrate. Sure enough, after arriving in the town, Sima Haoran took the people directly to the county office, leaving Song Dashan to wait for his news.

Song Dashan and Sima Haoran agreed and drove Li Mo back home in a donkey cart.

With the courtyard door open, Song Dashan drove the donkey cart back to the courtyard.

Presumably, he heard the sound in the courtyard. Meizi was the first to rush out. When she saw Li Mo and Song Dashan, her eyes widened and burst into tears, and she cried out in disbelief, "Brother , Sister-in-law, it is you, you are back!"

Little Treasure, who ran out of Meizi, didn't say anything, but rushed to Li Mo like a small cannonball, clung to Li Mo's leg tightly, and choked up, "Mother, mother, mother... "

Xiaobao shouted over and over again to make Li Mo's tears flow out. He hurriedly took Xiaobao into his arms and kissed his face to comfort him, "Little treasure, mother and father are back, it’s all right, don’t be afraid That's it."

But Xiao Bao still hugged Li Mo's neck tightly, as if he was about to lose it in the next second.

Li Mo's heart is so sad, this time, it really scared the child.

Meizi and Tiezi also ran to the front with the little tree in their arms, both of them looked haggard.

Meizi looked at Li Mo and then at Song Dashan. She was sure that they had come back in good condition. Her voice trembled and said, "Sister-in-law, you really came back safely! We can't find you. If you don't come back, we really don't know what to do. What to do, we are all going crazy!"

Song Dashan patted Meizi and Tiezi on the shoulders, "It's okay, we are back, nothing will happen in the future, don't worry." He said, leading a few people into the house, "Go, let's enter the house. Say it again."

A few people entered the house and sat around the table. At this time, Song Dashan recounted the events of the past two days.

The children didn't understand, but Meizi and Tiezi were ups and downs.

After Song Dashan finished speaking, Meizi slapped the table off the table with anger, "This magistrate is really too bad. If my brother hadn't known the newly appointed captain, this time our family would have been harmed."

Tiezi blamed himself very much, "This time we really scared us to death. I blamed me for not being at home at the time. Otherwise, my brother would not be hurt so badly, and my sister-in-law would not be taken away so easily."

Li Mo said: "Okay, okay, don't blame yourself. This time is a blessing in misfortune. The most important thing is that the family is peacefully together. Don't say anything. At noon, we will cook a few dishes to celebrate. Now, it's a relief to our family."

Meizi stood up immediately, "That's the reason, I'm going to prepare the dishes, sister-in-law, you and your brother have a good rest, and Tiezi and I will come. We must celebrate at noon today."

Meizi and Tiezi went to prepare food later, Li Mo only then asked Song Dashan about Sima Haoran, "Dashan, how does Sima plan to deal with the county? He should not have the right to move the county, if he does. , Will it cause trouble for Sima?"

It stands to reason that this matter is not a big mistake for the magistrate. It is estimated to be a small mistake that is not worth mentioning from the people above. Even if it is reported to the court, it will not attract any punishment. Even if it is punished, Li Mo was not in charge of the captain either, Li Mo was afraid that Sima's forcible supervision of this matter would cause him trouble.

Song Dashan took Li Mo's hand and said, "If this matter is handled by the public, it is indeed not a major event, and the prefects will not receive any punishment. However, Sima's family background is not ordinary. The senior official who can control our life and death, but for Sima, it couldn’t be easier to rectify him. Sima didn’t intend to do anything to the county magistrate today, just to scare him. The real punishment is later." He smiled Shen Shen, "The magistrate doesn't want to be promoted in this life, and don't even think about being here in front of his comfortable parents. At that time, there will be a good place for him to go, I am afraid that he will not be able to do so. His prestige."

Listening to Song Dashan's words, Li Mo could roughly guess what Sima was going to do to the magistrate, but he only felt sick.

As a result, it wasn't long after a family had eaten that Sima Haoran came with his men and horses. What is even more surprising is that the magistrate also followed and was thrown into the house by Sima Haoran with the collar.

Before the county magistrate stood firm, he immediately knelt down with a "puff", and before Li Mo and Song Dashan could react, he slammed his head severely.

"Song Xianggong, Song Niangzi, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault, I'm in vain as a parent official, please forgive me a lot, adults, I am willing to compensate you."

Li Mo was a little dazed, and he couldn't react to the sudden appearance of the people who had bullied them arrogantly before. A dignified account of the parents, even the ordinary people like them kneel down and kowtow to admit their mistakes in the slightest. This is how they were frightened.

Looking at the magistrate who was still kneeling on the ground, and then at Sima Haoran, who was drinking tea leisurely by the side, Li Mo realized for the first time the great benefits of power and status under the ancient feudal system.

This is the right and this is the status. In front of people who are more powerful than you, you have to lay down, you have to lay down your dignity, and you have to be at the mercy of others. Before, they were the lowest level. When faced with the power of the magistrate, they could only yield and could only be hurt. But in the face of higher power, those who hurt them also had to bow their heads and were powerless.

This is the cruel feudal system.

After allowing the county magistrate to repent and admit his mistake for a while, Sima Haoran said, "Okay, don't kneel. Kneeling can't make up for the harm you have caused to the people. Get up."

The county magistrate looked at Sima Haoran in fear, and stood up tremblingly after hearing the words, "Yes, yes, what the adults said is that I will make up for my fault. This is my compensation to Song Xianggong's family." He took out a stack of silver bills and handed them to Song Dashan tremblingly, "Song Xianggong, I blamed me for being confused for a while, so I did this wrong thing and made you and your wife suffer. This is what I gave you. Compensation, you must accept it."

Li Mo looked at the stack of silver bills in front of him, and carefully looked at it curiously. This was the first time she came here to see what a bank note looked like. There was an amount on it, and each bank note was 100 taels.

This money is too much. For ordinary farmers, all the savings of a family are at most tens of taels. Seeing so many bank notes at once is really a big shock, but Li Mo sees it in modern times. There is a lot of money left, so there is nothing special about it.

Song Dashan looked at the bank note that the magistrate insisted on handing over, but did not accept it, but looked at Sima Haoran.

This money is really too much. Even if you have to compensate, you don’t need so much. The medical expenses plus other compensations are at most twenty taels. If you receive so much money from the county magistrate, it feels like you are accepting bribes from him. Can Sima punish this magistrate again?

As if knowing Song Dashan’s concerns, Sima Haoran smiled and said, "Dashan, this is the compensation you deserve. You were beaten so badly by his people, and your sister-in-law was also injured. Take a good rest, shouldn’t the magistrate compensate for this loss? Are you correct, the magistrate?"

The sweat on the magistrate’s face went down, and there was no time to wipe it off, so he nodded like garlic, “Yes, yes, I should compensate, and must be compensated. Please accept the money. If I don’t accept it, I have trouble sleeping and eating.”

"This..." Song Dashan looked at Li Mo.

Li Mo is not a Virgin. The whole family was scared for half their lives this time. Song Dashan was beaten all over, and within a few months, she didn’t want to raise her body. She hated this county in her heart. It is impossible to refuse the so-called compensation, which should have been given to their family.

But Li Mo knew that the real punishment was yet to come. Sima Haoran wanted to give the magistrate the greatest punishment. There would be no good fruits behind the magistrate. Therefore, the hatred in her heart could be calmed down. There is no such thing as taking money to dispel hatred, so this compensation should be taken, but she will only take the compensation that she deserves.

According to the modern compensation law, the medical expenses plus the nutrition expenses plus the lost work expenses plus the mental loss expenses of the family does not exceed one hundred taels, and they only need to accept a silver ticket.

Li Mo said to Song Dashan: "Dashan, this compensation is what we deserve, but we don't need so much, just accept one."

Song Dashan fully supported Li Mo. He really only accepted one bank note and said to the county magistrate: "We deserve this money. You can take it back if it is too much. We can't bear it."

"This..." Seeing that Song Dashan refused to accept it, the county magistrate immediately looked at Sima Haoran in fear, not understanding what to do now.

Sima Haoran looked at Li Mo, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and nodded to the magistrate, "Since my brother and sister-in-law only accept so much, you can take back the rest."

The county magistrate heard Sima Haoran say this, he sighed with relief and took back the remaining bank notes. It was estimated that the matter was almost over. He looked at Sima Haoran with expectation and flattered: "My lord, this matter is over Right? I won't be held accountable anymore, right?"

Sima Haoran raised his eyelids and glanced at the prefect, smiled vaguely, and waved his hand, "You don't need to stay here anymore, go back, I will make my own arrangements later."

The magistrate did not get a clear answer, and was uneasy, and couldn't help asking: "This... my lord..."

Sima Haoran's eyebrows sharpened, and he stared straight at the county magistrate. He shuddered in fright. He didn't dare to say more, and immediately turned around and ran away.

It wasn't until the county magistrate disappeared that Song Dashan sat down with a smile and patted Sima Haoran on the shoulder, "Sima, you really helped a lot in this matter, thank you."

Li Mo also gave a blessing to Sima Haoran, "Sima, thank you, we are grateful."

Seeing that my brother and sister-in-law expressed their gratitude, Meizi and Tiezi also hurriedly followed to thank them.

Sima Haoran frowned and said impatiently: "Don't come to this set, I'm the most annoyed with this set. If you still do this, I will be angry."

Song Dashan understood Sima Haoran’s temper, and said with a smile: "Okay, I don’t want to thank you, but if you come here, we have nothing to entertain you. You can stay and have a meal. When you come to my house, whatever. I can’t skip a meal."

Sima Haoran nodded happily this time, "Okay, of course you can eat."

Li Mo heard the words and immediately recruited Tiezi, "Tiezi, you will also drive the car, you go to town now, buy some meat, buy two more fish, and come back with a few large jars of wine by the way. The meat is more, the adult’s How many people want to eat too."

Tiezi nodded, "Sister-in-law, I know, don't worry if you leave it to me."

Tiezi went to town, Li Mo asked Song Dashan to take Sima Haoran to the flower garden behind to talk by the way, while she took Meizi to Aunt Zhao’s house, borrowed insufficient tables, chairs, and chopsticks, and asked Sister Lanhua to come over. Help, there are a lot of people at night, so I have to cook two tables.

When I went to Aunt Zhao’s house, the Zhao family naturally greeted Li Mo. The whole village knew what happened that day, but they didn’t know what was going on. Some people speculated that Li Mo’s family had offended the big man.

The Zhao family also worried for several days.

Li Mo explained as simple as possible, only to get out of danger with the help of the nobles, but did not clearly state the identity of Sima Haoran.

Aunt Zhao learned that Li Mo and Song Dashan were okay, so she had to entertain the distinguished guests tonight, so she naturally gave her all her help, took out all the good dishes and chopsticks at home, asked Zhao Changbang to send the tables and chairs directly, and asked her two daughters-in-law to help .

With the help of the two sister-in-laws, the work was very busy, and the sumptuous meals on the two tables were cleaned up before it got dark.

The Li Mo family sat at a table with Sima Haoran, and Sima Haoran's subordinates sat at a table.

Song Dashan filled Sima Haoran with wine, "Brother, don't thank you for your great kindness, I respect you for this bowl of wine!" He raised his head and drank it.

Sima Haoran laughed, and then raised his head to drink a bowl, "Okay, happy! When we were in the barracks, we used to drink with such big bowls."

Song Dashan laughed, and then poured wine for Sima Haoran, "Then we will have a good drink today, not drunk or return."

"Okay, don't get drunk or return."

At the end of the meal, Song Dashan and Sima Haoran blushed and were very happy.

Li Mo originally wanted to stay with them for one night, but Sima Haoran shook his head and refused, "Tomorrow there will be official duties. It is not easy to delay. I have to rush back to the city tonight. Thank you for your kindness. I will come again when I have time. Have a good drink with Dashan."

After speaking, I hugged Song Dashan and told him to go to the city next time.

Li Mo didn't hold back, and together with Song Dashan sent Sima Haoran out of the village. In the darkness, watching a group of people leave the village, they gradually disappeared from his vision.
