Towards the end of the night, Master Zhan and his head dangling in confusion got up and woke up hungry. Seeing Xiao Xiancheng next to him was still asleep there, a long line of saliva dripped down, and he gently pushed him until He woke him up and said, "Brother Buyong, get up, eat something and go back to sleep. I haven't done anything today."
Xiao Xiancheng opened his dim eyes and looked around. Then he remembered that he and Master Zhan slept directly in the room. Thinking of what the two of them did before going to bed, he felt angry and said to Master Zhan. :
"Today's things can't just leave it alone. When the time comes, we will get back together with revenge, go, eat out with me, and not go to Jinlailou. Why should he make money?"
Master Zhan also got into the fire, nodded, followed behind and left the room. When the two came to the entrance of the Yamen, they saw their family members waiting anxiously there.
As soon as the family saw the two of them coming out, they ran to the front and started to cry. The two crying were inexplicable.
"What's the matter? Speak slowly, what's anxious? Is there something I can't solve in Huayuan County?" Xiao Xiancheng asked his new concubine two months ago.
"Master, it's not good, our family's money is all gone, Master, what can we do?" The little concubine said sobbing there.
"Why is the money gone? Where is it? Isn't there money outside? You usually eat some profit, don't you want to get it back once again?" Xiao Xiancheng said again.
"Master, there is no money anymore. The money outside is not ours anymore. A notice was posted in the yamen saying that someone slandered Master and Master Zhan’s private printing of money. There is no such thing at all. All the money released by Master Zhan’s name does not need to be repaid, sir, our family is out of money."
The concubine finally made the matter clear this time, and the family of Zhan's master book over there happened to say it at this time.
"Ah... ah... ah..." Xiao Xiancheng yelled loudly when he heard the news, one louder than one loudly. Zhan's master book opened his mouth without saying a word, his eyes straightened. Looking into the distance.
"Master, what's the matter with you, sir, don't be like this, your concubine is afraid, sir, you can think of a way, you can't watch our family have no money, sir, you are just saying something."
Xiao Xiancheng's concubine was frightened when he saw the master yelling constantly there. She grabbed Xiao Xiancheng's shoulder with both hands and shook it vigorously.
Master Zhan’s family members have experience. Seeing the appearance of Master Zhan, they immediately slapped him down, awakening Master Zhan from the stupefaction just now.
"I fight with him, he dared to do this." After Zhan master book woke up, he immediately rushed inside the yamen, trying to find Zhang Zhong desperately, so the guards at the door naturally couldn't let him in. One of them lifted his leg and kicked Master Zhan there, saying:
"Master Zhan, you have to think clearly, did you release the money or did you not release it? What can you say if it is not released? If it is released, then you..." Needless to say, the following words are also clear.
Master Zhan just remembered that this matter can't be told to the public. It's not just that the money is gone, it's easy that the clothes are also gone, and he will go to jail if he doesn't get it right.
I was taken aback for a moment, and learned the way his family treats him. I gave Xiao Xiancheng a mouth in the past. Xiao Xiancheng stopped shouting after being hit. He touched his face with his hand, opened his mouth and gasped for a while, and closed his eyes. I stopped moving, and waited for a full quarter of an hour, then he was relieved, and said:
"Brother Xiangyun has recognized this time. Who made us have a handle to grab his hand? From now on, this handle is gone. Isn’t it just some money? Yes, it was not easy to change to before, but now it’s easy, um, right now There is, it seems we underestimated him."
"Isn't it? You guys, I'm all to blame. If I don't say it, then nothing will happen." Master Zhan felt that he had said something wrong.
Xiao Xiancheng doesn’t think so, "Brother Xiangyun, even if you don’t say it, can’t he still ask? Just a little bit of inquiries, we will miss the money issue. I didn’t expect that there will be today. I thought it was based on identity. , Those people who borrowed the money didn't dare to ignore it, but they didn't think that it was this identity that made them stop paying it back.
Don't you dare to care if they ask for money? Then he just had an excuse. This time he didn't submit the matter directly, because he was afraid that we wouldn't admit it then. He would just wait for us to ask for money. He definitely couldn't give him this opportunity. "
"Yes, don't give him a chance, let's think about it, don't rush, just take it easy, this time I underestimated him, and I won't be able to do it in the future, so how can I find those merchants first?"
Master Zhan also thought about it clearly, and said next to him, but when he thought that his money was gone, his face couldn't get better.
When the two of them were going to find the merchant, the subordinates who stayed in their home and watched the merchant came over and told them both that those men had gone for a stroll by the river today and were planning to live at the pier and would not return.
When the two people heard the news, they were not surprised, but rather happy. Master Zhan said, "Brother you, as long as they still think about the land over there, they will have to give us money at that time, and this money cannot be less. It’s gone, it’s gone just now, and it’s not here again."
Xiao Xiancheng thought the same way, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, that person's place is not good, and you have to think of a way, such as the century-old ginseng? By then, we won't have to bear the responsibility."
The two people who were in a good mood did not feel sleepy, and led the family members who came over to eat together, and laughed twice along the way.
…
When the evening came, the sun slowly fell like an egg yolk. There were no clouds in the western sky, only a few tireless birds singing and flying by.
A few couples of trucks specially used to pull trucks were walking slowly on the potholes. You can already see the rising smoke in front of you, the wheels of the cars rolling by, and there are traces on the ground, and there are also black coals on the surface. Leave the mark of a rut.
The driver looked up, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted to the others: "Hurry up, we can go back when we get to the place. If it doesn't work, we will sleep there for a night."
As he shouted, the speed of the team increased again. Some people in the villages over there saw people coming here, some ran back to call people, and some came to ask.
The people who ran to the front looked at these cars and asked, "Did they give us food and other things?"
"Yes, Tian Gouzi has already told you? These things are for you, enough for you to eat for a month, and someone will come to you to do things in a few days. Your journey is really difficult. I'm leaving, I have to fix it."
The leader on the side agreed, and complained about the way, ready to go back and talk to the master's house. If you are interested in this place, you must fix the road first. Otherwise, it would be too delay for things to come and go.
"It needs to be repaired. Waiting for us to earn money, we will find a way to repair it." The man was a little embarrassed to say that there is no way, the village is too poor.
The leader here drove the car forward, and said, “You don’t need to pay for it, just put some effort into it. Our master will take care of this, and our master is your county magistrate.”
"Yes, I know, adults are easy to take care of. Who would take care of us before? Last time, the Wen county magistrate had someone come over to grab him, but we were beaten away. Now the adults won’t be anymore. When we arrive in our village, let’s just Carry it all the way."
This person in the village kept talking good things. He came from his heart. The magistrate said that he would give things to them, and they really sent them. With these foods, there is no need to eat the hard-to-swallow things. Wild vegetables and elm money.
Tian Gouzi brought the lads from the village and rushed out. When he got closer, he pushed and pulled forward, and walked for another quarter of an hour before he arrived in the village. At this time, all the cooking people in the village stopped. After coming down, all the young and old men and women gathered there and waited.
Yesterday Tian Gouzi came back and said that many of them still didn't believe it. Now that they saw these things being delivered, all of them were filled with cheerful smiles.
The village of Yushu Village was an old man, holding a stick in his hand, waiting for the things to be delivered, and when he began to unload them, the old man spoke first.
"Don't move, just listen to me." After shouting these two sentences, he coughed up there, and after a while he was relieved, looking at the people in the village who looked at them motionlessly and said: "Hua Yuan The county has changed to a new magistrate, ah, this magistrate gave our village something first, and then let us work.
Don’t think that work can be worthy of this kindness. Even if you do work, you will have to rush forward if the magistrate has something to do. No one will be foolish to send things first, and then let you work. Master Ling can't bear to watch our village have no food.
When the magistrate sent us something, he must have not figured out what we should do. If anyone doesn’t think that he’s eating his food in exchange for his own work, I’ll beat him to death with this stick. Did you hear it all? "
The villagers listened quietly, until the old man finished speaking, and then shouted in unison: "I heard it."
"Work, make something delicious, and leave these people who give us things to eat. I will live in the village tonight. They are all benefactors."
The old man waved the stick in his hand and coughed again there. A little boy came and beat his back. Those who could do the work began to unload. Bags of rice noodles were unloaded, and buckets of oil were also removed. After taking it down, the person in charge of cooking first came over to get some meat and oil, and went back to the house to get busy.
The whole village was full of laughter from little children, and there were some people waiting to eat talking about the sounds of their previous lives.
