"That makes sense!" Shen Yuan nodded and said, "Bing'er, I heard that you are going to let everyone leave the cottage, but is there such a thing?" ”

Shen Manqiu responded: "Yes, father-in-law." This time the matter is too big, and the government intends to plant the blame for us, so I am afraid that it will not give up on it. ”

"That's what I mean, that's what I mean!" Shen Yuan thought so, glanced at Shen Jingbei on the side and said, "Jingbei, you go and gather everyone over." ”

He had already learned from Shen Jingbei what had happened along the way when they went to Qingzhou, and he was even more impressed by the terrifying strength of the Ghost Palace, but unfortunately he didn't see any clues from that calligraphy and painting, plus this injury, it undoubtedly made him determined to dissolve the cottage.

"By the way, Bing'er, what are you going to do with these mountain belongings?" Shen Yuan turned around and asked Shen Manqiu.

Shen Manqiu sighed slightly: "I have already asked someone to calculate all the current belongings on the mountain, there are about more than 10,000 taels of silver, plus nearly 20,000 taels here." ”

She paused slightly, and then said, "Originally, I was worried that there would not be enough money, but now with these, everyone can get a lot of severance pay, which should be enough for them to live a stable life." ”

"Very well, you have a very good arrangement." Shen Yuan nodded very gratifyingly, and said: "Over the past few days, you have taken good care of the cottage, and you are really brave and resourceful, so I am relieved." ”

Recently, a lot of things have happened in the cottage, and the people on the mountain have not gone out, and it didn't take long for all the heads and brains to gather in the hall.

Everyone was overjoyed to see that the big boss was safe and sound, but when they heard him say that he was going to dissolve the cottage and let everyone leave, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"Did I hear me right? Want to dissolve the cottage? ”

"Big boss, is there something wrong?"

"Why is this, everyone is not doing well, we are not easy now, life is getting better day by day, why are we going to disband?"

"Big boss, haven't you fully recovered yet! How can you suddenly let everyone leave the cottage? Many people felt abrupt and puzzled by the decision to disband the cottage, and some people couldn't help but whisper their doubts.

Shen Yuan raised his hands and pressed them, and everyone's voices gradually disappeared, and he raised his voice: "I think everyone should know very well, if it is not cornered, who would be willing to go up the mountain to be a bandit?" Besides, even if we don't care, don't you think about your children and grandchildren, and really have to bear such an infamy for the rest of your life? ”

At first, everyone was unanimous that they didn't want the cottage to be disbanded, but as soon as they said this, some people soon had different ideas.

Shen Manqiu saw that everyone was starting to have disagreements, so he stepped forward and said, "There is no other meaning to let you leave the cottage, it is for everyone's safety." ”

She paused slightly, and then continued: "I know that we have gained a lot in the recent period, but in the same way, we have also offended a lot of people and forces. Just like the government and Black Tiger Mountain were deceived before, and Zhu Chenglin's lair was copied this time, do you say that the people in the government will let us go of Qifeng Mountain? ”

After all these times, Shen Manqiu already has a certain prestige and prestige in Qifeng Mountain, and he is more convinced of her words.

Everyone knew very well that what she said was the truth, but there were still people who said unrelentingly: "Miss, in the past, we didn't deal with the government and Black Tiger Mountain, but what can they do with us?" ”

Immediately, someone responded: "Yes, yes, the Black Tiger Mountain and the government don't want to attack us, but the result is not to return!" ”

"It's not the same as it used to be, if you don't have the same opinion as someone else, you might quarrel with him. But if someone robs most of your wealth, will you fight with him? Shen Manqiu smiled and said, "What's more, the people of Black Tiger Mountain not only set fire to the city, causing the people's resentment to boil, but also robbed the silver taels in the treasury of the county government, do you think such a big thing can be easily covered up?" ”

Huge Yuan said hesitantly: "Isn't that the sin done by the people of Black Tiger Mountain?" What does it have to do with our Qifeng Mountain? ”

"Under the nest, there are no eggs!" Shen Manqiu sighed lightly and said, "Think about it, if you don't hear any wind, do you really think that the county government treasury is made of paper, and the silver is blown by the wind?" It is a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver, once the above is investigated, Heihu Mountain will inevitably be the first to destroy people, and if we don't plan early, we will inevitably burn the jade. ”

When everyone heard this, they all changed color in discoloration.

Xia Ziwen suddenly said: "No wonder, the people of the government let out rumors early in the morning that they wanted to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but the result was that the people from Heihu Mountain were allowed to rob the county government treasury. What's even more strange is that the people in the government know what the people of Heihu Mountain are going to do, but they neither take the opportunity to attack the lair of Heihu Mountain, nor go back to the county seat to kill the people of Heihu Mountain by surprise. ”

"Now I also understand a little bit, Zhu Chenglin deliberately let the people of Heihu Mountain rob the fake silver from the county government treasury, and then swallowed the real silver privately, in order to bring disaster to the east." Among the people, there are also more thoughtful people who have seen through the tricks of the government.

Hou Kaisen laughed and said: "The people in the official mansion are like dogs, and they make the people of Black Tiger Mountain turn around, but they still fall in love with our eldest lady!" ”

"That's it!" Shen Manqiu immediately said: "I have told you the situation now, in a while, we will distribute half of the silver in the cottage warehouse according to everyone's points, and the remaining half will be equally distributed to everyone's heads. ”

Xiaohong next to her whispered: "Miss, everyone is gone, do we still want to stay on the mountain?" She was an orphan and had nowhere else to go, so naturally she followed Shen Manqiu, and couldn't help but start worrying about their future lives.

"Let's go too, or stay here and wait for the government to come to us to settle accounts?" Shen Manqiu chuckled lightly and said, "Even if we can resist the people of Black Tiger Mountain and the government, we can't stop the army of the imperial court, can it be said that you still want to occupy the mountain and become the king?" ”

The reason why everyone is reluctant to leave Qifeng Mountain is that in addition to having some feelings for the cottage, they are more reluctant to live a stable and stable life now. There were still some lucky people before, but when they heard her words at this moment, they couldn't help but be immediately poured a basin of cold water on their heads.

Although they didn't want to leave, no one wanted to put their lives here, and they heard Shen Manqiu say that they wanted to take all the silver and silver in the cottage down, so everyone had nothing to say, at least they had a place to rely on after leaving Qifeng Mountain.

With the orderly distribution of silver to everyone, more and more people left Qifeng Mountain with their families, and gradually those who had relatives and friends in nearby places also left in groups, and when it was dark, only some helpless and lonely people remained on the mountain.
