Chapter 173
"You say, Huang Liang is from the government?" Mu Qingge was also taken aback, isn't it too incredible that the people of the government are so blatantly in the cottage?
"Yes, at that time, Lao Li and the others robbed an official master, and the county master was angry and wanted to encircle and suppress our Shiguangzhai. Where are the brothers in the stockade who are the opponents of the officers and soldiers? Just when everyone was at a loss, Huangliang came. He said that the county magistrate knows that our cottage has always helped the poor and the weak, and he is compassionate. said that he wanted to encircle and suppress, but it was just for the sake of the official's face. If we are willing to cooperate with the government, the cottage can naturally be preserved. The county magistrate is so hearted, we naturally choose to cooperate with the government. Mrs. Li was a little emotional, and it seemed that she was still grateful to the government.
"So, how exactly do you cooperate with the government? You have cooperated with the government, and Huang Liang has always been the only one who has come forward? When Mu Qingge heard this, he felt even more suspicious about the origin of this yellow sorghum.
"Huang Liang is indeed from the government, and he has the certificate of the government. The specific way of cooperation is that the cottage pays money to the government every year, and the government does not attack the cottage. Huang Liang stayed in the cottage to assist Lao Li in managing the cottage, or to monitor. "Mrs. Li is a smart person, as soon as Mu Qingge's question came out, she understood what she wanted to know.
"Bang" Before Mu Qingge could speak, the door was pushed open again, this time with great force.
It was Huang Liang and Li Huan who came.
"What is my sister-in-law doing here?" Huang Liang stared at Mrs. Li, obviously unhappy.
"I'm just here to ask Gongzi Qin how to take my mother's medicine. What does the second brother mean by asking? Doubt me? Or should I report to my second brother first about everything? Mrs. Li did not show weakness and asked back.
Huang Liang's face became even more ugly, and he barely squeezed out a smile: "Sister-in-law misunderstood, the younger brother has no other meaning." It's just that this kid has a ghost in his heart, and his sister-in-law is a kind person, so I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be deceived. ”
"I think the second brother thinks I'm stupid, so I'm so deceitful, right?" Mrs. Li snorted softly.
Huang Liang looked at Li Huan with a cold face, Li Huan hurriedly came out to play a round and comforted both sides.
"Qin Gongzi saved his mother's life. You'd better be polite to her! Mrs. Li left one last word and left.
"Boy, tell me honestly, what did my sister-in-law tell you?" Huang Liang grabbed Mu Qingge's neck and asked sharply.
Mrs. Li said. She thinks you have a bad idea. Mu Qingge did not hesitate to return Huang Liang's evaluation of himself, and he was not impatient at all.
"You ......"
Huang Liang used his hand hard, but was stopped by Li Huan: "Second brother, can't you still trust the eldest brother and sister-in-law?" Why bother to be like a child? ”
Li Huan withdrew his hand angrily: "Big brother, you are really too kind." This kid has slipped into the cottage and is obviously ......"
Mu Qingge suddenly raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of powder on the yellow sorghum.
Huang Liang was startled and said angrily: "What are you doing? What is this? ”
"Poison/Medicine!" Mu Qingge said lightly, "You'd better not move casually, this poison and medicine are not simple." ”
Huang Liang was already sweating on his forehead, but he could still try to keep his composure: "Do you think I'll be afraid of you being scared?" If you're poisoned/drugged, why don't you use it when you're down the mountain? ”
Mu Qingge looked at Huang Liang and smiled silently, Huang Liang became more and more frightened, and wanted to say something only to find that he couldn't move at all. Soon it was soft to the ground.
"Brother Li, don't worry." Mu Qingge looked at Li Huan, who had already pulled out the knife, "He just got drugged." ”
"You, what do you mean?" Li Huan was still holding a knife in his hand, but he didn't cut at Mu Qingge in the end.
"Go down, all of you." Mrs. Li's voice sounded at the door, "The owner of the village and the second master are here, what else are you worried about?" They have important things to talk about. ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Mrs. Li pushed open the door and came in, and she was not surprised to see the yellow sorghum lying on the ground.
"What's going on with you guys?" Li Huan looked at Mrs. Li and then at Mu Qingge, confused.
"I just wanted to save Qin Gongzi, he saved his mother. We can't do anything to him. Although we are grass cowards, we can't take revenge. Mrs. Li looked at her husband and said seriously.
"I didn't want to embarrass Gongzi Qin, but after all, the second brother is from the government. If we anger the government, our cottage will not be protected. Li Huan was a little anxious, Huang Liang was not someone who could be offended casually.
"Brother Li may need to check on this 'official' person." Mu Qingge said, "First of all, officials and bandits are two opposing parties, even if there is collusion in private. I would never dare to do it so blatantly. and put your own people in the cottage, isn't this leaving a handle for you? Secondly, have you ever met the county master? All the money you paid was given to this yellow sorghum, right? If the county magistrate really let you go because he sympathized with you for helping the poor and the weak, how could he ask you to pay the money? ”
"However, Huang Liang does have the certificate of the government in his hand." Mrs. Li said that she didn't want to hurt Mu Qingge, but she was also afraid of Huang Liang's identity.
"The credentials of the government? I remember, Madame said that the one that Brother Li robbed when he got into trouble was an official master, right? Mu Qingge chuckled.
Li Huan was still a little stunned, but Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, could it be that incident was a conspiracy from the beginning?
"Thank you Gongzi Qin for mentioning it, I understand." Mrs. Li made a big salute again, and Huang Liang really needs to investigate it properly.
"I'm just saying that, the specific things are still very troublesome, you have to be careful to deal with them." Mu Qingge looked at Mrs. Li, thought for a while, and said, "I remember, you said that you were helpless at the beginning. Ever thought about changing careers? After all, what you have done is not a glorious thing, even if you have never harmed the innocent, your parents, wives and children do not have a good reputation on their backs. Besides, you have not harmed the innocent. ”
The latter sentence was said to Li Huan, Li Huan can become the master of a village, and he is not a stupid person. From the conversation between Mu Qingge and Mrs. Li just now, he had already figured out the problem on Huang Liang. He spent a lot of time with Huang Liang and understood Huang Liang's ambition better, so he also believed Mu Qingge's speculation. At this time, when he heard Mu Qingge say this, his face turned red, but he was not angry, but said a little depressed: "I also know this, but the government wants to arrest us, and we people have no other skills, and we have to support our wives and children, how can we live?" ”
"You are a man, the breadwinner of the family. What you have to do is find a way to solve the problem, not say something frustrating to make your wife and children worry! This is the act of a coward! Mu Qingge said unceremoniously.
Li Huan's face turned blue and white for a while, as the big boss of the cottage, he has always said the same. is now robbed by a teenager. It's just that the other party is still his benefactor, and he can't do anything to him. Most importantly, this kid is telling the truth!
"Gongzi Qin, Lao Li is also a last resort......" Mrs. Li was a little worried, of course she knew that Mu Qingge was for their good. But Li Huan is her husband after all, and she has always respected Li Huan. Even if she fell to this step, she never complained about him. Now that she heard what Mu Qingge said, she couldn't help but want to defend Li Huan.
"I naturally know that he has no choice, but who in this world does not have a last resort?" Mu Qingge looked at Mrs. Li, took out a book from the small box he was carrying and handed it to her, "I've seen it, the terrain of this Shiguang Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's a great place indeed. Moreover, the environment here is also good, and there are many precious herbs on the mountain. I've got a book here, so I'll give it to you, maybe it's useful. ”
Mrs. Li is really literate, and when she took the book, she saw that it was an introduction to the identification, usage, and cultivation techniques of some medicinal materials. Thinking of what Mu Qingge said just now that the environment on the mountain is good and there are many precious medicinal materials, Mrs. Li somewhat understood the meaning of Mu Qingge's gift of this book.
"Thank you, Master Qin." Mrs. Li bowed again, except for thanks. She really didn't know what else to say.
"Qin Gongzi, we originally had bad intentions towards you, but you not only saved my mother's life, but also gave us things. We're ...... Please accept my worship. Although Li Huan didn't know what the book Mu Qingge sent was for. But seeing his mother's reaction, he also knew that it was very useful, so he also gave Mu Qingge a big salute.
Mu Qingge avoided Li Huan's salute and said, "Save your mother, just to save yourself." The reason for giving the book is because I fell in love with my wife, and I have no kindness to you, Brother Li. You don't have to. If you really figure it out, remember my words and be kind to your sister-in-law. ”
"I figured it out, and in the future, I will find things to do seriously, and I will no longer do these murderous things." Li Huan hurriedly said, but frowned again, "No, there is still a group of people to solve." ”
Mu Qingge frowned, and Mrs. Li said unhappily, "Didn't you say it all?" Why are you still like this? ”
"Madame, have you forgotten the group of people who came to the capital a few days ago? We want to kill those five people. Li Huan looked at Mu Qingge, but still didn't shy away.
From the capital? Kill five people? Mu Qingge's heart moved, now that the weather is hot, there are not many people in a hurry. Shang Qirui and his party, exactly five, met them on the road. She really couldn't understand why Shang Qirui would abandon the waterway and go by land, if she had known, she should have taken the waterway, otherwise where would she have to endure all this hardship here?
"The five people you're talking about, but three young people, one middle-aged and one old? They rode horses and hurried in the direction of Wucheng? Mu Qingge couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, exactly. Qin Gongzi, how do you know? Are you, friends? Li Huan asked in surprise.
"I can't talk about it, but I still have to advise you." Mu Qingge shook his head, "Those few people, just one, is enough to solve all of you." If you are not absolutely sure, it is better not to do so. Of course, if you are sure, it is better not to make a move. Because if something happens to them, you will probably be killed by the Nine Clans, and none of them will want to run away. ”
"This, this, those people...... Isn't it an ordinary businessman......" Li Huan and his wife glanced at each other, both frightened.
They didn't doubt Mu Qingge's words now, so they had doubts about the identities of those people.
"Of course, you can disobey me." Mu Qingge said seriously, "However, I want to ask you for one thing. ”
"What's the matter, Qin Gongzi, just tell me, we will definitely do it." This change is a bit fast, Li Huan is still stunned, and Mrs. Li is busy.
"If you are really sure to kill them, please don't embarrass the oldest old man, he is my master." Mu Qingge saluted Li Huan and Mrs. Li.
Li Huan and his wife were completely stunned this time, what was going on? Earlier, he said that he couldn't even talk about his friends, but now he said that he had his own master in it.
"Qin Gongzi, don't worry, your master, we will definitely not be embarrassed." It was Mrs. Li who reacted quickly.
"Thank you both of you." Mu Qingge looked outside, "It's not early, don't you know if I can go?" My friend is still waiting at the bottom of the mountain, in case something happens. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll send my son down the mountain right away." Li Huan also came back to his senses and personally sent Mu Qingge down the mountain. Mrs. Li also said goodbye to Mu Qingge with tears.
All the way to the mountain, Li Huan wanted to ask the identity of the group, but he never dared to ask.
When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Xia Yi couldn't wait, and was in conflict with the fat man.
"Stop! Stop it! Stop! Li Huan shouted loudly, and ran over to stop the fat man who was about to draw a knife.
"Cousin!"
Xia Yi and Su Mu Poria hurriedly ran over to check on Mu Qingge and saw that she was not injured, so they put their minds at ease.
Li Huan brought the fat man over again, and thanked Mu Qingge repeatedly and apologized.
Although Xia Yi and the others were unhappy, fortunately, there was no damage, knowing that the other party was a bandit after all, and it was not easy to offend in this situation, so they did it.
When the fat man heard that Mu Qingge had saved Aunt Li, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Eldest brother's mother is my mother, son, you saved my mother, you are my benefactor." In the future, if the son wants to have something, he will come to me, and I will definitely go, go to ...... I am not afraid of going up and down the mountain and going down to the oil pot. ”
Mu Qingge was a little funny and a little moved, and personally helped the fat man: "You are a man." However, it is my duty to save people, and you don't have to do that...... It's getting late, so you'd better go back first. ”
Li Huan heard this, and hurriedly pulled the fat man away.
"Thank you so much for this time, Gongzi Qin." Mrs. Zhuang and Mr. Zhuang came over to thank them. Mrs. Zhuang's expression was still a little guilty. Obviously, it was their money that caused trouble, but they asked Mu Qingge to go to the cottage alone, but this also showed that Mu Qingge's medical skills were really good, and Mrs. Zhuang was still very happy.
After a night of tossing, it was already dark. Everyone couldn't rest on the road, so they packed up and went on the road again.
"I'm really sorry for Gongzi Qin today." Mrs. Zhuang said to herself ashamedly.
"Hmph." Master Zhuang snorted coldly and did not speak.
"What? Are you still suspicious of Qin Gongzi? Mrs. Zhuang frowned and asked unhappily.
"Where is it so coincidental? In the middle of the night, he met a robber, and the robber's family happened to have a sick person, and the kid easily saved the person who couldn't be cured by any doctor. Don't you think coincidence is too much? Master Zhuang also said with a calm face.
"Didn't that person ask for anything? If it was really all arranged by Qin Gongzi, what did he want? Besides, people don't want to hurry, but you have to hurry. How did he know, how could it be arranged in advance? ”
This is their cleverness, and it must have seen that I was already suspicious in my heart, so they pretended to stay and lead me away. As for what they are drawing, I think it's a lot more than you think. After returning to Wucheng, I must report to the official to suppress the bandits. ”
"I think you're stunned." Mrs. Zhuang shook her head and sighed, "Anyway, I believe in Gongzi Qin." (To be continued.) )
