Chapter 023: Suspicious
"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.
"Gongzi Qin saved his mother's life, you'd better be polite to her!" Mrs. Li left one last sentence 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 that she thinks you have a ghost in your heart." 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 indignantly: "Big brother, you are really too kind, this kid has mixed into the cottage, 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? ”
“**!” Mu Qingge said lightly, "You'd better not move casually, this is 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 have **, why don't you use it when you're down the mountain? ”
Mu Qingge looked at Huang Liang and smiled without saying a word, Huang Liang became more and more frightened, and wanted to say something only to find that he couldn't move at all, and soon he 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 want to save Qin Gongzi, he saved his mother, we can't attack 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, and if he angers the government, our cottage will be unsafe." 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, they will 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, you are the pillar of the family, what you have to do is to find a way to solve the problem, not to say something sad 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. Now that he is robbed by a teenage child, the other party is still his benefactor, and he can't do anything to him. Most importantly, this kid is telling the truth!
