Chapter 666: The Night Ends
In a secluded manor in the north of Chang'an, in a simple thatched house, oil lamps are kept on all night.
"It's all your fault, Mojia Village treats us well, but you have done such a treacherous thing, now let us hide in Tibet, in such a cold weather, there is not even a thing to protect against the cold." A middle-aged woman complained.
In front of her was the Liu account room who was suffering from Mojia Village, and he didn't have time to get away from the heavy snowfall, but was arranged to hide outside Chang'an City, not to mention the fear, and he lacked food and clothing, and endured hunger and cold.
Liu Shufang rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and said coldly: "In the woman's opinion, how can you, a woman, know how powerful the power of the family is, thinking that the Xu family is vulnerable in front of it, and the Mojia Village will definitely be defeated, how can I sink with it." ”
Liu Shufang is the old man of Xu's firm, and the failure of Xu's firm left a deep shadow in his heart, and at the instigation of well-intentioned people, he took a risk and betrayed Mojia Village.
Liu said sadly: "The shopkeeper Xu is just a businessman, and Mohou is His Majesty's celebrity, and he is the princess of Changle, even if Mojia Village fails, we can follow Mohou without worrying about food and clothing, but if I wait for things to fail, I am afraid that the family will be ruined immediately." ”
Liu Shufang couldn't help but regret it for a while, but when he thought of the huge wealth he had hidden, he couldn't help but be firm in his heart.
"People die for money, birds die for food, so far, what's the use of saying this, when the snow melts, someone will naturally take us away, when the time comes, we have this money, and then find a place to be incognito, what is wrong with a lifetime of glory and wealth, why bother to be a lowly merchant." Liu Shufang said coldly.
"Liu's account room has a good plan, it's a pity!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the house, which suddenly woke Liu Jiaofang from his sweet dream.
"Who is it?" Liu Shufang was suddenly startled, and suddenly said with a shocked face.
"Bang!" The closed door was suddenly slammed open, mixed with the cold wind, and one by one figures wearing army-green cotton coats rushed into the house, instantly controlling everyone in the house.
"You are still trespassing on people's houses, is there still a royal law?" Liu Shufang was pressed to the ground and said in horror.
The leader sneered: "Wang Fa! Liu Jiaofang, your business is committed, and we will arrest you according to the king's law. ”
"It's over!"
When Liu Jiaofang saw the familiar soap coat in the cotton coat, his heart was suddenly cold, he didn't expect that he was hiding so hidden, and he was found so quickly.
At this moment, the whole village seemed to wake up, and the outside was suddenly full of people, and people gathered one by one with torches.
"Cao Zhutou, many villagers outside have come around!" A servant said in horror.
Cao Zhutou snorted coldly and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, they still dare to gather people to rebel? ”
At that moment, Cao Zhutou took off his cotton coat, directly wore a soap coat, stepped out of the snow, held a token in his hand, and said proudly: "Is it possible that Cao Li, the head of Chang'an County, and the Ya of Chang'an County will arrest fugitives, and this is to disobey the imperial court?" ”
Suddenly, the torches outside shook for a while, and an old man with gray hair came over, carefully checked Cao Li's token, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand and made a move, and suddenly the torches were extinguished one by one, and the whole village fell silent.
"Let's go, take the suspect back to Chang'an City."
Cao Li waved his hand, and a group of officials escorted Liu's family and some physical evidence out of the snow, and walked directly towards Chang'an City.
In the south of Chang'an City, the entire Mojia Village is brightly lit, and no one can sleep peacefully.
The situation in Chang'an City naturally spread throughout Mojia Village, and everyone knew that there was no money left in the hands of Moton, and Mojia Village was already in danger.
"Village chief, this is my family's money, you go and transfer it to the young master!" Lao Zhangtou took out a money jar and slammed it in front of Li Yi, only to see that this money jar was full of fresh soil, obviously not long after it was dug out of the ground just now.
"Lao Zhang, you don't need yours! You have a young son who is getting married this year, and this is his bride price. Li Yi looked embarrassed.
Old Zhang Tou laughed and said, "When the young master didn't lead Mojia Village to Chang'an City, who could marry a daughter-in-law?" As long as there is Mojia Village, my old Zhang family will not worry about not having a daughter-in-law, if Mojia Village can't stand it, I'm afraid even if I marry a daughter-in-law, I won't be able to keep it. ”
After Lao Zhangtou finished speaking, many villagers of Mojia Village nodded one after another, and the daughters of other villages competed to marry Mojia Village, that is because Mojia Village is rich, if Mojia Village fails this time, I am afraid that the poverty of the year will be repeated again.
"Oh well! This money will be used by the village first, and when Mojia Village recovers, it will definitely be returned immediately. Now that Mojia Village is at a critical juncture, Li Yi is naturally no longer polite, and immediately took the money, counted them one by one, and recorded them.
After the old man, the next village woman also presented a huge money jar and put it in front of Li Yi.
"Your orphans and widows are not in a good situation, I'm afraid this is all your family's money!" Li Yi looked at the village woman in front of him and said with a wry smile.
The village woman laughed and said: "The old man now has enough granary at home to eat for half a year, and the child does not spend a penny to study in the school, what is the use of this money, if you can help the young master, you can help a little!" ”
Li Yi was immediately moved in his heart, and waved his big hand and said: "The granaries in the village are all open, if your family's grain is finished, just go to the granary to get the grain." ”
"That's nature! The young master can still make the old body hungry! The village woman said unceremoniously.
Subsequently, one by one, the villagers took out their money, and all of them left nothing, just trying to do a little more.
When the money donated by thousands of families was recorded one by one, before you knew it, the east was already white, and the sky was gradually bright.
"Village Chief! Is that enough? After everyone gave the money, they didn't leave, and looked at Li Yi expectantly one by one.
"Enough!"
Li Yi looked at the huge numbers that were counted, and suddenly took a deep breath.
In the past two years, in addition to the need for teenagers to go to school and not participate in labor, almost all of the villagers, both men and women, and children have participated in the work, and they all hold important positions. ”
Suddenly, a group of Mojia villagers immediately cheered.
"Li Yi, thank you very much!" Li Yi stood up and saluted solemnly.
"Village Chief! What are these words, Mojia Village also has a part of us, how can we sit idly by. ”
"My Mojia Village is a household in every village, especially if you have a false reputation, how can you not even get this money!"
………………
The villagers showed a smile on their faces, and at this moment, with a high-pitched rooster crow, the first rays of sunlight in the east sprinkled out, dispelling the dark night shrouded in Mojia Village.
Mojia Village is bright at night!
