Mao Bowen told the current situation of the clansmen according to Mao Wenlong's instructions. In fact, in the past, the people of the Mao family had a very nourishing life, especially Mao Wenlong, who took care of the clansmen.

Every year, he will order people to send a lot of money and grain back, and he sticks to Houjin in Liaodong, he can always get a lot of good things, and Mao Wenlong will also send some back every year. Things are dead things at home, and some people surnamed Mao think of turning these things sent from Liaodong into money and food.

Therefore, the people surnamed Mao later began to do business, and with the support of Mao Wenlong, the goods in Liaodong were not worried at all, and the business was doing well. The waist pole of the people surnamed Mao is tough, and it is also a time of scenery in the local area, and no one can reach it!

However. After Mao Wenlong's accident, the people surnamed Mao fell directly from heaven to hell. It is nothing to go from poor to rich, but once you change from rich to poor, this is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The surprise from all directions soon caused the business of the Mao clan to plummet, and it didn't take long for the previous savings to be consumed. The goods sent by Liaodong were also out of stock at the same time, and the business went out of business directly.

Without the pillar of Mao Wenlong, the people surnamed Mao began to become more and more unpopular in the local area. In the past, those merchants and the government who flattered themselves in every possible way are now even more down.

Fields, Wealth! In short, anything that can be taken away has been robbed by others, and the people surnamed Mao have no choice but to move to other places. However, the chaos everywhere in the field is obviously not the best policy, in the local may still be able to survive, if you go to a war-torn place, the loss of wealth is small, and the clan may be exterminated in minutes.

Speaking of this, Mao Bowen sighed lightly: "Alas, although the clansmen have not reached the point of starving their stomachs now, they can't raise their heads in the local area. Anyone can come to humiliate, see what we have, grab it if you want, and let it go! ”

"Won't you report to the police?" Mao Wenlong frowned.

"Report to the Officer...... Hehe......"

Mao Bowen's laughter was full of deep hatred: "If you don't report to the official, there may not be so many things, that is, because our clan went to report to the official after being bullied at the beginning, so we provoked the biggest robber of the official family." ”

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the officials are still eyeing you, and they can't steal things clearly? Mao Wenlong was a little angry when he heard this.

"The young master doesn't know, those officials often take the initiative to come over to show us when we are powerful. But once we were out of use, they began to demand more and more to get back the thoughts they had put on us. It is already common to rob money and food, and what is even more hateful is that they still rob people. Mao Bowen's eyes shone with hatred.

"Grab people...... What are they robbing people for? Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised, it was easy to say that this government wanted money and food. There doesn't seem to be any benefit to be gained from robbing people!

"The government first arrested the strong men in our clan and worked for the court for free, and later, there were really no strong men in the clan, so they began to arrest women. It's better to be a slave and a servant, and some of the people who have a little posture have been arrested and sold themselves, these damn officials are even more robbers than robbers! There are only women, children, old and weak people left in our clan now, less than sixty people, young master, how can our clan go on and perish! ”

When Mao Bowen said this, he suddenly got up and knelt in front of Mao Wenlong, and then cried with old tears.

The sound of sad cries echoed in the room, and Mao Wenlong listened angrily. He has already figured it out, even if the people surnamed Mao in front of him are not his blood relatives. can be the same surname Mao, here is the ancient Ming Dynasty, it is not good to say that this is his ancestor.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong has regarded Mao Bowen and them as his family, and now that he knows that his ancestors are living so miserably, Mao Wenlong has no reason not to be angry.

"Smack......

Mao Wenlong suddenly slapped his palm on the wooden table, making a loud noise, and he said fiercely: "Don't worry, God let me not die, and the hard days of our Mao family have come to an end." No matter who dares to bully my clansmen again, I, Mao Wenlong, cut off his head first. ”

The sonorous and powerful voice of assurance suddenly relieved Mao Bowen who was crying, he stopped crying, kowtowed to Mao Wenlong and pleaded: "Young master, please lend a hand to save the clansmen." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't hesitate at all, he stepped forward to help Mao Bowen up, and said firmly: "Don't worry, third uncle, although I have lost my memory, I won't let my people go." ”

"Also, where are our people now?" Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

Hearing Mao Wenlong ask about this, Mao Bowen's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment. But he quickly hid it, and he also figured it out, as long as Mao Wenlong was willing to save his people from fire and water, he would have nothing to ask for.

Mao Bowen obviously accepted Mao Wenlong from his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Our clan still lives in our hometown in Qiantang County, Zhejiang, but the mansion, the fields and everything have been occupied by those dog officials. We can only make a thatched cottage in the middle of nowhere, and make our home for the time being. ”

The people surnamed Mao actually have some foundation, and they don't really have nothing. Otherwise, Mao Bowen would not have been able to open an unexpected store here in Xi'an, but even if the clansmen still have some money, they dare not show it in front of people at all, otherwise they will be snatched up every minute, and maybe someone will take their lives for this.

Mao Wenlong and Mao Bowen talked in the study all afternoon, and when it was time for dinner, he left Mao Bowen to dine together in the house, and by the way, he told Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan all these things.

The reaction of the second daughter after learning about it was beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations, and the two seemed to have difficulty talking, and they were deeply worried in their hearts. For this reason, Mao Wenlong felt inexplicable, he finally got together with his clansmen, shouldn't he be happy for himself? Why are both of them looking sad.

That night, Mao Wenlong left his second daughter behind and said directly: "What are you worried about in your hearts, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it?" ”

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan glanced at each other, and the latter nodded and threw an encouraging look at Chen Lan. Chen Lan hesitated for a moment, took a sharp breath and plucked up the courage to say, "Xianggong, do you know that your wife is not alive?" ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Wife ......"

Chen Lan said with a bitter face: "Yes, if your wife is still alive, we don't know what to do in the future?" ”

At this moment, not only did Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan feel that they didn't know what to do in the future, but Mao Wenlong was also awakened.

"Damn, isn't that unpleasant for yourself?" Mao Wenlong couldn't wait to pump his two big mouths.
