Although the mutton slaughtered in Xue Mansion was already cold, it was still bright red, and Da Biao lifted dozens of catties of mutton with one hand, "It's really fresh, fresh and fat." Li Xiao told him, "Just the big fat sheep just slaughtered today, take advantage of the freshness, Uncle Biao, you have worked hard to chop the mutton, we will eat mutton hot pot tonight!" ”

"What's a hot pot?" Uncle Biao stared at the mutton in his hand and asked a little confused.

"Hot pot, that's a good thing, it's the coolest thing to eat hot pot mutton in the cold winter." Although millet porridge is healthy, to be honest, Li Xiao has no oil and water in his stomach now, and no matter how much he eats millet porridge, he still has to have some real oil and water.

The people in the Zhuangzi all came out to help carry things.

The pork and mutton, chicken, duck, fish, rice, flour, grain, oil and wine on the car looked at everyone in surprise.

Mr. Zhao came over on crutches under the help of Wan Niang, "Where did these things come from?" ”

Li Xiao handed the two big white ducks that were still croaking to the pillar, and replied with a smile, "I met a noble person today, not only gave us cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, rice, flour, grain and oil, but also a bigger good thing." ”

Zhao Lushi, who came with him, handed over his hand, "Tell the villagers a good news, Zhang Papi, that country bully, was punished by the government, and the Liuxian County Order took special care of it to avenge the Li family, and the eight hundred usury was exempted, and in addition, the Li family's mansion was returned to the Li family immediately." ”

Wan Niang's tears flowed down all of a sudden.

"Saburo, is this true?"

Li Xiao nodded, "What Zhao Lushi said is right, it's all true, we met a noble person this time." Everyone unloaded the contents of the car, and we went back to take back the house. ”

Mr. Zhao was on a ramp.

"What are you waiting for, let's go now."

Xue Wu also smiled, "Yes, let's go collect the house first." ”

Seeing everyone's anxious looks, Li Xiao agreed with a smile.

Zhao Lu led the way, and he was also followed by several county officials, Li Xiao and Wanniang, Li Zhen, followed by Quan Zhuangzi's people.

Everyone is mighty.

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Zhen's face was flushed and excited. In the past, the notoriety of the Zhang family's father and son made her afraid, and she wanted to tremble when she heard the name, but now the Zhang family has finally crossed.

Li Xiao briefly said Xue Wu's identity.

"I didn't expect this Xue Wulang to be the son of a general in the DPRK, what a good person."

"Our Li family ancestors have accumulated virtue and done good deeds from generation to generation, which is also a good reward for good people."

The Zhang family used to be a lawless overlord in Lanxi Township, but no matter how powerful the overlord was, he couldn't fight the government.

Zhao Lushi is just a small county record, a rogue official who doesn't even have a grade, but at this time, he is holding an official document stamped with the county order seal, commanding a few white straights, but the Zhang family at the gate of the Li Mansion compound does not dare to stop it.

After some recitation, Zhao Lushi, a member of the Zhang family, brought the Li family over to take the Zhang family's house away.

"Virtuous nephew, this Li Mansion is now considered to have returned to its original owner. Uncle I have already ordered, the Zhang family in the house immediately went out of the house, except for the clothes on the body, not a single grass or tree is allowed to be brought out, from now on, everything in this house belongs to the Li family. ”

Zhao Lushi smiled and said to Li Xiao, he is also sending a favor. The house has been occupied by the Zhang family for several years, and there are also a lot of money and belongings of the Zhang family stored in it, and now he says a word, and everything in it will be owned by the Li family.

Anyway, the Zhang family is finished, and he won't lose anything if he gives favors to the Zhang family. Even if he accepted Zhang Papi's daughter as a concubine, so what, a concubine, not a wife. Li Xiao is different now, I don't know what shit luck he took, he actually caught up with the Xue clan in Hedong, the right leader of the army, this is a real celebrity in the DPRK.

Not to mention, his boss's boss, Liu Xianling, is still a relative of the Xue family, and the Li family is hugging his thighs, so he has to find a way to take the initiative to have a good relationship with the Li family and resolve old grievances.

"Thank you Zhao Lushi." The benefits of being sent to the door, Li Xiao has no reason to refuse, anyway, the Zhang family has embezzled so much of the Li family's property, which can be regarded as recovering some interest first.

Standing at the gate of Li's house, Li Xiao took a closer look at the house for the first time.

said that it was a big house, but in fact, it was only compared to the houses of the people in the countryside of Lanxi, and the Li family's mansion was not very big, that is, it was equivalent to a second-entry courtyard.

The whole house is divided into two layers, which is equivalent to a longitudinal expansion on the basis of a courtyard, and a partition wall is added between the south gables of the east and west wings, which is divided into two layers. There are two doors at the closure of the partition wall for entry and exit.

Generally speaking, the yard is not large, the width of the east and west is not more than five zhang, the width of the north and south is not more than ten zhang, and the area of about 500 square meters is less than 500 square meters.

There is no hand-copied verandah, and it is not made of bricks, the whole house is made of loess, and the top is covered with tiles.

In Li Xiao's opinion, this house is ordinary and very old.

But judging from his experience during his time in Datang, this is indeed a mansion in the countryside. In those days, it would be nice for the average tenant farmer to have one thatched hut to settle in, while it would be good for a yeoman farmer to have three thatched huts.

The people who can build rammed earth houses with yards are definitely rich peasants and small landlords.

But if the house has a yard and the roof can be covered with tiles, it is not a small landlord. As for those who can build houses with bricks, they are basically a noble family.

"Our Li family's mansion is also a century-old mansion, with seven rooms in the north room, three main rooms, two ear rooms on both sides, and three positive and four ears. There is also a wing room on the south side of the east and west wings! ”

Mr. Zhao also lived in the Li family compound for several years and was very familiar with this mansion.

Although the Li family's mansion is not very eye-catching, there are many rooms, such as the north room, the south room, the wing room, the ear room, etc., adding up to more than a dozen, enough to live dozens of people.

"Take off the plaque of the Zhang family." Li Xiao glanced at the plaque that was still hanging high on the door.

Zhao Lushi hurriedly said, "It's our negligence, you hurry up and take off the plaque, light the fire and burn it at the door, just let San Lang cross the fire and enter the door, go to the bad luck first!" ”

The plaque was taken off and thrown at the door, and someone brought wheat straw to start a fire.

The flames ignited, and the plaque of the Zhang family was engulfed in flames.

It's finally back!

The ancestral cemetery of the Li family has been saved, and now the ancestral house is coming back, and the debt of 800 yuan that was pressed on everyone's heads is gone.

Even if the other industries of the Li family can't be taken back for a while, at least there is no need to worry and panic as before.

"Wan Niang, third sister, let's go home."

"Go home!" Zhao Wan and Li Zhen were on the left and right, one holding Li Xiao's arm, with tears in their eyes, but a smile on their faces.

"Go home!"

The Zhang family in the house had already been driven out, and at this time, they were all panicked, standing at the door like lost dogs, lowering their heads, looking at the Li family who had been driven out by them, and striding into the house in front of them one by one.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, feng shui takes turns, but this day has changed too fast!
