Chapter 15: Some Rejoice and Some Grieve: (7th Month, 40th Month)

Chapter 15 Some people rejoice and some people are sad

When it was almost night, Zhan Zhu Bo He was shaking his confused head and woke up hungry, seeing that Xiao Xiancheng next to him was still asleep there, saliva flowed down a long line, and gently pushed him until he woke him up, and said: "Brother Yong, get up, eat something and go back to sleep,."

Xiao Xiancheng opened his hazy eyes, looked around, and then remembered that he and Zhan Zhubo slept directly in the room, thinking of what the two of them did before going to bed, he felt angry, and said to Zhan Zhubo:

"Today's matter can't be just settled like that, when the time comes, let's take revenge and come back, go, go out to eat with me, don't go to Jinlailou, why let him make money."

Zhan Zhubo also had a fire in his belly, nodded, and left the room after him, and when the two of them came to the yamen, they saw that the families of their two families were waiting anxiously there.

As soon as the family saw the two of them coming out, they immediately ran to the front and cried, and the two people who were crying were inexplicable.

"What's the matter, say it slowly, what's the hurry, is there something I can't solve in this Huayuan County?" Xiao Xiancheng asked at the concubine he had newly found two months ago.

"Master, it's not good, our family's money is gone, master, what can I do?" The little concubine said with a sob.

"Why is the money gone? Where is it, isn't there money outside? Usually eat some profits, do you still want to get it back all at once? Xiao Xiancheng said again.

"Master, how can there be money, the money outside is not ours, a notice was posted in the yamen, saying that someone slandered the old man and Zhan Zhubo for privately printing money, there is no such thing at all, all the money released in the name of the old man and Zhan Zhubo does not need to be returned, master, our family has no money."

The concubine finally made things clear this time, and the family of Zhan Zhubo over there also happened to be said at this time.

"Ah~! Yes~! Yes~! When Xiao Xiancheng heard the news, he shouted there one after another, one after another, and Zhan Zhubo opened his mouth there, without saying a word, and his eyes looked straight into the distance.

"Master, what's wrong with you, master, don't be like this, the concubine is afraid, master, you should think of a way, you can't watch our family's money is gone, master, you should say something."

Xiao Xiancheng's concubine was frightened when she saw the old man shouting non-stop, and grabbed Xiao Xiancheng's shoulders with both hands and shook them vigorously.

Zhan Zhubo's family is experienced, and when they saw Zhan Zhubo like this, they directly slapped him, waking Zhan Zhubo from his stunned state just now.

"I fought with him, and he dared to do it." After Zhan Zhubo woke up, he immediately rushed to the yamen, trying to find Zhang Zhong desperately, but the guards guarding the door naturally couldn't let him in, and one of them raised his leg and kicked Zhan Zhubo there, saying:

"Master Zhan, you have to think clearly, did you release the money or not? What do you have to say if you don't? If you let it go, then ...... you? Needless to say, the rest of the sentence is clear.

Zhan Zhubo then remembered that this matter could not be said in the open, not only was the money gone, but it was easy for the clothes to be gone, and if it was not good, he would be imprisoned.

I was stunned for a moment, learning from my family's appearance to myself, and gave Xiao Xiancheng a mouthful in the past, and Xiao Xiancheng, who was beaten, stopped shouting, touched his face with his hand, opened his mouth and gasped vigorously for a while, closed his eyes and didn't move, and waited for a full half an hour, then he came to his senses and said:

"Brother Xiangyun recognized it this time, who let us have a handle to catch him, now this handle is gone, isn't it just some money, yes, it was not easy to change it before, but now it is simple, well, there will be it soon, it seems that we underestimated him."

"But isn't it, no brother, it's all my fault, if I don't say it, won't there be nothing." Zhan Zhubo felt that he had said the wrong thing.

Xiao Xiancheng didn't think so, "Brother Xiangyun, even if you don't say it, can't he still ask?" As long as I inquired a little, we leaked the money, I didn't expect that there would be today, thinking that relying on identity, those who borrowed money didn't dare to ignore it, but they couldn't think that it was this identity that allowed them not to pay it back.

Do you and I dare to care about them asking for money again? Then he just had an excuse, this time he didn't directly present the matter, because he was afraid that we wouldn't admit it at that time, he would wait for us to ask for money, and he would definitely not give him this opportunity. ”

"Yes, don't give him a chance, let's think about it, don't rush, take your time, this time I underestimated him, and I won't do it in the future, so how do I go to those businessmen first?"

Zhan Zhubo also thought clearly, and said beside him, but when he thought that his money was gone, his face couldn't get better.

When the two men were about to go to the merchant, the servants who had been left in their house to watch the merchant came and told the two of them that they had gone to the river to-day, and were going to stay at the wharf, and would not return.

When the two of them heard the news, not only were they not surprised, but they were happy, and Zhan Zhubo said: "Brother Yong, as long as they are still thinking about the land over there, they will have to give us money when the time comes, and this money will not be missing. ”

Xiao Xiancheng also thought so, and nodded slightly, "Indeed, that person's place is not good, and he has to think of a way, such as the hundred-year-old ginseng?" At that time, this responsibility will not have to be borne by us. ”

The two people who were in a good mood didn't feel sleepy, and led their family members to eat together, laughing twice from time to time along the way.

As evening came, the sun slowly set down like an egg yolk, and there were no clouds in the western sky, except for the tireless chirping of birds.

A few taels of trucks specially used to pull trucks slowly moved forward on the potholed road, and the smoke could already be seen rising in front of them, the wheels of the cars rolled over, and there were traces on the ground, and the marks of ruts were also left on the black coal surface.

The person who drove the car looked up, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to the others: "Hurry up, we can go back when we get to the place, it's really not good, just sleep there for the night." ”

With his shouting, the speed of the team was a little faster, and some people in the village over there saw the people coming here, some ran back to call for people, and some came to inquire.

The man who ran to the front looked at the carts and asked, "Did you send us food and other things?" ”

"Yes, Tian Gouzi has already told you, right? These things are sent to you, enough for you to eat for a month, and in a few days someone will come to you to do things, your road is too difficult to walk, you have to repair. ”

The leader on the side agreed, complained about the road, and prepared to go back and talk to the master's house, if he liked this place, he had to repair the road first, otherwise it would be too much of a delay to come and go.

"It's going to be repaired, and when we get paid for our work, we'll find a way to fix it." The man was a little embarrassed to be said, there was no way, the village was too poor.

The leader here drove the car forward and said: "You don't need to pay, just make some effort when the time comes, our lord is in charge, and our lord is your county order." ”

"Yes, I know, adults are easy to manage, who would take care of us here before, last time the Wenxian order asked people to come and rob it, but we beat it away, and now the adults will not be there, when we get to our village, we will carry it all the way."

This person in the village kept saying good things, he was from the heart, the county magistrate said to send something, and he really sent it, with these foods, there was no need to eat the unpalatable wild vegetables and elm money.

Tian Gouzi rushed out with the young men of the village at this time, and when he came closer, he pushed and pulled, and began to move forward, and walked for half an hour before he reached the village, and the people who cooked in the village at this time stopped, and all the men and women gathered there to wait.

Yesterday, Tian Gouzi came back and said that many of them still didn't believe it, and now they saw these things being sent, and their faces were filled with cheerful smiles.

The village of Elm Village was an old man, with a stick in his hand, waiting for the things to be delivered, and when he began to unload them, the old man spoke first.

"Don't move, listen to me." After shouting these two sentences, he coughed there, and after a while, he regained his strength, looked at the people in the village who were looking at him motionlessly, and said: "Huayuan County has changed to a new county order, ah, this county order has sent things to our village first, and then let us work."

You don't think that you can get this kindness by working, even if you do the work, if the county magistrate has something to do in the future, you have to rush forward, no one will be stupid to send things first, and then let you work, the county magistrate can't bear to watch our village can't eat.

When the county magistrate brought us something, he must have not thought about what to let us do, and if anyone doesn't think that he has earned this food by his own work, I will beat him to death with this stick, old man, have you heard it? ”

The villagers listened quietly until the old man finished speaking, and then they shouted in unison, "I hear." ”

"Work, make something delicious, leave these people who send us things to eat, and live in the village tonight, they are all benefactors."

The old man waved the stick in his hand, and coughed again, and a little baby came to beat his back, and those who could work began to unload things, bags of rice and noodles were unloaded, and buckets of oil were also carried down, and the person in charge of cooking first came to get some meat and oil, and went back to the house to get busy.

The whole village was filled with the laughter of the little babies, and there were some people waiting to eat talking about the voices of the old days.
