Chapter 125: The death of my father-in-law
Mo Xiaofei thought in his heart that he was considering Baiqu County, that was because half of Wuluo Mountain was already in Baiqu County, and now when he heard that the government wanted to share half of the profits, Mo Xiaofei scolded in his heart, Lu Renyi, who do you think you are, if you want to swallow half of it, beware of bursting your stomach.
Mo Xiaofei had already thought before coming to Chengzhou Mansion that if this matter did not go well, he would never compromise and retreat, Wuluo Mountain was related to his first pot of gold in the Great Qing Dynasty, and it might affect his future development.
When Mo Xiaofei was silent in the room, he suddenly said, "My lord, let's distribute the profits according to what the lower officials said, the government will collect taxes and silver, if the adults insist on sharing fifty percent of the profits, then please forgive the officials for being unreasonable, this matter has to be reported to the governor's yamen, and let the governor take the place of the officials." ”
Gu Feng's back was cold, what was Mo Xiaofei talking about, his courage was getting bigger and bigger, although he was not Lu Renyi's person, but after all, he was on an errand under Lu Renyi, and the prefect offended the prefect, can Wuxian have good fruits to eat in the future.
Lu Renyi's opinion of Mo Xiaofei was already very big, and he failed to succeed in the trick several times, but today is good, Mo Xiaofei shouted arrogantly in front of him.
Lu Renyi couldn't allow the prestige of his prefect to be damaged, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground, splashing not far from Mo Xiaofei's feet.
"Presumptuous!"
Lu Renyi said angrily, "Mo Xiaofei! Don't think you can do whatever you want with the Governor's backing! If you invite the Governor to Wuxian County, I will invite the Governor to come!" ”
Lu Renyi thought that Mo Xiaofei had something to do with Zuo Yingquan, but later he must have ordered someone to secretly investigate, maybe Zuo Yingquan noticed something, once when the two met, Zuo Yingquan told Lu Renyi that for Mo Xiaofei, he could do what he should do, and he didn't have to worry about anything.
"Your Excellency, please."
Mo Xiaofei spread out his hands, with a look of whatever you want, Lu Renyi's request was very excessive, even if Mo Xiaofei didn't do a hot spring inn, he couldn't let Lu Renyi share the benefits.
Mo Xiaofei flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Gu Feng is considered to have a long insight, Mo Xiaofei is not a normal person, judging by the etiquette and mind of ordinary people, he will never guess what Mo Xiaofei will do next and what he will say.
Gu Feng still admired Mo Xiaofei a lot, and asked himself, he would never dare to have such words and deeds.
Everything is based on the mean, Gu Feng's ability to grasp the principles is very strong, since he and Mo Xiaofei have such a big disagreement, they have not torn their faces.
Lu Renyi looked at Mo Xiaofei's departure coldly, and patted Gu Feng's shoulder after the most reluctance, "Lord Gu, this government intends to hand over all the ownership of Wuluo Mountain to Baiqu County, if it can be done, the government and Baiqu County will divide the account." ”
Gu Feng thought about it, this is very good, even if Baiqu County invites a merchant to participate, the last thing is to divide the account with five or three two, which is much better than Mo Xiaofei's proposal.
Gu Feng said, "Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your success." ”
Lu Renyi smiled knowingly and said, "Master Gu, Mo Xiaofei wants to find the governor's support, you have to stand on my side, hehe." ”
Lu Renyi secretly said in his heart, Mo Xiaofei, Mo Xiaofei, Gu Feng is also Wang Liancheng's person, who do you say Wang Liancheng will help after the most ruthless.
Lu Renyi is not worried about this matter at all, even if Wang Liancheng chooses to help Mo Xiaofei, he can also let Zuo Yingquan come out to uphold justice.
Mo Xiaofei walked leisurely on the streets of Chengzhou Mansion, first bought some high-quality fabrics, and then counted them door to door, "No. 85, No. 86, No. 87 Donghulu Street, here, here." ”
This is the place where Du Bangyue lived, Mo Xiaofei stepped forward and patted the door panel.
"Is Uncle Li at home?"
The door panel creaked open, and it was a cute little girl, with two ponytails on her shoulders left and right, poking out her little head, "Are you looking for my father?" I don't know you, do you? My dad said that he wasn't at home and strangers couldn't let him in. ”
Mo Xiaofei hadn't said anything yet, and the other party had already turned him away thousands of miles away.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Girl, you are Uncle Li's daughter, I am Uncle Li's family of a very good brother, I am not a bad person, can I go into the house and wait for Uncle Li, big brother can buy you sugar gourds to eat." ”
The little girl's eyes became alert, and she said, "My father said that strangers buying things for themselves must have bad intentions, they must be bad people!" ”
With a snap, the little girl closed the door.
Mo Xiaofei shook his head and smiled bitterly, in this world, even children have become so shrewd, but they are too arbitrary, and they are not bad people.
Mo Xiaofei didn't even have a chance to explain, so he closed the door.
It's useless to knock on the door again, Mo Xiaofei thinks that this girl must have heard her father tell the story of "the little rabbit is obedient, open the door", all Mo Xiaofei can do is wait.
Mo Xiaofei thought that the current situation was obviously that only the little girl was at home alone, so her father and mother would definitely go home before dark.
Anyway, Mo Xiaofei had nowhere else to go, so he stood outside the door and waited for an hour, until a middle-aged man came over with his sleeves bare.
"Girl, open the door, Daddy is back."
The middle-aged man's arm was exposed, and Mo Xiaofei clearly saw that the scars and gun marks remained on his arm.
The middle-aged man looked at Mo Xiaofei, and soon the door opened, and the middle-aged man stepped in with his right foot.
Mo Xiaofei hurriedly said, "Dare to ask if it's Uncle Li?" ”
The middle-aged man turned his head, "Who are you?" ”
Mo Xiaofei saluted, "Uncle Li, here is Du Dayong's son-in-law, Mo Xiaofei." ”
The middle-aged man was taken aback, maybe he never expected Du Dayong's family to come to him, he looked left and right, "I am Li Cheng, Du Dayong is my good brother, Mo Xian's nephew, come in." ”
Mo Xiaofei followed in and glanced at the little girl standing by the door.
Mo Xiaofei teased the child, "Little sister, how about my brother buy you sugar gourds to eat." ”
While speaking, Mo Xiaofei looked at the house, there was no sunlight coming in, even during the day, it looked very dim, the tables, chairs and beds were very old, and there was not a single thing that could shine in the whole room, and it was a poor family.
The little girl saw that her father led him in, so she was no longer out of sight at this time, and said lively, "Okay, I want two." ”
Mo Xiaofei took out five taels of broken silver and handed it to the little girl, "Little sister take the money, my brother is not familiar with the neighborhood, I don't know where to buy delicious sugar gourds, you take the silver to buy it yourself, how about it." ”
The little girl had already taken it in her hand, and looked up at her father, "Dad, can I take it." ”
Li Cheng said solemnly, "Give it back to this brother, my father told you that you are not allowed to ask for other people's money, what you want, as long as it is a reasonable request, your father and mother will buy it for you." ”
Mo Xiaofei said with a smile, "Uncle Li, this is a gift from me to your daughter on behalf of the Du family, if you don't accept it, it's not that the silver is too little, if so, I'll add another five taels of silver." ”
Seeing that the other party was very persistent, Li Cheng no longer persuaded each other, and touched his daughter's ponytail, "Don't hurry up Xie Lu Xie brother, put it away, and play while playing." ”
"Brother Xie Xie." With a sweet smile, the little girl happily ran into her hut with the silver in her hand.
"Nephew Moxian, please take a seat."
Li Cheng wiped and wiped a very dirty chair beside him with his own hands, and then asked Mo Xiaofei to sit down.
"Five taels of silver, Mo Xian's nephew is so generous, he was so polite when he first came to Uncle Li's house, if you are like this again, will Uncle Li dare to go to Du's house to sit."
Mo Xiaofei said, "Uncle Li and my father-in-law can be said to be friends of life and death, silver is a foreign thing, Uncle Li doesn't have to be polite to his nephew, this time he took the liberty to disturb, it was really my wife who remembered Uncle Li, so my nephew went to Chengzhou City from Wuxian County to do business, and specially visited Uncle Li." ”
Mo Xiaofei put the high-grade fabric in his hand on the table, "Uncle Li, these are all nephews' thoughts, Uncle Li must accept them, even if Uncle Li doesn't use them, my aunt and sister will definitely use them." ”
"It's such a beautiful flower cloth, Daddy, my mother can make me beautiful clothes, hehe." The girl in the hut poked her head out, looked at the various fabrics on the table, and became happy.
"Go in, adults talk about things, children don't interject."
Li Cheng looked at Mo Xiaofei, "Virtuous nephew, you are both silver and cloth, Uncle Li, I am ashamed, if I had a lot of eyes back then, maybe ......, maybe your father-in-law would not necessarily die, hey." ”
Sighing and shaking his head, Li Cheng's eyes were very confused, as if he had returned to the past.
Mo Xiaofei did not interrupt Li Cheng's memories, and spoke for a long time, "Uncle Li, can you tell me how my father-in-law died in battle, I have only heard Bang Yue mention it, and I have never seen it, but in my opinion, my father-in-law must be a man who stands up to the sky." ”
Li Cheng nodded, "Yes, Du Dayong is indeed a man, he went straight to the enemy camp with the strength of one person and took down the head of the deputy general of Xiaorong State, but the court is corrupt and the Luo army is incompetent, no matter whether it wins or loses, the Great Qing Kingdom has actually been defeated a long time ago, and it has been defeated a long time ago......"
Sure enough, he is extremely brave, it seems that Du Dayong must know some kung fu, Mo Xiaofei is a little proud in his heart, and he is also proud of Du Bangyue.
Mo Xiaofei continued to ask, "My father-in-law is so powerful, he must have met a stronger opponent on the battlefield, right, Uncle Li." ”
Li Cheng smiled bitterly, "Hey, the other party on the battlefield is not terrible, after all, the two armies are fighting, and life and death are safe and sweet, but what is terrible is that your own people stab your own people, which makes people unguardable." ”
Mo Xiaofei heard some clues, and immediately asked, "Uncle Li, you mean, you mean that my father-in-law was killed by his own people!" ”
Li Cheng looked at Mo Xiaofei and did not explain the whole thing.
"Virtuous nephew, there are some things that we ordinary people can't control, things have passed, let him be dusted, sometimes he forgets with kindness, maybe it's a blessing."
Helplessness and helplessness were written on his face, how could Mo Xiaofei not see the distress of Li Cheng when he said this.
There must be grievances and internal feelings in this matter, Mo Xiaofei said, "Uncle Li, what you said is right, but sometimes, even if we know that the truth of the Dao is painful, we want to look for it desperately, do you say yes." ”
