Last night, Mei Kang went to see Liu Xiniang again when no one was around, and asked Liu Xiniang to leave the silver that the Liu family got from Li Xun.

Originally, he discussed with Liu Xi's mother and son, and asked the Liu family to ask Li Xun and Mei Qingqian for forty taels of silver, and then took out twenty taels of silver to ask Chen Daochang to help, and gave the Liu family a bad breath, and the remaining twenty taels of silver were divided in half by them.

When Mei Kang and Liu Xi said one hundred taels of dowry, they said that no matter how much they wanted, they would each share half of it, so the two of them greedily wanted to ask for more.

And now Liu Xiniang is also involved, and the goal of the three of them has changed from making money to taking revenge on Mei Qingqian and Li Xun.

Last night, the old man of the Deng family and Lu Qi failed to return to Liu Xi, and Liu Xiniang was heartbroken, for fear that her son would not come back alive.

Mei Kang rushed to her and asked her for silver, saying, "The silver will be earned later, but if you don't give Chen Daochang enough silver, he won't help." As long as something happens to the Li family, everyone knows that they are monsters, and Liu Xi's business is controlled by the demon law, who can lock him up at that time? ”

Although Liu Xiniang was reluctant, in order to save her son and kill Mei Qingqian, she handed over all the money to Mei Kang.

So Mei Kang went to the town to find Chen Daochang and gave him the silver.

"Daochang Chen, it's up to you today, my brother was caught by them when he went to put something away last night." Mecom smiled flatteringly.

"Don't worry, I'm the one who said yes, since I received your money, I will definitely get things done." Chen Daochang looked down on Mei Kang, a clay-legged scholar who had no reputation at all, and his expression was exceptionally high.

The two were afraid that they would miss out on the investigation with the imperial court, so they hurried towards Maple Village.

When he arrived near the entrance of the village, Daochang Chen first found a place to hide, and said to Mei Kang: "You go in first, and I will move when the officials enter the village." Remember to pretend that you don't know me, and don't speak for me, lest you spoil a big deal. ”

"Yes, yes." Mekang arrived, and immediately entered the village.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw that the village chief was walking towards the entrance of the village with a few elders, Mei Kang was startled, fortunately Chen Daochang didn't get too close, otherwise they would have seen it.

"Mei Kang, where have you been?" Zhang Ping'an asked worriedly.

He was afraid that Mei Kang would run out to gamble again, and if he was bumped into by someone from the imperial court, he would definitely think that their Maple Village was not in a proper manner.

"I went to send a message to the town's foreigners, not thinking that there was something big in our village, so I hurried back to see if I could help." Mecom is still quite good at talking.

After hearing this, Wang Qi said to the village chief: "He has read books, maybe he can think of good words." ”

"What words do you need to think of? Message? "Mei Kang is in a very good mood at this time, and he is also very enthusiastic.

"No, I heard that officials will ask the origin of the name of the village, and there is no special story in our village." Zhang Ping'an pondered for a long time but didn't figure it out.

Mei Kang had a little ink in his stomach, and his eyes rolled and said: "Far up the cold mountain stone path, there is a family in Baiyunsheng." Parking sits in love with the maple forest in the evening, and the frost leaves are red in February. ”

"After all, I have read a book, and when I hear it, it is a good poem." Wang Qi Lao boasted.

Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but nod, anyway, he couldn't make poetry.

"This is a poem by the female official Bai Ruozhu a hundred years ago, I heard that she is a person of the northwest generation, we can say that she has come to our village, so I feel this poem." Mecom said.

The elders said yes one after another and praised Mei Kang.

ps: You read that right, this is Du Mu's "Mountain Walk" that Bai Ruozhu casually said a hundred years ago, Bai Ruozhu borrowed it from the ancients when he wrote poems.
