Chapter 418: Changing the Antidote
Xiao Mohan knows the Mu family well, he was able to become close friends with Mu Tianyue at the beginning, and there was also a coincidence, if the Mu family was just a mercenary mercenary, he would never support Mu Tianyue to be the president of the Lianzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the Mu family would not have been prosperous and grown up to this day.
Qian Qianqian is not interested in the history of the Mu family, it is nothing more than the hard work of several generations, and she does not forget to repay the court after earning enough silver, she has heard too much of this kind of story, so she didn't stay long, turned around and left.
After waiting for two days, the weather is good, the sun is also hot, although there is still a slight coolness in the wind, but under the sunshine, it is nothing at all, the weeds on the side of the road have sprouted, after the cold winter, the capital is full of vitality.
It would be nice if it could continue to be so peaceful, but some people are obstructing it, always wanting to get something that does not belong to them, and provoking again and again, making people outside panic, and the people are obviously not as relaxed as before.
Qian Qianqian followed Xiao Mohan straight to the door, took the title deed given by Shao Huaigu, and went to those fields, she carefully inspected them, and found that Shao Huaigu raised these fields really well, and she couldn't see that they were wasteland reclamation.
"I really can't see it, this Lord Shao has a good set of farming."
Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, stood up, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and there was a little ridicule in her tone.
"Shao Huaigu is well-read, although he can't go to the field, but he has a lot of things in his head, how to farm and raise land, he is better than ordinary farmers."
Xiao Mohan didn't think so, he had known Shao Huaigu for many years, and he had long known Shao Huaigu's temperament, so wasn't it just farming? It is not difficult for Shao Huaigu at all.
"He should have wasted a lot of effort on raising these lands, and if I don't grow more food, I won't be able to bear his hard work."
Qian Qianqian walked on the ridge, the scorching sun sprinkled on her face, she didn't raise her hand to cover it, the weeds under her feet were soft, and her eyes were full of green mountains and green waters, full of the taste of freedom.
Compared with the splendid palace and palace, Qian Qianqian still prefers to wander in this countryside, as if only here, she is relaxed, and even breathing is much easier, although she has traveled here from modern times, but she does not yearn for those palaces at all.
"Wu Shun has already gone to look for villagers, and when the time comes, they will come to take care of these fields, you only need to tell Wu Shun the method, and you don't have to do anything else."
Xiao Mohan stretched out his hand with Qian Qianqian, but he was also afraid that Qian Qianqian would be tired, so he instructed lightly.
"Don't worry, I'm measured, it's just that Xiao Heng and Yueji are in the capital, and they will definitely find out the secrets of these fields when the time comes, so you can pay more attention to safety, and don't have the same thing as Qianjia Village."
Qian Qianqian looked into the distance, raised her head, frowned slightly, and the sun above her head made her squint.
"This is nature, this is the capital, Xiao Heng doesn't have the ability to do things under my nose."
Xiao Mohan said very firmly, although Xiao Heng has many masters under him, but this capital is still in Xiao Mohan's hands, as long as Xiao Heng is still a little sober, he will not act rashly.
Qian Qianqian went to check some other fields, these fields add up, there should be thousands of acres, if you sow seeds in the field and harvest in autumn, the scene must be not small.
There is also the land where medicinal herbs are grown, the medicinal herbs in it have long been mature, and they have also been harvested, sent to the pharmacies in the capital, and sold to those pharmacies at sixty percent of the market price, so that several herbs in the capital are much cheaper, and the people don't need to pay so much silver to buy medicine.
But those people thought that it was because of the good harvest of medicinal materials this year, and the price of the pharmacy was reduced, and no one could have imagined that Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian were behind it, so naturally they would not be grateful.
Qian Qianqian walked around the field, had a general understanding of the situation in the field, and when she went back, she made a list, wrote everything on it, and handed it to Wu Shun, asking Wu Shun to buy seeds according to what was written above.
Xiao Heng also inquired about the matter, knowing that Xiao Mohan and Shao Huaigu had secretly bought a lot of fields, and wanted to discuss with Yueji to see how to do it, but Yueji stopped him.
"Isn't it just some fields, what's the big deal? Xiao Mohan also had no choice, so he focused on those fields, and when the prince won the throne, no matter what the fields, they were not all yours? Why bother with this? ”
Yueji has always been shrewd to the bone, knowing that it is not good for her to make trouble at this time, if Xiao Mohan doesn't give her the antidote in a fit of anger, then wouldn't everything she did before be in vain?
"Having said that, Xiao Mohan must be abnormal when he bought so many fields, he must be planning something."
Xiao Heng pondered, and his face sank, Xiao Mohan always does things out of accordance with the rules, which makes people incomprehensible, and the same is true at this time.
It stands to reason that Xiao Mohan has already gathered soldiers at this time and made every effort to exterminate him and Yueji, but at the moment, Xiao Mohan has no intention of sending troops and generals, but instead sends people to farm, which is really strange.
"General Xiao has led his troops to fight for many years, and the city is very deep, until the last moment, I don't know what he is thinking in his heart, so at this time, we must calm down, and we must not act rashly, otherwise it will not be good to fall into General Xiao's trap."
Yueji said it soundingly, although she was not Xiao Mohan's opponent, but she still had the ability to drag Xiao Heng, so under her persuasion in a few words, Xiao Heng was moved by her.
"You're right, I want to see, what does Xiao Mohan want to do?"
Xiao Heng nodded slightly, clenched his back molars, his brows were twisted into a dead knot, Xiao Mohan had killed many of his soldiers before, so his men and horses in southern Xinjiang had been standing still, for fear of being exposed, those people were his last retreat, and there must not be any mistakes.
Wu Shun carefully selected many villagers, all of whom were simple and honest people, and he carefully checked them, and those people were all innocent, and it was most suitable for them to farm.
Among those villagers who worked, Wu Shun also installed a lot of people from the General's Mansion to secretly monitor those villagers, and whoever had the slightest dissent could not escape the eyes of the General's Mansion.
A month later, the fields were sown in full swing, and Tsukihime also went to the general's mansion as agreed.
"General Xiao, you should have verified all the things I said earlier, I didn't tell a lie, so can you give me the antidote?"
Tsukihime got straight to the point, she desperately wanted to get rid of the poison in her body, so she couldn't help it as soon as she came, the feeling of heartache was really uncomfortable, and she didn't want to experience it again.
"What you said is true, but you almost killed my people because of it, so you say, should General Ben give you the antidote?"
Xiao Mohan's expression was calm, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyebrows were heroic, and his eyes were burning, making it impossible to refute it at all.
"I didn't know that Jiuchen was your person, I told you all about Xiao Heng's deployment, so naturally I had to find a way to clear my suspicion, so it was human nature for me to do that, if you didn't give me the antidote because of this matter, wouldn't it be a reversal?"
Yueji also looked helpless, when she knew that it was Xiao Mohan who saved Jiuchen, she was already a little panicked in her heart, and now her life was in Xiao Mohan's hands, and she inadvertently offended Xiao Mohan, so things were in trouble.
"Don't worry, General Ben doesn't plan to go back on his word, the antidote can be given to you, but you have to do something for General Ben, even if you make up for Jiuchen, after the matter is done, General Ben will give you the antidote."
Xiao Mohan's face did not change color, he lifted his thin lips lightly, and the light and dark in his deep eyes were mixed, which made people unable to see it really, and he couldn't figure it out.
"What?" Yueji suppressed the anger in her heart, although her face was ugly, she still didn't dare to conflict with Xiao Mohan, so she could only endure it until the day she got the antidote.
"Xiao Heng has raised so many soldiers in southern Xinjiang, it should cost a lot of silver taels, he fled to southern Xinjiang, where did he get so much silver? So where did all the money come from to support the soldiers? ”
Xiao Mohan changed his words and glanced at Yueji coldly, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the implication in this statement was very clear, Yueji was a smart person, and he must be able to understand.
"You mean, let me steal Xiao Heng's military salary for you?"
Yueji frowned, her voice trembled a little, this is a big deal, she doesn't dare to make a rash decision, if she is not careful, she will die.
"Where did Xiao Heng's silver come from, you must know it, since you know it in your heart, you will bring it to me to exchange for the antidote."
Xiao Mohan said lightly, such a light and fluttering sentence made Yueji sit still, that is Xiao Heng's most important treasure, if you want to steal it, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"General Xiao, this matter is not trivial, with my ability, I really can't do it, although I am cooperating with Xiao Heng, he has been guarding against me, what I told you before, all I found in secret."
Yueji lowered her head, listening to the voice as if she had no confidence at all, in fact, she knew where Xiao Heng's silver came from, but it was because she knew that she didn't dare to move.
"Since you can find out that news, it will not be difficult for you to pay the military salary, so General Ben believes that you must have a way."
Xiao Mohan has a resolute attitude, he is categorical, there is no room for negotiation at all, as long as he decides something, no one can change it, even if Yueji is unwilling, in order to save his life, he must do it.
"The one-month period has passed, if you don't give me the antidote, at least give me some medicine to continue my life."
Yueji was helpless, it seemed that she could only agree, but now her heart began to hurt again, she didn't know when she would be able to get the things in Xiao Heng's hand, so she had to think of a way.
"The previous medicine, General Ben has already given it to you, so you still want it now, and General Ben can't take it out, but don't worry, the heart hurts and you won't die now, if you really can't stand it, you will find a way to come to General Ben to change the antidote, so all this can only rely on yourself."
