After returning home, Kapok released An An, Li Xiufeng thought that An An had gone out to play, and now he came back!

Kapok wanted to share the good news with An Sheng, so he wrote another letter for An An to send over, and it was estimated that it would take five or six days for An Sheng to receive this letter.

………………

After two or three days of Kapok was confused, there were really people in the yamen who came to the village to forcibly recruit soldiers, those who had money to pay, those who had no money to pay, and they came from house to house to collect, and many people who could not pay the money and were arrested followed behind the officers and soldiers of the yamen, and the officers and soldiers who came to recruit people came from neighboring villages, and the people in charge of collecting money were people sent by the county, so the people of the yamen could not intervene, saying that recruiting people was actually arresting people.

The first household at the entrance of Lijia Village was Mu Qing's house, and Mu Qing and the others didn't know what was going on when they looked at the officers and soldiers who broke in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing here?" Mu Qing looked at a military uniform and a long sword, and his face was fierce, and his voice was unconscious.

"We were sent by the county to recruit soldiers, and those who had money paid and those who didn't have money paid out," the leader explained impatiently.

"W, how much does it cost?" Mu Qing stammered.

"Not much, ten taels of silver," the leader said calmly.

"That's a lot! This, I don't have that much money" Mu Qing looked embarrassed, he only had eight taels of silver when he broke the sky! In this family, he went out to work alone to support the family, it was difficult to save money at all, some of the money was still subsidized by Xiaohong, Wang Cuihua was beaten honestly for a while, and grew food in the field all day long, but this mouth is still very underbeaten, Xiaohong often makes her stumble and asks Mu Qing to clean her up, otherwise it must be as lazy as before, Mu Xin is sluggish and embroiders in the room all day long and rarely goes out, as if the outside has nothing to do with him, Mu Lang! I'm still idle all day long, and I have nothing to tease the other maid in the family, Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu looks average, so he was not taken by Mu Qing, Mu Lang treats Xiao Lu like a plaything, so this family has to rely on Mu Qing to make money, so naturally this day is miserable.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? If you don't have money, you will hand it over," the leader yelled impatiently, these people only recognize money.

"Dad, don't hand me over! I'm your only son! Mu Lang looked at Mu Qing in fear, he didn't want to go to the battlefield to die.

"Don't worry, I won't hand you out" Although Mu Qing is not a good person, he is still reluctant to have his only son, and in ancient times, he was patriarchal.

"Xianggong, our family doesn't have that much money, if this is all given this winter, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass the east," Xiaohong persuaded in a low voice beside her.

"So what do you say? He's my son," Mu Qing was a little annoyed by what Xiaohong said.

Wang Cuihua on the side heard what Xiaohong muttered, and immediately shouted: "You poisonous woman who killed a thousand knives, it's my son, you don't feel distressed, right?" What's the matter, that's also the son of Xianggong! Poisonous Woman"

"What are you arguing about there, give me a quick decision, we have to go to another house to collect money!" If I grind again, I'll arrest people directly," the leader waited, a little irritated.

"My lord, you sit down first, we will discuss it soon, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas" Mu Qing bowed his head and said flatteringly.

"Okay, then I'll wait" The leader felt that Mu Qing was okay, so he calmed down and waited, after all, he could still get a part of the money he received.

"Xiaohong, what do you say about this? Is there any way to prevent them from taking Lang'er away?" Mu Qingxiang came to listen to Xiaohong's suggestion.

"What can this poisonous woman do, she won't feel distressed if she is not her own!" Wang Cuihua said anxiously, and Xiaohong turned her head aggrieved.

"Wang Cuihua, if you don't want to be beaten, shut up for me" Mu Qing roared angrily, regretting more and more that he had married her before.

"Master, if you want me to say, let Kapok pay this money for us, isn't she very rich? There is no problem with these ten taels of silver, so I will pay for it in my pocket" Xiaohong said with a crooked idea, in fact, she had long wanted to get rid of Mu Lang, she was lazy to do it all day long, but because of the superficial kung fu was not good to drive away, she had to come up with such an idea, she knew that Kapok would not pay this money.

"What if she refuses? We have long broken off relations with her, and everyone in the village has notarized," Mu Qing said embarrassedly.

"It's been so long, Kapok shouldn't have been remembered for a long time, right? You are related by blood, so you can't die without help! I really don't have any other way than this method, otherwise I can tell the leading officers and soldiers, saying that Kapok is your daughter is very rich, just ask her directly, and when the time comes, the officers and soldiers will go, can Kapok still be given? This sword doesn't have eyes," Xiaohong analyzed to Mu Qing.

"That's right, that's how it was decided," Mu Qing felt feasible.

After discussing, Mu Qingcai turned around and said to the leading officers and soldiers, "This adult, we will give money, but we want to find my daughter to get it, that's the case, my daughter, she lives under the mountain in the village, she is a fruit seller, just ask her to take this silver, I don't have it here, I'm really embarrassed!" Mu Qing said in fear, for fear that the sword would fall on his head.

"Why is it so troublesome? Your daughter is rich, why do you live in such a dilapidated house? It can't bluff me, right? The leader didn't believe Mu Qing's words.

"My lord, how dare we bluff you. She is indeed my daughter, we just came to clean this old house, I miss the old man, I will go back in a while, I am afraid of delaying your time, you can go to my daughter to get it first" Mu Qing explained.

"Then why did you just say you didn't have any money?" The leader was still a little unconvinced, and asked.

"I, I just said I don't have any money on me," Mu Qing explained in a stumbling voice.

"Okay, then I'll go find your daughter to get it, if not, I'll come back and arrest someone" The leader warned with a serious face, originally he was also rushing for money, walking a few more steps for money is nothing, if there is no money, he will come directly to kidnap people.

"Hmmm! Go for it! She's at home! Mu Qing saw that the plan had succeeded, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing off the officers and soldiers, Mu Qing thought in her heart that she didn't have to worry about it now, but Xiaohong was happier than several of them, after all, she knew in her heart that Kapok was not easy to mess with.

Officers and soldiers recruited people door-to-door, many people couldn't afford the money and were arrested directly, the whole village was full of sadness, the Zhang family also came, and they paid the money generously, and the Li family was very polite because Li Qingming was in the middle, Li Qingming was not short of money, so he naturally paid the money, and finally found the Kapok family.

As soon as the leader saw Kapian's house and the fruit tree inside the gate, he knew that Mu Qing really didn't lie to him, he was a rich lord, so he led his officers and soldiers to swagger in, and Niu Dazhuang hurriedly went to inform the people who came to the yamen.
