Chapter 44: Dispatch
Boss Chen glanced at the silver ticket, motioned to the minions around him to pick up the silver ticket and return it to Mo Xiaoqi.
"Boss Mo, I won't accept these two thousand taels from you, since you want to talk about business, then this is the right thing to be my gift to you."
When Mo Xiaoqi heard this, he said slowly: "Since Boss Chen doesn't accept it, then I won't force it." ”
"Where's my father-in-law?" The eldest sister-in-law rushed to the front and opened her mouth to say.
"Bring it on." Boss Chen greeted him, and immediately someone walked out with a man who was firmly tied.
"Boss Chen, I'm going to take people away. Business, don't talk about it today, tomorrow, guests will come to see you. Mo Xiaoqi said slowly.
Boss Chen said quietly: "It's all up to Boss Mo, tomorrow will be tomorrow." ”
The man who was tied up was thrown to Mo Xiaoqi's side, and the eldest sister-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope for her husband.
"Let's go." Mo Xiaoqi whispered.
Back to Kelaixiang, the eldest sister-in-law walked to Mo Xiaoqi's side timidly, and said timidly: "That, Xiaoqi, you see, we can't stay anymore, and we plan to take my mother back to the countryside." ”
"It's fine." Mo Xiaoqi said lightly.
"That'...... See if you can ...... Bring some money, and we will go back to the village, and the land will be deserted. That mother also needs living expenses......" The eldest sister-in-law glanced at Mo Xiaoqi, "Look at the two thousand taels of silver ticket, anyway, it is going to be redeemed by your brother-in-law to pay off the debt, and the owner of the gambling house is kind enough to confiscate it." ”
The implication is that she wants the two thousand taels of silver tickets, how could Mo Xiaoqi not hear it?
"Sister, do you want those two thousand taels?" Mo Xiaoqi put down what he was doing and patted the dust on his hand.
The eldest sister-in-law nodded like pounding garlic, and hurriedly said, "Anyway, the two thousand taels are also for your brother-in-law." ”
"Why?" Mo Xiaoqi asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words came out, the eldest sister-in-law immediately exploded, and scolded with one hand: "Okay, you Mo Xiaoqi, I still think you are kind-hearted and willing to pay to save your brother-in-law, but I didn't expect you to be hypocritical at all." ”
"Then you can be a hypocrisy." Mo Xiaoqi said disdainfully.
In fact, Mo Xiaoqi has done his best to their family, and all this is for the sake of Shu'er's face.
"You! Ruthless enough! The eldest sister-in-law couldn't swallow this breath, so she turned around and went to her mother for help.
"Mother, that Mo Xiaoqi, she bullied the two of us." The eldest sister-in-law knelt in front of her mother, with a handful of snot and tears, and reversed all the black and white in a few words.
But her mother is not stupid, she has seen what her daughter and son-in-law have done in the past six months. He persuaded him: "Okay, don't cry, leave the matter of asking for a silver ticket to me." ”
So her old man was cheeky and found Mo Xiaoqi.
Before he could speak, Mo Xiaoqi had already handed over the silver ticket.
"Mother, I knew you would come to me. You keep this silver ticket, and you must not give it to both of them easily. I have a secret recipe for making Songhua eggs here, you take it, and after returning to their hometown, let them do Songhua egg business. Although you can't be rich and expensive, you can also keep food and clothing worry-free. ”
The mother-in-law took the silver ticket and the secret recipe, and she didn't know what to say.
It took a while to say: "Xiaoqi, thank you." ”
Mo Xiaoqi smiled casually and only said, "No thanks." ”
In fact, the mother-in-law didn't know that her family had treated Mo Xiaoqi badly, but her son was right no matter how wrong she was.
"Alright, I'll find a carriage to take you back. Wheelchairs are also brought with us, making it easy to move. Mo Xiaoqi just wanted to get rid of these people in her heart, they were gone, and she could still go to the capital without any worries.
It's just that there is still an opportunity missing.
This opportunity soon came, and the emperor sent the prince of Xiaoyao to Renshou County to investigate the murder of the nurse.
And Zhao Hongyi ordered to prepare to take Mrs. Li's body back to Beijing for burial.
Mo Xiaoqi wanted to give Mrs. Li a ride, but Zhao Hongyi stopped her and told her to wait for him to come back from the capital in the county.
"Hongyi, don't be too sad, when you return to the capital, the emperor will ask you about your crimes, you deal with it carefully." Mo Xiaoqi admonished.
"Don't worry, I'll be back. If you stay here, don't go anywhere, I'll keep in touch with you at any time with a pigeon book. Zhao Hongyi looked at Mrs. Li's coffin, and the bloodshot in his eyes made Mo Xiaoqi feel sad.
She couldn't help at all, Zhao Hongyi and Mrs. Li helped her so much.
Useless, she still felt useless. This deep sense of powerlessness made her depressed.
"Hongyi, this is some dry food that can be stored for a long time, bring it. I also made jerky, which was very delicious as long as I boiled it in water and added some wild vegetables. Mo Xiaoqi asked the servant to hand over a large package.
"By the way, there is also boiled and dried rice, soak it in boiling water, and it will be no different from fresh rice in a quarter of an hour." Mo Xiaoqi told the food inside one by one how to eat it.
"Thank you. When the prince comes, if there is something, you will trouble him. For my sake, he will help you. It's just that beware of it. After all, you're a woman. Zhao Hongyi raised his eyes to look at her, and the reluctance in his heart was not fake.
It's just that he can't take her with him, the capital is a land of tigers and wolves, and how many people are waiting for his life.
Zhao Hongyi turned over and rode his horse to catch up with the team that had already opened the coffin.
The heroic posture at that moment made Mo Xiaoqi seem to see a completely different Zhao Hongyi from usual.
"Hongyi, goodbye!" Mo Xiaoqi waved his hand and bid farewell to Zhao Hongyi.
"Goodbye, Daddy." Shu'er also waved her little hand and said goodbye to her godfather.
Soon after Zhao Hongyi left, Zhao Zimu, the king of Xiaoyao, came to Renshou County and took over the yamen.
On this day, Zhao Zimu sent a letter to Mo Xiaoqi and asked her to go to the mansion for a get-together. The credible address is Mrs. Li's house.
Mo Xiaoqi arrived as promised, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Zhao Zimu waiting in front of the Li Mansion.
"Xiaoqi, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're getting more and more beautiful." Zhao Zimu pursed his lips and smiled.
"yes, long time no see." Mo Xiaoqi always thought that the man who rescued him that night and had a skin-to-skin relationship with him was Zhao Zimu, so his attitude was exceptionally good.
"Come on, I have something to ask you." Zhao Zimu got out of the way.
The two of them, under the leadership of the maid in the house, entered the flower hall.
"Xiaoqi, I heard Lord Zhao say that the suspect is Gonggong An, but the emperor trusts Gonggong An very much." Zhao Zimu took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Mo Xiaoqi.
Mo Xiaoqi looked around the flower hall, and only felt that Mrs. Li was still alive, as if she would come out of the inner hall at any time, hugging the tree and shaking the rattle.
The old lady loves the tree very much, and every once in a while she will let people take the tree to the house to play.
"Lord Wang, please give Mrs. Li the truth." Mo Xiaoqi said in a deep voice.
Zhao Zimu nodded and said solemnly: "It's just that there is really no evidence, and the emperor probably knows that if I come, I can only go through the motions." ”
"I want to go and see the scene of the old lady's death." Mo Xiaoqi said sadly.
Since the old lady died, she has never been to the mansion again, firstly, the county government is sealed, and secondly, she does not want to touch the scene.
Especially after the county government saw the old lady's body.
