Under the light of the fire, the expression on Li Jinli's face was extremely complicated, joy, surprise, helplessness, and disbelief.

Do I, Li Jinli, also wear satin clothes one day?

The old man stretched out his hand and touched the silk side of his clothes tremblingly, with a happy smile on his face: "It's so slippery." ”

Li Jinli had a smile on his face, and then looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "This dress is quite expensive, right?" ”

"It's okay, a tael of silver."

"Much, how much?!"

Li Jinli's eyes widened when he heard this number, one or two silver, this is enough to eat for his family for half a year, buy a piece of clothing now.

And the other clan elders behind him also widened their eyes, my good man, so much silver? Could this garment be sewn with gold thread?

Li Jinli slowed down for a long time before reproaching: "How do you spend money lavishly, you old guys can't wear anything, this dress is too expensive, let's send it back tomorrow." ”

Li Jinli touched his clothes and said reluctantly, and after hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Uncle, where did you say this, my nephew respects you old, what do you care about how much money it has, you just dress it steadily, this money is nothing to your nephew, and your good days when you are old are still ahead." ”

Li Chaosheng said and waved his hand to Mengzi: "Mengzi, what are you doing stupidly, hurry up and give the clothes to your uncles and uncles, I still have business to discuss with you." ”

Hearing this, Mengzi immediately handed the clothes to several clan elders, and several old men were flushed with excitement and happiness at this time, touching the clothes in their hands were more comfortable than their own mother-in-law, and looking at Li Chaosheng, they were closer than their own sons.

Li Chaosheng said to Li Jinli at this time: "Uncle, there are two things to ask you about, and there are a few clan elders. ”

"The first is where these things are unloaded, I'm afraid my house won't fit."

Hearing this, Li Jinli looked at several clan elders and said: "If you don't let the ancestral hall go, you can't lose it if you send someone to guard it at night." ”

Several clan elders nodded in unison when they heard this: "Well, it's the most secure place there." ”

"Yes, it's convenient to entertain the clansmen."

"Okay, then listen to a few uncles and uncles, put the ancestral hall, another question, I brought back thirty-seven bandits this time, I thought that in a few days I might have to build a new house, just let them be my coolies, but now there is no place to detain them."

"Ah, this is simple, close the dungeon, there is a big place, it is easy to guard."

At this time, a clan elder said, and after hearing this, Li Jinli also nodded and said, "Well, put it in the dungeon." ”

"Dungeon."

Li Chaosheng was stunned when he heard this, there is still such a treasure in the clan?

Li Jinli said: "After a while, let Dalong take you." ”

"Yes."

……

Li Chaosheng chatted with several clan elders for a while, and said that several clan elders were smiling, and the more they looked at Li Chaosheng, the more cordial they became, and at this time, their own son was probably not as high as Li Chaosheng's status in their hearts.

After chatting with the elders for a while, Li Chaolong came over and took Li Chaosheng to escort people to the dungeon.

The dungeon, the place where the clan detains people, as mentioned earlier in this era, the clan elders manage the villages and towns, which have the power to enforce the law, and usually some things are decided within the clan, and there is no trouble in the county at all, so the clan builds its own dungeon.

For example, if a lady does not abide by women's morals, needs to soak in a pig cage, or violates other clan rules, they will be detained in this place first.

To put it bluntly, this dungeon is a cellar, under a house, with an iron lid on top and a space the size of a house below, it is easy to hold dozens of people.

The cellar is very deep, it can have the appearance of three meters, people want to go down need to put a ladder, after putting people down, the ladder is withdrawn, at this time it is covered with an iron lid, a lock, and the gods can't come up.

The bandits all rushed to the cellar, including Shi Dalei and Shi Xiaolei, although Shi Dalei said that he would sell his life to Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng also believed that he did not lie to himself, but as a prisoner, he must be treated as a prisoner, first atone, and then talk about others, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the clansmen.

Li Chaosheng squatted on top of the dungeon at this time, and said to the bandits locked inside: "You are honest here to reform, let you work hard, and you will not be hungry at ordinary times, but if you play tricks with me, don't blame me if you die." ”

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, he got up and left with Li Chaolong, and two young clansmen were arranged in this room to watch, of course, they didn't look in vain, and each person gave a pound of white noodles.

When he got outside, Mengzi waited outside with all the thirty people on this trip, Li Chaosheng looked at the big guy and said: "This big guy is lucky, go back and sleep well, and go to me tomorrow to get white noodles, ten catties per person." ”

"Okay."

Everyone looked at each other happily when they heard this, and then Li Chaosheng continued: "In addition, this big guy is very brave, and some of them are injured, this injury is for me Li Chaosheng, and it can't be suffered in vain. ”

"Ah, Brother Chaosheng, it's up to us to protect you, how can we still have chickens? Square peg. ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Chaosheng, we can't have this hen."

"Yes, Brother Chaosheng, you still care about our fatty noodles at noon tonight, we can't ask for chickens."

"Yes, no, you can't."

……

"Brothers, brothers, listen to me, you have to have this chicken today, we will have a long life in the future, if you don't want my chicken, I will be embarrassed to ask you for help in the future, everyone must accept it."

Li Chaosheng said to everyone, after hearing this, the big guy was silent for a while.

"Brother Chaosheng, you are too polite, we will accept the chicken, you can talk about something in the future, as long as the brothers can do it, even if we give up our lives, we will help Brother Chaosheng do it."

"Yes, Brother Chaosheng, whoever dares to speak ill of you and bully you in the future, I will fight with them."

"Yes, Brother Chaosheng, we will do whatever you ask us to do in the future!"

"Yes, yes."

The big guy was gossiping for a while, Li Chaosheng looked at everyone with a smile, isn't this the effect he wants? Wealth is scattered and people gather, and now people's hearts are gathered by themselves.

The big guy walked away with a hen, but there were still ten left, Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaolong and said: "Cousin, let's pick a few to send to the clan elders, and you take the rest home, yesterday we ate the only laying hen in our family, I only listened to the fierce son talk to me afterwards, I always don't want to go, the eldest lady is not in good health, I have to make up for it, and Dezong, when the dolphin is growing up, the nutrition must keep up." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaolong did not refuse, after all, in Li Chaosheng's words, there will be more days to deal with him in the future, and it is enough to help him with his heart, and then he is polite to him, but it seems to be a foreigner.

"Okay, it's all up to you."
