Chapter 38 The Case of the Dam Stone Mine in Zhaozhuang Village

As soon as Gong Zhixian saw the Wang family, his waist straightened instantly. He tilted his head and stepped forward, "Hurry up and line up, aren't you making a fuss about eating?" Now that the meal is coming one by one, why are you stunned, don't act like the official treats you badly on weekdays. ”

The sumptuous Chinese food is just around the corner, and the servants are too lazy to fight with Gong Zhixian, so you push me and squeeze in line.

Zhang Xuedao was about to follow to line up, and Zhang Er walked over respectfully with a basket.

"Adult, you don't remember the villain's faults, small sins deserve death, please give the villain a chance to change." After saying that, he opened the basket flatteringly, and there was a bowl of steamed eggs, a plate of fried bacon with green beans, a plate of fried meat with cucumbers, and a large bowl of white rice. "Coarse tea and light rice, please give your face a taste of it."

If it weren't for the lack of time, Zhang Er would have been eager to go to Jixiang Restaurant to pack a few town store dishes and come back to ask Zhang Xuedao for his guilt.

He thinks that his attitude is very sincere, and he does it very much in line with Zhang Xuedao's intentions, how can a big official like him really eat a big pot of rice with a group of untouchables, and his actions have saved his face.

Didn't you see the group of untouchables around you and think this should be?

Zhang Xuedao took the basket without saying a word, and as soon as Zhang Er showed an excited expression on his face, he saw Zhang Xuedao hand the basket to the oldest old man among the servants. The old man couldn't shirk it, so he could only shudder and exchange food with him.

Zhang Er's face was numb, and Gong Zhixian's face was also numb.

But fortunately, Zhang Xuedao finished his meal quietly and didn't say anything more. The servants around him have rarely been stained with oil meat these days, and they are even more excited to eat at this time.

Gong Zhixian suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief. In order to quickly fool Zhang Xuedao away, Gong Zhixian turned his mind around and came up with a good idea.

He immediately announced loudly: "Since everyone is quite satisfied with what they have eaten today, the official has decided to hand over the food for the next twenty days or so to Wang Lizheng's family in Donghe Village to prepare, what do you think?" ”

How could the servant who ate deliciously not be satisfied, today's meal was simply beautiful compared to the hard steamed bun and cold porridge a few days ago, so they all cheered loudly.

"Rest assured, we will do our best to make delicious food that will not only help you replenish your energy, but also make you feel good. And my royal family promises that they will not deduct a penny! Wang Peiyun said to the servants in a gentle but firm tone.

"With Miss Peiyun here, what else do I have to worry about!"

This rhetoric was supported by countless people.

Wang Peiyun lowered her head shyly and chuckled, at the moment of bowing her head, she glanced at Mu Xiwen slightly, seeing Mu Xiwen's calm face, her smile couldn't help but be a little more genuine.

[Congratulations to the host, reputation +2, luck +100.] 】

After winning the right to provide food for the servants, several people from the Wang family were proud, and Wang Li was in a good mood to smoke dry tobacco; Compared with the excitement of the Wang family, the atmosphere on the Mu family's side is much heavier.

Mu Fuyang grimaced, very unconvinced, "We found out about Gong Zhixian's detention of the servant, and it was Ah Wen that you managed to find Master Xuedao, which made Gong Zhixian have to spit out the greedy silver, and in the end, the benefits were all picked up by the Wang family!" The reputation is all called the Wang family! Why? ”

"Don't worry," Mu Xiwen hooked his lips and smiled, not at all as angry and corrupt as Wang Peiyun guessed, "The servants are very grateful to the Wang family now, and the Wang family seems to have gained some fame and benefits, but in the end, this is just a thankless effort." Take my credit for favors, and I'd like to see what they can do. ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Wei Ziyin.

Wei Ziyin didn't go up to line up to eat, and was eating the last steamed bun left.

"This steamed bun is going to be ruined, why don't you go to dinner with them?"

Wei Ziyin didn't look up, and said lightly: "I'm not used to using dishes and chopsticks used by others." ”

"Poor and exquisite." Of course, this was what Mu Xiwen complained about in her heart, she didn't dare to say this in front of Jin Da Thigh, and then she said in a slightly flattering tone: "Then I'll bring you food in the next few days." ”

Wei Ziyin looked at her indistinctly and nodded.

The scorching sun has been too strong in the past few days, Wei Ziyin's originally smooth skin has been black for a while, and Mu Xiwen felt sorry for a while, how much she wants this cold white skin, Wei Ziyin is simply a tyrannical thing.

So she asked with a little distress, "Why did you reject the words of Master Xuedao?" Don't say anything that doesn't suffer from inequality, I don't believe that. ”

A faint glint flashed in Wei Ziyin's eyes, and soon disappeared again, he bent his eyes slightly, "Because I want to investigate......"

As soon as the word investigation came out, Mu Xiwen's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The whereabouts of the embankment stones in Zhaozhuang Village. ”

But it was too late, as Wei Ziyin's voice fell, the 444 in his mind jumped up and down with excitement.

【Ding Dong!】 Congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest - Zhaozhuang Village Dike Stone Mine Case. 50 points for completing the task; If the mission fails, the host will be haunted by bad luck for a week! 】

Mu Xiwensheng closed his eyes helplessly, "Don't I have a little autonomy?" Shouldn't it be up to me to decide whether or not to open a side quest? ”

[Yes, dear, only if you take the initiative to trigger the side quest, the quest will be opened.] The autonomy is, of course, in your hands. 】

"I don't even know which sentence triggers the mission! And don't talk about this, shouldn't side quests be completed casually, there are rewards for completion, and there is no impact if they are not completed? Why punish me? Or is it such a vicious punishment for bad luck? ”

[Oh, that's probably because I'm a Calamity.] 444 replied proudly instead of being ashamed.

Mu Xiwen: ......

Wei Ziyin on the opposite side blinked slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Mu Xiwen squeezed out a smile, "What's wrong with these stones, what's the problem?" ”

"As you can tell, the levee here is in disrepair, but it does come to the levee every three years. So where do these stones end up? ”

Mu Xiwen wondered: "Didn't you smash the stones and repair them into the embankment?" ”

"No, all we do every day is to bring the boulders from the quarry, cut them into large stones, and carry them to the empty room in front of them. I don't know if the other servants saw the problem, but even if they did, they thought that more was better than less, and they just carried the stones honestly every day, just waiting for the end of the month's service to go home safely. ”

The smile on Mu Xiwen's face was even more reluctant.

Gong Zhixian dared to blatantly do this kind of thing, the backer behind him didn't know how powerful, didn't she really look for death when she went to investigate this matter?
