Chapter 31
The two detectives did not stay in the village for too long. After looking around the fields, they came to Ming's father and Ming's mother and the owners of the fields around their home to inquire about the situation, and then left.
"Why did you really bother the county magistrate?" Ming's father disagreed, "Isn't it obvious that you don't trust the village chief? How can this be good?"
"Originally, the village chief had no intention of upholding justice for our family. He said something about trust or distrust." Ming's mother curled her lips indifferently. She had been a little dissatisfied with the village chief for a long time. If it weren't for Ming's father,
She has always been in awe of the village chief, and she said this a long time ago.
Ming's father was a little dissatisfied, "You bitch, we are still in the village. If we offend the village chief, how will we live in the future?"
"At worst, we can just live somewhere else!" Mingxiu didn't care. After Xie Zhan came back, they had money in their hands, and they couldn't go anywhere. Why did they have to stay in Tubao Village?
Now she is holding back from showing her intention to leave, simply because she has no money and no expense on the way there.
But Mingxiu is confident that if she really wants to leave, she will have a way.
"Kid, don't talk nonsense. Do you really think it's so easy to change places?"
Didn't Ming's father know that his family was being bullied in Tubao Village?
But there is nothing he can do!
It was a miserable thing to leave your hometown at this time, and people in most areas were very xenophobic. It was not easy for outsiders to integrate. Even if they moved, their family's situation would still be the same as it is now.
In this case, what’s the point of moving?
Mingxiu's words can only be taken as the words of a child. Ming's father has never had any intention of moving away.
Now the village chief is probably dissatisfied with their family, and they can only live their own lives behind closed doors.
Ming's father still didn't believe that his family was doing their own thing honestly without making any mistakes. Even if the village chief was dissatisfied with his family, could he still come to his door?
"Okay, I think Xiu'er did a good job. Now I have alerted Master Qingtian and let others see that our family is not bullied for nothing. Who dares to come to our door?"
Ming's mother hummed. She was now gradually rising under the influence of Mingxiu. She was not like before, blindly wanting to settle the matter and make peace. Even if her family suffered some grievances, it would be okay.
After the temper got louder, even the others became tough. Even if they offended the village chief, could they still drive him out?
This matter was originally done by the person who committed the crime. If the village chief really dared, then they would go to the county government again.
What's so great about him is that he doesn't associate with the villagers.
Originally, there were few people in the village that Ming's mother could talk to.
Of course, Mingmu's own temperament also has something to do with it.
But now that the girl is well, she doesn't think about anything else. She just wants to make more money for Mingxiu to keep while she and Ming's father can still work together, and then find her a suitable husband, so that she and Ming's father can be together.
You can close your eyes.
Mingxiu sighed slightly in her heart. Ming's father seemed to be more effective than Ming's mother, but when things really happened, he was not as tough as Ming's mother.
"What if the village chief comes next time and asks us to hand over our land..." What if we are kicked out if we don't hand it over?
"Let's go to the Yamen and accuse them of robbing other people's property!"
Mingxiu knew that this method would not work, at least not until Xie Zhan came back.
If the county magistrate knows that they have this method, even if the county magistrate is a good official, he will definitely try his best to control it in his own hands.
What if he had a little more of his own ideas?
Is their family still alive?
As the saying goes, the county magistrate who confiscated the house is like the prefect who exterminated the clan. They are small families with no power and no help. It is impossible to resist!
You can only let others slaughter you!
Before Xie Zhan comes back, this method cannot be spread too widely, at least it cannot be known to interested people!
The best way is to let the village chief and the villagers stop this idea first!
Mingxiu still has to think about how to operate it.
Half a month later, there was still no money in the investigation, and it was about to snow. The county magistrate didn't want to dwell on it anymore, so he directly ordered Tubao Village to pay the Ming family five taels of silver from the income from the village's field sacrifice.
.
Although the five taels of silver may not seem like much, it actually exceeds the losses of the Ming family.
However, when the county magistrate opened his mouth, it wasn't like he couldn't get out five taels of silver, so no one dared to say anything.
But Mingxiu felt that the people in the village looked at them more and more unkindly.
But even so, no one dares to cause trouble easily.
After what happened this time, everyone knew that Mingxiu was a tough girl and would report to the official at every turn. How could they dare to see the official? Even if they wanted to avoid it, they had to avoid it.
Before the first snowfall, Mingxiu took her parents up the mountain for the last time and picked some mountain products to send to Xianxianglou.
It was about to snow, and it was difficult to find mountain goods. There were also fewer people going up the mountain. Shopkeeper Xu rarely gave Mingxiu a good price, saying that it would give them a good life during the New Year.
"Didn't Xie Zhan say he could come back before it snows? The winter months are almost gone, why are there still no people around?" Ming's mother was worried, "I hope I can catch up with the Chinese New Year."
Ming's father felt that Xie Zhan might not come back, but seeing Ming's mother looking forward to it, he couldn't say much, "It snowed heavily for the first time this year. Maybe it was delayed on the road. Don't worry too much."
"It's a good thing he can't catch up with the Chinese New Year. The delicious food is cheap for us."
Ming Xiucai didn't care whether Xie Zhan could come back before spring, as long as he could see people and the one hundred taels of silver before spring started.
It will be just in time to build a house when spring comes.
"You kid, how can you talk?"
This is Xie Zhan.
He was at the home of his subordinate in Xuancheng at this time.
Xuancheng was once the capital of the former dynasty, and its economy was very developed. Even if it snowed, it was still very lively.
"Master, the arrangements have been made." The middle-aged man in official uniform was very respectful to Xie Zhan, "With your reward, in at least two years, Xuancheng will become the granary of the desert, no less than the Southern Dynasty!" Speaking of this!
, he looked extremely excited, "Master, have you met a capable person outside? If he can be used by us..."
Xie Zhan glanced at him lightly, not harshly, but it made him shut up.
"Don't ask too many questions that you shouldn't. Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?"
"My subordinate made a mistake. We are all ready." After enduring it, the middle-aged man still said with concern, "When does the master plan to return to the capital? We are waiting for you to give orders!"
Now the capital is leaderless, and the emperor... If Xie Zhan is not here, something big will happen.
