Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 353: Found Such a Good Place for Our Village

Master Bai directly took out two gold bars and stuffed them in. Xiao Sun quickly waved his hand and said, "We in the Longhu Gang are not allowed to charge extra fees to our guests."

"Hey! Hurry and take it. We still need your help with the household registration!"

Xiao Sun then put the gold bar into his purse and said, "Okay, I'll take it. It's a simple matter. I'll arrange for someone to handle it today. Tomorrow you can give me the list of people who need to be registered."

After giving the instructions, Master Bai sent Xiao Sun back to his residence and hurried back to the mountain stronghold.

As soon as they entered the mountain stronghold, Huangmao came over and told Master Bai everything that happened yesterday.

Lin Dachang was shivering with cold. He hadn't eaten all night. When he saw Zhao Qiaoniang, his eyes instantly lit up with anger and he shouted, "Zhao Qiaoniang, what are you thinking? Are you trying to kill me? Untie me immediately!"

Zhao Qiaoniang said with a cold expression, "Let me ask you, what do you want to do in our village?"

Lin Dachang responded with an evasive look: "No, I don't have any plans. I just came over for a stroll, okay?"

After hearing this, Zhao Qiaoniang sneered coldly, her laughter full of ridicule: "Do you still think this mountain stronghold is your home? You can come and go as you please?"

Lin Dachang's face flushed red, he felt embarrassed and annoyed, and he snorted coldly and retorted:

"This mountain stronghold is not yours! Let them go!"

Otherwise, people from Linjia Village will come looking for you, and you will be in big trouble then!"

As he spoke, he struggled hard, but every time he moved, the rope became tighter, causing him to frown in pain.

Zhao Qiaoniang sneered and said, "I'm just worried that the people from Linjia Village won't come!"

"You...what do you mean?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "This mountain is ours now, so you broke into our stronghold and tried to steal things. Do you not need to explain?"

Lin Dachang looked at her and said, "Zhao Qiaoniang, don't be so shameless. I advise you to be sensible and let me go immediately, otherwise I will report you to the police and have you arrested."

"Oh my! I'm so scared!" Zhao Qiaoniang slapped him and said, "Report me to the police? Then report me!"

Zhao Qiaoniang really hated the people in Linjia Village, but these people just loved to show off in front of her.

As expected, the people from Linjia Village arrived very quickly. There were hundreds of them. Old Lady Lin looked at the village and said,

"Hey, look at this cottage, it's really impressive!

If all the people from our village moved here at once, we could accommodate them."

Her face was filled with smiles. She turned to look at Zhao Qiaoniang, her eyes full of praise: "Qiaoniang, you are really capable. You found such a good place for our village."

An old lady from the village also raised her voice and said:

"That's right! I've always thought Qiao Niang was special.

I didn’t expect to find such a good place to stay in the mountains. It’s amazing!”

A woman holding a child also came over and said with a smile:

"Qiao Niang, if it weren't for you, we villagers wouldn't know how long we would have to endure in that broken village!

This place is spacious and solid, and it will definitely be comfortable to live in.”

Zhao Qiaoniang had a faint smile on her lips and spoke slowly:

"I called you here today to tell you this. If you want to redeem Lin Dachang, you must pay a ransom of 500 taels.

Otherwise, I will break his legs, cut off his tongue, and break his hands, and make him spend the rest of his life in this village, working like a slave for us."

When Old Lady Lin heard this, the color on her face instantly faded, turning as pale as paper, and her lips trembled uncontrollably:

"Zhao Qiaoniang, why are you so cruel now? Why do you want 500 taels from us?

This is a huge sum of money, where can we get it?"

Zhao Qiaoniang sneered, her laughter full of sarcasm:

"Hmph, that depends on whether you want him to pass the imperial examination.

You all know that there can't be any stain on one's academic achievement. What if I ruined him in this mountain village, made him a cripple, or he had a dark history of being caught stealing?

Not to mention that the examiner will look down on you, even if it gets out, the reputation of your Linjia Village will be ruined.

By then, do you still expect him to bring honor to the family? Don’t dream! "

Lin Dasheng shouted loudly:

"Are you obsessed with money now? He's your uncle, how could you treat him like this?

Do you think that if you do this, our child will be fine? You don't even think about Lin Song and Lin Bo!"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him coldly and said:

"Lin Dachang was a petty thief who had to go to the village to steal things! People like him deserve to be killed.

When he did this, why didn't he think about how it would implicate you?

Since you say so, I will just break his arms and legs and turn him into a cripple. That way, my child won’t be implicated.”

After hearing what Zhao Qiaoniang said, Zhao Lei and Liang Tieshan rushed forward and held down Lin Dachang. Lin Dachang struggled desperately, shouting, "Let me go! Let me go! Mom and Dad, my wife, please save me!"

Old Man Lin stood up eagerly and said:

"Zhao Qiaoniang, don't go too far! We are a family after all, and we are still connected by bones!

If you do this, you will cut off your own escape route."

Sun Mei was also stamping her feet anxiously, her eyes red and her voice tinged with tears: "Yes, yes, you should let him go! If you really beat him to death, it won't be good for the child!"

Zhao Qiaoniang's tone was calm: "Which child is he being bad to? I don't see it. Since he chose to steal, he must pay the price."

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face flushed red instantly, and her emotions completely lost control. She yelled at the top of her voice:

"No! I only have this one son, no! My son is going to be the top scholar in the future.

If you dare to touch him, I will fight you! I will never let you off easily!"

Zhao Qiaoniang ignored the threats from Old Lady Lin. She looked calm, turned to look at Huangmao, raised her chin slightly, and signaled him to take action.

Huangmao immediately understood what he meant and strode to Lin Dachang's side. He held a dagger in his hand and pointed it at Lin Dachang's hand and said, "From now on, I will chop off your fingers one by one. If you don't pay me, you won't be able to save your fingers."

Lin Dachang was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper and his whole body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

His eyes turned red, and tears flowed down like a dam bursting. His mouth opened wide: "No, no! I was wrong, I was really wrong! Dasheng, please save me!"

Old Mrs. Lin rushed towards Lin Dachang, shouting, "My son!"

Mulan was quick-witted and quick-handed. She took a step forward and pushed Old Lady Lin to the ground.

Mulan shouted:

"Don't you think about it? Why did you feel so at ease when you bullied others in the past?

Now that someone is bullying you, why are you unhappy? And you guys came to us to be bullied, you totally deserve it! "
