Li Mo and song Dashan stayed in Duwei's house for another night. The next morning, they packed up and prepared to go home.

Mei Zi and the two children were scared to death when they were arrested that day. They didn't go home these two days. They didn't hear from each other. They didn't know how to worry. They couldn't stay any longer. They had to go back early.

Song Dashan drives his donkey cart, carrying Li Mo, back home. Behind him, Sima Haoran and a team of people follow him.

Li Mo estimates that this is to go to the magistrate for trouble. Sure enough, after arriving at the town, Sima Haoran and his men went directly to the county government, only to let song Dashan wait for his news.

Song Dashan and Sima Haoran agreed to take Li Mo home in a donkey cart.

The door of the courtyard was open, and song Dashan drove the donkey cart back to the courtyard.

I guess I heard the voice in the yard. Mei Zi was the first one to rush out. When she saw Li Mo and song Dashan, her eyes burst into tears. She seemed to cry in disbelief: "brother, sister-in-law, it's you. You're back!"

Xiao Bao, who ran out with Mei Zi, said nothing, but rushed to Li Mo like a small shell, hugged Li Mo's leg and choked with a voice, "Niang, Niang, Niang..."

Xiao Bao called Niang again and again, and let Li Mo's tears flow out. He quickly took Xiao Bao into his arms and kissed his face to comfort him, "Xiaobao, darling, Niang and dad are back. It's OK Don't be afraid. "

But Xiaobao still clings to Li Mo's neck, as if he is going to lose it in the next second.

Li Mo's heart is sad, this time, really scared the child.

Mei Zi and tie Zi also ran to him with the little tree in their arms, both of them looked haggard.

Mei Zi looked at Li Mo and song Dashan, and made sure they were back in good condition. Her voice trembled and said, "sister-in-law, you are really back safe! We can't find you. If you don't come back, we really don't know what to do. We're going crazy! "

Song Dashan patted Meizi and tiezi on the shoulder. "It's OK. We're back. We'll be OK in the future. Don't worry." Said, leading a few people to the house, "go, we come into the house again."

Several people came into the room and sat around the table. At this time, song Dashan said the things of the two days.

The children didn't understand, but Mei Zi and tie Zi were in ups and downs.

When song Dashan finished speaking, Mei Zi was so angry that she patted the table. "This magistrate is really bad. If my brother hadn't known the newly appointed Duwei, our family would have been killed this time."

Iron son very remorse, "this time really scared us to death, all blame me at that time not at home, otherwise elder brother a person also won't be injured so heavy, sister-in-law also won't be taken away so easily."

Li Mo said: "well, well, don't blame yourself. This time it's lucky. It's the most important thing for the family to be together safely. Don't say anything. We'll make some dishes at noon to celebrate. It's a good way to get rid of bad luck for our family."

Plum immediately stood up, "is this reason, I'm going to prepare food, sister-in-law, you and brother have a good rest, I and tie Zi come on, this noon must celebrate."

Mei Zi and tie Zi go to the back to prepare the meal. At this time, Li Mo asks song Dashan about Qi Si Ma Haoran, "Dashan, how does Sima plan to deal with the magistrate? He should not have the right to move the magistrate. If he does, will it bring trouble to Sima? "

In principle, this matter is not a big mistake for the county magistrate. In the eyes of the people above, it is estimated that it is a small mistake that is not worth mentioning. Even if it is reported to the imperial court, it will not be punished. Even if it is to be punished, it will not be in the charge of the Duwei. Li Mo is afraid that Sima's forced management of this matter will bring trouble to him.

Song Dashan took Li Mo's hand and said, "if this matter is done on a business basis, it's really not a big deal, and the county magistrate can't be punished. But Sima's family background is unusual. For us ordinary people, the county magistrate is a high-ranking official who can take charge of our life and death, but for Sima, it's very easy to punish him. Sima didn't plan to do anything to the magistrate today. He just wanted to scare him. The real punishment is in the back. " Then he said with a deep smile, "the magistrate will never want to be promoted in his life, and will never want to be his comfortable parent again. At that time, there will be a good place for him to go. I'm afraid he won't be able to show off his prestige."

Listening to song Dashan's words, Li Mo could guess what Sima was going to do to the magistrate. He just felt that he was angry.

As a result, not long after the family had dinner, Sima Haoran came with his men and horses. What's more unexpected is that the magistrate also came with him and was thrown into the house by Sima Haoran with his collar.

Before Li Mo and song Dashan could react, "Dong Dong Dong" knocked down their heads.

"Song Xianggong, song Niangzi, I'm sorry. It's my fault. It's all my fault. I'm just in vain to be a parent official. Please forgive me. I'm willing to make it up to you."Li Mo is a little confused, looking at the people who bullied them before. Suddenly, she can't react. My parents and officials are so dignified that they kneel down and kowtow to their common people and admit their mistakes. How could they be so scared.

Take a look at the magistrate who is still kneeling on the ground, and then take a look at Sima Haoran who is drinking tea leisurely. For the first time, Li Mo realized the great benefits of power and status brought by the ancient feudal system.

This is the right, this is the status, in front of people who are more powerful than you, you have to nest, you have to put down dignity, you have to be at the mercy of others. Before them, they were at the bottom. In the face of the power tactics of the county magistrate, they could only yield and be hurt. But in the face of higher rights, those who hurt them also had to bow their heads and could do nothing.

This is the cruel feudal system.

After a long confession, Sima Haoran said, "well, don't kneel. Kneeling again can't make up for the damage you've brought to the people. Get up."

The magistrate looked at Sima Haoran with fear, and stood up with trembling voice. "Yes, what the adults said is that I will make up for my mistakes. This is my compensation for the song Xianggong family." Then he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to song Dashan in a trembling way. "Mr. Song, I've been confused for a while. That's why I made such mistakes. You and your wife suffered. This is my compensation for you. You must accept it."

Li Mo looked at the pile of silver bills in front of him and looked at them curiously. This is the first time that she has come here to see what a banknote looks like. There is a sum on it. Each banknote is one hundred Liang.

It's too much money. For ordinary farmers, all the savings of a family can add up to only a few dozen taels at most. It's really a big impact to see so many banknotes all of a sudden. It's just that Li Mo has seen too much money in modern times, so he doesn't have any special feeling.

Song Dashan looked at the silver note that the magistrate insisted on handing over. Instead of accepting it, he looked at Sima Haoran.

It's too much money. Even if we have to compensate, we don't need so much money. Medical expenses plus other compensation can be as much as 20 Liang at most. If we accept so much money from the magistrate, we feel that we are accepting his bribes. Can Sima punish the magistrate again?

As if knowing song Dashan's worries, Sima Haoran laughed and said: "Dashan, this is the compensation you should get. You were beaten so badly by his people, and your sister-in-law was also injured. How can you recuperate well? Shouldn't the magistrate compensate for this loss? Are you right, magistrate? "

The sweat on the magistrate's face was running down, and there was no time to wipe it. He immediately nodded as if he were pounding garlic. "Yes, I should make compensation. I must make compensation. Please accept the money. If you don't accept it, I can't sleep and eat well."

"This..." Song Dashan looks at Li mo.

Li Mo is not a virgin. This time, the whole family was scared to death. Song Dashan was beaten all over. She didn't want to take care of her in a few months. She hated the magistrate and couldn't refuse the so-called compensation. The compensation should have been given to their family.

But Li Mo knows that the real punishment is still behind. Sima Haoran wants to give the magistrate the biggest punishment in his official position. There will be no good fruit to eat behind the magistrate. Therefore, her hatred can be calmed down, and there is no saying that she should take money to dispel her hatred. Therefore, this compensation should be taken, but she will only take the compensation she gets.

According to the modern compensation law, the medical expenses plus the nutrition expenses, plus the work delay expenses, plus the mental loss expenses of a family, do not exceed one hundred Liang. For them, a silver note is enough.

Li Mo said to song Dashan, "Dashan, we deserve this compensation, but we don't need so much. Just take one."

Song Dashan fully supports Li mo. if he accepts only one silver note, he says to the magistrate, "we deserve the money. If you take back the money, we can't afford it."

"This..." the magistrate saw that song Dashan refused to accept it all, and immediately looked at Sima Haoran in fear. He didn't understand what to do now.

Sima Haoran looked at Li Mo, his eyes flashed a trace of appreciation, nodded to the magistrate, "since my brother and sister-in-law only accept so much, you can take back the rest."

The magistrate was relieved to hear Sima Haoran say so. He took back the rest of the banknotes and estimated that the matter was almost over. He looked at Sima Haoran with expectation and flattered him: "then, my Lord, this matter is over, isn't it? Won't you pursue it again? "

Sima Haoran raised his eyes and glanced at the magistrate. With a smile, he waved his hand. "You don't need to stay here. Go back. I have my own arrangement."

The magistrate didn't get a definite reply. He was uneasy and couldn't help asking: "this... Adult..."

but Sima Haoran's eyebrows were sharp and straight to stare at the magistrate. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say more and immediately turned around and ran away.

Until the magistrate disappeared, song Dashan sat down with a smile and patted Sima Haoran on the shoulder. "Sima, you've really helped me a lot. Thank you."

Li Mo also toward Sima Haoran blessing a gift, "Sima, thank you, we are grateful."

See elder brother and sister-in-law all expressed thanks, plum and iron son also hurriedly follow thanks.Sima Haoran frowned and said impatiently, "don't do this. I'm most tired of it. If you still do this, I'll be angry."

Song Dashan understood Sima Haoran's temper and said with a smile, "OK, no thanks, no thanks. But we have nothing to entertain you when you come here. You can stay and have a meal. When you come to my house, you can't help but have a meal."

Sima Haoran nodded his head this time, "OK, of course you can eat."

Li Mo smell speech, immediately call over tie Zi, "tie Zi, you can also drive, you go to town now, buy some meat, buy two fish, and bring a few big jars of wine back. It's a lot of meat, and some of your men want to eat it. "

Tie Zi nodded, "sister-in-law, I know, give it to me, you can rest assured."

Tie Zi goes to town. Li Mo asks song Dashan to take Sima Haoran to the back flower garden. By the way, she takes Mei Zi to Aunt Zhao's house to borrow enough tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. By the way, she asks sister Lanhua to help. There are too many people in the evening, so she has to cook two tables. She can't help if there are too few people.

When I went to Aunt Zhao's house, the Zhao family naturally asked about Li mo. the whole village knew what had happened that day, but they didn't know what was going on. Some people speculated that Li Mo's family had offended a big man.

The Zhao family also worried about this for several days.

Li Mo tried to explain as simply as possible. He only said that he could get out of danger with the help of a noble man, but he didn't say clearly the identity of Sima Haoran.

When Aunt Zhao learned that Li Mo and song Dashan were OK, she wanted to give a good reception to the distinguished guests tonight. Naturally, she did her best to help. She took out all the good dishes and chopsticks at home and asked Zhao changbang to deliver the tables and chairs directly. She also asked her two daughters-in-law to help.

With the help of two sisters-in-law, the work was very busy. Before it was dark, the rich food on the two tables was ready.

Li Mo's family and Sima Haoran sit at the same table, and Sima Haoran's subordinates sit at the same table.

Song Dashan filled Sima Haoran with wine. "Brother, I don't thank you for your kindness. I respect you for this bowl of wine." Then he looked up and drank.

Sima Haoran laughed, and then he looked up and drank a bowl, "OK, have a good time! We used to drink like this when we were in the barracks. "

Song Dashan laughed, and then poured the wine to Sima Haoran, "then we'll have a good drink today. If we don't get drunk, we won't go back."

"Well, if you don't get drunk, you won't come back."

At the end of the meal, song Dashan and Sima Haoran were both flushed and had a good time.

Li Mo originally wanted to stay them here for one night, but Sima Haoran shook his head and refused, "there will be business tomorrow. It's not easy to delay. I have to go back to the city tonight. Thank you for your kindness. I'll have a good drink with Dashan next time I'm free."

Then he hugged song Dashan and told him to go to the city next time.

Li Mo doesn't want to stay any longer. Together with song Dashan, he sends Sima Haoran out of the village. In the night, he watches a group of people leave the village and gradually disappears into the field of vision.
