Suddenly hearing such breaking news, Chen Mo was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, but he knew very well that Mrs. Wang was not here to gossip.
"Wang Po, do you want to take advantage of this to force Wang and his son to make concessions?"
"The old lady does have this idea, but she just doesn't know how to implement it, so she came to Brother Mo to discuss it."
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she gave a detailed explanation of her trip to Qingyang Town Academy that day.
"Brother Mo, if it hadn't been for Butler Hu's intervention, the three old guys would never have vouched for your integrity. When they left, the old lady kept a careful eye on her and sent people to watch outside the academy for a long time. Not only did she learn that
The relationship between Wang Quan and Wang Fuxing, and I also figured out how they plotted against you."
"Either you obey and give up the way of making money from Charcoal, or you expel me from the academy, right?" Chen Mo had already seen through all this.
"That's right, that's why the Baoshan matter is so difficult." Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly, "In the hearts of father and son, you and I are nothing more than a thorn in the flesh."
"Then let's get rid of Huang Zheng first." Chen Mo said thoughtfully, "When the time comes, he and Li Yan will help us speak for us, even if Wang Quan doesn't agree."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Mrs. Wang was still worried, "Brother Mo may not know that the weight of the royal power is much heavier than that of the other two, and hatred must be retaliated. Unfortunately, the old woman has no evidence that can identify the relationship between their father and son, otherwise she would just have to show it.
, I will surely be able to hold them."
"Wang Po, let's do this. I will handle this matter." Chen Mo said and took out a piece of paper. "This is my plan for Huilong Bay. If there is no problem, we will start construction directly."
"Okay, Brother Mo, if you need anything, let me know immediately."
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she waved her hand, and Xu Lidong outside the door stepped forward and handed over the money bag.
"This is one hundred taels of silver. It was originally given to Huang Zheng. Brother Mo will use it first. If the follow-up is not enough, ask Xiao Dongzi to go to the charcoal store to get it at any time."
"No, I have enough money here. Besides, instead of using this money to make Huang Zheng cheaper, it would be better to hire more people and get the charcoal kiln in place as soon as possible."
After Chen Mo refused without hesitation, he went to the desk and took out a booklet.
"Wang Po, when you get back, give this to Miss Hua and ask her to purchase it through the dental shop as soon as possible. It will be of great use in the future."
"Don't worry, Brother Mo, I will definitely take care of it." After saying that, Mrs. Wang walked out, "By the way, in the beginning of winter from now on, apart from driving, I will be studying."
"Thank you, Mrs. Wang, and thank you, sir." Xu Lidong thanked him excitedly.
"Officer, are Wang Po and the others leaving now?" Qin Xianglian had just finished brewing herbal tea.
"Well, let's go, so that you don't have to worry about me selling you out again." Chen Mo teased.
"Officials know how to bully slaves." Qin Xianglian's face turned red with embarrassment.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Chen Mo instructed, "I'll hitch the ox cart while you go get a jar of wine. I'm going out later."
"I'll go to my house right away."
Qin Xianglian didn't ask why, she wouldn't ask now, and she wouldn't ask again in the future.
After the ox cart was hitched, Chen Mo loaded the copper pot and charcoal blocks, carefully put the wine away, said goodbye to Qin Xianglian and headed to Qingyang Town.
As one of the three elders in the town, Huang Zheng lives in the town.
The high-walled courtyard is very grand.
He stopped the car and called the door, and soon a servant came out. After Chen Mo politely expressed his intention, the servant said indifferently that he should go in and report.
"Brother, I am a student at the academy, my name is Chen Mo. I just took the county exam two days ago. I came here specifically to thank Mr. Huang. Please make it a convenience."
Chen Mo said and stuffed a hundred coins into his hand.
As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Huang Zheng was greedy for money, and so were his servants. After receiving the money, his attitude immediately changed, and he took the initiative to help Chen Mo pick up the wine jar.
"Mr. Chen, please come with me."
After entering the door, I came to a pavilion. The servant signaled to wait a moment, and he went to make an announcement.
The servants leave quickly and come back quickly.
But the joy he had just now turned into a helpless smile.
"Mr. Chen, I said I felt a little unwell this morning. I couldn't even eat breakfast, let alone receive guests. Moreover, the results of the county examination will be released today, and I have to rush to the academy later."
Old fox!
Hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly knew something.
Huang Zheng was either putting on a show, or he was still prejudiced against himself because of the incident that day.
But you came here early in the morning, so you can’t just go back, right?
"Brother, do you think this is okay? I'll wait for Mr. Huang here and go to the academy with him later?"
"This..." The servant was in a dilemma.
"Don't worry, I will never mess around." Chen Mo promised.
"Well, Mr. Chen is from the academy and he has brought gifts. I'm sure Mr. Huang won't be too harsh on him." The servant left a few words and left.
Bang……
Just when Chen Mo was thinking about how to see Huang Zheng, a loud noise came from the main hall diagonally opposite.
Immediately afterwards, there was Huang Zheng's angry scolding.
"Huang Shulang, you rebellious son, do you have to tear down your home before you are willing to do it?"
"Dad, I just accidentally bumped into him while practicing martial arts. It was not intentional." Huang Shulang's slightly childish voice was full of dissatisfaction and rebellion.
"You're just practicing martial arts, you're not doing your job properly, let's see if I don't beat you to death today." Huang Zheng almost roared, "Stop, if you run away again I'll break your legs."
"You'd be a fool if you didn't run."
Huang Shulang shouted and jumped out of the main hall.
"You traitor, don't let me catch you." Huang Zhengqi's voice trembled.
"Hey, run here."
Seeing Huang Shulang in a panic, Chen Moji took notice and raised his hand to greet him.
"Who are you?"
Huang Shulang came closer and looked puzzled.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is you. As a martial arts practitioner, how can you escape from battle?" Chen Mo tried to test his words.
"That's my dad, what should I do if I don't run away?" Huang Shulang looked very upright.
"You are right." Chen Mo nodded and then asked, "I heard your quarrel just now. Mr. Huang doesn't want you to practice martial arts, right?"
"That's right, he told me all day long that I am inferior in everything except studying. But I just like to practice martial arts, and I just want to be a hero who can stand upright, isn't that okay?"
"Of course, after three hundred and sixty exercises, you will be the number one scholar." As he said that, Chen Mo changed the subject, "How long have you been practicing martial arts? From which school did you learn?"
"There is no way." Huang Shulang said depressedly, "I begged the old man countless times, but he just refused to let me become an apprentice, so I can only practice at home."
"How can you practice by yourself? You still have to learn from a teacher." Chen Mo shook his head.
"I think the question is where to worship?" Huang Shulang became even more depressed.
"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Chen Mo blinked and smiled.
"you?"
Huang Shulang's expression looked like he had seen a ghost.
"That's right, me."
Nodding, Chen Mo cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
"Let me formally meet you, Chen Mo, the 18th generation leader of Xiaoyao Sect."
