Arriving not far from Tanxing, Chen Mo ordered Xu Lidong to stop the carriage, and then said goodbye to Huameishu.
"what happened?"
Hua Meishu couldn't figure it out. Chen Mo took the initiative to come to Tanxing, so why did he shrink back at the door?
"Meishu, I drank a little too much at noon and forgot that there are important things to do at home. I'm really sorry."
"Is something really wrong?"
Hua Meishu expressed her doubts, but she felt that Chen Mo was not telling the truth.
cut……
Gao Yue snorted coldly from the side, "I don't think there's anything wrong, but I'm afraid. What have you been doing?"
Chen Mo was too lazy to talk to Gao Yue and apologized to Huameishu again.
"It's true, so I won't go in. When Hua Shibo asks later, I hope you can give me an explanation."
"Okay, since you really have something important to do, I won't force you and go slowly." Huameishu was somewhat disappointed.
"The beginning of winter, let's go."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, the carriage drove directly towards the city gate without making any further stops.
"Meishu, let's go in."
In Gao Yue's eyes, Chen Mo is his biggest love rival. Now that he has left in despair, he naturally has to perform well.
"My affairs have nothing to do with you."
After Hua Meishu finished speaking, he walked straight into the charcoal store.
At this time, Chen Mo was asking Xu Lidong.
"Is there anywhere that sells pens and ink around here?"
"Sir, we have it in the car. It's in the small drawer next to the seat." Xu Lidong said while driving.
"Why is there such a thing in the car?" Chen Mo opened the small drawer and found the pen and ink he needed.
"Wang Po asked me to prepare it. She said that my husband first read poetry and books, and now he has been promoted to an edict. He will definitely use these things often."
"Wang Po is interested."
The longer they got along, the more Chen Mo felt that Mrs. Wang was reliable. If she had not been in the business of lending money and collecting contracts, she would have been a person with a good reputation.
"Sir, do you want to write something or stop the car?" Xu Lidong asked.
"No need, just walk normally. By the way, who is on duty at the city gate today?"
"Sir, my brother is on duty today."
"Let's go find him."
Writing in a moving carriage would definitely not be good, but Chen Mo wanted this effect, and the uglier the handwriting, the better.
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Chen Mo also finished writing what he needed, handed it to Xu Lidong and gave instructions at the same time.
"Go to the magistrate's house to find Butler Hu and ask him to transfer this item to Wang Magistrate. Then the crisis in the charcoal bank will be resolved. By the way, don't drive this carriage over, lest someone with ulterior motives see it and cause trouble.
There will be other troubles.”
"Okay sir, I'll go right away."
After Xu Lidong finished speaking, he handed the carriage to the guards guarding the city and hurried towards the city.
"Brother Chen Mo, what kind of wind is blowing today that brings you here?"
After the soldier's report, Xu Liqiu walked out of the tower with a smile.
"It's nothing. I was passing by here and Lidong said you were on duty, so I came over to take a look." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Please come in quickly, I just have something to tell you."
After welcoming Chen Mo into the door, Xu Liqiu motioned for the others to go out and got straight to the point.
"I have already told Captain Yang about the delivery of supplies. He wants to meet him at some time."
"When?" Chen Mo was very satisfied with Xu Liqiu's work efficiency.
"Look at you, we have slowed down the pace of requisitioning carriages and horses now. Firstly, it is really difficult to handle, and secondly, we are waiting for your news. Let me tell you, Captain Yang is almost dying of worry now. If we really can solve it
This is definitely a huge favor."
"Brother Qiu, I'm a little confused. How did you solve this kind of problem in the past?" Chen Mo never figured it out.
"Usually, if you are really anxious, you have to guard the city gate and force recruitment. But this year is different. The newly appointed magistrate is very tough. He said that if it were a wartime, he would spare no effort to support this matter. But in peacetime, people's livelihood must not be affected.
.”
"I see."
When Chen Mo understood this, he also thought highly of Wang Anshi. He always pretended to be a commoner in his heart, but he was worthy of his official position.
"Brother Qiu, do you think this is okay? Call Captain Yang tomorrow night and ask Lidong to drive to my house. We will discuss it in detail then."
"Why are you going to my brother's house?" Xu Liqiu had no doubts about the time, but what he couldn't understand was the location.
"You'll know when the time comes." Chen Mo deliberately let it slip.
The reason why the location was set at home was actually Chen Mo's plan.
If the prediction is good, after Xu Lidong delivers the things to the magistrate's house, the matter of the charcoal bank will be solved.
After things over there calm down, trouble will soon come to you.
Cao Meng suffered two big losses and would definitely come looking for trouble.
Wang Anshi said that it was very difficult to implement the New Deal, which essentially moved the interests of the aristocratic class.
Chen Mo asked himself, there was no problem in dealing with Wang Fuxing or Wang Quan, and Cao Meng, who was involved in the county government office, could also be dealt with.
The problem is, now the county captain's son has taken action.
In response, Chen Mo must also bring in one or two forces.
Wang Anshi couldn't help directly, so Chen Mo asked Xu Lidong to send something to help him from the side.
Captain Yang is different. He is from the military and is not under the jurisdiction of the county captain at all. He will naturally be able to relax his posture when the time comes.
And this was one of the reasons why Chen Mo insisted on delivering supplies.
At any time, it will be much easier for anyone to do things if they have the military as a backer.
Of course, once it gets involved in trouble, it will be an extreme headache.
Having said that, who can say clearly whether that kind of thing will happen or not? Let’s solve the current problem first.
Speaking of difficult problems, I have to say that Mrs. Wang, facing the aggressive Cao Meng, felt like scolding her.
"Captain Cao, I have explained it many times, this contract document does not count. If you really want to find it, you should go to Chen Mo."
"Wang Po, are you still pretending to be stupid?" Cao Meng's patience has long worn out, "Do you really think I don't know about the matter between you and Chen Mo? On the surface, the charcoal bank belongs to you, but actually
The one who really makes the decision is Chen Mo."
"Captain Cao, what do you want to do?" Wang Po also became a little angry.
"It's simple, just accept this contract document." As he said that, Cao Meng took out the fish bag that symbolized his identity. "This thing belongs to Mr. Zhang. You should know who he is. 20% of the profit is considered a bargain for you."
Already."
"What if it's not cheap?" At this time, Huameishu walked in, "Do you still want to swallow up Tanxing?"
"Hey, the eldest lady of the Hua family is here?"
Cao Meng turned around and shook the fish bag with a sneer.
"Miss Hua is right. If Mrs. Wang still refuses to admit her debt, with this thing I can seal off Tan Xing."
