Chapter 179 Take a look at the customs and customs here
Zhao Zeqiang grabbed Zhao Zechuan and said, "In front of so many people, don't talk nonsense."
Zhao Zechuan shook off his elder brother's restraint and said displeasedly: "Brother, the more you show that you are afraid of them, the more proud the Cui family will be. You are fueling their arrogance."
After saying this, Zhao Zechuan broke free from Zhao Zeqiang's grasp and came to Mo Jiuye again.
"Brother, please give me a ride. I can pay the fare."
While he was talking, Zhao Zechuan had already taken out three copper plates and placed them in his palm to show Mo Jiuye.
The fare or not was secondary. This was the first time Mo Jiuye saw someone in Xiling Village who was not afraid of the Cao family.
Therefore, he was willing to give Zhao Zechuan a ride, and he could also learn about the situation in Xiling Village through chatting on the way.
"My car is not for carrying passengers. We live in the same village, so it doesn't hurt to give you a ride."
Zhao Zechuan was not one to be coy. After listening to Mo Jiuye's words, he directly put away the copper plate.
"In that case, thank you very much, brother."
He Zhiran was in the carriage, so Mo Jiuye asked Zhao Zechuan to sit on the carriage board with him.
The mule cart drove away slowly under the complicated gaze of everyone.
Everyone looked at Zhao Zeqiang with sympathy, and were worried about what kind of trouble this would cause if the Cui family knew about it...
On the way to Yuncheng.
Mo Jiuye drove the mule cart and asked with interest: "Are you really not afraid of the Cui family?"
Zhao Zechuan first looked at Mo Jiuye carefully, and then said with a wry smile: "Actually, if I do this today, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Cui family, and they will also bring people to my house to cause trouble.
I was thinking, since we are all the same farmers, who is superior to others, why should our Zhao family be suppressed by the Cui family?
Is it just because the Cui family has a relative who is a county magistrate?"
From what Zhao Zechuan said, he had made up his mind to go against the Cui family.
"Aren't you worried that your family will suffer?"
Zhao Zechuan sighed: "To tell you the truth, among the three families in Xiling Village, my Zhao family has the largest number of members. If we really want to fight against the Cui family, the Cui family may not be able to win.
It's a pity that the Zhao family is too timid and always wants to make peace with things when they happen. As a result, the Cui family eats them up every time they come and go.
What I did today is partly intentional. I have been studying since I was a child, and now I have passed the Tongsheng Examination. My tribe has high expectations for me, and they all hope that I will be able to pass the exam to become an official and a half-level official in the future.
Have the confidence to resist the Cui family.
But in the past few years, the Cui family has gone too far. Not only did they suppress the Zhao family and Zhou family, they even occupied our land.
I cannot tolerate this kind of thing, so I have called on everyone to resist, but I never thought that the Zhao family's fear of the Cui family is deeply ingrained and I cannot change them."
Hearing this, Mo Jiuye looked at Zhao Zechuan with admiration.
"You deliberately took my mule cart today just to see if the Cui family would protect you when they went to the Zhao family to cause trouble for you?"
Zhao Zechuan nodded: "As the elder brother said, I really want to take this opportunity to change the minds of the people."
Mo Jiuye didn't know whether Zhao Zechuan's plan would succeed, but he was certain that the Cui family was already going further and further on the road to committing suicide.
Cui Xiancheng was seriously injured by Liang Hao and others last night. According to the laws of the Dashun Dynasty, the officials appointed were not allowed to have mutilated people.
Presumably his career as an official has ended here.
The Cui family does not have the support of a relative who is the county magistrate, so what will they rely on to show off their power in the future?
I believe this matter has spread in Yuncheng, and Zhao Zechuan will find out after entering the city.
Entering Yuncheng, Mo Jiuye discovered a strange phenomenon.
It was already this time, and the doors of several medical clinics were all closed. Although the doors were crowded with people who wanted to see a doctor, there was no sign that the medical clinics were open for business.
Zhao Zechuan also noticed this.
"Why are no hospitals open today?"
Mo Jiuye had already made a rough guess about this.
It's just that Cui County Cheng was overbearing and invited all the doctors to see his injuries.
However, it was impossible for him to personally help Zhao Zechuan resolve such matters.
Looking at the street again, a group of three or two officials were carrying big swords in their hands, searching house to house.
Mo Jiuye turned a blind eye and drove the mule cart forward.
Not far out, I happened to encounter Ma Junshan patrolling the street with two officers.
Mo Jiuye drove the mule cart towards him.
Ma Junshan saw him at a glance and took the lead in saying hello.
"Why did you enter the city?"
Mo Jiuye also noticed that this official was a familiar person.
Therefore, he was not too polite.
"I took my wife into the city to buy some medicine. I don't know why the medical clinics in the city are closed today?"
Hearing this, Ma Junshan looked around, then approached Mo Jiuye and said:
"Last night, the county magistrate was injured by several masked men. Before dawn, he sent people to invite all the doctors from the medical clinics to the mansion for treatment."
Mo Jiuye had already guessed the reason for this. The reason he asked this was because he wanted to pretend to learn about it from others.
Although Ma Junshan's voice was not loud when he spoke, he was still heard clearly by Zhao Zechuan, who was sitting next to Mo Jiuye.
At this time, Zhao Zechuan did not want to go to school anymore. He wanted to return to the village to tell his family the exciting news.
I believe that after they learn that Cui Xiancheng suffered such an injury, they no longer have to worry about the Cui family coming to trouble him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zechuan jumped out of the car.
"Brother, thank you for taking me to the city today. I have something urgent, so I will go first."
Mo Jiuye could tell from Zhao Zechuan's expression how excited he was at the moment.
"good."
Zhao Zechuan no longer cared about being too polite and ran quickly towards the way he came.
Ma Junshan and Mo Jiuye said a few more words and left with others.
When He Zhiran heard that everyone outside was leaving, he opened the curtain and came out.
"Husband, where should we go first?"
The two of them came to Yuncheng just to find a reason for the antidote to come to light. As for where to spend their time, they had no plans.
Mo Jiuye looked at the sky and saw that it was still early.
"Let's just walk around the streets and take a look at the local customs."
Indeed, they are new arrivals and will live here for a long time in the future, so they really need to know more about it.
Mo Jiuye drove the mule cart and walked aimlessly on the street.
Probably because Cui Xiancheng was injured, the streets were full of official officials.
Despite this, it did not affect the normal life of the people.
Except for the medical clinic, all other shops are open for business normally, and you can still see some vendors doing business on the roadside from time to time.
In order to inquire about Cui County Cheng's situation, Mo Jiuye deliberately drove the mule cart towards his house.
It was true that the road was narrow. When they were some distance away from Cui's house, they met Cui Lizheng and his party head-on.
