When he heard that Mo Jingcheng wanted to buy a water tree, the village head Li of Taohua Village didn't agree immediately, but squinted at the past.

"Buy water trees?" Village head Li took a puff on his pipe, waved his hands to chase away people, "There are none here."

Mo Jingcheng, who had already expected to be rejected, smiled and beckoned A Jin to bring up the money, "Mo has prepared a small gift, and please accept it with a smile from Village Chief Li."

A white ingot of silver shone in front of Village Chief Li, and the latter's eyes lit up immediately, he glanced around, and quickly put it into his sleeves.

Although he didn't immediately agree to sell the tree, his attitude has eased a lot.

Mo Jingcheng was not in a hurry, and took a roundabout tactic against this cunning old fox.Now that the attitude is relaxed, there must still be water saplings. As long as this is confirmed, the next plan will be easy to use.

Taking a sideways look at Mo Jingcheng's attire, Village Chief Li reckoned in his heart that this man should be a rich man, but he didn't know what this cold-tempered man wanted water saplings for.

"What's the use of Mr. Mo wanting fifty water saplings?"

If he sold the saplings casually and made a mistake, his life would be in danger.If you do too many crooked things like this, you will always be more cautious.

"Naturally it has some uses." Mo Jingcheng squinted his eyes and leaned over and whispered, and moved out the remarks he had prepared a long time ago, "The Mo family will plant the water saplings in the sweet-scented osmanthus village, so that they can take advantage of the panic caused by the drought." Buy the fields in their villages from time to time."

Then, he took out some silver taels from his sleeve and showed it in front of Village Chief Li, but before the other party saw it clearly, he immediately took it back to whet the other party's appetite.

"If the matter is accomplished, we will give you ten times the amount of money. Our Mofu in Osmanthus Town is not short of money."

Sure enough, Village Chief Li stretched out his neck the moment he saw Yin Zi.The second the silver was withdrawn from his cuff, he changed his face.

He knows about Mo Mansion in Osmanthus Town, and in the entire Xinghua City, no one can compare with the wealthy. Although he doesn't know the use of Mo Mansion's acquisition of the small fields in Osmanthus Village, he has no interest in knowing.

He is just a small village head who draws relief money, ask him what is the business of it.

In order to further gain the trust of Village Chief Li, Mo Jingcheng ordered Ah Jin to retreat.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were only two people left in the house, Mo Jingcheng said bluntly: "I heard from an acquaintance that the head of Taohua Village came all the way to sell water trees. Don't let the head of the village let us down in the Mo family!" .”

Just now he used fifty water saplings to test him, but the other party did not refute, so Mo Jingcheng guessed that the other party kept the saplings for trading.

Since they were unwilling to sell at the beginning, they were worried that the strangers were espionage, so they were all acquaintances secretly making transactions.

They are all tricks of the future world. Mo Jingcheng has seen too many tricks like this.

Sure enough, when he heard that he was introduced by an acquaintance, Village Chief Li burst into a smile, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and the arrogant look turned into a flattering look in an instant.

"That's natural, Mr. Mo, just fifty water saplings? We have as many seedlings as we want in Peach Blossom Village, you can just buy them."

Mo Jingcheng glanced at him, "Fifty is enough. But I want to see the quality of the water saplings for myself. How about buying them for 100 taels?"

He wanted to hear that the other party wanted to check the water saplings in person, but Village Chief Li, who was unwilling to disclose the location of the saplings, hesitated.But when he heard the offer, he immediately nodded and agreed.

This is nearly ten times more silver than the usual price!

"Of course there is no problem. Young Master, please wait, and I will go get the key." Village Chief Li showed a flattering smile, "The sapling is hidden deep in the mountains, and I am afraid that the government will investigate."

In order to gain the trust of Village Chief Li, Mo Jingcheng deliberately asked Ah Jin to stay, and went to the place where the saplings were hidden with him alone.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Mo Jingcheng would reveal his location, the old fox deliberately led Mo Jingcheng around several paths, then turned his head and smiled apologetically and led Mo Jingcheng into a dark path.

"Mr. Mo, I'm really sorry. I forgot the road. The end of this road is here."

Looking at it from a distance, I saw that there was no light in this dark road, and the withered trees stood there so gloomy and frightening.If someone accidentally broke into this place, they would turn their heads and run away in fear.

He was well aware of the old fox's scheming, but Mo Jingcheng just smiled indifferently, and cursed impatiently in order to make the other party feel that he was not interested in this road.

"It doesn't matter which way you go, I just want to see what the saplings look like."

Even so, Kezhi had already recorded this complicated route in his brain, and even automatically differentiated a map of a small road.

Seeing the shortcut that automatically popped up in Zhizhi's brain, Mo Jingcheng sneered disdainfully.It really was an old fox, and he traveled nearly five li.

Hearing what Mo Jingcheng said, the old fox narrowed his eyes with a smile, relaxed his vigilance and quickened his pace.

The place where the water tree is hidden is located in a house deep in the mountains, which looks like a dilapidated dilapidated house from the outside.When I opened the door, I found that there were nearly hundreds of saplings hidden inside, all neatly stacked together.

If all these hundreds of saplings were planted, the entire Xinghua City would be squeezed dry.

But Mo Jingcheng didn't show it, but gave the saplings a disdainful glance, walked over to look over a few, turned his head and said in disbelief: "I saw the tree, but how do I know if this water tree can make the field grow?" Is it the effect of drought?"

"I just heard about it, I didn't see it with my own eyes. I can't spend the 100 taels in vain."

Seeing that the flesh in his mouth was about to fly again, Village Chief Li didn't care about his composure, and his forehead was immediately covered with profuse sweat.

"Mr. Li, the people in Xinghua Village asked me to buy tree seeds two months ago. You can go to Xinghua Village to see how their fields are doing. I helped plant the twenty saplings. !"

The water tree bought by the people of Xinghua Village?Mo Jingcheng frowned.

But Mo Jingcheng gave him a look of disbelief, "How do I know whether you are talking nonsense or human?"

This time, Village Chief Li was really in a hurry. He took out a small ledger from the hidden wall, and pointed out a page to him, "Look, it's written all over it."

Looking at the name on it, Mo Jingcheng was secretly surprised.

He had heard the village chief praise this name once or twice, saying that Dao was a smart, sensible and willing person.

I thought the old fox had made up a false name, but there are fingerprints on the account book, so it is impossible to fake it, and it is of no benefit to the old fox.

Mo Jingcheng waved his hand, and shook off the account book with an expression of disinterest, "Trust me, the 50 taels of silver is considered a deposit. I will send a quick letter back to Mo's residence, and I will bring someone to pick up the saplings in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Smiling and accepting 50 taels, the old fox vigilantly bit his teeth hard to prove the authenticity.

Seeing that the silver was real, the old fox reminded with a smile: "Mr. Mo, by the way, I would like to remind you that this tree is not allowed to be planted by the government, so don't let the government see it. As long as it is at the end of spring, you can use a reason to cut it down. Nothing will happen."

After finishing speaking, he squinted his eyes again, turned around and stuffed the ledger back on the wall.

After telling everyone what the old fox did, everyone took a breath.

The village chief's eyes widened, "How could that kid do such a thing? The villagers treat him well. Why did he harm Xinghua Village like this?"

The person who planted the water tree in Xinghua Village was surnamed Zhang. He was rescued by a lady in the village when he was living in Xinghua Village.Later, this man was admitted as a scholar and became the youngest scholar in the village.

It's just that for some unknown reason, this Zhang Xiucai couldn't pass the Juren examination.

Zhang Xiucai also seemed to accept his fate. He burned all his books and devoted himself to serving his godmother. Later, he married a wife and had children. His life was quite good, but his family was poor.

As for why he did this, only he himself knows.

Mo Jingcheng drew all the shortcuts to the place where the saplings were placed in his mind on the blueprint, thought about it, and wrote down the place where the account books were placed.

"I counted. There are fifteen water trees in Xinghua Village. Surname Zhang bought twenty saplings, and there should be five left. This sapling is about one tael of silver, and he probably won't be willing to throw it away. .”

In the end, Mo Jingcheng analyzed again: "It should be hidden by him."

He didn't say what happened next, but everyone knew it.

As long as the five saplings are found and the old nest of Village Chief Li is dug, the government will not be able to stop their mouths.

But the village chief was silent for a moment, and closed his eyes sadly, "The boy surnamed Zhang was only ten years old when he was exiled in Xinghua Village. He was well-behaved and sensible. If he reported to the official

"Village Chief." Mo Jingcheng interrupted him, with a little coldness in his eyes, "He has broken the law, even if you want to protect him, it may not help."

In the end, he reminded coldly: "Don't let yourself be involved because of a momentary soft-heartedness."

Mo Jingcheng had never seen Mo Jingcheng say such heartless words with a cold face. The village head and Ning Yuping were both taken aback for a moment, and soon understood the meaning of his words.

As the head of a village, the biggest role in the village is to mediate among them, not to cause a big mistake because of temporary favoritism.

But no one could explain this feeling of being blocked in the heart, and the village chief didn't immediately agree to report to the officials, obviously he didn't fully accept such a thing.

If the stalemate continued like this, nothing could be changed, so Mo Jingcheng and Fang Yun went back first.And those blueprints were brought back by Mo Jingcheng.

"Since the village chief is still hesitating, it's inconvenient for me to let the village chief keep this paper."

It is human nature to be unable to accept that the boy I watched growing up do such a thing for a while, but Mo Jingcheng has been completely controlled by the warning of his brain, and everything is carried out in the best way.

Even he himself didn't realize that he had lost his usual warmth.

Before leaving, the village chief called Mo Jingcheng to stop him, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say anything.

Ah Jin has already gone back to the yard to clean up the house. They will stay in Xinghua Village tonight. Today has been a busy day, and Fang Yun is pregnant again, so he can't be so tired.

Walking on the road, Mo Jingcheng held Fang Yun's hand, but his eyes looking straight ahead were faint, with a trace of scarlet hidden in them.

He didn't notice that Fang Yun's body was trembling slightly when his brain started to mess up.

Things suddenly relaxed, and his brain began to beep again, which disturbed him a lot.As soon as he got angry, the strength in his hand couldn't help but increase.

"Well."

Fang Yun hummed softly in pain.

Fu Lang's painful snort brought Mo Jingcheng back to his senses in an instant, and when he let go of his hand and hurriedly lowered his head to check, he found that Fu Lang's hand was red all over, and it was all from pinching him just now.

"Rainbow"

"Snapped!"

Mo Jingcheng was stunned, feeling the burning pain on the back of his hand, and stared at Fang Yun in astonishment.

I saw Fang Yun tightly covering his hand, and looked over in panic.Under the setting sun, Fang Yun's eyes were a little bright.

But unlike in the past, there was fear hidden in those star eyes.

Before Mo Jingcheng could speak, Fang Yun stepped back in panic, his eyes filled with tears, and even the tip of his nose turned red.

Not knowing why Fang Yun did this suddenly, Mo Jingcheng took a step towards him, but Fang Yun shook his head and stepped back.

"Husband," Fang Yun called softly with tears in his eyes, "Rain Dash is very scared."

Mo Jingcheng was taken aback, and the non-stop alarm sound in Zhizhi's head finally stopped.
