Chapter 41

(Thanks to the 88th Wind Dancer for 50,000 rewards, thank you for supporting us! I am so strong that I can recommend you and collect it!)

Although the mutton slaughtered in Xue's mansion was already cold, it was still bright red. Da Biao picked up dozens of pounds of mutton in one hand, "It's so fresh, fresh and fat." Li Xiao told him, "Just the big fat sheep that I just slaughtered today, take advantage of the freshness, Uncle Biao, you have to chop the mutton. Let's have mutton hotpot tonight!"

"What is hot pot?" Uncle Biao stared at the mutton in his hand, and asked in confusion.

"Hotpot, that's a good thing. It's the best to eat hotpot mutton in the cold winter." Although millet porridge is healthy, to be honest, Li Xiao's stomach is no longer full. No matter how much millet porridge is, he still has to be a little real oil and water.

Everyone in the farm came out to help move things.

The pig, mutton, chicken, duck, fish, rice, flour, grain, oil and wine on the car were surprised to see these things.

Mr. Zhao came down with a crutch under Wan Niang's support, "Where did these things come from?"

Li Xiao handed the two big white ducks that were still croaking to Zhuzi, and replied with a smile, "I met a noble person today. Not only did I give us cattle, sheep, chicken, duck, rice, flour, grain and oil, but I also had a bigger good thing."

Zhao Lushi, who came with him, bowed, "Tell the villagers a good news. The country bully Zhang Papi was punished by the government. County Magistrate Liu took special care of him to seek justice for the Li family. The 800-yuan loan loan was exempted. In addition, the Li family's mansion was immediately returned to the Li family."

Wan Niang's tears suddenly flowed down her face.

"Sanlang, is this true?"

Li Xiao nodded, "Zhao Lushi said right, it's all true. We meet a noble man this time. Everyone unload the things in the car, and we will go back to take back the house."

Mr. Zhao turned aside.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now."

Xue Wu also smiled and said, "Yes, go and take over the house first."

Seeing everyone's anxious look, Li Xiao agreed with a smile.

Zhao Lu led the way, and he was surrounded by several county yamen runners, Li Xiao, Wanniang, Li Zhen, and followed by Quan Zhuangzi's people.

Everyone is in awe.

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Zhen's face turned red and she was extremely excited. In the past, the infamous reputation of the father and son of the Zhang family made her afraid, and she wanted to tremble when she heard the name, but now the Zhang family has finally made it.

Li Xiao briefly talked about Xue Wu's identity.

"I didn't expect that this Xue Wulang was the son of a general in the court. He was such a good person."

"Our Li family ancestors accumulate virtue and do good deeds from generation to generation, which is also a reward for good people."

The Zhang family was once a lawless local tyrant in Lanxi Township, but no matter how powerful local tyrant is, they cannot beat the government.

Zhao Lushi was just a small county official, and a foreign official who didn't even have a grade. However, he was holding the official document with the county magistrate's seal and directing a few Bai Zhi, but the Zhang family at the gate of the Li's house did not dare to stop him.

After some recitation, Zhao Lushi, the Zhang family, brought the Li family to take over the Zhang family's house.

"Nephew, this Li's house has now returned to the original owner. Uncle, I have ordered that the Zhang family in the house be cleared out immediately, and no matter how many clothes or trees you have on your body, you are not allowed to bring out. From now on, everything in this house will belong to the Li family."

Zhao Lushi smiled and said to Li Xiao, "He is also giving him a favor. The house was occupied by the Zhang family for several years, and many money and belongings from the Zhang family were stored in it. Now, in one word, everything inside is owned by the Li family."

Anyway, the Zhang family is over, and he is not losing money to give favors from the Zhang family. Even if he has taken Zhang's daughter as a concubine, so what? It's just a concubine, not a wife. Li Xiao is different now. I don't know what luck he has, but he actually got to the Xue family in Hedong, the ranksmen of the right leader. This is a real celebrity in the court.

Not to mention that his immediate boss, County Magistrate Liu, is also a relative of the Xue family. The Li family has been holding on, so he has to find a way to take the initiative to establish a good relationship with the Li family and resolve old grievances.

"Thank you, Zhao Lushi." Li Xiao had no reason to refuse the benefits of delivering them to the door. Anyway, the Zhang family embezzled so many of the Li family's industries, so it would be considered as recovering some interest first.

Standing at the gate of Li's house, this is the first time Li Xiao has looked at the house up close.

It is said to be a big mansion, but in fact it is only compared to the houses of the people in the countryside of Lanxi. The Li family mansion is not very big, which is equivalent to a second courtyard.

The entire house is divided into two layers inside and outside, which is equivalent to expanding longitudinally on the basis of entering the courtyard. A partition wall is added between the south gables of the east and west wing rooms, and is divided into two layers. There are two doors at the closing of the partition walls for entry and exit.

Overall, the yard is not big, with an area of ​​only more than five meters wide from east to west and ten meters wide from north to south, covering an area of ​​less than five hundred square meters.

There is no veranda, and it is not built with bricks. The whole house is made of rammed loess, but the roof is covered with tiles.

In Li Xiao's opinion, this house is ordinary and very old.

But judging from his experience in the Tang Dynasty, this is indeed a luxury house in the countryside. Nowadays, it would be nice to have an ordinary tenant farmer to have a thatched house, and it would be considered good if a self-cultivated farmer could have three thatched houses.

If a family that can build a rammed earth house and bring it to the yard is definitely a rich peasant and small landlord.

Anyone who has a house with a yard and can be covered with tiles on the roof is a big landlord. As for those who can build houses with bricks, they are basically a prominent family.

"Our Li family mansion is also a century-old house. There are seven houses in the north, three main rooms, two ear rooms on both sides, three straight and four ear rooms. There is also one ear room on the south side of the east and west wing rooms!"

Mr. Zhao lived in the Li family compound for many years and was very familiar with this mansion.

Although the Li family mansion is not very eye-catching, there are many rooms, including north and south rooms, wing rooms, ear rooms, etc., which are more than a dozen rooms, which are enough to accommodate dozens of people.

"Pick off the Zhang family's plaque." Li Xiao glanced at the plaque that was still hanging high on the door.

Zhao Lushi hurriedly said, "We have been negligent. You hurry up and take off the plaque, light a fire and burn it at the door. Just in time, let Saburo cross the fire and enter the door, and get rid of bad luck first!"

The plaque was taken off and threw it at the door. Someone brought the wheat straw to cause a fire.

The flames ignited, and the plaque of the Zhang family was swallowed by the flames.

Finally back!

The Li family’s ancestral grave has been preserved, and now the ancestral home is coming back, and the 800-yuan debt that has been pressed on everyone is gone.

Even if the Li family's other industries will not be able to be brought back for a while, at least there is no need to worry and panic as before.

"Wanniang, third sister, let's go home."

"Go home!" Zhao Wan and Li Zhen were holding Li Xiao's arm, each holding tears in their eyes, but smiles on their faces.

"go home!"

The Zhang family in the house had already been driven out. At this time, they were all frightened and stood at the door like a dog with a broken family, lowering their heads, looking at the Li family who had been driven out by them, and they all stood up and stepped into the yard in front of them.
