Everyone looked at each other, and then acted as if they had lost their memory. What? I don't know. I don't understand what you are saying.
Mr. Zeng rolled his eyes, what a shameless bunch of guys. "Miss San, on behalf of the officers, I want to tell you that from now on, all actions will be under your command."
He voluntarily gave up control. It is a fact that his ability is not as good as Mu Wanqing.
The achievements are so brilliant that no one can compete with them.
More importantly, if you don’t give them benefits, why would they help you get rich?
Mu Wanqing looks calm and composed, but she is actually very strong-willed and likes to keep everything around her firmly under her control.
"There is only one thing, the exiled prisoners on the list must arrive in Liangcheng within the specified time." This is his bottom line.
"Okay." Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, and within a few words, the highest voice in this team officially fell into her hands.
Shen Yong was anxious. How could someone beat him to the punch? "Miss San, we will follow your lead from now on. If you say east, we won't dare to go west. If you say the sky is square and the earth is round, we will never dare to say the sky is round and the earth is square."
Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched, "They are all round."
Shen Yong said that the truth was not important, what was important was to show loyalty! "You are right, absolutely right, it is round, and I do not accept any objection."
Mr. Zeng couldn't help but glare at him. He was trying too hard to please the Third Miss. "Hehe."
Shen Yong glared back, not wanting to be outdone. Who was afraid of who? "What are you laughing at? Do you want to fight?"
Mu Wanqing stroked her forehead and sighed, "Alright, stop making trouble. Everyone can take turns coming in the future. Don't worry. I haven't spent all the money I have."
No matter what, you have to exchange the silver for goods and then resell them to make a profit.
"Let's discuss business first. In the coming days, the two teams must work closely together. This must be done in a secretive manner, but also in a critical moment. I need to understand the real-time situation of the two teams so that I can better manage them."
Mr. Zeng pondered for a while and said, "How about letting Deputy Captain Li and Mu Zicheng serve as liaisons and be responsible for communication between the two sides?"
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "It's feasible."
It’s time for the eldest brother to gain some experience, take on more responsibilities, and strive to be able to stand on his own as soon as possible.
Shen Yong also spoke up, "If there are no accidents, the escort team will stay at the post station, and the delivery team will stay at the inn, keeping a certain distance."
"Okay." Mu Wanqing made the decision directly, with an extremely straightforward style of action.
Mu Zicheng on the side spoke weakly, "I have a suggestion."
Everyone looked over there, and Mu Zicheng felt a little nervous because he was influenced by his father and never stood out. He had a reserved and low-key personality.
Mu Wanqing looked at him encouragingly, "Brother, go ahead."
Mu Zicheng was obviously lacking in confidence. "Let both sides make a record book to record what happened every day, and then send it to Qing'er so that she can control the overall situation."
This is to help my younger sister consolidate her position. Only when my younger sister is well, can the whole family be well.
Mu Wanqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to be so cunning. It was a pleasant surprise. "This is good. I agree. What about you?"
"I agree." Mr. Zeng hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed, "I... am not very good at writing."
He was a yamen runner. He could do some simple handwriting and understand notices written by others.
But, these are two different things.
"Then find someone who can write to help you. You said, let someone write." Mu Wanqing thought these were trivial matters. "There are so many scholars in the Mu and Fang families that we can always pick out one or two. This is called a clerk."
Lord Zeng thought this was a solution, "Then let Second Master Mu come?"
Master Mu was shocked and said, "I can't do it."
He had been suppressed for many years, and was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and felt that he was good for nothing.
Seeing that he lacked confidence, Mu Wanqing did not make things difficult for him. "Let the sisters Mu Jinyao and Mu Xuerong go up. The former is a famous talented woman, and the latter... is more competitive and unwilling to lag behind. Only with competition can there be progress."
"Okay, these two people are capable." Lord Zeng saw with his own eyes that the two sisters managed a group in an orderly manner, which was better than other groups.
Mu Wanqing is forming her own team, placing each of them in key positions for training.
The older generation has been abandoned, and the younger generation is chosen.
Guard Jiang took the initiative to suggest, "Then I'll let Brother Mu Zicheng write it. I'm good at wielding swords and guns, but writing is going to kill me."
He and Mu Zicheng have been together for some time, and the two have become familiar with each other and get along very well.
"Okay, it's decided." Mu Wanqing looked at Master Mu, "Dad, just help me deal with some tedious things."
"Okay." This time, Mr. Mu did not refuse. He felt particularly at ease working with his daughter in mind.
No one slept that night. Their eyes were red from staying up late, but they were still very excited.
The future route was planned, as well as various early warning plans along the way, how to coordinate and arrange personnel, how to operate, etc.
The most exciting thing is that Mu Wanqing set a small goal, for example, each person can earn 100,000 taels.
This really excited everyone, morale was boosted, and the atmosphere was high.
Money is a good thing. It can make things happen and solve 99% of the problems in the world.
Money makes the world go round.
…
On the other side, the escort team set out early in the morning and walked for a long time until the officials beat drums and gongs to prepare for dinner.
Madam Mu was eating a bun while she was distracted. She accidentally bit her tongue and gasped in pain.
Mu Ziang looked over worriedly, "Mom, are you okay?"
Madam Mu waved her hand and said, "It's okay, let's eat."
Her husband and two children had been gone for a long time, almost a month, and she was very worried.
I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I can't sleep well every night.
Before they left, they didn't say where they were going, they just said they were going to carry out a mission.
Alas, no news at all.
Miss Fourth Yu and her servant sat silently eating, not saying anything. It was surprisingly quiet.
The two of them lived and ate with Madam Mu II, and paid for their own food.
Fourth Miss Yu has some private money, but it is difficult for her to eat something that tastes good.
What made her even more uneasy was that the atmosphere was becoming more and more weird day by day.
While they were eating, Madam Mu came over and said, "Sister-in-law, mother wants you to come over."
Madam Mu's face turned pale, and those suppressed and suffocating memories once again flooded into her mind, "I'm still eating, I won't go."
She didn't want to go. Why was she still acting like an old lady at this time?
The two families are at loggerheads, so what right does the mother-in-law have to treat her as she pleases?
Mrs. Mu came over surrounded by her children and grandchildren, and said in a domineering tone, "What? I can't invite you anymore? I want to ask you, where did Mu Wanqing go? It's been a month."
She came to demand the culprit with great vigor.
Madam Mu was not a strong person to begin with. She was used to being controlled. She panicked when she saw Madam Mu. “She has something to deal with.”
Old Madam Mu shouted, "What can a yellow-haired girl like her do? She must be doing something shameful. She's like her foxy concubine..."
The vixen she was referring to was Mr. Mu's biological mother, the person she hated most in her life.
Madam Mu II was furious. How could someone treat someone like that? "Mother, even if you don't like our second branch, Qing'er is the daughter of the Mu family anyway..."
"Pa pa." The sound of applause rang out and the whole audience fell silent.
Mu Ziang rushed over to support Madam Mu Er, looking at her red and swollen face, angry, upset and distressed. "Mom."
"Mrs. Mu, you are going too far. How can you hit someone just like that?"
Old Madam Mu slapped Second Madam Mu hard, becoming even more arrogant.
She pointed at Mu Ziang and his mother and said, "Kneel down, both of you."
Mu Ziang held his mother without moving, his eyes full of hatred.
It’s not enough to bully people normally, but now he’s in trouble he still acts like a big shot.
“Kneel down…”
Mu Jinyao squeezed in from the crowd and pushed Mu Sanye away, "Grandma, don't be angry if you are not feeling well. I will help you to rest."
What's going on? Wasn't it quiet and peaceful before? Why did it suddenly go crazy?
Madam Mu stood there and refused to move. Her old face was full of malice. "How can I rest in peace? I am the head of the Mu family. Now our Mu family has lost all its reputation because of Mu Wanqing. She ran off with a strange man..."
She ruined Mu Wanqing's reputation in front of so many people. Mu Ziang couldn't stand it any longer. "Old Madam, how can you talk like that? My sister is not that kind of person. She really has something to worry about. You are obviously looking for trouble on purpose. You just can't bear to see us get along well."
A hint of coldness flashed in Madam Mu's eyes, "Slap me in the face."
Master Mu Sanye grinned triumphantly and slapped him in the face. The resentment that had been pent up for a long time finally had a chance to be vented.
He was so frustrated.
Mu Ziang would not stand there and let him hit him, so he pushed hard, and Master Mu San fell to the ground with a thump. "Ah."
Madam Mu was furious and shouted loudly relying on her large number of people.
"This is a rebellion. Everyone, look, this is our Mu family's daughter-in-law. She has raised a daughter who doesn't follow the rules and has no sense of shame. She has also raised a rebellious son who doesn't respect his elders. Boss, how should we deal with this according to the clan rules?"
Uncle Mu's eyes were terribly cold. "The shameless daughter was thrown into a pig cage, and the unfilial descendants were beaten to death with sticks."
The atmosphere suddenly changed, and everyone was stunned. What? Beat him to death? Is he crazy?
Mu Rongxue's eyes widened in disbelief. What happened to them? "Uncle, we are all family, why do we want to hurt each other?"
Uncle Mu ignored her and said, "Everyone in the Mu clan should listen up. This is the consequence of violating clan rules. Every family has its own rules, and every clan has its own rules. I will enforce the clan rules in public."
His authority as the clan leader plummeted, and he no longer had the same deterrent power over his clan members, and many people disobeyed him.
However, Mu Wanqing took his place and became the leader of the Mu family, trampling on him and the first and third wives under her feet.
This completely violated his interests and stepped on his bottom line, and he had long held a grudge against it.
With Lord Zeng in charge before, he didn't dare to do anything.
Now, Mu Wanqing personally handed the handle to him, giving him the best excuse to make trouble.
Lord Zeng is not here at the moment, so Deputy Captain Li is leading people to look for a water source, and the officers left behind are unable to control the situation.
It was a heaven-sent opportunity that gave him a good chance to regain lost territory and win back the hearts of the people.
Mu Rongxue was extremely anxious. "Uncle, our Mu family has become outlaws. What family rules are we talking about? At times like this, we should unite as one and work together to overcome the difficulties."
Mu Jinyao also advised, "Yes, father, it's not easy for everyone. It will be hard to explain to my third sister when she comes back..."
She didn't believe that Mu Wanqing had escaped, nor did she believe that she had done anything shameful. It must be something important.
Mu Wanqing is a very resourceful person. She has suppressed everyone with her own strength. Even the officials are polite to her. If you offend her, you will suffer the consequences.
How could she know what Uncle Mu was thinking? The truth was not important. What was important was that he wanted to become a prestigious clan leader again and have all clan members listen to him.
"Shut up, when will it be the two girls' turn to speak? Come on, hold down Mu Zicheng and his mother, bring sticks, and beat them to death."
This was to make an example of someone and use two lives to build his prestige.
The sixth uncle of the Mu family's side branch couldn't help but get anxious, "Don't mess around, lynching is not popular these days..."
Seeing that shouting was useless, he could only rush over with his family to protect Mu Ziang and Madam Mu Er.
The Mu family was in chaos all of a sudden, split into two factions. Some stepped forward to carry out the clan leader's orders, while others ran to stop him. The scene was in chaos.
The officers tried desperately to stop them, but no one listened.
Fourth Miss Yu stared blankly, completely terrified. The Mu family was so scary!
The wet nurse was so scared that she pulled her young lady away from this circle of trouble.
Fourth Miss Yu was dragged backwards stupidly, only to see Second Madam Mu not far away being pushed down by the chaotic crowd, about to have her head stepped on.
The situation was very dangerous. She got hot-headed and pushed the wet nurse away without thinking and rushed over to protect Madam Mu's head.
At this moment, several carriages came galloping over, and an angry shout suddenly rang out, "Stop everything."
The author has something to say:
Without destruction, there is no construction.
