Mo Jinnian didn't feel any discomfort in his body, so he couldn't let his ninth younger brother and sister, a female class, catch the carriage.

"Ninth brother, ninth brother and sister, I have no health problems now, so let me drive the carriage!"

"Well, since Brother Six is ​​well, let Ran Ran sit in the carriage and rest."

Mo Jiuye has been feeling heartbroken these past few days. If he hadn't wanted to leave Southern Xinjiang smoothly, he would never have let his pregnant wife work so hard.

Now that they were safe, it was natural to leave the matter of driving the carriage to Brother Six.

He Zhiran will not show off at this time. Although she has not had any major reactions during her current pregnancy, she has been feeling a little overwhelmed after traveling all night.

"Then it's hard work, Brother Six."

After He Zhiran finished speaking, she got into the carriage. What she needed now was to have a good rest.

Lan'er and Yu'er were also very discerning. When they saw her coming in, they quickly gave up a spacious position.

"Mrs. Ninth, you look a little bad. You must be too tired from traveling all night. You can rest here and tell us to do anything you want."

While Lan'er was speaking, he had already covered He Zhiran with a thick quilt.

The rice ball lay obediently on the head of its owner, acting coquettishly and cutely.

He Zhiran reached out and patted its fluffy little head: "Fantuan, be good, let me rest for a while."

Fantuan'er seemed to notice his master's exhaustion, and he said "Hmm" and then lay there obediently to sleep.

The carriage continued to move forward, and there was no need to hide when passing through the towns. At night, everyone went into the inn to rest and travel during the day.

Ten days later, the group finally arrived in Yuncheng successfully.

The carriage drove slowly towards Xilin Village. As soon as they entered the village, they heard a noise.

"My lord, everything I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can tell it when you go to the Mo family."

"Hmph! You dare to offend the Mo family. I think your Cui family really doesn't want to hang out in Yuncheng anymore."

"My lord, the ninth old man of the Mo family and his wife haven't shown up for more than half a month. Do you think they didn't show up for so long if they weren't out of town?"

Hearing someone mention the Mo family, Mo Jiuye instinctively speeded up the carriage.

When I got closer, I saw two members of the Cui family walking towards the village with a few official servants.

From the few conversations just now, it is easy to tell that the Cui family had a grudge against them. When they found that he and Ran Ran had not shown up for half a month, they quietly observed and reported to the official.

There is no other reason. Without the emperor's amnesty, the exiled prisoners will not be able to leave this place for the rest of their lives.

The Cui family wants to use this matter to take revenge...

Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, the official turned his head.

Mo Jiuye saw Ma Junshan at a glance.

"Master Ma, are you here on business in Xiling Village?"

When Ma Junshan saw Mo Jiuye, his face immediately lit up with joy.

"It turns out to be Master Jiu, where have you been?"

While speaking, Ma Junshan also glared at the two Cui family members.

When the Cui family saw Mo Jiuye, their hearts tightened.

They watched around the Mo family for several days, but did not see Mo Jiuye or his wife at all. Then they had the courage to report to the officials and avenge the entire Cui family.

Who would have thought that they had persuaded the officials to come, but they turned up. Wouldn't this be like shooting themselves in the foot?

In fact, the Cui family really overestimated their capabilities, and they did not think about the relationship between the Mo family and the county magistrate. Besides, the Mo family also had Mo Chuhan, who was working as a head catcher in the county government. What chance would they have of winning if they went to report to the official?

If the Cui family hadn't deliberately shouted loudly at the gate of the county government office, Meng Huaining would not have sent anyone to make this trip.

He has been traveling to and from Mo's house frequently recently, so he naturally knows about Mo Jiuye and his wife's absence.

As a matter that the county magistrate did not want to take care of, the Cui family wanted to make the matter bigger.

The Cui family spoke with indignation in front of the county government office, saying that the Mo family was exiled for committing crimes. Now that they dared to leave Yuncheng privately, it would easily cause trouble to other places.

The common people also had soft ears. They heard what the Cui family said was reasonable and well-founded, so they followed suit.

Meng Huaining had no choice but to let Mo Chuhan go back to Xiling Village first and pretend that Mo Jiuye pretended to be sick in the room. Then he would send several officials there.

Anyway, the Cui family can't enter the inner room of the house to check, so the official can't say whatever he wants after reading it.

Unexpectedly, Mo Jiuye came back at this time, and there was no need to continue the drama.

Mo Jiuye looked at the two Cui family members disdainfully, and then said to Ma Junshan: "I bought two carriages from someone, and I just went to the city to pick them up."

Ma Junshan originally planned to give a reminder in front of the Cui family, but unexpectedly, Mo Jiuye settled the matter on his own.

"No wonder, I heard from the adults a few days ago that the Mo family wanted to buy a horse. I didn't expect to buy it back so quickly."

When the two Cui family members saw Mo Jiuye chatting happily with the official, they took the opportunity to slip away.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by several official officers who were standing there.

"You two, you want to run away after the false accusation?"

"Master, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." The Cui family quickly apologized.

Although they were still very sure that Mo Jiuye and his wife had not been in Xiling Village recently, the current situation was already obvious.

These officials were originally targeting the Mo family, but now that Mo Jiuye's people have appeared, they can no longer argue.

The official stepped forward and gave the two of them several whips mercilessly: "It's easy for you to misunderstand. I will go back to the Yamen with you later and report to the county magistrate."

When the two Cui family members heard that they were going to the Yamen, they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they knelt down.

"My Lord, please spare my life. We know we were wrong and we will never dare to do it again."

The official ignored them at all and tied them up without saying a word.

Seeing this, Ma Junshan raised his fist towards Mo Jiuye and said, "Master Jiu, let's take these two people to the Yamen to deal with them now."

Mo Jiuye returned the greeting: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Come to my humble home when you have time, and I'll treat you to a drink."

Speaking of drinking, several officials swallowed unconsciously.

They served the Mo family's rice bowl once, and the food was not as delicious as any restaurant in the city.

"Okay, when my brothers are not busy, I will definitely come and bother you."

Whether he can really come or not depends on Master Ba’s permission.

Now they are all under Master Ba, and not everyone is qualified to come to their boss's house for dinner.

Mo Jiuye watched the group of people leave before driving the carriage towards home.

On the way, Mo Jinnian asked, "Ninth brother, what happened just now?"

The brothers were in a hurry and only went to the inn to rest after nightfall. There was hardly any communication. It was not surprising that Mo Jinnian didn't know the situation in Xiling Village.

Mo Jiuye briefly told what happened when they first came to Xiling Village.

Mo Jinnian knocked on the car board hard: "They are really nothing. Let's see how I deal with them in the future."
