Immediately afterwards, Hu Cong told Meng Huaining in detail what he had experienced.
After hearing this, Meng Huaining knocked the gavel hard.
"Those people in the boat shop really don't have any royal skills in their eyes."
Meng Huaining did not intend to ask too much about Hu Cong, because many of the evidences he had were similar and conclusive.
Hu Cong's matter can be dealt with together with the evidence he collected.
Meng Huaining asked the official to call Mo Chuhan. It was said that the head of the shipping company was a martial arts master, so sending those officials who only knew some boxing and kicking skills might suffer a loss.
Not long after, Mo Chuhan, who was patrolling outside, was invited back.
In front of Mo Jiuye and his wife, Meng Huaining directly ordered Mo Chuhan to lead twenty officials to the shipping company, and the leader of the shipping company must be arrested and brought to justice.
Mo Chuhan left with the people, and all Meng Huaining had to do now was wait.
He invited Mo Jiuye, his wife, and Hu Cong to go to the back hall with him to reminisce about old times. He sent someone to bring hot water for Hu Cong to clean the dirt on his body, and found a set of clean clothes for him to change into.
When Hu Cong changed his clothes and returned, he felt like a different person.
The magnanimity of a scholar is evident.
Meng Huaining asked like a common gossip: "Mr. Hu, don't be impatient. After the person who led the boat is arrested and brought to justice, I will definitely destroy your deed of sale and compensate you accordingly from the confiscated property."
Hu Cong stood up gratefully and saluted: "Thank you, sir, for making the decision for the common people."
Meng Huaining waved his hand, indicating that he was welcome.
Mo Jiuye is also very concerned about Hu Cong's situation: "Brother Hu's house was burned down, does he have a suitable place to live now?"
Hu Cong shook his head helplessly: "I don't want to go back to the fishing village, and I don't want to fish. It's better to find another village and become a real farmer."
Hearing that Hu Cong wanted to be a farmer, He Zhiran had some ideas.
She heard Mo Jiuye say that Hu Cong could be called the best craftsman in Dashun, but he had always been low-key and had not publicized his talents since arriving in the northwest.
Such talents, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, they are like top engineers.
She and Mo Jiuye bought so many abandoned houses and land in Xiling Village. They wanted to build not only houses for their families to live in, but also some small workshops.
Workshop production must have some advanced tools. Although she can buy such tools on Taobao, they cannot see the light of day.
With Hu Cong here, it's different. She can provide some drawings and ask Hu Cong to help make them, so that they can be used legitimately and completely solve her troubles.
In addition, she personally felt that Hu Cong was a very talented person, and it was a pity that he was buried like this.
"Since Brother Hu doesn't plan to return to the fishing village, would you consider going to Xiling Village to be neighbors with the Mo family?
After all, we are all coming from the capital, so we can still take care of each other if we live close to each other. "
Mo Jiuye saw what his wife was thinking at a glance and helped to persuade: "The villagers in Xiling Village are very simple, and there is a lot of arable land there. We are about to build a house soon. If Brother Hu doesn't mind it, we can Together."
After Hu Cong was kidnapped by the boat crew, he was already feeling disheartened. He thought his life was over.
Unexpectedly, he would be rescued by Mo Jiuye after escaping from the boat shop. When he just mentioned his future plans, he just did it on the spur of the moment, without any detailed plan.
What's more, he doesn't have any money in his hands, and he doesn't even have a place to stay.
If what the county magistrate said is true, he can get part of the compensation from the boat company. At that time, he can indeed consider going to Xiling Village to become neighbors with the Mo family.
"I have no objection to this, it's just..."
While speaking, Hu Cong glanced at Meng Huaining unconsciously, hoping to verify from him whether he could get compensation from the shipping company.
Unexpectedly, Meng Huaining did not look at him, but stared blankly at the tea in his hand.
Even if Hu Cong didn't say this, Mo Jiuye could still understand his current situation.
"Brother Hu, don't worry. I can lend you some money first so that you can settle down in Xiling Village."
Hu Cong doesn't have a penny in his pocket, and now is not the time to pretend to be aloof.
"In this case, Hu will no longer be polite to the Ninth Young Master. If Hu is lucky enough to get compensation from the shipping company, he will return it immediately. If not, I also have skills. As long as you give me some time, the money will be paid back. .”
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran hold supplies from two treasuries in their hands, how can they care about a small amount of money?
The reason why they are willing to help Hu Cong is entirely because they are optimistic about his skills and character.
It can be said that the two are indispensable.
"Brother Hu, you don't have to think too much, just settle down in Xiling Village."
Hu Cong's affairs were temporarily arranged, and they started talking casually.
Almost half an hour later, He Zhiran felt unable to sit still. Suddenly, an official ran in in a panic. He was so anxious that he even forgot to knock on the door.
"Sir, what's wrong, the boss of the boat shop knows how to use poison. When Captain Mo took us to arrest him just now, he couldn't even enter the yard, and the few people in front were poisoned."
Meng Huaining stood up after hearing this.
"What? You said that the leader of the shipping company used poison, what happened to our people?" What he cares about most now is the lives of his men.
The officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to report: "The brothers walking at the front are already unconscious, and Captain Mo is also a little dizzy."
This time, it was Mo Jiuye's turn to not be calm.
Myna finally escaped death, but he can't be hurt by the thieves again.
Moreover, he and He Zhiran both had the same idea. As far as boat operators were concerned in Yuncheng, it could be said that they were just local gangsters, and most of them were gangsters.
However, those who know how to use poison and dare to use poison on officials must not dare to do so to those gangsters.
After a short analysis, they all concluded that the leader of this boat line was unusual.
The situation was urgent. Mo Jiuye stood up and said to Meng Huaining: "Brother Meng, I'm going to go take a look now."
He Zhiran knew that Mo Jiuye was worried about Bage's safety, and he didn't know how to poison, so he would easily suffer a loss if he went forward rashly like this.
She also stood up: "Husband, take me with you."
When He Zhiran spoke, his eyes were extremely firm.
Mo Jiuye refused this time without thinking at all.
"No, now that you are pregnant, I can't let you take risks."
He Zhiran glanced at her belly subconsciously. Indeed, she couldn't be too showy at this time.
After thinking about it, she followed Mo Jiuye out of the county government gate.
In a deserted corner, she handed Mo Jiuye an invisible gas mask.
This thing is a disposable item and very thin. It is a military item stored in her infirmary. She used it during her mission to prevent toxic gases from being inhaled into the body.
