    At this time, Yang Yuanwai and others also came back. Several people carried two old boxes and placed them in front of Chen Lu.  The mute opened the lid. One contained daily pocket-things, and the other contained silver coins, most of which were copper coins from the Celestial Dynasty. There were a few ingots of silver, plus a few gold horseshoes.  Chen Lu did a rough calculation and found that he had one thousand taels of silver.

    Chen Lu called the mute over and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

    The mute gestured to his head with his hands, then clasped his hands together and closed his eyes slightly.  Chen Lu sighed inwardly and said, "Okay, Old Man Yang, is there a temple nearby?"

    "Yes, there are many temples within a hundred miles, including Han temples, Lama temples, and Huihui temples."

    Chen Lu said: "You give part of the gold and silver here to the temple. Remember it is a Han temple, and leave some pocket money for the mute. You can take care of this. The two of us will go to Tian Weng's house to handle some things later.  , you personally deliver the mute to the temple."

    Member Yang knelt down and stood up after listening.  Chen Lu said, "What do you want to do? Did I ask you to stand up? Kneel down." After that, he pulled the mute and walked inside.

    When he got to the inner room, Chen Lu said: "You may be devoted to Buddha, and you may have some good fortune in the future. Go and practice hard. Before you leave, take out the things in the basement. I will go to Sizhou. Tian Weng told me the address. I can find it."  . Send all the money back and get the citizenship for your master¡¯s family. The courtyard has also been sold to the Yang family. Take the money back with you. Do you think this is okay?¡±

    The mute nodded, and then gestured, saying that he had no shame in going back, and that he would be a useless person when he went back. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, making a sound.  Chen Lu quickly pulled him, blood was already visible on his forehead.

    Chen Lu walked out with him and said: "Executive member Yang, there are still a few things that you need to do now. As the old saying goes, if you do it well, you will lose the merit. If you don't do it well, you will settle the old debts with the new ones."

    Member Yang nodded.  Chen Lu said: "As the chief of the pavilion, you will escort these people to the government. The other is Tian Weng's house. I will be the middleman and sell it to you. The price is determined by you. There is also Tian Weng's tea set."  , I didn¡¯t bother to take it back, so you can discount it too.¡±

    ??Yang Yuanwai knelt there and was stunned for a long time. It was the person next to him who pulled him, and he came to his senses and said yes again and again.

    Chen Lu said: "If you dare to discount the things I told you, you should be careful. Let me tell you, I went to Turpan from here the day before yesterday to handle official business for a day, and I am here again today."

    This sentence shocked everyone in the room. This was indeed an immortal cultivator.  Member Yang said he didn't dare.  Chen Lu said: "Go and do it."

    ??Yang Yuan sent two people to the government office and walked to the back house. After a while, he walked in with a person and placed two small boxes on the coffee table.  Yang Yuanwai opened it with his own hands.  Chen Lu saw a box containing eight fifty-two-weight gold ingots, and the other contained eight twelve-weight gold horseshoes.

    Yang Yuanwai said: "Tian Weng's house is worth four hundred taels of silver, and the tea set is eighty taels of gold. Is this price okay, Sir?"

    Chen Lu knew nothing about this and had no idea how much this tea set was worth. He was shocked when he heard that it was eighty taels of gold.  This house was also beyond Chen Lu's expectation. He thought it only had a few dozen taels of silver.  I understand that it was Yuan Wai who wanted to sacrifice his wealth to save his life.

    Chen Lu deliberately said: "You can love me as much as you want. Can't I still bargain with you? You can go and do it now. After the mute and I get the things, he will come back right away. You can find a horse for the mute now."  You arrange it."

    After saying that, he looked around at everyone, snorted, walked to the gate, whistled, and the big green horse ran over. Chen Lu put the gold and silver in the bag.

    By this time, someone had brought a horse to the mute. The two returned to Tian Weng's house, packed the gold and silver utensils, put them in the sack, and said, "Mute, you can go, I will go to Sizhou right now."

    After saying that, he rode away.  The mute knelt down to see Chen Lu off, then mounted his horse and left until Chen Lu could no longer be seen.

    Chen Lu saw that it was getting late and there were few people here. He murmured a few words to the big green horse, and the big green horse jumped into the air and ran towards Sizhou.

    It was only when I arrived in Sizhou that I learned that Tian Weng¡¯s family lived in the countryside, and the village¡¯s name was Sanfengdong, which was closer to Sinan.  When Chen Lu arrived here, the sun was about to set, so he quickly inquired.  Fortunately, everyone knows Tian Weng, but they don¡¯t know his name. Someone brought Chen Lu to Tian¡¯s house.

    Tian Weng's house is on a hillside, with a large platform, surrounded by towering trees, a small yard, two houses, and side rooms. The so-called cave is not a cave, but a place nestled against the mountain.  The name of a village.

    Chen Lu knocked on the door, and an old woman in her sixties came out with a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old and let her into the living room.  It looks like the family is quite well off.  It's really a centipede insect, dead but not aliveAh, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Chen Lu has seen that today.

    But what surprised Chen Lu was that the guests who received the guests turned out to be a mother-in-law and a child, an upright woman and child.

    Chen Lu said: "Old man, I am Tian Weng's friend, my name is Chen Zicheng, and I come from Wenla Mountain in Dalu River."

    The old woman had seen the world and saw that Chen Lu was an official. She was a little confused when she heard that he came from Wenla Mountain.  Chen Lu asked: "The old lady is"

    "A poor woman is a daughter-in-law."

    "Oh, please meet me, monk master. I, Zicheng, have something to say."

    "The old woman Tian Dou is the head of the family." Seeing Chen Lu's puzzled face, he continued: "Sir, you are laughing. Our family is unfortunate. There has been chaos in the past few years. You must also know about it."

    Chen Lu nodded, and Mrs. Tian Dou said: "After that, we were forcibly registered as soldiers by the master here. The three poor women and husbands went to Annan, and none of them came back. In the year of the turmoil in Longyan Cave,  My sons and nephews went with the army to suppress the rebellion, and two of them were killed in the battle. A few years ago, during the conquest of the Eight Hundred Daughters' Country, Marshal Liu's soldiers deserted and captured several of our sons and nephews to make up for their numbers. Only one of us survived and was left behind.  A hemiplegia.¡±

    Chen Lu also heard about this situation. This was a forced recruitment of soldiers, mainly for military pay. They made false reports in peacetime, but in wartime they were afraid of revealing their secrets, so they used these people to fill up the numbers.  In fact, in the Fish Scale Atlas, these people all have national registrations.  They didn't understand military tactics at all, they didn't know how to fight, they couldn't even shoot bows and arrows, and few of them could survive.

    Chen Lu asked: "This is"

    "This is Tian Xiuwen, my grandnephew. He is the grandson of my second brother. The name given by my father-in-law is the eldest grandson. He is fourteen this year. The two masters have already sent people to tell them that this child has been registered and is ready to enter the country at the age of fifteen.  In the barracks, what else are you studying for?"

    Chen Lu felt sad and understood why Tian Weng was so desperate to make money.  This time, I died for the sake of money and for me, Zicheng.  Although I, Zicheng, did not kill Boren, Boren died because of me. This matter must be dealt with to the end.

    Thinking of this, Chen Lu said: "Old madam, I have a heartfelt request. I want to meet my family."

    Mrs. Dou smiled and said, "That's right. You don't need to tell me, my family members also have to come to visit and wish my grandfather well." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
