Chapter 383: The Suffering Clansman

After Mao Wenlong realized that he had wronged his second daughter invisibly, he agreed to the two on the spot, and he began to have a baby in the future. This made the second daughter's mood feel a little better, in order to make up for Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, Mao Wenlong promised them to accompany them to play in Xi'an City for a day today.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were happy again when they saw this, and took Mao Wenlong to take the lead towards the market in Xicheng.

Just after lunch, there is no one selling snacks or anything at this time, but those restaurants and teahouses are still popular. The three of them passed by the restaurant street, obviously had no intention of eating or drinking, and went straight to the next street to see the fabric.

Seeing the fabric, Mao Wenlong remembered to sew a few modern clothes, so he followed behind Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, and silently selected some of his favorite fabrics.

Mao Wenlong was a middle-aged shopkeeper who entertained them, and he began to pay careful attention to Mao Wenlong, Hong Ziyan, and Chen Lan since he saw them. Especially to Mao Wenlong, he looked at him very carefully, and seemed to be very familiar with the person in front of him, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while?

When the shopkeeper was in the middle of his memories, Mao Wenlong chose two pieces of fabric and threw them in front of the shopkeeper, and said casually: "Wrap these two pieces of cloth for me first, and take them away later." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I dare to ask the guest officer, but I came from Dongjiang Town, Liaodong." ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong speak, the shopkeeper immediately felt a hint of Liaodong accent, although it was already very light, but he could still hear that trace of taste.

When Mao Wenlong heard the shopkeeper suddenly ask, he immediately became vigilant, took a step back, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

At this time, Haoda, who was guarding at the door, had already looked over here, and found that Mao Wenlong gave him a look, and without saying a word, he immediately pulled Haoxiao, and the two rushed in, and the saber hidden under the coat at his waist was already out of the sheath, and the fabric store suddenly became nervous.

Seeing the two bright sabers in front of him, the shopkeeper suddenly became nervous, and he hurriedly explained to Mao Wenlong: "Don't do it to the guest officer, listen to me first, Xiao Lao'er has no malicious intentions." ”

The shopkeeper's heart was also very puzzled at the moment, Mao Wenlong in front of him didn't seem to be the person he was looking for, but he looked so similar. Moreover, it was rumored three years ago that Mao Wenlong in Liaodong had been beheaded by the damned Yuan Chonghuan, and the Dongjiang Army was even more scattered.

But later, the Dongjiang Army appeared in Henan and rose rapidly, and in just three years, there were already two provinces of Henan and Shaanxi. The shopkeeper was originally an old man of the Mao family, and he was still Mao Wenlong's third uncle in terms of seniority.

Mao Wenlong's ancestral home was Taiping County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, and his family later moved to Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province to settle down, and his clansmen also lived there. The shopkeeper in front of him is named Mao Bowen, who is the elder of the family surnamed Mao today, and can also be regarded as a patriarch.

He heard about the Dongjiang Army in Henan two years ago, and in order to find Mao Wenlong's body, he came to Henan accompanied by young people from several families. But he never had the opportunity to meet those veterans from Dongjiang Town, and he couldn't know about Mao Wenlong at all.

Moreover, Mao Wenlong had already been convicted of rebellion by the imperial court, and it was definitely inappropriate to openly ask Mao Wenlong about it. Mao Bowen didn't want to implicate the clansmen because of this, after all, this was a big crime of killing the head and exterminating the clan.

The clansmen all live in Jiangnan, which is completely under the control of the imperial court, and the clansmen are already very sensitive because of the previous conviction of Mao Wenlong, and if there is any further mistake, they will inevitably be eradicated by the imperial court.

"Xiao Lao'er's name is Mao Bowen, a native of Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang, and he is currently the patriarch of the Mao family. This cloth firm is the industry of our family, just now the little old man listened to the accent of the guest officer with a hint of the accent of Dongjiang Town, Liaodong, so he took the liberty of asking, hoping that the guest officer would not be suspicious. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned and motioned for Mao Bowen to continue. From his tone, Mao Wenlong had already heard a little strange, as if the shopkeeper in front of him should be his predecessor, the real Mao Wenlong's old family.

The shopkeeper's reaction was beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations, only to see him hesitate and say: "I wonder if the guest officer can tell Xiao Lao'er first, are you from Liaodong?" ”

In fact, the shopkeeper at this moment has already figured out that although Mao Wenlong in front of him looks exactly the same, he is too young, and it does not match the age of Mao Wenlong he knows at all. Therefore, he has seen the facts clearly after the surprise, and he will have regained his composure.

Mao Wenlong didn't hesitate, nodded and said: "I am from Liaodong, and I am also a member of Dongjiang Town, if you have any questions, maybe I can solve your doubts!" ”

The shopkeeper's face was happy, it would be great if this was the case, and it would not be in vain for the effort he had spent in the past two years. In order to find out the true situation of Mao Wenlong, he has traveled to many places, and has tried all ways but has never achieved anything.

Bumped into the god of good luck today, there was actually a person from Dongjiang Town who came here, and the shopkeeper was a little incoherent for a while: "Great, great!" ”

Mao Wenlong can already be sure at this moment that the shopkeeper in front of him is indeed a person from his former hometown, and it is obvious that this shopkeeper should have a heavy responsibility to come to investigate Mao Wenlong's situation.

Mao Wenlong had thought about these things before, but since he came to Henan, he had never seen anyone looking for him, so he also thought that the people in Mao Wenlong's hometown should not know the situation.

And Mao Wenlong didn't take the initiative to look for it, after all, although he currently occupies Henan and Shaanxi, it is not yet time to recognize his relatives and return to his family. In his mind, it wasn't too late to wait until he was truly in power to do so.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Mao Wenlong woke up Mao Bowen, who was still excited.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little old man is too excited!"

After the shopkeeper reacted, he immediately apologized, and then continued: "Do you know Mao Wenlong, the guest official of the left capital of Dongjiang Town?" He is our clan, the eldest young master of the Mao family, and it is rumored that he was convicted of rebellion by the imperial court in Dongjiang Town, because of this incident, now the Mao family is being oppressed, and life is not as good as day by day. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper paused for a moment before he sighed and continued: "Although the imperial court later convicted Yuan Chonghuan, it did not overturn the case for the young master, and the Mao family is still burdened with the crime. ”

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong had already understood, and he said lightly: "That's why you are so anxious to find news about Mao Wenlong and want to overturn the case, right?" ”
