Chapter 323
After an overnight interrogation, the Cui family confessed that except for some women and children who were not involved, most of the rest of the clan were more or less involved to some degree.
Meng Huaining felt that not only was the former Cui County Magistrate extremely evil, but the Cui clan itself was rotten to the core.
Therefore, he severely sentenced the Cui clan.
Three days later, the entire Cui clan, all were exiled to the Western Regions to mine, and were forbidden from leaving for the rest of their lives.
The yamen runners received the order and immediately went to Xiling Village, capturing all the Cui family members, only waiting for Meng Huaining to finalize the documents in three days before sending them away.
All the Cui clan's land and houses were confiscated, once again giving the Mo Family an opportunity to expand their assets. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
This time, Mo Jiuye was not considering his own family.
The manor sites and wasteland at the foot of the mountain were already enough for his own family to use. He intended to help his subordinates who had returned home to visit relatives acquire some land and property, which was also a compensation from the Mo Family to these brothers who had followed him through life and death for many years.
Living in the countryside, one must follow local customs. Spending every day doing some farming and weaving, plus the cleverness of his sisters-in-law, would also lead them to earn money together.
In short, it would not be a bad thing for everyone to live together in a village like this.
Upon hearing that Mo Jiuye wanted to buy up the Cui clan’s assets, Meng Huaining agreed without hesitation.
Moreover, he offered the lowest price possible.
Unexpectedly, the Cui clan’s single evil act ended up benefiting the Mo Family.
Now in Xiling Village, apart from the original Zhao and Zhou native families, there were the Mo, Fang and Xie families.
Surely there would be no more troublemakers like the Cui clan coming to make trouble while living in Xiling Village in the future.
The storm caused by the Cui clan passed very quickly, and the Mo Family’s various construction projects were still progressing vigorously.
After more than ten days of hard work, the rabbit sheds were finally completed.
Everyone worked together to move all the original rabbits from the family into the new rabbit sheds.
The new rabbit sheds were dozens of times larger than the original ones. Even though the original female rabbits were already frantically breeding, they still only took up one fifth of the rabbit sheds.
When he heard that the Mo Family was expanding the scale of rabbit breeding, he was even more excited than the Mo Family people.
It should be known that the chilled rabbit meat produced by the Mo Family was no longer just being sold to the restaurants in the prefectural city.
As the quantity of chilled rabbit meat gradually increased, he had also contacted several restaurants in other cities and signed long-term sales contracts with them.
The expansion of the Mo Family's rabbit breeding scale gave him countless times more profit.
Recently, he had been running to the Mo Family very diligently. The chilled rabbit meat could only ensure freshness if it was freshly made every day.
It should be said that Tang Mingrui now had silver in his hands. This kind of going to collect goods personally could be completely handled by hiring people, but he still insisted on doing it himself.
Over a period of time, the threshold of the Mo Family's door was almost worn out by him.
Not only that, Tang Mingrui often did not come empty-handed, bringing more or less some small gifts he had collected when he went out.
Although everyone had gifts, after several times, He Zhiran noticed something wrong.
On the surface Tang Mingrui had prepared gifts for all the Mo Family members, but upon closer inspection, the gifts he prepared for Mo Hanyue were given the most thought.
For example, the first time Tang Mingrui brought gifts to the Mo family, it was just after the new year.
He went to other cities to do business, and the local specialty there was osmanthus cake.
Although the name of the cake was osmanthus cake, there were also several flavors.
The osmanthus cakes Tang Mingrui bought for the other Mo family members were all the basic white sugar flavor, while the one box for Mo Hanyue contained three flavors.
Not only that, the osmanthus cakes in that box were also divided into different shapes, which made one reluctant to eat them.
And a few days ago, Tang Mingrui gave everyone in the Mo Family a bolt of cloth.
Although the cloth seemed to be of considerable value, the one given to Mo Hanyue was particularly special.
When the Mo Family was in the capital city, they were also a prestigious household. Naturally they recognized fine goods.
Everyone recognized at a glance that the cloth Tang Mingrui gave to Mo Hanyue turned out to be Shu brocade.
This was an extremely rare fine fabric. Even the Imperial Consorts in the palace had to curry tremendous favor from the Emperor. Only when the Emperor was happy would he bestow enough fabric for them to make a set of clothing.
