Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

After arranging Chu Xin's arrangements, Chu Mo told Shopkeeper Liu what the bank needed to pay attention to in the future, then put on his official uniform and went out.

Before, he asked Zhang San and others to lead people to arrest Jia Quan.

However, after several days of squatting there, no one was seen.

Today, he finally caught a few of them in the crowd watching the fun. Chu Mo said he would go and meet these rebellious brats.

As soon as they arrived at Mingde Gate, Zhang San and Li Si gathered around them: "Sir, you are here."

"Well, where is that guy Jia Quan now? Take me there and have a look."

Zhang San and Li Si took Chu Mo to a remote courtyard.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jia Quan and others being tied up like rice dumplings and thrown in the corner, with a dirty and smelly foot-wrapping cloth stuffed into their mouths.

Chu Mo could smell the smell even while standing at the door.

Before entering the house, Chu Mo stood at the door, pointed at Jia Quan and said: "Bring him out, and keep the rest closed for a few days."

When Jia Quan saw Chu Mo arriving, his face instantly turned pale. He kept kowtowing and moaning. He knew without thinking that he must be begging for mercy.

After bringing the person out, Chu Mo asked someone to remove the foot wrap from his mouth and asked:

"Jia Quan, why did you betray me?"

Jia Quan did not answer Chu Mo's question, but kept begging for mercy.

Chu Mo chuckled: "Jia Quan, let me ask you one last time, why did you betray me?"

Jia Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said with tears streaming down his face: "Sir, it's not that I want to betray you, but it's because I have no choice but to betray you."

"Oh, then tell me what compelling reasons you have to put me to death directly."

"Sir, they arrested the subordinate's family and forced the subordinate to let us provoke a conflict between you and the Chang'an County Magistrate."

"Oh, so you've finished helping them, how is your family doing now?"

Jia Quan did not answer Chu Mo's question, but instead shouted: "Sir, we have now surrendered to Mr. Wang Junkuo and are no longer under your control. You cannot use lynching. We also have a system."

Chu Mo smiled slightly and said to Zhang San on the side: "This guy's mouth is not very good. Go and ask the people inside if anyone is willing to talk, and I will let them go. Don't worry, don't interrupt and keep your word."

When Jia Quan heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Sir, you can't do this, subordinate..."

"I belong to you, uncle. Why the hell do you say you are no longer my soldier, yet you still call me a subordinate, are you worthy?"

After saying that, Chu Mo kicked Jia Quan over, and then deliberately raised his voice and said: "I dare to kill even the magistrate of Chang'an County, but killing you chickens and dogs is just a matter of a few words."

"If I didn't know which mouse hole you were hiding in these days, do you think you would be so peaceful these days?"

After speaking, he winked at Zhang San.

Zhang San understood, immediately stepped forward and blocked Jia Quan's mouth again, then rushed into the room and grabbed another soldier.

When the soldier saw Chu Mo, he kowtowed directly and begged for mercy.

Chu Mo didn't say anything and asked him the same question as Jia Quan.

After hearing this, the soldier glanced at Jia Quan in the corner, who was being beaten violently by Zhang San and others. His body trembled and he said: "Sir, we only did what Jia Quan ordered us to do. Everything else." I don’t know everything.”

Chu Mo nodded and did not reply. Instead, he gestured to Zhang San.

Zhang San immediately blocked the soldier's mouth, grabbed him in the corner and beat him again.

Then, another person was dragged out.

As soon as this person came out, he saw the two people being beaten up in the corner, then lowered his head, took a few steps to beg for mercy, and said nothing.

Chu Mo wasn't even interested in interrogating him, so he said, "This one will be buried alive later."

When the man heard that he was going to be buried alive, his pupils first dilated, and then he immediately imitated others and began to beg for mercy.

Chu Mo didn't look at him and walked directly into the house.

There were two soldiers left inside, all hiding in the corner and shivering.

Seeing Chu Mo come in, he immediately rolled and crawled in front of Chu Mo, whining.

Chu Mo gestured to Zhang San and said, "Wait for these two people. The one who speaks first will be spared his life. The one who speaks late will lead people to kill his whole family at night."

Zhang San sneered, then walked up to the two of them, ready to stretch out his hand and tear off the rag from their mouths.

When the two saw this, they immediately rushed towards Zhang San, trying to get the first chance to speak.

Zhang San didn't treat them differently, stretched out his hands and took off the rags from their mouths at the same time.

As soon as the rag was taken out, someone shouted: "Sir, whatever you want to know, I will definitely tell you."

Another person shouted directly: "Sir, Jia Quan was ordered by Cui Hao, the head of Qinghe Cui Jia'an, to attack you."

As soon as this remark came out, the judgment was made.

Chu Mo nodded, pointed at the employee and said to Zhang San: "Stop his mouth."

When the soldier pointed by Chu Mo heard this, his face turned pale and he kept begging for mercy.

Chu Mo waved his hand: "Don't beg for mercy in a hurry. After I finish asking, if you have anything to add, I can consider sparing your life. If not, then just like those people outside, they will all be buried alive and destroyed." You’re full.”

The soldier Li Jing whose mouth had been gagged by Zhang San opened his eyes wide, and then kowtowed to Chu Mo with a whimper.

Chu Mo ignored it and asked again: "Tell me everything you know. If you dare to lie, you know my methods."

The soldier immediately nodded: "Sir, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

Then he told what happened before.

The soldiers didn't know much, so they only told Chu Mo what they knew intermittently.

Then, another soldier added some details.

But even so, Chu Mo also guessed something

It turned out that Ma Yuanyi's matter was originally a matter of the subordinates of the aristocratic family.

They have long been eyeing Food for the Sky and are waiting for this opportunity to take action anytime and anywhere.

And this opportunity happened to be provided by Chu Mo.

So, when Ma Yuanyi took Shopkeeper Liu away, this opportunity was given.

After Shopkeeper Liu was robbed, Chu Mo handed over the aftermath to Jia Quan, who directly used this loophole to instigate Ma Yuanyi to come to find trouble.

Chu Mo, who didn't know the reason, had another direct conflict with the greedy Ma Yuanyi.

The death of Ma Yuanyi even angered Du Zhen, the magistrate of Chang'an County.

As for what happens next, these little minions are not qualified to know.

After finding out the cause of the matter, Chu Mo kept his word and let the two people go.

The four people outside the door, including Jia Quan, had their limbs broken by his direct order, and then asked Zhang San to take them outside the city and throw them into the pile of refugees.

Anyway, I didn't kill anyone, I just gave them some lessons. As for whether they live or die outside the city, that's not my business.
