appeased those girls, let Xi Feng and Ji Qian stay in Guixiang Tower, and Lin Mo left Guixiang Tower with Qiu Yun, Jin Xiangyu, and Xiao Ying, and embarked on the road back to the city.

The reason why Xifeng was allowed to stay was not that Lin Mo didn't trust Ji Qian, and was afraid that Ji Qian and the others would secretly conceal a batch of money and the like, but that the "ghost market", there might be some powerful cultivators hidden in the ghost Xiang Tower, and a great cultivator was always needed.

Behind Lin Mo was a team of 100 people, which was sent by Ji Qian, and asked them to escort Lin Mo and the others back to the palace, since it was Ji Qian's intention, Lin Mo couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

Out of the Ghost Xiang Tower, Lin Mo found a wreckage outside, the ground was full of bloodstains, the house had collapsed a lot, and the soldiers of the security battalion were cleaning the battlefield, cleaning up the corpses and valuable things.

Covering his mouth and nose, a few people walked a few steps, and Lin Mo found an obese corpse, which had lost its breath, and was being dragged by two security battalion soldiers with their legs, it was the fat man who sold human meat buns before.

There was a slight blood mark on his neck, which looked like he had been cut by a sword of the wind.

After walking a few more steps, Lin Mo saw a wine shop, in addition to the smell of blood, there was also a faint smell of wine coming from the wine shop, and the corners of Lin Mo's lips immediately hooked up a smile, and finally knew why the old man under the moon appeared here.

The taste of that wine, Lin Mo had smelled before, was the taste of Hanjiang Nine Steaming, although Hanjiang Nine Steamed was not as clear and mellow as "Moon Brew", but it was also a rare high-grade wine.

Since there is fine wine, the old man under the moon appeared here, and Lin Mo didn't feel strange.

Out of the "ghost market", on the way back to the city, under the illumination of the gentle moonlight, Jin Xiangyu was like a bird that was extremely happy, desperately breathing the fresh air that had not been seen for a long time, and his steps were very brisk.

Jin Xiangyu has not taken a step in the ghost Xianglou for more than ten years, which is like house arrest, and now he has finally come out, full of curiosity about the outside world, and even the grass and trees feel novel.

The fresh wind, the rattling water of the cold river, and the soft cries of the animals at night weave into a beautiful music, which entered the ears of Lin Mo and the four of them, washing Jin Xiangyu's heart.

Xiao Yingxing walked behind, looking at Lin Mo and Jin Xiangyu's various intimate actions, her face was full of disdain, but she had some respect for Lin Mo in her heart, she didn't expect Lin Mo to appease those poor girls with a few words.

Hatred is the most powerful driving force.

Lin Mo grasped the biggest pain in their hearts, looking at the intimate back of Jin Xiangyu and Lin Mo in the moonlight, Xiao Ying couldn't help but let out a faint sigh in her heart.

Xiao Ying couldn't help but think in her heart, how good it would be if Han Qianyue was not the sect master of the Moon Sect, and how good it would be if the two sects of Moon and Mo were not opposed, then now Jin Xiangyu's position was Han Qianyue's.

However, fate makes people, Lin Mo and Han Qianyue have their own different positions, Han Qianyue is still the future queen of Chu State, and it is destined that the two will definitely have a sword and sword in the future.

Bathed in the sunshine and returned to the street, after separating Xiaoying, Lin Mo placed Jin Xiangyu in an inn, and left the team of 100 people in the inn, which was regarded as taking care of Jin Xiangyu's safety.

This frightened the innkeeper, he still encountered a guest who was guarded by the security battalion general, and he was very respectful to Jin Xiangyu, which greatly satisfied Jin Xiangyu's vanity.

The reason why Jin Xiangyu was placed in the inn was because Lin Mo didn't dare and couldn't bring her back to the Lin Mansion, if she was brought back, Yan Baiyu would definitely settle accounts with herself, and besides, Jin Xiangyu's meaning to Lin Mo was a little different.

Lin Mo is very sure that Jin Xiangyu doesn't love himself, maybe he doesn't like himself, but he has a strong dependence on himself, a dependence on survival and security, money and material dependence.

Over the years, Jin Xiangyu has been living under the wrap of money and materials, and has developed a very heavy vanity, which is why Jin Xiangyu has not waited for an opportunity to escape from the Ghost Xianglou for so many years.

Therefore, Lin Mo would not bring her into the Lin Mansion, this kind of woman is more suitable for being an outer house.

This kind of woman is very easy to control for Lin Mo now, as long as she is given what she wants and everything she needs, she can do her best for herself, and she will take over from Tang Yunu to manage the business of Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the future.

After having dinner with Jin Xiangyu, Lin Mo separated her and returned directly to the Lin Mansion.

It was almost four o'clock (22:00) when they returned to the Lin Mansion, and the four girls of Yan Baiyu were gossiping in the main house, and Lin Mo went in and briefly talked to them about the things in the Guixiang Tower.

As for Jin Xiangyu, Lin Mo naturally confessed honestly, and in the future, Jin Xiangyu will appear in the Zuisheng Building, and finally take over the Zuisheng Building, so this kind of thing can't be hidden.

Unexpectedly, after hearing about Jin Xiangyu, the four daughters of Yan Baiyu only warned Lin Mo not to bring her outside the Lin Mansion, and the girls didn't say anything, and accepted Jin Xiangyu's existence.

In fact, the four daughters of Yan Baiyu accepted the existence of Jin Xiangyu so easily, Lin Mo thought about it a little, and it was not surprising that he knew what it was for, one was for Tang Yunu.

Yan Baiyu's four daughters felt that Tang Yunu had done so many things for Lin Mo, endured so many grievances, and was already twenty-eight years old, so she should go to the mansion to give birth to children for Lin Mo, and live that peaceful life with her husband and children.

As for the second, Lin Mo's flowery heart, they knew that they couldn't stop it, and at the same time, they also knew that Lin Mo would not look at the wrong person, and Jin Xiangyu would definitely be able to take over Tang Yunu to manage the business of Qinlou Chu Pavilion.

After chatting for about half an hour, they dispersed, and after a simple bath, Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu had a good time turning the clouds and rain, and fell asleep with the graceful moonlight.

On the second day, Lin Mo got up very early, because he decided to go to the morning court this morning, there was such a big incident in the ghost Xianglou last night, which had already alarmed the government and the opposition, and Lin Mo couldn't hide now.

In addition, last night, in the west direction of the imperial capital Qiantian City, at dawn, the fire rose to the sky, and the people in the imperial capital were afraid that they had already spread the word and talked about it.

At this time, Lin Mo should stand up and explain some things, so that the Daqian Emperor and the Daqian court can give an explanation to the people in the imperial capital, so that they can know what happened.

Under the service of Yan Baiyu, Lin Mo put on the purple crown suit that belonged to his own Daqian Yipin Shangqing, put on the seven-beam crown hat, and tied the snow cloak, kissed Yan Baiyu lightly on the forehead, and went out.

The moment he pushed the door open, a cold wind immediately hit, Lin Mo immediately shivered, and subconsciously tightened the snow cloak on his body before stepping on the snow in the front yard.

The snow on the ground is thicker, maybe it was because of another snow last night after Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu slept down.

Coming to the front yard and looking at the rocking chair in the courtyard, Lin Mo remembered Liu Ruoshui again, he hadn't seen her for almost half a month, and found that he missed her more and more. Temporarily shook Liu Ruoshui away from his head, and stepped out of the Lin Mansion with a respectful gaze and salute, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Lin Mansion, Lin Mo saw the figures of Ji Qian and Xi Feng Qiuyun.

Behind the three of them were hundreds of soldiers of the security battalion, as well as hundreds of carriages loaded with boxes and bulging straw mats, which seemed to have been seized from the Guixiang Tower.

Seeing Lin Mo come out, everyone hurriedly made a big salute.

After saluting, Ji Qian took a few steps forward and took out two booklets and presented them to Lin Mo: "Lord Shangqing, one is a record of all the things that were confiscated yesterday, and the other is the detailed status of the ransom that is recorded. ”

Lin Mo took the two booklets and was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Ji Qian's work efficiency to be so high, and he solved everything in one night, it seems that he is still really a resolute person.

Opening the booklet that recorded the details of the ransom, Lin Mo took a cursory glance, there were about 5 million gold leaves in total, and it seemed that there were nearly 100 people who went to the Ghost Xiang Tower last night.

Closing the booklet, Lin Mo asked, "All the people in the Ghost Xiang Mansion have been ransomed?" Oh, by the way, and that Rite Doctor Ling Hai, how is he? And what about the girls?"

Ji Qian replied respectfully: "Those girls in the building have already left, and their subordinates have given them enough silver and copper leaves to entangle, and at this time, they should all be on their way home." Ling Hai has been secretly imprisoned by his subordinates in the prison of the security camp. ”

"Well done, so I'm relieved. Lin Mo showed a faint smile, and after speaking, the atmosphere was silent for a while, but he didn't hear Ji Qian answer his third question, so he asked again.

"Have all the guests who went to the Ghost Xiang Mansion last night redeemed?"

Hearing Lin Mo ask this question again, Ji Qian's face flushed with embarrassment.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Qian replied truthfully: "Back to Lord Shangqing, my subordinates are ashamed, there were one hundred and twenty-eight guests who went to the Guixiang Mansion yesterday, but only ninety-six were ransomed. ”

Lin Mo opened the booklet that recorded the details of the ransom again and took a look, and found that it really recorded the situation of ninety-six people, but he did not have the idea of blaming Ji Qian for his ineffective handling of things.

Lin Mo naturally didn't ask why he wasn't ransomed.

Of the thirty-two people who were not ransomed, Lin Mo roughly knew what the reason was without asking, it could be that the ransom was too high, and those people's families could not afford it, or it could be that their families refused to give it.

But in the family of the gentry, there is more than one son or something, and 50,000 gold leaves is not a small amount, and the other sons are not willing to ransom those people out and compete with them for the family property.

"Commander Naji, what do you do with those who have not been ransomed?"

Ji Qian arched his hand and replied: "Back to Lord Shangqing, after the subordinates negotiated the conditions with them, they were released, and the subordinates made their own opinions, please forgive your sins." ”

"It's okay, Commander Ji. Lin Mo smiled and held Ji Qian's bowed figure: "Ben Qing won't blame you, now Ben Qing wants to know more about what conditions Commander Ji talked to them." ”

At that time, Lin Mo left Xifeng there to sit there, since Ji Qian could successfully release those who had not been ransomed, he must have asked Xifeng, and he nodded and agreed.

Ji Qian said that he was making his own opinion, but he was just stopping the blame, and he didn't want to drag down the wind, how could Lin Mo blame Ji Qian for such a kind and righteous behavior.
