Time passed in a flash like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Er and Liu Qian escorted Liu Zixiao to Yingtianfu.

In the Tianfu Mansion, after Liu Qian handed over the seal of worship to Liu Zixiao, Xiong Hao arranged for them to enter the rest area.

And Xiong Hao couldn't figure out why this Liu Zixiao came for the first time when he got the news, but he remembered that Mo Li had told him that Liu Qian was his good brother, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, but he didn't dare to make decisions about such a big matter. After settling Liu Zixiao and the others properly, Xiong Hao came to Mo Li's residence as soon as possible, and told Mo Li the news that Liu Zixiao and the others had arrived, and saw what he was going to do.

After learning the news that Liu Zixiao and others had arrived, Mo Li changed his appearance again and followed Xiong Hao to the mansion.

"Lord Liu is resting, and people are stopping. Liu Qian was guarding outside the door, and when he saw Xiong Hao coming with a stranger, he stopped him directly.

Mo Li glanced at Liu Qian and didn't say anything. With a wave of his robe, the rest of the soldiers around him fell asleep.

Seeing Mo Li's hand, Liu Qian was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Bold! Who are you? You actually dare to attack the officers and soldiers." ”

Seeing that there was no one else except Xiong Hao and Liu Qian, Mo Li turned around and changed back to his original appearance.

Seeing Moli himself, Liu Qian's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise and said: "Master Guoshi, it's actually you! I haven't seen you for two months, but it really makes Qian Haosheng worry." ”

Mo Li smiled, and after sending Xiong Hao away, he said to Liu Qian: "Lord Liu, is this journey going well?"

Liu Qian nodded vigorously and said, "Except for a little accident in Xuzhou, everything else is going well." However, thanks to Your Majesty, if it weren't for Your Majesty's foresight and sending your second disciple Mo Er to accompany him for protection, Lord Zixiao is afraid that his soul will return to the Nine Shadows. ”

"Oh, Moji is here too, where is the others?"

Liu Qian pretended to fan himself on the cheek, and said, "Qian is really Mune, how can you let the National Teacher talk outside the house? ”

Nodding, Mo Li followed Liu Qian to Liu Zixiao's room.

"Disciple Mo Er has seen Shizun. ”

"The foolish disciple has seen the eldest brother. ”

Mo Li hurriedly interrupted the two who were about to greet him, "Okay, okay, don't be polite, get up and talk." ”

After the three of them sat down, Mo Li looked at Liu Zixiao and asked, "Zixiao, I just heard from Lord Liu that you almost died in Xuzhou before, what's going on?"

Liu Zixiao said heartlessly: "What did the eldest brother say, don't you think I'm fine? This is thanks to the help of Second Master Mo's nephew." Immediately, Balabala's Mo Li explained what happened in Xuzhou, and the slight deficiencies were also supplemented by Mo Er.

Mo Li, who understood the whole story, sighed and said: "Alas~! Is it already so chaotic today? These people even dare to rob the officers and soldiers." Fortunately, you didn't lose anything, and instead managed to subdue a force of 10,000 men. Big brother is going to say congratulations to you. ”

Where can Liu Zixiao withstand such praise from Mo Li? He blushed directly to the base of his neck and said: "Where, this is all the credit of Lord Liu Qian and Mo Er's nephew, the foolish brother sat on the horse and did nothing, and almost lost his life." With that, he bowed to Mo Er and thanked him again.

Then the three of them asked Mo Li about his experience during this time. After learning about the twists and turns of Mo Li in the past two months, the three of them were also embarrassed. Although he is not worried about Moli's comfort, he also laments the greed of human nature.

After some deliberation, Mo Li made a battle plan:

1. He and Wu Lin and others continued to investigate secretly;

Second, Liu Zixiao inquired about the account book on the bright side, and Mo Er continued to protect him in secret;

3. Liu Qian led the troops of more than 10,000 people to drill and prevent the opponent's dog from jumping over the wall and launching a mutiny.

The plan was decided, and the people began to go their separate ways.

After ten days of overt and covert visits, everyone has investigated this farming matter.

On this day, Mo Li restored his original appearance, and led Liu Zixiao and other seven people to Yang Kaitai's mansion, ready to talk about the matter face to face.

The moment he saw Mo Li, Yang Kaitai was suddenly shocked, and said secretly in his heart: "Didn't he go back to Beijing, why did he appear here again? Could it be that the corruption between himself and Wu Qing was exposed?" I don't know why I came here today? If you are looking for the lower official and send someone to give a message, the lower official will personally come to visit the door, how dare you bother the national teacher to come in person. ”

Mo Li didn't have the heart to argue with Yang Kaitai, and immediately said, "Lord Yang, the deity won't go around the bend with you." The deity of you and Wu Qing's corruption is already fully known, and you don't have to be false with me. ”

"What are you talking about, Master Guoshi? Kaitai is an honest official, how can he do such a thing?" Although he was shocked in his heart, Yang Kaitai still acted like a wronged little daughter-in-law on his face.

"Lord Yang doesn't have to deny it, and the deity doesn't intend to delve into your problem, otherwise he wouldn't have come to talk to you so kindly. According to what the deity knows, what you are greedy for is only money, and in this corrupt matter, you only account for a small part, and most of the stolen money has been looted by Wu Qing. With that, Mo Li motioned to Liu Zixiao to hand the evidence to Yang Kaitai.

Originally, after listening to Mo Li's words, Yang Kaitai still wanted to kill and not admit it. But after seeing the evidence handed over by Liu Zixiao, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master Guoshi, the lower official knows that he is wrong." Xia Guan was confused for a while, so he got on Wu Qing's thief ship. But the mistake has already been made, and there is no turning back. I also hope that the National Teacher will let go of the official life, and the official is willing to disarm and return to the field, and will no longer appear in front of the adult. ”

Mo Li shook his head and said, "I don't think you have made any big mistakes, and it is not irreparable. All you ask for is a small amount of money. There is a better way here, I wonder if Lord Yang is willing to cooperate?"

As soon as he heard that there was still a way to live, Yang Kaitai immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said gratefully: "The national teacher has commanded, and the lower officials dare not obey." ”

Seeing that Yang Kaitai knew current affairs so well, Mo Li was also a little surprised. From this point of view, this Yang Kaitai is really not an incorrigible person. However, with his character, it is no wonder that he will be bewitched by Wu Qing.

Under Mo Li's instructions, Liu Qian stepped forward to help Yang Kaitai and said with relief: "Lord Yang, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, although we are not on the same front, but we also have some friendships, and Liu will naturally not harm Lord Yang." Lord Yang only needs to act according to what the National Teacher says, Liu does not dare to guarantee that the Lord is rich and noble, but it is a hundred times stronger than you are taking risks like now. ”

Under Liu Qian's relief, Yang Kaitai's emotions gradually calmed down. Mo Li explained his intention and said: "According to the information found by the deity, you and Wu Qing have coveted 500,000 stones of grain and grass, of which you only account for 100,000 stones, and 400,000 stones have gone into Wu Qing's pocket. What you don't know is that Wu Qing is not just planning grain and grass. With these 400,000 stones, grain and grass, he has already recruited 20,000 private soldiers. The deity thought that if there was another year and a half, he would put up a banner and occupy the land as the king. ”

Hearing Mo Li's words, Yang Kaitai was shocked again. There are mixed tastes in my heart, like an overturned cruet. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized, "I said Lord Wu...... Wu Qing, a thief, is so kind, as long as 400,000 stone coarse grain, 100,000 fine grain and not a single grain, it turns out that he wants to recruit private soldiers to rebel. ”

Without waiting for Yang Kaitai's shock to end, Mo Li continued: "As long as you cooperate with the deity, the deity guarantees that you will take ten or a hundred times more than these 100,000 stones in the future, and Your Majesty will definitely not blame you." ”

Listening to Mo Li's promise, Yang Kaitai hurriedly asked, "Please also ask the National Teacher to make it clear." ”

"Later, the deity will send someone to kill the traitor Wu Qing. Lord Yang only needed to release the news after Wu Qing's death that Wu Qing had died of tuberculosis, and led his headquarters to take over Wu Qing's granary and men, and distributed 100,000 stone grains to the people of Yingtianfu, and the remaining 300,000 stone grains and grass and the soldiers recruited by Wu Qing sent people back to Shengjing and handed them over to General Xiang Junhu, who agreed to deploy them. As for the future, it's not too late to talk about it after getting rid of Wu Qing. ”

Seeing that what Mo Li asked him to do was so simple, Yang Kaitai asked with some doubts, "Just ...... So?"

Seeing Mo Li nodding, Yang Kaitai spoke again: "Xia Guan thinks that Xia Guan will send these 100,000 stone grains to distribute to the people of the city, and Wu Qing's 400,000 stone grains and grass will all be sent to General Xiang Junhu's camp." What was needed in this barracks was something to satisfy the hungry, and ordinary food and grass could be supplied. If the lower officials distributed the 100,000 stone grain to the people, the people would eat more comfortably. ”

Who knows, Mo Li shook his head and said: "Now except for the people of Yingtian and Shuntian, the people in the rest of the places are hungry and cold, and they will be grateful to Dade if they can eat enough, who cares whether they eat fine grain or coarse grain? What I want to ask adults to do is not as simple as distributing grain." This distribution is important, but we need to do much more than that. We said on our books that we would distribute 100,000 stone of grain and grass to the people, but in fact we only needed to distribute 20,000 stones. The remaining 80,000 stones will be stored in the treasury, which will be of great use in the future. ”

Although he didn't know what Mo Li meant, Yang Kaitai still agreed, "Yes." It's all at the command of the adults. After that, he said with some pain: "Then the ...... of the 100,000 stone fine grain of the lower official?"

"Hehe, if Lord Yang really thinks that it will occupy a place in the mansion, then send it to the palace and give it to His Majesty and those concubines to eat. This was not said by Mo Li, but by Liu Zixiao.

Looking at Liu Zixiao's young age, Yang Kaitai was a little puzzled, he knew the rest of the people present, even Mo Er had the fate to meet once, but he didn't know Liu Zixiao. However, if he can follow Mo Li's side, he must not be a mortal when he thinks about it, so he immediately returned: "This little brother laughed, how many people are there in Your Majesty and the ladies, and how much can they eat? If these 100,000 stone fine grains are transported into the palace, it will be rotten, and Your Majesty and the ladies will not be able to eat 10,000 orders, and when the time comes, it will still be cheaper for those eunuchs in the palace." In this case, it is better to send it to the mansion of the national teacher. ”

Mo Li interrupted: "It's good that Lord Yang has this heart, but the deity has already passed the valley, so there is no need to eat the food of the mortal world to satisfy his hunger. In Pingsuli, the reason why the deity eats is just to enjoy some appetites, so Lord Yang should keep it for himself. If there is a need in the future, the Buddha-figure is talking to you. ”
