"Aren't you surprised? You've always been followed by a robber. ”

Gao Lin asked rhetorically, because he saw that there was no change in the expression on Mo Qian's face. Mo Qian thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Surprised, but acceptable, I know what kind of person you are during the days I have been in contact with you."

It has nothing to do with what you were like now, and besides, you must have your own considerations when you talk about these things now, right? I'd like to wait for you to finish before commenting. ”

This time it was Gao Lin's turn to be surprised, the people were still unfriendly to some people who had suffered lawsuits, not to mention that he had said that he was a robber, and the dignified prefect's face had not changed, so he had to surprise Gao Lin.

But Mo Qian's words said that Gao Lin's heart went to Go, Gao Lin nodded and said: "Thank you for your generosity, don't hide it, I used to be an ordinary farmer's child in a county under the jurisdiction of Jian'an Prefecture.

Follow your father and mother to sunrise and sunset, although it is hard, you can live, after all, you can't starve to death if you have the strength of your body.

But it was in the eleventh year of the Emperor's accession to the throne, that is, nine years ago.

Daqi was hit by a rare drought, and our village had no harvest, and every family could only survive on the little food rations left over from the old years.

But in the winter of that year, the Hu people in the north also went south to plunder because of famine, and came to our village to plunder, and robbed us of the last little food we had.

Seeing the scene of the baby waiting to be fed, the old man desperately seeking death, and not wanting to drag down the children and grandchildren, I really had no choice, and finally I took my own woodcutter, went to Jian'an City, stole hundreds of rich families overnight, and then distributed the stolen money to the people in the village. ”

"And then?" Mo Qian asked, but the answer was actually about to come out, no matter how obvious it was, no matter how bad the management of Daqi was, but a farmer stole hundreds of rich families, there was no escape.

Sure enough, Gao Lin's mood was a little depressed, "Later, the matter soon happened, and those rich businessmen reported the case, and I was quickly caught, and the prefect of Jian'an City was originally going to sentence me to be beheaded."

But under the plea of the whole village, the prefect also remembered that I had a reason, so he spared my life, and then was selected by the Dragon Protector Villa to join the sinful body in order to make meritorious atonements. ”

Mo Qian frowned, he didn't expect Gao Lin to have such an experience, "Although you have done illegal things, but it is also for the sake of the entire village, I don't judge who is right or wrong, but your righteousness and courage really make me admire." ”

Mo Qian tried to change himself to the other party's position, if such a thing happened to him, he would never dare to do the crazy thing of ransacking hundreds of families overnight.

But he saw Gao Lin wave his hand, "Lord Prefect, you don't have to save face for me, in fact, even if I put things until now, in that situation, I still have to do it, because I have no choice, I can't watch my loved ones, familiar neighbors and relatives cry and die in front of me."

However, a mistake is a mistake, I should not rob others of their money for the sake of the lives of others, this is also morally intolerable, I have to atone for my own mistakes. Gao Lin said categorically.

"It's worthy of being a man from Dragon Guardian Villa, and the past has passed, so tell me what you want to do, right?" Mo Qian nodded.

"My lord, I am still a guilty body, and only when I have established enough meritorious service in the Dragon Guardian Villa can I eliminate the guilt on my body, and only in this way can I go back to worship the ancestral spirit card in a dignified manner."

"And you want to?" Mo Qian wondered.

Gao Lin suddenly knelt down and arched his hand, "I beg my lord to let me participate in the battle when I conquer the Japanese Invaders, and the last general will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy." Mo Qian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I thought it was something, you broke the law, the country has its own laws to control you, even I can't easily change it, if you ask me to intercede for you to reduce the charge, then I am also very embarrassed, but you applied to go into battle to kill the enemy, this is a good thing, how can I not allow it?" ”

"My lord doesn't know, if I go to war, there is no one around me to protect me, this is a big risk, so I really can't say it just now."

Mo Qian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go to war, there are so many people around me, there is no shortage of you, besides, have you forgotten that I also have martial arts in myself, and ordinary people can't even get close." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Gao Lin slammed his head down.

At midnight, the barracks had fallen into silence, only the sound of torches burning and footsteps patrolling back and forth, and several figures suddenly appeared in a dense forest outside the barracks.

Several people looked around, and after finding that no one was following them, they tore off the face towel covering their faces.

"Senior brother, don't you know what's the matter with calling us out so late?" One of them said.

A person pulled off his scarf, and the dim moonlight covered his face, revealing a handsome face, it was Wen Zhaoyun, the senior brother of Yunlou.

Listening to the man's words, Wen Zhaoyun glanced in the direction of the military camp from afar, and said in a deep voice, "Naturally, there is something to let you come out, what is the noise?!" ”

"Yes!" The man hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Senior brother, just give orders." ”

"Well, there is a new development in Mo Qian's affairs, I heard the news that the garrison of Yangcheng is about to deal with the Japanese invaders, and then our opportunity will come."

"Senior brother, please make it clear." "According to the strength and number of the current Yangcheng garrison, it is indeed not a problem to deal with the Japanese Invaders, as long as the Japanese Invaders are defeated, then Mo Qian's reputation in Yangcheng is definitely in full swing, and it is impossible to be shaken again.

When the time comes, if we Yunmen want to grow in Yangcheng, we will definitely be suppressed, or even eliminated at all, how can a person in the officialdom allow a gang that is not controlled by him at all to appear in his own territory, especially if his strength is strong enough. ”

"Is this what the master of the door meant?" Someone asked.

Wen Zhaoyun glared at the other party fiercely, and then said: "This is for the sake of the future of our Cloud Building, if we really wait for Mo Qian to grow stronger, it will inevitably be our great enemy, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots now, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

"In addition, don't tell Qing Xuan about this matter first, she has been deceived by Mo Qian's rhetoric now, and when the time comes, take action to lure her away."
