After a month's rest, Wei Shihao raised troops from the Jingliu area, and Nandan Tusi led his troops to attack Xincheng County from Shibiewei Field to help this prospective son-in-law.

A week later, the Xincheng Tusi Yamen was breached, and Ensheng was also captured.

The cage of the Tusi Yamen where Ensheng was imprisoned was the place where Wei Shihao was held at that time.

The victory came too suddenly, and the common people who had long hated Ensheng sang and danced, and the land of Xincheng was filled with a joyful atmosphere of celebrating the victory.

The state official came from Qingyuan Mansion to congratulate Wei Shihao and announced that he had taken up the post of Xincheng Tusi.

"Wei Shihao, you're a fucking hairy boy who hasn't dried up your milk, and you deserve to be a toast? In the past ten years, I have become a toast with my ability, and I have managed Xincheng in an orderly manner. If Gonggong An knows, he will definitely report to the emperor, and then copy your whole family and punish your nine clans, and you will definitely become a sinner through the ages. When Ensheng saw Wei Shihao, who was dressed in official uniform, sending the state official to the yamen, he desperately pounded the stake of the cage and shouted.

When the governor heard that it was Ensheng who was "shouting grievances", he smiled, turned back with Wei Shihao, turned right in front of the cage, and mocked Ensheng.

"Yo, it's Master Ensheng Toast? Which death row prisoner am I supposed to be? The governor walked to the front of the cage and said in a strange manner.

"Hmph, you don't come to this set. The surname is Mo, you wait for me, you secretly helped Wei Shihao rebel, do you think En's don't know? Don't be too happy, my Enmou will definitely report this matter to Father-in-law An, so that you, the state official, will die and become a traitor who is spurned by all people. "Eun Sheng still looks arrogant.

"Haha, you're wrong!" The state official shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "Look at it, he was caught by you in the cage you live in before, and his name is Wei Shihao, that's right!" However, now that he has returned home and has also served as the sixteenth Tusi of Xincheng, he can no longer use his original name, and should be called Mo Zongzhao. Ensheng, listen well, if you want to sue, you will sue the 16th Tusi Mo Zongzhao, and it is useless to sue Wei Shihao. However, it seems that you don't have a chance to sue in front of Gonggong An, and you have been sued by Lord Yama. ”

The old man of the state official proudly pointed to Ensheng in the cage, and said to Wei Shihao in a mocking tone: "Mo Zong's edict Tusi, should you prisoners in the prison be beheaded for public display?" Or do you want to do it? ”

When Ensheng heard the words "Mo Zongzhao", his whole body was shocked, he staggered back, and almost fell to the ground. Is this person the son of Mo Huairen who he has been "planning" - Mo Zongzhao?

The more Eun Sheng looked at it, the more he looked like it, and his face suddenly turned like dust.

Wei Shihao said very cooperatively: "The state official is Mingjian, Zong Zhao is the first time to handle the case, and he is inexperienced, and he doesn't know how to torture prisoners like this. ”

Since taking up the position of Xincheng Tusi, Wei Shihao has changed his name to Mo Zongzhao, although he still feels a little awkward, but the position of Tusi is hereditary, and he should change his original name when he takes the position.

"Haha...... Now that you are the master of Xincheng Tusi, how to deal with the prisoners, it's not up to you to have the final say? The governor said.

Mo Qinglian smiled knowingly and said: "At that time, Ensheng gave Ling Chi the edict, I think it is better to give Ling Chi without being rude!" ”

"You ......" Ensheng was so frightened that his limbs trembled, and then Mo Qinglian said in horror.

Then, he shouted again: "You are Mo Huairen's son - Mo Zongzhao?" ”

Mo Zongzhao smiled and said, "Otherwise? Haven't you heard that when you stormed the Tusi Yamen, there was a two-year-old baby who was stuffed out of the manure mouth of the pigsty? That baby is me? ”

"Impossible, impossible." Ensheng had heard about this, but he had never been able to find Mo Zongzhao, so he subjectively thought that Mo Zongzhao was long gone, and now when he heard that the person standing in front of him and who was once his prisoner was Mo Zongzhao, he couldn't accept it at all.

"No...... I'm Gonggong's man, you can't put me to death, I want to sue the emperor...... I want to sue the royal ...... "Ensheng knows that death is coming, so he can only move out of the life-saving straw - Gonggong An."

"Shut up, how can Father-in-law An be in the same league with a remnant and prisoner like you, and if you talk nonsense, you will cut off your tongue first." A eunuch who was standing behind everyone immediately squeezed to the front and said.

This eunuch was a close confidant of Father-in-law An.

In order to draw a clear line with Lu Dahai, Ensheng and other local henchmen and protect himself, Gonggong An specially sent him to Xincheng, nominally to assist Mo Zongzhao in handling the case, but in fact, he supervised and prevented other fallen henchmen from controlling him.

"Who are you? Where do you have to speak here? Ensheng said.

"Who am I? Tell you about it! Gonggong An was worried that Mo Tusi was young and benevolent, and he spared the traitor, so he specially sent Xiao Guizi down to supervise the case. Xiao Guizi said.

"Huh?" Ensheng collapsed to the ground again, this father-in-law An crossed the river and demolished the bridge, it was really ruthless.

"No...... Father-in-law An, you dead old eunuch, poisonous scorpion heart. Usually, En does his best to do things for you, and when it comes, you don't count crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but you have to fall into the well. No wonder, you have become a eunuch, and you will never have a queen, you will not die well! ”

Ensheng Yitong's scolding also angered Xiao Guizi, because he was also a eunuch.

"You...... You...... You...... Mom, that's too ugly...... Give me a mouth...... Woohoo......"

Xiao Guizi sent out a sissy full of anger, and after her fragile heart was hit, she was sad and cried like a woman.

After Mo Zongzhao gave a look, several jailers immediately did as Xiao Guizi said, and beat Ensheng into a pig's head, unable to speak anymore.

Originally, after announcing that Mo Zongzhao was appointed as the Tusi of Xincheng, the state official planned to return to his home, but when Ensheng made a fuss, he remembered that when he saved Mo Zongzhao on the guillotine, Ensheng was so arrogant in all kinds of obstructions, so he temporarily changed his mind and wanted to stay to see how Ensheng was executed.

In fact, the state official didn't want to offend the red man next to the emperor, Gonggong An, and also wanted to see Mo Zongzhao execute Ensheng with his own eyes, so as not to leave future troubles.

Xiao Guizi urged him tightly, and the state official wanted to personally supervise Ensheng's case, so Mo Zongzhao hurriedly tried the case and sentenced Ensheng to death, and beheaded him in public three days later, and the location was set up in the South Gate Square, which was the place where Ensheng wanted to execute him last year.

After the news spread, in broad daylight, people set off fireworks in the streets and alleys of Xincheng County to celebrate the fall of Ensheng Tusi.

On the third day, on the South Gate Square, there was a sea of people, and the prisoner Ensheng was escorted to the guillotine and knelt before the people. The vegetable skins and rotten eggs prepared for him by the angry people smashed them all over him, making Ensheng embarrassed.

At noon, after Mo Zongzhao announced the publication, Ensheng's head fell to the ground, which announced that Ensheng's history of ruling Xincheng for more than ten years had turned a new chapter.

At dusk, Mo Zongzhao stood in the courtyard of the Tuyamen, his heart was generous, this is his home, once occupied by the enemy for a full seventeen years, now he has returned, avenged his father, and removed harm for the people, this is really thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!

In his career, he can be described as proud, but emotionally, he is a real failure.

Although there is a beautiful and lovely beauty who has always helped her and loved him, and he can also feel her conscience, but he has always had the place of that person in his heart, but why is that person suddenly unwilling to meet him, or even unwilling to deal with him?

After the overthrow of Ensheng, he sent someone to the inner city to invite her to witness his inauguration ceremony, and to witness him personally announce Ensheng's death sentence, but why didn't she come?

Mo Zongzhao is both civil and military, witty, and skillful, but he usually faces the girl he likes, but he seems so clumsy that he can't express himself or make her happy, so that her misunderstanding of him is getting deeper and deeper, right?

That's what he guessed!

Mo Qinglian saw it in her heart, so she walked to his side and said frankly: "Do you miss her?" If you want her, go to her, right? The inner walled city is not far away, and you can reach it by riding a horse and half a pillar of incense. ”

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Facing her who was empathetic, Mo Zongzhao suddenly looked embarrassed, and said against his will: "I am thinking that in the future, Xincheng Tuxian should be developed so that the people can live a good life." You're overthinking. ”

"Don't lie to me again, one of your expressions, one sentence, I can read what you are thinking. If you want to talk to her, just go, it's no big deal. A manly man dares to love and hate! If you don't go to her and make it clear, you will have a pimple in your heart in this life, and you will be unhappy. ”

"Oh, no need. I don't understand, when she left Jingliu last year, she was fine, and she said in the mountain song that she would meet the next year. But I don't know why, after the New Year, she stopped paying attention to me. What exactly is this for? ”

As the words had been spoken, Mo Qinglian tearfully told him about Mo Man's special trip to Qingyuan Mansion to ask her in order to save him. At the same time, she also told him that she was so jealous that she asked Morman to promise to give up on him and never meet him alone.

No matter what the two girls do, it's all for him, is there a right or wrong thing?

However, emotionally, Mo Zongzhao still favored Mo Man, he pointed at Mo Qinglian and scolded: "You are playing a little trick in the danger of others, it is immoral!" ”

Although Mo Zongzhao's words were a little heavier, he didn't mean to blame her, he just felt that he owed Mo Man too much, so on the spur of the moment, he asked his subordinates to prepare horses and go to the inner city to find Mo Man, wanting to explain things clearly.

When Mo Qinglian saw Mo Zongzhao's reaction, the self-blame and jealousy in her heart flared up together, and with tears in her eyes, she went back to her room to pack her luggage, planning to go back to Nandan's house and never set foot in the realm of Xincheng again.

However, Wei Ermei and Li Maozai would let her be willful, and they desperately stopped her and didn't let her go.

After Xie Yingqun and Li Fengmei arrived, she reluctantly stayed after repeatedly comforting her.

When Mo Zongzhao stepped on horseback and was about to go out, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Master Qiqi Tusi, there are people who have come to report, and the singer of the inner walled city, Mo Man, came to participate in the judgment meeting of Ensheng, and when he returned to Banhe Zhaimao, he encountered a wicked person robbing the road. Morman resisted desperately and was lucky enough to escape, but the robbers gave chase to him. Mo Man had fled to the mountain behind Banhe Village, and his situation was in danger, so he asked the Yamen to rescue him. ”

"Bastard, such a big event, why don't you save people first, and then come and tell me? Hurry up and save people......" After hearing this, Mo Zongzhao screamed heartbreakingly, and then slapped his horse and rushed to Banhe Village alone.

When Li Maozai heard this, he immediately organized a team of people to chase after him.

Mo Qinglian heard that Mo Man was robbed, and she also followed with full armor.

When Mo Zongzhao arrived at the mountain behind Banhe Village, it was already too late.

In order to prevent the other party from catching him, Morman jumped to his death in front of a cave in the back mountain.

According to local insiders, it was Deng Qian's apprentices who robbed the road.

Deng Qiantu knew that Mo Zongzhao loved Mo Man deeply, so he tried to arrest Mo Man in order to coerce him into giving him the post of Tu Si in order to achieve his ulterior motives.

Morman refused, in order not to affect the bright future of her sweetheart, she would rather give up her life than let the wicked succeed.

When Mo Zong obtained all this, he hugged Mo Man's cold corpse tightly and cried bitterly, the cry was shocking, crying ghosts and gods, all of which made people cry.

As the first person to weave brocade in Xincheng and even the whole country, Mo Zong Zhao is the favorite of Mo Zongzhao, so Mo Zongzhao buried her with the highest etiquette, and named the cave next to her cliff jumping site "Mo Man Rock" to commemorate a generation of brocade patriarch and loyal singer Mo Man.

Although the octagonal village is the nest of bandits, but this group of mountain bandits has always robbed the rich and helped the poor, and it does not harm the common people in Xincheng, so the successive Tusi have turned a blind eye, and every time they received an order from the top to suppress the bandits, they also put on a show, and did not do their best to encircle and suppress, so that the octagonal village continues to grow.

Mo Zong's edict was that Deng Weili and Deng Qiantu were both villagers in the township, and they had not really done anything wrong except for exploiting the people before, so he originally planned that as long as their father and son lived peacefully in the octagonal village from now on and did not harm the people, they would no longer be killed and let them go.

I didn't think that the comfortable life made the Octagonal Village fluttering, and under the instigation of Deng Weili and Deng Qiantu, the Octagonal Village had decided to revolt (Note: There is a record of the "Bazhai Uprising" in the history of Xincheng).

This information has reached the ears of Mo Zongzhao. Now, in order to help the uprising of Bajiaozhai, Deng Qiantu harmed the innocent Mo Man, which made Mo Zongzhao very angry, and immediately made up his mind to wipe out the Bajiaozhai.

In that year, after the Tusi Yamen of Ensheng Xincheng was captured, some of Mo Huairen's subordinates were forced to take refuge in Octagonal Village.

It is precisely because of this fact that Qin Zhenhui relied on himself and fought bravely, personally entered the Octagonal Village, and persuaded his former colleagues to join Mo Zongzhao, and succeeded.

Three months later, the time was ripe for an attack on Octagonal Village. Mo Zongzhao was eager to avenge Mo Man, and personally led heavy troops to annihilate the mountain bandits in Octagonal Village in one fell swoop.

In this war, the inside and the outside should be combined, the octagonal village is vulnerable, and all the men above the adult age were killed in this battle, Deng Weili and Deng Qiantu were also among them.

It is rumored that Mo Zong's edict also avenged Mo Man, refused to accept the surrender of the mountain bandits in Bajiao Village, and killed them all.

After quelling the Octagonal Zhai Uprising, Mo Zongzhao could not forget Mo Man's kindness to him for a long time, so he vigorously developed the agricultural economy, vigorously promoted the cultivation of mulberry silkworms, brocade, and the brocade industry in Xincheng also reached its heyday, and there was a thriving scene.

The history books have the ancient poem "July" as evidence:

In July, the mountain city is brightly lit,

Every family weaves brocade to three watches.

After the neighboring chickens sang and stopped,

and listen to the sound of anvils and the sound of mortars.
