Chapter 15: Clues (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

As soon as Mu Tong knelt outside the Mu Mansion, his deeds spread throughout the entire Mohai Kingdom, and only a short month had passed.

In Mufu, Mu Tong was still wearing a bandage and a splint on his left hand. The only difference was that his face was ruddy, and his right hand seemed to recover.

Now he is practicing calligraphy in the study accompanied by Mo Qing!

Mo Qing, who was kneeling on the back of the chair of the Taishi, looked boredly at his young master dancing and making ink, and asked puzzledly: "Young master, after you took the [East China Sea Vermilion Tears] that the master asked for a lot of money, you will be cured early tomorrow." Why do you have to pretend to be seriously ill and 'recuperate' at home? Why don't we go out and have fun? Otherwise, our bodies will be rusty. Why don't you go and see Li Yuanhong, she opened a noodle shop after moving out of Mufu, it is said that the business is good, let's go and try it!"

Mu Tong put down his pen playfully and smiled: "Oh, but I think it's good to stay at home." The young master is now a seriously injured person, do you know?"

Mo Qing was anxious when he heard this, his eyes kept rolling, and he was anxious to find a way to encourage the young master to go out.

As Mu Tong's scholar, he has long been used to being wild, how can he be locked up for so long, not to mention that he is still a ten-year-old child, and his playful nature has long made him wear out his patience. Especially after knowing that his young master was pretending to be sick, he even changed his method every day to encourage the young master to go out. Although he can go out by himself, no one will say anything about him, but who is he Mo Qing, how can he, who has long sworn to stay with the young master, leave the young master alone?

"Young master, I think Miss Li is your piano teacher after all, she has moved out of Mufu to open a store for nearly a month, you can't talk about it if you don't come to visit, others will say that you don't respect your teacher. ”

Mu Tong stopped the wolf in his hand in surprise, and said in admiration: "Ouch, I can't see it! Our little Mo Ye even knows how to respect the teacher and use it as an excuse in order to go out to play." It seems that you have gained a lot from reading books with me this month!"

Mo Qing didn't hear anything good, and scratched his head embarrassedly and responded: "Where, where." It's all taught by the young master. ”

"Very good, for the sake of your well-reasoned and morally justified actions this time, I decided to ......"

"Where are you going to play?" Mo Qing, who couldn't wait, looked up at Mu Tong with joy, but unexpectedly, Mu Tong, who was still smiling just now, smiled and said something serious, which immediately made Mo Qing stunned.

"Of course, I decided to let Xiao Mo Ye accompany me to study for another month!"

Mu Tong, who teased Mo Qing for a while, finally followed Mo Qing's wishes, took him to prepare a gift, sat in a sedan chair prepared for "cultivation", and took two guards to visit the piano teacher Li Yuanhong.

Mo Qing didn't know what Mu Tong had done in the month he was recuperating from his injuries, because in this month, in addition to accompanying the young master, he was concentrating on urging the deputy of the fourth master to suppress the Wu family's business. Otherwise, if he knew what his young master had done in the past month, he wouldn't have jumped out and asked the young master to take him to play.

How did he know that in this month, Mu Tong found out the origin of the batch of thieves a month ago through the family shop information network in the three countries.

Although it is not clear their specific identities, a group of people actually looted from the southern border of the Shengwu Kingdom at the earliest, and then did not know how to smuggle across the northern border of the Mohai Kingdom, and after a short confrontation with the northern patrols, they fled to the territory of the Mohai Kingdom, burning and looting along the way, and finally stared at the rich Black Dragon City.

These are all things that can be found on the surface, but the meaning behind the scenes is intriguing.

The thief took Yu Shengwu, but he was not a bandit with superb martial arts and extraordinary combat power in the Shengwu Country, and he only made a mess once in the Shengwu Country and appeared in the northern territory of Mohai. During that time, the Zhenbei Army of the Northern Frontier Army was transferred out of the northern border to take turns to rest, and even Li Kuang, the general of Zhenbei, was transferred back to the royal capital Xiumu.

And it just so happened that the group of thieves crossed the border. Moreover, the group of thieves ransacked the towns along the way, and really caused a lot of tragedies. But from the perspective of time, they simply came directly to Black Dragon City, and they were not random crimes at all who fled in a hurry.

So Mu Tong came to a conclusion that this group of people was not thieves. Because judging from the money they looted, it is estimated that they can buy a few Wu families. But this group of people didn't stop halfway to spend and enjoy the wealth after the looting, but rushed to Black Dragon City to rob the city?

There are only more than 200 thieves, and they actually dare to plunder the Black Dragon City, which has 10,000 city guards and 200,000 perennial garrisons?

If it weren't for the fact that this group of people had the intention to pick the Chongyang night to act, the Black Dragon City had not fought for many years, so the City Lord's Mansion had released the city guards on leave, leaving only a few people on duty at night, and the other party would not have been able to grab the West City Gate with two hundred people.

Therefore, the other party is very clear about the reality of Black Dragon City.

And Mu Tong, who had fought with thieves, faintly felt that this group of people was not thieves at all, but soldiers!

This would explain why they didn't have fun after robbing the money, but instead rushed to Black Dragon City.

Because their goal is Black Dragon City. What has been done in front of me is nothing more than a release of smoke.

But is the other party's target Black Dragon City or their Mu family?

Mu Tong couldn't help but think of the city guards and garrisons that night was late. There are also thieves who can escape under the encirclement and suppression of the garrison.

Mu Tong still can't figure out that there is a big conspiracy in it, so he will read so many books in vain.

All this is too strange, from the north to the Black Dragon City, almost through the entire north and south of the Mohai Kingdom.

A group of 200 thieves can go unhindered and not be discovered. More than a dozen towns were robbed, but there was no movement in the whole country, and there was no news in Black Dragon City.

And as soon as he knelt outside the Mu Mansion, it spread all over the country in less than a month.

The mastermind behind this scene can be said to be very rampant, so Mu Tong thinks that the target of that group of thieves is Mu Fu at all!

He pretended to be sick for a month, and Mufu was calm for a month.

It seems that the people in the shadows still have a backhand!

Therefore, Mu Tong borrowed Mo Qing's ladder and went out to visit the pianist Li Yuanhong to see if he could draw out the other party's feet. Not to mention anything else, the thief leader Mu Tong must be caught, otherwise Mu Tong's public oath will become a laughing stock, and the reputation of the Mu family will plummet, and the people in the dark will never let go of such an opportunity.

"Young master, young master. Mo Qing opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and said to Mu Tong excitedly while pointing to the front: "Young master, look, Miss Li's shop has arrived, it's so lively." There are so many guests. ”

Mu Tong looked at Mo Qing's fingers, and secretly couldn't help but be moved.

Li Yuanhong looks like a person with ten fingers who don't touch the spring water, how can he open a snack shop and be like a cloud?

The curious Mu Tong walked into Li Yuanhong's small shop with the signboard of "Huiwei Building" with Mo Qing's support.

Because Mu Tong remembered that the attic he gave to Li Yuanhong was a three-story attic without a courtyard, he originally thought that this attic would also be a store on the first floor, and the second and third floors were Li Yuanhong's residence. But when I walked into the store, I realized that the small shop was really just a snack shop. On the table were bowls of milky white soup with a strong fragrance, as well as bowls or two of what appeared to be pancakes and braised pork.

The guests took the pancake wrapped in braised pork, took a bite of the flatbread and drank a mouthful of thick soup, and actually ate it with fine flavor and sweated profusely!

The second floor is still full of customers, and the third floor is even more open. This made Mu Tong suspicious, and hurriedly asked Mo Qing beside him, "This... What's going on? Li Shi's whole building is used for business, where does she live?"

Mo Qing smiled proudly, and helped Mu Tong to walk towards the third floor, saying as he walked: "Young master doesn't know, at first Miss Li didn't plan to make the business bigger, but the business was too hot, and the guests who came to eat every day were lined up on the street, so Miss Li bought the yard next door with the money she earned from Yicui Building, plus the money she earned from doing business at the beginning, and opened up the yard and the attic, and she lived in the courtyard next door, and this attic was used for business." Now Ms. Li's shop has become a scene in the West Side, and she herself occasionally plays the piano for guests in the private seat on the third floor. If you want me to say, how good it would be for her to directly change this to a restaurant, just making snacks can make a few bucks. ”

Hearing this, Mu Tong's heart trembled, his footsteps did not stop, and he glanced at Mo Qing with all his thoughts, but the footsteps under his feet were heavier and slower, and his steps were staggering.

PS: It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and I wish you all a happy holiday and happiness.
