Chapter 165: Domineering
comforted Chen Ruoping, Mo Cong went out and asked Steward Mo not to prepare dinner tonight, he wanted to eat outside, and by the way, let him get two basins of hot water to wash his face, and he was ready to wash and go out with Chen Ruoping. The effort was not big, and the six maids came in with two sets of toiletries to serve Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping to wash their faces, Mo Cong was not used to this, so he asked them to put down their things and go out to rest. A few girls looked at each other for a moment, and then put down their things and gently withdrew with trepidation.
After a brief wash, Chen Ruoping led the horse, Mo Cong walked, and the two walked together in the direction of Shangpinxiang Restaurant. When passing through Chen's mansion, Chen Ruoping handed over the war horse and some personal things to Chen Zhu, saying that he was going to eat out at night and asked him not to prepare food.
When they arrived at Shangpinxiang Restaurant, Mo Yu was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly invited Chen Ruoping and Mo Cong to the private room, asked Mo Min to talk to them, and went to the back kitchen to prepare the meals himself.
After entering the private room and sitting down, Mo Min opened his mouth to ask Mo Cong about his situation today.
"Nothing. Mo Cong said, "The emperor was very polite to me, and rewarded me with a lot of wine, a lot of gold and silver treasures, and more than a hundred houses, basically that's it." ”
"There are a lot of beautiful women. Chen Ruoping added with a red face.
"Really?" Mo Min was stunned and turned his head to look at Mo Cong.
"It's a bit much. Mo Cong said. "That place is not far from here, you can't walk half a pillar of incense, you and your eldest brother can move in tonight. ”
"There are so many beautiful women there, don't we bother you when we go?" Mo Min said.
"Don't bother, the house there is too big, I'm afraid of ghosts living alone, you just went there. Mo Cong smiled.
The three of them were joking and talking, and Chen Ruoping suddenly remembered, "Little sister, that thing... Did you tell your boss when you came back?"
"Not yet, you can tell her yourself later, if she cries or whatever, you can comfort her and comfort her, so that she will not be too upset. Mo Min said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll tell her myself later. "Chen Ruoping has had the experience of issuing good person cards many times, and he is familiar with this kind of thing.
The three of them were talking, and the guys from Shangpinxiang Restaurant went up one dish after another, the knife work of the dishes was delicate and attentive, and the color and fragrance were better than the celebration banquet at noon. After the twenty-four dishes were served one after another, Mo Yu came in from outside, and sat down next to Chen Ruoping very shyly and nervously, which made Mo Cong can't help but think of the princess at noon.
But after all, the occasion is different, Chen Ruoping did not ignore it as at noon, but took the initiative to pour wine for Moyu's dishes, praised Moyu's talent and cooking skills, talked about her appearance, Moyu was happy with tears, and her hands were shaking when she gave Chen Ruoping vegetables.
"Brother Chen, you see that Sister Mo likes you so much and has been crying, just hug her and let her stop crying. Mo Min said with mixed emotions on the side.
"Okay, then Sister Mo, don't cry. Chen Ruoping gently hugged Moyu and patted her on the back. When she hugged her like this, Moyu cried even more, and all the thoughts she had been missing for more than two years turned into tears, which fell on Chen Ruoping's armor one by one.
The two were hugging, the door of the private room was pushed open, and several men with five big and three thick men stood at the door, and they were all surprised when they saw the situation in the private room. They originally wanted to laugh a few words, saying that Boss Mo, who had never given face to Zhao Sanye, changed his surname today, and began to hug and hug men, but when they saw Chen Ruoping's silver commander armor, they didn't dare to say anything if they laughed, just standing there and turning around is not not turning around.
"Second Miss, these are Zhao Sanye's people, who came to collect the cash. "Guy Xiao Dongzi was tiptoeing behind a few big men, he was too short to see what was going on inside.
Mo Yu sat up from Chen Ruoping's arms with a red face, wiped the tears on his face, and prepared to go outside to get the silver.
"What kind of money are they here to collect?" Mo Cong looked at Mo Yu strangely.
"It's a monthly collection of protective silver. Mo Yu whispered.
"Protect the silver?" Mo Cong was surprised, "Are they from the government, it seems that the people of the government only collect taxes and silver, and there is no such thing as protecting silver, right?"
"No, I'll get back to you. Moyu stood up and prepared to walk out.
"Wait!" Mo Cong snorted softly and didn't let her go out, "Brother Chen, what's going on with this protective silver, do you know what?, what's Zhao Sanye, who is that?" he turned his head and asked Chen Ruoping.
"It's the gangsters who collect protection money, and Zhao San is Zhao Rong's cousin. Chen Ruoping said.
"Really?" Mo Cong heard Zhao Rong's name, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, "Then the government doesn't care about such a thing?"
"Zhao Rong is the government. Chen Ruoping said disdainfully, "He is in charge of the Internal Affairs Department, and the internal security is under his control, otherwise how could that Zhao San be so arrogant?"
A few big men at the door heard the two of them talking about Zhao Rong and Zhao Sanye so unscrupulously, knowing that such a person could not be provoked, they hurriedly said hello to Mo Yu and said that they would not bother, wishing business prosperity and prosperity, and after a few words, they were ready to slip away, ready to come back another day.
"Stop!" Mo Cong snorted coldly, his eyes were like substance, and several people did not dare to move. "How much money do you collect from here each month?" he asked, looking at a few people.
"My lord, we... We'll only charge a hundred taels!" A man who looked like a leader was trembling under an invisible pressure, and cold sweat flowed down his face.
"One hundred taels a month, and nearly three years of receipt? Mo Cong thought about it for a moment, a smile on his face, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Don't dare, we... We are just errand runners, begging the adults to raise their noble hands and spare the little ones. Several people felt a cold momentum rushing towards them, and suddenly their knees fell to their knees and kowtowed.
"You go back and bring a message to that Zhao San, let him send five thousand taels of silver over within half an hour, if you can't deliver it then, I will go to his house to collect the cash, and it will be collected monthly, get out!" Mo Cong knew that such people were bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when they pushed open the door of the private room, they still had a very ruthless and domineering look on their faces, and when they saw the talents in the private room, they changed their expressions, and Mo Cong didn't have a good face for such a person.
A few people rushed to the amnesty.
The door of the private room was closed, and several people continued to eat, Mo Cong asked in detail, Mo Yucai said that Zhao Sanye was the leader of the Ruiguo Qinglong Gang, and in the past few years, with the help of Zhao Rong's power, he has annexed other gangs of all sizes in the capital, not only dominating the capital, but also having rudders throughout the country. The main source of income of this Qinglong Gang is Dujiang Caoyun, but the common methods of the gang such as collecting and protecting money and lending usury have not been left behind, and they have all made a fortune anyway. They not only collect protective silver in Shangpinxiang Restaurant, but also collect it in shops and stalls of all sizes in the capital, but the amount charged is different according to the size and scale of the store.
Listening to Mo Yu's words, Mo Cong remained silent, thinking to himself secretly.
"Mo Cong, don't be angry, these people are not worth it. Chen Ruoping saw that Mo Cong was just thinking about things when he didn't eat, so he poured Mo Cong a glass of wine and persuaded him.
"I'm not angry, I just think that we are fighting desperately at the border, and so many good brothers have died, but Zhao Rong and that Zhao San are powerful in the country, and when I think of this, I feel even more hateful about these guys. Mo Cong drank all the wine in the glass, pinched the wine glass in his hand and turned it. "I remember that there was a guy named Zhao Si in the Leopard Camp, he was the one who ate on the street and didn't give money and pulled out a knife to cut people, and it seems that he is also related to Zhao Rong, it seems that this Zhao family is really a tyrant of the Rui country. ”
"Yes, Zhao Rong has been in charge of the Internal Affairs Department for many years, there are party henchmen in the court, and there are minions among the people, and the Zhao family's power in Rui is a bit big. Chen Ruoping nodded, "That Zhao San and the Blue Dragon Gang are just the tip of the iceberg that floats, and there are still many forces in the invisible places." ”
"So powerful?" Mo Cong smiled, "Brother Chen, I thought you had been in the military camp for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so clear about these things, what other forces do he have, can you tell me more about it?"
"I also heard Yan Tao say a lot of things, and if it's too specific, it's not very clear. Let's eat, and stop talking about these unhappy things. Chen Ruoping poured Mo Cong another glass of wine.
"By the way, Commander Yan... I want to meet him as soon as possible, when can you help me with the introduction?" asked Mo Cong.
"Didn't you meet at noon, and you also ate at the same table, how else do you need my introduction?" Chen Ruoping smiled.
"I wanted to say thank you, but there were a lot of things that I couldn't say on that occasion. Mo Cong also smiled, "Brother Chen, you can take me to Commander Yan's house to visit you after you are busy in the past few days, I heard him talk about a lot of things today, I think he is a well-informed person, and I would like to hear him talk about some things in Ruiguo again." ”
"Okay, then let's find a suitable time to pass. Chen Ruoping poured himself a glass of wine, touched it with Mo Cong, and drank half a glass.
"Second brother, then you'd better go today, people have helped so much, I want to thank you. "Mo Min hopes that Mo Cong will be able to find out the whereabouts of the old man today.
"Forget it today. Today, Brother Chen has Brother Chen's affairs, and I have my affairs, so I don't have much time. Mo Cong said.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and there are strange people everywhere, and one of the readers of this book has unfortunately come across one.
The book friend who adds a collection every day and subtracts it immediately, in this way to urge the change, you collect the collection yourself, don't take it out every day to play.
The speed of the codeword depends on the mood state, everyone's support is more, the author's emotional state is good, the speed of the codeword is naturally fast, and the plot is also refreshing. If you rush to change in that way, it can only be counterproductive, not only slowing down the speed, but also making the plot unpleasant. So for the sake of everyone's mood of reading books, you can go elsewhere to play, I am also very welcome to read books here, but don't play this kind of trick again, it's very boring.
