Chapter Seventy-Three: The Spy (2)
Mo Lan walked on the road, feeling a little desolate in her heart, and turned her head to look at Lu Wu, who was following behind her with dull eyes.
She took out the dagger, put it back after repeated forbearance, the yellow-brown formation lit up, and Mo Lan took him to the small courtyard in the south of the city.
A few days ago, she discovered that this earth-based teleportation array was more secretive than the light-based teleportation array on the ground, and the activation time was shorter.
It seems that injecting different spiritual powers into different formations can achieve twice the result with half the effort, no wonder it is said that the "Red Abyss Formation" can be learned even if it is not a light system.
Feeling the fluctuations, he hurried over, "Master, what is this?" ”
"You arrange for someone to go to No. 46 Jiqing Street, there is an old woman there, watch her, don't let her go out, no matter what the method, just stay in the yard alive."
Mo Lan looked at Lu Wu in front of him with a cold expression, and he didn't even look up and forget to return.
"Yes."
He glanced at Lu Wu again, always feeling a little familiar.
"Little mushroom, control his mind and let him tell the truth."
The two little mushrooms who were lying in the space soaking in the hot spring heard this and jumped out directly.
"Who did you go to see today with your book? What was done? ”
"A woman, she asked me to steal the book out and give it to her, and gave me 20,000 taels of silver."
"What does it look like?"
"I don't know, she's wearing a white hood and a gauze hat on her head, I can't see it."
Mo Lan's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, twenty thousand taels, enough for their mother and son to leave the Mo family and live a good life.
"How did you meet her?"
"About half a year ago, I found out that someone was spending money to inquire about the old lady's news, I told them, I knew where the old lady was, someone brought me to the woman, I told her that the old lady went to Jiangnan, got two hundred taels of silver, and then the old lady had an accident, she gave me another thousand taels, let me find someone to dig the old lady's grave, find a box, last month she asked me to find a book, promised to give me 20,000 taels of silver after the deed."
Mo Lan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Does your mother know about this?" ”
Lu Wu's eyes were still glazed, staring at the mechanical answer in front of him, "I don't know, but she told me about the old lady, including her about Gu Zhili." ”
Mo Lan stood up, and in order to control him conveniently, she took out the traction pill and fed it to him.
The mycelium retained by the golden needle will be automatically excreted from the body after a long time, and it can be retained by eating it with traction pills.
"Master, the old woman wants to come out to find her son, but she has been controlled by our people."
Forget to return to the hand with a piece of paper that explains the situation.
Mo Lan didn't expect him to move so quickly, "How did you find these people?" ”
"Back to the master, I went to the slave market, specially picked some good control, and some orphans near the capital, provided them with shelter and food, and those who stayed to serve the master made a heavenly oath, the master can rest assured."
Mo Lan was suddenly a little tired, "You can just look at it, and let Mu Yu and Hua Yu go to the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow morning and sign up for the army." ”
Forget to return was a little stunned, "Then you go to the academy in a few days, and there will be no one around you." ”
"It's okay, by the way, why isn't Wen Li's here?"
"She can't be idle, and two days ago, she paid 10,000 taels of silver from Xin Yi to buy the half-dead Qinglou."
Mo Lan rubbed her eyebrows, "When I was away, you all listened to Xin Yi's arrangement, I was a little tired, so I went home first." ”
Three days later, early in the morning, Ai Xiang came to knock on the door, "Miss, my aunt is here, and she is making trouble at the gate." ”
Mo Lan, who was refining medicine repeatedly in the space, opened his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Bring people into the front yard, and by the way, call all the people in the mansion." ”
"Miss, everyone?"
"Everyone."
The old woman was lying at the door, reluctant to enter the door, and many people had gathered around the Mo family.
"Auntie, come in."
When the old woman saw Mo Lan, she turned over directly and followed her into the courtyard.
"Miss, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, ask me to make a big fuss, I haven't seen my son yet."
"Hmph, you'll see him soon."
Song Fuyue sat on the main seat, and Mo Lan stood on the steps in the courtyard, looking at the gathered people with sharp eyes.
"When the old lady went out of the funeral, I once said that provoking the Mo family is a dead end, bring it up!"
Yu Ming carried Lu Wu out of the corner, his body was covered in scars, blood hung from the corners of his mouth, and he was half dead.
"What did you do to my son?"
The old woman pounced on her, crying with snot and tears.
"A few days ago, I lost something at home, a wooden box, I placed a ban on it, no matter who took it, it would leave a breath, auntie, your son stole something, and everyone got it!"
The old woman began to sprinkle, crying and shouting, causing the people outside to poke forward again.
"You are the master, my son is just a slave of your family, what you say is what it is? How can the poor have the right to redress their grievances? ”
Mo Lan saw a few people who were thieves and laughed mockingly, a few petty thieves, she didn't care.
"Lu Wu, you say it yourself."
Lu Wu was lying on the ground, already out of breath and less in breath, "I stole the eldest lady's things." ”
"Even if that's the case, it's good for you to report to the official, such an abuse of lynching, I'm going to sue you!"
The old woman viciously protected her son behind her, and the people outside the door began to point fingers, and even the subordinates began to be indignant.
"Lu Wu, go on."
"I was still deluded and told outsiders about the old lady, and she was poisoned to death."
After Lu Wu finished speaking, he lay on the ground and cried, the moment he saw his mother, he began to be afraid.
Song Fuyue stood up from his position and looked at him incredulously, "What you said is true?" ”
"It's me, it's my ghost, but my mother doesn't know anything, please let her go."
The old woman protected him behind her, "Don't forget, if my family hadn't given Mo Tu a bowl of rice to eat, he would have starved to death, where would you still be here to enjoy happiness!" ”
Mo Lan took out a stack of papers, which was full of writing, "This is the dictation of the people who are still alive in Yehao Village, your Lu family has been a hired farmer of the Mo family since the beginning, and you have used all means to get the Mo family's fields and property, and you give my grandfather food?" Joke! When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he only had a few torn books, a pair of shoes with holes, and two copper plates, and your skin was not ordinarily thick! ”
"So what! My Lu family has always raised him! ”
"Fifteen years ago, you took your son to my father, all these years, house, land, food and clothing, what kind of treatment my Mo family has treated you badly, it is worth killing my grandmother! What's more, the Lu family was not robbed by bandits at all, it was your husband who killed someone, and you were driven out! ”
"Everyone listen to me, anyone who is unfaithful, I can't afford it! Let you all come today, there is only one purpose, if you want to stay, make a heavenly oath and never betray. Correspondingly, I will provide you with cultivation resources, my Mo family does not have the habit of forcing people to change their surnames, and those who join our clan can keep their names. ”
The subordinates looked at each other, but no one dared to move.
Blue Butterfly stepped forward, "I'm the old man of the Mo family, I'll set an example first." ”
Her hands were sealed, and the formation of heaven and earth fell, "My blue butterfly once again made a heavenly oath, loyal to the Mo family in this life, loyal to duty, and never betrayed, if there is a violation, heaven and earth will not be tolerated, and the form and spirit will be destroyed!" ”
The formation contracted into a ray of light that fell into her brow.
Mo Lan brought a chair and sat in the middle of the courtyard, "I'll give you a day, and if you think about it, you will come to me one by one and swear, if you don't want to, leave before dark." Those who don't leave will be dealt with as spies. ”
After speaking, the dagger in his hand flew out and plunged straight into Lu Wu's chest, and he fell to the ground in response.
The old woman struggled frantically, held down by Nightsong.
When it was dark, more than 20 people stayed, Mo Lan smiled with relief, fortunately, half of them stayed.
"Tomorrow, I will post your duty schedule, change the guard in shifts, and each person will be on duty for four hours a day, and then I will concentrate on cultivation."
"Yes, Miss!"
It wasn't until everyone was gone and the door was closed that Mo Lan stood up, walked up to Lu Wu and kicked him.
"Get up!"
The old woman looked dazed, saw her son come back from the dead, crawled backwards for some distance, and then pounced on him, hugged him and cried.
"Your mother is right, the Lu family has always made my grandfather grow up, I don't think my father wants to see your mother and son spill the blood of the Mo family, take your mother away in the future, don't let me see you again, if you have a different heart, I will kill your mother together!"
Lu Wu was tied with a rope, his head hit the ground heavily, and again and again, "Thank you for the grace of the eldest lady not to kill, thank you for the eldest miss, thank you for ......"
Mo Lan waved her hand and asked Ye Ming Yuming to take their mother and son away.
Song Fuyue shook her head and walked to Mo Lan's side, "You are old now, you have the final say on the affairs of the family, you have handled today's affairs well, your father will indeed not let you kill them, now that the people have been driven away, there is nothing to do, my mother will go back to the room first." ”
In the middle of the night, Mo Lan sat on the edge of the bed and listened to Yeming's report, and they quietly followed Lu Wu's mother and son after sending them out of the city.
It didn't take long for them to be shot with arrows, and because they didn't use spiritual power, they couldn't detect what strength the other party was.
"Go and rest."
