Chapter Ninety-Two: The Meat Pool
Meat pool!
A popular 'salutation' among the nobility of the Seven Kingdoms.
In the past, the king of Shang took wine as a pool, meat as a forest, and a drink for the long night, and said that it was 'wine pond meat forest'.
This is where the name of the meat pond comes from.
It's just that the 'meat' in the meat pool does not describe the meat to eat, but the meaning of handsome men and beautiful women.
The original meat pond was just a kind of absurd and extravagant aristocratic activity created by some nobles in order to be vassally elegant, imitating the 'wine pond meat forest', and a certain nobleman specially cultivated a group of handsome men and beauties, and then everyone had fun together.
For such a 'meat pool', Mo Jun can also understand, after all, it is not a mistake to be rich and hobby to enjoy, he also loves to enjoy, even if the private life of these nobles is a little bit absurd, it is actually not a big deal.
But I don't know when the nature of the 'meat pool' has quietly changed.
Some nobles began not to be satisfied with spending money to buy slaves for training, but began to rob the people's daughters and force them to become prostitutes through some inferior means.
Even now, the 'meat pool' has become a completely different activity······
······
In a basement of the Rong clan, which was very similar to the Feng Mansion, dozens of children in ragged clothes and distorted bodies were huddled together, looking at the light that suddenly came through the door, and suddenly showed terrified eyes.
There were still three or four figures lying in a dark corner of the basement, no longer moving, they were bodies that had long since died.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, which was even more shocking than hell, Mo Jun suddenly laughed, and laughed so loudly that his bloodshot red eyes couldn't help but shed tears.
"Hehe~~Hahahaha~~~"
"I'm wrong!"
Mo Jun suddenly spoke softly, as if he was deliberately speaking to a few people around him, and as if he was muttering to himself.
"I've tried to underestimate the bottom line of you guys, but I find I'm still naïve."
"I can understand that you are a stranger to the grain. Although the behavior is bad, in business, in order to make money, there is always a reasonable reason. ”
"You are rebelling, I can understand that. After all, as the former nobles of the Chu State, they have different intentions towards the Qin State, and I can accept it. ”
"But I really can't understand your current behavior!"
As he spoke, Mo Jun suddenly turned his head, showed a hideous ghost-like smile towards Mrs. Rong, and said slowly, "Huh? Madame Rong, can you please tell me, are you nobles really so short of money? ”
"You aristocrats are so poor that you need to sell people and children. Harvesting and cutting, so that this group of children who are only in their teens, or even less than ten years old, can go out to beg and live? ”
"I remember that the value of a slave is not high now!"
"Why······ You people don't even have a way to survive for these lowest-level homeless people? ”
In the end, Mo Jun's voice became softer and softer, and his expression became calmer and calmer.
However, the more calm this attitude was, the more awe the people around him, especially Mrs. Rong, who was standing beside Mo Jun, felt an unprecedented panic in her heart.
Before today.
She thought she had seen through Mo Jun.
Compared with the other three major clans, as a woman's caution, Mrs. Rong never underestimated the new Nanjun county guard in front of her.
Especially after a period of secret investigation, Mrs. Rong found that Mo Jun, a young boy who looked young, was far from being as simple as others imagined.
He's too low-key.
Since entering Nanjun, Mo Jun is like an invisible person in Nanjun.
But this invisible man has not only lived in Nanjun for so long, but even completed a deal with the four major clans.
Whether it was for the four major clans, or for Mo Jun himself, all these actions seemed to be going well, and even some of them were too smooth.
Especially in the assassination of the county guard mansion a year ago, in the face of the attack and killing of the assassins of the six countries, Mo Jun not only did not suffer any damage, but even hung the heads of more than a hundred assassins outside the county guard mansion, which made Mrs. Rong feel that Mo Jun was hiding deeply.
So she investigated Mo Jun more deeply, and at the same time became more vigilant.
The black-armored soldiers had just arrived outside the Rong clan tonight, and Mrs. Rong realized that something was wrong, because according to what she had learned during this time, Mo Jun was by no means the kind of person who would fight a 'battle of uncertainties'.
Therefore, when the rest of the Rong clan put on a posture of 'I want to see what a mere county guard can do to me', Mrs. Rong was obedient on the surface, but secretly decisively drugged all the members of the Rong clan.
After all, she can hold the power of the 'acting head of the family' in her hands, and Mrs. Rong naturally can't just be a simple woman.
To be exact.
The reason why the current head of the Rong clan was seriously ill three years ago was because of her hands.
And according to her understanding, although 'rebellion' and 'stockpiling food and financing the enemy' are both major crimes, for Mo Jun, it is actually not much different from the ordinary crime of 'killing the head'.
However, the four major clans smuggled armor before to help the Chu State attack and kill Mojun, and the crime was even more serious.
But as an 'outsider' of the Rong clan, as long as the relationship is clean enough, there is still a great hope of saving her life and that of the Lu clan.
Originally, Mrs. Rong had already calculated everything.
As a result, I didn't expect that there would be a mistake in the matter of 'meat pool'.
"Does the Lu clan have a meat pool?"
Mo Jun's voice was very soft and faint, it sounded like an ordinary friend chatting, but Mrs. Rong, who heard the inquiry, her face changed in shock, and her brain thought for a few seconds, and she was about to open her mouth to explain.
However, before she could open her mouth, she saw Mo Jun nodding: "I see, it seems that the answer is already obvious." ”
Mrs. Rong's face turned pale suddenly.
And Mo Jun slowly turned to Li Xin and asked, "General Li, according to the laws of Qin, he plotted rebellion, made armor privately, abducted and sold people, and harvested and tortured······ How will the sentence be imposed if the punishment for several crimes is combined? ”
Li Xin said solemnly: "If you return to your lordship, just by making armor privately and plotting rebellion, it is enough to punish the three clans. ”
Mo Jun said slowly: "In that case, what are you waiting for here?" ”
Li Xin's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but persuade in a low voice, "My lord, this is ······ Is it better to wait until the king makes an edict before making a move, this matter is too implicated, if so many old nobles are arrested overnight today, I am afraid that the entire southern county will be in turmoil. ”
Mo Jun glanced at him coldly and said, "What are the consequences, this official will bear it." ”
"Yes!"
Hearing the determination in Mo Jun's words, Li Xin's face changed, and he immediately stopped hesitating, answered, and immediately led a group of black-armored soldiers out.
The status of Mo Jun and Li Xin is not equal, although the two of them have both official positions and civil and military positions, but in addition, whether it is a military lord, a military connection, or a reputation in the army, Mo Jun is above Li Xin.
In addition, in the management of the flood in Nanjun this time, Mo Jun is the commander of the king's own order, so if Mo Jun forcibly ordered, Li Xin would not refuse the power.
"Send someone to bring these children back to the county guard's mansion, and let the medicine ghosts do their best to heal, and any medicine can be used."
"Then find someone to draw a portrait and see if any of their family members come to claim it, and if someone claims it, let them take the child back, remember, be sure to determine the identity of the person who claimed it."
"As for those that are unclaimed, they will be adopted by the official first."
Mo Jun originally planned to go in and comfort the children inside, but thinking of the reaction he had seen those children in the Feng clan before, he finally gave up this idea.
Many of these people's spirits have collapsed in endless torment, and without years of recuperation, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover.
If you go in now, no matter what you say, it will only irritate them.
So Mo Jun simply arranged the next processing tasks and was about to leave this place first, but just before leaving, he suddenly thought of something and said again.
"In addition, the collateral bloodlines of the Rong clan can give them a good time, as for those descendant bloodlines, don't kill them yet, understand?"
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Seeing Mo Jun's indifferent gaze, everyone present was shocked.
Judging from Mo Jun's current actions, Mo Jun, who has already destroyed the three major clans, obviously cannot be a soft-hearted person, so since leaving those lineage bloodlines is not to let them go, then it can only be to make them suffer more torture.
Although the criminal law of the Qin State may not be as good as the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, there are still many types of criminal law at present.
After turning around.
Mo Jun suddenly made a move, and his five fingers were like sharp eagle claws, piercing Mrs. Rong's chest in an instant.
Mrs. Rong was stunned, looked down at the arm that penetrated her heart, and opened her mouth in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why.
"It's a pity, Madame Yung."
"If you and the Lu clan are only involved in 'tuning grain' and 'rebellion', maybe I can still let you go, after all, you can do this step with a daughter at the moment, you are undoubtedly a talent, and it happens to be a talent that I am in short supply."
"But unfortunately, there are some mistakes in this world, and even I have a hard time finding a reason to let you go."
Burst~
Mo Jun withdrew his right hand, and Mrs. Rong's eyes gradually lost their brilliance, and she fell to the ground weakly.
For this Mrs. Rong, Mo Jun did feel a little regretful, after all, his [Xiong Out of the Mo Chamber of Commerce] still lacked a top business talent.
But unfortunately, even with Mojun's character, not everyone is willing to use it.
As the eldest lady of the Lu clan and the 'acting head of the Rong clan', if Mrs. Rong is not contaminated with the matter of the 'meat pool' at all, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
What's more, even if she didn't take over the 'meat pool' herself, the food that Mrs. Rong ate every day and every penny she spent was stained with the ghosts of those dead children.
If she is let go, it will be difficult for Mo Jun to ensure that he will sleep at night in the future and will not have nightmares because of this.
When I walked out of the basement, it was the middle of the night.
Above the treetops.
A cold waning moon hung on the branches.
The scenery tonight is very good, but it's a pity that Mo Jun doesn't have much heart to appreciate it.
"Count the granaries first and wait······ Well? ”
Suddenly, Mo Jun, who was arranging the actions of the black-armored soldiers, paused slightly, and vaguely noticed that someone was peeping at him, but when he turned around, he didn't see anyone.
In a trance.
Only a few strands of long purple hair flickered under the waning moon.
"My lord, do you need me to investigate?"
Jian Jiuyuan, Zhu Yeqing, and Jiujian Idiot have all followed the black armor soldiers to the 'Yi Three Clans', and there is only Hei Yu by Mo Jun's side in this matter.
Hearing Hei Yu speak, Mo Jun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need, let's solve the current matter first!" ”
