Chapter 35: The Incident

This night was also a moonlit night. Mo Yunxiao sat alone in the gazebo, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

The night Po Cheng was killed. The same night breeze blows, and the same moon shines as bright as day. Mo Yunxiao looked at the bright moon, her thoughts were flying, and her heart was in turmoil.

She secretly laughed at her stupidity, and really wanted to use other people's bodies to fight against the so-called evil forces. It's really a creation and a trick, and the original owner of this body may be a part of the evil forces. Thinking of this, she smiled dumbly.

While she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard a loud cry of a baby. She was shaken and looked back at the source of the sound. The cry seemed to come from behind a rockery in the courtyard.

"Da Lang, don't be too fierce, frighten this baby. Come, let me hug. "It was Li Xian Moth who spoke, coming from the same direction.

Mo Yunxiao became curious, so she walked lightly and tiptoed in the direction of the rockery.

"Are you a peacehouse when we are a tea house?" Mo Chenglin's voice has always been grim: "You can fool my ignorant daughter, but you can't fool me." Hum! Where does a man like you look like you're fleeing the famine? Even if you escape the famine and come to Tokyo, you should go to Kaifeng Mansion to report, and you have your own government to settle displaced people, but what are you doing here with me? ”

"Master Mingjian!" The man clasped his knees, knelt down, bowed down again and again, and said: "Don't hide it from my lord, today's government is exploiting layer by layer, and the relief food allocated by the court has reached our hands, but it is only a few grains of brown rice, how can we live?" The little one has so little blood and bones, and I can't bear to give it away, so I came to the tea building. He said that his feelings were deep, and after speaking, he kowtowed, even Li Xianmoth was a little unbearable.

She comforted the child and said, "Da Lang, look what he said doesn't look like a lie. ”

Mo Chenglin asked again: "In this case, you are strong and strong, why don't you go to the canal to pull fiber to make a living?" ”

"The little ones do have that idea, too." The man replied, "It's just that the little one is gone, but the baby in his arms is uncared for." This is a female baby, I heard that the Cao Gang has a ghost Fan Lou outside the city, specializing in women, and the little one is afraid that this doll will be abducted by them. ”

"Ghost Fan Tower?" Mo Chenglin frowned, quite puzzled, and said: "Fan Lou is Fan Lou, why is it called Ghost Fan Tower?" ”

The man sighed and said, "In Tokyo, there is no one who doesn't know about Fan Lou. But Fan Lou also earns clean money. But that ghost fan building is a complete evil shop. They kidnapped, bought, or cheated, and took the women of good families away to do that unscrupulous thing. Every night, the lights are lit up, women cry, men laugh. Just because they only do business at night, they are called Ghost Fan Tower. And...... And ......"

The man wanted to speak and stopped, Mo Chenglin couldn't help but be annoyed, and asked, "And what?" ”

"They also threatened that one day they would tie up the three girls of the Mo family and be the number one princess!" The man said.

Mo Chenglin listened, slapped his palm on the stone table, glared at a pair of angry eyes, and shouted: "I didn't expect the feet of the Son of Heaven to hide dirt and dirt so much!" Sheng Zhang doesn't care? ”

The man resignedly said, "I'm afraid that Master Sheng will also visit often." ”

"How unreasonable!" Mo Chenglin jumped up from the stone bench, cut his hands back, and paced back and forth, looking indignant.

Mo Yunxiao, who was hiding behind the rockery, looked at it in her eyes, and her heart was also mixed: "I think the old man really loves his daughter." But that ghost Fan Lou is indeed very hateful, and he actually did such a hurtful thing! ”

"The baby doesn't cry, the baby doesn't cry......" Li Xianmoth comforted the child in his arms, and then raised his head and said to Mo Chenglin: "Da Lang, why bother with other people's affairs." There are many injustices in the world, how can you manage everything! ”

Mo Chenglin ignored her. He paused, then turned around and asked the man, "What's your name?" ”

"The little one's name is Yuan Lu." The man replied.

"Yuan Lu?" Mo Yunxiao was taken aback and pondered: "I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while." ”

Mo Chenglin said again: "Okay, you go with me to this ghost fan building." I'd like to see if any of them dares to tie up my daughter!" ”

Li Xian Mo also got up and persuaded: "Da Lang, don't be rash. The idlers are asking for a cheap word, so why bother to mess with them. ”

Mo Chenglin glared at her and said, "You stay at home for a long time, I'll go back as soon as I go." "Just leave.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Daddy!" ”

Mo Chenglin and Yuan Lu were both stunned and glanced at each other. Mo Yunxiao looked at Yuan Lu and felt that he was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him. But he didn't have time to care about anything else at the moment, so he only said to Mo Chenglin: "Daddy, my daughter can't stop you, why don't we go together." I'll do some work, and I'll take care of you. ”

A trace of pity flashed in Mo Chenglin's eyes, but this pity was fleeting, turning into a resolute gaze like a sharp blade.

"You also stay at home, don't go anywhere. When I return, I will prepare for your marriage. Mo Chenglin walked a few more steps, and suddenly said, "What if...... Even if I go underground, I will not be able to see your mother. After finishing speaking, he took Yuan Lu and walked away in stride.

Hearing this, Mo Yunxiao was moved in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad. She looked at the backs of Mo Chenglin and Yuan Lu, and frowned unconsciously.

"Helu." Li Xian Moth slowly greeted him, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your father will be more than lucky." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled reluctantly and said, "The third grandmother is relieved, and the father has his own measure." ”

Li Xianmoth caressed the back of the baby in her arms, who had fallen into a deep sleep. She also smiled faintly and said, "May the Bodhisattva bless you and let Da Lang do everything well." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled: "The third grandmother believes in Buddhism? ”

Li Xian Mo was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm ashamed, I've been worshiping the Bodhisattva for ten years. ”

"Oh." Mo Yunxiao said: "Presumably, the Bodhisattva is sincere in the third grandmother, and he will definitely bless his father." ”

Li Xian Mo didn't speak, and his heart was still uneasy.

At this moment, Li Xian Mo and Mo Yunxiao seemed to turn enemies into friends, and the gap between the two was as if it had never existed.

The night markets in Tokyo City are as brilliant as day, from Heaven Street to Majie to West Street, especially on both sides of the Bianhe River, which is really full of tourists, and the shouts of shopkeepers come and go.

Mo Chenglin and Yuan Lu each led a mount and tossed through this flow of people. They have grim faces and walk fast, in stark contrast to their surroundings.

They crossed the state bridge, and the number of pedestrians plummeted, and they all rode their horses in the direction of Suzaku Gate.

There are a few sparse soldiers guarding the Suzaku Gate. Mo Chenglin didn't pay attention to it, and the horse was about to pass. But the soldier flashed his halberd and shouted, "Who broke through the door!" Mo Chenglin pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed, and then stopped.

Mo Chenglin was a little strange, on weekdays, the city gate was wide open, and businessmen and tourists could enter and exit at will, but why did he interrogate him today.

But he still didn't get off the horse, and replied condescendingly: "Master Jun, Mo Chenglin, the shopkeeper of the Ming Building, is going out of the city to do something, and I hope that the master will be convenient." ”

When the soldier heard that it was Mo Chenglin, he couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, it turned out to be the great shopkeeper of Minglou." I heard that a few days ago, your daughter was going to choose a son-in-law, and there was a lot of trouble in the city. How? Isn't it that the new aunt is unwilling to serve this 'female Yama' and runs out of the city, and the shopkeeper Mo personally chases after him? ”

After saying this, the soldiers burst out laughing.

Mo Chenglin's heart was angry, but after all, the other party was a forbidden army, so he didn't want to offend, so he had to say: "No, I'm going out of the city to meet an old friend." Isn't this allowed? ”

The soldier laughed and said, "If it is someone else, it is naturally allowed, but the shopkeeper is not allowed." ”

Mo Chenglin glared at him and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Hehe, then you have to ask us about our revenge!" The soldier pointed behind him as he spoke, and sure enough, he saw a military leader coming out of the shadows while munching on sugar cane. The man had two mustaches and squinted and smiled.

Mo Chenglin was taken aback, and he knew that something was wrong. "Yuan Lu! Yuan Lu! He looked around, but Yuan Lu's shadow was gone.

"Oops! I'm fooled! Mo Chenglin suddenly realized. That Yuan Lu clearly colluded with this Qiu Hou to frame himself.

"Alright, stop yelling." Qiu Feng chewed on the sugar cane, and said impatiently: "Shopkeeper Mo has always been cautious, if it weren't for his love for his daughter, he wouldn't have come here rashly." I'm really moved at the bottom. ”

Mo Chenglin snorted coldly and said, "I am a legitimate person, even if the government wants to harm me, there must be a crime." ”

Qiu Feng slammed half of the sugarcane in his hand and said angrily: "You still dare to be rampant!" You were originally a junior colonel in the Western Army, and you escaped 30 years ago when you took advantage of the chaos to start a tea business. Hum! I'm right and I'm not right! ”

Mo Chenglin was taken aback and asked: "You said that I was a fugitive from the army, but I have a certificate!"

"Your mount is the credentials!" Qiu Feng drank sharply, suddenly smiled coldly, looked at the white horse, and said: "As I expected, the one ridden by the crotch of the shopkeeper Mo is clearly the famous horse used in the army!" ”

Hearing this, Mo Chenglin was a little flustered in his heart. He was indeed a deserter in the army, and he took more than a dozen good horses with him. On weekdays, his horses are raised in the stables, and occasionally Mo Yunxiao will ride them outside the city. It's just that although this horse is a divine horse, there are not many people who know it, and even Yin Shengzhang of Kaifeng Mansion has never seen such a good horse. So there hasn't been an accident for decades. But this Qiu Feng is also from the Western Army. When he looked at it, he knew that it was a military horse.

Qiu Feng saw that he was silent, so he said proudly: "How? Is the shopkeeper going with us by himself? Or are the brothers asking you to go? ”

Mo Chenglin suddenly glared. His gaze was like an arrow like a halberd, and the soldiers, including Qiu Feng, all retreated in shock.

He suddenly raised his head and laughed, and said, "I didn't expect that I would be cautious for half my life, and finally carry this vertical hand!" That's it! I'll do you a good thing! ”
