A big demon is a house.

But Nanyang is a master of Beijing after all, and he is heavily guarded, even if there has been a demon recently, this demon is not so easy to find.

In addition, the weather in September is still hot and dry, although the reward above is high, but for the Jinyi Wei at the bottom, there is not much motivation.

The biggest change is that I don't fish in the yamen anymore.

I always go out for a walk, pretending that I'm looking for demons and I'm very busy.

The same is true for Chen Mo.

But her chances with Lin Jiu'er were greatly reduced.

Because of the urgency from above, even the adults of the hundred households could not sit in the yamen of the Zhenfu Division as usual.

So Lin Bai simply hid home, and when it was almost dark, he pretended to be tired and returned to the yamen, and the day passed like this.

In the autumn breeze, Chen Mo changed into plain clothes, and sat in a building with a group of younger brothers who changed into civilian clothes, listening to the storyteller.

As a storyteller in Beijing, if you want to live for a long time, you naturally can't talk about things in the court, so the stories in the book are all about the rivers and lakes.

From the mouth of the storyteller, Chen Mo learned some interesting things about the rivers and lakes recently.

It turned out that the previous leader of the martial arts alliance was a member of the imperial court, and he was an undercover agent of the imperial court who entered the martial arts.

Three years and three years, the undercover agent actually became the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Some big and small decisions in the martial arts were clearly grasped by the imperial court, and many Jianghu sects that were harmful to the imperial court were eliminated in one fell swoop.

It was only recently discovered that it was discovered.

But Wulin didn't dare to do anything to this undercover agent of the court, so he could only re-elect the leader of the martial arts alliance.

When the Wupin lewd monk was picking flowers, he was assassinated by an unqualified catcher with a fire gun.

Last year, when the top three jinshi was promoted to Beijing to take up his post, he accidentally broke into the ghost domain, and when he found it the next day, he became a fool.

The son of the gun kui was dissatisfied with his beloved Oiran and became the concubine of a wealthy merchant, killed the other party's entire family, and was wanted by the government.

The cowherd baby fell off the cliff to learn magic skills and became the son-in-law of the martial arts hero.

Chen Mo and the others listened with relish.

……

The autumn wind passed, and after dozens of reincarnations of the sun and the moon, the eaves of the Fuji in Beizhen were covered with snow.

During this time, Chen Mo didn't brush attribute points much, and he was actually not so easy to brush, and it took more than two months to get an attribute point.

It was cold from the sky, and on the streets of Jingshi, Chen Mo saw a lot of frozen bones.

After entering December, there were a lot of beggars in Jingshi, huddled in front of the Zhumen mansion every day, but the owner of the house would rather feed the leftovers to the cats and dogs than give alms to the beggars.

Finally, an official with a good heart, who couldn't see the poor starving and cold, ordered people to drive all these beggars out of the capital, and instructed the forbidden army guarding the city to prohibit the ragged people from being put into the capital.

At this time, the rich and prosperous scene of the Beijing division in the past is once again presented in front of everyone's eyes.

……

The third year of Xuanhe, December 27.

On this day, Chen Mo's mentality collapsed a little.

The day before yesterday, he took someone to raid the home of a wealthy merchant.

The wealthy businessman's family invited many nursing homes, and Chen Mo also brushed two attribute points because of this.

Except for those who resisted and were killed, the rest of the people were all arrested and put in prison, accused of complicity with demons, and sentenced to behead after the autumn of the following year.

Yesterday, however, all of them died in prison.

Today, Chen Mo learned the truth of this matter.

Wang Ying's nephew, Wang Cai, came out of the restaurant some time ago and saw the son of a wealthy businessman getting married and returning home.

Wang Cai, despite the dissuasion of others, insisted on seeing the bride's face in the sedan chair, so a conflict broke out, and the son of Shang Jia was killed on the spot and the bride was humiliated.

The merchant was angry and sued the official.

After Wang Ying learned about this matter, in order to wipe his nephew's buttocks, he gave Shang Jia an the crime of exterminating the clan with the demons, and then handed over to the Jinyi guards below to do it.

Under the layer of transmission, this job fell into the hands of Chen Mo.

Before this, Chen Mo didn't know the truth of this matter.

He obeyed orders.

In fact, even if he knows the truth, he is powerless to change it, at most he doesn't do it himself, and lets the people below do it.

But now......

More than 100 lives were gone.

The merchant didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, so he was wiped out.

And the murderer is still alive and well, eating and drinking spicy.

Chen Mo never thinks of himself as a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person, he has his own conscience and bottom line.

But this incident made him a little devastated.

Although this incident was not caused by him, more than 100 people died indirectly at his hands.

Because he brought people back.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

It was the first time that Chen Mo had been in close contact with this matter, which made his state of mind unable to calm down for a long time.

For this reason, under impulse, he also questioned Lin Bai and asked Lin Bai if he knew about it.

Lin Bai didn't know, because Wang Ying wanted to wipe his ass, so he naturally didn't want too many people to know about it, so he didn't tell the people below the specific details.

If he knew, Lin Bai would still go back and do it, but he would not hand it over to Chen Mo to do it, but to another chief banner.

For Lin Bai, Chen Mo is his confidant, and copying the home of a wealthy businessman is a thief, so he will hand it over to Chen Mo.

Lin Bai also comforted Chen Mo not to think too much, saying that this matter has nothing to do with you, you just carried out the order, don't worry about it.

But how could Chen Mo not feel at ease.

It was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and his heart had not yet become numb.

……

In winter, it gets dark very quickly.

After the ya, Chen Mo went to buy some paper money, found a place where no one was, and burned it.

He whispered, "I didn't know about your family, but I didn't expect the truth to be so cruel."

In fact, even if I know the truth, I have no power to change it, I have to act according to the order, reincarnate with peace of mind, if there is a chance, I will avenge you......"

After the paper money was burned, there was a whisper, and Chen Mo felt a little better.

"Wait patiently, I'm sure it won't be long..."

Looking at the gradually extinguishing fire, Chen Mo turned around and left.

That night, he didn't go to the Workshop Division.

Instead, he practiced all night in the Yamen, although it was a drop in the bucket, but this matter was like venting, and he felt that he would feel better if he tortured himself.

Winter goes to spring.

Chen Mo spent twenty-four years in the state of Chu.

He didn't forget the affairs of the Shangjia family, but just kept it in his heart and waited for an opportunity.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, on February 2, the dragon raised its head.

The show girls selected in various places last year took the official boat and passed through the canal and were about to enter Beijing.

But at this time, a case was transferred to the Suppression Division.

Said that during this time, there were often show girls missing, and after the investigation of the Jinyi guards accompanying the ship, it was found that there were water demons, but the water demons were very good at water and were not easy to arrest, so let the Zhenfu Division send more Jinyi guards to protect the show girls on the official ship and escort them into Beijing safely.
