"This ......" Ma Cai showed a smile on his face, unwilling to say more.

If Chen Mo helped him this time, then he would have informed him about it. If he hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have spoken out for no reason.

"You two go and bring the silver, and I'll go and tell Master He about it." Chen Mo thought for a moment and agreed loosely.

He was quite interested in that good thing, Ma Cai had some ways in his family, and the good thing he said should not be a lie.

"It's all ready, all the money we've gotten during this time is here." Ma Cai hurriedly took out a heavy gray and black cloth bag from his arms, and at a glance, he knew that it contained a lot of copper plates.

Chen Mo took the cloth bag in his hand, picked up the lotus leaf chicken again, and then got up and walked towards the barracks where He Ma Guan lived.

Seeing this, Ma Cai and Ding Bao followed closely behind him.

The barracks where the official lived were relatively more spacious, and the interior furnishings and displays were more complete.

He was sitting on a recliner at the moment, smoking a dry cigarette.

Seeing Chen Mo coming with a lotus leaf chicken, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

"What, you kid are going to invite me to chicken today?"

"No, this chicken was bought by Ding Baobao and the two of them to honor your old age." Chen Mo picked up a rag and wiped the table, untied the chicken and placed it on the table.

The official Homa's face changed, and his eyes looked out of the door, "Nothing to do, be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" ”

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, and he had seven or eight guesses in his heart.

"Are you old, do you know that the two of them are selling horse manure behind your back?"

He Ma Guan snorted coldly, tore off a chicken leg, looked out the door and said, "The two of them can hide it for a day or two, and they can hide it from me for a month or two!" ”

He has been in this army for decades, and he doesn't know what the way is.

He had been aware of this matter a few days earlier, and the reason why he asked Chen Mo to shovel dung was also to see if he knew about it, and whether he would hide it from him after he knew it.

If it is really the three of them working together to hide themselves, then even if it is more difficult to replace the three people at once, he will have to change.

Outside the door, Ma Cai and Ding Bao turned pale, their bodies looked like chaff, and they couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts.

Thanks to Chen Mo's persuasion, he took the initiative to explain the matter to He Ma Guan.

Otherwise, what awaits the two of them is only military law.

"Don't be too angry, the two of them have already realized that they are wrong, and all the money they have made during this time is here." Chen Mo took his wallet and handed it to Officer Home.

He started to weigh it, and the anger on his face suddenly decreased by three or four points.

He was angry, not because he was angry that the two of them were secretly selling horse manure, but because he was angry that the two of them had been hiding from themselves and not sharing the money with themselves.

There is no horse official in his eyes!

"The two of them didn't mean to do this, don't be too angry, and then get angry." Chen Mo said comfortingly.

"Get in here!" Homer shouted angrily outside the door.

Ma Cai and Ding Bao trembled and lowered their heads and moved into the house.

"Today, for the sake of Chen Mo's intercession for the two of you, I will no longer pursue your fault!" He Maguan's face was serious.

He didn't really want to make a big deal out of it, and if he let others know that something like this happened to the stables he was in charge of, he would have to lose face.

He had thought before that if all three of them hid from him, then he could only replace them.

If only two people hide from themselves, then beat them up hard, and then just watch the after-effects, and don't make too much trouble.

And now that the two of them took the initiative to hand over all the money they were greedy for, it is not that he can't let the two of them go.

"Thank you, Master He!" Both of them were sweating profusely, and they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at this time.

He Maguan didn't say much, but his eyes were still full of boredom and disappointment when he looked at Ding Bao.

Ma Cai just hid it from him, but Ding Bao followed him for more than two years, and he actually hid himself from outsiders, which was what made him angry the most!

"Both of you will be honest with me in the future, don't think about what you shouldn't be!" He scolded under his breath.

The two of them nodded again and again, not daring to say anything.

"From now on, if there is such a thing again, I will divide half of the money, and the remaining half will be divided into three parts." He Ma had no intention of stopping this.

Even though he has some status in this battalion, the military salary is also paid from time to time, and it is best to have some extra money.

Ding Bao looked happy, originally he thought that since Master He had already known about this matter in advance, he was afraid that he would not be able to make money in the future.

Now it seems that there is still hope, although it is better to make less than nothing.

Not to mention the involvement of Ho Ma Guan, this matter can be more secure.

"It's done, get out." Officer Homer waved his hand.

Ma Cai and Ding Bao are like being amnestied, the pace is not big, but the speed is quite fast

Chen Mo got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by He Maguan with his hand.

"Stealing and selling dung in private, you should look back and take care of it, especially that horse wealth, don't let him get involved in any more mess.

There are some doors in his house, and sooner or later he will have to be transferred, and you will have to continue feeding the horses with me. He Maguan's tone was a little slower, and he explained.

"Understood." Of course, Chen Mo knew that even a little way was a way, and Ma Cai would not continue to work hard here for too long like these big soldiers.

He just wants to accumulate his strength and blood in peace now, and he doesn't want to cause other things.

"You can take this chicken back and eat it, and you can collect the money privately." He Maguan carefully counted out a hundred and ten copper plates from the cloth bag and handed them to Chen Mo.

"Hey!" He did not refuse, carefully put the money in his pocket, and returned to his camp with the chickens.

Ma Cai was resting on the bed with a stench, Chen Mo had long been accustomed to the smell of the surrounding air, tore off a fat chicken leg, and ate it to a great extent.

"Brother Mo is back." When Ma Cai saw him return, he hurriedly sat up from the bed.

"This chicken, Master He, also let you bring it back!" As he said this, he couldn't help but swallow.

The groom's treatment was much better than that of ordinary soldiers, but he also had little meat to eat, and at most he would steal two eggs on weekdays.

"Let's eat together, just tell me what good things you have." Chen Mo greeted warmly, ripped off a chicken wing and handed it to him.

"Do you know General Sun Shouren?" Ma Cai leaned over and lowered his voice.

Chen Mo shook his head lightly, he had been here for too short, and he didn't even know the situation in the barracks now.

"In another month or two, General Sun will come to our army to recruit soldiers." He looked solemn, obviously believing that what he said was true.

"Is this true? I have never heard of a general who would recruit soldiers from the barracks. ”

Chen Mo's tone was a little unbelieving, and he wanted to set up Ma Cai's words again.

The so-called pro-soldiers, also known as the troops, are the most important troops for a general.

In many cases, whether you can win a battle depends on whether the number and strength of your own soldiers are enough.

And the most important thing is to be close to the general.

Generally speaking, they are either of the same clan or the same country, and they are basically related to the general himself.

As for recruiting soldiers directly from the barracks, few generals do this.

"You don't know about this, as far as I know, General Sun won a big battle some time ago, but his own soldiers suffered too many losses. Therefore, I hereby request Your Majesty to transfer back to our Xingyuan Mansion to guard and train troops.

And General Sun is also from our Xingyuan Mansion, so he will choose his own soldiers from us. Ma Caicuo was very close to Chen Mo, and his voice was lower.

The young and strong people of the same clan and hometown are all counted, and they have lost too much at one time, and it is difficult to replenish them.

If you want to recruit pro-soldiers, you can only expand the scope of recruitment, and then spend a longer time training.

"How do you know that this is so important?" Chen Mo was slightly suspicious.

The movement of troops and the appointment of generals can be said to be the secrets of the imperial court, how can Ma Cai easily know such secrets.

"A distant cousin of mine is married to General Sun's personal soldiers, and the imperial court gave her a bereavement pension some time ago. I inquired many times at home, and I only learned about this, so don't tell anyone. ”

The reason why Ma Cai only told Chen Mo about this and didn't tell others was that he also had his own selfish intentions.

Literacy and hyphenation, even if it is only a few, is rare among the big soldiers.

Chen Mo may be able to be selected for the pro-military camp by virtue of knowing the words, and when the time comes, it is better for the two of them to be in a group than to go in alone.

Even if Chen Mo failed to choose a pro-soldier, with his literacy, it is unlikely that he will always be struggling at the bottom.

Befriending him may help you in the future, and all you have to pay is just a piece of news that someone will know sooner or later, and it can definitely be regarded as a sure win.

Chen Mo silently recorded this matter in his heart, if he can really become a pro-soldier, not only will his treatment become better, he will be able to better accumulate qi and blood, but most importantly, his status will also rise.

When the time comes, he can figure out how to redeem Zhao Yu, Chen Mo has always remembered this matter.

If he hadn't given himself the money from the sale of his body, it is unknown whether he would be dead or alive now.

When she promised the other party to help her redeem herself, then this matter must be done.
