"I said fifth brother, it's better for you to let people know in advance, I'll let your younger brothers and sisters cook at home in advance, how good is it for us to eat at home, so you don't have to run to this restaurant."

Chen Mo's tone was quite enthusiastic, and he took Mo Hu's shoulder and pulled him into a seat.

Feiniu Lou is the best restaurant in the whole Zhuniu set, and the banquet in the building is the whole cow banquet.

From the head to the hoof, from the heart to the treasure, as long as it can be eaten, it can be made into a dish.

Mo Hu is Chen Mo's elder brother, and according to the rules, he should be invited to a banquet at home to show his closeness.

But he came in a hurry, and Chen Mo's family had no preparations, so he could only feast on him in this building first.

"I'm also in a hurry, I have to go to office immediately, and I don't go slowly, where can I let people inform you in advance."

Mo Hu explained with a smile that he had won the fame, and he now had a bit of high spirits.

"Fifth brother, what official position did you do this time, you are in such a hurry." Chen Mo had doubts and poured him a cup of tea first.

"From the inspection envoy of the Seven Grades Mansion Tax Division, it is not far from your side." Mo Hu smiled, his position is a good position.

According to the Great Cadre Law, heavy taxes must be paid on the circulation of goods between provinces.

His position is to inspect several official roads and mountain trails near Xingyuan Mansion to prevent tax evasion and evasion by merchants and merchants.

This position is a little harder than Chen Mo's salt transportation envoy, but the oil and water are quite sufficient.

If a merchant wants to transport goods that are not taxed from the place he inspects, he must first give him enough money to keep him out of sight.

Of course, the premise of all this is not to go too far, a small amount of smuggled goods will flow in, the court will turn a blind eye, and no one will investigate it carefully.

But once there is a large inflow, the imperial court will definitely investigate it.

Just like the illicit salt dealers in the area inspected by Chen Mo, there is no problem with the circulation of a small number, no one will, and no one dares to easily track down this matter.

Because once investigated, it was not Chen Mo alone, but an entire interest group.

It's just that he can't go too far, it's no problem if the number is small, even if someone with a dead eye has to investigate, someone will protect Chen Mo

If there are too many of them and the rules are broken, then even if someone wants to protect him, he will not be able to keep it.

"Then this is a good errand, I congratulate the fifth brother in advance." Chen Mo laughed, and eight cold dishes were served one after another.

"I have one more important thing to do this time." Mo Hu suddenly lowered his voice.

Chen Mo waved his hand gently, and Xiao Er, who was waiting beside him, retreated quite smartly.

He had already guessed that Mo Hu might have to talk to him about some more important things, so there were only the two of them at this banquet, and no one else was allowed to accompany him.

"What?" Chen Mo also lowered his voice and asked.

"I heard a person mention it in the same year in this imperial examination, and the Dutian Daomen was unlucky with something between Xingyuan Mansion and Anyang Mansion, but it is not clear what it is.

In addition, the Dutian Dao Gate is in Anyang Mansion, and it is not a hermit Dao Gate, but it is quite famous, and it has many collusions with local family officials, I think it is not easy to check them. ”

Mo Hu spoke slowly, since his brother was killed to save himself, this matter has become a knot in his heart, if this revenge is not avenged, he will not dare to lie down peacefully when he sleeps at night.

"Is your one of the same year reliable, and what is the saying from the imperial court? Still checking? Chen Mo frowned slightly, and asked in a condensed voice.

"It should be reliable, although I don't know him, but my brother and I fought together at the border gate, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship."

"As for the imperial court, I still need to check again, my father-in-law and I have mentioned some news, and the above is already very dissatisfied that the problem has not been found for so long, and is ready to send someone to investigate again.

Not only to check the Du Tian Dao Gate, but also to check whether the people who investigated before had any connection with the Du Tian Dao Gate. ”

Mo Hu's voice was very low, and his eyes were constantly observing the surrounding doors and windows to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

If the imperial court wants to investigate the Tiandaomen, in addition to sending people itself, it will inevitably let the officials in Anyang Mansion cooperate, but it has been investigated for several months now, and they have never given the imperial court a reasonable explanation!

This must be displeasing to the high-ranking officials of the imperial court who oversaw this matter, and even His Majesty today.

After all, after checking for so long, it's understandable that I haven't checked it clearly, and it's very wrong if I haven't found out anything!

In this way, there are only two possibilities, either the local officials in Anyang Prefecture and the officials sent to investigate the matter are straw bales and will only eat dry rice.

Or they didn't even want to find out about it.

Either way, the imperial court will increase its efforts to continue the investigation of the Dutian Daomen.

Chen Mo can think about this kind of thing clearly, and he believes that there must be people in the Dutian Dao Gate who can think about this clearly.

It's just that they want to delay time now, and they should want to take this opportunity to transfer or disperse to minimize losses.

Of course, Chen Mo also thought of another possibility, that is, Du Tiandao was waiting for a suitable time for rebellion.

In order to wait for this time, they will only do everything possible to drag it down now.

"Then the father-in-law means that he won't let you go over to check, right?" Chen Mo's expression was a little suspicious, that is, to encircle and suppress the Dutian Daomen, they have an unshirkable responsibility, and this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

But if you go to investigate, it's not a good errand, it's not easy to investigate, and there is a certain risk, Dutiandaomen is not a good stubble.

"No, my father-in-law originally wanted me to go to Anhe County, not far from our military camp, to be a county lieutenant, but I refused, and took the initiative to ask him for this errand.

Because of this drudgery, I can be this seventh-rank official, otherwise this seventh-grade official with such oil and water would not fall into my hands so easily. ”

Mo Hu slowly opened his mouth to narrate, he was just admitted to the exam, not the first place, not even the top three.

Of course, there are reasons for his father-in-law to fill the official position, but at most he can only fill the position of the eighth grade.

He took over the responsibility of investigating this matter, so that he could go further and obtain this rich Congqipin official.

There are risks in this matter, but there are also opportunities, and it is more important to investigate this matter so that you can take revenge.

Otherwise, if you continue to wait for the imperial court to investigate, the Heavenly Dao Gate can be destroyed, but it may let the purple-clothed Daoist escape.

And Mo Hu mainly wanted to find out where the purple-clothed Taoist was, and find a way to kill him to commemorate his brother.

"Fifth brother, I know what you think, but don't be impulsive in this matter, the risk is still too great." Chen Mo persuaded with a cautious look.

The methods of the Dutian Dao Sect are too weird, and it is very risky for Mo Hu to rashly investigate it.

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, even if I can't find out anything, I have to live safely first, but I want to really find out something, and when the time comes, I say that I can't solve it alone, I want to ask you to help me then." Mo Hu's words were almost pleading.

The area he was going to inspect was not far from Chen Mo's side, and the distance was only a hundred miles.

If something really happened, asking Chen Mo for help was undoubtedly the fastest and most reliable.

As for inviting the father-in-law?

When the news reached his old man's house, the daylily was cold.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to ask his old man for help if it doesn't matter, but there are some more important news, and it is better to find Chen Mo.

"Okay, but don't be impulsive, with your strength, I'm afraid you're not the opponent of the purple-clothed Daoist." Chen Mo did not hesitate at all, and nodded decisively in agreement.

Avenging the fourth brother is also what he plans to do.

"Don't worry, I just planned to find out where the group was that time, and I didn't plan to face him directly." Although he was angry in his heart, Mo Hu still remained calm, he knew that he was not so easy to deal with the purple-clothed Daoist.

He only plans to find out the specific location of the other party, and then no matter what the matter is, the father-in-law or other strong people can try to kill the other party.

Chen Mo didn't say anything more, opened the wine jar and poured a large bowl of wine for Mo Hu and himself.

Mo Hu was very drunk, fortunately, he didn't go alone this time, and there were several pro-soldiers in the pro-soldier camp accompanying him, even if he was drunk, he could be pulled by a carriage.

Sending him into the carriage safely, Chen Mo returned to his house with his father-in-law's reply and armor.

The meaning of the reply letter was very brief, let him first collect the evidence of Liu Mingqiao's corruption and bribery, when and how to use it, Chen Mo didn't have to worry about these things.

As for the armor, it is specially made by a master, and the whole set of armor weighs forty-three pounds, from helmet to leg armor, all of which are excellent fish scale armor.

Worn on the body, the sword and bow crossbow have a surprisingly good effect, and compared to other armor, the impact on action is relatively small.

And this weapon is more interesting, the style is not much different from the seven-foot spear he used before, but the whole body is made of stainless steel, and the weight is extremely heavy at sixty-three catties.

However, the reason why weapons are special is because they are elastic.

The reason why the spear uses a wooden pole is because the wooden pole is elastic and can perform relatively more sophisticated marksmanship.

The reason why Chen Mo wanted a spear made of stainless steel was that he didn't intend to use it as a gun, purely because he had the idea of overpowering people.

However, the weapon that my father-in-law made for himself, according to his letter, was cast with iron bars on the body of the spear.

This allows the weapon to remain resilient even though it is heavy and solid.

The price was not said by my father-in-law, but this material does not need to be thought about to know that it will definitely not be cheap.

As for the money, his father-in-law confiscated not a penny, but also took an extra hundred taels for himself.

In his heart, he also said that he should practice steadily, eat well, cultivate well, and strive for another two years, just like Mo Hu, to take the test for fame.

I have to say that my father-in-law treats himself quite well.

The treatment he has received, even if it is not much worse than his own son.

After putting away the armor, Chen Mo was going to find someone to roughly investigate Liu Mingqiao.
