The fact was indeed what Mo Jiuye thought.
The old woman didn't care about the identity of these people, she only hated them.
It was those people dressed as servants who captured her and her granddaughter here and deprived them of water and food for several days, hoping to starve them to death.
"Of course I remember, these are the people who brought me and my little granddaughter here. I want to report it to the official."
Mo Jiuye originally wanted the old woman to report to the police, but as for the details of her and her granddaughter's arrest, he didn't want to ask more questions at the moment.
He took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and gave it to the old woman.
"Auntie, take this money, go out and hire a carriage to drive to Yuncheng, and report it to the Yuncheng County Yamen, because the prefect has handed over the case to the Yuncheng County magistrate for trial."
Mo Jiuye didn't explain much else. As long as the old woman could see Meng Huaining and explain her identity and experiences, Meng Huaining's wisdom would definitely send people to the state capital to arrest her as soon as possible.
In this way, he doesn't have to worry about these people running away after he leaves.
He wanted to know more about the situation, and the dead man Bago took away was enough.
The old woman also had a discerning eye. She could feel that the other party did not intend to explain more. Moreover, when she saw those fierce thugs, she was also frightened from the bottom of her heart.
After thanking Mo Jiuye profusely, the old woman followed suit and left with her little granddaughter.
Mo Jiuye was in a hurry to meet up with Bage, and also wanted to check out the inside of the first Jingxian Restaurant, but these people in front of her couldn't help but stare.
Just when he was in a dilemma and couldn't think of a good countermeasure, several people jumped in from the yard.
Mo Jiuye turned his head warily and felt relieved when he saw the person coming.
"Brother Six, Liang Hao, you came just in time. Leave two of us here to watch them. Let's go to Brother Ba's place."
Sixth Brother, Liang Hao and the other six people, no one asked any questions and took the initiative to leave two of them behind. The rest followed Mo Jiuye and quickly rushed to the first Jingxian Restaurant.
The reason why he didn't go to Bage's place to interrogate the dead man first was because he was worried that if the news here leaked out and the people behind it would be shocked, he decided to go and deal with the other Jingxian Restaurant first.
On the way, Mo Jiuye asked.
"Brother Six, why are you here?"
"Brother Tang went to Xiling Village. After seeing the ninth younger brother and sister, he explained the situation in Yuncheng. The ninth younger brother and sister guessed that you might come to the state capital to investigate Jingxian Tower, so they asked us to rush over to help.
We went to Brother Meng's place first. I heard that you and your eighth brother had rushed to the state capital. In order to save time, we brothers used Qinggong all the way to catch up.
When we arrived at the state capital, we inquired about the whereabouts of Jingxian Tower. When we arrived at the gate, we realized something was wrong, so we searched the backyard and found you here. "
After hearing Sixth Brother's explanation, Mo Jiuye felt warm in his heart.
My daughter-in-law is very thoughtful and can consider everything in advance.
Fortunately, she asked Sixth Brother to bring someone to help. Otherwise, he and Bage would really not be able to cope with it here.
Immediately afterwards, Brother Six took out a few small paper bags from his arms and handed them to him.
"My ninth sister asked me to give this to you, saying you might need it."
Seeing those small paper bags, Mo Jiuye suddenly felt confident to ask for something from the dead soldier.
While they were talking, several people had already arrived at another Jingxian restaurant.
When he saw the two thugs dressed as waiters at the door still standing there, he knew that the incident at Jingxian Restaurant had not yet reached here.
With experience, Mo Jiuye did not enter through the main entrance this time, but led everyone around to the backyard.
The structure of this Jingxian Restaurant is somewhat different from the one just now. The backyard is also surrounded by a courtyard wall, but the door opens to the north, a pure back door.
Mo Jiuye was the first to bear the brunt and jumped up to the wall to look inside.
The backyard of this Jingxian restaurant was a little neater, but no one was walking around here, and Mo Jiuye couldn't determine the specific situation for a while.
Sixth brother and others jumped up to the courtyard wall and asked softly: "Ninth brother, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Just as Mo Jiuye was about to respond to Sixth Brother's words, he saw the kitchen door open.
An aristocratic young man who looked to be about twenty years old came out from inside.
Mo Jiuye recalled the fake boss Tang that Chen Wu mentioned. He was fatter than Tang Mingrui. He was wearing a purple robe, had slightly darker skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes...
These fit perfectly, and if you look carefully at the way he walks, he does have a slight limp.
Not only that, Mo Jiuye could also tell that this person walked very lightly and was a person who knew martial arts.
He did not dare to be careless at all, appeared in front of the man as quickly as possible, and immediately took action to restrain the man.
That man was indeed a martial arts expert as Mo Jiuye guessed, and his reactions were extremely fast.
Seeing that the opponent's hand was about to grab his throat, the man quickly dodged back a few meters away. If there wasn't an obstruction behind him, he might have been able to dodge further.
At the same time, Brother Six, who was watching, also rushed over with others, and several people surrounded the man in purple.
Unable to defeat the enemy with one move, Mo Jiuye was already ready for a fight with his helpers.
Unexpectedly, the man in purple had no intention of calling for help, but kept looking at Mo Jiuye and others.
"Who are you, and why are you here to cause trouble for me?"
No one, including Mo Jiuye, had any intention of talking to him.
Especially Mo Jiuye, he knew that this person was the key to the case and an important clue to find out where Jingxian Tower was located in the northwest.
Therefore, before the man in purple could make his next move, he was already ready to take him down again.
Seeing this, Sixth Brother and others also attacked the man in purple.
Even if the man in purple was not weak in martial arts, he was no match for Mo Jiuye. In addition, Mo Jiuye had many helpers today. In just the blink of an eye, he was kicked to the ground by Mo Jiuye.
Liang Hao led people forward and held him down.
In order to prevent accidents, Mo Jiuye took out the drug given by his wife and sprinkled it towards the man in purple.
The man in purple realized something was wrong and it was too late to dodge, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
Brother Six saw that there was no possibility of this person escaping, so he led people to search the entire backyard, but found nothing unusual, let alone dead soldiers like in another Jingxian Building.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Jiuye asked Sixth Brother to kill the thugs pretending to be waiters in the lobby of Jingxian Tower.
Jingxian Restaurant, which opened in the northwest, doesn't have a good reputation, and the food tastes bad. There are no customers in the lobby at the moment, which makes it easier for the brothers to move around.
Brother Six took the thugs and cooks to the backyard. After they were tied up, Mo Jiuye once again sprinkled the drug to stun them, and then threw them into a carriage in the backyard.
