After He Ruda arrested more than ten disciples of the Salt Gang, Liu Mo sent all his family members to stay at the Rongcheng County government office overnight.
Because he knew that the Yan Gang would never give up and his three wives must be properly settled.
Sure enough, this move directly caused a "big earthquake".
That night, Gong Changyi held an emergency meeting. The elders in Rongcheng expressed indignation that they would arrest Liu Mo's three daughters-in-law, in order to blackmail He Ruda into releasing them.
Fortunately, Liu Mo was prepared to make this vicious plan go bankrupt.
The furious Yan Gang disciples then expressed their intention to rob the Rongcheng County Government Office and rescue their men.
Gong Changyi didn't understand why Liu Mo and He Ru would do such a thing, but as the leader of the Salt Gang and having been around for decades, his subconscious told him that this matter was by no means simple.
Such an incident put him in a dilemma. On the one hand, if his subordinates are arrested and he remains indifferent, where is the majesty of the gang leader? Where is the majesty of the Salt Gang?
On the other hand, He Ruda and Liu Mo are not fools. Since they dare to catch them, they will not let them go easily.
Violent means to save people? Wouldn't that be openly challenging the government? There will be a lot of trouble in the future.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly thought of a person and had an idea.
So he announced, "Come here, prepare your horses and go to Mr. Su's house!"
Gong Changyi was thinking of none other than the Salt Patrol Censor: Su Zhongle.
~~~
Liu Mo was shocked when he saw Su Zhongle.
This man wears a long robe, has square lips, a light moustache, a broad forehead, a flat forehead, full skin and flesh, and looks like an official.
But... he looks like an official, but why does he act so immature?
The Great Xia court is going to take action against the Salt Gang. As a Salt Road official, you don’t know?
Why did you come to the county government office to cause trouble?
Are the First Prince's faction so uninformed about the news?
It turned out that Su Zhongle led a group of subordinates to visit him late at night. When he saw He Ruda, he didn't waste any words and asked for him directly.
He Ruda was also full of aura, "Mr. Su, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to come to our Rongcheng County Office in the middle of the night and release the prisoners at the first word, right?"
Su Zhongle sneered, "Master He, I am the Salt Patrol Censor, responsible for the salt road in Jianglin Prefecture. Now I have received a secret notice that there are unscrupulous traders selling private salt privately, and I have to take care of it."
“Who made the complaint, and whom did he accuse?”
"Since it's a secret report, it's naturally inconvenient to reveal it," Su Zhongle replied, "The people I've reported to are all in your Rongcheng prison."
Good guy! So good at playing.
Convict Xu Tian and others as private salt dealers, and you can take them away at will?
He Ruda obviously didn't agree with him, "Where is the paper?"
"The Salt Road case does not require the local county magistrate's intervention." Su Zhongle said, "I apologize that I cannot hand over the pleadings to you for inspection."
"Ha, so it turns out that Mr. Su wants to take away the criminal prisoners from our Rongcheng County government office with just one mouthful?" He Ru laughed, "If I let it go, if this spreads to Mr. Huang's ears, How can I explain it?"
"Master Huang, I will make it clear and will not embarrass you, Master He."
He Ruda couldn't think of how to answer for a moment, so Liu Mo quickly came to his rescue.
"According to what you want, Mr. Su, let's do this. I will stay in the county prison. Your boss, Mr. He, will also go and make it clear. He will not embarrass you, Mr. Su."
"You..." Su Zhongle was furious, "Where are you from and how dare you contradict me?"
"Tricky people?" Liu Mo finally figured it out. Su Zhongle's news was not delayed as usual. "I'm sorry, my subordinate's name is Liu Mo, and he is the new salt patrol ambassador. Speaking of which, he is also a salt road official."
Salt Road Ambassador?
Su Zhongle froze when he saw the "underlings" who suddenly appeared.
"How dare you, a little ninth-grade official, contradict your boss?" he immediately scolded him.
According to the establishment, Liu Mo is really his subordinate.
"Replying to your lord, I am just reminding you that according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, if a person commits a crime other than selling illegal salt, such as fighting with a weapon, wounding someone, or damaging property, he should be punished first and then handed over to the salt court. Tao officials will handle it.”
Since becoming an official, Liu Mo has been reciting the laws of Daxia day and night. For the sake of his wife and children, he must memorize these rules thoroughly.
"Tell me the laws of Daxia?" Su Zhongle said, "If a criminal sells more than a thousand kilograms of illegal salt, he must hand it over to the Salt Road for questioning first."
"May I ask Mr. Su, where is this thousand catties of private salt?" Liu Mo asked again.
"This has nothing to do with you."
"Master He is the magistrate of Rongcheng County, so it makes sense that he has nothing to do with the salt road." Liu Mo said, "I, Mr. Liu, am the salt patrol ambassador and a salt road official. How can I have nothing to do with it?"
"What rank is the Salt Patrol Ambassador? If I say it has nothing to do with you, then it has nothing to do with you!"
Are you using your identity to suppress me? Just wait as long as the leader says? I won’t accept this from you!
Although I don’t know whether you are robbing people to kneel down and lick the Salt Gang, or to grab credit, but as long as I, Liu Mo, am here, I will never let you succeed!
"Master Su, I, Mr. Liu, have neither fame nor fame, and I am not a member of a famous family. Fortunately, Mr. Huang appreciates me and recommends me to His Royal Highness. I am granted the official position of salt road as a white lady." Liu Moyi said sternly.
"For no other reason than for the kindness of His Royal Highness and Mr. Huang, I have to get to the bottom of it!"
Damn it, you will use your identity to suppress me, why can't I bring out Huang Shouren and the unknown prince?
Seeing Liu Mo's determined eyes, Su Zhongle panicked.
He has been in the officialdom for many years, and this is the first time he has seen someone dare to challenge his immediate boss.
"I won't argue with you anymore, man, I have to take him away tonight!" Su Zhongle also gave up. "Someone, lead the way!"
Good guy, come on hard!
This operation should not be kneeling and licking, but more like some other conspiracy!
Liu Mo looked at He Ruda and thought, you don't want stability at this time, do you?
He Ruda did not disappoint him. He Ruda acted very tough this time.
"You can't take this person away!" he said. "Everyone, listen to the order. If anyone dares to break into the Rongcheng prison tonight, no matter who it is, he will be shot to death!"
"You dare!" Su Zhongle was worried, "Wang Cheng, break open the cell door and let's see who dares to touch you!"
When someone else came to support him, the man named Wang Cheng plucked up the courage to step forward and planned to violently break down the door.
Seeing Su Zhongle being so arrogant, He Ruda became intimidated for some reason.
"Brother He, Brother He!" Liu Mo quickly stepped forward and pulled the corner of his clothes. "Why are you standing there?"
He Ruda frowned, "If we really take action, I'm worried..."
Damn it, you are worried about a hammer.
If you are too timid in this kind of situation, how can we still hang out in the future?
Seeing that Wang Cheng was about to break through the door, Liu Mo immediately struck out with a sword from the government officer next to him, and shouted sternly, "Wang Cheng, right? Do you want Mr. Su to break down the door yourself? Do you think I dare to cut him in half with a single blow?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward and made a chopping motion.
Liu Mo's title of Salt Patrol Ambassador was not fake. The people Su Zhongle brought with him all belonged to the Salt Transportation Department.
According to the laws of Daxia, Liu Mo is their boss, a boss who dares to challenge the seventh-grade salt luck censor, and a boss who has the support of the prince behind him!
Wang Chengcheng didn't dare to offend Liu Mo even if he had the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard. He subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Su Zhongle with a complicated expression. "Master Su, this..."
"You...Liu Mo, right? I remember you!" Su Zhongle said angrily. "let's go!"
With an order, a group of people strode away.
But when Su Zhongle had just stepped through the gate, he suddenly turned back and said: "You two, if you don't drink a toast or eat a fine wine, you can't blame others for what the Salt Gang will do when the time comes."
"No need to worry, Mr. Su, walk slowly!" Liu Mo sneered.
"snort!"
After Su Zhongle left with the people, He Ruda breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Liu Xian is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!" He said, "After tonight, I'm afraid there will be even greater trouble waiting for us!"
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth, so what are you afraid of!"
"Hmph!" He Ruda snorted, "Brother Xian, you don't understand, you don't understand!"
After saying that, he patted Liu Mo on the shoulder and turned to leave.
