Three days later, by the river outside Rongcheng.
Liu Mo took Zhao Da, Huo Cheng, and fifty officials from the Salt Transportation Department to hide behind the slope, as motionless as stone sculptures.
Not far away, across a trail, more than a dozen masked men held torches in their left hands and single swords in their right hands, urging the hard workers on the trail to carry goods.
On the river, four sailboats docked on the shore.
Under the constant urging of the masked men, the hard workers speeding up and loading bags of goods onto the sailboats.
"Has the big fish appeared?" Liu Mo asked again.
Huo Cheng looked bitter and shook his head subconsciously, "I don't know, these gangsters have their faces covered, and the sky is dark..." He replied uneasily, "Maybe, that person is on the boat."
"Five ships, I have fifty officers on hand, can ten people control one ship?" Liu Mo couldn't help but frown. "If the mastermind escapes because of a sudden attack, the result will be in vain."
If you look closely, you will see that the other party's goods will be shipped out soon, and time waits for no one!
"Listen up, don't worry about those hard workers transporting goods, only arrest the masked men and those who got off the boat!"
Liu Mo gave an order, and the salt transportation officer who was hiding behind the slope suddenly rushed out.
Holding the sword given by the Sixth Prince tightly, Liu Mo also rushed out under the protection of Zhao Da.
"Uncle, the sword has no eyes, try not to take action, leave it to us!" Zhao Da reminded him.
At this time, Liu Mo only felt his heart beating with the rhythm in his chest. The opponent had weapons, and he had figured this out. However, it is inevitable to feel nervous due to the danger of close combat.
There was no time to think carefully, the official from the Salt Transportation Department had already rushed in front of them.
"Put down your weapons and spare your life!" Zhao Da's roar resounded through the night.
Liu Mo subconsciously grabbed the sword and made a defensive posture.
However, what he never expected was that besides the hard workers transporting goods, they would escape. The other masked men were stunned for a few seconds, and then they all threw their swords to the ground.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding", the cold iron fell to the ground, making it extremely harsh in the night wind.
Damn it, what's going on?
Bloodline suppression? The thief was so frightened that he peed when he saw the officers and soldiers?
The arrest operation went extremely smoothly, and there was no resistance at all on the way. Not only did all the masked men drop their weapons, they also chose to squat down and wait for Liu Mo's people to arrest them.
Some of the ones with poor acting skills even laughed out loud!
This situation confused Liu Mo and his party.
Anyone who is not an imbecile has already realized that the news of this operation has been leaked!
To be embarrassed, it must be Huo Cheng. When he found Liu Mo secretly peeking at him, Huo Cheng turned pale with anxiety.
"Sir, I...this..."
"Come to the boat and have a look!"
Just as the order was given, a very lewd laugh was heard, "Hahahahaha. Mr. Liu, I may have disappointed you this time!"
This voice was all too familiar to Liu Mo. It was none other than the annoying Zhou Zhushan.
I saw him walking out of the boat with a look of contempt on his face, and his attitude was so arrogant!
"You are a bastard everywhere!" Liu Mo couldn't help it, "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhou's sake, I would cut you into pieces tonight!"
What he is angry about is not just the previous old debts, but the fact that I have spared you time and time again, but you fool, you don't even know how to repent.
Even though I gave you the right to sell Zhou's new salt, you are not only dissatisfied, but you also do such disgusting things. Maliciously recycling new salt, keeping it and not selling it!
"Kill me? Dare you do it for Mr. Liu? What did Mr. Zhou do?"
"You are selling private salt!" Zhao Da shouted angrily.
"Selling? You don't want to slander anyone!" Zhou Zhushan said with a smile, "My Zhou family is a salt merchant recognized by the government, how can I sell private salt?"
Yes, I confiscated your license when I went back, without any reason!
"Open your dog eyes and see, what are these?" Zhao Da roared again.
Liu Mo subconsciously pulled Zhao Da. He knew that tonight's plan had been exposed, and these bags would definitely not be new salt.
As expected, Zhou Zhushan grinned and said, "Open it and show all the officials what is inside!"
At this time, a masked man stood up, picked up the single knife on the ground, and poked open the bag.
"Shatu!" Zhao Da said subconsciously.
Yes, bags full of sand.
"Master Liu, we have been fooled!" Huo Cheng said bitterly.
Liu Mo's face is livid, I can use the power in my hand to chop this idiot into pieces! he thought.
But, it’s not cost-effective!
In my eyes, Zhushan is a clown this week. He is definitely not the real mastermind behind the scenes, he is just being taken advantage of again! Moreover, if I kill him, the eldest prince will take advantage of me and kill innocent people indiscriminately. That doesn’t make sense to Mrs. Zhou.
Just let him go like this? Let him sit on my head and jerk off?
No, absolutely impossible!
According to Bactrian law, suspected criminals can be imprisoned for three days.
"Left and right, get this person and put him in jail!" Liu Mo immediately ordered, "Everyone else, get out of here!"
When Zhou Zhushan heard this, his face darkened, "Master Liu, do you really want to do this?"
I have time to make fun of you. "Take it!" he ordered again.
"Hmph, Mr. Liu, don't regret it!" Zhou Zhushan spread his hands and allowed Zhao Da to tie him up.
regret? snort!
After returning to the Salt Transportation Department Yamen that night, Liu Mo immediately found Huo Cheng, "Arrange a few reliable people for me to be imprisoned for selling illegal salt, just like Zhou Zhushan!"
He didn't need to tell Huo Cheng to understand what happened next. I won't kill you, but I won't make it so easy for you!
Huo Cheng was about to take the order and leave, but Liu Mo didn't think it was enough to relieve his anger, so he added, "It's best to find some good ones like Long Yang, bastard!"
As soon as these words came out, Huo Changchang opened his mouth, but he quickly adjusted: "Follow your orders!"
Damn it, I will arrange for ten big men to catch you and eat you in a mud pit. Drafted?
Thinking of this, Liu Mo lost most of his anger.
After regaining his senses, he began to calm down and analyze.
This operation is very confidential. Who leaked the information?
Before the action, there were only a few people who knew about this matter, Huo Cheng, Zhao Da, and myself!
Zhao Da? How loyal this person is, absolutely impossible!
Huo Cheng? possible!
But the premise is that he is crazy, why, starting point, purpose!
You wrote, directed, and acted in such a play just to make me laugh?
If something is revealed, aren't you afraid that I will cut him into pieces?
Wait a moment, Liu Mo suddenly remembered something.
That night, I seemed to have let something slip...
There is also what Zhao Da said before, the night the third leader "conspired to rebel"!
Zhou Dynasty, Xinyan, Su Zhongle, Yang Yizhi!
It can't be her, right? Liu Mo suddenly frowned!
why? Why are you doing this to me?
No, never!
