"Well done to you, Yang Yizhi!" Liu Mo said this with mixed emotions. "You told me so many secrets, you fulfilled me, Su Xiaowan, and you didn't hurt me. All of this made me full of respect for you.
But what kind of gentleman is doing all this? So damn shameless! The methods are so damn vicious! "
It turned out that dozens of fires had broken out in Rongcheng at this time.
The air in Rongcheng was filled with smoke and screams, and the low clouds were dyed orange-red, covering the sky in different shades.
Market, granary, county government office, salt transportation department office. Obviously, this was Yang Yizhi's deliberate decision to focus on official buildings.
All available officials have been dispatched to put out the fire, and the members of the original salt gang and tens of thousands of Rongcheng people have also spontaneously joined in.
But there are so many ignition points that it will be impossible to extinguish them for a while.
Yang Yizhi, Yang Yizhi, since I sent people to monitor Su Xiaowan, you have already noticed that something is wrong. When I focused my attention on arresting the "mastermind", you began to secretly deploy all this, right?
You are the strongest opponent I have encountered since I traveled to Daxia!
What other means are there? Any more surprises for me?
As Liu Mo expected, Yang Yizhi left him many gifts.
It was about three o'clock in the morning before the fire in Rongcheng was brought under control.
And just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Huo Cheng and Zhao Da came to report!
"The Royal Lord is missing."
"There is also Mr. Dianshi from the county government office, and Zhang Dutou from the sixth class in the third class!"
"besides..."
Liu Mo's scalp went numb when the names were announced one by one.
There are a total of seven officials in the county government office, and there are actually three in the newly established Salt Transportation Department office!
Missing? He must have run away with Yang Yizhi! Before running away, he also set a fire!
The Zhou Dynasty secretly sneaked into Rongcheng. There were already so many people? Or is it that so many officials have been incited to rebel?
His question didn't last long, and the answer was soon revealed.
About an hour later, his men came to report.
Of the dozen or so missing people, nine were dead, killed by homicide!
After hearing the news, Liu Mo felt very complicated.
My heart aches, among these people are my subordinates and my friends!
At the same time, he was glad that they did not commit treason!
"You are creating chaos, Yang Yizhi!" Liu Mo saw through Yang Yizhi's attempt, "The purpose is to escape Daxia safely!"
"You will be afraid too. Zhu Min's elite soldiers make you wary!"
Thinking of this, Liu Mo immediately ordered. "Eight hundred miles urgent, inform the border guard that Zhou Dynasty's fine work is on the run!"
~~~
"Sir, these evil deeds were all done carefully by the Zhou Dynasty." Huo Cheng complained to Liu Mo.
"Damn Yang Yizhi!" Liu Mo frowned again, "If there is anything else, report it!"
"Follow your orders!" Huo Cheng continued, "One person drowned last night, plus there was a restaurant riot, three knife fights, a rape case, two fires, and countless robberies!
The day before yesterday, a woman's head was found floating in the river. No one knew where the head came from, and no one knew whose head it was. "
"They are all thugs who take advantage of the chaos to rob!" Zhao Da cursed. "Shi Captou, if you can't even maintain order in Rongcheng, I'm afraid you'll have to find someone with the skills to be the captor."
After hearing this, Shi Baotou immediately retorted: "Mr. Zhao, what you said is wrong. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. I need manpower!"
"How many people do you want?" Liu Mo leaned forward and asked. As usual, the county magistrate of Rongcheng was vacant, so he, the "highest official in Rongcheng", temporarily spoke on his behalf.
"Master Liu, of course the more the better."
"Then hire fifty government servants," Liu Mo told him. "Report the amount of money needed to my wife!"
"Your wife?" Shi Baotou was surprised.
"That's right!" Liu Mo said, I can support the army, why do I care about these fifty government officials? As he said that, he turned to look at Zhao Da, "Assign twenty more people from the Salt Transportation Department to Shi Baotou until the new magistrate of the county takes office!"
"Thank you, sir!" Shi Baotou bowed, "I promise you, nothing like this will happen again!"
After Shi Baotou left, Liu Mo turned to his subordinates in the Salt Transportation Department and said, "These are extraordinary times, and I'm tired of you all!"
"I am willing to share your worries with you!"
Originally, these matters were not under his control. The position of county magistrate was vacant, and there were also officials such as county magistrate, third class and sixth house.
But the key issue is that these officials were either done by the Zhou Dynasty, killed or injured by Yang Yizhi's men. There are too few manpower left, so we can only "ask for instructions" from Liu Mo, who currently has the highest position in Rongcheng!
"Thank you all," Liu Mo stood up, "That's it for today."
After his men left, he called Zhao Da, "General Zhu, is there any news?"
"Not yet!"
Liu Mo frowned again, "I wonder if Zhu Min will be confused by these two completely different 800-mile express!"
The first letter asked the light cavalry to march quickly to support, and the second letter asked them to go back and block the main road.
"Forget it, let's go back first!"
When Liu Mo returned to his home, it was already dark.
In addition to the trouble caused by Yang Yizhi, there is another headache for the family: marrying Su Xiaowan.
This can be said to be a chain reaction. At this moment, Rongcheng is in chaos and has constant troubles. There is no time for a wedding!
At this moment, he missed He Ruda so much.
"If you were in Rongcheng, how much could you do for me!" Liu Mo thought as he walked!
He should go to Lin Shiqi's room to rest tonight, but it was Su Xiaowan who opened the door for him.
Although Liu Mo had already let her move into his home with a tough attitude after this incident, she should not be in Lin Shiqi's room at the moment!
"Husband, sister Xiaowan has been waiting for you for a long time!" Lin Shiqi spoke first.
"Oh?" Liu Mo walked into the room, and Lin Shiqi helped her take off her official uniform, and then sat on the wooden chair. "What's the matter?"
Su Xiaowan looked panicked, "Husband, don't be deceived by the illusion made by Brother Yang."
"Illusion?" Liu Mo's eyes were entirely focused on Su Xiaowan.
"Yeah!" Su Xiaowan nodded vigorously, "Brother Yang always doesn't follow common sense. He likes to create many confusing illusions in everything he does, and the true purpose is hidden in the illusion."
Liu Mo frowned, "This guy is indeed what Su Xiaowan said."
After knowing that I was exposed, I deliberately asked me to follow Su Xiaowan, and staged another scene of "going to the meeting alone". And all this is just to lure the tiger away from the mountain and set fire to Rongcheng to create chaos.
If according to what Su Xiaowan said, everything Liu Mo has seen so far is all smoke bombs?
So what is his real purpose?
"Xiao Wan, you are so thoughtful." Liu Mo thanked her, "Has he revealed anything to you?"
Su Xiaowan shook her head. "Brother Yang is very strict and seldom mentions it. Many times the things he asks me to do are very sudden." She replied, "However, Xiaowan feels that he is very concerned about the new salt developed by your husband!"
"I know this too!" Liu Mo sighed, "New salt..."
Suddenly, he suddenly realized, "Damn it, this guy's real purpose is this!"
"Huh?" This move frightened the two girls.
"Shiqi, go and help me prepare my pen and ink." Liu Mo shouted, "Xiaowan, go and call Zhao Da! A storm is coming!"
