As soon as this was said, everyone fell into silence.
Who is so full and willing to take on such a thankless task?
If it is not well protected, it will lead to a direct conflict between countries. If it is protected properly, it will offend the eldest prince!
In the spacious and airy room, the only sound was the crackling of firewood in the stove.
After a while, when no one answered, Huang Shouren turned to look at Liu Mo, "Mr. Liu, are you willing to take on this important task?"
Hey guys, please click my name, right?
Before Liu Mo could speak, He Ruda showed a smile and took over the conversation, "It's best to leave this matter to Master Liu. I heard that the butchers of Gao Qi died at the hands of Master Liu, and Master Liu's martial arts must be extremely good." High strength!"
Liu Mo raised his head suddenly, and then looked at the two people.
I'm a fool! Your expressions and this harmony were all agreed upon from the beginning, right?
So here’s the problem, I haven’t been appointed yet, and now I’m still the local magistrate of Jianglin Mansion!
Thinking of this, Liu Mo immediately said, "Old Huangge, my subordinate is Jianglin Salt Transport Censor!"
Although becoming a Beijing official seemed to be a foregone conclusion, Huang Shouren would definitely not say it in advance in front of everyone, so he replied, "Haha, I almost forgot about this. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! We will discuss this matter later."
Good guy, if I refuse, then we can negotiate again? I have to do this shit, right?
How can I protect the Star Luo Envoy team? Relying on my half-full martial arts skills? Playing with me!
Such an episode made Liu Mo feel depressed.
Before I knew it, it was already noon.
The Daxia Brothel is the same as the ancient brothel on Earth. In addition to some special services, it is also a high-end place that integrates food, performances, and bars.
The one that received Liu Mo this time was the largest family in Jizhou, so naturally it had all these projects.
Since it was a reception banquet, eating and drinking was inevitable, so Huang Shouren served as host and set several tables.
Halfway through the meal, Huang Shouren's men hurried over and whispered a few words into his ear.
After hearing this, Huang Shouren frowned immediately, then stood up and said, "I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave first. Please forgive me!"
After saying that, he left with a gloomy face.
It seems that the eldest prince's group is causing trouble again, Liu Mo thought to himself.
There's nothing to do when we go back, so why not stay here to eat, drink, and kill time? It's not my expense anyway.
After drinking for more than thirty years, the officials began to brag about how beautiful their daughter-in-law was and how good her driving skills were.
"Hey, lustful men and bragging are unavoidable in any class!" Liu Mo thought to himself.
While I was enjoying myself, there was a burst of crying and quarreling coming from downstairs.
The room was full of "upper-class people" from the Great Xia Dynasty. Who wanted to be disturbed like this? One of the anxious officials threw all the dishes on the floor.
The old bustard heard this and hurriedly came up to see him, and saw that he was very angry. Ben immediately apologized with a smile on his face and said: "I have disturbed all of you, please calm down, Haihan."
"What happened?" He Ruda asked.
"The one crying is a woman. Her husband had a dispute with our Lord Ji from Jizhou."
"Master Ji? Unmarried couple?" Everyone was surprised. "Send them away quickly. If you dare to disturb our mood again, your shop will be closed!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The madam agreed repeatedly.
Just as the madam turned to leave, Liu Mo stopped her and said, "Mother Zhang, wait a minute, take me to have a look!"
It’s much more delicious to eat melon than to listen to these old perverts bragging here, don’t miss it!
The officials were bragging at the height of their bragging and did not hold back.
Follow the madam and go downstairs.
I saw a woman in her late teens and a man in his early twenties standing in the middle of the hall downstairs. Opposite them, a tall and thin middle-aged man led several of his men and shouted at the two men maliciously.
It looked like the young unmarried couple was being bullied by themselves.
The worst thing to do is to use one's power to bully others. He must take care of this business!
However, just like Douyin on the earth, Liu Mo will not jump to random conclusions without knowing the cause and effect.
He had to understand the situation clearly in order not to do anything wrong. To this end, he asked the madam to pull away from the crowd so that he could go forward and ask what was going on.
After a while, the crowd of onlookers made way. Liu Mo stepped forward and looked at the woman. Although she didn't have a very good appearance, she still had a touching color. Wiping away her tears, they both said good luck to Liu Mo.
Liu Mo asked: "Why are you quarreling?"
The man then said, "Sir, please let me tell you. My surname is Jin, and my husband and I are from Sichuan. We came to Jizhou with our father to join our relatives, and we don't want to move anywhere else."
Unfortunately, my father fell ill and ran out of money. Here, after being introduced by the waiter at the inn, he borrowed fifty taels of silver from Master Ji. However, his father was ill-fated and eventually died of illness.
However, the borrowed money was less than one month, so Master Ji pursued the money owed. I was unfamiliar with the place and could not argue with him, so I gave him the ancestral jade pendant to pay off my debt. "
Before the man surnamed Jin finished speaking, the man surnamed Ji interrupted rudely, "This jade pendant is obviously mine, how can it be your ancestral inheritance? You don't pay back the money you owe, and you steal my jade pendant to pay off the debt?"
"It's obviously my ancestral jade pendant, you...you don't want to wrongly accuse a good person!"
"Hmph! I won't argue with you. Today I have to either pay back the money or sell this little lady to pay off the debt!"
Hearing this, Liu Mo got the general idea.
Suppressing his emotions, he turned to look at the man named Ji, "You said this jade pendant is genuine, do you have proof?"
The man named Ji sneered, "What proof does he have?"
Oh, you are quite good at playing tricks!
The man named Jin frowned, "I don't have the certificate, but there is a small dent in this jade pendant."
"Oh? Where is the jade pendant?"
"At his place!" The man named Jin pointed at the other party.
The man surnamed Ji said with a smile, "What can this prove? Also, who are you to interfere in my affairs?"
"Who am I?" Liu Mo smiled coldly, then walked towards the door and shouted at the top of his voice, "Where is the Yulin Guard?"
The next second, the royal Yulin Guards responsible for "protecting" him immediately appeared in front of him. "Master Liu, what's the matter?"
"I've run into some trouble. I need you to introduce me to Mr. Ji, who I am!" Liu Mo said while pointing to the man named Ji.
Seeing this, the man named Ji was so frightened that his face turned pale. The "sir" who is protected by the imperial guards must be a relative of the emperor. How can he offend him?
"Plop!" With a sound, the man surnamed Ji knelt down quickly, "Master Liu, please forgive me for not being able to recognize Mount Tai!"
Liu Mo snorted coldly, "Can I take care of this?"
"I can, I can, of course I can!"
"Hmph, why don't you hand over the jade pendant to me quickly!" Liu Mo said sternly.
The man named Ji did not dare to neglect, and quickly took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.
When he took the jade pendant, Liu Mo clearly saw the look in the eyes of the man named Ji, as if he was saying, so what if you are a relative of the emperor, I don't believe you dare to use your identity to suppress me in front of so many people.
Seeing this, Liu Mo sighed, "What a good piece of jade," he said. "You both said that the jade pendant is yours, but you don't have proof. It's really difficult to judge."
After hearing this, everyone started talking, and the man named Ji even glanced at him several times as if he were joking.
Without showing his expression, Liu Mo continued, "I think it's better to split this jade pendant in half, one half for each person, to settle the dispute."
"What..." the man named Jin shouted.
