"Cut it in half, one half for each person!" Liu Mo repeated.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
The man surnamed Ji even laughed out loud, thinking in his mind that he met such a confused official and acted so blindly.
"Sir, you can't do it!" The man named Jin begged, "This thing is an ancestral inheritance of this villain, how can I..."
"If not, how can we quell the dispute?" Liu Mo shook his head, "Yu Linwei, cut this thing in pieces quickly."
With that said, he handed the jade pendant to one of the Yulin guards.
"Yes, sir, chop quickly and divide the villain in half!" The man named Ji laughed.
"Sir, no!" The man surnamed Jin knelt down, "I don't want this jade pendant. I just hope that you can take good care of it. I will pay back the silver you owe me slowly in the future."
"Oh?" Liu Mo smiled, "What about your wife? Do you really want to be sold into a brothel?"
The man surnamed Jin had a bitter look on his face. He glanced around and begged, "I don't know which master's house is short of servants. I am willing to work as a cow or a horse, but I only need fifty grains of silver to pay off my debt!"
After saying that, he kowtowed repeatedly, making the floor bang.
"Hey, it's useless even if you smash your head. How are you worth fifty taels of silver?" The man named Ji grinned.
Hearing this, Liu Mo's expression changed. He first helped the man surnamed Jin up, then turned his head and pointed at the man surnamed Ji angrily: "What crime do you deserve!"
The man named Ji was confused by the question, "Sir, how do you say this?"
"Hmph, if this jade was not his ancestral possession, why would he be willing to sell himself to pay off the debt and keep it intact?" Liu Mo pointed at the man named Jin and said, "And you, a good jade pendant will be split in half, don't worry. Anti-joy, but why?"
"I...this..." Ji heard this and was speechless for a long time.
"Everyone, no need to say more about who this jade belongs to!" Liu Mo said.
"It must belong to this young couple!" shouted one of the onlookers.
Then everyone agreed.
Liu Mo grinned and looked at the man named Ji, "How is it?"
The spiritual root of this move comes from the famous "Judgement of King Solomon" on earth. It's very useful!
Unexpectedly, this person wanted to deny it, "I have too many jade pendants in my house. I don't feel bad if one or two are missing. There is nothing strange about it."
"Report to the official, arrest this evil man and bring him to the official!" Someone even shouted sternly.
"Yes, arrest him and report him to the official!"
"Everyone, please be patient!" Liu Mo smiled, "The governor of Jizhou is in the private seat on the second floor. Ma Zhang, if you can help me, just come up and say a few words."
Hearing this, Ji's body softened and he almost fell.
"Sir... I am temporarily obsessed with wealth, please show me your kindness!" He immediately fell to his knees and kept begging for mercy.
"Oh?" Liu Mo snorted coldly, "Whose jade pendant does it belong to?"
"It's his!" Ji announced helplessly, "I know my mistake!"
"What about the fifty taels of silver I owe you?"
"Just use this jade pendant to pay off your debt!"
Liu Mo looked aside, "Huh?"
"Ah? Isn't that inappropriate?" The man named Ji was very frightened, "Damn it, little one, I owe you money, you don't have to pay it back!"
"That's not necessary. The silver he owes you, just pay it back to you in installments!" Liu Mo said, turning to look at the man named Jin, "How about it?"
"It's natural to pay back debts." The man named Jin replied, "As long as it's not a debt that the donkey is rolling over!"
"I wouldn't dare to measure him!" Liu Mo assured him. "This matter has been settled. What do you two think?"
Both parties nodded to express their approval.
The couple named Jin thanked them again and left, and the melon-eating crowd dispersed on their own.
After the matter was over, Liu Mo was about to return to the second floor when he heard a hearty voice: "Master Liu, please stay!"
Looking around Xun Sheng, he saw a man about twenty-seven or eight years old smiling at him. He has a slender figure, a delicate face, snow-white skin, and a majestic air. Although it is early winter, the red leaf fan in hand is very eye-catching.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"May I ask if Mr. Liu is Liu Mo of Rongcheng?" the man asked.
"Exactly! Is your name high?" Liu Mo asked in surprise.
"My surname is Tang, and my nickname is not worthy of mentioning to you!" The man replied, "Sir Liu, I have something I want to ask in person. I wonder if you can lend me a moment."
With Yulin Wei here, safety will not be a problem, Liu Mo nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them walked aside. The man who called himself Tang lowered his voice, leaned into Liu Mo's ear and asked, "Did you kill that bastard Gao Qi?"
Why does everyone think I killed Gao Qi? Liu Mo thought to himself. Forget it, too lazy to explain.
"So be it!" he declared.
The man frowned and said, "Master Liu has such skill? He can rival Gao Qi!"
"In a chaotic army, anything is possible!"
Hearing this answer, the man frowned again, "God's will, everything is God's will!" He said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for eliminating this evil for my people in Daxia!"
Ha, don’t think about it, it’s Gao Qi’s big enemy again!
Brother Yang, you kill people and I lick them. This taste...not bad!
Suddenly, the face of the man named Tang changed and he said very seriously: "Master Liu, Jizhou City is not peaceful, so be careful!"
"Huh?" Liu Mo was puzzled. "how do I say this?"
At the feet of the Emperor, who is so bold as to harm me?
"Your Excellency, you will understand in the future!" After saying that, the man surnamed Tang raised his hands and bowed, "Master Liu, see you later!"
"No!"
When the man named Tang walked away, Liu Mo shook his head and said, "Weird person!"
Return to the second floor lounge.
Many officials, including He Ruda, were sixty or seventy percent drunk, and some of the drunken ones had already started talking nonsense.
Although Liu Mo wanted to leave right away, he couldn't help himself in the officialdom.
I had no choice but to smile and continue drinking.
Drink, smile, drink, smile, this is all Liu Mo has to do.
The banquet didn't end until late.
Drunk, he was escorted all the way back to his residence by the Imperial Habayashi Guards.
Dare was about to lie down and rest, but he heard Zhao Da's knock on the door.
"Come in!" Liu Mo shook his head to get rid of the drowsiness.
"Uncle, excuse me!" Zhao Da said with cupped hands.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Uncle, do you feel anything unusual?" Zhao Da asked in a low voice.
"You mean Yu Linwei?" Liu Mo asked.
Monitoring and protection are very common operations!
"No, it's not this!" Zhao Dadao said, "Uncle, there are people following us! And they are all good players..."
Liu Mo frowned, he must be from the eldest prince!
The man named Tang told me to be more careful today. Could it be that the eldest prince wants to assassinate me? In front of his father?
Although it’s a bit outrageous, you have to guard against it!
"I know, I will be careful!" Liu Mo said, "So are you, Zhao Da. They might attack you first!"
Take one step at a time. The Emperor of Great Xia and the Sixth Prince are not idiots and will not remain indifferent!
Being drunk, Liu Mo lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Life is the most precious thing. In the next two days, Liu Mo stayed in the room and didn't go.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the palace sent a carriage, "Your Majesty has summoned Mr. Liu Mo Liu and set off immediately!"
