“Squeak…”

The sound of feet stepping on the thin snow.

The old man looked up and was startled: "Just leave, just leave, I'll leave now..."

As he said that, he was about to lead the ox cart away.

Although he had little knowledge, he knew that it was not easy to mess with Chen Mo's clothes and his sword.

"Wait." Chen Mo stopped him.

The old man was so anxious that he burst into tears: "Big...Sir, what's the matter?"

"I'll buy some charcoal for you, this is a deposit." Chen Mo handed over a pile of broken silver, looking about ten taels.

It’s not that Chen Mo didn’t give him silver notes, but that it was not a good thing for the old man.

"Big...sir." The old man was stunned and did not dare to answer.

"Why, don't you do my business?" Chen Mo frowned.

"No, no, it's just that the old man's charcoal has been sold... and it has to be burned again after it has been sold out." The old man said.

"No hurry, I'll send it to you after the boil." Chen Mo reported the old man an address and said, "This matter is done, thank you very much."

Now, the old man didn't understand Chen Mo's intention. He had met a good person and wanted to kowtow to Chen Mo when he cried.

"Does someone of your age kowtow to me? Do you want me to live short?" Chen Mo stopped him.

After saying that, he left.

...

"Everyone, gather."

When he returned to the tutoring office, Chen Mo asked Zhang Kai to gather all the people under him.

"A group of official silver was robbed. According to reports, the thief has now settled in Pingyao County. The above meaning is to take back the official silver. The thief should not be alive."

This is a private matter that King Xin gave to Chen Mo. He did not leave the government office, so Chen Mo naturally cannot say that the gift given to King Xin’s child was robbed.

"promise."

"Set off!"

Before leaving, Chen Mo went home and said he would leave for a few days.

He also said that if someone comes to help the charcoal during the period, he will accept it and give it twenty or thirty taels of silver.

Pingyao County is several days away from the capital.

...

Six days later.

Pingyao County.

Hundred Houses.

"Ouyang Tao, a hundred households in the Jinyiwei District of Pingyao County, pay homage to Lord Chen." Ouyang Tao had already received the news that someone would be sent from above. After learning the name of the Lord who came, he immediately said:

"I have already set up a welcome banquet for several adults in Yuechun Tower, and please go there."

Ouyang Tao's eyes glanced at Li Wenchuan, Jiang Wanyou and others.

"No need, where are the thieves who robbed official silver? They will be dealt with earlier and they will finish work early." Chen Mo waved his hand.

Ouyang Tao was stunned. In the past, people came from the crowd, and no one would have played around before doing things.

How could Chen Mo be so decisive?

However, Ouyang Tao still bowed respectfully: "Sir, half an hour ago, according to our people, the thieves had already gone up the mountain. The wind and snow on the mountain were heavy, so they didn't follow him. However, according to my speculation, the thieves' nest should be on the mountain."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and asked again: "How strong are those thieves?"

"I have never fought, but according to the survivors of the official silver transport, the strength is in the sixth and fifth grades. The mountain may be the thief's nest, and there may be strong people there, because they are careful." Ouyang Tao thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Chen Mo nodded.

Ouyang Tao breathed a sigh of relief. It was a blessing that the people from above could still listen to advice.

But I heard Chen Mo say below: "Follow me up the mountain."

Ouyang Tao: “…”

Is this what you mean to act carefully?

If Ye Yiren was not by his side, Chen Mo would indeed be careful.

But now.

Just be reckless.

If you have such a big bodyguard here, it won’t be useless.

...

The Chu State developed the country with martial arts, but as the Emperor Taizu of Chu prohibited the heavenly ranks, martial arts were circulated among the people, and even the sects of the Jianghu could not have it. Then, with the establishment of the Jinyiwei.

The backbone of the martial artists in the martial arts world was trampled by the court, and they could only act under the eyes of the court. Those who dared to disobey the court could not escape the word "death".

Over the past few hundred years, many sects in the world have been blood-scrapped.

Therefore, the court also established absolute majesty.

But since Emperor Yongwen became addicted to cultivating immortals, the imperial court's prestige in the world began to gradually weaken, making the world more and more chaotic.

Due to the lack of timely handling and the indulgence of the court, the people in the martial arts world are becoming more and more courageous. After three hundred years, the chivalrous spirit of some places has become popular. The sects that were not dealt with three hundred years ago have now reached the point of contempt for the royal power.

It may have finally attracted the attention of the court, sent experts to invade the forces of the martial arts world, and became the leader of the martial arts world who was terrifying.

With the internal and external cooperation, several years of suppression have re-established the prestige of the imperial court in the world.

But the trend has spread, and although prestige has been established again, it is far from enough to curb the "heroes and martial arts ban".

There is such a group of people on Yiyang Mountain.

They established an organization called Yiyang Feixia.

The main theme of Yiyang Feixia is to punish evil and promote good, rob the rich and help the poor, and eliminate all injustice in the world.

Some time ago, they found out that a batch of silver from Jiangnan was to be transported to the capital.

This made them so angry that the people in the south could not afford to eat and rebel, but the local officials ignored the lives and death of the people and transported the people's wealth to the capital.

So they went down the mountain and robbed the money.

But after the disaster, they regretted it a little.

Because this batch of silver was actually given to King Xin, and was a gift for the little prince's full moon banquet.

Who is King Xin?

The current Regent is the real ruler of Chu.

If they robbed the things they gave to King Xin, how could they still survive?

So there was a disagreement in their team.

Some people advocated returning the money.

Some people said, "So what about King Xin? So many people in the south starve to death. Now winter is coming again. I don't know how many people have to freeze to death. Instead, he has plundered so many people's wealth and ointment as gifts. He is definitely not a good person, and should rob. If this batch of silver is transported back to Jiangnan, he can save thousands of people."

"That's right, but can King Xin let us transport the silver back to Jiangnan? How many masters did the court hide? It can be seen that even the Huashan Sect and Kongtong Sect were beaten to the mountain gate. We are not even able to stuff our teeth. On weekdays, we are robbed of some rich people, and ordinary officials make small fuss, so the court will not pay attention to it. But now if King Xin is robbed, it is afraid that a disaster will come... "

As they said that, they found someone walking in from the village entrance.

Stepping on the snow, it made a squeaking sound.

He was wearing a red dress and couldn't see his face clearly through the flying snow.

He walked step by step, strode up the steps, and walked into the hall.

Everyone finally saw clearly that this was a famous Jinyiwei.

Their faces darkened, and they saw the man entering the hall.

With a grunt, the door of the hall was closed.

"Clang!"

The sound of a long knife being unsheathed.

Chen Mo held the embroidered spring sword in his hand, looked at everyone and said, "Where is the silver?"
Chapter completed!
