It is true that the literary style of the Chu Dynasty flourished, but if a country wants to be prosperous and stable for a long time, it cannot do without a strong army, so sergeants are not easy to mess with.
As for Chen Mo, he only had a little feeling at this time.
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.
"Both of you, Fourth Uncle Zhang has told you the whole story. It was all done by Qin Sandao and the cattle dealer, and it has nothing to do with us."
"You said it doesn't matter?" Bingwei Yi stared at Chen Mo and said, "Then I have to ask, is this Qin Sandao's home, and who are you?"
"Qin Sandao was my father before, but not anymore." Qin Qing'er said.
Chen Mo just said that filial piety must be fulfilled, but filial piety must not be foolish.
Originally, Qin Qing'er was still thinking about taking care of Qin Sandao depending on the situation in the future, but now it seems that it is better to break off the relationship as soon as possible, otherwise there may be some trouble coming.
She thought well, but in the eyes of the two sergeants, Qin Qing'er recognized the relationship between father and daughter, which was enough to go back and do business.
"As the father's debts are repaid by his sons, the same applies to daughters. Come with us." Bingwei Yi shook the knife in his hand.
"Brother-in-law..."
Qin Qing'er had never experienced such a scene before, and she immediately panicked.
"You two, please don't embarrass this girl. I'll go back with you." Chen Mo stood up.
"Official..."
"Brother-in-law..."
Qin Xianglian and Qin Qing'er stepped forward one after another, both wanting to stop him.
"Master, I'll go with you." Huang Shulang walked to Chen Mo.
"Chen Jiaoyu, I'm going too."
Shen Tao and Zhang Chao also volunteered.
"Are you the instructor?" Bing Weijia frowned and asked.
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded.
"Put the knife away." Bingwei Jia warned, clasping his fists at Chen Mo, "We brothers are also acting under orders. If we were rude just now, please forgive me."
"Understood." Chen Mo returned the greeting.
"Can the official not go with you?" Qin Xianglian asked nervously.
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Bingwei Jia said, "This matter involves major military affairs. In any case, please come back with us and explain the matter clearly."
"Okay, lead the way." Nodding, Chen Mo looked at everyone, "Put your hearts in your stomach. The two military masters are sensible and won't do anything to me."
Bingwei A nodded: "Don't worry, everyone, I will report the whole thing truthfully when the time comes, and I will never let the teaching suffer any injustice."
"Please teach me." Bingwei Yi was also a little more polite.
Chen Mo originally thought he would go to the military camp, but his destination was Donglou Town. After talking along the way, he also understood what the so-called military affairs were.
Four words, transport supplies.
As winter was approaching, the army stationed at the border needed supplies, so they transferred supplies to keep out the cold from nearby prefectures and counties, so there was a matter of recruiting livestock.
Normally, this would be an internal matter within the army, but recently there has been constant friction between Da Chu and Hu Xia, so the task has been assigned to the garrison in various places.
The defenders of Baihe County only have a squad of a hundred people, so naturally they cannot complete such a large-scale task, so they can only rely on the power of the private sector.
To put it bluntly, it means renting or buying livestock and cars.
At any time, there are people who make ill-gotten gains. Animal dealers collude with the scum of the army and buy old, weak, sick and disabled animals at very high prices.
Among them was the one Qin Sandao secretly sold.
After the incident, the scum in the army were punished on the spot, the cattle dealers absconded and are being hunted, and those who sold the cattle were also involved.
Whether this is a big deal or a small matter depends entirely on how you define it.
"Chen Jiaoyu, just explain the situation truthfully later. If the superiors ask about us, we will try to say as many good things as possible."
After chatting all the way, Chen Mo left a very good impression on Bingwei Jia. He did not have the pretentiousness and self-righteousness of a scholar, but had a bit of the true temperament of a man.
Bingwei B has always listened to Bingwei A, so he also echoed: "Chen Jiaoyu, our leader has just taken office. There are clear rewards and punishments for doing things, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you both. It's cold. You can use the money to drink."
Chen Mo took out a tael of silver and forced it on the two of them.
This has nothing to do with bribery, it is entirely because Chen Mo knows in his heart that it is extremely difficult for people at the bottom of any industry.
Moreover, the two of them acted under orders and did not deliberately seek trouble.
Of course, the real reason that prompted Chen Mo to spend money was the transportation of materials itself.
If you can get involved in this kind of business, regardless of how much you earn, with a military background, everything you do in the future will be much easier.
Ever since he learned from Shen Tao that Wang Jun's uncle was the two heads of Longhu Trading Company, Chen Mo had been thinking about how to deal with it.
Now, if you can't protect everything, you can find a way out.
"Chen Jiaoyu, wait a moment, we will go in to report and take a look at the situation."
After collecting the money, the two guards became more polite.
"Thank you." Chen Mo stood outside the door.
After a while, an angry voice came from inside.
"You dare to intercede for this kind of thing, don't you think your life is too long? Once the captain finds out about it, all three of us will have to move our heads."
Um?
Why does this voice sound familiar?
Chen Mo was a little distracted just now and quickly pricked up his ears.
"Boss, I'm a professor at the academy, how could I do such a despicable thing?" Bing Weijia advised.
"That's right, we two brothers agree that with Chen Jiaoyu's character, he cannot do that kind of thing." Bingwei Yi agreed.
"Why, your elbows are turned outwards. Have you two received any benefits from me?" The reprimand turned into a beating question.
"How is that possible? We are stating the facts." Bingwei A explained.
"Boss, don't you still know what our two brothers are like?"
"It's because I know it clearly that I think there's something fishy about this matter. Where are the people? Bring them in and I'll interrogate them personally."
"..."
Bingwei A and Bingwei B looked at each other and backed away helplessly.
However, before they could go out, the door to the room was pushed open, and Chen Mo walked in with hearty laughter.
"Brother Liqiu, how do you plan to interrogate me?"
Brother Chen?
Xu Liqiu looked up when he heard the sound. When he saw clearly that it was Chen Mo, he hurriedly came up to meet him.
"Brother, why are you here?" After asking, Xu Liqiu looked at his two subordinates, "Could it be that Chen Jiaoyu you are talking about is him?"
"Yes." Bingwei Jia nodded and teased, "Boss, you said you wanted to interrogate Chen Jiaoyu personally, should we brothers take him down first?"
"Take advantage of your grandma." Xu Liqiu laughed and scolded, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and make tea for Brother Chen. You don't have any eyesight."
"Boss, are you still investigating the cow matter?" Bingwei Yi asked.
"Who are you checking? Are you checking Brother Chen?" Xu Liqiu pretended to be angry, "You two, please remember this. Brother Chen's character is enough for us to learn from him for a lifetime."

The two guards curled their lips and walked out with a smile.
