Chapter 97

The night before the departure, the master suddenly asked Li Mo: "Master, do you want to report to Taishou Liu about your trip?"

Li Mo: "Why?"

The master felt that there were too many villains in the prefect's mansion, and he was always hard to guard against. He said thoughtfully, "What I'm afraid of is, if he asks you for something, but you are not in the yamen, will he make trouble for you?"

Li Mo nodded: "You are right, I will report to him right away."

After finishing speaking, he walked out without looking back, and left the city overnight.

Master: "???"

My lord, have you misunderstood something?That's not what I mean. At the very least, we have to write a letter and send it to us, and just let Taishou Liu know. You are not required to explain the situation to Taishou Liu in person.

Is the young man's temper too impatient? I hope that Liu Taishou will seek good fortune for himself and not be too miserable.

Li Mo rode a fast horse, and soon arrived at Fucheng, and entered the prefect's mansion with ease.

Not surprisingly, Prefect Liu is still in Second Aunt's room, don't ask Li Mo why he knows, it's just so sure.

Li Mo didn't even say hello, and pushed the window in. It was dark inside, but Li Mo could accurately find a chair and sit down.

"Hey, Lord Prefect, let me tell you something."

Liu Taishou:. . .Fuck you.

Liu Taishou felt that his wife and concubines would stay away from him from now on.

Putting on the quilt, she got out of bed like this, regardless of the second aunt, and pointed at Li Mo and yelled: "Li Mo, I don't have any grudges against you, why can't I come during the day? Why do I have to come at night every time, and I deliberately Going into other people's rooms, do you have this hobby?"

Li Mo frowned, and said calmly, "Master Liu, are you pointing at me?"

Liu Taishou remembered what Li Mo said last time, and trembled in fright: "No, you read it wrong." Fortunately, he must not have seen it clearly.

The second aunt lay on the bed bored, playing with her hair, she was used to it, without a lamp, once the mosquito net was put down, the scenery inside could not be seen clearly.

If there is no accident, this Li Mo will definitely succeed tonight. I don't understand why the master always obeys this Li Moyan, so he won't send someone to kill him?To keep him in this world is to be angry with yourself.

Prefect Liu had no way of knowing what Second Aunt was thinking, and at this moment he was furious.

Liu Taishou could imagine that Li Mo must be crossing his legs at this moment, looking like a fool.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, who was the boss, and the volume couldn't help raising several decibels: "Tell me, if you have any shit, you need to ask me."

It can be seen how angry Taishou Liu is, even swearing out.

Li Mo said indifferently: "It's nothing. I'm going to go on a long trip, at least two months, at least three or four months. During this time, I hope Mr. Liu will not embarrass us in Songjiang County."

In the dark, Taishou Liu stared at Li Mo fiercely several times with his eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Li Mo, ask yourself, when did I feel sorry for you in Songjiang County? When did I go to you to trouble you? Did you come here to warn me in the middle of the night?"

Li Mo plucked her ear delicately: "Hey, Mr. Liu, isn't it a little tight, come here to discuss it with you."

Liu Taishou was so angry that he wanted to slap Li Mo to death: "Get lost!"

Li Mo frowned: "Are you sure you are talking to the officer in this tone? It seems that this dagger has not seen blood for a long time. Does your lord miss it very much? Do you want to deepen your memory?"

Liu Taishou: Who is this? Who sent him to Songjiang County at the beginning, stand up, and I promise not to kill him.

Well, he managed to make Taishou Liu recall the miserable scene at the time, and immediately said in a soft voice: "You have robbed me of all my money, so where else is there? Do you think it's so easy to make money?"

Li Mo said in embarrassment: "Oh, what should I do? I have to travel far away, and I have to spend a lot of money. If I don't have money, how can I fix it? Master Liu, do you think my dagger is worth more or your life is more worth it? "

A dagger, a dagger again, what else do you have besides a dagger?
Li Mo: I have a lot of weapons. Do you want to try them all?

Taishou Liu suppressed his anger, and said word by word: "Say, you, do you want, more, less?"

Even if you don't give it to him, the bandit will search it himself. Maybe he has moved all the small treasury, so it's better to just give it to him.

Li Mo frowned: "Not much, just 1000 taels."

Liu Taishou: "You might as well go grab it."

"Master Liu, we are so familiar, it's so ugly to grab or not, this is called support, do you understand?"

"No, at most 500 taels."

"Okay, but I will go to the study or storeroom later."

"Okay, count yourself as ruthless."

Unwilling to light up the lamp, Taishou Liu took out a silver note from Second Aunt's jewelry box, which he just gave to Second Aunt this evening, and sent it away before warming it up.

After Li Mo left, Prefect Liu showed a gloomy expression: "Okay, Li Mo, you're not here, okay, I'll kill you Songjiang County people while you're away."

But there was a voice outside the window that made him tremble: "Master Liu, the people of Songjiang County rely on you. If there is something wrong, the officials will come to greet you when they come back."

Liu Taishou was instantly depressed, and took back the thought just now.

The second aunt gave Liu Taishou a blank look, why is she so cowardly?Don't you know how to use power? Shout out, and a lot of yamen servants will come over, you are an idiot, when will this kind of day be the end.

Thinking about the 1000 taels I just got is gone, my heart hurts so much, why not hide it earlier.

Li Mo was in a good mood after getting the money, slept soundly, and had no dreams all night.

The Zhou family knew that Li Mo planned to travel far during this time, and had already started preparing for this and that.

The son traveled thousands of miles and the mother was worried that it would be difficult to go out for a thousand days at home, so Zhou packed everything he could think of.

There is too much reluctance in her heart, she no longer stops Li Mo like before, knowing that it is useless to stop, Li Mo is a responsible person, once she decides what to do, she will not change, it is better to help her prepare for the road. used things.

Li Mo looked at the large and small bags of luggage, and the corners of his mouth twitched, whether he was going on a long trip or moving house.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou who was still packing, Li Mo came to the door and hugged her: "Mother, don't pretend anymore, we are riding horses, not carriages, so we can't fit so many things."

Immediately there were not only personal luggage, but also clothes made by garment factories, cosmetics produced by cosmetic factories, soap, preserved eggs, dried radishes, etc.

There are many people who go, and there are many things to bring.

Zhou frowned and picked and picked: "This summer dress, you have to put it on, this food, you have to put it on, this is something from your daughter's house, you have to put it on."

After picking for a long time, I found that there was nothing that could be taken out.

Li'er looked at her amusedly: "Madam, why don't you follow along, the young master has you by his side, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Zhou's eyes lit up, it was a good idea, and she looked at Li Mo expectantly.

Li Mo flicked Li'er's forehead: "You little girl, you come up with bad ideas."

"Mother, I don't know when I will come back. How can I let you suffer with me? You are in the yamen, wait for me to come back obediently, and bring you delicious food when the time comes."

Zhou Shi burst out laughing: "You silly child, mother is still a child, and you bring delicious food."

Li Mo: "Mother will always be the youngest in my heart."

Thinking of her daughter's departure and not knowing when it would be the return date, she began to worry again and frowned.

Li Mo stroked Zhou's face with his hands, trying to calm her sadness: "Mother, don't frown, it's not good-looking, such a beautiful person should smile more, come on, give me a smile."

Mrs. Zhou slapped her hand off: "You are the only one who is talkative."

"My lord, everyone is ready, come here to ask when you can leave." It was Liu Li's voice.

Lin Ling and Zhang Zhongping had already made preparations. The two of them were used to running out every day, and they had the least things. On the contrary, other people, in addition to their personal belongings, had to bring other things to promote the opening of the store.

Although Song Min's kung fu is good, he can't follow him on a long journey. As the head catcher of Songjiang County, he must stay here to guard.

He and the master are Li Mo's right-hand men, with one piece of paper and one weapon.

Including Li Mo, there were a total of 21 people, and they got on the horses gracefully. The servants sent the horse team out of the city gate all the way.

Zhang Dafu's mother hurried over with a cloth bag: "My lord, wait."

Li Mo stopped his horse: "Aunt Zhang?"

"My lord, here, here are the zongzi and glutinous rice cakes just out of the pot, take them to eat on the road." After speaking, they stuffed them into Li Mo's hands.

Not only Zhang Dafu's mother, but also the neighbors who Li Mo only met but couldn't name, also took out the things in their hands one after another, either stuffing them to Li Mo or others.

Before leaving the city gate, the people who already had enough luggage had a lot more food in their hands.

Li Mo sighed: These lovely people always silently express their feelings in their own way.

"Brother Ming, you have to come back early, I'll wait for you." A female voice interrupted Li Mo's emotions.

I saw a girl in the Mood for Love holding a delicately wrapped cloth bag and stuffing it into the hands of Yamen servant Liu Ming, her face was flushed, and she looked like a young girl pregnant with youth.

Liu Ming looked at the girl affectionately: "Sister Lian, wait for me! I will definitely marry you when I come back."

Damn, I ate dog food unexpectedly, and it hurt my heart.

Didn't you say that ancient people were very conservative?In public, what does this mean? Didn't you see that this official is still a bachelor?

Leave Liu Ming in the field, don't let him come back, break up the two of them, well, you are a black-hearted county magistrate.

"Let's go! Drive." Li Mo whipped the horse, and the horse galloped forward, talking to other young couples who were forced to separate.

Liu Ming looked at the team that had already set off, immediately withdrew his thoughts, and said goodbye reluctantly: "Sister Lian, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself."

The girl stomped her feet: "Oh, why are you leaving so soon?"

It is said that Jiangnan is a land of fishing and rice, rich as oil, but Li Mo did not go to Jiangnan, but went the opposite way, heading north and northwest.

Walking through countless villages and passing through many cities, several people lived in the open.

At this time, Li Mo was holding a cowhide water bag in his hand, squatting on the stone, twisting a piece of dry pancake, stuffing it into his mouth, and swallowing it slowly, so did the others.

Lin Ling has long been used to this kind of life of eating and sleeping in the open, and she has gone out with Li Mo before.

Lin Ling looked at Li Mo obsessively, and at the same time was very curious. Li Mo, as a gentle and weak scholar, why he knew everything, could do business and be an official. girl.

Zhang Zhongping was holding a piece of pancake and was about to pass it to Lin Ling. Seeing her silly smile, his eyes dimmed. After thinking about it, he still passed the pancake in his hand.

It's not that Li Mo didn't feel Lin Ling's gaze, but he just thought this girl was so stupid, why did she keep staring at her.

Li Mo took out the map in his hand. It was taken from Taishou Liu. It was useless in the hands of Taishou Liu, so he readily gave it to Li Mo.

The destination of the first stop is Huaiyang City, which is the capital city of Huaiyang County. It is said that the local living standard is good.

It seems that there are still two days to arrive, and I hope to find a good development opportunity there.

Ten days have passed since Li Mo went north. On this day, a group of people finally arrived at Huaiyang City. The gate here is guarded, and the gate is full of people who want to enter the city. If you want to enter the city, you must pay Ten Wen.

And the guards guarding the city are very arrogant: "Everyone line up, prepare money, and get out if you don't have money."

A homeless man was hovering at the gate of the city, begging bitterly: "Officer, please do me a favor and let me in."

The yamen servant almost beat him with a whip: "Whether you are deaf or blind, you will be charged ten coins to enter the city. If you have no money, get out."

Homeless man: "But I haven't eaten for several days, how can I give you any money?"

The yamen servant may have encountered this kind of situation every day, and he was already numb. He kicked the homeless man down and pointed his knife at the homeless man: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

Many people can't stand it, but they can't help it, ten cents, who is willing to help him out, it's not like he's just getting rich.

Liu Ming was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "Who are these people, so arrogant."

Zhang Zhongping was speechless: "Ten cents, this is too exaggerated."

They have been traveling around the surrounding counties in the past few months, and they have never heard of such an expensive entry fee of ten yuan. At most, it is only a few yuan.

Lin Ling: "This prefect must be a corrupt official."

Others chimed in: "Absolutely."

Li Mo looked around: "Ahem, pay attention to your words."

This is not Songjiang County, not a place where you act recklessly. If you are accidentally caught, it will be miserable.

When it was Li Mo's turn, the yamen servant said, "Get off your horse and unpack your bags."

Lin Ling yelled: "Why? We are not murderers and arsonists, why should we unpack?"

The yamen servant said proudly: "Since I am the yamen servant on duty today, if you don't want to open it, you can turn it backwards, get out!"

Lin Ling got angry and pointed at him: "You, you..."

Zhang Zhongping quickly grabbed her: "Why are you angry with this kind of person?"

Lin Ling looked at Li Mo, who was very calm in front of him, and saw that Li Mo had already started to unpack, and seemed to say to Lin Ling, and also seemed to say to the yamen servant: "We are all serious businessmen, just check."

The yamen servant pointed to Li Mo's knife: "What's the matter with your knife? I think you are murderers."

Li Mo: "When you go out, these are necessary weapons for self-defense. Have you never traveled far? Besides, there is no rule in Huaiyang City that you cannot enter the city with a knife."

There really isn't such a rule.

The yamen servants were silenced and motioned for them to pay.

Without further ado, the group paid the money and entered the city.

No one saw Li Mo secretly throwing five taels of silver at the tramp's feet.

The homeless man reversed his obedience just now, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Moyuan's back, then turned and left.

Huaiyang City is very large, even bigger than Yunning City (the prefecture where Liu Taishou is located).

The horse walked slowly into the city and saw the neat bluestone road, which was spacious enough for six horses to run side by side. It was obvious that this was the main road in the city, a bustling area.

The shops on both sides of this road are commercial shops, and the rent is definitely not small.

Lin Ling: "My lord, what do you think of our store opening here in the future?"

Zhang Zhongping: "The rent here must be very expensive, not worth it."

Li Mo: "No rush, let's have a look first."

Find a remote inn, it's cheap here, and the inn in a prosperous location is too expensive, so you can save money when you go out.
