On the wharf of Bailou Town, there were no cargo ships or merchants coming in and out. The river was as calm as a mirror. Qixing stood on the shore and seemed to be carefully studying his own reflection in it.
Occasionally, he gently caressed his cheeks and braided hair hanging by his ears.
"Meng Xia has received news that our casualties are much smaller than expected. Some of the people who quietly discovered the problem in the middle of the night have not left. They have been waiting outside for help." Shopkeeper Lu said, looking very pleased. At first
I was also worried that they would impulsively make trouble with the officers and soldiers.
Qixing said: "Scholar Liu is contacting them outside. The Mohists who can come here are all smart and experienced people."
After all, he was able to survive in hiding despite the guilt of the Mo clan, and he was able to come here to run for the position of leader. He had both passion and a calm mind, and would not act rashly if he found any problems.
Mr. Wei frowned: "But leaving here does not necessarily mean you will be safe. The government's pursuit is not limited to here. As long as you give an order..."
The entire Great Zhou Dynasty has become a hunting net. No matter how powerful, calm and passionate the Mohist is, it doesn't matter.
Just like this, wouldn't they be in the hands of the government?
What's even more hateful is that the people in their Mo clan have also become government lackeys!
The wealthy man smiled and waved his hands: "No, no." He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Liu, there is something I have been hiding from you."
Accompanied by the sound of talking, the wealthy man slowly walked up.
"Sir, catching her now is not the best result you can get. If you wait a little longer, you can not only get more money, the hidden treasures of King Jin and Momen, but also capture the daughter of Head Luo.
I think this is the best result for you and the court."
The daughter of the leader? Liu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "He actually has a daughter?"
Liu Yan reached out and picked it up, placing it side by side with the other chopsticks.
Qixing told the three members of the Wei family about Gao Caizhu and Liu Yan, but reached an agreement with Gao Caizhu not to tell everyone.
"I allowed you to do what you requested." Liu Yan continued, "But it seems that the result is not what you expected. You and your son overestimated yourselves..."
Rich Man Gao smiled bitterly and did not respond to Liu Yan's teasing about Mo Sheng.
Liu Yan said oh.
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Gao casually flicked his fingers behind him, and whether it was a piece of sawdust torn off the stair railing or a willow leaf picked casually, it instantly fell on the back of Gao Xiaoliu's neck.
Liu Yan picked up the tea and said: "I'm really not angry. As a Mohist, Mr. Gao should do anything to save his fellow disciples."
Rich Man Gao smiled: "If someone else said it, I wouldn't believe it, but this lady..." At this point, he coughed lightly, "This is another thing that I have hidden from you, sir."
As he spoke, he poured tea for Liu Yan again and served it with both hands.
"Master Liu." Probably because he was tired of seeing Liu Yan's calm expression, a hint of violence flashed in Gao Xiaoliu's eyes, "Actually, I really want to try to see if the Momen is really over after I kill you.
"
"I always thought that I would follow Master Luo and melt into the sword-making pool, but I didn't expect..." Mr. Gao said with excitement, "That lady actually said that Juzi Ling is still there and knows his whereabouts..."
The rich man stopped joking and said, "She is the daughter of the boss."
Hearing this, Liu Yan asked: "Say? You believed it when she said it?"
Zhike followed behind, picked up Gao Xiaoliu and walked away.
Liu Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Instead of answering, he said: "I will tolerate you this time, but your Majesty may not be able to tolerate me."
Gao Xiaoliu didn't even look back and shouted: "Dad, what are you plotting with him again? Harm my Momen——"
The wealthy man himself sat opposite Liu Yan.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wei's family looked angry: "Why don't you make the affairs of the rich man public? Why does this scum pretend to be rescuing everyone! It's obviously him who caused everyone to be like this."
Although everyone knew that the head of the Mo clan was driven by the King of Jin, Liu Yan's face became even colder after hearing these words.
Gao Xiaoliu was not surprised that Liu Yan knew that there was another person in charge, or his father told him, or Liu Yan's eyeliner was staring at it, or even Liu Yan saw it with his own eyes.
Likewise, as an official of the imperial court, what he did to the Mohist disciples was all right.
"The money from each hall can be mobilized according to the identity of the head, but this treasure..." Gao Caizhan continued, "It was specially prepared by Head Luo for the King of Jin."
Before Liu Yan could speak, footsteps and helpless scoldings could be heard from downstairs.
Only Gao Caizhu and Liu Yan were left upstairs.
"No, no, Mr. Liu, listen to me. Although Xiao Liu did not become the leader, the result is more satisfactory than I expected." Gao Caizhu said hurriedly, with a smile on his face, "This time, the leader
I really found a treasure during the election."
"Don't mess around."
Gao Xiaoliu, who was upstairs, still had his chopsticks pressed against Liu Yan's neck.
Liu Yan's expression was dull: "I don't mind no matter how many things you hide from me."
"Where is this treasure? I beg Mr. Liu to forgive us Momen for keeping it for a while longer," said Mr. Gao.
"Elder Gao has indeed harmed everyone, but I believe he is willing to do his part for everyone." Qixing said, looking away from the river and smiling slightly.
"Master Liu, that's all for this time," he said.
Liu Yan smiled: "Do you disciples of Saint Mo eat the fireworks of the world or do you not eat them?"
….
….
The outside of Bailou Restaurant was no longer empty, but was surrounded by soldiers and guards.
The rich man Gao didn't care, and continued: "In addition to the money from each hall, Master Luo also has a treasure."
"There should be a limit to your greed." Liu Yan said coldly, "After a period of time, do you still have to tolerate you to reproduce and live forever?"
Liu Yan sneered: "I don't care about your affairs either."
"This treasure cannot be obtained by relying on the identity of the new leader." Rich Man Gao said, "You must use the Giant Order to open it."
Liu Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Then should you hand over this treasure, or should I catch it myself?"
The rich man came over and said: "This boy behaves just like me when I was young. He didn't think about anything, he was single-minded, and he didn't care."
"Why, if my son threatens me once, I will also do it?" He said, reaching out and pushing a chopstick to the rich man, with a bit of ridicule, "Here, here you go, take it and use it."
Before Gao Xiaoliu finished speaking, he fell forward and fell on the table, dropping the chopsticks in his hand.
"I don't think that I am more valuable than my son." The rich man said with a smile, put the chopsticks back and put them away, and poured tea for Liu Yan, "Mr. Liu, young people are ignorant, please calm down."
Liu Yan glanced at him without saying a word.
Rich Man Gao said: "He has an illegitimate daughter and has never admitted it in front of others, so no one in the world knows about it."
Liu Yan smiled.
"In short, she has been hiding her identity until now. This time she came out to fight for the position of leader, and she told me that she knew the whereabouts of the Order. I may not believe what others said, but she said it, and I think it may not be a lie."
He said, "So please allow Mr. Liu some more time. When this young lady is firmly in the position of head, let her come up with the Order of the Giant..."
The wealthy man breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Please don't worry, sir. I will definitely let you go back and give an explanation."
As he spoke, he took out an account book and stamped it.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. We found the vault where Momen hid in the Bai family shipyard."
Liu Yan looked at the account book that was handed to him and drank the tea in one gulp.
This year has gone by so fast. This month is coming to an end. I would like to wish everyone a happy old age~~
