Chapter 80: Back to the Mo Family(1/2)
"Xiao Xiangxiang, your family is not simple." Tang Sha sighed. No wonder Chen Xuan asked her to send him back to the Mo family. With such a big family as his backer, as long as he doesn't seek death, he will basically have a worry-free life.
In addition, no one would believe that the industry could be so big if it was said that the relationship with the government was not good. Not only the government, but also the tea horse road Tangsha was seen in the book, and bandits robbed it all year round.
The Mo family has been on this path for more than ten or twenty years or even longer. Maybe they have only reached some kind of agreement, or maybe their own sect has strength that they cannot afford to offend.
No matter what kind of Mohism, it is indeed not simple.
Mo Chuanxiang also raised her eyebrows and said nothing. When she was sent away, she knew that her family was rich, but she had been wandering around in the world for so many years and rarely cared about the Mo family's affairs. Naturally, she didn't know that the Mo family was so rich now.
"Do you want to go back now or tomorrow morning?" Tang Sha asked again.
Mo Chuanxiang thought for a while: "Tomorrow morning."
"Okay, no problem. Do you need us to accompany you?" Tang Sha said politely.
"It's time to work."
Tang Sha:……
She was really just being polite. It was a family reunion and it didn't matter if they just followed.
At this time, Qing Zheng touched Tang Sha's shoulder and whispered: "Xiao Ming, I don't want to go."
"Why?"
"You see, she is ugly, and her family members must be even uglier. I don't want to say hello to them when I go there," Qing Zheng said arrogantly.
"You are not allowed to go either." He added.
Do you think I want to go? But just now I asked that stupid question, forget it, just go, what a big deal. Tang Sha comforted himself and thought.
The reason why Qingzheng did not leave was very simple. As far as he knew, the internal relations of the Mo family were very chaotic. The current head of the family, Mo Wu, was seriously ill and was about to die, and the people below were waiting for him to divide the family property after his death.
He ordered people to check Mo Chuanxiang, Mo Wu's daughter.
The Mo family has four houses in total, and Mo Wu's branch is considered the eldest. Mo Wu also has two sons and one daughter. Those two sons, Mo Chuanxiang's brothers, are weak in nature.
In the past, when Mo Wu was healthy, he was fine. But since Mo Wu became seriously ill, the other three families began to suppress him. The second son's scheming and planning were not as good as others, so naturally they couldn't resist.
Now as long as Mo Wu dies, I am afraid that the entire Mo family will be divided by the other three branches.
If Mo Chuanxiang goes back now, he will definitely be squeezed out and targeted by the three groups, and his life will definitely be difficult.
Besides, he saw that Mo Chuanxiang was pampered by people from the sect, and he was also a brainless person.
Unexpectedly, Mo Chuanxiang didn't dare to go alone, so he wanted to drag Xiao Ming along. With Xiao Ming's temperament, if Mo Chuanxiang suffered a loss, Xiao Ming would definitely meddle in this matter.
He wasn't worried about the others, mainly the disgusting old ghost behind the second room of the Mo family.
If it weren't for that old ghost, he wouldn't have investigated the Mo family's affairs so clearly.
Lao Gui is Lao Gui, as everyone in the world calls him. He is cruel and ruthless, so he relies on special offerings from wealthy people to practice his skills.
Among all the wealthy businessmen in the Chen Kingdom, Cheng Lixue is the only one who can be seen as decent. He just looks like that and has a clean fortune. He just likes to throw money at people.
"Go back to the inn. The dumpling is still there. Buy some bamboo shoots for it." Tang Sha ignored Qing Zheng.
…
When they returned to the inn, the inn was already in chaos.
I saw several waiters helplessly surrounding the little beast holding a bamboo tube and trying to grab it. When the little beast opened its mouth, the waiter immediately retracted his hand.
Seeing Tang Sha and the others come back was like seeing the savior.
"Sir, you are finally back. If you don't come back, your panda will eat our shop!"
Tuanzi also seemed to notice that there were a few more people, and he wanted to stare at Tang Sha with his eyes: "Hmm~hmm~"
Give me a hammer!
Tang Sha quickly stepped forward and pulled out the bamboo tube that Tuanzi was holding. He looked at it carefully and smelled it. The smell of wine seemed to be the bamboo tube used to make wine.
Tang Sha looked at the dumpling that was looking at her aggrievedly, and reached out to rub its head: "You can't eat everything when you are hungry! The teeth of such an old bamboo tube are broken, I think you will wait for porridge in the future."
After saying that, he stood up and took two bamboo shoots from the linen bag in Yuanfang's hand.
Putting it into the little paws of the dumpling, the little dumpling immediately hugged it and gnawed it, obviously he was starving.
Tang Sha picked up the dumplings and held them in his arms. He turned around and said to the waiters, "Excuse me. Please record all the damaged items in the store."
Tang Sha looked around and saw deep teeth marks on the corners of the table and stools.
"Tsk, tsk, iron-eating beast, iron-eating beast."
Modern pandas are pampered and pampered. The pandas here seem to have much stronger resistance. They ate so much ash in the afternoon and no adverse reactions were seen.
I just chewed the door, and you are so angry, old man!
Tang Sha stuffed the dumplings into the hole and blocked it up.
I ate the food cooked by the inn chef in the evening, and it tasted pretty good.
The landlady spent the whole day drinking at the counter, and they walked around without paying any attention to her.
There are four or five waiters in the whole inn, and they only serve Tang Sha and the others. Naturally, they are extremely attentive, and they don't have to do anything like pouring wine themselves.
"Waiter, your boss lady doesn't need to eat?" Tang Sha asked as the waiter stepped forward to pour the wine.
After the waiter poured the wine, he looked at the landlady, and then whispered: "When I wake up from the wine tomorrow morning, I will look for something to eat."
Tang Sha nodded, expressing understanding, and then asked: "Why is your landlady so drunk?" Although the alcohol content of this ancient wine is not high, drinking too much will still make you drunk.
The waiter looked at the landlady and hesitated to speak, and hesitated to speak, and hesitated to speak.
Seeing this made Tang Sha's heart tighten, "Don't be like this, it's uncomfortable."
Finally, after struggling for a while, the waiter finally spoke: "Actually, I don't know the specifics."
Several people:……
Then what are you struggling with?
"But I know roughly, hehe."
As soon as he saw this familiar smile, Tang Sha knew that this person's soul of gossip had begun to burn.
"Fang'er, come sit with me and give up the stool to this big brother."
As soon as Yuan Fang stood up, Tang Sha felt that there was another person next to him. Qing Zheng pointed to where he was just now and said to the waiter: "Sit down."
The waiter always felt that the atmosphere was strange, but he couldn't pinpoint what was strange.
After sitting down, the waiter consciously took an empty wine glass from the table and poured himself a glass of wine.
Then he took a sip and began to say: "I came to this inn ten years ago. When I came here, although the proprietress was still in charge of the inn, there was actually a boss behind her.
At that time, the landlady was kind and generous, and the wages she paid us were not low, so I stayed here until today.
In addition to running this inn, the boss seems to be also engaged in tea business. Our boss looks like a talented person, he is modest and polite, and at a young age, he is a prominent figure in Yicheng.
Alas! It's a pity that God is jealous of the talent's longevity. Six years ago, the boss transported a large amount of fine tea and sold it to the Western Regions on the Tea Horse Road. However, when the late emperor passed away, the surrounding forces were ready to take action, and there was chaos for a while.
The boss just ran into thieves who were making trouble everywhere, and his heart and lungs were ripped out while he was still alive. It was so miserable!
Later, when the news came back, the landlady went crazy and kept saying she didn't believe it until she saw the body. Then the landlady became like this." The waiter said regretfully.
"Didn't your boss hire an escort?" It stands to reason that businessmen should know that there are bandits along the way, so they should take precautions, and what is the operation of digging out the heart and lungs?
"No! Because we were going with the Mohist caravan, so there was no need to hire any bodyguards," the waiter said.
"Then those who went to the Mo family are also dead?" Mo Chuanxiang suddenly asked.
"No way! It's just a few who died! The Mo family has experts. In the end, the group of bandits were driven away by the Mo family. It's just that the boss happened to be one of the few." The waiter shook his head and sighed.
.
"According to what you say, how can you still have time to dig out your heart and lungs?" Tang Sha asked with a frown.
"It is said that those bandits are all bloodthirsty, and their killing methods are naturally extremely cruel." The waiter said and shuddered.
"Who said these words?" Tang Sha asked again.
"The guy who went to do business with the boss came back and said it." The waiter thought for a while and said.
"What about the guys?"
"I haven't worked here for a long time." The waiter shrugged.
Tang Sha nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He always felt that there was something wrong here and it didn't make sense.
Qing Zheng sat next to Tang Sha, eating his own food. He sat next to Xiao Ming, and the food was especially delicious.
Bandits, Mo family, ripping out hearts and lungs, haha, it’s a joke. Qing Zheng obviously knew something, but he didn’t say anything, so he let Xiao Ming just listen to the story, so as not to dirty her ears with these dirty words.
At this time, Tang Sha was silently complaining about the bloody plot that he had thought of before, and he was sentimental about it for a while, tsk tsk, you are mentally retarded.
"But except for the first two days, I never saw those guys again." The waiter thought of something and said strangely.
Kill people and silence them? Why silence them? What else are you afraid of? Aren’t you just a businessman?
Qing Zheng seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at the counter and could only see one foot sticking out of the counter.
Looking at the shoes, you can guess that the landlady is also tall and powerful.
