Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

The little boss was stunned by Cheng Yaojin. He raised his head and was about to say something, but when he met Cheng Yaojin's eyes that were about to burst into flames, he suddenly withered and hurriedly begged for mercy.

When the surrounding guards saw this posture, they immediately knew that they had kicked an iron plate and hurriedly dispersed with a cheer.

Seeing that the guards dispersed without his own orders, Cheng Yaojin nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Chu Mo: "Boy Chu, you came here when you said you would. As for giving me such a big gift?"

After speaking, he pointed to the long knife on the plaque and said, "This is a gift from Mr. Chu to us. Why don't you accept it for me quickly?"

Guards, you look at me, I look at you, and then you quickly arrange for people to move the ladder and get the knife.

Chu Mo was in a bad mood now and had no time to chat with Cheng Yaojin, so he asked directly: "Where are the servants I asked you to help arrange before? Please take me to see them."

Cheng Yaojin, who saw that Chu Mo was in a bad mood, said nothing and immediately asked someone to fetch some horses and prepare to set off.

When Chu Mo saw that he was riding a horse again, he remembered what he had suffered before, and immediately waved his hand: "Old Cheng, your family is so shabby? If you don't go out in a carriage, what kind of horse are you riding?"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned. He was a bandit and thought that riding a horse was more prestigious than riding a carriage.

So after hearing Chu Mo's request to check on the servants, he immediately asked someone to bring the horses.

But when Chu Mo said this, he remembered that the other party's equestrian skills were terrible. He had almost defeated himself when he circled the city before.

If this were to go out of the city for a while, it might be immediately useless.

So he hurriedly asked people to prepare the carriage.

Looking at the carriage made of huanghuali wood in front of him, Chu Mo instantly fell in love with it.

What's even more rare is that in front of the carriage, the two horses pulling the carriage look extraordinary.

Chu Mo swallowed his saliva, and as soon as he got on the carriage, he was stunned by the exquisite decoration and layout inside, and he didn't recover for a long time.

When Cheng Yaojin saw that his servant had brought out his best carriage, he immediately cursed in his heart: Son of a bitch, he was reluctant to use such a good carriage on weekdays, so why did he give it to Chu Mo today?

He glared hard at the guard who was delivering the message, then waved his hand and gave the order to set off.

In fact, guards also have a hard time talking about it.

He saw that his master was flattering this boy of unknown origin, and he immediately defined him as a figure at the top of the pyramid.

When he heard that Cheng Yaojin wanted to pick up the car by himself, he immediately thought that he had offended the other party just now in order to prevent the other party from hating him.

So, the guard who sent the message thought carefully and asked someone to hitch up the best carriage and drive out.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to flatter Chu Mo, but he was also severely blamed by his own master.

The group of people soon left the city and arrived at a manor on the outskirts.

According to Cheng Yaojin, this was where Li Shimin was specially rewarded for his meritorious service when he ascended the throne.

Because there were so many servants in the past, it was difficult to arrange them in the city, so Cheng Yaojin had people bring them here.

Chu Mo was currently thinking about the anomalies in the restaurant.

After much deliberation, he finally came to a conclusion that even frightened him, that is, Yang Hongyu had been taken away.

Otherwise, the current Yang Hongyu is the twin sister of his wife.

However, even though I have been in Shiweitian for so long, I have never heard that the other party has any twin sisters.

They are not twin sisters, but their appearance is exactly the same. It is basically impossible for them to deceive someone close to them.

As for why it is suspected that the other party has either had his soul penetrated or his body taken away, it is not that someone is pretending to be someone in disguise.

Chu Mo could tell the other party responsibly that when he took advantage of the opportunity before, he touched Yang Hongyu's face. There was absolutely no makeup on it, let alone a human skin mask or anything like that.

Judging from the other party's behavior, Duofa should know about his relationship with Yang Hongyu, but it seemed that something went wrong when he was inquiring about the information.

As a result, Yang Hongyu now regards herself as an ordinary woman and treats her husband obediently.

And before, there was a body-piercing person like himself, and a soul-piercing person like Chu Xin, so there shouldn't be anything strange about another person taking over the body.

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on Chu Mo's lips.

He finally got a beautiful wife, so he just changed his mind.

Cheng Yaojin saw that Chu Mo didn't talk much on the way today, and now he looked lost, so he patted Chu Mo on the shoulder and said:

"Boy Chu, I think something is wrong with you today. Did something happen?"

Chu Mo shook his head: "It's okay, Lao Cheng, help me find those people who have experience in the restaurant business, and I will take them back to Shiweitian."

Seeing that Chu Mo didn't want to say anything, Cheng Yaojin stopped inquiring and followed Chu Mo's request to select experienced servants.

There were more than 20 people selected.

Among them, three have been restaurant keepers, four have been restaurant chefs, and a dozen have worked as waiters and busboys in restaurants.

Originally, these people had skills or had a job to support their families, so they would not be reduced to prostitution.

However, the previous wave of refugees broke out and crashed into several county towns, looting them all.

The people who could barely survive before were naturally unable to continue to survive after being looted by the refugees, and could only become one of the refugees.

After hearing what happened to these people, Chu Mo sighed and didn't have much sympathy.

This is how disasters happened in ancient times. Once a wave of refugees breaks out, if it is not dealt with in time, it will snowball and gather more and more people.

He still remembered that the main reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was caused by those refugees.

After choosing a calm-looking shopkeeper and a few clever-looking waiters from among these people, Chu Mo thought about it and picked two more chefs.

Cheng Yaojin arranged for another donkey cart to help him transport people to Shiweitian.

Then he said to the remaining people: "Don't worry if you are not selected this time. We will have a large number of stores to open in a while, and we will naturally be able to use you by then."

Those who were not chosen felt much relieved when they heard Chu Mo's words.

In fact, since they came to this manor, they have eaten and drank every day, and only done some chores. They have lived a very comfortable life, and they have taken the initiative to selectively forget about the fact that they have sold themselves, without any sense of urgency.

But today Chu Mo came to pick someone, but it sounded the alarm for them. If the master came to pick someone again in the future, and he was not selected, would he be sold again?

As soon as such an idea came to mind, the slaves who had lived a comfortable life instantly panicked.

Chu Mo also saw the unconcealable panic of these people, so he offered a few words of comfort.
