After hearing what the boy said, Lu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter:

"You are right. Since Shiweitian has such good dishes, I will buy them directly. When the time comes, what I want to eat will all depend on my mood."

"What's more, the dishes are so good, but the restaurant is opened like this. The man named Chu really doesn't know how to run it, and it would be a waste in his hands."

"When you return home later, withdraw 20000 taels of silver from the public account and buy the restaurant directly in the name of our Lu family."

"It would be fine if the acquaintance named Chu betrayed him. If he didn't want to, huh..."

The following words were not finished, but the young man already knew his master's nature. If he couldn't get what he wanted, he would definitely destroy it.

Chu Mo, who was shut out by Yang Hongyu, walked around the yard and found that he was really bored, so he thought that he seemed to be absent from work again today.

So he hurriedly called Yang Paifeng: "Uncle, I have to go to work. Are you going?"

When Yang Paifeng heard this, he nodded hurriedly.

The young lady told herself to follow her uncle at all times. Wherever her uncle went, of course she would follow him.

So, Chu Mo dressed up and walked towards Mingde Gate with Yang Paifeng.

Soon, the two came to Mingde Gate. From a distance, they saw that a row of horse-rejecting stakes had been placed at the city gate.

Outside the horse pile, there were many victims in ragged clothes.

Seeing this scene, Chu Mo immediately walked over, found a soldier and asked, "What's going on? Why are you putting this thing up? Are you not allowed to come in or out?"

When the soldier saw it was Chu Mo, he immediately returned respectfully: "Sir, in the morning, we received an order from above, saying that the number of victims outside the city has exceeded 10."

"I was worried that they would rush into the city gate, so I ordered them to go out but not enter, so they put up horse-repelling stakes."

Are there already so many victims?

Chu Mo sighed, looked at the victims standing outside the city gate, with ragged clothes and stooped figures, looking at the city expectantly, and continued to ask:

"So how is the distribution of relief food above?"

The soldier looked around and found that no one was paying attention here, so he whispered: "I heard that the grain stores in the city are taking advantage of the famine to increase their prices. Now the price of grain changes several times a day, and they also buy in limited quantities."

"There is not much food in the treasury, and the porridge shed outside the city has changed from two meals of gruel a day to one bowl of porridge and water a day. I heard that people are constantly starving to death."

Chu Mo didn't expect the situation to become so bad. You know, he was among the victims before and could still get half full. It was only a short time before he ran out of food.

Thinking of this, he asked the soldier: "What is your name?"

When the soldier heard Chu Mo ask his name, he immediately bowed and answered: "Little Zhang San."

Chu Mo was amused and asked jokingly: "Are there Li Si, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang San opened his eyes and asked, "Sir, how do you know? They are all on duty over there."

As he spoke, he pointed his fingers at the group of soldiers at the city gate.

Chu Mo was speechless. Could this be his golden finger: follow his words?

Then he said: "Call the three of them, and then go and call Jia Quan and the few soldiers who were punished under my command that day."

Zhang San responded and immediately trotted away.

After a while, Jia Quan came over with five soldiers with bruises and swollen faces, and stood in two teams with Zhang and three others.

Chu Mo looked at the scars on Jia Quan's and others' faces and asked, "Who hit this?"

Jia Quan turned his head away and didn't even look at Chu Mo.

Zhang San, who was on the side, had sharp eyes and immediately replied: "Sir, this is because the little ones know that they have offended you, so when they have nothing to do in the past two days, they like to practice with them and beat them up."

When he saw Zhang San's dog-legged appearance, Jia Quan snorted, and then spat at him fiercely.

Chu Mo frowned and said nothing.

Zhang San and others on the side gave up and immediately rolled up their sleeves, ready to teach Jia Quan a lesson.

"Sir, you have also seen that you have forgiven these ungrateful guys for their sins, but they are still not convinced. We will help you teach them a lesson."

As he said this, he went up to surround Jia Quan.

Chu Mo glanced at Zhang San coldly and said, "They are my people now. It's up to me to decide whether they want others to teach them a lesson."

Zhang San didn't expect that his flattery would be slapped on the horse's leg. He immediately smiled and said, "Sir, you are absolutely right. You guys understand."

Chu Mo nodded. This guy is very discerning. He may not be able to count on big things, but he should still be very useful if he does some deceitful things.

Bah, bah, bah, what kind of deceit and abduction, what the uncle did was just robbing the rich to benefit himself.

After coughing, Chu Mo said to Zhang San: "I don't care what happened before, but Jia Quan and the others are my people now. If any of you dare to bully them in the future, you have to ask me if I agree."

Zhang San was surprised when he saw that Chu Mo would stand up for Jia Quan and the others, but he didn't dare to disobey at all, and they all bowed and obeyed.

Chu Mo nodded with eyes full, and then looked at Jia Quan: "Although your team was disrespectful before, if you can serve me wholeheartedly in the future, I will forget about it."

"If you still treat me like you did before in the future, then I'm sorry. I am a narrow-minded person and I will definitely seek revenge and revenge."

When Jia Quan and others heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted: "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely follow your lead in the future."

Although he couldn't see the expressions of Jia Quan and others, Chu Mo knew that these soldiers were just talking about it, and they must still be dissatisfied in their hearts.

But it doesn't matter, I won't fight with them to kill the enemy, I just let them do some errands.

"You guys tidy up and follow me out of the city later. I'm going to check on the victims."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

But soon, Zhang San and others began to sort out the knives.

But Jia Quan spoke: "Sir, there is an order from above that no one can enter the city again without a written order after leaving the city."

"What's more, our current task is to guard the city gate. Isn't it inappropriate for you to take us without permission?"

"Besides, the situation outside the city is chaotic. With just the few of us out, I'm worried that we won't be able to protect you."

Chu Mo thought for a while, then turned to Zhang San and said, "Take my seal and ask General Zhonglang for a sign to leave the city, and just tell me what I said."

Zhang San took Chu Mo's handwriting and rushed away immediately.

Chu Mo turned to look at Jia Quan again: "Although you are right, I want to tell you something now."
