ten mile river moon

At the same time, in an ordinary small courtyard a few streets away from the county government office in Yangzhou City, Mo Ziyu looked haggard, wearing black clothes wrapped around her too thin body, and the left sleeve was empty, which looked a little funny.

However, none of the people present could laugh. After all, the person in front of him had heard of the method before, and recently it was inexplicably chilling. It was just that a maid in the house accidentally saw Mo Ziyu's story last night. With a glance at his left arm, Mo Ziyu gouged out his eyes on the spot, and then he was dragged down to spend the night in the execution room. He heard that when the body was pulled out the next day, he didn't even have a human appearance.

Good masters have always used punishment methods to deter subordinates, but they have never seen a more ruthless person than this Mo Ziyu, he is simply a devil from hell.

"How much money has been raised now?" Mo Ziyu's cold voice sounded.

Liu Min, who was standing at the bottom, looked up at Mo Ziyu at the top, then quickly lowered his head, a little trembling, "8 taels have been raised, because the time is not long, so..."

After Mo Ziyu finished listening, she didn't say a word, she rubbed the celadon teacup on the table with her only remaining right hand, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

The few people standing below looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether the 8 taels was too much or too little.

After nearly a cup of tea, Mo Ziyu raised his head, looked at the people underground and said, "I will give you another seven days to raise 2 taels of silver, and then this end of the matter here, you follow me to another place." place."

Liu Min looked up in shock, and the three men of different races standing on the other side who were obviously not from Northern Chu looked at each other and looked at you, a little anxious.They have been in Yangzhou City for nearly two months, but they have raised less than 8 taels of silver. The reason why they say it is [-] taels is because the current inventory is counted together.

But now it is suddenly said that they are asked to take out 10 taels in seven days, and they are a little surprised. Not to mention the source of goods, it is not easy to sell things covertly. , and you have to go to another place afterwards, what's the matter? !

Mo Ziyu naturally saw the panicked expressions on the faces of several people, but he obviously didn't care what they thought, so Mo Ziyu didn't say another word, turned and left the study, and went back to his room.

As soon as Mo Ziyu left, the remaining four immediately sat together, and the three men of different races talked to each other, arguing endlessly.

Liu Min was so quarreled by the three that his head hurt, "Shut up!" The three stopped and looked at Liu Min, their eyes were a little angry, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves, so the three didn't say anything more.

"What are your plans?" Liu Min whispered.

The three of them looked at each other, and then a man who looked older said, "Where is Master Liu? What are your plans?" His tone of voice was a bit strange, but it was not incomprehensible.

Liu Min glanced at the door, and then smiled, "Of course I follow the master, and I'm about to succeed. Once I become a prime minister, this is not an opportunity that everyone can have!"

The three of them hesitated. Originally, it was already a serious crime for them to stay in Beichu privately as people from the Dayue Kingdom. Please, everyone doesn't have too many scruples.

But this time, if they can help Mo Ziyu to the end, then they will be ministers of the dragon, not to mention how rich they will be, at least they will not be killed by Mo Ziyu.And now that the second prince has been arrested and returned to the country, and they have done so many things in Beichu, as long as the first prince is still in the Great Moon Kingdom, then there will be no chance for them to survive, so it is better to fight this one.

Liu Min watched the few people muttering for a while, and then the elder who spoke earlier said, "We will follow suit!" As expected, Liu Min smiled, and then the few people said some polite words, The three of them left, planning to find ways to get more goods, and strive to raise so much silver taels in seven days.Since they agreed to follow along, this is the first thing Mo Ziyu asked them to do. Naturally, Mo Ziyu will be satisfied with them if things are done well, and the benefits will be even greater after success.

Watching the three of them leave, Liu Min smiled mockingly. It really is simple-minded. This kind of brain deserves to be used by the master without knowing it.

Turning around and walking towards the backyard, Liu Min stood outside a room, raised his hand and tapped on the lacquered wooden door three times.After the people inside responded, Liu Min pushed the door open and entered.

"How is it?" Mo Ziyu asked.

Liu Min's tone was respectful, "Those three people have already decided to be loyal to the master, there is no problem."

Mo Ziyu turned around and looked at Liu Min who was standing with her head bowed, her tone was cold, "I did a good job this time. After I become the master of this Northern Chu, you will definitely have the opportunity to come to Beijing."

Liu Min smiled, and after the two had a few words, Liu Min said goodbye and left this ordinary small courtyard.

In the morning, the sun shines into the room through the window, Liu Chengyue turned over in a daze, feeling that she didn't get enough sleep.

Jiang Lie on the side looked a little funny watching him toss and turn on the bed, but it was more of a feeling of warmth. This feeling of being able to see the person he likes lying next to him every morning is really not a good feeling.

Rolling around, Liu Chengyue finally regained consciousness a little, so she stretched out a hand to touch the side, Jiang Lie watched that hand bend the corner of her mouth, and moved her body to one side.

Liu Chengyue touched for a long time, but did not touch Jiang Lie, thinking that he got up early to practice martial arts again, so she didn't take it to heart, and originally planned to ask about the time.

Getting up in a daze, Liu Chengyue felt a little dizzy, so she sat on the bed and tried to take a break, but she didn't think about it, and her back was already pressed up by herself.

Liu Chengyue, who was startled, heard the familiar laughter in her ears, and the small universe broke out immediately. Without saying a word, he lifted the quilt and gave Jiang Lie a fat beating. For this kind of person who is scary after getting out of bed Zha Gong couldn't be too kind, he should be ruthless!That's right!

Jiang Lie didn't expect to scare people, so he coaxed him for a long time after being beaten honestly, and promised to take him to eat minced meat bean curd and big soup dumplings, Liu Chengyue was not so angry.

After eating a delicious breakfast, the sun was still still there, so the two walked slowly along the long street.

Walking past a teahouse, the two heard a voice coming from upstairs, because the teahouse was not well built, and the speaker's voice was quite loud, so Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie who passed by downstairs did not miss that person's words listened carefully.

Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie stopped at the same time, both of them frowned, Liu Chengyue glanced at Jiang Lie, Jiang Lie didn't say anything, and didn't continue to go shopping, he dragged people away to the teahouse.

Asked for a private room, after Xiao Er brought tea and snacks, Liu Chengyue listened to the voices of the tea guests outside, and said: "Isn't Wangyue Tower lake center painting boat only for your sons? It sounds like it means as long as you want to go Can you go if you pay one or two entrance fees?"

Jiang Lie shook his head, "Although we have found Mo Ziyu's whereabouts, and know that he has seen the three Da Yue people and Liu Min, but in order not to startle the enemy, the dark guards can only keep an eye on the outside, and they will not say anything. unknown."

"But judging from their previous actions, they definitely don't want to make this a big deal, let alone expose themselves." Liu Chengyue said, "But now if you really want to go, you can go, and those who really want to go will not pay a tael of silver." Difficult, but there will be many more people going to the center of the lake to paint boats, and if something happens, the Moon Tower may not be able to keep it, what exactly do they want to do?"

Jiang Lie didn't speak any more, and listened carefully to the tea guests outside talking with great interest about the banquet of the Moon Lake Painting Boat tomorrow night.

The Lakeside Painting Boat in Wangyue Tower has always been a good place for rich and noble sons to have fun. Ordinary people dare not even think about it. I dare not even think about it, after all, how can it be less expensive in a place where rich children gather?

"Then if you say that, doesn't it mean that big guys can go? You should know that going to a flower house usually costs more than one tael of silver!"

"If you want me to tell you, it's not like cheating the big guy, and then a random girl will ask for dozens of taels of silver, right? Wouldn't it be bankrupt if you want another plate of dim sum and two pots of tea?!"

"Hey, this brother has a good idea! It really only costs one or two taels of silver. As long as you get on the boat, whether it's tea, snacks, or beauties, you won't be charged any more money!"

"Is the boss of Mochizuki Lou not good at thinking or something? Don't give up the opportunity to make money, it's just cheap, big guy?!"

"You can't say that. It's not that the boss of Wangyuelou is not smart enough, but someone has hired Wangyuelou. Please have fun!"

"And such a good thing?!"

"Why not?! I personally heard the news from the little girl in Wangyue Tower. Believe it or not, anyway, I will definitely go tomorrow night."

"Then let's go, anyway, if you want money then come down."

"Go! Go! Go!"

……

After getting off the teahouse, the two continued to walk along the street. No one spoke, and both of them walked forward in silence.

Walking out of the street, there is an empty space in front of my eyes. It is the big lake where I saw the moon-watching boat that day.

Because the sun had risen and the weather was getting hotter, there were fewer people on the street. There were only a few small boats wandering on the lake, and a few huge painting boats were moored on the shore, and they were guarded by special personnel to prevent curious people from going up.

One of them was the one that Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie saw that day, while the other ships were somewhat different in size, but they were also decorated very gorgeously, and at first glance they were not accessible to ordinary people.

Seeing Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie standing at the intersection for a long time, the people guarding the boat by the lake looked at them with an unfriendly expression, and almost came forward to drive them away.

Turning around and leaving the intersection, the two returned to the courtyard and told what they had heard in the teahouse.

"But what is their purpose for doing this? No matter how you look at it, it's not their style." Wen Ting said with a frown.

Mu Xing nodded, "This is indeed somewhat contrary to what they did before."

Everyone didn't say a word, they didn't understand what those Dayue people and Liu Min wanted to do, or what Mo Ziyu wanted to do.

After a while, Luo Qianlou hesitated, "What if we look at their actions before and after?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Lie asked.

"First of all, Wangyuelou Huxin Huafang has been doing a secret business of buying and selling hemp tablets. Now they allow more people, even those from poor families, to go. What if these people will end up like those rich children after boarding the painting boat? ?” Luo Qianlou said.

Liu Chengyue followed his words and said, "More people are addicted, so go to Wangyue Tower to buy hemp tablets, and maybe there will not be enough of them in the end, and the hemp tablets are hard to buy?"

Luo Qianlou nodded, "But if they do this, everything they did before will be exposed more easily. Although they can get more money in a short period of time, it will be easier to be discovered." By then, people in Yangzhou City will be addicted to opiates, Even in other situations, what those people did before is useless, and it is almost impossible to pick themselves out.

"What if they are leaving Yangzhou City soon?" Gu Yueru said.

Everyone paused, yes, what if they were about to leave Yangzhou City soon?If they were leaving Yangzhou City in a few days, it would make sense for them to make a fortune at the cost of exposure.

"But we already know that Mo Ziyu is with them, so if Mo Ziyu wants to make further moves in the future, money is indispensable. Isn't it better to slowly expand his influence in Yangzhou City? Although this time can make a lot of money, But it’s definitely not as good as the long-term development.” Wen Ting questioned.

Everyone was silent again. Now everyone knows what Mo Ziyu is thinking. It is indeed the case. The long-term development will definitely get more money, and he will definitely need a steady stream of money if he wants to raise soldiers in the future. Very unreasonable.

Just when I felt that the will was dark and the flowers were bright, things became complicated and difficult to understand again.

Resuming the update, today I saw that the favorites were dropped again, and there were only a few that were dropped again, so sad [crying face]
