Biography of Emperor Mo

"Murder!"

In the morning, an inexplicable shout from the Dunhuang Grass Market stunned the people who were trading.

What followed was the sound of crying, cursing, and beating, one after another.A group of ruffian-looking gangsters, and a group of thieves with flickering eyes and raised mouth corners, formed a force of murder and robbery, and they were sweeping the grass market at the fastest speed.

In an instant, the whole of Dunhuang was in chaos.

During the robbery process, those who resisted were killed ruthlessly, and some who had already taken out the goods and money were still not spared.And the servants in the grass market have long been frightened to the point of shit, have they ever seen such a scene?For them, the grass market is just a time for fooling around, and they can get some extra money from time to time.

"Re-return, don't you hurry up and report the letter? Find, find, find Mr. Yuan!" The thin poor man was already stuttering in fright, which made people send the letter.In the past year, Lu Yingmo, who had been heavily used by the monarch, was unable to do his own thing, so he handed over the power of Captain Caoshi to Yuan Song.Therefore, the first person in charge of Cao Shiwei is now Yuan Song.Even though there was a big difference in rank, Master Slender Cha had met Yuan Song a few times, and at this time he had no other choice but to report to Yuan Song.

After receiving the news, Yuan Song rushed to the scene immediately, but he had no experience in dealing with major events after all, so he could only call Lu Yingmo for help.

Soon, Lu Yingmo came.He knew that the riot must be stopped immediately, but because he did not have any troops in his hands, he did not have the ability to stop the riot.As a prince without an army, he can mobilize only a few poor men in Caoshi. This is where Lu Yingmo's shortcoming in controlling power lies.He could only ask the officials under him to stop the riot, but it still failed to achieve any effect.

Some time after the two arrived in Caoshi, the imperial guards finally arrived.This shows that the incident has alarmed Lu Guang, and the two feel bad.

"The Guards are here!"

The leading hooligan rang out, and the rest of them fled in a panic like a cat seeing a mouse without looking back.Only a very small number of hooligans were beheaded and captured on the spot because of greed for money or other reasons.

When the imperial guards had almost driven and captured that group of people, the sloppy man at the head saw Lu Yingmo's appearance, and actually went back and forth, with the corner of his mouth raised to an astonishing angle!

He rushed towards Lu Yingmo desperately, wanting to take Lu Yingmo's life.But after all, he is not a very powerful character. After a few rounds of tricks, his throat was blocked by Lu Yingmo's sword, and Lu Yingmo's own left forearm was cut by the villain.

"Ying Mo, your hand is injured." Yuan Song, who was accompanying him, said with concern.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Yingmo heard the words, he raised his left forearm to the front of his line of sight in a strange way, looked at the blood flowing from the horrific wound on that forearm, and smiled strangely.

He said foolishly: "This place, King Xiang assassinated me before, and it hurt me once. Unexpectedly, today it was the crown prince who assassinated me, and it hurt me again..."

Seeing his strange reaction, the servants dared not say any more.

Only Yuan Song said, "Is it in the way?"

"Small injuries are fine. My current injuries are nothing compared to the current situation in Caoshi." Lu Yingmo said with a sigh.

At this moment, a rushing official hurriedly asked, "How could such a thing happen suddenly?"

"I don't know. It happened suddenly. The person who came here seems to know the market environment very well, and even the timing of the Imperial Guard's arrival was very accurate. I am afraid that the prince knew that King Ye had no soldiers, so he deliberately did it to target our weakness." Yuan Song frowned and said.

"Can the market be restored? So many people have died! The key is that there are still foreign business travelers!" the official lamented.

"Let's think about our own way out first!" Yuan Song said.

The attack on the grass market subsided, and the streets were devastated and stained with blood.People are cleaning the streets and mourning the dead.Some relatives who died in the attack cried even more.

The attack not only brought irreparable pain to these ordinary people, it turned out that many Chinese and foreign businessmen who were not in Caoshi were ransacked at the same time.

Many local businessmen and businessmen from the Western Regions were killed.This day became the darkest day in the business history of Great Liang.

Those thieves are mobs, and they know better than anyone else how much weight they have.If you usually see an errand, you will probably nod and bow your head. They would not dare to do the murder with a knife if they had ten guts.And today, a group of thieves dared to do such an exaggerated thing in broad daylight, which was really unprecedented.

They set the timing extremely accurately, and took advantage of the two servants to leave before launching an action, and quickly withdrew when the imperial guards arrived.Such a short period of time has actually achieved such a large-scale destruction!In the grass market, the main business vendors and customers were killed in this incident, which shows that they are very familiar with the situation and have grasped key intelligence information.

After the incident, a large number of businessmen gathered to complain.Both native and foreign.They asked the court to give an explanation and give them a stable market, otherwise, even if there are unique conditions here, they will stay away from here.

The court did not respond to their demands.

On the third day, a large number of Silk Road merchants began to move back, and local merchants also began to migrate with their families.Most of the local merchants moved to other commercial centers, such as Chang'an and Nanjing, which indirectly caused the imperial court's tax revenue to be sent to the feudal towns.This incident has dealt a huge blow to them.No matter how much wealth a person has, it is not so important in front of life.After all, life is everything.

They no longer trust the law and order in Dunhuang.

Although it was just a few small actions, it was like water breaking through a dike, causing the country's economy to decline rapidly, the market to be turbulent, and people's hearts to be unstable.

"Uncle!" Lu Yingzhuan excitedly called Wang Kuang "Uncle", "This time, we really won a big victory!"

"Zhuan'er, really well done!" Wang Kuang called Lu Ying Zhuan "Zhuan'er" in a rare way.After speaking, he stroked his hair affectionately.

Lu Yingzhuan couldn't help laughing helplessly, "What are you talking about. This is all uncle's plan."

Lu Guang was a suspicious and fair emperor.According to Lu Guang's nature, someone must be responsible for such a thing.At this juncture, even the person he favors will be punished, without exception.

Several thieves who were caught died due to various reasons during the interrogation process, and did not hand over any confessions.Since then, Cao Shiwei's people have lost even their last chance to survive.

In the end, Lu Guang ordered that all of Lu Yingmo's official positions be abolished: Wujun officer, Caoshi lieutenant, municipal office order, and minister of the Ministry of officials.In addition, all those involved in the grass market attack were held accountable, and local officials in Dunhuang were almost shuffled.And the most miserable thing is Cao Shiwei's people, Lu Guang actually ordered them all to be executed!

This was something Lu Yingmo never thought of at the time.How could he have thought that his father would actually execute Yuan Song!
