Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing the continuous information sent by the shadow guards, Chu Xin's inner anger continued to rise.

She never thought that such a shocking thing could happen in Luodu, which she always thought was impregnable and impenetrable.

Those gangsters dared to break into Jingzhao Mansion in broad daylight today and kill people to vent their anger. Will they dare to storm their own palace one day?

If it weren't for the information, Yin Zhenpei of the Jingzhao Prefecture organized his subordinates to kill the enemy bravely, regardless of life and death, when the gangsters attacked the government office. He was seriously injured and fell into a coma. It would have been impossible for him to kill the Nine Clans himself.

He is a majestic governor of Jingzhao Mansion, but he can't manage one-third of an acre of land in Luodu. What use does he have for such a waste?

Thinking of this, Chu Xin's eyes narrowed.

No, the blame for this incident should not be solely on Zhen Pei. Those officials in charge of Kyoto's security should all deserve to die. They are all a bunch of deadbeats.

Thinking of this, Chu Xin immediately issued an order to severely reprimand all officials related to Kyoto's defense and fine them three months' salary.

He also ordered all the generals of the Royal Forest Army who were in charge of patrolling the streets to be thirty, and kept all the patrol officers for inspection.

Not only that, Chu Xin also directly ordered these people to find out what happened today within half a month.

If there is no result within half a month, then they can all take their relatives and go to Siberia to dig potatoes.

When the decree was issued, the whole city of Luoyang instantly became rumbled with wind and cranes, every vegetation was covered with soldiers, and people were in panic.

The officers of Jingzhao Mansion and the patrolling Wuhou, as well as the Imperial Forest Army who had just been dispatched to the city by Chu Xin to maintain public security, acted like crazy and began to go from house to house, searching for any suspicious persons inch by inch.

Chu Mo walked around the street with two secret guards. Not long after returning to the inn, before Lin Wan could send Shang Gongzheng to him, a group of imperial guards came to check their identity.

When they saw that Chu Mo was not a native of Luoyang, but had just migrated from the Tang Dynasty, without saying a word, they came up and kidnapped him.

Even if it was recognized that Chu Mo's identity, household registration, and roadmap were all issued directly by the Ministry of Household Affairs, there was no mercy at all.

Seeing that he was about to be imprisoned again, Chu Mo had no choice but to move out of the General's Mansion, hoping that the other party would restrain himself.

Hearing that Chu Mo was a distinguished guest of the General's Mansion, the team of imperial guards who checked the identity did become a little looser and did not kidnap Chu Mo on the spot.

But he had no intention of letting him go. After leaving a team of people to surround the courtyard where Chu Mo rented, someone really went to the General's Mansion to seek confirmation.

When Lin Wan heard that someone came to verify Chu Mo's identity, she just nodded and asked the housekeeper to come forward and send them all away.

After learning that Chu Mo was indeed a guest of the General's Mansion, the Imperial Forest Army retreated decisively.

Just when Chu Mo thought the trouble was over, a large group of men in black wearing mysterious clothes, embroidered with gold patterns, and masks suddenly rushed in from the door.

The moment they saw this group of people, several secret guards immediately became vigilant. Just as they were about to resist, they saw a man in black who looked like a leader taking out a golden token engraved with dragon patterns from his arms and pointing it at them. Chu Mo and others shouted:

"The Shadow Guards are doing their job. How dare you resist? Why don't you just surrender?"

When he heard that the other party was actually Chu Xin's most loyal lackey, the Shadow Guard, Chu Mo's heart skipped a beat and he secretly said something bad.

He immediately stopped several secret guards who wanted to take action, and then stepped forward with an apologetic smile:

"My lords, don't you know what the common people have done? Why bother to come here?"

The leader of the shadow guards glanced at Chu Mo coldly, not taking him seriously at all, but he focused on the secret guards, always vigilant:

"Who are they to you? Don't you want to leave with us?"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of being polite at all, Chu Mo immediately put away his smile, stared at the little boss and said:

"Do you know that I am a distinguished guest of the General's Mansion? Aren't you afraid that the General will blame you if you attack me?"

When the little boss saw that Chu Mo didn't answer the question, he immediately smiled, pointed at his robe and said:

"We Shadow Guards are only responsible to Her Majesty the Empress. As for being a general who is not a general, it has nothing to do with us."

After saying that, he slowly drew out the weapon from his waist.

With his move, the shadow guards around him immediately imitated the same, drew their weapons, and surrounded Chu Mo and the others.

Chu Mo took a cursory glance and found that, not counting those outside the house, there were eight shadow guards who entered the house. As most of the secret guards under him were taken away by Chu Ruowan, there were only four of them around him now.

If a conflict breaks out between the two sides and they fight, not to mention the difference in numbers, even if they have their own drag on their side, their hands will definitely be tied up and they will definitely not belong to their opponents.

Besides, swords have no eyes. If someone accidentally hurts you during a fight, then who can you go to and cry to?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, cupped his hands towards the little boss and said:

"I wonder if you can tell me what crime we have committed, so that we can understand clearly."

The little boss tilted his head and glanced sideways at Chu Mo, then sneered twice:

"I don't know what crime you committed, I just feel like there's something wrong with you."

"Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, you should come with us first, and then the truth will come to light."

Hearing this, Chu Mo's expression changed drastically, and he understood that the other party's move was probably to avenge a private vendetta, or in other words, it was simply to make him unhappy.

What's more, it's because Lin Wan is unhappy and wants to fix things.

This is an unreasonable disaster for me.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward, took out a wad of banknotes from his sleeve pocket, and whispered:

"My lord, what you mean is not disrespectful. You are new here and don't understand the rules. If you offend the lord, please forgive me."

After saying that, he secretly put the banknote into the little boss's hand.

However, what Chu Mo never expected was that after the little boss took the banknote from Chu Mo's hand, he did not put it in his arms, but just held it in his hand openly, and then raised it.

"Are you planning to bribe me? Brothers, you have seen this with your own eyes. This is not a deliberate frame-up on my part."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the shadow guards all around.

"Yes, captain, this guy is dishonest. He actually dared to openly bribe you in front of everyone. We all saw it with our own eyes."

The shadow guards around him all started to agree.

"Boy, now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what else can you say?"

The little boss shook the banknote in his hand with a half-smile and looked at Chu Mo with a mocking look.

Chu Mo felt like I was in trouble.

What the hell, have you run into fishing law enforcement?

Or is it that the other party did it on purpose and just wanted to kill himself?
