alpha female in ancient times

Yuan sent back to the house, Mo Jia thought about it and went to the brush and ink shop to look for Tang Jinzhao, but he didn't expect to see a familiar figure not far away.

Tang Jinzhao walked slowly towards this side with a bruise on his face.

"What's going on with you?" Mo Jia raised his jaw and asked.

Silently lowering his eyes, Tang Jinzhao explained: "The Di people came to smash the store, and then the people from the government came."

After listening to his explanation, Mo Jia said "Oh" lightly, without asking further, "Let's go", turned around and walked forward.

Back home, Mo Jia and Tang Jinzhao seemed to have a tacit understanding about Tang Jinzhao's injury and did not mention it.

Even Xiao Qige didn't talk too much under Sun's instruction.

In recent years, the imperial court has become more and more inactive, and has responded weakly to the provocations of the Di people, and the Di people have become more and more presumptuous.

Everyone thought that the appearance of Di Ren's small group would be a sign, followed by large-scale looting and killing, but after half a month, it seemed that the riot that day was just a farce.

Just as Mrs. Sun muttered: "Fortunately, it has passed, otherwise I don't know how to live this year." In this way, Dayu's people didn't take Di Ren's attack seriously.

But Mo Jia was just the opposite. When he was attacked by some Di people and beheaded them ruthlessly, he found that these people were the same group he met on the hill that day.

There were not many of them, and it didn't seem like they were raging on a large scale. According to Mo Jia's observation, they should be looking for something just like the situation on the hill at that time.

As for what it was, Mo Jia had a voice in his heart, thinking that it might have something to do with him.

But as he thought, the team was indeed looking for something, but this time Beidi only sent a small team to investigate the situation.

They purposely smashed several pawnshops, searched inside, and even stole some things to cover up.

But Mo Jia didn't know about all this.He only vaguely felt that this matter would definitely not end here.

Tang Jinzhao's body recovered within a few days.After the break, he started the teaching task again, and even took over the fact that Mrs. Sun went to deliver lunch to Qi Yuan at noon.

Qi Yuan didn't want him to show his face at first, so he tried to persuade him, but Tang Jinzhao insisted on this, so he couldn't say any more.

Chapter 10

Mo Jia was inexplicable to Tang Jinzhao's gloomy eyes which were frequently cast on him in recent days.It was as if he was prey, waiting to be swooped upon.

Perhaps Tang Jinzhao didn't think that his eyes were very explicit, but it was a pity that it was in the eyes of ordinary people.

Apparently, Mo Jia wasn't exactly an ordinary person.

With the arrival of the Di people that day, the price of goods in the border town quickly rose to a strange height.

Perhaps it was because of the raid that caused panic, and everyone was terrified. A large amount of supplies were purchased, resulting in insufficient market reserves, so that in the end, prices were raised a lot.

Mrs. Sun came to look for Mo Jia and wanted to talk to him about buying grain.In the past, the money given each month was enough for the daily expenses of the group of them.But now that prices have risen a lot, these are not enough.

Sun stood at the door hesitantly, waiting for Mo Jia to come out of the room after class.

Subconsciously, she glanced at Tang Jinzhao, who had not come out with him, and said with difficulty under Mo Jia's beckoning eyes: "Boss, the price of food has risen recently."

Although the time we spent together in the yard was not short, Mrs. Sun was no longer as shy and hesitant when facing strangers as before.But when it comes to money, she still can't help feeling embarrassed.

Mo Jia was stunned for a moment, he had heard about the situation outside, but before he had time to think about it, he was distracted by other things and forgot about it.

"How much?" Mo Jia said while taking out silver from his pocket, and when he got a piece of silver, he seemed to think of something, and took out a whole ingot from his pocket, and handed it to her, saying: "Buy more grain, rice noodles, Prepare some coarse grains."

"Oh, good." Mrs. Sun grabbed the heavy silver ingot in her hand, and went out to buy grain that afternoon according to Mo Jia's instructions.

Mo Jia waited for her to leave, and followed her out.

Tang Jinzhao was in the room, but he could hear what the two said clearly.After packing up the equipment, he decided to take the opportunity of going out at noon to explain the matter.

When Mo Jia came back, before he opened the door to enter the hospital, he felt that there were many people standing on the other side of the door.

He hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and entered.He saw several big men in official uniforms and armed with big knives coming out of the room where he lived.

On the side, Mrs. Sun was so frightened that her face paled. She tightly protected Qi Ge in her arms, standing there trembling, while Tang Jinzhao was tied behind his back and knelt on the ground.He lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression.

"What's going on?" Mo Jia looked directly at those fierce yamen servants and asked calmly.

"Receive the report, you are hiding the official criminals and Beidi's forbidden objects!" One of them stepped forward and shouted.

"Oh," Mo Jia glanced at Tang Jinzhao consciously, and took out a piece of paper from his purse as he spoke, and shook it out: "This is the proof of sale, and it was bought from the escort's military service."

Grabbing the paper and seeing the black and white characters, the yamen servant smiled coldly: "Buying and selling officials and slaves is a serious crime, how can you be fooled here?" After finishing speaking, he tore up the paper, stepped on it, and waved to the people behind him: "Come here, tie him up for me, and bring me back to the Yamen together with this official slave!"

"Yes" several people stepped forward according to their words, and stretched out their hands to Mo Jia.

Mo Jia wanted to see what they were going to do, so he didn't resist. He waved away the hand that was trying to tie him, and walked directly to the door: "I'll go with you."

The leading yamen servant stood behind him, watching him step out of the door first, turned his head and shouted impatiently at the few people following him: "I haven't picked him up yet and followed."

He motioned for someone to bring Tang Jinzhao, who was kneeling on the ground, with him, and then stepped out of the yard first.

After they left, Mrs. Sun let go of Qi Ge's mouth, sat down softly on the ground, and muttered with blank eyes: "My boss has been arrested, what should I do, what should I do."

With red eyes, Qi Ge stomped his feet fiercely, and shouted at Mrs. Sun: "Mother, let's go find Big Brother, go find Big Brother and come back!"

"Look for Eldest Brother," Sun returned to his senses when Qi Ge yelled, and stared at him closely: "Yes, let's go find Eldest Young Master." Then he took Qi Ge, locked the door in a panic, and faced west Street ran.

Mo Jia was taken to the government office. Unlike the last time he applied for household registration, he walked through the corner gate. This time he entered from the front and went directly to the main hall.

At the head sat a middle-aged man with long beard and brown hair.

On one side of the lower head sat a man who was also slightly older with sharp eyes, looking towards Mo Jia, while a young man in brocade clothes sat on the other side, with extraordinary momentum.He held the teacup in his hand and kept his eyes on the lid, as if he was more interested in the contents of the cup.

"Don't kneel down yet." The master who was standing beside the superior man, saw Tang Jinzhao obediently kneeling in the middle of the main hall, and Mo Jia stood there abruptly, and purposely yelled angrily.

"Why do you kneel?" Mo Jia didn't care about Dayu's tricks, and stood there upright, asking back.

"Troublemaker, this is the government office. When you see your lord, hurry up and kneel down!" The master was reprimanded, and his face was not very good-looking.

"So what about the government office. I haven't committed a crime, and I'm not a troublemaker, so I seem guilty when I kneel down," Mo Jia said without changing his expression.

"You you you..." His face turned pale with anger, the master pointed at Mo Jia.

A crisp knocking sound broke the tense atmosphere.

The person at the top looked carefully at the man in brocade, straightened his expression, patted the wood on the table, and introduced the topic: "Did you buy this official slave?"

"It used to be, but it's not anymore." Mo Jia shrugged and replied in a rascally way.

"Yes, yes, no, no, what was originally, is not now." The superior man glared angrily, and the suppressed anger was ignited.

"It was true that I bought it from the military escort, but you tore up the documents, so how can you prove that I bought this person?" Mo Jia clasped his hands and smiled.

"You, you... come here, come for me." The leader was so angry that he was punished, but before the yamen servant could walk out, the middle-aged man stood up directly, saluted and said, "My lord, calm down."

The person above did not dare to accept the gift, but resisted not getting up, covered his lips and coughed a few times, waved his hands to make those people retreat again, and said in a respectful tone, "Sir, do you have anything to say?"

"The old man has something to say," he said, accepting the gift, turned slightly to Mo Jia's side, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Since the suspect said that the person was bought from the hands of the military service, but because of the destruction of his identity, he can't count it. But The person was searched from your house, and the crime of hiding an official slave cannot be escaped."

"Okay, how to punish?" Mo Jia smiled indifferently and agreed to accept the punishment.

"Hide official slaves, execute [-] boards of punishment, and send them to the quarry." The master said the verdict aloud, gloating at his misfortune.

"That's fine." Mo Jia didn't care. If today's incident was really just to arrest and sentence him, then why bother so much.

What's more, Tang Jinzhao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and just knelt on the ground silently, as if pleading guilty.

Mo Jia smiled coldly, it seemed that he had attracted the wolf.

Seeing that Mo Jia was not there at all, several people had different thoughts.

The person to be executed stepped forward with a staff, and Mo Jia stepped forward calmly, ready to serve his sentence.

At this time, a boy ran in from the outside, said a few words in Jin Yi's ear, and then the man raised his hand and made a gesture, the next middle-aged man quickly understood, and shouted: "Wait a minute."

Punishment

The servant holding the stick put down the punishment stick in his hand, waited for the person above him to wave it, and then retreated in an orderly manner.

Chapter 11

When everyone retreated, the middle-aged man on the lower side shouted out with a loud voice: "Bring people in." Soon someone brought Qi Yuan in.

Because of his status as a scholar, Qi Yuan didn't have to bow down, so he gave a slight salute and stood on the other side of Mo Jia.

"Do you know him?" The middle-aged man pointed at Qi Yuan and directly
