Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Just when Chu Mo was stunned, Chu Ruowan on the side saw that the two parties seemed to be about to break up, so she immediately stood up, slightly cupped her hands towards the village chief and said:

"Village Chief Liu, we are new here and don't understand the rules. Please forgive me."

Seeing that the person speaking was a girl with beautiful features, Village Chief Liu's beard and eyebrows curled up, and then he stared at Chu Ruowan with a squinting look and said:

"Girl, it's because you are new here, so I, the village chief, don't kill you just because of a few words."

"Now that I have informed you of the rules, it's time for you to show your stance on what to do next."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Mo provocatively.

Chu Mo knew that the other party's words were directed at him.

He has figured it out now.

In this Zhou Dynasty, village chiefs and the like should be similar to local emperors who are like local managers.

Moreover, this local emperor is not self-proclaimed, he should have the support of the imperial court.

What he just couldn't figure out was how could Chu Xin allow such a thing to happen based on her desire for control?

But judging from the appearance of the captain just now, it was probably just a normal operation.

Seeing that Chu Mo was still silent, Chu Ruowan on the side had no choice but to speak again:

"Village Chief, our family migrated here from the Tang Dynasty. We went through many hardships on the way and encountered several military disasters. Therefore, we don't have much on our bodies."

"And we are all exhausted from this journey, and the luggage we carry is complicated. I would like to ask Village Chief Liu to consider that our trek is not easy and give us some time to sort out the supplies."

"After tomorrow, after we count the supplies, we will definitely donate half of the supplies with both hands. I wonder what Village Chief Liu wants?"

Village Chief Liu originally wanted to anger Chu Mo and let him continue to speak to intensify the conflict between the two parties.

But he didn't expect Chu Ruowan to take the initiative to speak, wanting to resolve the conflict between the two parties, and she suddenly hesitated.

However, when he saw the captain on the side giving him encouraging looks, the hesitation in his heart disappeared instantly.

Straightening his back, Village Chief Liu walked up to Chu Ruowan with an extremely arrogant step, and snorted coldly:

"Girl, I know it's not easy for you, but the rules are the rules. Unless Her Majesty the Empress comes in person today, no one can change the rules for entering the village."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

With a shout, the militiamen who were standing on both sides in neat rows immediately surrounded him.

The soldiers on the wall immediately raised their firecrackers and aimed at Chu Mo and his party.

Seeing this situation, Chu Ruowan's eyes flashed coldly, and she clenched her fists, looking ready to go.

How could she not see that Chief Liu and the captain who escorted her were on the same team? They wanted to exploit her group openly.

When the hundreds of soldiers behind him saw this, they immediately surrounded him with cheers and formed a formation, ready to give it a try.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

Seeing the tension between the two sides, the captain on the side shouted coldly to Chu Ruowan.

"How is that possible, sir? My people just saw the wind here and came around to protect me from the wind."

At this moment, Chu Mo, who had been silent, spoke.

Looking at the two groups of people who were at war with each other, and looking at the captain who was obviously acting sideways, Chu Mo sneered.

He directly took out all the banknotes on his body, and then in front of everyone, he took the fire folder and lit it directly.

With everyone stunned, Chu Mo slowly said:

"There is a custom in our hometown that when you settle in a new place, before entering the village, you must first worship the local cow, ghost and snake gods."

"You dare, boy, stop it!"

Seeing Chu Mo actually lighting all the banknotes on fire in front of him, Village Chief Liu became anxious and immediately pounced on him. .

In the eyes of Village Chief Liu, these banknotes are already in his pocket. If the other party burns them, he is burning his own money.

It's like the other party is eating his flesh and drinking his blood.

Seeing Village Chief Liu rushing toward him, a secret guard immediately stepped forward and blocked the opponent's way.

Just when he was about to get angry, Chu Mo's careless words came to his ears again:

"Village Chief Liu, we haven't entered the village yet, and we are not from your Willow Village yet. Why, you still have to control me when I handle some personal belongings?"

After saying that, he vigorously shook the burning banknote in his hand, looked at the captain who was also frowning but did not take half a step forward and asked:

"My lord, if I remember correctly, you haven't even finished the handover of the rest of us, have you?"

"We should be on the way to migrate now. Why, I feel it's cold here. I want to light a fire to warm my body. Do you want to stop me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the banknotes in Chu Mo's hand were almost burned.

He threw the remaining banknotes on the ground, fiddled with them a few times with his feet to let them burn more thoroughly, then looked at the captain with a mocking look and continued:

"Come on, come on, continue. If you have any other rules, feel free to mention them before the handover is completed."

The captain took a deep look at Chu Mo and snorted coldly:

"The rules are all drawn up by the local village chiefs themselves. As long as they do not violate the laws of the imperial court, you must abide by them."

"Yes, when you enter our Willow Village, you must obey our arrangements in everything."

Village Chief Liu on the side was so heartbroken that he was bleeding. When he saw Chu Mo talking about the rules, he roared ferociously.

"Oh, really, then I wonder who appointed the village chief? What is the process required to become a village chief?"

Chu Mo didn't pay any attention to the overt and covert threats from the two of them.

After the previous test and the conversation with the two of them, Chu Mo finally saw some clues.

That is, these people are just pretending to be powerful because of the righteousness of the imperial court.

As long as what you do does not exceed the regulations of the court law, the other party will not dare to do anything to you.

Don't look at the majesty of the hundreds of militiamen behind them, as well as the dozens of fire gunmen on the city wall who are on standby at any time.

But if the other party has no reasonable reason or excuse, he will not dare to do it to himself.

Even the captain, as long as he didn't break the law, had nothing to do with him.

It can be seen from this that the laws enacted by Dazhou seem to be loose, but in fact they are extremely ruthless, otherwise they will definitely not be able to deter these young people.

It was precisely because he discovered this through testing that Chu Mo dared not to give the two of them any face.

After all, as long as the other party didn't dare to use the court's methods to kill him openly, Chu Mo believed that the one who would be killed in the end would be Village Chief Liu.
