Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"I always remember your brother who abandoned me."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Chu Xin wiped the corners of her eyes again and shed two lines of hot tears.

Chu Mo chuckled, pointed at Chu Xin and said: "You said you still remember me, you said I took away all the money in the family? You said I abandoned you and came to Chang'an City to curry favor with my fiancée?"

"Then let me ask you, how much money did I bring with me when I left Luoyang? Did you ask me to come to Chang'an? Was it your intention that I came to find my fiancée?"

Chu Xin originally thought that Chu Mo didn't remember anything and she could throw dirty water on him at will, but she didn't expect that Chu Mo still knew something.

His face immediately darkened and he said: "Don't you know how much money you took away? You came to Chang'an voluntarily. What's more, you yourself agreed and came to Yang Hongyu to break off the engagement."

As soon as the word "break off the engagement" came out, people started talking about it.

Chu Xin also realized at this moment that she had said the wrong thing, her face turned pale immediately, and just when she was about to speak,

But Chu Mo was the first to say: "When I came to Luoyang, I didn't bring a single coin with me, but only 10 whole-grain pancakes. I dug wild vegetables and drank mountain spring water every day."

"Occasionally I meet a kind person on the road who can give me a bite of food. If I hadn't met Mr. Li, I don't know if I would have made it to Chang'an alive. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Duke Wei's Mansion for confirmation."

After saying that, Chu Mo bowed to everyone around him and continued: "When my family was in trouble and my parents passed away, before I could get over the grief, my younger sister sold off the fertile land in the family privately, and then started working as a merchant. I couldn't help it. Scientific examination, no way to become an official;"

"And because the proceeds from the sale of farmland were given to my sister alone, I understand that as a daughter, it is not easy for her to survive in this world, so I don't care."

"Unexpectedly, this white-eyed wolf not only didn't know how to be grateful, but also defrauded me of the ancient recipes passed down from my family. Not only did he make various cosmetics and perfumes without telling me, but he also violated the ancestral precepts and secretly brewed wine."

"After I heard about this, I had a big quarrel with her. Finally, because I felt sorry for her young age and ignorance, I agreed to let her come to Chang'an and wanted to break off the marriage with my weak fiancée. From then on, the two brothers and sisters depended on each other and took care of her. For life.”

"Unexpectedly, as soon as I left, this poisonous woman started to cultivate her reputation at home, making the house restless. If some of my best friends hadn't sent someone to inform me, I would still be kept in the dark until now. .”

"The reason why I took refuge with my wife's family was because I had no choice but to do it."

After hearing what Chu Mo said, people around him began to criticize Chu Xin.

Chu Xin's eyes widened at this time and she stared at Chu Mo.

She didn't expect that this rogue would dare to tell lies in front of so many people.

Just when she was about to ask someone to teach this damn bastard a lesson, a voice rang out from the crowd:

"Brother, everything requires evidence. It doesn't mean you just open your mouth and say whatever you want."

Among the crowd, a handsome boy about ten years old walked out.

Chu Mo frowned. If these words came out of Chu Xin's mouth, people around him would definitely think it was quibbling.

But to say it from the mouth of a bystander was to express injustice for Chu Xin.

This is Chu Xin's territory. She doesn't even have a single weapon. If she gives a bad answer, she will probably be beaten up and thrown into the street.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo rolled his eyes. Isn't it just deceiving people? I'm good at it.

So he said calmly: "You must be one of my sister's faces, right? Why are you so rude? You just don't show courtesy when you see me, but you still want to distort the truth?"

"If you want evidence, you can. All my close friends in Luoyang City can testify for me. If you don't say anything else, just ask my roommate when she got rich and when I left home. You will know what I am saying. True or false.”

"Then tell me specifically, when and how your sister got rich, and when did you leave home."

A voice came from the crowd again.

Chu Mo searched for it, but couldn't find the person who came out, so he cupped his hands and said, "What the brother asked just now is very true."

"My sister-in-law started selling her property last year, and after a year of preparation, she made her fortune at the beginning of this year."

"As for how to make a fortune, everyone can know it as long as they are not blind, and I only came to Chang'an from Luoyang two months ago, and I have the road to prove it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him started talking again.

Chu Xin saw that the situation she had just moved back was once again muddied by Chu Mo. She immediately clenched her fists and wanted to punch Chu Mo a few times.

Just when she couldn't suppress her anger, a hand was put on her shoulder.

Chu Xin noticed something unusual and hurriedly turned her head, only to see Yang Hongqian shaking his head gently at her.

Seeing Yang Hongqian, Chu Xin's anger was extinguished instantly. She gave Chu Mo a fierce look and said:

"You're a scoundrel and you're full of lies. If I hadn't been capable and followed you, I would have starved to death."

"Oh, so you just sold your property and tricked me out because I was incompetent?"

Chu Mo said quietly.

"You...you are talking nonsense."

Chu Xin was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Seeing Chu Xin's appearance, the surrounding audience began to support Chu Mo and glared at Chu Xin.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a little girl and there were several strong men guarding her, those grumpy aunties might have gone up to teach this unruly little lady a lesson.

Just when Chu Mo thought he was sure of winning, the young man who spoke before spoke again: "Since Mr. Chu said that your sister was trying to seize the family property, why didn't you just file a lawsuit with the government? Let the government make the decision for you? Could it be that you have something evil in your heart?" Don’t you dare to let people investigate this matter thoroughly?”

Chu Mo looked at the young man who was speaking and really wanted to spit the Three-Character Sutra on his face.

But I saw that there were several guards around the other party, and they seemed not to be trifled with.

Forget it, we are all seven-foot-tall men and don’t bother to bully a naughty kid.

With a dry cough, Chu Mo said coldly: "Now I rely on my wife for support, so how can I have the spare money to go to court? Could it be that this young man wants to uphold justice and support Chu with a hundred and eighty taels?"

Li Chengqian heard that Chu Mo wanted to file a lawsuit for one hundred and eighty taels. Although he knew little about the prices outside, he also understood that Chu Mo was obviously taking the opportunity to blackmail.

He immediately smiled contemptuously and said: "What, are you trying to blackmail me? As far as I know, to go to the yamen to file a lawsuit, you only need to hire someone to copy a complaint, which only costs a few copper coins."
