Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"Having said that, it is better for Your Highness to be careful. After all, Miss Chu Xin has controlled most of the areas in Henan and Hebei. Now is the time to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time. Miss, she does not want any accidents to happen now."

Hearing Chu Xin's name, a cold light flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.

However, although he concealed it very quickly, he still fell into Cheng Xin's eyes.

"Rongxin, you also know that since my leg was crippled by Chu Mo, my status in the court has gradually become unstable. My brothers are now waiting for the opportunity. .”

"Now that Hou Junji has taken the initiative to serve me, if I turn him away, what will other people think of me? What will my brothers say about me?"

"Although the other party is very ambitious, compared to the whole world, what does a mere reward mean?"

"Besides, although Chu Xin has a magical weapon in her hands, she doesn't seem to have any outstanding military leadership skills."

"Now that Hou Junji has come to serve me, it just fills this vacancy. This is a good thing that comes at a critical time. How can we refuse."

Seeing that he wanted to say something else, Li Chengqian directly covered the other person's mouth with his hand and said:

"You don't need to worry about these things. I will explain it to Chu Xin when I see her."

After saying that, he hugged the other person and walked behind the screen.

At the same time, Cheng Yaojin, who had just left the prince's residence, went directly to the governor's mansion and asked Zhengzhou governor Zhao Zhi to stop the search, give up the arrest of Chu Mo, and open the south city gate to release the merchants who stayed in the city. .

Just as the governor's office sent out the order, Chu Mo and his party, who were hiding in the grocery store, immediately got the news.

"Uncle, the gate of the city is already crowded with people who are preparing to leave the city. According to the news returned by Shopkeeper Yang and others, the inspections in and out of the city are extremely loose. I think now is a good time to leave the city."

Chu Mo glanced at the extremely excited Yang Paifeng and said with a smile:

"Xiao Paifeng is right, I have exactly what I mean."

After saying that, he gestured to Shopkeeper Yang and Sanxizi on the side.

Soon, shopkeeper Yang and Sanxizi prepared a carriage. After loading a few large boxes in the carriage, they rushed towards the south gate.

Since Cheng Yaojin issued the unblocking order, he has been directly guarding the South City Gate and personally observing the merchants coming and going.

Although he got some important clues from Wu Xu and told Li Chengqian that Chu Mo had run away, in his heart, he was still lucky and felt that Chu Mo might still be hiding in the city.

No, as soon as the news was sent out, he met a group of interesting people.

Shopkeeper Yang took Sanxizi and quickly arrived at the city gate according to Chu Mo's arrangement.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, before the queue started, he looked up and saw Cheng Yaojin sitting on the city wall.

Without thinking, shopkeeper Yang immediately told San Xizi and his servants to turn around and leave.

The moment Cheng Yaojin saw Shopkeeper Yang, he immediately became energetic.

It stands to reason that the other party's daughter was robbed by Chu Mo, and he should have been angry, but what happened that day was a bit strange.

Afterwards, Cheng Yaojin originally thought about taking them back to the government office for torture, but the arrival of Li Chengqian made him too busy to care about anything else, so he forgot about it.

I met Shopkeeper Yang again today and saw that their group was packed with bags and bags, and they wanted to run away when they saw me. There must be something fishy among them.

So, without saying a word, Cheng Yaojin directly asked his soldiers to stop Shopkeeper Yang and his party.

"Lao Yang, are you planning to move? I see you have a lot of things to do with your luggage."

Looking at Shopkeeper Yang in front of him, Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Yang saluted Cheng Yaojin with a trembling and submissive look, and then said tremblingly:

"Sir, you also know that misfortunes happened in the little old man's family before. Now that our family is staying in Zhengzhou City, except for thinking about those bad pasts, we have nothing to think about."

"So, the little old man is thinking about moving his family away from here. Maybe in a change of environment, he can forget all his worries."

Cheng Yaojin nodded:

"Lao Yang, you are right. This is indeed a sad place for your family. Maybe moving away from here will be good for your family."

"It's just that you said that your family moved, but why didn't I see your family in the team again?"

"Besides, you are just a merchant, and you have so many possessions. Isn't that too much? Could it be that there is something shameful inside?"

Cheng Yaojin walked around the carriage, and finally cast his eyes on the boxes inside the carriage, and said teasingly.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Shopkeeper Yang was so frightened that he trembled:

"My lord, my family is innocent. All these things are accumulated slowly by our family. Please be careful, sir."

With that said, shopkeeper Yang immediately grabbed Cheng Yaojin's hand and quietly gave him a handful of broken silver.

Feeling the coldness on his hands, Cheng Yaojin opened his palms in surprise, looked at the three broken pieces of silver lying in his palms, and sneered:

"Lao Yang, are you bribing me?"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers around burst into laughter.

Shopkeeper Yang looked at Cheng Yaojin with a pale face and said:

"Sir, the little old man has all his wealth at this time. For the sake of my family's misfortune, please let us live."

With that said, he knelt down to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin put the broken silver in his hand into his arms with disdain, and then shouted to the soldiers around him:

"Open the box, I want to check the contents."

"Sir, please show mercy."

When he heard that the inspection was about to be carried out, shopkeeper Yang was so frightened that he got up from the ground and stood in front of the soldiers.

However, how could he, an old man in his 60s or [-]s, stop those wolf-like soldiers? He was directly carried away from the front of the car by two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right.

Looking at Shopkeeper Yang who looked desperate, Cheng Yaojin's eyes were filled with amusement, and he directly asked the soldiers to open all the boxes in the car.

The first box contained some broken quilts.

The second and third boxes contained clothes and other items.

The fourth bite contained a little rice, flour, grains and oil.

When he reached the last blow, Cheng Yaojin suddenly called to his soldiers.

"The things I want are probably here. In order to respect our Chu County son, my father-in-law has to open the box himself."

With that said, he took a long knife from a soldier and cut off the rope on the box with one stroke.

After throwing the knife back to the soldier, Cheng Yaojin patted the box with a ferocious smile and shouted into it:

"You are not simple, you have actually deceived me before."
