Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"Oh, old man, you are really here."

Seeing Yang Zhao appear, Chu Mo pretended to be surprised and shouted.

Then he looked at Zhang Chenggui reproachfully and cursed:

"You are so brave that you dare to treat the old man like this. Why don't you hurry up and invite me over?"

Zhang Chenggui smiled and apologized to Chu Mo, then came to Yang Zhao and said:

"Old Master, I've offended you a lot just now. I hope you, sir, have enough courage and don't care about me."

Yang Zhao snorted coldly and did not answer Zhang Chenggui's words. Instead, he came to Chu Mo tremblingly on crutches.

Originally, he thought that with his identity and the fact that Yang Hongling was married to Chu Mo, the other party came here to apologize, and he was still imagining how to manipulate the other party.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Chu Mo, he asked someone to bring him a chair or something and let him sit down.

Without even saying a greeting, the other party was still sitting there upright, looking down at the Yang family members who were squatting together.

"Chu Mo."

Yang Zhao tried to shout.

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chu Mo rolled his eyes:

"Old Master, I am here today mainly for official business. You can call me the Lord of the City, or you can call me the Lord of the County."

Hearing Chu Mo's words, Yang Zhao's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the other party was not coming here to submit, but more like he was here to challenge the enemy.

"Master Chu, I wonder if what you did today would harm your reputation if it were spread?"

Holding back his frustration, Yang Zhao glared at Chu Mo and asked.

"Fame? How much is that worth?"

"Besides, I sit upright, so I'm afraid some people will gossip?"

"In my territory, if anyone dares to say bad things about me, I will usually confiscate their crime tools. I wonder if there is such a person in your Yang family?"

"If there is, then hand it over quickly. It will be dark and windy tonight, so I can help you solve it."

Hearing Chu Mo's words, Yang Zhao's heart sank to the bottom again.

The other party obviously didn't care about reputation and official reputation. He couldn't control the other party morally, and now he was warned by the other party.

What does it mean that it's dark and windy tonight?Isn't the second half of the sentence just a day of murder and arson?

This shows that he is threatening himself.

"Master Chu, now that everything in my Yang family has been taken into your pocket, do you still want to kill them all?"

Finally, Yang Zhao couldn't hold it back anymore and asked what was in his heart.

"Aren't all these things mine? When did they become your Yang family's?"

"I want my own things back and I didn't ask you to settle the interest. That's already done my best. Why, you're still not satisfied?"

Chu Mo looked at Yang Zhao jokingly.

"you..."

Yang Zhao was so angry at Chu Mo that he almost vomited blood again.

He did take things that did not belong to the Yang family, but those things were not returned now, and the Yang family even paid an extremely painful price for it.

"Master Chu, I ordered you not to tell secret words. I just want to ask you, what else do you want?"

In the end, Yang Zhao decided to give in.

"Actually, I've always been easy to talk to. Does the old lady have any misunderstandings about me?"

Chu Mo looked at Yang Zhao with a smile, and then changed the subject:

"However, since you have said this, old lady, if I don't do something, wouldn't it make your conscience uneasy?"

"Well, I don't want to keep fussing. Isn't your Yang family known as a millennium family? It must be a person with a long heritage and a high level of credibility."

"My request is not much. I just want you to open the ancestral hall, and in front of the ancestors of your Yang family, swear an oath to be loyal to me, Chu Mo, forever and ever, and never betray me."

"If you break your oath, then in your Yang family, the men will be slaves and the women will be prostitutes for generations. How do you feel about this?"

Yang Zhao was stunned when he heard Chu Mo's words.

He didn't know what Chu Mo's purpose was.

"Chu Mo, are you telling the truth? If I open the ancestral hall and declare the whole family's allegiance to you, will you let our Yang family go?"

Chu Mo nodded:

"I not only let you Yang family go, I also promise that your family will be prosperous and wealthy, and you will enjoy your old age in peace."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Yang Zhao was instantly tempted.

I don't have many years left to live. Even if I swear allegiance to Chu Mo, with my current body and age, can the other party still let me go into battle to kill the enemy?

As for the descendants of the Yang family, what are they?Is it important to have a hair of your own?

As long as I live a healthy life, how can I care about their life and death?

After looking at the group of ferocious-looking soldiers holding long knives around him, Yang Zhao directly agreed to Chu Mo's request without even hesitating.

"Since Mr. Chu thinks highly of my Yang family, I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful. From now on, everything in our Yang family will be led by you..."

Chu Mo waved his hand and interrupted Yang Zhao's next words:

"I not only want you to open the ancestral hall and swear an oath, but I also want you to swear an oath to the whole world, and also write the names of all the current members of your Yang family on it, and then post it on every city gate on Lingnan Road."

"This..."

Yang Zhao glanced at Chu Mo in surprise. He didn't know what the other party's purpose was.

If you just want to humiliate the Yang family, then there is no need to go to such trouble.

But if the other party didn't want to humiliate the Yang family, then what was the purpose of doing this?

Yang Zhao, who couldn't understand Chu Mo's purpose, did not continue to think deeply and immediately nodded and agreed to this seemingly unreasonable request.

"Since our Yang family has decided to be loyal to you, everything must be done according to your will. I will do whatever you say."

Chu Mo nodded with satisfaction, pursed his lips, and cursed at Zhang Chenggui beside him:

"You are blind. You didn't see the old man standing here for a long time, and you didn't know how to get a stool."

When Zhang Chenggui heard this, he immediately ran over and brought a small stool over himself.

Looking at the stool that Zhang Chenggui "personally" brought for him, Yang Zhao's old face twitched a few times, and finally, with the help of two servants, he slowly squatted down.

Looking up at the two dangling thighs, Yang Zhao only felt a sense of humiliation, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only find a topic to resolve his embarrassment:

"Then, sir, when do you think we should open the ancestral hall? Is this a suitable ceremony?"

Chu Mo looked at Yang Zhao condescendingly, thought for a while and said:

"It's better to hit the sun than to miss it. Let's just set it at noon tomorrow."

"Tomorrow at noon, I will ask all the reputable people in Leizhou City to come and watch. If you need anything by then, I will ask Lao Zhang to help you prepare it."
