Mo You felt very guilty for having implicated his clan members this time.

But back then, it was also because of him that these tribesmen escaped disaster.

At night, he took some incense and lit it, and everyone in the inn fell asleep. In the northwest in winter, there were no guests in the inn, only members of the Su family and the escorting soldiers.

He took out a bottle of anti-smoking cream and let Su Liufu, Uncle Su Qi and his family smell it. He was now dressed as a gangster with a mask on his face, so he pretended to speak in a cold and hard voice: "Don't talk, wake up your family, and run away quickly. The farther the better, but don't go to places like Jiangnan and Hunan Province. If you are recognized, your days will be over."

He scooped out a bean-sized amount of anti-smoking paste from the bottle and gave it to the two men, who then woke up more tribesmen one by one.

Mo You finally woke up Yao Yun's three children. Seeing that all the tribesmen were awake, Mo You left gracefully, but in fact he was hiding in a poplar tree not far away.

The tribesmen opened the shackles and people came out one after another. It was Uncle Su Qi who came up with the idea to set the entire inn on fire.

The fire was burning, and the light illuminated their faces.

Su Mo's eldest son said, "Seventh Uncle, I...my mother is still in there?"

A woman said sternly: "A prostitute of the Su family, this is a disgrace to all of us. If she hadn't been so audacious as to kill Princess Jiaxing, how could the court have demoted her to a military prostitute? Don't embarrass yourself!"

In the room, Yao Yun was awakened by the pain. Flames fell from above her head and landed right on her. "It's on fire, it's on fire, wake up, it's on fire——"

When the Su family members outside the inn saw someone wake up, they scattered like birds and beasts.

They must escape. If it is too late, they may not be able to escape. They have to drag their whole family with them. The family is the unit, and each family should only take care of itself. Su Mo's eldest son has to escape with his younger brothers and sisters.

If they were caught, their fate would be terrible. As long as they escaped fast enough, they would have no problem protecting themselves.

Mo You didn't care about other tribesmen and followed his three children all the way.

The eldest son ran all the way with his younger brothers and sisters, not knowing whether they were trying to find the direction or just trying their luck. The three of them did not dare to take the main road or the small road. If the escorting soldiers reported to the local county government, they would easily be caught.

When Yao Yun woke up, she could only drag the leader of the soldiers who were escorting her. She shook him hard, but he would not wake up. After the shop owner and the waiter woke up, they helped to rescue the people. Of the twelve soldiers, only five were rescued, and including Yao Yun, only six people were left.

Yao Yun had already seen the exiled Su family. The room they lived in was empty, with no one in it. But she couldn't say anything because her children were still in there. She hoped they would run away.

Even if her daughter hated her, she still hoped that her children would be safe and sound.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third sister!" Yao Yun cried heart-wrenchingly facing the fire. They left, but they did not take her with them. She was abandoned by her children and clansmen.

She had hurt people before, but she did it for her family.

From now on, she had no husband and no children.

The chief of the police has woken up.

There were twelve people escorted, but only five of them were left, as the others were burned to death in the fire. This matter needs to be reported to the government office, as with such a big fire, I'm afraid they are all dead.

He was dragged out by Yao Yun. This woman still had some conscience and knew that he treated her the best. However, she was old and although she was quite pretty, he would not keep Yao Yun by his side. In his opinion, Yao Yun was as lowly as the women in a brothel. She caused her husband to lose his job and be convicted. She was an unlucky person and was only for fun.

Mo You followed his three sons all the way. They had some small change on them, so they bought clothes from the villagers and changed into them. Although the three were tired, the eldest son acted somewhat like an older brother and protected his younger siblings all the way. However, they had been separated from their tribesmen long ago, and no one knew where the other tribesmen had fled to.

He arrived at the place where old Yao was buried before the three of them, dug up the coffin, and bought a decent set of burial clothes for old Yao to wear. He took the coffin to the dilapidated temple that his three children had to pass by.

Sure enough, it snowed that afternoon, and the three siblings went into the dilapidated temple to take shelter from the wind and snow.

Mo You changed his attire. In the early years, the Jinling Su family was rich and powerful. He also learned swordsmanship and knew some ways to save his life. This time he used all of them. He disguised himself as a middle-aged swordsman and sat in front of the fire.

"Brother, there is a fire here, we can warm ourselves by it!"

When Third Sister Su entered the dilapidated temple, she saw the coffin at first glance, and then saw a middle-aged swordsman. Her heart began to beat fast, and she shrank back in fear.

Su Erge clasped his fists and said, "I didn't know you were here. Please forgive me for disturbing you! It's snowing outside, and we want to rest here for a while."

Mo You asked, "Are you three the children of Su Mo, the great agricultural official of Hunan Province?"

A trace of panic flashed across the eyes of the three people.

Brother Su bowed and said, "I wonder who you are, senior..."

"I have met your father a few times. When Su Mo was young, he was a famous figure in Jiangnan. He was called 'Mr. Qiu Shui'. He had a face as white as autumn water and a body as beautiful as jade. He was truly a gentle and kind young man. But Mr. Qiu Shui's life was ruined because he married an unvirtuous wife. It's not his fault. It was his mother who forced him to do it."

This person did not show any sarcasm, but instead seemed to express regret and sympathy.

Brother Su said, "Please allow us brothers and sisters to rest here for a while. When the snow stops, we will leave immediately."

Mo You said calmly: "This is not my territory. If I can come, you can come too. But you have to take this coffin away when the time comes?"

They came here to take a rest, why should they take the coffin with them? Are they going to kill them?

The three brothers were terribly frightened.

Mo You said, "Why don't you push the door open and take a look to see who is inside?"

Brother Su approached the coffin, pushed open the lid, and saw the person inside, "Grandma!"

The second brother Su and the third sister Su looked over together and saw familiar people. It was obvious that someone had cleaned up the place for their grandmother, which made it look so presentable.

Mo You said, "I have some friendship with Su Mo. This time, I heard that he was implicated by his unvirtuous wife, so I rushed over. I saw the wooden tablet he erected for the old lady on the roadside, so I took out the coffin and prepared funeral clothes for the old lady. Since you are here, I will leave it to you from now on."

Brother Su looked at Mo You and said, "You...you are the one who saved us from the inn?"

Mo You nodded and said, "Your father has been burned to charcoal, and your mother is in such a situation, you should just live well.

Since your father and I know each other, I have prepared some things for you. With these, you are no longer criminals and can change your name and identity from now on.

Don't go to big places like Hunan Province, Jiangnan, and Beijing, so as to avoid being noticed.

A few years ago, there was a pair of brothers named Su from Caizhou who went to Hunan Province to live with their relatives because their parents had both died. The eldest son of the family was born well-off and became a son-in-law. He took his wife's family name and went to the government office to change his household registration documents.

You just happen to have some of their brothers' household registration documents.

Take this document to Jinyang Prefecture and change your names to other names, not your own names, nor the names of the two brothers. Spend a little more money, and the household registration officials will change it for you."

He handed Su Da Ge'er two household registration documents, with which he could travel anywhere in Qi.

Brother Su took it.
