Creation Color Master

In the end, Cui Hao fled in a panic with his guards. Cui Hao looked at Yang Jiye with deep resentment and fear.

Amid the woman's numerous thanks and the gaze of the crowd, Chu Mo left with a few people.

It was not until Chu Mo and others had gone far away that the crowd began to discuss loudly.

Some people speculated about Chu Mo's identity. He dared to ignore the Cui family. He must be very powerful.

Some people speculated about Yang Jiye's identity, guessing that he was that military figure who was so powerful;

Some people speculated that Cui Hao would not let them go easily, fearing that they would be retaliated by the Cui family...

Chu Mo naturally didn't know what everyone was talking about, but he knew that now that the Cui family had lost face, a playboy like Cui Hao would not keep quiet.

Chu Mo wanted to see what means the Cui family would use to retaliate against him.

Chu Mo walked around the streets in a swagger, purchasing some supplies that he had used up on the road.

The news about him and Yang Jiye spread quickly in Guangling City.

On the other side, the Cui family’s huge Cui Mansion covers a vast area.

If someone who knows the business sees it, they will find that the layout of the pavilions and towers inside is very particular.

From the steps in front of the door, to the gate, the double lions in front of the door, the copper ring on the door, straight through the screen wall, then the corridor, the front hall, the lobby, the backyard, the garden, etc., everything is complete and exquisite.

At this moment in the lobby, Cui Hao was acting pitiful to a majestic man.

"Father, you don't know how arrogant that man was. He threw your son off his horse without knowing the truth, and his guards almost killed your son. Father, your precious son was almost killed."

Cui Liang looked at his son below. He knew his son's character, but that man taught his son a lesson in front of the whole city. He did not take the Cui family seriously at all. This was a provocation to the Cui family.

If this matter is not dealt with, the people in the city will really think that the Cui family is afraid of them. Then where is the prestige that the Cui family has established in Guangling City?

At this time, a burly man stepped into the hall and said, "Brother, I heard that my nephew was beaten. Who did it? How could he not even take our Cui family in Guangling City seriously?"

When Cui Tai arrived, he sat down carelessly, looking at Cui Hao beside him and said, "What a shame! He is always so arrogant, but this time he is such a loser that he was scared and ran away."

Cui Liang waved his hand to interrupt Cui Tai and said, "Hao'er, can you tell where they came from and where they are from?"

Cui Hao said: "He didn't say, but his guards should be from the army. I have never seen such a strong army before. Even Guo Song who was protecting me was no match for him. But father, that man seems to have a magical weapon in his hand."

Cui Liang naturally knew Guo Song. He was the one who was assigned to Cui Hao. His cultivation was already at the middle level of the spirit summoning stage, and he was more than capable of protecting Cui Hao in Guangling City.

Being able to defeat Guo Song with one strike shows that this man has a high level of cultivation. He also has military experience and can obtain spiritual weapons. These made Cui Liang hesitate and he dared not give orders.

Just as Cui Liang was thinking about the pros and cons, he was interrupted by Cui Tai.

Cui Tai said: "Brother, we have hereditary titles. Who dares to touch us in these years? Even the current emperor has to give way to us. Why should we be afraid of a soldier?"

Cui Liang sighed silently upon hearing this. This is the overall thinking of the Cui family now. If they do not strive for progress and only rely on their ancestors, the Cui family will truly decline sooner or later. If they do not change, they will be doomed to become common people.

The reason why the Cui family is what it is today is not only because of their meritorious service to the emperor in their early years, but also because five of their family members were ranked among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers in the early years. However, the family gradually declined in the later period, and now only the second brother Cui Mingjie is serving as an official in the court, holding the position of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, a fifth-rank official.

Cui Liang was very calm at this time, and said: "Of course, the family's dignity must be maintained, but there is no rush. Third brother, you go and send someone to secretly follow the group. I will write a letter to second brother immediately and ask him to use his connections to find out the details of the military strategist."

"Don't be careless and cause trouble. Although we have the title, our family has gradually declined. Only my second brother is struggling to support the court. Don't be careless and push the family into an irreparable situation."

Cui Tai said respectfully, "Yes, I will listen to you, big brother. I will tell the boys below to keep an eye on the whereabouts of that group of people."

After Zhou Tai left, Cui Liang also drove Cui Hao away. He pondered for a while alone and then wrote a letter.

After instructing the servant to deliver the letter, Cui Liang looked at the koi in the courtyard pond. This place was close to Huangzhou, and he believed that he would receive a reply within a day and a night.

What Chu Mo didn't know was that their every move was being monitored at this moment.

After wandering around, Chu Mo bought a lot of good things, most of which were local specialties, and planned to take them back to the theater in Yong'an Town.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Chu Mo found a restaurant called: Shili Xiang.

After finding an empty table, Chu Mo ordered a few signature dishes, poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Daoyan, why do you think the Cui family came to arrest us?"

That’s right, Chu Mo’s target this time is the Cui family, a family that has existed since the founding of the dynasty.

As a newly promoted Shadow Guard Inspector, he naturally has to show his loyalty. Chu Mo happened to come here and heard some bad news about the Cui family, so he decided to investigate it thoroughly.

He was still thinking about how to provoke the Cui family, but then he saw Cui Hao coming to his door, so Chu Mo suddenly had an idea and acted according to the situation.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "After all, the Cui family has the merit of following the emperor. Even if they have fallen, they are not comparable to ordinary families. This place is close to the imperial capital. I have heard that there are still people from the Cui family serving as officials in the court. Although their official positions are not high, I think they should use their positions to investigate our details."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Haha, I don't think he can find out my identity, and you are all commoners now, so I'm afraid the Cui family is wasting their time."

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "My Lord, since you want to investigate, but you want to get involved and collect evidence, wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Since this is a token of my allegiance, I must naturally join the game. Otherwise, how can I show my talents? After all, the Shadow Guards don't accept trash. Besides, it's easier to get things done if I have an identity."

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "In that case, I will add some more ingredients, so that we can achieve our goal sooner."

Chu Mo thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

Soon, rumors about the Cui family spread throughout Guangling City, causing the Cui family's reputation to plummet.

Yao Guangxiao spread rumors, saying that the Cui family was poisoning the people and treating human life as worthless, and at the same time incited the people who had been oppressed for many years.

Some also said that the Cui family had fallen into decline after all. They behaved arrogantly on weekdays, but today when they met people from the army, they kept their tails between their legs. They were typical bullies who only feared the strong and bullied the weak.

The rumors were spread by Wei Zheng and Tian Yiheng. They did not hide them, so they were naturally seen clearly by the people in charge of surveillance.

In a private room of the restaurant, Cui Tai was drinking happily with two beauties beside him. When he heard the news from his men, he overturned the table.

"Okay, okay. They are the first to dare to provoke our Cui family like this. I want to see what they are capable of. Imprison them and torture them severely to relieve my hatred."

The subordinate at the side said, "Third Master, the head of the family said not to act rashly. I think we should wait a little longer."

Cui Tai stared and said, "No, listen to me on this matter. Imprison them first. When my second brother's reply arrives, I will personally let them know the consequences of offending our Cui family. Go, arrest them."

The subordinate took the order and turned to leave.
