Creation Color Master

Chu Mo, who was leisurely drinking tea, heard a noisy sound downstairs.

They smiled at each other. The people from the Cui family had finally arrived. They had been waiting for a long time.

I saw a group of people coming upstairs with ferocious looks, and went straight to where Chu Mo was. The crowd surrounded him.

The guests who were having dinner at Shili Xiang naturally recognized the people from the Cui family. Seeing such a scene, they had no mood to eat and left in fear.

Even the boss who had been staying at the counter was so scared that he went straight into the kitchen.

The leader said in a ruffian tone, "I say, you guys, you guys, don't you know how to restrain yourself when you come to Guangling City? You dare to provoke our Cui family. Brothers, arrest them for me."

Chu Mo looked at the leader with a smile and said, "Come here, I'll tell you a secret."

The leader approached Chu Mo, and Chu Mo leaned over and whispered in his ear: "You really are relying on the power of others."

The leader was furious when he heard this, and glared at Chu Mo fiercely, wishing to kill Chu Mo on the spot to vent his anger, but in the end he held back and said, "Brothers, take them all away."

Chu Mo and others were taken away, and everything went so smoothly.

After everyone left, the restaurant owner poked his head out with a horrified look on his face. He walked out of the kitchen tremblingly after confirming that everyone had left. He wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "My goodness, looking at the situation just now, I thought the restaurant was doomed today."

On the street, the crowd was talking about Chu Mo and others who were taken away.

An old man carrying a hoe said, "Those people look unfamiliar. They must be from outside. I don't know what they did wrong. Now they are going to suffer."

Someone nearby said, "Brother, is it necessary to go to so much trouble to deal with the Cui family's behavior of bullying and oppressing the people? Who can be arrested and what crime has been committed? It's all up to them to decide."

A sturdy man said, "This big brother is right. When the time comes, I will try all kinds of torture in prison. I am not afraid that you will confess under torture."

The old man carrying the hoe asked, "Who is this? Does anyone know him?"

At this time, a swordsman spoke slowly: "He is the pedestrian who almost killed the Cui family's heir today and saved the little girl who was almost trampled to death. I didn't expect the Cui family to act so quickly."

Chu Mo and others were taken to the county government office in the City Lord's Mansion and imprisoned in a dark dungeon.

The cell was very large. As he walked along, Chu Mo saw that there were more than a dozen people imprisoned in one of the cells. They were all wearing shackles, in great pain, and snuggling in the dry grass on the ground.

Some live in solitary cells, which are even equipped with beds and quilts.

In the dark and damp dungeon, Chu Mo made a big discovery just by looking around.

When most people saw the yamen runners coming, they all said with difficulty: "Sir, I am innocent. Sir, I really know nothing."

Everyone was wailing, and some even ignored the shackles and stretched their hands out of the cell, hoping to attract the attention of the bailiffs.

The prisoners who lived in luxurious cells didn't even raise their eyelids.

Finally, the bailiff led Chu Mo and the others to an empty cell, pushed them all in, and said, "Everyone, we have arrived. You should stay here. Don't do anything behind our backs and offend our brothers."

After saying that, he left with a swagger.

Chu Mo looked at the hay on the ground, then at the mushrooms growing on the wall. The musty smell rushed straight into his brain.

Chu Mo found a clean place and sat down. Now that he had successfully entered, of course he had to start collecting evidence.

Chu Mo handed this matter over to Yao Guangxiao.

The dungeon was dark and gloomy, and it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.

Chu Mo only knew that Yao Guangxiao used the means of seduction, coercion, inducement, and intimidation to the fullest extent, and wandered between the cells to collect evidence.

A night passed, and Yao Guangxiao looked at the evidence in his hand, only to see that each piece of complaint was filled with the Cui family's crimes.

The complaint is covered with bloody fingerprints, which are witnesses. They are one of the powerful weapons to bring down the Cui family.

Seeing the crime of raising grain prices privately, using public power for personal gain, and the replaced grain measuring officials fighting and the Cui family making a fortune from grain;

Seeing the crime of recycling a large amount of official silver, remelting it, and casting private silver to flow into the market;

Seeing the crimes of forcibly abducting women and killing innocent people, which have torn apart many families and caused the death of many people;

Case after case, one after another, they either involved shady deals or blood debts, which were frightening just to look at.

In the lobby of Cui Mansion, Cui Liang looked at Cui Tai and said, "Third brother, I heard that you arrested that group of people. Didn't you say to wait for a while?"

Cui Tai said: "Brother, the adults are talking nonsense in the city and spreading rumors about our Cui family. I really can't stand it anymore."

Cui Liang sighed and said, "Third brother, you are too impatient. Second brother's reply should be here soon."

Zhou Tai just snorted coldly and turned his head to the other side. He really couldn't understand why his elder brother was so cautious and even looked a little cowardly.

Cui Liang said calmly, "Since we've captured him, that's all we can do. I'll go to the dungeon to check it out myself later. You go down first, and at the same time, tell your men to be careful."

Zhou Tai waved his hand impatiently and left in big strides.

Cui Liang's eyebrows and heart were twitching. For some unknown reason, he had been feeling uneasy during this period of time, as if something big had happened.

In a suburban manor, in closed rooms, shirtless men were carrying loads on their shoulders. White sand and gravel were scattered all over the floor, and grain was spread out on the ground, with people turning it over nearby.

At this time, sand and gravel can be mixed into the grain so that there is room for profit.

Everyone was working hard, but they didn't know that there was a fog rolling in the shadow. After a while, the fog disappeared.

Outside the manor, a young man in white with a bird standing on his shoulder was waiting, and soon the fog appeared in front of the young man in white.

Slowly stretching, turning into a person's shadow.

The shadow ghost can hide in a person's shadow or shadow. It is very good at hiding and has the ability to jump over shadows. It is extremely difficult to deal with. This time it mainly helps Chu Mo to deliver messages.

Shadow Ghost handed a transparent stone to Bai Feng. Bai Feng looked at the contents of the stone, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Let's go to the next place."

In this way, all the secret places related to the Cui family were found, and the shadow ghost cooperated to sneak in and leave evidence, which was seamless.

Just as Bai Feng and Ying Gui were working together to search for evidence, Cui Liang also came to the dungeon to visit Chu Mo and others.

When Cui Liang saw Chu Mo in white brocade clothes, whose attire and temperament were out of place in prison, and who still gave people a feeling of elegance and grace even in prison, his hands behind his back trembled.

Looking at the other people, some are elegant, some are majestic, and some are indifferent. They remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis. Aren’t they ordinary people?

The more Cui Liang looked, the more frightened he became. He realized that everyone in front of him was probably extraordinary. After staying for only a moment, Cui Liang hurriedly left the dungeon.

He didn't say a word from beginning to end.

When Cui Liang returned to the hall, he found that his forehead was covered with sweat.

He summoned the butler and asked him to contact the messenger and have him deliver the letter to him as soon as possible.

I poured myself a cup of tea to calm myself down.
