Take refuge

In the evening, Nunu got some rabbits from nowhere and had nothing to do. Tie Mo, wearing a coarse robe, sat in the courtyard and grilled rabbit meat for a few women. At first, Lady Meng and Li Xin'er were still frightened.

After all, how could it be that the dignified Iron Superintendent was allowed to roast the rabbit in person while the maid was at hand? I wanted to persuade him, but Miss Xu pulled me over and said a few words, and the two of them stopped insisting.

This yard is located in the south of Xihua County. There is a small river outside the door and there are willow trees around it. Even in summer, it is very cool, so it is perfect for outdoor barbecue. Originally this yard belonged to Fei Weigu, but this

As soon as Fei Zhixian went to Chaohu, the Iron Governor occupied the yard and gave it to Meng Wenyue. After all, Mrs. Meng was already the Iron Governor's woman, and it was not suitable to live in the Yang family anymore, although the Yang family didn't care.

, but he knows someone still cares.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had an open-air barbecue. I remember the last time I roasted sheep with Dugu Qiubei in the poplar forest in Tongzhou two years ago. Fortunately, my skills were not unfamiliar. Smelling the rich aroma of meat, Miss Xu rubbed her hands and sat down.

Uneasy and impatient, "Is it okay?"

"Why are you so anxious? You have so much meat but you can't get enough of it? What about Nunu, is this damn girl taking so long to get some vegetables?" As soon as Tie Mo finished speaking, he heard the sound of brisk footsteps. Nunu was wearing the little hat.

Wai Mao ran out anxiously, put the chopping board on the table, and poured the vegetables on top, "Ah... Supervisor, that old man Mo is here."

Old Man Mo? Tie Mo soon realized that Mo Shi'en was not old, but in the eyes of Jiu Yatou, he became Old Man Mo. When he heard that Mo Shi'en was coming, Xu Meiling didn't have a good expression, "Weird thing, Mo Shi

Well, what are you doing here at this time?"

Seeing that the rabbit meat was almost roasted, he left the rest to Nunu, then stood up and walked towards the front hall, "You guys eat, I will go take a look!"

In the front hall, although Mo Shi'en was sitting on his seat, his eyes were wandering and he seemed to be preoccupied. This time when he came to Xihua County, Mo Shi'en also hesitated for a long time. He had never been so scared before.

, even though the Chaohu bandits broke into Fengyang Mansion twice, he did not panic to the point of losing control. However, after the officials decided not to send a single soldier to rescue Qingshuihe in the past few days, he completely panicked.

For the first time, Mo Shien felt that there was indeed something wrong with the Ming Dynasty. Although this idea was a bit rebellious, Mo Shien did think so. With the cabinet's ability, the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of flowers and mountains would sooner or later fall into the hands of foreigners.

Mo Shien is not opposed to fighting for power. Even he, Mo Shien, is greedy for power and is willing to do whatever it takes to do so, let alone when it involves imperial power. But Mo Shien believes in a truth, that is, there must be a bottom line in everything you do, just like imperial power.

No matter what method is used, it is not excessive, but it should not destroy the Ming Dynasty. However, the cabinet seems to have no bottom line, but sometimes it is too bottom line. Are these people suitable to lead the Ming Dynasty?

When an idea came up, he could no longer suppress it. After hesitating for several days, Mo Shien came to Xihua County. This was his only chance. He didn't want to follow the cabinet to destruction.

The sound of footsteps came, and when he saw the Iron Supervisor in a coarse robe, Mo Shien quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, Mo Shi'en, pays your respects to the Superintendent!"

Mo Shien's tone was respectful and full of etiquette. Tie Mo couldn't help but wonder. Although Mo Shien was not lacking in courtesy before, he had never been so respectful. He sat on the main seat, wiped his sweat, and motioned for Mo Shien to sit down.

He said, "Master Mo, I came to visit you late at night. What's the important matter? But what happened over there in Fengyang?"

"Supervisor, you are overly worried. Fengyang is very calm. General Liu's surrender has also gone smoothly. General Orger also retreated to Kaifeng Mansion today to rest!" Mo Shi'en cupped his hands and clasped his fists, with a solemn look on his face.

After hesitating for a moment, he stood up again, took out a red-covered square folder from his sleeve and handed it over, "Supervisor, this is what I have earned over the years, and I will give it to the Supervisor today."

Tie Mo hesitated for a moment, but took the folder over, opened it and took a look, and his expression changed a little. What was recorded on it were actually the names of many officials, and after the names were attached the illegal things these people had done over the years.

I looked over a name and saw Mo Shien's name at the end. What kind of twist is this?

Zi, it is simply an official life and death book. Whoever holds this life and death book can pull down these officials at any time. In other words, holding the account book can secretly control these officials. Close the book, Tie Mo

He looked at Mo Shien with squinted eyes and a smile, hoping to see something on Mo Shien's face.

Why did Mo Shien hand over such an important thing? What was his intention? Did he hand it over sincerely, or was it a conspiracy played by Cheng Jiming, Zhou Tingru and others?

"Lord Mo, can you tell me why you handed over the account books to me?" Although Tie Mo's face became much kinder, his sharp eyes never left Mo Shien, and he used his left hand to secretly use his internal energy.

, if you see a hint of cunning in Mo Shien's eyes, you will hesitate to kill him.

Mo Shi'en had been an official for many years and could keenly feel the pressure from Tie Mo. He cupped his hands and whispered, "I dare not deceive the governor. Although I am not a good person, I at least read poetry and books and know that I am a great Ming Dynasty."

It should not fall into the hands of foreigners. The Tatars in the north are ferocious, but now some adults in the cabinet are really out-of-minded and strategic... It is really unbearable, so I have no choice but to do this."

Mo Shien is still honest, but Tie Mo likes such honest people. Tie Mo doesn't care if Mo Shien is greedy for money and power, as long as he can really do things, and if Mo Shien sincerely surrenders, from now on

It will be much more convenient if you have anything to do in Fengyang. Mo Shien is

He is very greedy for money. He is an out-and-out corrupt official, but his ability to handle government affairs is not bad at all. Tie Mo's employment is somewhat similar to that of Zhang Juzheng in the past. He is not afraid of you being greedy, but afraid that you are mediocre and incompetent, so he would rather use corrupt officials.

There is no need for servants, and there is no need for Qingliu to use capable officials.

"Very good, I hope Mr. Mo can remember what I said for a few days. As long as Mr. Mo does his work with all his heart, I will not treat you badly. But if you dare to go against my will and act duplicitous with me, don't blame me.

You're welcome, Inspector!"

"Don't worry, Supervisor. The subordinates are greedy for money and cherish their lives. As long as the Supervisor is alive, the subordinates will never dare to rebel!"

Tie Mo nodded secretly. Mo Shien is indeed a real villain and very honest. As long as he is loyal to someone, he will not betray him. The underlying meaning is that if Inspector Tie meets the King of Hell, then he cannot be blamed.

Mo Shien found another place. Tie Mo was not disgusted with Mo Shien's temperament. Many people would think like Mo Shien, but few people would say it directly like Mo Shien.

After sending Mo Shien away, Tie Mo returned to the courtyard. Several women had already started eating happily, enjoying the moonlight, drinking wine, and being accompanied by beauties. On such a day, it wouldn't be a bad idea to be given a seat as a god.

.

Happy days are always too short. Two days later, Tie Mo packed his bags and said goodbye to Meng Wenyue. When leaving, Meng Wenyue cried so much that her eyes were red. Although this woman was very capable, she was not as good-hearted as the eldest lady.

Seeing that Meng Wenyue was crying pitifully, Tie Mo could only say a few words of comfort, and waited until it was already over to leave for the capital.

The south wind blows slowly and is warm, but now the warm wind can't bring people any comfort. The large capital city is shrouded in heat, and perhaps only the banks of the Wenyu River can enjoy a bit of coolness. Today, Yan Miantian

News of the recruitment has reached the capital

, For the people in the capital, these two pieces of news are simply unbelievable. In just a few days, the imperial court defeated the bandit Zhang Xianzhong and then Tian Zhao. When did the Song army become so powerful? In other words, the iron governor

Is the teacher really so magical?

Maybe the people in the capital are happy, but all this is not a good thing for His Majesty Zhu Youjian and the cabinet. The more capable the soldiers under Tie Mo's command are, the stronger the uneasiness in the hearts of the cabinet and Zhu Youjian.

I have to say that this is a very contradictory feeling.

Speaking of which, Zhu Youjian also underestimated Zhang Xianzhong. This time Tie Mo just took advantage of it. In addition, Zhang Xianzhong didn't really want to work hard, so he was careless, which gave Tie Mo the opportunity to dig out the water in Sanhe.

, if it were to happen again, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be that easy.

When I return to the capital, I must have some tenderness with Chang Minyue. After not seeing each other for a few months, Miss Chang has changed a lot. Her body is plump, her jade arms are fair under the thin gauze, and she has a cold and unparalleled face.

It's so charming. She held Chang Minyue's body and played with the green jade fingers, which were elegant and fragrant. "Minyue, how have you been recently? Are you still getting used to everything?"

"It's not bad. I can handle it with Xinyue's help. Oh, husband, Yue Qiannu's family has already convinced Yang Yunxian, but this man is very dull and always asks for money to repair ditches!"

"Steady? Haha, Chang Minyue was joking. This Yang Yunxian is not dull at all. Do you think he really wants money just to build the Hedong Waterway? I'm afraid he also has the intention of testing us. After all, he got involved in the cabinet.

He’s so full of money, he’s afraid that we have the same moral character as the cabinet!”

Chang Minyue frowned slightly, scratched the man's chin with her fingers, and said softly, "Stop talking about this, how long do you plan to stay in the capital this time?"

This time Tie Mo asked was stunned. He didn't know when he would leave. This time he returned to Beijing mainly to deal with trivial matters. In addition, he also had to go south to sit down and think about the annihilation of Zhang Xianzhong. Tie Mo was not that interested in annihilating Zhang Xianzhong.

, he was interested in the resources in Zhang Xianzhong's hands, whether it was people or wealth, Tie Mo did not want these resources to fall into the hands of the imperial court, not to mention that Li Zicheng, who was hiding in Huguang, had been restless recently.

Zhang Xianzhong has accumulated an incredible amount of wealth in the past two years and has many capable people under his command. If he can use it for his own benefit, he will be lucky.

"I can't say for sure. The war in the south is very stalemate. I think it will be entangled for a while. I will stay for a few days and rest before going to suppress the bandits! Even if I don't go, the imperial court will not let Mr. Tie stay in the capital.

Enjoyable."

Hearing that Tie Mohui would stay in the capital for a while, Chang Minyue was visibly relieved and said with a smile, "Qionghua Building has been improved and business is good. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Speaking of this matter, Chang Minyue was still somewhat proud. This was the first time she had presided over such an event.

A few months ago, Qionghua Building closed its doors to thank customers. The old madam, Mrs. Li, even bought several courtyards near Qionghua Building with the financial support of the Qin Palace. Then the long-famous Qionghua Building began to be renovated. Two months later

Later, people in the capital discovered Qionghua Tower

It has completely changed. The name on the plaque in front of the door has also been changed. It is called "Jingshi Entertainment City". There are many elegant guests in the capital, and they are very interested in the many rare things, so many people went in to have a look, but when they entered, they were stunned.

I can't bear to come out anymore, here

This is not an ordinary Chuguan. There are high-end bathhouses inside, but each bathhouse must be reserved. In addition, there are different entertainment methods such as Pai Gow and chess and cards, which attracted many gamblers. Of course, it is indispensable in the entertainment city.

Beautiful women, but unlike usual, the girls have to be willing. The wealthy people in Bianjing accepted these new things quickly, and it didn’t take long for the entertainment city’s reputation to spread throughout Beizhili. In front of the entertainment city, other entertainment venues

Suddenly it lost all its luster.

After all, the entertainment city is also the most direct source of information for the Northern Shanxi Party in the capital in the future. Tie Mo, the real owner, always has to go and see it, and sitting in the mansion for a long time is boring. He took Chang Minyue's hand.

, raised the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course I want to go take a look, and Min Yue should come too, but this dress..."

Chang Minyue was smart and smart. She smiled faintly and just said "wait a moment" before returning to the backyard. Not long after, Chang Minyue returned to the pavilion. But this time she was wearing a green gown, her hair was tied up, and she was shaking a folding fan in her right hand.

, like a young master who prefers to be the best, "Master Zhao, how do you feel about being a brother?"

Chang Minyue is a cold-blooded person, but she still has a certain elegance even when she smiles. She rarely smiles on weekdays, and it is very rare that she can joke with His Highness Zhao today. Tie Mo frowned.

With a sullen expression on his face, he closed his fan and pointed, angrily saying, "What a good rabbit husband, how can he seduce good women?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and smiled at the same time. Although they left the house, they ran out from the side door. Although Xu Meiling led Nunu to go shopping, she was still afraid of bumping into them. If this person

A few carefree people found out about it and inevitably wanted to join in the fun.

Walking on the long street, waves of hot and humid wind hit each other. Speaking of which, this is the first time the two of them have met each other. There are no other people around to disturb them. Chang Minyue is full of manners and styles, and she is a man.

Even though she was dressed up, she still couldn't hide her youthfulness. Under the dense willow tree, she bent over and picked up apples in front of the stall. Her graceful curves were extremely enchanting, attracting people's imagination.

Also eating apples, Iron Superintendent took big mouthfuls, which was a bit rude. On the contrary, Chang Minyue opened her mouth of cherries in a very elegant way.

In the blink of an eye, we have arrived in front of Qionghua Building. No, to be precise, this is no longer Qionghua Building. Looking up, I see that the plaque has been changed, the original pink-themed decoration has been removed, the door has been made much wider, and there are two doors on both sides.
Chapter completed!
