Chapter 131 Assassination

Black smoke pillars rose into the sky along with the flames, and black smoke kept rising. The air was filled with a burning smell, and there was also a faint smell of blood. A large number of houses were burned down, and under the black smoke, they were all

The running people were driven away like animals.

"My lord, the Hedong side has been working hard to build the manor according to the instructions of the assistant. However, the fields divided by the lord can only accommodate 10,000 households at most. Mr. Boning sent me to inform the lord that if we move the population again, we will

I'm afraid there isn't enough land." Li Qing rode his horse to Chen Mo's side, looked at the crowd in the distance, and whispered.

The troops maintaining order were shouting loudly, but the sound spread among the crowd began to become blurry. An old woman in ragged clothes was kneeling on the ground and begging. She had grown up here all her life. Who would be willing to suddenly leave their hometown?

"Go to the Wei family and tell Wei Jian that you can lend me some more land, whether it's thin land or fertile land. I will return it after this happens." Chen Mo felt unspeakably depressed in his heart. The scene before him reminded him of himself many years ago.

They are also unable to control themselves and have no ability to resist. They can only move towards an unpredictable future step by step under the control of others.

Dong Zhuo's approach cannot be wrong, but for these relocated people, I don't know how many people will die during the migration. Over there in Guanzhong, they have not built habitable residences for them, let alone allocated land to them.

Once there, most of these people will become tenant farmers or even refugees.

At least so far, neither Dong Zhuo nor Li Ru have made adequate preparations for this migration of people. In other words, they don't care, they just want a result. It is precisely because of this that Chen Mo has the opportunity.

But taking advantage of it, a large number of refugees can be transported away secretly.

"My lord, Mr. Boning's suggestion is to reduce the land allocated to each household to solve the current crisis first. If we borrow it from the Wei family, we may not be able to borrow it in the future," Li Qing said in a low voice.

"Tell him that I will keep the land of the Wang family in Taiyuan for him. It depends on him whether he is willing to take it. There are too many big families in Bingzhou." Chen Mo said with a smile. Wang Yun was planning for his family during this time.

No matter how much self-interest was gained, one day, he would make the Wang family spit out even more with interest, and it would be legal.

"Here!" Li Qing shivered slightly when he heard the words, bowed to Chen Mo and said: "In addition, Cai Weng's family members have also arrived in Anyi. The day before yesterday, Wei Jian and the Wei family patriarch came to the door in person to apologize to Miss Cai's wife, and offered

It’s a great gift.”

"How thick?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"When Sangquan arrived in Jie County, there were one thousand acres of fertile farmland and three thousand acres of thin farmland. However, the Cai family did not take it. Instead, she handed over the land deeds to the county government, hoping to help more people." Li Qing bowed.

Chen Moran for a moment, nodded and said: "I know, let's do the work, I will make a decision after I get back."

"Here, I'll excuse you." Li Qing bowed to Chen Mo and said.

Looking at Li Qing's leaving figure, Chen Mo smiled. The Wei family was quite generous this time. Unfortunately, Wei Ju was still in a wait-and-see attitude, but the bets had begun. However, Chen Mo knew that the other party probably wanted more, so it was better to wait and see.

At least until your own system is established, no aristocratic family will interfere, so it will be much easier.

Something fell on his face, and the cold feeling dissipated. Chen Mo touched it and looked up at the gloomy sky. It was going to rain.

"Han Kai!" Chen Mo looked behind him.

"Here!" Han Kaice came immediately.

"Take the people and go west to see how many straw huts I have built for everyone to take shelter from the wind and rain a few days ago. It's going to rain tonight, so organize the manpower to build more." Chen Mo wiped his face and said: "Put on more clothes. Please bring some clothes, don’t get cold, there are still many things to do next, don’t lie on the bed like that good-for-nothing Bao Geng, unable to get up."

"Here!" Han Kaisurong saluted. Bao Geng sent the villagers away and fell ill when he came back. He had injuries on his body. He had been running around for two more days. It would be strange not to be sick. Now he is lying on the bed, humming all day. Hengjiji, military affairs are all temporarily handled by Yu Sheng.

While the two were talking, a small chaos broke out in the crowd in front.

"Go do something." Chen Mo waved towards Han Kai and walked toward the chaos with Dian Wei and Bai Piao.

A woman holding a child was pushed down. The child in her arms was crying loudly. The man angrily grabbed another man and started fighting. The conflict between the two quickly affected the people around him, and the chaos slowly began to spread around. spread.

A corps leader brought someone over to stop him, but he was hit in the head with a stone. Blood flowed out. Amidst the sounds of crying and cursing, Chen Mo came outside the crowd. A short and sturdy man suddenly took out something from his arms. He stabbed Chen Mo with a short knife.

"Pfft~"

The cold light flashed, and the short and stocky man's eyes widened, and he kept the assassination movement, staring blankly at Chen Mo, who was already holding the sword. Dark red blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and the thin blood line on his neck was expanding.

"The dog officer killed someone!" someone in the crowd suddenly roared.

Chen Mo didn't wait for the crowd to become more chaotic. The sword in his hand that was about to be sheathed was suddenly thrown out and disappeared into the crowd. The people around him were scared and fled away. A lean man stared and stabbed him in the neck with both hands. He often stared at Chen Mo, and the short knife in his hand fell to the ground.

"There are assassins, protect the lord!" Dian Wei and Bai Piao reacted upon seeing this. Someone was clearly causing chaos and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Chen Mo, so they quickly took their personal guards to protect Chen Mo.

Chen Mo waved his hand and walked straight into the crowd. The people around him quickly made way for a huge space. They watched Chen Mo walk to the body of the lean man kneeling on the ground, slowly pulled out the Chengyuan Sword, and pulled out the Chengyuan Sword. The blade of the sword was wiped repeatedly on the man's corpse until it was shiny.

"Someone is deliberately creating chaos and wants to assassinate me. There are still some among you. It's hard to find out for a while. It's best to exercise restraint when you're out. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether they will be killed by mistake next time." Chen Mo returned his sword to its sheath, and slowly scanned the surrounding mobs with his eyes and said, "It's going to rain. It's important for everyone to hurry up and hurry up. I've ordered people to set up thatched huts in front to take shelter from the rain."

The people around didn't dare to make any more noise. They all kept their mouths shut. After seeing Chen Mo leave, they slowly set foot on the road.

Looking at the eyes of those people who were avoiding snakes and scorpions, Chen Mo didn't care. Why didn't he pity these people? In troubled times, these people are the most helpless, but you can't be soft-hearted. He has experienced such a situation. If you are too If they are too kind, these people will not be grateful, but will get worse. Although the truth seems to be unreasonable, at this time, evil people are more likely to be respected than good people, and their work efficiency will be faster.

Chen Mo hoped that fewer people would die, so he had to show his vicious side to calm these people. The same thing has happened many times.

"Lord, these assassins..." Bai Piao looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Don't worry, it's hard to find any clues." Chen Mo shook his head. Chen Mo knew who would assassinate him at this time, but if he wanted to get evidence from these people, it was basically impossible. At this time, it was impossible. Not for investigation.

"Just forget it?" Dian Wei was a little angry, half because of the assassination, and the other half because of guilt. After all, with him by his side, the assassin actually wanted Chen Mo to solve it himself.

"I don't know how to calculate. This debt will have to be paid sooner or later, but not now." Chen Mo shook his head, got on his horse and said, "Let's go and take a look in front."

"Here!"

Everyone was about to ride their horses forward when they saw a horse galloping towards them. They roared from a distance: "Chen Mo, stop!"

"Yu Fulo?" Chen Mo frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Chen Mo, you promised me that as long as I confess He Yong, nothing will happen to me." Yu Fuluo rode his horse and came closer, looked at Chen Mo and roared, his voice became a little shrill when he got excited.

"Are you okay?" Chen Mo looked at Yu Fulo's somewhat pale face, nodded and said, "I didn't break my promise."

"Is this okay!?" Yufro got off his horse and was not afraid of people's jokes. He untied his belt and exposed his bloody crotch to everyone: "If you leave me like this, how can I go back to being Shan Yu?"

After Dong Zhuo learned of He Yong's plan, he ordered He Yong to be executed on the spot. Although Yu Fuluo was not killed, Dong Zhuo was annoyed that he led troops to attack Gongqing and ordered his men to kill him.

Chen Mo suppressed his laughter and tried to be serious and said: "Actually, if you stay in the palace and serve His Majesty, if you can do it well, you can have power over the world. As for the Xiongnu Chanyu, don't worry, the court will let someone handle it. of."

The blame could only be placed on Yu Fuluo's bad luck. If he had robbed ordinary people, Chen Mo might not be able to catch him. After all, when the cavalry ran, it would be difficult for Chen Mo to catch up with his small number of troops, and there were not many soldiers to guard the ordinary people.

But Humphrey rushed into the crowd that day and killed several officials. The outcome of this kind of thing is already good for him.

"Where is my warrior!?" Yufro stared at Chen Mo angrily and roared.

"King Zuo Xian." Chen Mo sighed: "With the way you are now, even if I give you the soldiers, do you think they will let a eunuch be their leader?"

"This is my business, you just need to give me the soldiers!" Humphrey said with a dark expression.

"It's in the military camp. If you have the ability, go and take them away." Chen Mole turned his horse and said, "But if they don't want to follow you, then forgive me for not being able to help."

"You are despicable!" Yu Fulo rushed up to him, grabbed Chen Mo's horse and said, "From the very beginning, you have been coveting my soldiers and horses!"

"So what?" Chen Mo kicked him down and looked down at him: "There are rules in the Central Plains. You have to be smart when you come here!"

Pointing to his head, Chen Mo shook his head and said: "I advise you to enter the palace. At least you will have enough food and clothing. Now, even if you return to the Huns, what will you do? Will the Xiongnu warriors serve an eunuch as a chanyu? "

Watching Chen Mo and his entourage leave, Yu Fuluo's roar of unwillingness and despair echoed around the countryside...
