Chapter 101 Mo Heizi is about to take action
Just before leaving, Tang Wen had secretly sent someone to control the Hummingbird UAV to follow Mo Heizi. Naturally, he remembered his conversation with Luo Kaimei vividly.
"He wants to attack you secretly. This man is so hateful." Luo Yiwu said angrily after watching it.
"I wonder what realm the masters of the Provincial Blood Killing Hall are at?" Tang Wen said.
“It should be no less than the fifth rank, so, from now on, Gu Hanyan and Qiao Xiao cannot leave you for even a moment.
Here, ask Dongfang Ming to pick out a dozen of his strongest personal guards to follow him.
Besides, you have to bring your musket, bulletproof helmet, and vest with you." Luo Yi said.
"Yeah." Tang Wen nodded.
"Should we notify Chen Changkong? Mo Heizi is also going to attack him." Luo Yiwu asked.
"No need! Chen Changkong didn't know anything in the first place.
Even if he was secretly captured by Mo Heizi, at most he would suffer some physical pain, and it would not be a big deal.
In this way, as long as Chen Changkong gets through, he will be the leader of Yanling Helm." Tang Wen said.
"Poor Chen Changkong, alas..." Luo Yiwu sighed.
"We will return to Koh Samui tomorrow morning." Tang Wen said.
"It's a pity that you, Sir, have to entertain Mo Heizi tonight, otherwise, it would be best for us to leave now." Luo Yiwu said with a worried look on his face.
"There's no need to be so scared. If they're going to do anything, they won't do it tonight.
Aren’t they going to invite the Blood Killing Hall masters to come over? It shouldn’t be that fast.”
Tang Wen shook his head and said, "Oh, right, send a message to Dongfang Ming right away and ask him to arrange for someone to install the high-definition camera. I will debug the machine when I get back.
By then, as soon as the people from the Blood Killing Hall enter our camp, they will be discovered.
Let's try to catch the turtle in the jar. I want Mo Heizi to lose more than he gains."
"We are not strong enough, so Mo Heizi still wants to use this case to gain merit. Otherwise, he would not bother us for a dead man." Luo Yiwu said.
"Of course, this is because it involves Kang Qingfeng and his inner circle. Kang Qingfeng was able to take the position of the leader of Yanling, and there must be someone supporting him behind the scenes.
He died suddenly, and everyone would be suspicious, and his descendants would certainly not give up." Tang Wen said.
In the evening, Zhang Hongjiang and Yang Yun also came, and Mo Heizi brought Chen Changkong and Luo Kaimei.
Tang Wen asked someone to bring in a few boxes of Changyu red wine. Here, the chef combined modern and ancient techniques to cook and stew.
Stimulated by the MSG and chicken essence, Mo Heizi and the other two almost swallowed their tongues while eating.
Mo Heizi drank a box of red wine by himself and got a little drunk.
Next, he said he wanted to visit Chibafang, and Tang Wen accompanied him for a walk.
I know this guy is a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken - he has no good intentions.
However, Tang Wen was not afraid, as he had already put the Hummingbird drone into his void bag.
As for the robot that was in charge that night, Tang Wen had already torn it into pieces and thrown it into the Yanling River.
Trying to find any clues from his side was like a fantasy without modern detective methods, so he naturally returned empty-handed.
At 8:30 the next morning, Tang Wen was preparing to set off back to Koh Samui.
At this time, Wei Guang, the head of the War Fox Hall, hurried in to report, "Sir, this morning we encountered a group of refugees coming from the northwest. There were about five or six hundred of them, all from the same village. They were all willing to sell themselves to the Tang family as slaves to earn a living."
"Since we are from the same village, has the village chief arrived?" Tang Wen asked.
"The village chief is called Bai Guiyun, he is quite skilled, their place is called 'Tiger Valley', it is located right on the battlefield.
There were originally more than a thousand people in the village, and the court recruited more than three hundred young and strong men to go to the battlefield.
So, in order to make a living, the remaining hundreds of people had to flee to our side.
However, more than half of these hundreds of people are old, weak, sick and disabled. It is not cost-effective to buy them, so I came to ask you for your advice. "Wei Guang said.
"Call the village chief over, I want to ask you a question." Tang Wen said.
"He's just outside the door." Wei Guang responded and brought Bai Guiyun in.
Tang Wen discovered that this man looked very fierce, had an untidy beard, and was probably around seventy years old.
He was wearing clothes made of animal skins and looked very wild.
"Bai Guiyun from Hushan Village greets His Excellency." Upon seeing Tang Wen, Tian Guiyun was slightly stunned at first , then he clasped his fists and said.
"Is the fighting fierce in the northwest? Tell me in detail." Tang Wen nodded and asked.
"It's so cruel, so tragic. We used to live well in our village. We hunted and farmed, and we could barely survive.
But once the war started, everything in our area was in chaos.
If they hadn't escaped, nearly 70% of the people in the village would have been captured and forced to do menial work.
Two of my three sons were taken to the army. Recently, almost nine out of ten villages on the border are empty, all have fled.
There was no choice but to survive. However, before escaping, all the property in the village was confiscated.
So, we ran out wearing only the clothes we were wearing.
We came here because we heard that Lord Tang had food and clothes to wear." Tian Guiyun said.
"You are good at martial arts, why haven't you been caught?" Tang Wen asked.
"I used my own secret recipe to disguise myself, otherwise they would not let me go," said Tian Guiyun.
"You should be around 40 years old, right?" Tang Wen asked.
"Your Excellency is really amazing. He guessed it right at the first try." Tian Guiyun nodded.
"How many people did you lead to escape?" Tang Wen asked.
"Originally there were more than 800 people, but over 100 people died of illness or starvation along the way, and now there are only 583 people left," said Tian Guiyun.
"There are quite a few people, but it seems that most of the more than 500 of you are old, weak, sick and disabled." Tang Wen said.
"That's true. So, our demands are not high and we don't want too much money from selling our bodies." Tian Guiyun said with a gloomy face.
"Fifteen taels for each young and strong man, ten taels for each old man and child. Of course, if you have skills, you will get extra money according to your skill level.
For example, if you have the fifth-grade skills, you can give another 400 taels, the sixth-grade skills can give another 70 taels, the seventh-grade skills can give another 50 taels, the eighth-grade skills can give another 30 taels...
After you become servants of the Tang family, your monthly salary will be calculated according to your realm.
The fifth-grade realm can receive ten taels of silver every month, and the sixth-grade realm can receive seven or eight taels..." Tang Wen said.
“I am at the middle level of the fifth rank, and my son Tian Hao has just entered the early level of the fifth rank.
Among the remaining 500 people, more than 100 of them are skilled in martial arts.
There are also three at the sixth level, a dozen at the seventh level, and more than fifty at the eighth level..." Tian Guiyun said.
"Can you read?" Tang Wen asked.
“There are not many people who can do this. Only about a dozen of them can read, but they don’t know much.
After all, Hushan Village was originally located in the deep mountains and forests, and people usually made a living by hunting.
There is no teacher, and no school, so it is useless to learn to read." Tian Guiyun said.
"My father is the only scholar in Hushan Village." Tian Hao said at this time.
"Okay, are you satisfied with the amount I give you?" Tang Wen asked.
"We want to go to Koh Samui first." Tian Guiyun said.
"Okay, I will set off after lunch. Lunch will start at 9 o'clock and we will set off at 9:30. You take them to Qianyefang for lunch, and then we will continue our journey after they have eaten." Tang Wen said.
Here, Bu Feng was instructed to hire a group of carriages and donkeys. The old people, children and women rode in the carriages or on the donkeys, while the young and middle-aged people walked.
"Tang Wen set off for Koh Samui at 9:30 this morning. However, there are too many people and horses, so it is not convenient to take action." Luo Kaimei hurried in to the Liushan Branch Office of Yanling County and reported to Mo Heizi.
"With the limited manpower he has, can he really trouble the people from the Blood Killing Hall?" Mo Heizi raised his eyebrows and snorted in dissatisfaction.
