After appeaseing the girls, Xifeng and Ji Qian stayed in Guixiang Tower to take charge, while Lin Mo took Qiu Yun, Jin Xiangyu and Xiaoying to leave Guixiang Tower and embarked on the way back to the city.

The reason why Xifeng was left behind was not that Lin Mo did not trust Ji Qian, and was afraid that Ji Qian and others would secretly conceal a batch of money, but that "Ghost Market" and there might be some powerful practitioners hidden in the Guixiang Tower, and they always need a great practitioner to take charge.

Behind Lin Mo was a team of 100 people. This was sent by Ji Qian, who asked them to escort Lin Mo and others back to the palace. Since it was Ji Qian's intention, Lin Mo couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

After leaving Guixiang Tower, Lin Mo found a wreckage outside, with the ground covered with blood. She also collapsed a lot of the house. The soldiers and generals of the security battalion were cleaning the battlefield, cleaning up the bodies and valuable things.

Covering his mouth and nose, the few people walked a few steps before Lin Mo found a fat body, which had no breath and was dragged by two security battalion soldiers, who were the fat man who had previously sold human meat buns.

There was a slight blood mark on his neck, and it seemed that his throat was cut by Xifeng's sword.

After walking a few more steps, Lin Mo saw a wine shop. In addition to the smell of blood, there was also a faint smell of wine. Lin Mo immediately smiled at the corner of his lips, and finally he knew why the old man under the moon appeared here.

The smell of the wine, Lin Mo had smelled before, was the smell of Hanjiang Jiushi. Although Hanjiang Jiushi is not as clear and mellow as "Moon Brew", it is also a rare top-quality wine.

Since there was fine wine, Lin Mo didn't find it strange that the old man under the moon appeared here.

After leaving the "Ghost Market", on the way back to the city, under the gloomy moonlight, Jin Xiangyu was like a bird that was extremely happy, breathing the fresh air that had been missing for a long time, and her steps were extremely light.

Jin Xiangyu has not taken a step forward in Guixiang Tower for more than ten years and is like house arrest. Now he has finally come out, full of curiosity about the outside world, and even the grass and tree are novel.

The fresh wind and the rustling flowing water of the cold river woven into a beautiful chapter of music with the light cry of the animals at night, which came into Lin Mo's ears and washed Jin Xiangyu's heart.

Xiao Yingxing was behind, looking at Lin Mo and Jin Xiangyu's various intimate actions, her face was full of disdain, but she was a little respectful to Lin Mo. She didn't expect that Lin Mo would comfort the poor girls in a few words.

Hate is the most powerful driving force.

Lin Mo grabbed the greatest pain in their hearts. Looking at Jin Xiangyu's intimate back snuggling with Lin Mo under the moonlight, Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Xiaoying couldn't help but think in her heart that it would be better if Han Qianyue was not the leader of Yuezong, and if Yuemo and the two sects were not rivals, then Jin Xiangyu would be Han Qianyue's place now.

However, fate is so good that Lin Mo and Han Qianyue have their own different positions. Han Qianyue is still the future queen of Chu, and they are destined to have a sword and sword shadow in the future.

Bathed in the sun, returning to the street, and after parting with Xiaoying, Lin Mo placed Jin Xiangyu in an inn and left the team of 100 people in the inn, which was considered to be a care for Jin Xiangyu's safety.

This scared the inn owner. He once met the guest who was throwing the inn and was guarded by the security battalion soldiers. He was very respectful to Jin Xiangyu, which greatly satisfied Jin Xiangyu's vanity.

The reason why Jin Xiangyu was placed in the inn was because Lin Mo did not dare and could not bring her back to Lin's mansion. If she took her back, Yan Baiyu would definitely settle the score with her. Moreover, Jin Xiangyu's significance to Lin Mo was somewhat different.

Lin Mo was very sure that Jin Xiangyu didn't love herself, and perhaps she didn't like herself either. She just had a strong dependence on herself, a dependence on her sense of survival and security, and a dependence on money and material things.

Over the years, Jin Xiangyu has been living under the wrapping of money and material things, and has developed a strong sense of vanity. This is also the reason why Jin Xiangyu has not waited for an opportunity to escape from Guixiang Tower for so many years.

Therefore, Lin Mo would not bring her into the Lin Mansion. Such a woman is more suitable for being an outsider.

This kind of woman is easy to control for Lin Mo now. As long as she gives her what she wants and meets everything she needs, she can do her best to do her job for herself and take over Tang Yunu in the future to manage the Qinlou Chuguan business.

After having dinner with Jin Xiangyu, Lin Mo parted her and returned directly to Lin's mansion.

It was almost four o'clock when he returned to Lin's mansion (22:00), and the four girls of Yan Baiyu were chatting in the main house. Lin Mo went in and briefly told them about what happened in Guixiang Tower.

As for Jin Xiangyu, Lin Mo naturally honestly explained that Jin Xiangyu will appear in Zuisheng Building in the future and finally take over Zuisheng Building. Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be hidden.

Surprisingly, after listening to Jin Xiangyu's incident, the four girls Yan Baiyu just warned Lin Mo not to take her out of the Lin Mansion. The girls didn't say anything and accepted Jin Xiangyu's existence.

In fact, the four women of Yan Baiyu accepted Jin Xiangyu's existence so simply. Lin Mo thought about it for a moment and it was not surprising that he knew why, but for Tang Yunu.

The four girls of Yan Baiyu felt that Tang Yunu had done so many things for Lin Mo and endured so many grievances. She was already twenty-eight years old. She should go to the mansion to have children for Lin Mo and live a peaceful life with her husband and children.

As for the second, Lin Mo's fickleness, they knew that they could not stop him, and at the same time they knew that Lin Mo would not misjudgment, and that Jin Xiangyu would definitely be able to manage the business of Qinlou Chuguan in the Qinlou and Chuguan.

After chatting for about half an hour, they each dispersed. After a simple bath, Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu had a good rain and then fell asleep with the quiet moonlight.

The next day, Lin Mo got up very early because he decided to go to the morning court this morning. Such a big incident happened to Guixiang Tower last night, which had already alarmed the court and the people. Lin Mo could not hide now.

In addition, in the west direction of the imperial capital Qiantian City last night, at dawn, fires soared into the sky. The people in the imperial capital were probably circulating and talking a lot.

At this time, Lin Mo should stand up and explain some things so that Emperor Daqian and the Daqian court can give an explanation to the people in the imperial capital so that they can know what happened.

Under Yan Baiyu's service, Lin Mo put on his purple crown and uniform that belonged to him, first-class Shangqing of Daqian, put on the seven-beam crown and hat, and tied the snow quilt and cloak. He kissed Yan Baiyu's forehead and went out.

The moment he opened the door, a cold wind immediately came, Lin Mo shivered immediately, subconsciously tightened the snow quilt and cloak on his body, and then stepped on the snowy front yard and left.

The snow on the ground was getting thicker. Perhaps it was because of another snowfall after Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu fell asleep last night.

When he came to the front yard and looked at the rocking chair in the courtyard, Lin Mo remembered Liu Ruoshui again. He had not seen her for almost half a month and found that he was missing her more and more. He temporarily threw Liu Ruoshui away from his head and stepped out of the Lin Mansion with a respectful gaze and salute. As soon as he stepped out of the Lin Mansion gate, Lin Mo saw Ji Qian and Xi Feng Qiuyun's figures.

Behind the three were hundreds of security battalions, as well as hundreds of carriages with boxes and round straw mats. It seemed that they were all retrieved from Guixiang Tower.

Seeing Lin Mo come out, everyone hurriedly gave a big gift.

After performing the ceremony, Ji Qian took a few steps forward and brought out two booklets and presented them to Lin Mo: "Sir Shangqing, one records everything I found yesterday, and the other records the detailed status of the ransom."

Lin Mo took the two booklets and was slightly shocked. Unexpectedly, Ji Qian was so efficient that he solved everything in one night. It seemed that he was really a decisive person.

When Lin Mo opened the booklet with detailed ransom status, he took a rough look and found that there were about 5 million golden leaves in total. It seemed that nearly a hundred people went to Guixiang Tower last night.

After closing the booklet, Lin Mo asked, "All the people in Guixiang Tower have redeemed it? Oh, by the way, there is also Ling Hai, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites. How is he doing? And those girls?"

Ji Qian replied respectfully: "The girls in the building have left, and their subordinates have given them enough silver and copper leaves to hang out. At this time, they should be on their way home. Ling Hai has been secretly detained by his subordinates in the prison of the security camp."

"Well done, I'll feel relieved." Lin Mo smiled faintly, fell behind, and the atmosphere was silent for a while, but he didn't hear Ji Qian answer his third question, so he asked again.

"Have all the guests who went to Guixiang Tower last night redeemed?"

When Ji Qian heard Lin Mo ask this question again, he looked embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Qian replied accordingly: "Reporting to Lord Shangqing, I am ashamed. There were 128 guests who went to Guixiang Tower yesterday, but only 96 were redeemed."

Lin Mo opened the booklet containing the details of the ransom again and found that it really recorded the situation of ninety-six people, but he did not have the idea of ​​blaming Ji Qian for his poor work.

Lin Mo naturally did not ask why he was not redeemed.

Lin Mo didn't ask about the thirty-two people who were not redeemed, and he knew roughly what the reason was. It might be that the ransom was too high, and those people could not afford it, or that their families refused to give it to them.

In any family of gentry, there is more than one son or the like. The other 50,000 gold leaves are not a small number. The other sons are unwilling to redeem those people and compete with them for their property.

"Then General Ji, how did you deal with those who have not been redeemed?"

Ji Qian bowed and replied, "Reported to the Lord Shangqing, my subordinates had already agreed with them, so I let them go. My subordinates make their own decisions and ask my subordinates to forgive me."

"It's okay, Chief Ji." Lin Mo smiled and held Ji Qian's body that was about to bow: "I will not blame you. Now I want to know more about what conditions did Chief Ji talk to them about."

At that time, Lin Mo left Xifeng there to stay. Since Ji Qian was able to successfully let those who had not been redeemed, he must have asked Xifeng and got Xifeng's nodding and agreed.

Ji Qian said that he was making his own decisions, but he was just stopping the blame and not wanting to drag down Xi Feng. How could Lin Mo blame Yu Ji Qian for such a kind and righteous behavior?
