Chapter 51 Tent

"Yes, if we analyze it from the eunuch's perspective, it is really not easy to find the real mastermind behind the scenes." This is the same idea as He Zhiran, who feels that it is not easy to find the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Both of them knew that the few clues Li Hu gave were not enough to find the real mastermind behind the scenes.

However, I really don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to find an informant around me shortly after leaving the capital.

Thinking of this, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye fell into deep thought.

After a long time, He Zhiran finally expressed his analysis.

"Li Hu caused Zhou Laoba to fall into the water, and he had several accomplices behind the scenes helping him.

Moreover, when the police rushed to pull Zhou Laoba out of the river, he was not carrying anyone on his back, and many people were watching.

I believe Li Hu's accomplices will definitely see this.

I saved Zhou Laoba in public, and Li Hu's failure was completely exposed.

Someone among them will definitely report the matter to their superiors and ask for advice on how to deal with it.

I think once Li Hu's superiors know what's happened to him, they'll probably send someone to silence him."

Hearing this, Mo Jiuye took a deep breath.

"You mean, we should follow Li Hu's lead and find out who's behind it?"

He Zhiran nodded: "I do have this idea, but with our current status, I'm afraid it won't be very convenient to move."

"The problem of taking action is not that big of a problem. I have my own way. However, I have already been convicted. Even if I find the person who truly wants to harm the Mo family, what will I be able to do?"

He Zhiran could hear that there was a hint of self-abandonment in Mo Jiuye's words.

"With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to take revenge, right?

And I suspect that the person behind Li Hu is most likely the same person who hired someone to poison the Mohist school."

After being reminded like this, Mo Jiuye's mind suddenly became clear, but at the same time, infinite hatred and injustice surged in his heart.

"You make sense. I'll find a way to get out tonight and keep an eye on Li Hu."

Seeing that Mo Jiuye had figured it out, He Zhiran went out to continue making tents with the women.

As soon as she came out of the house, she saw several officers tying up Li Hu and pushing him out of the inn.

Li Hu's mouth was blocked by a rag and he could not shout. He could only look at the officers with pleading eyes.

The relationship between the officers and Zhou Laoba is not comparable to that of Li Hu, who has only been there for half a year.

After seeing that Zhou Laoba was almost killed by him, he hated Li Hu to the extreme. How could he be merciful to him?

Seeing that Li Hu was not behaving himself, Zhang Qing raised his foot and kicked him on the butt.

"Behave yourself. When you see the county magistrate, beg for mercy however you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw He Zhiran.

Zhang Qing did not show off to He Zhiran as he did in the past, but nodded to her gratefully.

He Zhiran also nodded.

Based on her understanding of some situations in ancient times, the county magistrate usually tried various cases in the morning, and it was almost evening now.

It is estimated that Li Hu was sent to the county government office and temporarily detained in the jail. He will not be interrogated until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Therefore, He Zhiran guessed that tonight was the best time to silence Li Hu.

Thinking of this, she hurried back to the room and told Mo Jiuye again that Li Hu was sent to the county government office by the officials, as well as her own analysis.

Mo Jiuye said that he would manage his time well.

Although he had never committed murder to silence witnesses, he had heard of some of these dirty things during his many years in officialdom.

Most people would go to the prison to kill people and silence them between the hours of Chou and Yin, because that is when people are most likely to feel sleepy and the guards will be relatively lax.

However, to be on the safe side, Mo Jiuye planned to go there before the hour of Chou.

Now that things were finally arranged clearly, He Zhiran felt much more at ease when doing his work.

The women were able to sew much faster than she had imagined, especially since making tents did not require very dense stitches.

When He Zhiran arrived at the production site, she was surprised to find that the women had already made several finished products.

However, they haven't figured out how to use the tent yet, so they are neatly placed aside.

Seeing He Zhiran coming over, Mo Hanyue said excitedly: "Sister-in-law Jiu, look, my tent is almost done."

As he spoke, Mo Hanyue tied a knot in the thread that had just come out from the corner of the oilcloth, then cut it off, stood up and handed the tent he had made to He Zhiran.

He Zhiran just wanted to see if the tent he designed was successful.

She opened the tent in front of everyone.

The tent is in the simplest pyramid shape, and the frame is bamboo poles.

Several hemp ropes are hung from the top of the tent, and the other end of the hemp ropes are tied with thicker bamboo sections, which can be buried in the soil to fix the tent.

Although this tent looks simple, it is practical.

When the women saw He Zhiran set up the tent, they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Sister-in-law Jiu, I was just wondering what the tent you mentioned was used for. Now it seems that this is just a small house, isn't it?"

Mo Hanyue was so excited that such a nice "house" was made by her own hands.

Seeing Mo Hanyue smiling foolishly there, He Zhiran felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to call it a house, but it's good for sheltering from the wind and rain."

The women from the Xie and Fang families looked at the Mo family with envy.

From now on, when they spend the night in the wild, they no longer have to rest facing the sky.

Although He's behavior is not proper, he is indeed very smart and can even come up with such an idea.

Zhao held her sister-in-law's hand.

"Ms. Cui, your Mo family is blessed to have such a daughter-in-law."

"That's right. Our ninth sister-in-law is talented in many ways, not just making tents." The second sister-in-law was so happy when she heard her sister-in-law being praised.

In response to the praise, He Zhiran spoke modestly. At the same time, she also saw the Xie and Fang families' desire for tents.

"Aunt Fang, Aunt Xie, this tent is shared by all three of our families. It's absolutely fine if two people share one."

When the Xie and Fang families heard that they also had a share, they were at a loss as to how to express their joy.

He was even more grateful to He Zhiran.

Zhao looked at He Zhiran with gratitude and said sincerely, "When our house was raided, we didn't take anything out. Fortunately, we had the help of you and the Mo family.

Now I have figured it out. Since I can no longer live the carefree life I used to, I just have to accept reality.

From now on, our Fang family will follow the Mohist school's lead. I'm putting this here today. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished according to the family rules."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other female members of the Fang family also expressed their willingness to do so.
