Chapter 120 This matter is related to Mr. Ba
Looking at the way these people were dressed, Mo Jiuye suddenly remembered the bandit that Manager Liu mentioned in the inn today.
"The bandits that appeared recently in Xiangyang County weren't you guys, were you?"
Speaking of this, several people scratched their heads in shame.
"To be honest with you, Master Jiu, we did indeed do some things in Xiangyang County, robbing the rich to help the poor."
Mo Jiuye raised his eyebrows and motioned for them to continue.
“When we first arrived here, we planned to wait for Master Jiu on the official road during the day and find an inn to stay in Xiangyang County at night.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after arriving here, we heard that there were several wealthy families in Xiangyang City who, relying on the money in their hands, were doing some unkind things.
We have nothing to do here all day, so we thought about doing something for the people, and that’s how the story got spread outside.”
Mo Jiuye couldn't help but laugh: "There really are some of you guys. I heard that you scared many foreign merchants away from doing business in Xiangyang City, so much so that the inn I'm staying at today is about to close down."
Hearing this, Liang Hao and others found it a little unbelievable.
"No way? We only stole a few times, and it's been several days since we last did anything.
If Song Chao hadn't said he couldn't sleep today, we wouldn't have come out. I didn't expect it would be such a coincidence to meet you, Master Jiu. "
Mo Jiuye looked at the sky. He had been chasing after He Zhiran for almost half an hour. He knew that He Zhiran would be worried about him, so he didn't plan to stay here any longer.
"I'm staying at the inn you just passed. Tomorrow morning the officials will go out to purchase some supplies and then continue on their journey."
Seeing that Mo Jiuye was about to leave, Li Mingrui quickly reminded Liang Hao: "We still have something very important to tell Master Jiu."
Mo Jiuye looked at Liang Hao and asked, "What's going on?"
"Nineth Master, this matter is related to Eighth Master."
Mo Jiuye frowned: "Are you talking about my eight-brother?"
Liang Hao nodded: "Yes, when we first heard about the incident at the Mo family, we thought of the tombs of the old Duke and the Eighth Master that were still there. We were worried that the court would send people to destroy them, so we planned to go over and check them out first.
When we arrived, we found that the tomb of the Eighth Master had been dug up, the lid of the coffin was open, and there was nothing inside.
We went there ten days ago to inspect it, and it was fine then, so I can conclude that Mr. Ba's tomb has been dug up for no more than ten days."
This news was shocking to Mo Jiuye.
It was hard enough to accept that his father and brother sacrificed their lives for the country, and now mynah bird's grave had been dug up. He couldn't understand what the purpose of the gravedigger was.
"Did you continue to investigate this matter?"
Liang Hao nodded. "Since we discovered that the Eighth Lord's tomb had been dug up, my brothers and I have been going back to check almost every day, but we haven't found any clues. Even after we left, the tombs of the old Duke and the other seven lords were still intact."
Mo Jiuye took a deep breath, and some memories about the starling appeared in his mind.
The eighth brother Mo Chuhan had the accident on the same day as the sixth and seventh brothers. At that time, he was leading the army to guard another city gate.
When the bodies of the three brothers were carried back, they were unrecognizable and their identities could only be identified by the clothes they were wearing.
Mo Jiuye was heartbroken at the time, and there were new wars to face, so he tidied up and buried his brothers.
If he remembered correctly, there was blood on the starling's legs when it was buried, which made him think for a moment that the starling was not dead.
However, after several military doctors confirmed that the starling was dead, Mo Jiuye dispelled his doubts.
Thinking of this, he asked Liang Hao and others: "Did you see any blood in the coffin of the starling?"
Liang Hao shook his head: "No, the inside of the Eighth Master's coffin was very clean. I was wondering at the time, the Eighth Master had been buried for many years, why was there not even a piece of rotten cloth left in the coffin?"
Mo Jiuye felt that countless doubts arose in his mind.
According to Liang Hao's statement, the coffin should not be the one used to bury the starling.
Also, why did the gravedigger only dig up the starling's grave?
What was the purpose of the gravedigger taking away the starling and his original coffin?
Questions appeared in Mo Jiuye's mind one after another, making him feel suffocated.
Mo Jiuye had already made up his mind. After arriving in the northwest and settling his family, he planned to investigate personally.
He raised his eyes and looked at the few people: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early. Tomorrow you can follow the situation as you see fit."
Liang Hao and others didn't know why Jiu Ye was so anxious to urge them to leave, but they didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, we'll wait for Master Jiu outside the city gate tomorrow."
Mo Jiuye said "hmm" and jumped up using light skills. Soon, his figure disappeared from the sight of several people.
Inside the inn.
He Zhiran thought that someone from Nanrui had appeared, so Mo Jiuye chased after him.
Seeing that he had been out for so long and had not returned, He Zhiran was worried that he might be in danger, so he decided to go out and look for him.
As soon as I opened the door, I bumped into Mo Jiuye who was rushing back.
Mo Jiuye instinctively reached out and held the person in his arms, saying softly, "Be careful."
He Zhiran pulled the man into the house.
"Where have you been? Did Nanrui send someone?"
Mo Jiuye pushed He Zhiran onto the chair and touched her head.
"No, the ones who came are our own..."
Next, Mo Jiuye told He Zhiran everything about Liang Hao and others appearing in Xiangyang County.
After hearing this, He Zhiran had the same question in his mind as Mo Jiuye.
Unfortunately, when she was reading history books, she did not see more records about other members of the Mohist school.
Especially after Mo Jiuye died in exile, there was no mention of anyone related to the Mohist school in history books.
Therefore, she could not determine the real reason why Mo Chuhan's grave was dug up.
Although this matter was puzzling, both of them knew that there was nothing they could do at the moment.
He could only do as Mo Jiuye thought, after arriving in the northwest, he would settle his family and then go to the border.
The two talked for a while and then lay back on the bed.
The next morning, He Zhiran went out with the officials to purchase supplies.
In order to guard against Nanrui sending people to assassinate him, Mo Jiuye took the initiative to stay behind to protect his family's safety this time, and only He Zhiran went out to purchase.
When they arrived at the market, the official took the initiative to separate from He Zhiran.
He Zhiran felt that it was more cost-effective to buy supplies on Taobao, and he followed the officials out on this trip to cover up his tracks.
Therefore, she drove the mule cart directly to a deserted place and bought the corresponding supplies on Taobao.
Feeling that the time was almost up, she led the mule cart to meet the officers.
