Seeing the dressing of several people, Mo Jiuye suddenly remembered what Liu boss said about the great robber Jiang Yang in the inn today.
"Are you guys the great robber Jiang Yang who recently appeared in Xiangyang County?"
Speaking of this, several people were somewhat ashamed to scratch their heads.
"Don't hide it from Master Jiu, we did some robbing the rich and helping the poor in Xiangyang County."
Mo Jiuye raised his eyebrows, motioning them to continue.
"When we first came here, we were going to wait for Master on the official road during the day and find an inn in Xiangyang County at night.
Who knew, after being here for a few days, we heard that there were several wealthy families in Xiangyang City who, relying on the money in their hands, did some unkind things.
We have nothing to do here all day, so we wanted to do something for the common people. That's how things spread outside happened."
Mo Jiuye couldn’t help but laugh: "You guys are really something. I heard that you scared away so many foreign merchants that they didn't even dare to come to Xiangyang City to do business, so the inn I stayed in today can’t even stay open."
Hearing this, Liang Hao and others felt a little unbelievable.
"No way? We only robbed a few times, and we haven't done anything for a good few days now. If Song Chao hadn't said he couldn't sleep today, we wouldn't have gone out either. I didn't expect to meet Master so coincidentally tonight."
Mo Jiuye looked at the sky. He had been out chasing for nearly half an hour. He knew He Zhiran must be worried about him, so he didn’t intend to stay here any longer.
"I'm staying at the inn you just passed. The officials will go out tomorrow morning to purchase some supplies and then continue on their way."
Seeing that Mo Jiuye was about to leave, Li Mingrui hurriedly reminded Liang Hao: "We still have very important things to tell Master."
Mo Jiuye asked, "What is it in the end?"
"Master, this matter is related to Eighth Master."
Mo Jiuye frowned. "You mean my eighth brother?"
Liang Hao nodded: "Yes. When we first heard about the Mo family incident, we thought of the tombs of the old Prime Minister and the eight masters there, afraid that the court would send someone to destroy them, so we decided to go and take a look first.
When we got there, we found that Eighth Master’s tomb had been dug open, the coffin lid was open, and there was nothing inside.
We patrolled there ten days ago and everything was fine then. So I can determine that Eighth Master’s tomb was dug open no more than ten days ago."
This news was shocking to Mo Jiuye.
It was already difficult to accept that his father and brothers died in service of the country. And now his eighth brother's tomb was dug up again. He couldn’t figure out why the grave robbers did this.
"Did you guys continue investigating this matter later?"
Liang Hao nodded: "Since discovering that Eighth Master’s tomb had been dug up, we came back almost every day to check it out but found no clues. Until we left there, the tombs of the old Prime Minister and the other seven masters were still intact. "
Mo Jiuye gasped. Some memories of his eighth brother appeared in his mind.
His eighth brother Mo Chuhan was with his sixth and seventh brothers when the incident happened. At that time, he was leading his troops to guard another city gate.
When the corpses of the three elder brothers were carried back, they were already mutilated beyond recognition. They could only be identified by their clothing.
Mo Jiuye was heartbroken at the time. But there were still new battles to face. After arranging the funeral, he buried his elder brothers.
If he remembered correctly, when Eighth Brother was encoffined, there was still blood flowing from his leg, which made Mo Jiuye suspect for a moment that Eighth Brother had not died.
However, after being diagnosed by many army doctors, it was determined that Eighth Brother was already dead, so Mo Jiuye dismissed his doubts.
Thinking of this, he asked Liang Hao: "Did you see any bloodstains in Eighth Master's coffin?"
Liang Hao shook his head: "No, Eighth Master’s coffin was very clean. At that time I wondered why there was not even a rotten piece of clothing left in the coffin when Eighth Master had been buried for many years?"
Mo Jiuye felt countless doubts arose in his mind.
According to Liang Hao's statement, that coffin should not be the one used to encoffin Eighth Brother back then.
Also, why did the tomb robbers only dig up Eighth Brother’s tomb?
What was the purpose of the tomb robbers taking away Eighth Brother and his original coffin?
One question after another appeared in Mo Jiuye's mind, making him feel breathless.
Mo Jiuye had made up his mind that after settling his family in the northwest, he would personally investigate this matter.
He looked up at the people: "It's getting late, go back and rest early. Just follow along if needed tomorrow."
Liang Hao and the others didn’t know why Master was in such a hurry to urge them to leave, but they didn’t ask much.
"Okay, we’ll wait for Master outside the city gate tomorrow."
Mo Jiuye nodded with a "hmm", and with lightness skill he jumped up and disappeared from their sight quickly.
In the inn.
He Zhiran thought that it was Nan Rui's men who had appeared, so Mo Jiuye chased them.
Seeing that he had been gone for so long without returning, He Zhiran was worried that he might be in danger, so she decided to go out and look for him.
Just as she pushed open the door, she bumped into Mo Jiuye who was rushing back.
Mo Jiuye instinctively put his arms around the person and said gently, "Be careful."
He Zhiran dragged him into the room.
"Where have you been? Was it Nan Rui who sent someone?"
Mo Jiuye pressed He Zhiran onto a chair and stroked her head casually.
"No, it was our own people ..."
Next, Mo Jiuye told He Zhiran all the details about Liang Hao and the others appearing in Xiangyang County.
After listening, He Zhiran had the same questions in her mind as Mo Jiuye.
Unfortunately, when she had read history books before, she did not find more records about other people in the Mo family.
Especially after Mo Jiuye died on the way to exile, the history books did not mention anything related to the Mo family.
Therefore, she could not determine the real reason why Mo Chuhan's tomb was dug up.
Although this matter was puzzling, they both knew that there was nothing they could do about it at the moment.
As Mo Jiuye had thought, after arriving in the northwest, they could make a trip to the frontier after settling their family.
After talking for a while, the two went back to bed.
Early the next morning, He Zhiran went out with the officials to purchase supplies.
To guard against Nan Rui sending assassins, Mo Jiuye took the initiative to stay behind this time to protect the safety of the family, with only He Zhiran going out alone.
When they arrived at the market, the officials took the initiative to separate from He Zhiran.
He Zhiran felt it was still more cost-effective to buy supplies on Taobao, and she only went out with the officials this time to cover people’s eyes and ears.
Therefore, she led the mule cart directly to a deserted place and bought the corresponding supplies on Taobao.
Feeling it was about time, she led the mule cart to meet up with the officials.
