Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 93 Meat Pool

   Meat pool!

   A popular 'title' among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.

   In the past, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty used wine as a pool and meat as a forest for drinking in the long night, which was called "wine pool meat forest".

  The name of meat pool comes from this.

  It’s just the ‘meat’ in the meat pond, but it does not describe the meat to eat, but the meaning of handsome men and beautiful women.

  The original meat pool was just a lewd and extravagant aristocratic activity created by some nobles to imitate the "Jiuchi Roulin" for the sake of artyness. A certain nobleman specially cultivated a group of handsome men and beautiful women, and then everyone had fun together.

  Mr. Mo can also understand such a 'meat pool'. After all, it is not wrong to be rich and love to enjoy.

  But I don't know when, the nature of the 'meat pond' has quietly changed.

   Some nobles were not satisfied with spending money to buy slaves for training, but began to use some inferior means to rob women of the people and force them into prostitution.

  Even today, ‘meat pool’ has become another kind of activity...

  ······

  In a basement of the Rong family that was very similar to the Feng Mansion, dozens of children in ragged clothes and distorted figures curled up together, looking at the light that suddenly came in from outside the door, with terrified eyes.

   In a dark corner of the basement, there were still three or four figures lying still, they were already dead bodies.

  Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, which was more shocking than hell, Mo Jun suddenly laughed, and laughed very loudly, his bloodshot red eyes couldn't help but shed tears.

   "Hehe~~hahahaha~~~"

"I was wrong!"

   Jun Mo suddenly spoke softly, as if he was deliberately speaking to the people around him, or as if he was muttering to himself.

   "I had tried my best to underestimate the bottom line of you people, but I found that I was still too naive."

   "I can understand why you hoard food in a strange way. Although your behavior is bad, but in business, in order to make money, there is always a reasonable reason."

   "I can understand your conspiracy to rebel. After all, as the former nobles of the Chu State, I can accept that you have dissent against the Qin State."

   "But I really can't understand your current behavior!"

  Speaking, Mo Jun suddenly turned his head, and showed a ferocious ghostly smile towards Madam Rong, and said slowly: "Ah? Madam Rong, can you please tell me, are you nobles really so short of money?"

   "You nobles are already so poor that you need to traffic people and children. Harvesting and cutting off children, let these children who are only in their teens or even ten years old go out to beg for a living?"

   "I remember that the value of a slave is not high now!"

   "Why...you group of people don't even leave a way of life for these bottom-level refugees?"

   At the end, Mo Jun's voice became softer and his expression became calmer.

  However, the more calm this attitude is, the more awed people around him feel, especially Mrs. Rong, who is standing beside Mo Jun, feels unprecedented panic in her heart.

   Before today.

  She thought she had seen through Mr. Mo.

  Compared to the other three major clans, Madam Rong has never underestimated the new Nanjun Sheriff in front of her due to her cautiousness as a woman.

  Especially after a period of secret investigation, Mrs. Rong discovered that Mo Jun, a young-looking boy, was far from being as simple as other people imagined.

  He is too low-key.

  Since entering Nanjun, Mo Jun is like an invisible man in Nanjun.

  But it was this invisible man who not only lived in Nanjun for such a long time, but even completed a deal with the four major clans.

  Whether it is for the four major clans or Mo Jun himself, all these actions seem to be going smoothly, even a little too smoothly.

Especially in the case of the assassination of the Sheriff's Mansion a year ago, Mo Jun was not only unscathed in the face of assassins from six countries, but even hung the heads of more than a hundred assassins outside the Sheriff's Mansion, which made Mrs. Rong feel Seeing that Mo Jun hid it very deeply.

  So she investigated Mo Jun more deeply, and at the same time became more vigilant.

  The black armored soldiers had just arrived outside the gate of the Rong family tonight, and Mrs. Rong immediately realized that something was wrong, because according to her understanding during this period of time, Mr. Mo is by no means the kind of person who would fight an 'unsure battle'.

  So when the rest of the Rong family put on a posture of 'I want to see what a mere county guard can do to me', Mrs. Rong obeyed on the surface, but secretly drugged all the members of the Rong family decisively.

   After all, if she can hold the power of 'acting head of the family' in her hands, it is naturally impossible for Mrs. Rong to be just a simple woman.

Precisely.

  Three years ago, the current Patriarch of the Rong family was seriously ill, and it was she who did it.

  Furthermore, according to her understanding, although 'rebellion' and 'storage of food and resources to the enemy' are both major crimes, to Mr. Mo, they are actually not much different from ordinary 'decapitation' major crimes.

  Instead, the previous four major clans smuggled armor to help the state of Chu attack and kill Lord Mo, and the crime was even more serious.

  But as an 'outsider' of the Rong family, as long as she keeps the relationship clean enough, she still has a great hope of saving her life and the lives of the Lu family.

   Madam Rong had already calculated everything.

   In the end, I didn't expect that there would be a mistake in the matter of 'meat pool'.

   "Does the Lu family have a meat pond?"

  Mr. Mo's questioning voice was very light, it sounded like an ordinary friend chatting, but Mrs. Rong's expression changed when she heard the questioning, she thought for a few seconds, and was about to explain.

  However, before she could open her mouth, Mo Jun nodded: "I see, the answer seems to be obvious."

   Madam Rong's face suddenly turned pale.

But Mo Jun slowly turned to Li Xin and asked: "General Li, according to the laws of Qin, if you conspire to rebel, privately manufacture armor, abduct and traffic people, harvest and cut off... How will you be sentenced if you count crimes and punish them together?" ?”

  Li Xin said solemnly: "If you come back to your lord, just making armor privately and conspiracy to rebel are enough to punish the barbarians."

  Mr. Mo said slowly: "In that case, what are you waiting for here?"

Li Xin's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help persuading him in a low voice, saying: "My lord, is it better to wait for the king to issue an edict before doing it, this matter is too involved, if you arrest him overnight If so many old nobles are arrested, I am afraid that the entire South County will be plunged into turmoil."

  Mr. Mo gave him a cold look, and said, "I will bear all the consequences."

"yes!"

  Hearing the determination in Mo Jun's words, Li Xin's face changed, and he didn't hesitate any more. He responded, and then led a group of black armored soldiers out.

  Mr. Mo and Li Xin are not on the same level. Although the two have different official positions, both civil and military, but other than that, Mr. Mo is above Li Xin in terms of military rank, connections in the army, and reputation in the army.

  In addition to the management of the flood in Nanjun, Mo Jun was the commander-in-chief personally ordered by the king, so if Mo Jun forced the order, Li Xin would not have the power to refuse.

   "Send someone to take these children back to the county guard's mansion, and let the drug ghosts try their best to treat them, and they can use any medicine."

   "Then find someone to draw a portrait and see if their family members come to claim it. If someone claims it, ask them to take the child back. Remember, you must confirm the identity of the claimant."

   "As for the unclaimed ones, I will adopt them first."

  Mr. Mo originally planned to go in to comfort the children inside, but he finally gave up the idea when he thought of the reaction he saw those children in the Feng family.

  Many of these people's spirits have already collapsed in the endless torture, without several years of recuperation, it may be difficult to recover.

  Go in now, no matter what you say, it will only stimulate them.

  So Mo Jun simply arranged the next processing tasks, and was about to leave this place first, but before he left, he suddenly thought of something and said another sentence.

   "In addition, the collateral blood of the Rong family can give them a good time. As for the direct blood, don't kill them first, understand?"

   "Yes, the subordinate understands."

  Seeing Mo Jun's indifferent eyes, everyone present was shocked.

Judging from Mo Jun's current actions, it is obvious that Mo Jun, who has already wiped out the three major clans, cannot be a soft-hearted person, so since the purpose of keeping those direct bloodlines is not to let them go, then it can only be to make them suffer even more. torture.

  Although the criminal law of the Qin State may not be as good as the Ten Torture Tortures of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in later generations, there are still many types of criminal laws today.

   After turning around.

  Jun Mo shot out suddenly, his five fingers were like sharp eagle claws, piercing through Madam Rong's chest in an instant.

   Madam Rong stared in astonishment, looked down at the arm piercing through her heart, and opened her mouth in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why.

   "What a pity, Mrs. Rong."

"If you and the Lu family are only involved in 'storage of grain' and 'conspiracy', maybe I can let you go, after all, you are undoubtedly a talented person to be able to do this now as a daughter. And it happened to be a talent that I was in short supply."

   "Unfortunately, there are some mistakes in this world, even I can hardly find a reason to let you go."

  poof~

  Jun Mo withdrew his right hand, and Mrs. Rong's eyes gradually lost their light, and she fell to the ground powerlessly.

   For Mrs. Rong, Mo Jun really feels a bit regretful, after all, his [Xiongchumo Chamber of Commerce] still lacks a top business talent to sit in it.

  But unfortunately, even with Mo Jun's character, not everyone is willing to use it.

  As the eldest lady of the Lu family and the "acting head" of the Rong family, if Mrs. Rong had no involvement in the matter of "Rouchi", I'm afraid no one would believe it.

   What's more, even if she didn't personally take over the 'meat pool' business, the food Mrs. Rong ate every day and every penny she spent was full of the ghosts of those dead children.

  If she is let go, it will be difficult for Mo Jun to guarantee that he will sleep at night in the future and will not have nightmares because of it.

   It was already midnight when I walked out of the basement.

   Above the treetops.

  A cold crescent moon hangs on the branches.

  The scenery tonight is beautiful, but it's a pity that Mo Jun doesn't have the mood to appreciate it.

   "Inspect the granary first, wait... huh?"

  Suddenly, Mo Jun, who was arranging the action of the black armored soldiers, paused slightly, and vaguely sensed that someone was watching him, but when he turned his head, he didn't see anyone.

   In a trance.

  Only a few strands of long purple hair flashed away under the waning moon.

   "Sir, do you need me to check?"

  Jian Jiuyuan, Zhuyeqing, and Jiu Jianchi have all followed the black armored soldiers to the "Three Yi Clans", and Hei Yu is the only one beside Mo Jun in this matter.

  Hearing Hei Yu's words, Mo Jun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No need, let's settle the matter at hand first!"
