Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

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 pond and meat as a forest for long nights of drinking. He called it a "wine pond and meat forest."

The name of the meat pond comes from this.

It's just that the "meat" in the meat pool does not describe the meat to be eaten, but the meaning of handsome men and beautiful women.

The original meat pool was just a debauched and extravagant aristocratic activity created by some nobles to imitate the "wine pool and meat forest" in order to be fashionable. A certain noble specially trained a group of handsome men and beauties, and then everyone had fun together.

Mr. Mo can also understand such a "meat pool". After all, it is not wrong to have money and like to enjoy. He also likes to enjoy. Even if the private lives of these nobles are a little more debauched, it is not a big deal.

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

Some nobles began to be dissatisfied with spending money to acquire slaves for training. Instead, they began to use despicable means to rob civilian girls and force good girls into prostitution.

Even now that it has developed, the ‘Meat Pond’ has completely turned into another activity...

······

In a basement of the Rong family that was very similar to the Feng Mansion, dozens of children in ragged clothes and twisted bodies huddled together, looking at the light that suddenly came in from outside the door, and their eyes suddenly showed fear.

There were still three or four figures lying in a dark corner of the basement. They were no longer moving. They were corpses that had already died.

Seeing the miserable situation in front of him that was more shocking than hell, Mo Jun suddenly laughed, and he laughed so loudly that his bloodshot red eyes could not even hold back tears.

"Haha~~Hahahaha~~~"

"I was wrong!"

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

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

"I can understand that you are hoarding food for a living. Although your behavior is bad, in business, in order to make money, there is always a reasonable reason."

"I can understand your rebellion. After all, as former aristocrats of the Chu State, I can also accept your dissent towards the Qin State."

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

As he said that, Mr. Mo suddenly turned his head, showed a ferocious smile like a devil at Madam Rong, and said slowly: "Ah? Madam Rong, can you please tell me, are you nobles really so short of money?"

"Are you nobles so poor that you have to resort to human trafficking, child trafficking, harvesting and harvesting, and letting these children who are only teenagers or even less than ten years old go out to beg to survive?"

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

"Why... why don't you people even leave a way to survive for these lowest-level refugees?"

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

However, the calmer his attitude was, the more people around him felt in awe, especially Mrs. Rong, who was standing next to Mr. Mo, who felt unprecedented panic in her heart.

before today.

She thought she had seen through Mr. Mo.

Compared to the other three major clans, Mrs. Rong's caution as a woman never underestimated the new Nanjun Sheriff in front of her.

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

He is too low-key.

Since entering Nanjun, Mr. Mo is like an invisible person in Nanjun.

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

No matter for the four major clans or Lord Mo himself, all these actions seemed to go smoothly, even a little too smoothly.

Especially the assassination of the Sheriff's Mansion a year ago. Faced with the attack by assassins from the Six Nations, Mr. Mo not only remained unscathed, but even hung the heads of more than a hundred assassins outside the Sheriff's Mansion, which made Mrs. Rong feel... Until Mo Jun hides it very deeply.

So she investigated Mr. Mo deeper and became more vigilant.

Tonight, the black-armored soldiers had just arrived outside the gate of the Rong clan. Madam Rong immediately realized that something was wrong, because based on what she had learned during this period, Mr. Mo was definitely not the kind of person who would fight an 'unsure battle'.

Therefore, when the rest of the Rong clan acted like, "I want to see what a mere county guard can do to me," Mrs. Rong was obedient on the surface, but secretly decisively drugged all the Rong clan members.

After all, being able to hold the power of 'acting head of the family' in her hands, Mrs. Rong cannot be just a simple woman.

Precisely.

It was her fault that the current head of the Rong family became seriously ill three years ago.

And according to her understanding, although 'rebellion' and 'gathering grain to support the enemy' are both major crimes, for Mr. Mo, they are actually not much different from the ordinary major crime of 'decapitation'.

However, the previous crime of the four major clans smuggling armor and helping the Chu State to attack Lord Mo was even more serious.

But as an 'outsider' to the Rong family, as long as she kept her relationship clean enough, she still had a great chance of saving her life and that of the Lu family.

It turned out that Mrs. Rong had already calculated everything.

In the end, I didn't expect that something would go wrong regarding the 'Meat Pond'.

"Does the Lu family have a meat pond?"

Mo Jun asked in a very soft voice, sounding like an ordinary chat between friends. However, Mrs. Rong's face changed with shock when she heard the question. She thought for a few seconds and was about to explain.

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

Mrs. Rong's face suddenly turned pale.

Lord Mo slowly turned around and asked Li Xin: "General Li, according to Qin law, he conspired to rebel, privately made armor, trafficked people, harvested and cut animals... If several crimes are punished at the same time, what will be the sentence?" ?”

Li Xin said solemnly: "My lord, just making armor privately and treason are enough to punish the Yi tribe."

Mo Jun said slowly: "In that case, why are you waiting here?"

Li Xin's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but whisper a word of advice, saying: "Sir, is it better to wait until the king issues an edict before taking action? This matter is too involved. If we arrest him overnight, If we arrest so many old nobles, I’m afraid the entire South County will fall into turmoil.”

Mo Jun glanced at him coldly and said, "I will bear the consequences of this."

"yes!"

Hearing the determination in Mr. Mo's words, Li Xin's expression changed, he immediately stopped hesitating, responded, and then led a group of black-armored soldiers out.

The status of Lord Mo and Li Xin are not equal. Although their official positions are not equal in civil and military positions, other than that, Lord Mo is superior to Li Xin in terms of military title, connections in the army, and reputation in the army.

In addition, Lord Mo is the king's personal commander in controlling the flood in Nanjun, so if Lord Mo imposes an order, Li Xin will not refuse the power.

"Send someone to take these children back to the county governor's house, and let the medicine ghosts do their best to treat them. Any medicine they can use can be used."

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

"As for those that are not claimed, I will adopt them first."

Mo Jun originally planned to go in and comfort the children inside, but after thinking about the reactions of the children he saw in the Feng clan before, he finally gave up the idea.

Many of these people's spirits have collapsed due to endless torture. Without several years of recovery, it may be difficult to recover.

If you go in now, no matter what you say, it will only irritate them.

So Mr. Mo simply arranged the next processing tasks and prepared to leave here first, but before leaving, he suddenly thought of something and said something else.

"In addition, the collateral bloodlines of the Rong family can give them a happy life. As for those direct bloodlines, don't kill them yet. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

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

Judging from Lord Mo's actions so far, Lord Mo, who has destroyed three major clans, is obviously not a merciful person. Therefore, since leaving those direct bloodlines is not to let them go, it can only be to make them suffer even more. torture.

Although the criminal law of Qin may not be as good as the top ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, there are still many types of criminal laws at present.

After turning around.

Mo Jun suddenly took action, his fingers like sharp eagle claws, instantly piercing Mrs. Rong's chest.

Madam Rong's eyes were stunned. She looked down at the arm that penetrated her heart. She 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 'grain farming' and 'rebellion', maybe I can let you go. After all, you are undoubtedly a talent to be able to do this with a daughter at the moment. And he happens to be a talent that I am in short supply of.”

"But unfortunately, there are some mistakes in this world. Even I can't find a reason to let you go."

Phew~

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

Mr. Mo does feel a bit sorry for Mrs. Rong. After all, his [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] still lacks a top business talent to take charge.

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

As the eldest lady of the Lu family and the 'acting head' of the Rong family, if Mrs. Rong has no involvement at all in the matter of the 'Meat Pond', I'm afraid no one will believe it.

What's more, even if she didn't personally take over the matter of the 'meat pool', the food Mrs. Rong eats every day and every penny she spends is covered with the ghosts of those dead children.

If he lets her go, it will be difficult for Mo Jun to guarantee that he will not have nightmares when he sleeps at night in the future.

When I walked out of the basement, it was already midnight.

Above the treetops.

A cold waning moon hung on the branches.

The scenery tonight is very good, but it's a pity that Mr. Mo has no intention to appreciate it.

"Check the granary first and wait... eh?"

Suddenly, Mr. Mo, who was arranging the actions of the black-armored soldiers, paused slightly, vaguely aware that someone was peeping at him, but when he turned around, he did not see anyone.

In a daze.

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

"Sir, do you need me to check it out?"

Jian Jiuyuan, Zhu Yeqing, and Jiu Jianchi have all followed the black-armored soldiers to go to the 'Yi Tribe'. At this time, only Heiyu was by Mr. Mo's side.

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