"The merits you have made this time will not be counted with you for now. When you are admitted as a scholar, I will make some connections and tally them with you." Sun Shouren held a roll of merit books in his hand and was counting them one by one.

Military achievements are calculated extremely carefully, and every head must have precise provenance.

This is just to suppress bandits. If it is a war, there will be a supervising team to calculate the military merits together.

"I will listen to my adoptive father's orders." Chen Mo had no objection to this.

He has no meritorious status now, and the merits he has made can at most earn him some money and be promoted to one or two official positions, but it is impossible to obtain a high-level official position.

Instead of doing this, it is better to store these achievements for the time being and wait until he gets the title before making plans.

"Take these remaining gangsters and guard them carefully. We must not let them die. Du Tiandao has mobilized so many young men to rebel. I will report to His Majesty when I get back and ask for an order to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Sun Shouren's tone was stern. A Taoist force that had never been heard of could mobilize hundreds of young men holding weapons without making a sound.

Even if the Dutian Dao Sect said that they did not want to rebel, few people would believe it.

As a public servant, he is responsible for the food and salary of the imperial court, so of course he should take care of this matter.

For selfish reasons, people from the Dutian Dao Sect killed his nephew, and this revenge must be avenged.

Otherwise, he would have no explanation for himself, his clan, or his own soldiers.

"Fifth brother will take Fourth Brother Lingshu back to his hometown first, and he will not be back until some time later. If there are any other unexpected delays, he will go directly to Fucheng to take the imperial examination without returning to the military camp."

Chen Mo spoke in a low voice and told everything Mo Hu told him before leaving.

Sun Shouren didn't say much, and a rare trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

When he accepted these adopted sons, it was indeed for his own benefit and he expected them to fight with him in battle.

But people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Even if an object has been with you for a long time, it will still have emotions, let alone a living person.

When Mo Dao died, he would inevitably be heartbroken, but as a general, he could not show these emotions easily.

"That purple-clothed Taoist dared to intercept and kill the imperial officials. I have reported it to the Supervisor Tiansi. Soon there will be powerful officials from the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the matter." Sun Shouren continued to speak.

Du Tiandao's raising young men and the purple-clothed Taoist's robbing and killing court officials can actually be regarded as the same thing. Both are rebellions.

Regardless of whether these two matters are handled together or not, the Taoist in purple will not escape death.

Chen Mo nodded lightly. When the matter reached this point, it was no longer his turn to take care of it. The rest of the court's powerful men would take care of it.

Only when the whole matter was thoroughly investigated and the court was really ready to take action against the Dutian Dao Sect, did he have the opportunity to participate.

Taking the heads and several living bandits with them, Chen Mo and his party returned to the military camp one after another.

In the next few days, Chen Mo was busy all day long. Mo Daoshen died and Mo Hu also left.

Many affairs that originally belonged to Mo Dao are now all placed on Chen Mo. Fortunately, they are not too complicated and are nothing more than patrolling the military camp.

It only takes two or three days to formulate the rules and regulations, and they will basically be implemented stably.

From now on, he only needs to take time to patrol once a day. In this way, he will be more relaxed every day than before.

He devoted more time to martial arts training, and the progress of Greedy Wolf Seven Killing Fist was gratifying. According to this progress, the breakthrough has only happened in the recent period.

After a few more days, it was finally his turn to take a rest, and after arranging the defense in the camp, Chen Mo had time to go to Xiaopao Town.

There was a lot of traffic and a lot of people, but it was still as lively as ever.

Zhao Yu's food stall is next to a bluestone road in the town. She asked someone to make a wooden cart, with tables, chairs, benches, stoves, ingredients, etc. all arranged on the cart. The cart comes here every day to set up the stall.

Because of the curfew, the food stalls only do business in the morning and noon. Once the time comes, they will no longer welcome customers and prepare to close the stalls.

Only high-end pubs and inns will do evening business.

"Ah, you're back!" Zhao Yu was busy working in front of the stall. When he saw Chen Mo coming, he looked slightly surprised, but also very happy.

She was finally able to eat enough during this period, unlike before when she was hungry and cold, her face was rosy, and her body was gradually plumping up.

With flesh on his body, his original facial features are gradually being lifted up, and he is no longer as skinny as before.

Although he still works a lot every day and is busy with his own business, it is completely different from when he was sold into slavery.

There is more hope in my heart, and my whole demeanor is very different from the past.

To be fair, Zhao Yu is not ugly, but she is not a stunning beauty either. It can only be said that Xiaojiabiyu is gentle and pleasant.

"You sit down first, I'll get you something to eat." With a smile on her face, she hurriedly asked Chen Mo to sit down.

He also took off the coarse cloth cover hanging on the bamboo pole of the cart, indicating that the food stall would no longer welcome customers from now on.

"What's wrong, Sister Zhao, the men won't stop doing business when they come back!" A female stall owner who was relatively familiar with Zhao Yu laughed upon seeing this.

Zhao Yu smiled lightly and without further explanation, quickly served Chen Mo two plates of side dishes, then a plate of pickled peppers and a plate of twelve hot steamed buns.

"I didn't prepare any good food this morning. You take a bite first. I'll close the stall and go home to cut some meat and buy some elbows for you."

Zhao Yu approached Chen Mo and spoke in a low voice.

Her food stalls are mainly for merchants and vendors, or handlebars that transport goods for others.

Most of these people have no money and are reluctant to eat too much meat. Unless they order it in advance, food stalls like her will not prepare too much meat, especially now that the weather is getting warmer. If they can't sell it, they will be gone if it doesn't last for two days. bad.

"Okay." Chen Mo nodded slightly, quickly swept away the steamed buns on the table one by one, and then helped Zhao Yu close the stall.

In just a moment, all the sundries were neatly placed and loaded onto the cart.

"I'll do it." Chen Mo said softly, pushed the car and walked towards the hut.

This cart was very easy for him, and he was able to push a cart full of things back to the hut in a short time.

"You can rest at home and drink some tea. I'll go buy some meat right now."

Zhao Yu opened the door, made Chen Mo a pot of tea, then went to his room to get some money, and left in a hurry.

If she goes to the meat stall late, she may not be able to buy good meat.

Chen Mo took a sip of tea and looked at the scene in the courtyard. There were many differences from the last time he came here.

Zhao Yu not only kept the entire courtyard in order, but also kept it clean and tidy.

Two new clotheslines were tied outside the courtyard wall, but because she was too weak, they were not very strong.

The wooden posts tied with ropes were just loosely inserted into the ground.

Chen Mo immediately took the shovel and dug the hole again, burying several wooden pillars deeper and tightening the ropes on the pillars so that they would not be too loose as before.

After he finished doing this, Zhao Yu also carried the meat he bought and walked into the kitchen in a hurry.
