Chapter 367

Seventh Elder Brother was no stranger to searching matters. In the past when fighting wars, after capturing the enemy general, there would also be such an operation. First he searched the body of the barbarian commander.

Apart from a token that looked rather special, there was also a small porcelain bottle that seemed to contain gu worms.

Seventh Elder Brother did not dare mess with the small porcelain bottle. He was afraid that something bad would happen if he was not careful, so he would wait for Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law to come and decide.

He kept the small porcelain bottle and then took the token to observe it carefully.

He always felt that he had seen this token somewhere before, but could not remember where for the moment.

Just when he was annoyed, two people suddenly appeared before him out of thin air.

The arrivals were precisely Mo Chuhan and Meng Huaining.

Mo Chuhan knew the urgency of the matter. He did not ride a horse into the city at all, but raised his qinggong skill to the fastest speed.

On his return as well, Meng Huaining also understood martial arts. They were both clear that their qinggong was much faster than riding a horse, so they both displayed qinggong to rush back.

As for those yamen runners, they had already been left far behind by them.

When Seventh Elder Brother saw the two of them, he hurriedly displayed the token that had troubled him for so long.

"It\'s good that you\'re here. Take a quick look at this token and see if you have any impression of it?"

When Mo Chuhan saw the token, he also frowned slightly.

"Seventh Elder Brother, what is this?"

Seventh Elder Brother pointed his lips at the corpse of the commander on the ground: "It was searched from him."

Mo Chuhan took the token and flipped it around before returning it to Seventh Elder Brother.

"I\'ve never seen this thing before."

Meng Huaining also took a peek and did not recognize it either.

Although they did not recognize it, he was more observant than the Mo brothers.

"Seventh Elder Brother, Eighth Elder Brother, look, the veins on this token look a bit strange, it looks a bit like a mandala leaf."

After Meng Huaining\'s reminder, the two brothers also discovered it.

"It\'s true, these veins do look similar to the leaves of a mandala," Seventh Elder Brother said.

Then the three of them looked at each other, as if they had all guessed something.

"Mandala is the national flower of Nanjiang. Could this incident be related to Nanjiang?" Seventh Elder Brother couldn\'t help asking.

This was also Meng Huaining and Eighth Brother\'s guess in their hearts.

"It\'s highly likely that someone from Nanjiang is making trouble," Mo Chuhan said in a somewhat displeased tone.

Meng Huaining was not so arbitrary. He looked at those barbarians who were not confused and walked over.

"Sir, I ask you, did that commander speak in the local accent of you barbarians?"

Meng Huaining was wearing an official uniform when he rushed over. Since ancient times, commoners have been afraid of officials, and these barbarians were no exception. Especially since they had committed the misdeed of robbing Da Shun commoners, they were even more terrified.

Therefore, when Meng Huaining asked, they were scrambling to answer, hoping to have a chance to redeem their crimes and establish merit.

"Sir, I know."

"Sir, that man spoke differently from us, he was definitely not a barbarian."

"Sir, he spoke a little like the southern accent. I went south a few years ago and would definitely not mistake it."

"Sir..."

Now, what more was there for the Mo brothers and Meng Huaining to not understand? From what these barbarians said and that token, it could be analyzed that the commander was sent from Nanjiang.

"Could it be that Nanjiang colluded with the barbarians and planned to jointly attack Da Shun?" Mo Chuhan spoke out his guess in his heart.

Seventh Elder Brother stroked his chin and frowned, "It\'s not impossible."

Although the Mo family was exiled and hated Emperor Shunwu and the court, their deep-rooted patriotism could not just disappear. When they heard that there were foreign enemies attacking Da Shun, they instinctively felt like resisting.

However, they soon realized their current status.

Seventh Elder Brother sighed and lightly patted Meng Huaining on the shoulder: "How this matter will eventually turn out can only be worried by Brother Meng. My Mo family now only wants to live in peace."

Meng Huaining could completely understand the feelings of the Mo brothers. After all, his own family had also been suppressed by Emperor Shunwu before.

It was just that the Meng family was slightly better off than the Mo family, and had not reached the point of exile. His family members had placed all their hopes of turning over a new leaf on him.

Therefore, even though Meng Huaining was indifferent to the court, he could not just sit idly by in the face of such a big matter.

"Well, I will sort it out later and write a memorial to report to the capital."

What he meant by writing a memorial was that he would write a letter to Fei Nanyu.

Although he did not have much contact with Fei Nanyu, he could feel that they belonged in the same circle.

Especially since Fei Nanyu had helped him a lot with the plague incident. He was able to come to Yucheng to take office instead of being stripped of his official position. These were all Fei Nanyu\'s contributions.

No matter from which point of consideration, he would choose to notify Fei Nanyu of the news.

Of course, the Mo brothers would not care who Meng Huaining would report this matter to. What they needed to resolve now was the issue of what to do with these barbarians, as well as to put the defense of their Xiling Village homes on the agenda.

Whether it was the barbarians or Nanjiang people, what they feared was his Mo family.

Even though they did not intend to work for the court anymore, those outsiders were not clear about their thoughts.

Therefore, it was very necessary for the Mo family to be more vigilant from now on. The top priority was to protect themselves.

Seventh Elder Brother looked at those barbarians with pitiful looks on their faces and asked Meng Huaining.

"Brother Meng, how do you plan to deal with these people?"

On the way here, Mo Chuhan had already told Meng Huaining about the general situation of what had happened here.

He knew clearly that the barbarians captured by the Mo brothers were all commoners.

At the same time, he also knew that the barbarians did have hard lives. It could be determined from their emaciated appearances that they must have been starving badly.

The pitiful had something to be hated for. Meng Huaining did not sympathize with them, but felt that if things continued like this, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of Yucheng\'s commoners.

Just as he was thinking about how to handle it, the treatment of the wounded on He Zhiran\'s side was nearing completion. She was being supported by a somewhat uneasy Eighth Sister-in-law as she walked over here.

"Brother Meng, Seventh Elder Brother, Eighth Elder Brother, how has the situation been handled?" He Zhiran asked.

A style had been formed in the Mo family now, which was to look upon Mo Jiuye and his wife as leaders.

When Mo Jiuye was at home, whether for big or small matters, they would go to discuss it with them.

Therefore, when they saw He Zhiran ask, they recounted what they had learned about the situation in every detail.

When He Zhiran heard that she had killed the most critical figure, she felt somewhat regretful in her heart.

In her anxiousness just now, there was nothing she could do.

Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Seventh Elder Brother hurriedly took out the small porcelain bottle.

"Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law, take a look. This is what was found on that man. I suspect there are gu worms inside. I didn\'t dare open it rashly."
