On the brick road from Chang 'an to Luoyang, a long line of people was moving forward in the cold. It was not suitable to walk at night, but the snow had not melted yet. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the world was white, and the roads on both sides of the road were clearly visible.
"Be careful!" One-armed Uncle Wang reminded them loudly.
The snow on the brick road was very thick, and it was extremely difficult for people and horses to walk, let alone pulling a heavy carriage.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. All the carriages have been replaced with anti-skid wheels, and brother Mo Jiazi is taking care of them. There won't be any problem." Li Xin said confidently.
One-armed Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Our trip is very important. We can't be careless."
Although the situation in Village Mo was blocked by the heavy snow, it still spread to Luoyang sporadically. Everyone knew how critical the situation in Village Mo was.
"In my opinion, you can't go back to Chang 'an today!" Suddenly, a gloomy voice came from the front.
"Who is it?" One-armed Uncle Wang suddenly shouted and waved his hand. All the village guards of Village Mo gathered together and looked at the front with alert.
In the snow in front of them, one by one, their straw raincoats were shaken off, revealing a fierce figure.
"Hundreds of people!" One-armed Uncle Wang gasped. He did not expect that there would be so many people, and there were only 50 village guards of Village Mo. Not only were they outnumbered, but they also knew that they were not kind people judging from the fierce aura of the opponents.
"Heroes, we are from Village Mo. I don't know what we have done to offend you. The Mo family is here to apologize!" Uncle Wang stepped forward and said loudly.
The leader said coldly, "I don't care about the Village of Mo or the Taoist Village. Today, we only want money and don't want to kill. If you know what's good for you, hand over the carriage behind you. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
One-armed Uncle Wang snorted and said, "Since the establishment of Tang dynasty, there have been no heroes between Chang 'an and Luoyang. You have really impressed me! Even if you get this batch of money, how much can you take away and how far can you run? "
The leading man laughed and said, "The Village Mo has plundered the wealth of the people. Today, we are robbing the rich to help the poor. After this, we will spread your money to several villages. Who will be so stupid to take the money and run away?"
One-armed Uncle Wang's heart sank. If the wealth of the Mo Family Village was robbed by the common people, even if the imperial court tracked them down, how much money could they get back? Once the Mo Family Village lost the wealth, there would be no chance for them to recover.
Furthermore, without the burden of money, these people would probably immediately disappear without a trace. They would not even be able to track them down. One-armed Lao Wang did not expect the other party to be so calculative.
"Boss, it is said that the Mo Family Village brought a huge fortune this time. Are we going to share it with those bumpkins …" One of the bandits said reluctantly.
"Idiot!" The leader snorted coldly. "Do you want the imperial court to follow this money and be beheaded? Besides, the noble has already instructed that you will be rewarded after this."
The bandits could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They immediately gave up their greed for the money. They agreed to take the risk and rob the Mo Family Village at the foot of the emperor because the risk of this business was very small and the plan was very thorough.
Hundreds of bandits suddenly pressed forward. Under the great pressure, the guards of the Mo Family Village retreated step by step. They wanted to delay the attack of the bandits with the blockage of the carriages.
"It's useless. This time, your fate has already been determined!" The leading man said ferociously. He waved his hand and commanded. Gradually, the space of the guards of the Mo Family Village was compressed.
"Really?" One-armed Lao Wang suddenly said coldly.
The leading man suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Boom!"
One of the four-wheeled carriages was smashed into pieces, and a valiant figure in full armor leaped up and attacked the bandits at the side.
"Soldiers!"
The bandits were scared out of their wits. More than ten fully armed four-wheeled carriages jumped out one after another. There were hundreds of soldiers in full armor, and they surrounded the bandits.
"We have been tricked!"
The leading man suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He did not expect that the Mo Family Village would set up a trap in advance to lure them into the trap.
There was no doubt that with hundreds of fully armed soldiers joining in, the bandits were all captured, except for a few who escaped in the chaos, including the leading bandits.
"Thank you for your help, Childe Fang!" One-armed Uncle Wang had the situation under control. He was relieved and saluted to the leading soldier.
The leading soldier opened the heavy helmet. It was Fang Jun, the second son of Fang Xuanling. Fang Jun smiled and said, "It's nothing. Finally, I have returned the favor of Brother Mo."
For the sake of safety, Meton asked Fang Jun to lead Fang Xiangfeng's guards to help secretly for the sake of luring the enemy out of the hole. That was why today's scene happened.
At this moment, another group of carriages of the Mo Family Village came in a hurry. Looking at the heavy ruts of this group of carriages, the leading bandit was furious. This must be the real escort carriage of the Mo Family Village.
"Uncle Wang, what should we do with these people?" Fang Jun turned his head to look at the bandits with an unkind expression. There was a large number of bandits at the foot of the Emperor. If the news spread out tomorrow, it would be a big event that would cause a sensation in Chang 'an.
"Young master, please spare our lives. We were possessed and greedy for money. Please forgive us." The leading man's face suddenly changed. If they were really handed over to the government, his head would definitely be on the list of people who would be beheaded next autumn.
One-armed Uncle Wang said without hesitation, "Before we came, the young master had ordered that if we captured the bandits, let their master redeem them. The ransom will be the reward for the hard work of the people of the Fang Family Village."
"Thank you, Young Master Fang. Thank you, Merton!"
The bandits were suddenly happy and worried. They were happy that they had escaped a disaster, but worried that they would not be able to escape punishment when they returned.
"Brother Mo is merciful!"
Fang Jun also heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that the people behind these people were none other than those from Luoyang. If he handed them over to the government, he was afraid that he would completely offend the Luoyang family. Even Fang Xiangfeng might not be able to withstand such great pressure.
In this way, he could have the best of both worlds. Thinking of this, Fang Jun couldn't help but secretly calculate. This time, if he didn't ruthlessly extort a large sum of money from the Luoyang family, he would be unworthy of being the second Fang.
"Young master Fang, we have already wasted a lot of time. We will take our leave now!" One-armed Uncle Wang said solemnly.
"Say hello to Brother Mo for me!" Fang Jun nodded.
In an instant, the two groups of carriages of the Mo Family Village merged into one. Under the moonlight, they quickly rushed to Chang 'an City.
