"Young master, what about the money?" Uncle Fu asked expectantly after being moved.
Meton nodded and said, "Take it to Yu Zhuangyuan's Restaurant to settle the bill."
"OK!" Uncle Fu wiped his tears and went to arrange it immediately.
As the money of Village Mo was taken to Yu Zhuangyuan's Restaurant, the bill was settled again. As time went by, everyone's attention was focused on the East City Gate again.
Before the heavy snowfall, Village Mo sent a large number of people to Luoyang to escort a batch of goods. Almost everyone realized that what really determined the success of Village Mo was this batch of money.
When everyone was focused on the East City Gate, a group of arresters, including Cao Li, entered Chang 'an City. They were the arresters who were holding Accountant Liu and his family.
"Accountant Liu, who defected from Village Mo, was caught."
Soon, the news spread all over Chang 'an City. Everyone in Chang' an City focused on the West City Gate. Accountant Liu's defection was a big case that shocked Chang 'an City at that time. Everyone knew about it.
The reason why the Mo Family's Village was in such a dangerous situation was because of Accountant Liu's defection. He had hidden a large amount of money in the Mo Family's Village. Now that Accountant Liu had been captured, the situation was once again in Mo's favor.
"What? Accountant Liu was caught?" Zheng Chang jumped up when he heard the news.
"How did Chang 'an county government know where Accountant Liu was hiding?" Lu Shuang asked in disbelief.
Zheng Chang smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder Mo Jiazi was so calm. He had found us long ago."
Lu Shuang stared at Shopkeeper Zhang with hatred and said, "How did you do your job? How could you let him catch us?"
Shopkeeper Zhang's face changed and he knelt down and said, "I didn't do my job well. Please punish me, young master. But don't worry, I've dealt with the rest. We won't be involved."
"That's good!" Lu Shuang said fiercely, "So what? Village Mo can't get back the money! Without this batch of money, the Mo Family will still lose without a doubt. "
Only then did Zheng Chang relax a little, but there was still a faint dark cloud in his heart. He did not believe that Mo Jiazi had not calculated to this extent.
In Yu Zhuangyuan Restaurant, when a group of constables escorted Accountant Liu into the restaurant, almost all the suppliers were in an uproar. They often dealt with people from Village Mo, so they naturally recognized this person. Seeing Accountant Liu being escorted in, many of them panicked and lowered their heads to avoid eye contact.
"Accountant Liu, look what you've done!" Xu Jie got up and saw Accountant Liu. His face immediately turned ashen. Accountant Liu was an old man who had been following him for a long time. He did not expect him to suddenly betray him.
Accountant Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, I'm sorry, but you can't beat them. The Village Mo is just like the Xu's Trading Company in the past. It can't withstand a single blow from them. They are too powerful!"
When Accountant Liu mentioned Xu's Trading Company, Xu Jie's breath suddenly became rapid. After a long time, Xu Jie shook his head and said, "No, Village Mo is different. We will definitely win!"
"Impossible, you can't defeat them at all!" Accountant Liu's face suddenly turned pale and he roared in disbelief.
Xu Jie shook his head regretfully and turned to Arrester Cao and said, "Thank you, Arrester Cao, for arresting this person for Village Mo."
"Such a big case in Chang 'an City, it's my duty to do so. But I'm sorry that I didn't get back the money for Village Mo. We have to escort this person back to the prison for a joint trial. Once we have the news, we will inform Mo's Mansion." Cao Li said seriously.
"Thank you! Of course, we trust the imperial court! "Xu Jie bowed and said.
After Cao Li escorted Accountant Liu away, Xu Jie turned to the group of suppliers and said, "Accountant Liu has been escorted and brought to justice. Among you, as long as the payment was handled by Accountant Liu, it will be reported to the Chang 'an County Government. This is a big case involving Chang' an City. Your payment will be settled after the case is closed."
"What? After the case is closed? "
"How can this be?"
"Why can other people's payment be settled, but ours can't?"
…
The suppliers didn't expect that Village Mo would come up with such a trick. They came here today to exhaust the money of Village Mo, but they didn't expect that Village Mo would come up with such a crooked idea.
"If you don't agree, you can go to Chang 'an County Government to report it. But before that, I suggest you buy a copy of the Law of Tang dynasty, in case you can't find the clauses." Xu Jie said indifferently.
"Uh, uh!" All the businessmen were speechless. Although the Village Mo's trick was not right, it was also reasonable. At this time, everyone realized why Xu Jie would put so many orders that had been handled by Accountant Liu at the end of the list to be settled.
"And as far as I know, most of your payments are not due yet. As for whether you will settle the payment after the case is closed or after the case is closed, it depends on what you do." Xu Jie threatened.
Many suppliers fell silent. Indeed, if Village Mo wanted to delay the payment, they would not be able to do anything to Village Mo if they waited until the case was closed.
At this moment, many suppliers left sensibly without Xu Jie's order.
Seeing that half of the suppliers were gone, Xu Jie showed a satisfied smile and said, "Let's continue."
The rest of the suppliers' hearts sank and they felt bitter. They vaguely realized that they might have done something very stupid.
Mo Jiazi is playing dirty! "
In a restaurant not far away, Lu Shuang heard Meton's crooked trick and said angrily. He did not expect that Mo Jiazi's purpose was not to collect the stolen goods, but to seal the accounts. In this way, Village Mo's debt would be reduced again.
"Mo Jiazi is playing dirty!" Zheng Chang muttered to himself. All along, Mo Jianzi's performance had been overflowing with talent. His words carried enormous weight and he was clearly a man of his word. However, Mo Jianzi's actions today had refreshed their bottom line.
"Hahaha, this is Mo Jiazi, as slippery as a loach! How can he be easily manipulated by you? "When the news spread to Chang 'an City, many people in Chang' an City burst into laughter.
In their hearts, although Meton was a man of his words, he was definitely not an old-fashioned man. On the contrary, those who were familiar with him knew that Meton was as slippery as a catfish.
"Do you think Mo Jiazi can really make a comeback?" A Chang 'an citizen said seriously.
"If it were someone else, it would be impossible. But Mo Jiazi seems to be able to do anything!" A strong man said coldly.
Many people nodded. In Chang 'an City, Mo Jiazi could be said to have created miracles again and again. In addition, Meton made a series of moves today. Naturally, people had more confidence in him.
"But even if Mo Jiazi is very resourceful, it is difficult for him to make so much money in such a short time!" There were also people who were pessimistic about Mo Jiazi. After all, Village Mo had tried their best, but there was still a big gap.
Just when people in Chang 'an City were talking about it, outside the East City Gate of Chang' an City, a team of carriages from Village Mo finally arrived at noon, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"The carriages from Luoyang are here!"
