Chapter 462 Painful Choice
Liu Mo came to his senses, that person had already left the banquet, Liu Mo was immersed in great fear, trembling all over, sweat dripped from his forehead, his ears were buzzing, Gao Qu on the side paid attention Seeing his abnormality, he hurriedly asked: "Grand Liu, are you okay?"

Liu Mo didn't answer, his heart was beating violently, Gao Quzhi pushed him violently, he stood up in horror this time, trembling all over, and looked at Gao Quzhi in a panic, Gao Quzhi smiled , but there was some disdain in his heart, he said: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Liu, that guy is just a little crazy, he will never report on us."

"He He."

"His name is Yu Lisi." Gao Quzhi shook his head and said, "This man was originally the leader of the most warlike tribe in Goguryeo. He was also known as the number one warrior in Goguryeo. He had six sons, the eldest son fell off the horse and died, the second son drowned, the third and fourth sons were carried away by wild animals, the fifth son died in battle, and the youngest son died of illness."

"Since then, he has been crazy, saying things like don't do evil all day long, and being in the company of those pariahs, doing things that pariahs would do, farming, building houses, and when the traitors came, he Directly ordered the entire tribe not to fight, and first joined the Han court, those traitors were all headed by him, and the untouchables also listened to him more."

"However, Mr. Liu, don't worry. This guy will never dare to embarrass us. He once said that he will never kill or harm others in this life. I heard that he has not eaten meat for nearly ten years. So, Mr. Liu, don't worry. He won't hurt us either."

Liu Mo spent this banquet in a daze all the time. He didn't hear most of what the rest of the people were saying. He just nodded blankly. When the banquet was over, Gao Qu insisted on staying. He stayed overnight, but Liu Mo still said goodbye and left. Walking on the road, being blown by the cold wind, his entire forehead felt like a burning stove, accompanied by bursts of severe pain.

He returned to the post station. Seeing Liu Mo's pale face, the post station officials didn't ask any more questions. They quickly invited a doctor for him and arranged for him to stay and rest. It wasn't until the next day that Liu Mo regained consciousness. The post station official stood beside him, looked at Liu Mo's still pale face, and asked, "Mr. Liu, have you ever felt better?"

Liu Mo nodded and asked, "Who is the magistrate of Kunliang County?"

Kunliang is the county seat of Xiagao County today.

Hearing Liu Mo's question, the post station official immediately replied: "It's a relative of Cao Gong in the court, called Cao Ren."

"You let him come to see me"

The officials of the post station came out with orders, and Liu Mo waited here. Within an hour, the post station soldiers shouted outside the door: "Mr. Liu, Kunliang ordered Mr. Cao to come and see you."

"Well let him in"

The one who opened the door was a strong man with a sturdy build. Looking at it, he didn't have the slightest resemblance to the black and short Cao Si Nong in the court. He came in front of Liu Mo and bowed to Liu Mo , Said: "Kunliang Order Cao Ren, pay homage to Liu Gong!"

Liu Mo nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know about Yu Lisi?"

Cao Ren nodded and said, "Of course I know."

"Maybe talk to me?"

"This person is the old Goguryeo tribe, but he is different from others. I am the county magistrate. When I came here, those old nobles did evil, harmed the people, and even incited them to make them enemies with us. Come forward and let the people go back, most of these people are willing to listen to him, and I have also been to his house."

"He lives a very thrifty life. The courtyard is very dilapidated and there is only some grain left. It is said that he sold all his property ten years ago and distributed it to the poor people here. Although this man is a barbarian. Cough cough" Cao Ren Suddenly realized that something was wrong, he quickly changed his words: "Although he doesn't know etiquette and is illiterate, he is also one of the few good people in Xiagao County."

"Now, he makes a living by farming and is self-sufficient. Under his leadership, the people in Kunliang County are willing to listen to us, and this has become the wealthiest area in the two counties."

"Well, do you know where his home is?"

Cao Ren nodded, and asked again: "I don't know why you are asking these questions?"

"This is Sikong's order, so don't ask more questions"

"Thank you."

Cao Ren still had important matters and couldn't accompany Liu Mo at any time, so he sent two soldiers who were familiar with the situation in Kunliang and had good skills to help them. Liu Mo stayed in the station for two days and received some old nobles who came here However, during this period, he was always a little dazed and didn't know what he was thinking. On the fourth day, Liu Mo ordered the two soldiers to take him to Yu Lisi's residence.

The soldiers walked in front, and Liu Mo followed behind, frowning.

Arriving at his residence, this residence is similar to Liu Mo's own residence, with simple fences as walls, and a few chickens and ducks looking for food can be seen in the courtyard, but he did not stay in In his own courtyard, the soldiers led Liu Mo to his farmland. Yu Lisi's farmland was not far from where he lived.

From afar, Liu Mo saw him.

He rolled his trouser legs, stepped between the soil, waved a hoe with his wrinkled hands, and was busy in the plowing field, not paying attention to the surrounding situation. In the lonely wilderness, he was alone, constantly digging the soil, his body shape Liu Mo was stunned again for being extremely stooped. He was silent for a long time before he looked at the two soldiers beside him and said, "You guys go back first."

The two were taken aback, and said, "Grand Liu, it's not safe here, you can't leave you alone."

"Then, you wait for me at that intersection, I will go to see him alone"

"Please!"

Seeing the two soldiers walk away, Liu Mo looked at his wide sleeves, put down his hand, and the dagger slipped onto his hand. His hand, holding the dagger tightly, hid it in his sleeve, and Walked towards the old man step by step.

When Liu Mo walked to the edge of the field, the old man noticed the situation behind him. He turned around, his dead wood-like hand blocked the glare of the sun, squinted his eyes for a while, and after a while, the old man's face became a little annoyed , he said displeasedly: "It's you? What are you doing here? I will never do anything for you! Go! Go!!"

Liu Mo looked at him quietly, and the miserable howls sounded in his ears again.

"Why don't you be like them?"

"kindness?"

"You, why not be like them."

"Hehe, why should I tell you?"

"Tell me otherwise, and I will order to kill Kunliang."

Yu Lisi was frightened and furious. He looked at Liu Mo in front of him, gritted his teeth, and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Perhaps, it's because I have suffered retribution."

"retribution?"

Liu Mo asked back, holding the dagger in his sleeve firmly with his right hand, trembling all over, seeing his strangeness, Yu Li Si also felt a little strange, he didn't know the purpose of Liu Mo's coming, even, He has never seen this person before, what exactly does this person want?
Liu Mo raised his head and stared straight into Yu Li Si's eyes.

"Your retribution is not enough."

Yu Li Si opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. By the time he realized it, Liu Mo had already left without turning his head.

Liu Mo did not continue to stay in Xiagao County, he returned to the Governor's Mansion in Shanggao County to meet Yuan Shu directly.

Sitting in the study, Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "Can I get something?"

Liu Mo nodded, took out a bunch of papers, and placed them on the case, on which were densely packed the names of people, the crimes they committed, the words they said, the items they bribed, etc. It was the news that Liu Mo had detected during this period of time. Liu Mo tremblingly divided the papers into two sides, and the papers on the right piled up thickly into hills.

On the left, there are only three or four papers.

Yuan Shu knew in his heart that the ones on the right were all heinous, while the ones on the left were for big men.

Suddenly, Yuan Shu was taken aback. In the middle, there was still a piece of paper, which was not divided into two sides.

Liu Mo raised his head, a little dazed, "Yuan Jun."

"kindness?"

"What should you do if a person has a sworn hatred against you?"

"kill!"

Yuan Shu said firmly.

"But if you kill him, will it be detrimental to the country? So what?"

"This"

Yuan Shu frowned, thought for a long time, but did not answer.

Liu Mo closed his eyes tightly, stepped forward with trembling hands, and pushed the paper in the middle to the side.

Yuan Shu's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Mo.

Liu Mo looked at the copybook, tears kept falling.
