June in Jinan City is the hottest season of the year. During the day, it seems that it is steamed. At night, the sun sets and there is no coolness. At this time of year, there are many people with heatstroke. People in wealthy and idle people pay attention to going to Lishan to escape the summer heat, but after all, they have to leave the city. Even if the gentry and powerful people are waiting, they cannot leave the city at any time.

If you are in the city, you can take away the hot air near a spring, and with the shade of green trees, this pleasant enjoyment is no worse than that in Lishan. However, although Jinan is known as the spring city, there are only a few springs in the city. The provinces, roads, government officials, and officials who return home to work are not enough. They are also included in the official office and mansion. How can ordinary people share the benefits?

There is an exception to the spring water. It is the Willow Hound Spring in the southwest corner of Jinan. The south city is where the poor people live. There are several markets near the Willow Hound Spring. Naturally, the dignitaries and nobles are unwilling to come here, and it has become a paradise for ordinary people. Every summer, everyone gathers in front of the spring, blows the cool breeze, and drinks a few sips of cold and sweet spring water. The bitter summer is not so difficult.

But in the past fifteen years, I have not enjoyed this fun. I have set up a large mansion around this willow feast spring. The regulation is not bad at all compared to the masters in the yamen. It is very good to go in and out. Not to mention that everyone is very close to this spring. Even this mansion is not good. Some ignorant children are playing within fifty steps and are hung up and beaten up for public display. Some foreign vendors are leading mules over and want to rest at the base of the wall. As a result, the mules are directly captured and the vendors are beaten up.

At first, there was still a young and strong man who was angry and was beaten and was bleeding and disabled by the guards of the large mansion. This time, he became angry. Nearly a thousand people in the southwest of Jinan City went to find an explanation. He never thought that he would go outside the house, but was beaten by the guards of the more than 100 guards in the house. Next, not only did no one treat him, but the constables in the yamen arrested a group of people and directly charged him with a crime of roaring and causing trouble. Each household cut his flesh and vomited blood and raised a sum of money to redeem him.

The matter was not over yet. The few people who summoned everyone to die in an unknown way. This included a kind-hearted scholar. Even the scholar dared to take action. This was such a great courage. He was a scholar. He was seriously injured from the dead and went to the yamen to complain with the scholar's family. The scholar's classmate of the same year was also full of righteous indignation. He never thought that the complainant would be passed into the yamen and there was no sound again.

He killed people, and even scholars, and then the government dared to shelter such a person. Who dared to offend such a person? After these incidents, the mansion was surrounded by a dragon and tiger den, and no one dared to go there anymore. The reputation of this mansion gradually spread throughout Jinan City. No matter who mentioned the Mo family courtyard, he would subconsciously whisper.

Mo Yinglong, the head of the Mo family, was called Mo Yuanwai by the officials in Jinan City, and the people were respected as "Master Mo" because Mo Yinglong used money to make his youngest son a scholar and donated a tribute student. The people here are also called "Master Mo".

Although he was called the Grand Master, Mo Yinglong was only in his early forties and had a strong figure. He looked like a thirty-something. His face looked kind and looked like an honest squire.

But no one dares to think that he is honest and honest. Everyone is doing this to collude with the government and oppress good people. Killing a scholar Tong Sheng is nothing. The reason why Mo Yinglong is called "Master" is because of his official backer and ruthless means.

His backer in the government was Mo Peisheng, a famous criminal master. This master was Mo Yinglong's cousin, a local scholar in Jinan, but he had been an aide in the county government office for twenty years. Mo Peisheng was a local native and familiar with him. He might not be conspicuous in the first few years. Later, he was not sure about all the joints of the yamen's executive affairs. From the governor's office to the prefecture and county government office, there was no one who did not sell his face. No one who came to Jinan to serve as an official in Jinan was indispensable.

There is also a coincidence that from the first boss of Mo Peisheng to the current position, the five bosses have some relationship with each other. Because of this relationship, the previous person resigned and recommended to the next person. It has been this turn now. The masters have studied the imperial examinations in the four books, five classics and eight essays, but they are not familiar with local government affairs. Mo Peisheng knows how to make progress and retreat, and is familiar with all major and small matters. There is no problem in his hands, and he is naturally more and more relied on.

From the local perspective, officials came and left, just like flowing water, but Mo Peisheng, Master Mo was unable to beat him, so he naturally regarded him as the number one real power figure in the local area. But Mo Yinglong was not a local person in Jinan. The real old resident could still remember that Mo Yinglong was very down and out when he first arrived in Jinan City. He was followed by more than a dozen people. Because he was too eye-catching, he was targeted by Master Mo because he was still protected by Master Mo. Some people also trance remembered that they spoke a heavy Liaodong accent.

As soon as Mo Yinglong settled in Jinan, he snatched all the business in the south city. It was a big deal for local people to fight with swords and see blood. But Mo Yinglong and his gang directly destroyed the whole family, and there was no one who even had a miser. In addition, everyone knew that they were relatives of "Mr. Mo", and the official officer also pinched his nose and recognized it. But Mo Yinglong was not a reckless man. After snatching the territory, he would give all the offerings he should give. For the people on the official side, he would be filial to the public and ignored everything else. Some officials who felt offended wanted to take action, but how could they beat Mr. Mo in this Jinan city?

It would be fine if it were just the ground in the south of the city. It was the territory of the poor, and I didn't care much. A dozen people were not in the eyes of the real powerful people. No one could gather more than a hundred people to fight against the man. But Mo Yinglong's subordinates were more and more, and they were all outlaws who dared to fight. They knew that they would cooperate with each other. Dozens of people dared to fight more than a hundred people head-on, without any disadvantage. Later, they even used military bows.

Head-on encounters are not the opponent, and the official face is not comparable. The money-making business in this city is gradually captured by Mo Yinglong. At this time, Mr. Mo also felt the benefits of this relative. Not to mention the monthly offerings, any inconvenient things outside can be solved quickly now. Moreover, it is a bit more awe. Mr. Mo, who is playing with a pen, also has a knife in his hand.

When Mo Yinglong had more than 300 people in his hands, it was no longer the turn of other people to do the various businesses in Jinan Fucheng and surrounding areas. Even if he was in trouble, someone would have to say peace and offer it on a regular basis.

Since Liaodong was invaded by the Jianzhou Jurchens, Dengzhou Prefecture has many more Liao soldiers and Liao people from Liao Town. They are all in one place and it is difficult for outsiders to get close to them. These Liao soldiers and Liao people have also done a lot of activities to kill and rob, and sell people. However, they are all troubles in their own circles. Shandong Green Forests knows that this is a big fat piece, but no one can get it online, so they are anxious.

But Mr. Mo got on the line. He opened the stolen goods from Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture to receive goods and then transported them to Linqing for distribution. He also accepted the women and children sold from Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture to sell them. The business was booming, and the family business expanded rapidly. The Liao Town that came from Denglai Prefecture and defected to the two palaces.

At most, Mr. Mo had more than 600 strong numbers in his hands, and he had no shortage of swords, guns, bows and arrows. However, it was too eye-catching to do so. The soldiers were prepared, and even the hundreds of households in Jinan Prefecture and even the Jinyiwei in Shandong were all aimed at this side. Fortunately, Mr. Mo learned the news early and turned the situation around, and let Mo Yinglong disperse a lot of people himself, so he has been safe until now.

It was originally a great hero who had been smooth sailing. When Mo Yinglong's son became a scholar, the Jinan gentry who had been away from him began to pinch his nose. No matter how you look at the Mo family, they all wanted to take root in Jinan, which was passed down from generation to generation, and their children gained fame and fortune, and there would be no mistakes in their official positions in the future.

At this time, Yunshan Travel opened in Jinan Fucheng. Originally, the famous Hanjing wine in Jinan City was a huge profit-making business, so the Mo family naturally had to make a kick. When each store bought the goods, they had to give them 30% of the goods according to the purchase price. As a result, the famous Hanjing wine in Mo family itself was the largest in Jinan and the business was the best.

Now that the seller opens a store in Jinan Prefecture City, the Mo family must be involved. Xuzhou Zhao Tianwang is famous and they naturally know that they think that Xuzhou and Jinan are far away, and you can't take care of anything I do. Mo Yinglong's second housekeeper brought people to the door and wanted to underwrite all the famous Hanjing wines here and settle the bill for the three festivals.

This request was naturally rejected by Yunshanxing. Mo Yinglong's second housekeeper was used to being powerful and wanted to smash the shop on the spot. Their hands were covered with blood, and they kept fighting on weekdays. They really wanted to make trouble. The shopkeepers couldn't stop them, and they might suffer losses. I never thought that some shopkeepers in Yunshanxing could not beat them, and some were very good at hitting them. They fists and kicked them up, and beat them up directly, knocking them over and driving them out.

It is naturally difficult to take action in broad daylight. The second housekeeper made a few harsh words and then left in a mess. But everyone knew that the Mo family might have to take ruthless actions, and the Mo family was not reckless in doing things. They dared to make trouble because there were no officials and gentry among the people who congratulated each other, all of them were local merchants, and some powerful people were not afraid of these people.

On the night of the action, someone lit a fire in the Jinan branch of Yunshanxing. The fire was placed in several places, some were hidden fires wrapped in incense ash, some were poured on the door panels and windows, and some were thrown into the torch directly. Several places were activated at the same time, making it difficult to guard against.

Compared with ordinary business banks, Yunshan Travel did have a very strict eye and there were also people who were on guard at night. But I didn’t expect that there were people in Jinan City so bold, and several places were launched at the same time, which made people really hard to guard against. They put out several open fires, but were burned by the hidden fire, igniting a warehouse. If Yunshan Travel had not been strictly prohibited and covered with sand in time, a big disaster would probably occur. Even so, a room of groceries would have been burned, two people were burned, and the losses were quite serious.
