Chapter 217 Suspicion of Confession
Seeing that Mo Yan was willing to speak up, Li Shun quickly moved closer to him and said, "Tell me what you know."
Looking at Li Shun approaching him, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Mo Yan's eyes.
Mo Yan is not a good person.
He is selfish by nature. He kept his mouth shut before just because he was betting that they could rescue him.
Now, it's only the first day he's been thrown into prison and they're already eager to kill him to silence him. In that case, don't blame him for being rude.
Even if he died, he would drag these treacherous people down with him.
"I met that man at a gambling house. I lost all the money I had brought that day and was about to go back and wait for the next time when he stopped me."
Back to almost two years ago, Mo Yan was just a centurion at that time.
He had been in the army for three years and had no background, but fortunately he was good at fighting and had some brains. With his own efforts, he was promoted from a small soldier to the position of centurion little by little.
It has to be said that the treatment of Anguo soldiers is indeed very good. After serving in the army, Mo Yan gradually accumulated a lot of spare money.
How can a soldier not feel depressed? Every time he goes to the battlefield, he sees people who were chatting and laughing the moment before, and dying the next moment.
No one knows who will die next.
In order to vent the depression in their hearts and to enjoy themselves in time, some soldiers would like to drink alcohol when they have nothing to do. They enjoy the temporary numbness brought by alcohol.
Some soldiers would take their monthly salary and take their families out to eat, drink and shop whenever they had free time, enjoying the present moment.
Since there were no brothels in Anguo, there was one less place to have fun.
Gambling houses became an option for the soldiers, who enjoyed the thrill and unknown feeling.
But most of the soldiers have strong self-control, and going there is just for a little gambling for fun.
As for Mo Yan, he went to the gambling house at first just out of curiosity.
I didn’t dare to get involved before because I had no money, but now that I have a little money, I want to go and take a look.
After winning a few times, he began to like the feeling of making a lot of money easily.
Because he was used to being poor, Mo Yan's only hobby was money.
Now that they have found this easy way to make money, they are naturally very happy and the stakes are getting higher and higher.
But the gambling house is not a charity. After seeing the gambler take the bait, Mo Yan started to lose more and more.
Later on, he became addicted to gambling like many other gamblers.
That day, he went to the gambling house as usual.
The dealer put the dice into the dice cup and shook it. After shaking it a few times, he placed it on the table.
"Buy it and forget it!" the dealer shouted.
After hesitating for a moment, the gamblers gathered together placed their money on the points they liked.
Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, then took out a handful of silver and bet on the big one.
Then he put his hands together and kept muttering "big, big, big".
After everyone has placed their bets, the dealer opens the dice cup.
Mo Yan took a closer look and his face turned pale. "How could it be Xiao? He lost again!"
After the dealer collected all the money, he rolled the dice in his hand and said, "Okay, now let's start the next round."
Seeing this, Mo Yan was about to continue searching for the silver, but he couldn't find it after searching all over his body.
Those are the last silver I have.
He scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Forget it, I'll try again next time. Next time, I will definitely win it back."
Having said that, he prepared to leave and go home.
"Wait, wait." A voice came from behind.
Mo Yan turned around and saw a man in rich clothes looking at him with a smile.
"you call me?"
The man nodded. "Yes, you are Centurion Mo Yanmo, right? I didn't expect to see you here. What's the matter? Are you out of silver? Let me give you some."
Mo Yan looked at the newcomer suspiciously and asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you giving me money?"
The man smiled and said, "Captain Mo, I've long heard of your great name. My last name is Zhao Xingsi, so you can just ask for Zhao Si. It's just... hehe, I run a small business in the east of the city. I'm giving you money because I want to make friends with you. I might need you in the future."
After hearing what Zhao Si said, Mo Yan instantly understood his intention. He just wanted to curry favor with him and find a backer.
Realizing his plan, Mo Yan's face showed a look of pride.
"Since you are so sincere, I, the Centurion, will give you this favor."
Zhao Si nodded and bowed quickly, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it over, "Captain Mo, this is a small gift, please take it first."
From then on, Zhao Si would wait there every time, handing over the silver when Mo Yan had lost all his money.
After a few times, he pulled Mo Yan to a deserted corner and said, "Captain Mo, do you want to get promoted and make a fortune? I have a good idea."
Mo Yan's eyes lit up, "Oh? Tell me about it."
Zhao Si leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I know a great man. If you can pass on military intelligence to him and occasionally complete the tasks he assigns you, he will definitely help you rise to prominence. What do you think?"
Mo Yan was shocked. Looking at the smiling face, he realized the identity of the person in front of him.
This might be a spy sent by the enemy country.
"You want me to commit treason, that's a capital crime!"
Zhao Si looked at Mo Yan who said this but did not choose to take him down, and he knew that he was wavering.
"Captain Mo, water flows to the low places and people go to the high places, right? It's not easy to get promoted on your own. If you follow us, we guarantee that you will be successful." Zhao Si continued to tempt.
Mo Yan frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, "Okay, I'll do it, but don't lie to me."
"Hahaha, of course I won't lie to you."
From that day on, with Ming Yue as a bridge, Mo Yan was quickly noticed by Li Shun and was promoted step by step.
He also delivered the confidential information he obtained to the owner of Yueming Teahouse as requested.
As the official position becomes higher, the people and things you come into contact with also increase.
After that, he began to instigate others to rebel.
After finding the right candidates and persuading them to rebel, he took the opportunity to go to the general's mansion to privately inform Mingyue about these people, and asked her to find a way to promote their official positions.
The methods used include but are not limited to casually praising those who were instigated to rebel in front of Li Shun, creating an image of them as brave, good at fighting, and extremely wise.
Or maybe after Ming Yue knew that Li Shun was going there, he created some crisis there to give the person who was being instigated a chance to "stand up" and thus attract Li Shun's attention and appreciation.
Mo Yan coughed to relieve his dry throat from talking for too long.
"That's all I know, General."
When Li Shun heard that Ming Yue was also inside, he was completely incredulous.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shun immediately retorted, "Mingyue would never do such a thing, Mo Yan. You're about to die and you still want to blame others!"
"General, why would I lie to you? Haven't you noticed that she's behind all those people you've promoted?"
Li Shun's face was gloomy and he fell into deep thought.
He found that, just as he said, there really was the shadow of Ming Yue.
Also, the news of Mo Yan's detention shouldn't have leaked out. How could someone come and kill him to silence him so quickly?
Thinking of Ming Yue's anxious look when she heard Mo Yan last night, her face turned pale.
Mingyue, have you really chosen to betray your country and become a traitor?
On the other side, in a remote place in the general's mansion.
"what?"
Ming Yue looked at the person in front of him in shock, "You said someone rushed to kill Mo Yan before us?"
"It's absolutely true. When we rushed there, that group of people had already started fighting with the prison staff. Seeing that more and more people were coming, we retreated first." The man said anxiously.
Ming Yue frowned and paced back and forth, "Did Mo Yan get killed by those people?"
"I don't know. The prison at the back is heavily guarded. We can't get in."
Ming Yue stopped and bit her lip. She wondered who those people were and why they took the initiative.
Is it possible that Zhao Si has also received the news?
Mingyue touched her pounding heart, and an ominous premonition came over her.
