Chapter 81 Jin's Brother-in-Law
Zhao Kun was a disciple that Mo Juren accepted from the Jingjiao Society in his early years. He originally had good aptitude in martial arts, but he was still a minor when Mo Juren left.

Unexpectedly, he was involved in Ma Kongtian's rebellion and became an accomplice. In the end, they were all killed by the poisonous array in the Mo Mansion.

After Ma Kongtian's conspiracy was exposed and he was strangled to death by the Mo family, the entire Ma family was also ransacked and confiscated.

The original wife of the Ma family, who was the instigator of the crime, was also killed on the same day after being exposed by the servants.

However, the concubine Zhang Qing and other servants were saved by the magnanimous Fifth Madam's words. They were simply driven away from the Ma Mansion and no innocent people were harmed.

She and Ma Kongtian's son was raised outside the house because they were afraid that he would be harmed by his childless first wife when he was born, so no one knew about it, and thus the mother and son were able to survive.

As for why Zhang Qing disguised herself and lingered around the Ma Mansion to spy, it was actually not a big deal. It was just because when the house was searched, she hid a bag of valuable gold and silver jewelry under the floor tiles somewhere in the Ma Mansion.

In order to raise his son and send him to school, he had no choice but to resort to this last resort and wait outside the Ma Mansion, hoping that after getting familiar with the place, he could find a chance to go in and secretly take these things out.

After Mo Juren's repeated questioning, Zhang Qing collapsed to the ground, choking with tears.

Her son Zhang Wuyou hugged his mother affectionately and glared at Mo Juren.

Since Mo Juren knew what he wanted, he did not have any ill feelings towards the mother and son.

So he said to them,
"Whether these words are true or false, I will naturally check them out. Tell me first where the jewelry you mentioned is hidden."

Zhang Qing quickly propped himself up and gave a location.

Mo Juren suddenly stood up from the courtyard and jumped out.

Zhang Qing quickly stood up, pulled himself together, tidied his appearance, and comforted Zhang Wuyou. Soon after, Mo Juren flashed back to the courtyard.

The speed of going back and forth was extremely fast.

He threw a small black bag covered with dirt that he had retrieved easily to Zhang Qing and asked,

"You mean this bag?"

Zhang Qing took it with surprise and quickly opened it. It was the package she had hurriedly packed that year, so she nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, it's this little package."

Then he thought of something, turned his eyes, and immediately packed up the gold and silver again, and said to Mo Juren,

"These are all the things that Gang Leader Mo took from the Ma family. The widow Zhang Qing dare not possess them. Please accept these small fortunes. I beg Gang Leader Mo to show mercy and let us go..."

"What do I need these from you for!?" Mo Juren interrupted her and asked, "Do you have a pen and paper?"

Zhang Qing pointed to the inner room, and Mo Juren entered. He quickly found a pen and ink, wrote a letter, handed it to her, and said,
"Ma Kongtian betrayed his gang and was defeated. It was his own fault. Now that he is dead, I will not pursue the matter. Since this child is his blood, he can be considered a member of the Jingjiao Society. Take this letter and take a boat to Changpingdu. There is a Ping'an Inn there. Give this letter to the innkeeper and you will get proper arrangements from Anduo. Your future life will be much easier than the life you and your son have been trying to make in this city. Do you understand?"

Zhang Qing didn't expect that this Mo Gang leader would actually arrange such a path for him, and he was immediately very grateful. Mo Juren stopped and said to her and her son,

"Remember the incision, the code is 'The mountains are high and the waters are long, where is the end of the world; time is like a stream, the world is healthy', remember it?" "'The mountains are high and the waters are long, where is the end of the world; time is like a stream, the world is healthy', I remember it."

The child also said loudly,
"Wuyou also remembered it!"

Mo Juren gave him an admiring look, touched the boy's head again, and then left.

Mo Juren is calm and collected, Ma Kongtian is eager to help others and is righteous. In the past Jingjiao Club, this was a widely circulated funny comment, which shows that his sworn brother is still quite popular.

Moreover, Ma Kongtian betrayed the gang for other reasons. He was just instigated by others. Strictly speaking, he did not sell out himself. He did not let down the brotherhood between the two of them, which made Mo Juren feel relieved.

Thinking aimlessly like this, Mo Juren continued walking in the city, and unknowingly he had arrived in front of the Golden Lion Escort Agency.

It was just getting dark and the lights were coming on, but the Golden Lion Escort Agency was deserted. There was only a lantern lit in front of the side door. The main door was closed and there was no one guarding it, making it quite deserted.

This is the hometown of his first wife, Jin Honglan.

His father-in-law, Jin Can, was a prominent figure in Lanzhou in the early years. As the chief escort of the Golden Lion Escort Agency, he participated in the Brotherhood Alliance and controlled Jiayuan City. Before the establishment of the Jingjiao Society, he could be said to be the third force that competed with the Five Colors Sect and Duba Villa.

However, in the martial arts world, the new wave pushes the old wave out, which is an eternal law. If Mo Juren's Jingjiao Society wants to gain power, it must step on the corpses of the old forces.

It was just unfortunate that the Golden Lion Escort Agency became this stepping stone, and a situation of conflict between father-in-law and son-in-law was staged that year.

These are all things of the past. The Golden Lion Escort Agency can still exist in Jiayuan City because of Mo Juren's old friendship. As for the other old forces of the "Brotherly Alliance", which one was not thoroughly cleansed and uprooted by the Jingjiao Society?
Therefore, Mo Juren never felt that he had let down the Jin family. As for the incident in which Mo Juren was assassinated by the "Dead Bone Butterfly" and a desperate assassin one after another after he took back a "Chicken Bone Flower" from the Jin Mansion, the biggest suspect was naturally the Jin Mansion.

After Mo Juren sorted out the causes and effects, he displayed his skills, climbed over the wall and sneaked in.

When discussing the situation in Jiayuan City with the Fifth Madam, I already knew that Jin Can was still alive, but very old. The one in charge of the Jin Mansion was his brother-in-law, Jin Lianfei, the eldest madam's younger brother.

Mo Juren was also very familiar with the Jin Mansion.

Because in his early years, when Mo Juren married the first lady Jin Honglan, he was just a poor boy with nothing.

At that time, as a rising star in the underworld, he moved into the Jin Mansion almost as a daughter-in-law.

From relying on the Jin Mansion to earn a status in the underworld, to breaking away from the Jin Mansion and establishing the Jingjiao Society, he lived here for two years.

Mo Juren went straight to the main house, where the owner of the Jin Mansion lived.

There were no guests in the Jin Mansion tonight. It was deserted and all lights were off, shrouded in darkness.

All he could hear was the faint sound of a woman wailing in pain and a man growling in the side bedroom. Mo Juren leaned closer to listen, but was almost furious at what he heard.

The man's voice was manic, and it was obvious that it was Jin Lianfei himself, who was engaged in a conquest on the bed in the room.

But the name he called out was Mo Juren’s third wife—Liu Ya!
