The knocks on the door were like breeze and drizzle, while the pound on the door this time was like storm.
It seemed that the door was being punched.
Shi Qingxue was astonished and didn’t want to comfort Wei Ziye anymore. She turned to Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang’s face darkened, and he ordered Wei Ziye, “Get up. Go and open the door.”
Wei Ziye was stunned for a while and then finally stopped being stubborn.
He pursed his lips and got up from the ground silently. Then he strode to open the door.
Shi Qingxue looked at him and complained like joking, “I comforted him softly, but it didn’t work, while after you ordered him coldly, he listened to you unexpectedly. It’s too much.”
Mo Junyang was rarely in high spirits and wanted to chat with her. Even though the door was pounded heavily from outside, he still whispered, “He is more flexible than Zichao apparently and does things at will, yet he i
Hearing Wei Ziye’s thought, Shi Qingxue shook her head without thinking.“No way.”Wei Ziye got anxious and said loudly, “My Lady, it’s not the time to be kind-hearted. We can’t even save ourselves. Why would you be a good person?”“You thought that...” Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment and then realized that Wei Ziye misunderstood her.Although she had many reasons to convince Wei Ziye, it was not the right time to argue.She paused for a while and then said, “Just have a try as you said.”Wei Ziye was overjoyed and prepared to pack up Ye Zhixin and send her to the people outside. Unexpectedly, he showed his intention to make peace, while the arrows from outside didn’t stop, but more and more came.It was obvious that the attackers wanted to take their lives.Wei Ziye finally realized the reality and thought about how Shi Qingxue behaved. Then he understood everything.
The person who begged for mercy for Yan Xu was a tall and thin man.He was well-featured and looked calm, speaking straightforwardly, which made him appear to be stiff.With Yan Xu, a big guy in front of him, this man looked more inconspicuous.In the beginning, even Mo Junyang didn’t notice him.However, as the man begged for mercy smartly and spoke unhurriedly, Mo Junyang knew that this was not an ordinary man.Mo Junyang thought for a while but didn’t show anything on his face. He just asked indifferently, “Who are you?”The man cupped his hands respectfully and greeted, “My Lord, my name is Xiao Qijun, a private adviser of the magistrate.”“A private adviser?” Mo Junyang repeated Xiao Qijun’s official position but didn’t say more. Then he retreated to stand behind Mo Junzhan silently and continued to be invisible.Nevertheless, his momentum was too powerful. Under his r
Hearing what Tian Ping said, Yan Xu was solemn as expected and he stared at Tian Ping as if deep in thought.Tian Ping had never been stared like this, and he was embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice, “Sir, I...”“You told me that the man who attacked us in the first place is the real King Rui’s heir?” Yan Xu straightened out Tian Ping’s information.Tian Ping nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes. Didn’t you find the imposing momentum of the so-called assistant? If he weren’t in a high position for a long time, how could he get such momentum?”His heart was still fluttering with fear when he remembered the moment he was confronting the man.Yan Xu thought according to Tian Ping’s words and nodded approvingly. He was about to express his approval but stopped on second thought. He asked abruptly, “If it were like what you said, then who was pretending to be the imperial envoy?”Lord Y
It didn’t take long for Shi Qingxue to know what was happening.She had planned to get to know the situation in Jiangzhou unnoticed before taking any action.However, as long as Mo Junzhan was here, it would be impossible for them to be unnoticed.On the second day Mo Junzhan stayed in the magistrate’s mansion, he made a splash to thoroughly investigate the accounts of Jiangzhou.It looked as if he were sure that the magistrate of Jiangzhou had filled his own pocket by taking bribes.He was so arrogant that he was afraid that people did not want to kill him.Instead, Mo Junzhan worked energetically and assumed the posture of making people think better of him.Shi Qingxue didn’t know how to talk to him but had to send Wei Zichao to protect him closely.She was afraid that Mo Junzhan would get near to the truth, which was almost impossible, and then Yan Xu would do something
Shi Qingxue was always “generous” on such things.If Mo Junyang didn’t feel like talking, she would never push him to speak.Because she knew if she insisted on asking, he would never keep her in the dark no matter how unwilling he was.However, she also didn’t like him doing things he disliked because of her.It was rare for Mo Junyang to be in the mood to explain, so she nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, yes! Will you talk?”At first, Mo Junyang just looked into her eyes seriously but he looked away a little embarrassedly.A long moment later, it seemed he finally plucked up the courage. He said in a hoarse voice, “Because I hated him for coveting you.”“What?” Shi Qingxue was completely startled by his so-called excuse.She couldn’t help laughing and saying, “Are you kidding?”Mo Junyang knitted his eyebrows and said, “You don’t believe it, right?”
Xiao Qijun smiled at Yan Xu soothingly and said in a soft voice, “It’s not as tough as you think, Lord Yan. Maybe it’s a heaven-sent chance to you.”“Why do you say that?” Yan Xu didn’t understand what Xiao Qijun was talking about, but he looked at him with expectation.Xiao Qijun said, “His Excellency has taken an account book to query you before, and it bothers you, right? Since Supervisor Ye’s wife happened to hang herself at the gate, why don’t we use it as an excuse that it was him who feathered his nest and she killed herself for fear of punishment?”Yan Xu’s eyes were lightened and turned gloomy again. “Will they believe it?”There were too many loopholes in this saying. Anyone who was not stupid wouldn’t believe such a saying.But Xiao Qijun said, “The point is not whether they believe it or not, but we need to give them a reason.“All you need to do is explain it, not making them believe it
Mo Junyang’s face didn’t change color after Mo Junzhan’s blame. He squinted at Ye Zhixin coldly.He said coldly, “Tears can do nothing. It can’t bring your mother back to life or avenge her.”Mo Junyang’s voice was not loud, but each word stabbed the heart.Ye Zhixin was rendered speechless. She stared at Mo Junyang without a word.Mo Junyang said again, “I have given you a chance to tell us the truth, but you didn’t out of some unknown reason. The truth is that you didn’t tell us anything. Now that you’ve given up the idea of telling the truth, why do you complain that no one takes revenge for you?”Ye Zhixin’s tears rolled down again. She was helpless and pathetic. “I know. I know. But I really can’t. I can’t say anything!”She was bathed in tears and collapsed on the ground.Maybe she was moved by Mo Junyang’s words. She didn’t expect other people to save her but was immersed in deep
After knowing their purpose, Mo Junzhan cooperated with them perfectly.On the same day, he told Yan Xu that Madam Ye had died of the epidemic.Even though Yan Xu said that the epidemic in Jiangzhou City had been eliminated, Mo Junzhan insisted on this “fact” and arbitrarily demanded investigating the epidemic in the city.His reason was sufficient. “You can’t even give us a final prescription. How can you have the face to say that the epidemic has been eliminated?”Yan Xu was rendered speechless by the question.When the epidemic here was the most serious, nearly one fourth of the people in Jiangzhou City died.However, it seemed to prove the saying that things always reversed themselves after reaching an extreme. In a short time, the epidemic became weaker and was eliminated unexpectedly in the end before there was medicine.Many people survived for no reason.It was like
