The case of tax evasion and salt smuggling in Nanyue lasted for about a month. The people involved in the case also included the royal family and nobles of the capital. Mo Rongzhan sent someone to deliver an edict, ordering Tang Zhen to arrest Marquis Ping and others. Whether they were royal princes or Jun Wang, they would all have their properties confiscated and their titles removed without exception.
Cao Xingyu also confessed that it was Marquis Ping who ordered people to kill the little prince on the way. They all thought that as long as the little prince was killed, the emperor would not investigate Nanyue anymore. At least, he would not dare to act rashly. There was also the poisonous fish in the stream outside Chengde Villa, which was the doing of Prince of the East. They could not deal with Mo Rongzhan openly, but they wanted to murder Mo Rongzhan's child.
Based on these two points, Marquis Ping and Prince of the East could not survive.
Both the Cao and Sun families were ordered to be executed. In the case of Pan Feng, the two families jointly fabricated evidence. As long as there was a little justice in the world, they would not allow them to be let go. A debt of blood must be paid with blood.
As for the current situation in Nanyue, Murong Ke had secretly supported other merchants before, so the damage was not serious.
Murong Ke handed over the rest of the matters to Lu Xiangzhi and made him the temporary governor. He was going to leave Nanyue with Song Jiong.
"Sixth Wangye, the emperor has not agreed to let you leave." Lu Xiangzhi came to the port and looked at Murong Ke who was about to board the ship and leave. He frowned and shouted loudly.
The case of Nanyue was indeed almost over, but the emperor had not given any other edict. Could Murong Ke just leave like this?
"Do you think I still care about the emperor's consent?" Murong Ke had taken off his official clothes and was only wearing a simple brocade robe with a black cloak outside. He looked unruly and noble, very different from usual.
Lu Xiangzhi looked at him and remembered that he had been looking at the route map for the past six months. "Sixth Wangye, are you going to find Yaoyao?"
"This is the only thing I want to do in this life." Murong Ke said lightly.
"Do you know where Yaoyao is?" Lu Xiangzhi asked in a low voice.
Murong Ke smiled. "I don't know, but we will find her eventually."
Lu Xiangzhi really did not know what to say to Murong Ke. His feelings for Yaoyao were deeper than he had imagined. If Yaoyao was not the empress, he would be able to understand the reason why Murong Ke did this, but Yaoyao was now the empress. Could Murong Ke obtain so much from him?
"Sixth Prince, do you really believe that Yaoyao is still alive?" Lu Xiangzhi walked over. So far, he had not received any news of Yao Yao. Sometimes, he wondered if he would never see her again. However, in the eyes of the Emperor and the Sixth Prince, Yao Yao must still be somewhere in the world. They all wanted to find her.
Murong Ke gently patted Lu Xiangzhi's shoulder, "Yaoyao won't die so easily."
Lu Xiangzhi sighed softly. "Sixth Prince, I hope you can find Yaoyao."
"This king will." Murong Ke smiled faintly and walked onto the ship. "Let's go back. There are still many things to deal with in Nanyue."
Looking at the man standing on the deck of the ship, the afterglow of the setting sun outlined his handsome side profile. Lu Xiangzhi could not see the expression on his face, but he felt that if Yaoyao saw this scene and knew that there was such a person who disregarded everything to find her, what would she think?
"Set sail." Murong Ke ordered in a low voice.
This ship was rushed out by Murong Ke in the past six months. Although it could not compare to the ship that Ye Yiqing had been building for more than ten years, it was enough for him to go out to sea to find her.
After leaving the inland sea, it was already a night. Song Jiong came behind Murong Ke. "Pavilion Master, Teng Ye wants to go out to sea with you."
Murong Ke remained silent and did not speak.
Song Jiong carefully looked at him, not knowing whether the Pavilion Master had forgiven Teng Ye or not.
"Teng Ye has been out to sea before … He might be more familiar. Pavilion Master, why not let him come with us." Song Jiong thought of Teng Ye's request and could only open his mouth to speak.
"Where is he?" Murong Ke asked after a moment.
When Song Jiong heard this, he understood that the Pavilion Master was willing to let Teng Ye come up, "He … He is in the cabin."
"If I don't let him follow, will he jump into the sea and swim back?" Murong Ke asked coldly.
"…" The smile on Song Jiong's face froze. He thought that the Pavilion Master had forgiven Teng Ye. Had he not? If he really jumped from here, no matter how high Teng Ye's martial arts were, he would be fed to the fish.
Murong Ke glanced at him lightly and snorted coldly. "Don't appear in front of me."
"Yes, Pavilion Master." Song Jiong cried.
…
…
The news that Murong Ke resigned from the position of Nanyue Governor quickly spread to the capital. Mo Rongyi, who was supervising the state, was stunned when he saw the memorial that Lu Xiangzhi sent back. He looked at Tang Zhen on the side. "Sixth Brother is not in Nanyue. Why did he leave?"
Tang Zhen looked up at Lu Shiming sitting opposite him. "Sixth Wangye may have other important things to do."
"Nanyue is still a mess now. What important things does Sixth Brother have?" Mo Rongyi said with a headache. This Sixth Brother was too willful. How could he leave at this time? At least wait for his brother to come back.
"Sixth Wangye should have gone to sea." Lu Shiming whispered. He also received Lu Xiangzhi's letter. He also had an indescribable complex feeling in his heart about what Murong Ke had done.
On the one hand, he hoped that Murong Ke could find Yao Yao. On the other hand, he thought of Yao Yao's identity as the Empress. If she was found by Murong Ke this time, he was afraid that the rumors circulating in the court would become worse.
Mo Rongyi froze for a moment. "Going to sea? Why did he go to sea? "
Tang Zhen lowered his head and didn't speak.
"Even if he went to sea … he can't ignore Nanyue." Mo Rongyi muttered. Then, he remembered something else. He had heard that Sixth Brother had once risked his life to save the Empress' sister-in-law from the Priest Hall. He did not think it was strange before, but later on, why would Sixth Brother do such a thing? He didn't even care about his brother.
Sixth Brother went to sea this time for the Empress' sister-in-law!
Tang Zhen whispered, "Little Prince, Sixth Wangye is not in Nanyue. Someone must take his place first."
Mo Rongyi came back to his senses. He glanced at Tang Zhen. "Isn't Lu Xiangzhi still in Nanyue? Let him take his place for now. "
"Prince, Lu Xiangzhi is still too young …" Lu Shiming hurriedly said.
"Youth is not a problem. No one knows the situation in Nanyue better than him." Mo Rongyi said.
Elder Xu nodded with a smile. Because Lu Xiangzhi was his student, he didn't speak up to help.
Mo Rongyi said, "I have to tell my brother about this."
I don't know what my brother would think if he knew that Sixth Brother went to sea to find the Empress' sister-in-law. He would be very angry.
What was Sixth Brother thinking …
