The Empress Dowager had two younger brothers, but only one of them was related by birth. The one who was conferred the title of Marquis was naturally Qiu Yaozong. As for the other brother, it was said that he had left the family many years ago and did not have much contact with Qiu Yaozong.
Qiu Yaozong only had one son, Qiu Zhenyuan. He used his identity as the Empress Dowager's nephew to act like a tyrant in the City of Wei. He didn't even care about the magistrate and the county magistrate of the City of Wei. He had flirted with countless girls, but most of them chose to swallow their anger. After all, no one dared to offend the Qiu Family in the City of Wei. If it wasn't for the fact that he had caused so much trouble, he probably wouldn't have aroused public anger.
The people in the City of Wei actually didn't know where the Qiu family had moved to. They all thought that Qiu Zhenyuan was escaping, so they found the Post Station Deputy because the Post Station Deputy was the other brother of the Empress Dowager, Qiu Yaozu. In their eyes, he and Qiu Zhenyuan were a family.
Qiu Yaozu didn't appear at the relay station because he wanted to avoid these commoners.
After hearing the whole story, Mo Rongzhan snorted angrily, "It really is the Qiu Family!"
He had long known that the Qiu Family was swaggering around in the City of Wei, but he did not expect that they would do such outrageous things. "If these people want to seek justice from the Qiu Family, why don't they go to the yamen? What's the use of coming to Qiu Yaozu?"
Eunuch Fu replied, "Your Majesty, I heard that the prefectural magistrate and the county magistrate don't dare to accept this case."
Mo Rongzhan's expression became even more unsightly. "Go find the prefectural magistrate."
"Yes." Eunuch Fu turned to leave.
"Come back!" Mo Rongzhan shouted. He remembered that Qiu Yaozong and his family were not in the City of Wei. Even if the magistrate wanted to judge the case, he had to wait for Qiu Zhenyuan to come back from the capital. "You can leave now. Tell me when Qiu Yaozong is here."
When Mo Rongzhan returned to the house, he saw Ye Zhen combing her hair.
"Awake?" The frost in Mo Rongzhan's eyes was replaced by a smile. He walked over and looked down at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen stood up and took Mo Rongzhan's hand and put it on her belly. "Early in the morning, you kicked me so hard that I couldn't sleep, and you kept kicking me harder and harder."
"He kicked you again?" Mo Rongzhan asked in surprise. "Why did he kick you so often these past two days?"
"That's because I'm growing up." Ye Zhen had a gentle and sweet smile on her face. "What are you doing out so early?"
Mo Rongzhan didn't really want to talk about the troublesome matters outside. He calmly said, "Some people came to look for the deputy."
Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "Is there a need to make a fuss to find a deputy? What did the deputy do? "
"It's not the deputy who did anything, it's the Qiu family." Mo Rongzhan briefly explained the ins and outs of the case to Ye Zhen. "… The Qiu family thought that no one would pursue the fact that Qiu Zhenyuan killed people when they arrived in the capital. The magistrates and county magistrates also thought that they would not dare to try the case under the protection of the Empress Dowager, so all those people came to find the post official."
"This Qiu Zhenyuan is so hateful." Ye Zhen frowned and scolded, "Does he think he can escape this matter by hiding?"
Mo Rongzhan said, "We will have someone specially investigate this case."
"Trial in the capital? Aren't you afraid that the Empress Dowager … "Ye Zhen felt that since the Empress Dowager let the Qiu family go to the capital, she should not let anything happen to the only son of the Qiu family. It was one thing for the Empress Dowager not to like the Qiu family, but another for the Qiu family to have no descendants.
"I will let the Qiu family personally try the case." Mo Rongzhan's thin lips evoked a faint smile. "If Qiu Zhenyuan is really guilty, he will be dealt with impartially."
Ye Zhen looked at him suspiciously. "The Qiu family?"
"Qiu Yaozu was originally the county magistrate of the City of Wei. He got the position by virtue of his own imperial examination. He and Qiu Yaozong are like fire and water, so they separated many years ago. Two years ago, someone went to the yamen to sue Qiu Zhenyuan. Qiu Yaozu wanted to handle the case impartially, but Qiu Yaozong backstabbed him. In the end, he was demoted to be the deputy of the post station.
"You want Qiu Yaozu to handle the case according to the imperial examination." Ye Zhen laughed. In this way, the Empress Dowager could not interfere with his trial, and the Qiu family could no longer frame him.
Mo Rongzhan said, "I will order him to become the commissioner of the case and come to the capital to hear the case today."
"Then, are we still leaving for Xia Province today?" Ye Zhen asked. If they left for Xia Province today, they should arrive in two days.
"Well, let's leave early." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Lu Lingzhi was in Anhe City. He wanted to go to Xia Province as soon as possible and kill Lu Lingzhi.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. "Then accompany me for breakfast."
… …
… …
At this time, Lu Lingzhi in Anhe City was also waiting for the arrival of Mo Rongzhan.
From the time he joined the army to fight, he had been following Mo Rongzhan. No one in the world knew better than him the cruelty and horror of Mo Rongzhan on the battlefield. In the past, Mo Rongzhan had no weaknesses, and nothing could threaten him. However, Lu Lingzhi was very clear that Mo Rongzhan had a weakness today, and that was Ye Zhen.
He believed that Mo Rongzhan would come after knowing that he was in Anhe City because he had a secret that Mo Rongzhan did not want Ye Zhen to know.
"Mister Ling, Xia Province has indeed retreated." The deputy general, who was left in Anhe City by Hai Gang, walked up the wall excitedly and came to Lu Lingzhi's side.
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. "Congratulations, General Chen. It seems that Xia Province will not launch another attack in a short time."
"How do you know?" General Chen asked. "No matter what, fortunately, I have Mister Ling's help. Otherwise, I am afraid I will not be able to defend Anhe City."
What does it have to do with him whether Anhe City can defend or not? Lu Lingzhi thought to himself. He only wanted to use Anhe City to control Mo Rongzhan and lure him here.
He wanted to kill Mo Rongzhan with his own hands!
If it weren't for Mo Rongzhan, his life would not be like this, and the Lu family would not end up like this. Only when Mo Rongzhan died could he have a chance to let Ye Zhen forgive him. Now, Ye Zhen was willing to be with Mo Rongzhan because she did not know what he had done.
"Mister Ling, if you can go to the Northern Dark Kingdom, you will be able to compete with Wan Ziliang. It is a waste of talent to stay in Western Liang." General Chen said.
Lu Lingzhi said faintly, "I don't have the courage of General Wan. I can only stop him here."
"Then …" General Chen looked at him. "How long will Mister Ling stay in Anhe City?"
"If your morale is high, maybe you can retake Xia Province." Lu Lingzhi said.
This made General Chen even more excited. "Since Mister Ling fought for us in Xia Province, our morale is very high now."
"That's a good thing." Lu Lingzhi smiled.
Mo Rongzhan should almost arrive in Xia Province.
"If we can retake Xia Province, our emperor will be very happy. Maybe he will make Mister Ling a general of the Northern Dark Kingdom. No, with Mister Ling's talent, he can even become a prime minister."
Lu Lingzhi just smiled faintly.
