The people who came to see the deputy hadn't left yet. They wouldn't leave until they got an answer. Whose daughter hadn't been raised by a beast? How could they not want justice?
The commoners who had come to look for the deputy had yet to leave. They would not leave until they received an answer. Whose daughter had not been raised painstakingly? Now that she had been defiled by a beast, how could they not want justice?
When Qiu Yaozu was dragged here, he thought Shen Yi was a hired thug. He didn't expect it to be the Lord who found him.
Mo Rongzhan didn't show up. He just asked Murong Ke to see Qiu Yaozu and take the Emperor's decree to make Qiu Yaozu a special minister. He would go to the capital to arrest Qiu Zhenyuan and get to the bottom of the case.
"Lord …" Qiu Yaozu didn't react. The Lord didn't want to arrest him, but wanted him to try the case? "What, what's going on?"
"He wants you to go to the capital and handle the case impartially," Murong Ke said. "Everything only needs to be reported to the young Lord in the capital. Don't pay attention to others."
Qiu Yaozu asked in a low voice, "Lord, what about the Empress Dowager …"
"Do what is written in the decree. Does it mention that the Empress Dowager can intervene in the case?" Murong Ke asked.
"I understand." Qiu Yaozu was surprised and happy. He didn't know what was going on. Didn't Qiu Yaozong and his family just go to the capital? The Emperor wanted to investigate Qiu Zhenyuan.
Qiu Zhenyuan was the Empress Dowager's nephew!
Could it be that this handwritten decree was fake?
"Lord Qiu, these are the Emperor's guards. They will escort you to the capital to try the case," Murong Ke said, pointing to the two secret guards.
"Yes." Why were the Emperor's secret guards here? Qiu Yaozu was shocked. He immediately understood why the Emperor's decree was here. How did the Emperor, who was far away in Xia Province, know about the station? The only answer was that the Emperor was here!
That's right, this would explain why the Emperor's edict and the hidden guards could appear here!
The Emperor didn't see him in person because he wanted to hide his whereabouts. After all, there was no news from Xia Province that the Emperor had left.
"Lord Qiu is a smart man." Murong Ke said with a smile. Although they were both brothers of the Empress Dowager, Qiu Yaozu looked righteous. Maybe because he was the son of a concubine, he was bullied in the Qiu family. Otherwise, he would not have separated from the family so early.
Qiu Yaozu said, "This lowly official only hopes to live up to His Majesty's expectations."
"I will do what I have to do. I will not disappoint the Emperor," Murong Ke said.
"Your Highness, after all … After all, he is the Empress Dowager's nephew," Qiu Yaozu said.
Murong Ke patted his shoulder, "Lord Qiu, you are also the younger brother of the Empress Dowager."
Qiu Yaozu smiled bitterly. "Wangye, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager has forgotten this lowly official's younger brother."
"Even if the Empress Dowager forgets, it's fine as long as the Emperor remembers." Murong Ke said.
Qiu Yaozu bowed to Murong Ke. "Thank you for your guidance, Prince."
Murong Ke smiled faintly. "Lord Qiu, prepare to depart for the capital."
"Yes." Qiu Yaozu smiled.
When the families of the victims who were still waiting outside the courier station learned that Qiu Yaozu was going to the capital to hear the case, and as a special case officer, they all cheered and immediately discussed who to send to the capital.
The courier station regained its calm, and Mo Rongzhan also ordered to depart for Xia Province.
…
…
There were no courier stations on the way from Wei City to Xia Province. Mo Rongzhan could have arrived in two days, but he did not hurry because of Ye Zhen's health.
Since Mo Rongzhan planned to go to Xia Province, Murong Ke still did not give up persuading him to return to the capital. After several attempts, Mo Rongzhan simply refused to see him.
"Ah Zhan, I am doing this for your own good. You must go to Xia Province. You want to kill Lu Lingzhi. I will personally bring his head to see you, okay?" Murong Ke caught up with Mo Rongzhan in front of him.
It was rare that this old man did not continue to hide in the carriage.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him. "I told you not to worry about Qian Luocha anymore. Can you do it?"
"If I don't care about Qian Luocha, you can destroy it, right?" Murong Ke asked angrily.
"I am also doing this for your own good." Mo Rongzhan said matter-of-factly.
"What exactly are you afraid of?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice. If it was not a taboo, why did he have to personally kill Lu Lingzhi? Why did he feel at ease to bring Yao Yao back to the capital before Lu Lingzhi went to Anhe City?
Mo Rongzhan was indeed afraid. He did not want others to know Yao Yao's secret. No one knew what Lu Lingzhi would say.
"Lu Lingzhi is too cunning and insidious. You don't know him." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
"Are you underestimating me?" Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and asked.
Mo Rongzhan chuckled. "Underestimating the famous Qian Luocha Pavilion Master?"
Murong Ke laughed. "Elder Zhuo must be very regretful that he did not give Qian Luocha to you."
"Where is Elder Zhuo now?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Most of the people in Qian Luocha are descendants of the previous dynasty. Elder Zhuo could not order them to kill, so he wanted to kill Huangfu Chen. He thought that if Huangfu Chen died, those people would crowd around Eldest Senior Brother. He did not know that Eldest Senior Brother and the others did not want to restore the previous dynasty." Murong Ke said lightly, "His whereabouts are unknown now."
Unknown whereabouts? Either he was killed, or he was still hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to plot.
"The entire world is the descendants of the previous dynasty. One should look forward," Mo Rongzhan said.
"Why should we care about people who are useless?" Murong Ke smiled. "On the other hand, Huangfu Chen … Ah Zhan, how much do you know about him?"
Qi Ruoshui would not capture Huangfu Chen for no reason. She even went through the trouble of capturing Yao Yao to threaten him. She must know something, otherwise she would not have done so.
Mo Rongzhan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I have known him for many years. He is not an ambitious person."
"If he has no ambition, then what about the people around him?" Murong Ke asked. He had no opinion about Huangfu Chen. If not for Huangfu Chen, he might not have been able to leave the Priest Hall. However, Qi Ruoshui must have done this for a reason.
Mo Rongzhan turned back to look at Murong Ke. "Ah Ke, I know who is behind Huangfu Chen. I have never doubted him."
Murong Ke frowned slightly.
"A peaceful and peaceful life is hard to come by. I will not disturb their lives. Huangfu Chen will understand what I mean," Mo Rongzhan said.
"I finally understand why you can become so powerful in just a few years." Murong Ke sighed. "You are more suitable to be the Emperor of Jin Kingdom than anyone else."
"I want the world," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. His eyes were shining as he looked forward, his whole body exuding an intimidating aura.
Murong Ke's heart warmed. A strong feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. He almost wanted to say that he was willing to follow Mo Rongzhan to conquer the world.
"You want the world. Don't hurt her," Murong Ke said in a low voice. It was not easy to have power and beauty at the same time.
Mo Rongzhan looked at him fiercely. "Why would I hurt her!"
