I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 341 Blowing up a pool of spring water

Luo Qianhuai also didn't expect that Wang Tai would change so much when they met again.

Gao Yang recognized Wang Tai. Taking stock of the influential figures in Xijing City in recent days, Wang Tai must be at the top of the list. In order to make up for the unreasonable disaster suffered by his mother's family, the young emperor treated his cousin with great honor and favor, and he received a steady stream of favors and rewards.

Qian'er also made Wang Tai the Marquis of Feng'an. Although he was only a Marquis of Guannei, he also granted him a mansion and a city, and arranged for hundreds of Southern army retinues to guard him. Shenglongzhilong was far beyond comparison with others.

The name of Dinghou Gaoyang was indeed resounding. He usually relied on his merits as the only one among the twelve heroes of Lingyun Pavilion who still retained his title, and would do things to bully men and dominate women. The late emperor would often laugh it off, so he became more and more courageous. Come bigger.

But this does not mean that he is really stupid and wants to compete with a hot upstart like Wang Tai.

"It turns out that this young lady is an old acquaintance of Marquis Feng'an?" Gao Yang smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "I didn't mean any harm at all. It was just a misunderstanding before."

Luo Qianhuai didn't say anything, but Xingxuan glared at him fiercely: "The Marquis's misunderstanding is that he wants to take my wife back by force. Who do you think he cares about the status you gave me?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? I just have good intentions. I want to invite the young lady back for tea. If you don't want to, then forget it."

As he spoke, he turned to Wang Tai and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Marquis Feng'an. I still have something to do, so I'll take a step ahead so as not to disturb you and reminisce with this young lady. We will hold a special banquet to congratulate the Marquis another day. "My Lord is promoted"

Before he finished speaking, and without waiting for Wang Tai to say anything, Gao Yang greased the soles of his feet, quickly got into the carriage, and disappeared quickly with his entourage.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your help." Luo Qianhuai saluted solemnly and thanked him.

"It's a small effort, Madam Luo. You don't have to be polite." Wang Tai said warmly: "Tai originally wanted to make a special trip to thank Madam for saving her life. They say it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Why not let Tai take charge today? How about entertaining Madam? ?”

It was still early, so Luo Qianhuai responded. In her eyes, Wang Tai is still a child, so she doesn't feel the need to avoid suspicion when riding with him.

But when she got there, she felt a little regretful. If she had known that Wang Tai's banquet was in the Xingxing Tower, she would definitely not have agreed to come.

But I guess Mr. Mo is also a busy man, so he may not pay attention to every guest in the building, right?
Marquis Feng'an, a newly wealthy man in Xijing City, came to visit, and the shopkeeper He Qing naturally welcomed him personally. Luo Qianhuai just pretended to be a stranger, and He Qing acted very freely. He just turned around and reported the matter to Mr. Mo.

At that time, Mr. Mo was absentmindedly listening to Wei Ying's report. After hearing the news, he waved his hand to stop him:
"Tell me again, where did Mrs. Luo go today?"

He Qing is a strict subordinate. In order to prevent him from asking divergent questions, he had already found out Luo Qianhuai's whereabouts today before coming to meet Mr. Mo. She was even picked up by Jing Yuan. Xijing’s purpose was also clearly explained.

It was precisely because he knew Madam Luo's position in the heart of his master that he came to report her as soon as possible.

"Jingyuan intended to marry Madam Luo to Cui Jiu as his concubine. But the matter probably failed to happen, so after Madam Luo left Cui Mansion, she was stopped by Gao Yang in the street with evil intentions. Fortunately, Feng'an Hou Wangtai arrived in time, and Gao Yang Leave in anger."

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the entire desk in front of Mr. Mo, as well as the valuable Duan inkstone and ink on it, all turned into fine powder and scattered to the ground.

Wei Ying had just sent He Qing countless winks, but none of them were received. Now he had no choice but to kneel down with He Qing.

Mr. Mo was silent for a while, and then he spoke. His voice, which had always been clear and clear, seemed to have been burnt from the inside out, becoming darker than ever before.

"Wei Ying, what else do you have to say?" Wei Ying pressed his forehead tightly against the cold floor tiles.

"Young master, you have agreed to marry the Zhang family, and a matchmaker will be sent to your door soon. Although Mrs. Luo is a good woman, she has no chance to meet you. My subordinates no longer need to pay special attention to her movements. They are also following the young master. You do what you want - otherwise, wouldn’t you have not asked about her again for so long?”

This last sentence suddenly eliminated most of Mr. Mo Yantian's anger.

There was a wry smile on his lips, and he looked down at his hands. There was already a trace of blood oozing from the palm of his hand due to excessive force, but the tingling sensation of slight swelling was far less than the pain in his heart.

"Young Master." Wei Cang, who was also kneeling with her, said, "Madam Luo is smart and astute. These little things are nothing more than a piece of cake for her. You don't need to worry too much."

"Really?" Mr. Mo seemed to ask rhetorically, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

He pondered for another moment, then said to Wei Ying: "Go and find out why Jing Yuan suddenly wanted to give Mrs. Luo to Cui Jiu."

Wei Ying knew that most of what he just said was quibbling, and there was no way he could escape the Young Master's eyes.

It was a capital offense to conceal the information without the Young Master's explicit order. He had already been mentally prepared to be dealt with, but he was suddenly assigned a new mission, which was like being reborn.

He jumped up from the ground and rushed out quickly, only to return in time for a cup of tea.

"Mr. Zhang?" Mr. Mo asked in surprise, "Did he kill people to silence them, and then try to push Jing Yuan to take the blame? He could have done the first part, but he shouldn't have taken the blame."

Wei Ying said: "Although Mr. Zhang is not a subordinate of the young master, he has always been sincere to the young master. He had no choice but to silence him. He did not expect that it would lead to death. Although he himself has been exempted from crime because of his brother's plea, he still has no choice. We must give an explanation to the Young Emperor."

"It's not that Mr. Zhang doesn't know that Jing Yuan is kind to me." Mr. Mo still couldn't figure it out.

"Sir, according to what Mr. Zhang said, Jing Yuan's several favors to you were not out of his true intentions. Over the years, it has become clear that he is really a traitor and a traitor. It is better to get rid of him now to avoid being hijacked for favors in the future. Picture report."

Mr. Mo shook his head without thinking: "No."

He stood up and walked on the ground for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and said, "Send a message to Mr. Zhang. Tomorrow's affairs have already been prepared, so there is no need to add any extraneous details - he will naturally know how to do it."

"Yes." Wei Ying took the order and Master Mo pondered for a long time again, with a smile gradually appearing on his face.

"Wei Cang." He said, "Go and tell Shangguan Jin that Duke Zhang wants to betroth his granddaughter to me."

"Young Master?" Wei Cang was so shocked that his eyes widened: "Shangguan Jin is a narrow-minded person who will definitely retaliate. I haven't even mentioned this in the first place. If it reaches his ears, he will definitely be disturbed."

Mr. Mo looked at him deeply, which made Wei Cang tremble in his heart:

"Sir, you couldn't have done it on purpose. I understand, and I will do it now!"
