I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 541: I guessed it right
Xing Yi only heard a little bit about it and knew less than Luo Qianhuai.

"Where is Xing Xuan?" Luo Qianhuai asked.

"She should still be in Qinglu Garden." Xingyi's voice was a little hesitant, which aroused Luo Qianhuai's suspicion.

"She claims that I'm her mistress, but she wants to hide everything from me." Luo Qianhuai said coldly, "I'm afraid I can't afford to use someone like this."

Xing Yi and Xing Wu knelt down with a plop, and said tremblingly on the ground:
"It's not that I'm bold, but the Marquis has said so beforehand, and I'm afraid it will affect your rest."

If this was said in the past, Luo Qianhuai actually didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But for some reason, since getting married, her tolerance for Mr. Mo has become lower and lower, and her confidence in speaking has become stronger and stronger.

"Since you think his words are more important than mine, then go to the front yard and serve the Marquis. There is no need to appear in front of me anymore." She lowered her brows and said lightly.

Xingyi's forehead hit the ground with a loud bang for more than ten times. When he raised his head again, there was a trace of blood.

"No need to pretend." Although Luo Qianhuai felt sorry for it, he remained calm on the surface: "If you still don't want to tell me, then go away. Don't disturb my mood for dinner."

Before she finished her words, the door was pushed open.

"Who has the guts to displease the Madam?" Master Mo, dressed in deep clothes and a jade crown, walked in with a smile on his eyes. When his gaze fell on Xing Yi and Xing Wu, there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

"Go down and receive your punishment." He said calmly.

Luo Qianhuai watched Xing Yi and Xing Wu retreat in embarrassment with cold eyes, and scooped up a jade-white shepherd's purse wonton, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Mr. Mo was not annoyed and sat next to her.

"Madam, do you want to know what happened last night?" He asked gently, holding the corner of his robe with one hand, picked up a piece of honey-roasted pigeon breast for her and put it on her plate.

Luo Qianhuai raised his eyes and glanced at him. Although he had not slept all night, he was still cool and handsome, with a handsome face like jade. There was no sign of decadence on his face. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the favor of God on some people.

Although she didn't say a word, Master Mo already understood her intention and told her everything.

Last night's battle was a calculated one. Luo Qianhuai accidentally managed to contain the enemy with his words, which provided precious time for Mr. Mo and his team to sneak in and launch a surprise attack, so it was a great victory.

Eight of the enemy were captured alive, and the rest either died in battle or committed suicide. The guards had their own ways to make life worse than death, so before dawn, they had already obtained a detailed confession - it was really done by King Xingping.

After accidentally discovering this mineral vein, he sent people to engage in illegal mining under the nose of Princess Yong'an.

Han Min'er seems smart, but in fact she is addicted to power and pleasure, and has no idea about these things. Besides, she has plenty of money to support the imperial garden, so she doesn't need to go up the mountain to chop wood, hunt and pick mushrooms frequently.

Therefore, Qinglu Garden and the mine had always been at peace at that time. In fact, because of her, many guards were stationed at the foot of Shiyu Mountain to block civilians from entering the mountain, so their secret passage was always unknown.

After Han Min'er's accident, everything changed. Not only did the farmers in Qingluyuan often go into the mountains to hunt, but other common people in the surrounding area also came to the mountains every few days to try their luck, and several times they accidentally discovered clues.

Xingping County was flat and flat, with no mineral deposits. Since the King of Xingping had great ambitions, he would never give up the hematite he had finally obtained. So the short and fat man, the counselor in charge of the palace, came up with an idea. He first created supernatural events to scare the locals away from entering the mountain. After the Qinglu Garden changed its owner, he continued to intimidate the new owner so that she would never dare to come here again.

Originally I thought that I was just trying to scare the young lady, so I used the three moves of Broken Wood, Blood Pond and Fire Deer in succession, which was already a big effort. I didn't expect that she was not afraid at all, and she followed the clues to take down the whole place.

This strategist was lucky. Although he was hit by several arrows and seemed to be dead, when his body was examined later, it was discovered that he was still alive.

The fat you gain with great effort is not useless; it can also serve as a solid meat shield for you.

This man was used to a life of luxury and could not endure pain or hunger. He was the first to speak among all the captives and successfully secured his position as the first tainted witness, thus temporarily saving his life.

When Master Mo entered the palace early in the morning, he took him with him and reported everything that had happened one by one, only deliberately concealing Luo Qianhuai's role in it.

This was also agreed with the short and fat guy in advance.

He was a man who valued his life. He had witnessed with his own eyes the cruelty of Mr. Mo and others. He knew that if he offended such people, even the emperor might not be able to save him, so he did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

In Yu Yan's eyes, this arrest was the first action after the establishment of the Zhengguan Division. He was very satisfied with the fact that Master Mo was able to integrate the soldiers and guards drawn from various places in such a short time, and actively exerted the power of the knights who had joined him to jointly solve the case of the rebellion of Prince Xingping, and he was not stingy in giving high praise.

However, Master Mo was neither arrogant nor impatient. Instead, he thanked the young emperor for his trust in him. It was because of him that he could mobilize the best troops and appoint the right people to the right positions, which made it impossible for the villains to escape. He was simply a sage king like me. Yu Yan was extremely happy and felt that Yu Chu was knowledgeable, interesting and capable, and that he was very wise to promote him out of the ordinary.

Because the matter involved the foreign king's rebellion, a grand court meeting was held temporarily in the morning, and several regents and important officials in the court participated in the discussion.

It is a serious crime for the foreign king to open an iron mine privately, and to illegally mine across borders for a long time, and even to kill people to cover it up, is a heinous crime that is unforgivable.

The meeting unanimously passed the decision to abolish the fiefdom of Xingping County and execute his entire family for the crime of treason, and then discussed with great interest who would be the most appropriate person to send to lead the troops to announce the order and kill him.

But these things had nothing to do with Master Mo. As soon as the court was dismissed, he returned home immediately. When he heard that Luo Qianhuai had woken up, he went straight into the backyard.

When Luo Qianhuai heard this, although he still didn't say anything, he took the bowl and served him a bowl of wontons.

Mr. Mo hadn't eaten since last night, and after talking for a while, he was indeed hungry.

He took it casually and continued to tell her about the people and things she might be concerned about while eating.

The miners did not resist. As soon as they saw them, they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and surrendered. For the sake of Luo Qianhuai, Master Mo let them go.

After a night of investigation, she found that most of them were young and middle-aged men who were abducted from Xingping County, and a few were hunters and farmers who had strayed here.

The people who had disappeared from Qinglu Garden earlier were also among them. Two of the children had been tortured to the point of being emaciated. If they were left a few days later, they would probably have lost their lives.

"Yinyin, don't worry. I have sent people to register. Those who belong to the surrounding families will be sent back directly. Those who come from Xingping County will need to wait until King Xingping is executed before sending people to escort them home."
