Chapter 301: Backhand

Shen Jiaojiao didn't mean to force Mo Wei to answer.

In her eyes, Mo Qian was even willing to give her the jade pendant that could command the Shen family army, which showed that he trusted her very much.

She was also willing to give the Mo family this trust.

"Forget about it. He's not an important person. Come, let's sit down and talk."

She patted Mo Wei's hand, pulled her to sit at the round table, and poured a cup of tea herself and placed it in front of Mo Wei.

"Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. You must be cold after all this walking."

Mo Wei shook his head, holding the warm teacup, and continued speaking.

"Shen Dalu was an accident. He belonged to the second generation of the Shen family army. After his father passed away, my father sent someone to take him to the camp and raise him. Who would have thought that he would become a bandit leader later..."

His tone was quite annoyed, and it was obvious that Mo Wei was also a little depressed about this matter——

The descendant of the Shen family army actually produced a bandit leader. If this were to get out, it would bring disgrace to General Shen!

Shen Jiaojiao covered her lips and burst out laughing, "Then it was just a coincidence for him to be a bandit and save my life."

"The lady is still smiling."

The worry on Mo Wei's face did not diminish.

"Now that he has been recruited by Meng Hun, it is both a good thing and a bad thing. Although he can take care of the young lady at close range, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if Meng Hun knows his identity?"

"My brother will check."

"Yes, if it is traced back to you, how will you explain it?"

Shen Jiaojiao was speechless and couldn't utter a word.

The Shen family army has a close relationship with her.

She had talked about this jade pendant with her brother-in-law before. What if he found out that the jade pendant was on her?

Would my brother really not be angry after being deceived again and again?
"I, I don't know." She shook her head and squeezed the fish-shaped jade pendant even tighter.

"Miss, you have to cheer up." Mo Wei held her hand, along with the jade pendant, "My father is far away in the capital now, I can't protect you."

Shen Jiaojiao was surprised to hear that Mo Qian had gone to the capital, but she did not ignore Mo Wei's words asking her to cheer up.

"What do you want me to do? What is Uncle Mo doing in Beijing?"

Mo Wei stared into her eyes and lowered his voice even more.

"Miss, the children in the orphanage cannot be helped at the moment, but... the Shen family army is ready. If you don't want to be in a passive situation, you should contact them.

"It is difficult for Lin'an City to maintain its former tranquility. From the intelligence I have gathered so far, Prince Qing wants to rebel! Lin'an is the first stop he chose!
"You were abducted from the Meng Mansion two days ago, which was one of the schemes of King Qing. He wanted to use you to get into the Meng Mansion. Perhaps annexing the Meng Mansion is his goal."

After listening to Mo Wei's story, Shen Jiaojiao's heart trembled and her fingertips also trembled slightly.

Over the past decade, she has been brought up by the Meng family into a gentle and submissive young lady who has never even seen a few dead people. How could she dare to interfere in the situation in the court?

but……

Prince Qing wanted to accomplish his goal, why did he want to harm her?

If you dare to harm her, you must pay the price!
"Okay, I understand." She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. "Who is the current leader of the Shen family army? How can I contact him?"

Mo Wei smiled and said, "Miss can't leave the house right now, just tell me directly. When you leave the house one day, I will bring her to see you."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she told the Shen family army what needed to be done right now.

"Tell them to send more people to look for Murong Zi, and be careful to avoid my brother's men. Remember, I want to find the person alive or the body dead. I will tell you the exact location later.

“Go check Yichunyuan, which should be the property of Prince Qing, and sort out the sphere of influence of Yichunyuan.

"Prince Qing is currently living in the Lin Mansion. Go investigate the Lin family and find out why the Lin family switched sides to Prince Qing's camp. Does Prince Qing have any evidence against them?
"Let's investigate the theft in Wei's mansion. Prefect Wei lost something bestowed by the emperor. This matter could be a big deal or a small one. I don't want Prince Qing to find any evidence against Prefect Wei."

After saying that, she looked at Mo Wei expectantly. "How is it? Can you do this?"

"As long as the young lady has an order, the Shen family army will definitely go through fire and water, and will not hesitate. Besides..." Mo Wei paused and smiled meaningfully, "I have already found out the second thing the young lady ordered."

"Really?!" Shen Jiaojiao was surprised.

The Shen family army is indeed worthy of its reputation!

Ever since she learned that Murong Zi was a subordinate of Prince Qing, she asked Ke Xin to pass the message to Mo Wei. Originally, she wanted Mo Wei and others to investigate the relationship between Murong Zi and Prince Qing.

Unexpectedly, Mo Wei gave her such a big surprise.

According to Mo Wei, Murong Zi was able to quickly gain a foothold in Lin'an entirely thanks to Prince Qing.

He is indeed Prince Qing's man, and Yichunyuan is the intelligence station where he secretly helps Prince Qing collect information from all parties.

In addition, Murong Zi would hand over the annual profits to accumulate a large amount of wealth for King Qing.

Prince Qing is indeed an ambitious man.

There are Yichunyuan in all important towns of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is their channel for collecting and transmitting information; and supporting and cultivating Murong Zi is for the purpose of taking control of Lin'an and the Jiangnan area.

However, achieving success is never easy.

Currently, the only thing Prince Qing can control is the territory of Lin'an City - that is, the underground forces controlled by Murong Zi.

Shen Jiaojiao thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "You mean, Prince Qing will choose Lin'an as..."

The word "rebellion" was too heavy for her to say.

Mo Wei nodded seriously, "Yes, we speculate that Prince Qing wants to use Lin'an as a starting point to further encroach on the territory of Jiangnan. What we know now is that the Lin family has defected to Prince Qing's camp, and the other three families have been threatened."

Shen Jiaojiao waved her hand and turned the topic back to Murong Zi.

"Brother will follow up on the affairs of the four major families. I am more concerned about Murong Zi. Doesn't he have any backup plans?"

"Young lady is very smart." Mo Wei praised her. "Earlier, Pavilion Master Murong had been sending people to contact our people. Although we ignored them, we were still familiar with them. This morning, this person suddenly came to our door..."

Shen Jiaojiao was so excited that she pushed the table with both hands and stood up.

"Is there any news about Murong Zi?!"

Mo Wei shook his head, "There is no news from Pavilion Master Murong. That person came to give us something."

"what?"

"Evidence that Prince Qing intends to rebel!"

"W-what?!" She hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth to prevent her scream from escaping.

Mo Wei brought all the information in and wanted to hand it to Shen Jiaojiao.

However, Shen Jiaojiao did not dare to take this hot potato.

She knew herself very well and knew that with her own abilities, she definitely could not overthrow Prince Qing.

Unless... this information is in the hands of someone more powerful.

For example, my brother!
After thinking this through, she took a deep breath and said, "Leave the information here. I'll give it to my brother when I have time."

Mo Wei frowned, disagreeing with her decision.

"Miss, please don't rely on Meng Hun for everything. If you get hurt in the future..."

The following words were not continued.

Mo Wei put the information hidden in his arms on the table.

Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and she felt something was wrong.

"Brother, what's wrong? Did you find evidence that the Meng family framed my father?"
