Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 397: Mo Lian Got It (1)
Mocheng is a very peaceful city. Although it encounters major or minor floods and droughts almost every year, perhaps it is precisely because of this that the people here feel more at ease.

Today's Mocheng is as peaceful as ever. Now that mid-April has entered the rainy season of the year, the people in the city are still happy. Especially after having the experience of last year, they feel more at ease this year. No matter how they feel, It shouldn't be worse than last year, after all, after a year of construction, the project is getting bigger and more reliable.

The sun is shining brightly, and the common people are walking in the streets and alleys, enjoying themselves, just like any other day, but today is a little different from usual, because this kind of tranquility is quickly broken by the sound of horseshoes.

This wave of horseshoes came from outside the city, swept all the way into the official hall, and when the common people were watching and commenting and guessing who was going straight to the government in such a powerful and arrogant way, there were more people in the blink of an eye. The people and horses rushed out from the government office and went straight to the west of the city.

"What happened?"

The common people are discussing one after another, the gossip generated by being too peaceful is much more than that in any other place. Groups of people gather together to chat enthusiastically, and some people simply follow the past, wanting to go Find out what the hell is going on.

So soon, news spread layer by layer, and the people in the whole city soon knew that the Third Highness had come down!

Before the excited crowd had finished digesting this news, there was another news spread, saying that His Highness the Third Highness led people to the Lu family, oh no, he just rode his horse and whipped his whip, and rushed into the Lu family in such an aggressive manner !

As soon as this news came out, the whole city was in an uproar. It has to be said that the Lu family's reputation in Mocheng is indeed very high, and many people began to support the Lu family.However, before they had a big reaction, the third news spread.

The Lu family bribed the ministers in order to obtain the right to supply all kinds of materials for the water conservancy project in Zizhou at this moment. His Highness the Third Highness is kind, thinking that as long as the Lu family can do things carefully, he can't bear to be too embarrassing, but he doesn't want the Lu family to take advantage of this situation. It is convenient to make huge profits. After collecting huge amounts of money from the court, not only is it ungrateful to benefit the people, but it also mixes some low-quality materials into it, shoddy.

As a result, the people of Mocheng became silent all of a sudden.

Some people still don't believe that the always benevolent Lu family would do such an unreasonable thing, but when the papers of criminal evidence are posted without any cover, those who don't want to believe it will have to believe it.

Zizhou Water Conservancy is a matter that benefits the people and attracts the attention of millions of people. Thinking that they will get rid of the troubles of floods and droughts every year in the future, and thinking that there will be no worries about the rainy season and no worries about the dry season, they feel that the future is bright. At this time, they couldn't tolerate a single grain of sand in their eyes, and the Lu family sent the inferior materials too much. How could it not arouse public anger?

Not only the people who were closely related, Jun Xiuran was also furious.

He only wanted to accuse the Lu family of bribing court officials, because his goal was just that Mo Lian, and he never thought that the Lu family would be so bold, nor did he think that those officials would be greedy. So far, they dared to collude with each other and send a large amount of inferior materials to the Quhe River.

As soon as he discovered this problem, he immediately put down all the other things in his hands, and after investigating with all his strength, he found out a series of problems. The problems were so serious that he couldn't even care about Mo Lian for the time being.

The Lu family colluded with the top officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and many officials of the Ministry of Industry were also involved. Some time ago, a young official of the Ministry of Industry was accidentally killed by a falling boulder while supervising the fortification.Of course, this incident was indeed reported to Jun Xiuran, but this kind of accident is too inconspicuous in such a project. After he knew about this incident, he just expressed his condolences. It was not until a few days ago that he realized that it was not so serious. Simple.

I heard that the young official had a dispute with a certain superior a few days before the accident, and Jun Xiuran now knew what the dispute was about.

A few days ago, Jun Xiuran was trying to catch the Lu family bribing court officials by the tail. Suddenly, a small official from the Ministry of Industry stopped the way to ask for an interview, and told him everything he knew. He was filled with righteous indignation, weeping bitterly, and terrified , with a mortal heart.

The official from the Ministry of Industry who was stoned to death was a good friend of his for 18 years, and they had grown up playing together since birth. The two had a friendship of more than 20 years. A pair of young children, also ordered a doll kiss.

So at this moment, Jun Xiuran rushed directly into the gate of the Lu family with the troops he had assembled urgently, and sealed off the inside and outside of the Lu family.

What?The Third Highness took the princess's little son out of Beijing, and only brought two guards with him?

Are you joking?You idiots, that's just on the surface for you to see!

In front of the posted notice, there were crowds of people. The people of Mocheng gathered here for a long time and did not leave. Mo Chenxuan also appeared here at this moment, but he could not approach him within at least one step around him. He stood there and looked up at the notice with a look of It's hard to hide a bit of surprise.

"Master, Your Highness the Third Highness is so fast." The attendant beside him said softly, frowning slightly worried.

Mo Chenxuan quickly put away his expression, looked at the notice thoughtfully, and said, "What does he want to do? He is not afraid of causing public anger in the court by so hastily announcing this matter to the world? This is really... ...A lot of officials from the court and the central government were involved."

"That's a headache for him, and it has nothing to do with us. It would be better for those officials to attack him and tie him down. It would be better for us."

He felt that what he said was quite good, and the facts were indeed true, and there was nothing wrong with that, but what happened to the look that the master suddenly looked at?How did it make him feel chilly?

But Mo Chenxuan withdrew his gaze again, turned around and walked out of the crowd, muttering as if talking to himself: "The officials I have seen in the past are all reserved in their words and demeanor, and if there is nothing to do, you have to go around three times first." If something happens, you will first think about how to hide it, and then slowly find a way to get out, there is no way to directly announce it to the world like the Third Highness."

His subordinate looked at his master inexplicably, always feeling that the master's reaction was a bit strange, but Uncle Mo suddenly sighed softly, and then suddenly showed his face inexplicably, smiling brightly and shimmeringly, and turned to the two people who happened to be passing by. The girl was fascinated for a while, and stood there blankly looking at him, not even noticing that the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.

It wasn't until he walked away that he couldn't see the figure anymore, the two girls woke up suddenly, and hurriedly covered up their gaffe, but they couldn't hide their blushing, and the spring in their eyes.

Uncle Mo walked recklessly and unrestrainedly, but the entourage around him kept looking back, with regretful expressions on their faces.
