Chapter Forty-Nine: The Mysterious Masked Man
The poisonous snake incident has not yet been investigated, Mo Chenyu will naturally not give up, instead of sitting and waiting for death, he plans to take the initiative.
"Qin Feng, keep an eye on Lian Xing'en, pay attention to all his whereabouts, he has just been fined for a year, and Prime Minister Lian, who loves money like his life, will naturally not honestly stay at home and not go out." Mo Chenyu's dark eyes changed brightly and darkly, and there was a hint of anger on his face.
As Mo Chenyu expected, Lian Xingen really sneaked out of the mansion in the dead of night, turned around, walked through a few streets, walked through a few alleys, and stopped in front of a house.
Lian Xingen looked around, saw that there was no one around, then knocked on the door and walked into the house.
Qin Feng flew to the roof of the house, secretly removed a piece of tile, and looked into the house through the gap to see who was in the house.
A man wearing a strange mask and a black cloak spoke, "Prime Minister Lian, the caravan from the Western Regions has just brought a batch of fine agate corals, you can quickly dispose of them, the things are still in the old place, and after they are settled, come to me with a silver ticket." "The masked man also spoke in a strange voice, as if he was deliberately suppressing his voice.
Lian Xingen looked embarrassed, "Aren't you embarrassing me?" Last time you told me that it was the best celadon, the result is defective, I wasted a lot of effort to find some people who don't understand porcelain to sell at a low price, and this time the agate coral is not good, not to say, the key is that many people do not understand agate coral, large families are not lacking in the family, small households can not buy things they can not appreciate. ”
As soon as Lian Xing'en's voice fell, the masked man became angry, "I'm not discussing with you, I'm ordering you, will the good things be handed over to you to take action?" Don't forget that you have the handle in my hands, in case I am not happy to spread the news, you, and your entire Prime Minister's Mansion, oh! And your daughter who is a side concubine," the masked man said playfully, "you know what the end will be." ”
Lian Xingen wiped her cold sweat and looked panicked, "I understand." He quickly turned and left, not wanting to stay any longer.
Qin Feng told Mo Chenyu what he saw, "Lord Wang, what Prime Minister Lian has done will affect you in the future." ”
Mo Chenyu took the case, "I thought that Lian Xingen was just doing some serious business with the caravan in the Western Regions, but I didn't expect him to collude with others to take inferior things to circle his own people's money, how could this kind of thing be tolerated by the king." ”
"Then what is the prince going to do?" Qin Feng looked at Mo Chenyu's angry expression and asked.
"First send someone to follow Lotus Xingen to see where the old nest of the caravan in the Western Regions is, and then find someone to buy the agate coral from Lotus Xingen," Mo Chenyu wanted to kill two birds with one stone this time.
"Lord Wang, who is that mysterious man wearing a mask? Does the prince have eyebrows? ”
"As this king expected, that mysterious masked man should be the one who has wanted this king's life many times, no matter who he is, this king will find him out."
In the woods on the outskirts, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the man with the mask and black cloak stood there like a ghost.
At this time, a man in a black nightcoat came to report.
"Master, the matter has been done."
The masked man snorted coldly and said, "Every time I ask you to do something, I mess it up, and if you don't do it well this time, it's useless to ask you," After saying that, he knocked the man in the night suit to the ground with a palm.
The man in the night suit struggled to get up, covered his chest and said, "Master, this time the subordinates will definitely get things done, and they will not let you down again." ”
The spies followed Lian Xingen to an abandoned house in the suburbs, which looked dilapidated on the surface, and did not know what the situation was inside, and the spies did not get too close to avoid being discovered, so they had to hide in the woods, because of the deep night, there was no sound in the forest except for the cries of some animals and the sound of the wind.
After a while, the two men walked out of the door of the abandoned house with a box and carried it to Lianxing'en's carriage.
Here, Qin Feng found someone to pretend to be a businessman to buy the agate coral in Lianxingen's hand, and paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.
Lian Xingen also secretly rejoiced, this time he was so lucky to sell this box of agate coral so quickly.
Qin Feng ordered someone to carry the box to the mansion.
Mo Chenyu opened the box and saw that it was agate coral, yes, but it was only some inferior goods, it was okay to deceive those who didn't know the goods, and those who knew the goods were afraid that they would be given away for nothing, and they would take up space.
Mo Chenyu had a straight face, his eyes were deep, and he said coldly, "Lift the box and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
When he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, before waiting for the housekeeper of the Lotus Mansion to report, Mo Chenyu led someone to carry the box directly to the hall of the Lotus Mansion.
At this time, Lian Xingen came in a hurry, and came up to ask for peace, "I don't know what happened to the prince in such a hurry to find the old minister?" He looked at Mo Chenyu's expression and knew that it must be no good.
"Can Prime Minister Lian know this?" Qin Feng opened the box and kicked it in front of Lotus Xing'en.
Seeing the objects in the box, Lian Xingen wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, since Mo Chenyu carried the box directly to his mansion, he must be completely sure that the things were related to him, and it was better to admit it honestly than to deny it.
"This is the item that the old minister just sold in the morning, how can it be in the hands of the prince? Lao Chen usually does a little business to supplement his family. ”
As soon as Lian Xing'en's words came out, I was afraid that even the subordinates would not be able to listen to it.
Mo Chenyu sneered, "The dignified Prime Minister of the Apocalypse Kingdom, do you need to do some small business to supplement your family?" I see that your Prime Minister's Mansion is also about to become rich and rival the country, right? ”
Seeing that Mo Chenyu didn't give him face, Lian Xing'en didn't give him face, and his face became ugly, so he said coldly, "The prince said that he laughed, there is no rule that the court officials are not allowed to do business, and besides, I have always been honest and honest, which is obvious to all in the saints." ”
Lian Xing'en's words are straightforward, and he has always been honest and honest to show others, so everyone really can't see it clearly? "The court officials can do business, but it depends on who they do it with? Prime Minister Lian bought this inferior thing from the Western Regions at a high price, and then sold it to the people of the Apocalypse Kingdom, is it really so honest? ”
As soon as Mo Chenyu's words came out, Lian Xing'en was obviously weak-hearted, and his confidence to speak was insufficient, "Does the prince have evidence for saying this?"
Mo Chenyu flicked his sleeves and glanced sharply at the Lotus Xingen who was standing there, "Today I am looking at the grace of the Lotus family and my mother's concubine, and I came directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, instead of entering the palace to face the saint, the Lotus Prime Minister is good at himself." After speaking, he strode out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with people.
Lian Xingen looked at Mo Chenyu's back as he left and breathed a sigh of relief.
A good Mo Chenyu, I wanted to marry my daughter to him, he could be used by me, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless, it was really a waste of me spending so much thought on him, it seems that Mei'er did not play a demagogic role at all, and now he dares to blatantly come to me Xingshi to ask for guilt, if one day he knows the truth of the merit temple .........
"Continue to stare at Lian Xingen to see what his relationship is with the masked man, and what handle he has in the hands of others." Mo Chenyu sat on the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage window a gap, peeked outside and said.
