Chapter 309: The Return (Ending)
What Mu Da said after the finale first-
Didn't anyone think yesterday that I was going to update today with more than 10,000 words instead of just 3,000 words (grimaces)?
By the time I finished writing this chapter, it was already four o'clock in the morning, I turned off the computer, closed my tired and somewhat burning eyes, and then stood up and looked out the window, only to find that the sky was already slightly white. At that moment, I suddenly felt a little emotional, what dreams are you all dreaming about when I was typing?
Now I ask you to spread -
Because of the publication of this book, the editor of the publishing house asked me to put the ending on after the book came out, but I still put the ending up as normal update, so the following tens of thousands of words are only placed in the physical book.
There will be follow-up stories of Xiao Xie, Little Holy Beast and others, as well as the story of Little Holy Beast meeting Xiao Mo Li at the beginning of that year.
The physical book will carefully revise the text from beginning to end, and many omissions and unsatisfactory places in the serialization process will be deleted or supplemented, but the plot will not be cut.
Thank you for not giving up, after the entity comes out, I hope that capable students can support you! After the book is released, I will make an announcement here, I hope you can support it. Chapter 309 Returns (10,000-word ending chapter)
In the next two days, Mo Li paid more attention to the ship, inexplicably, she always felt that something would happen, but the road was calm, and the sky did not even blow a dark cloud. But as the ship got closer and closer to Yushan, the feeling of anxiety in her heart became heavier and heavier, so that afternoon, she found a little steward named Liu Zhen in the silk shop.
Liu Zhen was her own cronies who were cultivated from low level when she first entered the silk industry. This young man was originally just an errand runner in the silk industry, because his mouth was not sharp enough, he had a scar on his forehead, and he was so poor that he jingled, so even if he worked as an errand in the silk industry for six or seven years, he was only a small handyman. However, Mo Li took a fancy to him from the beginning that he had a good water personality and knew the dialects of many places in the south, and later learned that he had been mixed in the army with his scout father since he was a child, and he had learned some unpopular skills. Therefore, although he has been a small miscellaneous person all these years, he knows all the relationships in the silk industry, so not long after Mo Li entered the silk industry, he mentioned Liu Zhen to his side as his left and right hand.
"I'm going to Yushan Banknote Customs soon, I need you to do me a favor."
"Mo Dongjia, please command."
Mo Li looked out for a while, and then whispered a few words. Things were a little strange, but Liu Zhen didn't ask much, and it wasn't until he fully understood what Mo Li meant that he nodded seriously, and then withdrew.
When the river was full of broken gold, the boat finally docked at the Yushan Pass, and Mo Li wanted to go down for a walk as before. But as soon as he came out, he was told that except for those who went down to pay the ship tax and stamped it, the rest of the people were not allowed to get off the boat. Mo Liyuan was not sure if his itinerary could meet Ah Sheng, but now when he heard that the person at the banknote gate was so tough that there was no reason for him, his heart suddenly jumped violently, and then he hurriedly looked at the golden mountain not far ahead.
Yushan is not high, only sixty zhang Xu, named mountain, but in fact it is just a big mound, because the heroic spirit of the founding emperor of the Jokhang has slept here, so the descendants take the mountain as the name. Even though the imperial mausoleum was not built here, the descendants of the founding emperor built an altar on this mountain, and there will be a fixed sacrifice ceremony here every year. It's just that when something outside the law appears, all the officials are a little confused, for example, right now, the emperor's old man is not waiting for the palace, but he actually ran here as soon as he got up, and he didn't allow the people in this place to stir up the people, let alone notify the parents and officials in this place.
Even the officials at the Yushan Pass, only the above ones knew about this in their hearts, but at this time, their soldiers were only about 30 shabby.
Mo Li stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, staring at the front for a while, and then observed the surroundings of this banknote pass, and found that this place was obviously not as lively as the previous banknote gate, there were only a few ships scattered, and there were few people on the shore, so she was even more sure that Ah Sheng and they had arrived here.
He should be in front at this time, less than five miles away from her, Mo Li's hands on the railing tightened for a long time before he sighed softly, and then turned his head, at this time Liu Zhen had already disembarked with Shi Dashan and the others. Then she glanced to the other side of the pass, and saw that the boat that had come with her had also docked on the shore, and soon, several people had come down from the boat.
Shi Dashan stayed here for one night, in addition to stamping the seal, he also had to go to the county to settle last year's account, counting the time, he estimated that he would have to come back tomorrow morning. Therefore, after he finished the seal matter, he came back and gave an explanation, and asked Mo Li and Mo Gu to work hard all night, and then left.
"I'll arrange for someone to keep vigil, you go and rest." After dinner, Mo Gu thanked Mo Li.
Mo Li shook his head: "I'll watch it tonight, the fifth uncle is old, and he hasn't vomited a lot in the past two days, plus the boat has been walking on the river, it is estimated that he has not had a good rest these days, just take advantage of tonight's serious rest for the night, if there is anything at night, I will call you, and I have red beans with me." ”
Mo Gu really felt that he hadn't had a good night's sleep these days, seeing that Mo Li had said so, and the vigil was actually just arranging for the crew to take turns watching, but the person in charge didn't have to do it himself at all times. Therefore, he did not refuse, and went back to his room after saying a few words.
As night fell, the shore was lit up, but I don't know if it was as usual or if tonight was more special. On the sparsely populated shore, the spark looked a little too thin. After Mo Li watched silently for a while, she raised her eyes to look ahead, and saw that on the other side of Yushan, at this time, there was also firelight that penetrated the dark night and shone vaguely into her eyes.
And the ship that was docked with them seemed to be planning to stop here for the night.
It's just that when the bow and stern of the ship are lit up, there is no movement there, only a few thin lights in the cabin, letting people know that there is a master on board.
"Girl, why don't you sleep for a while, I'll call you up when Liu Zhen comes back." It's almost time, the cold on the river is heavy, Mo Li has entered the cabin, but she hasn't slept, Hongdou is worried that she won't be able to stand the sleepiness for a while, so she persuaded her.
However, as soon as he was speaking, he heard three soft knocks and knocks outside the door, and Mo Li immediately glanced at the red bean, and after the door opened, it was really Liu Zhen who came back.
There was no wind tonight, and the river was much calmer than usual, except for a few soldiers standing vigil at the gate of the banknote on the shore, and everywhere as far as the eye could see was empty. Several merchant ships leaning against the shore were also silent as if they were asleep, except for the wind lamps hanging from the bow of the ships swaying gently.
The candle on the table exploded, and after Mo Li heard the news that Liu Zhen inquired about coming back, he was stunned for a while, and then spoke: "Are you sure they are really from the Yue Clan?" Is it a soldier, not a businessman? ”
Liu Zhen nodded: "Dongjia, I grew up in the military camp on the border of Nanfang since I was a child, and I am very familiar with some of the habits and accents of the Yue Clan, and I am not unfamiliar with trained soldiers. I've been dealing with that kind of person since I was a child, and I won't admit mistakes, and those businessmen are definitely pretending. ”
Mo Li felt that his brain was a little chaotic for a while, and what was circling in his heart, but he couldn't figure out the soldiers, merchants, Yue's country, the war, and Yushan for a while····· She looked at the dancing candle flame, and after a long time, her face suddenly changed, and her eyes showed a look of horror, and she finally remembered what Han Sidao had said to her back then.
It was this place, it was at this time that the assassins of the Yue Clan Kingdom infiltrated the Jokhang and stained Yu Mountain with blood, and then a huge storm was rolled up in the court, implicating countless people, and they were imprisoned and exiled and beheaded····· The change of power above will also affect the trading below. It's just that the matter about Yu Shan seemed to have been deliberately suppressed at that time, and not many people knew about it, even Han Sidao just inadvertently mentioned a few words to her, and never said it again.
No wonder when she heard about the names of Yue Clan and Yu Shan before, she felt so uneasy in her heart.
But this thing ····· What should I do about this?!
Mo Li shook his palm, but found that he had already appeared in the palm of his hand at some point, and Ah Sheng was on that mountain, if this matter was true, then he must be more than lucky, even if he could escape, what if he was punished······ The Son of Heaven is angry, who knows how many innocent people will be implicated!
Seeing that Mo Li's face was getting worse and worse, Hongdou asked worriedly, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”
Mo Li raised her face stiffly, but she was still speechless for a while, and her confusion and panic made her hesitate. It wasn't until she suddenly remembered the two dreams she had before that he was pierced by a sharp arrow in the chest, and remembered the blood gushing from his body, and after suffocating his breath, she finally paid attention.
After a moment of whispering, Liu Zhen immediately showed a look of disbelief on his face, and the red beans on the side also felt that his legs were weak, and he almost didn't sit down.
"I don't know if they made a move, I'll hold this side first, and you can help me deliver the news." When Mo Li said this, he looked at him and said, "It's only a few miles away, after you get there, no matter what, you have to find Ah Sheng and tell him about this side and my words!" ”
Liu Zhen's face was solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and turned around, but when he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said, "Dongjia, the fifteenth master may not recognize me yet." Mo Li promoted him to his side, and it was only a matter of half a year, not to mention that Ah Sheng didn't recognize him, even he didn't recognize Ah Sheng. What's more, it's not easy to sneak into that place right now, and if someone finds out, he needs to have a credential.
Mo Li was stunned, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and untied the wolf tooth that had been hanging around his neck. He took it in his hand and glanced at it, then gritted his teeth, and handed it to Liu Zhendao: "After you see him, give this to him." ”
Mo Gu had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a sudden shock, but before he could figure out what was going on, another impact hit that was bigger than just now, and if he hadn't grabbed the table next to him in time, he was afraid that he would have rolled straight off the bed.
What's wrong? He didn't even bother to put on the coat next to him, so he hurriedly got off the ground and ran out.
As soon as he opened the door, he found that many people were like him, coming out of the room with puzzled faces, and just when they were all dazed, I don't know who was suddenly shouting one after another.
"It's at the stern."
"The ship next to it hit our ship!"
"Hurry up, everyone, let's go over, it's time to fight, our owner is leading someone to reason with them, the big guys hurry up, those guys hit our boat, and they have to beat people!"
This time, no matter how confused he was, he understood what was going on, and after being stunned for a moment, he rushed to the stern of the boat with his arms in tow.
Before Mogu could reach the stern of the boat, he saw that the lights were bright, and there were countless noisy shouts and angry noises, and the smell of gunpowder was full.
At the stern of the boat, all the wind lamps were lit, and at the same time, almost half of the dozen or so guys who were arranged by the Mo family to board the boat were rushing to the other party's boat with anger. The other half of the people each held a blazing torch in their hands, and shouted angrily in loud voices, one sentence after another.
But the other side obviously did not have such a battle, only five or six of them stood on the deck, while stopping others, they opened their mouths to accuse Mo Li's mad dog of biting people, they were the ones who were hit. It's just that the voice of only five or six people on the other side is too weak compared to the big voices of these ten or twenty men, and there are still people on Mo Li's side who are continuing to reinforce at the moment.
Mo Gu stood and listened for a while before he remembered to find Mo Li, but as soon as he was about to pass, the two officials on the shore had already yawned, walked over with an impatient face, and yelled at this: "What is the noise!" ”
Mo Li immediately glanced to the side, and then someone ran over and complained loudly, and pulled the official to see where the stern of their ship had been damaged. Just when Mo Li was about to follow, Mo Gu finally found her side: "What's the matter?" How could it be bumped? In the middle of the night, how could the ship crash when it was parked so well? ”
"Fifth uncle, you can count it." Mo Li looked at Mo Gu, and then pointed to the place at the stern where there was obviously a crack and said, "Look, this is what they hit!" Our boat was parked well, but they suddenly collided, I just came to take a look, and my heart panicked! ”
Mo Gu looked at the crack, his head suddenly became bigger, now Shi Dashan is not on the ship, and when he left, he specially entrusted them to help take care of it, and now this incident suddenly happened, in case it affects the future business, it will be bad. So he didn't need Mo Li to say more, and he didn't bother to ask more, so he hurried to the officer. This happened at the money gate, and it is necessary to ask the government to administer justice, otherwise it will be difficult for the matter to be properly resolved if both sides have damage and disputes cannot be resolved.
After a while, the officials in the banknote customs were alarmed, and there were more and more people around, and the crowd on Mo Li's side became more and more excited, and those who didn't know thought they had been wronged.
"My lord, our ship is parked so well, and there is a whole boatload of food in it, and they don't know what they want to do in the middle of the night, and they actually crash our ship like this!"
"Nonsense, my lord, they are the ones who spray people with blood!"
"What kind of bloody spewing people is such a big hole in our ship, don't you see it, when everyone is blind!"
"Our ship is different and damaged!"
"Who made you stay awake in the middle of the night and crashed into us!"
"You hit us!"
"It's you!"
"You guys!"
"You guys!"
"Enough to say one by one, what the hell is going on?"
"They hit our boat!"
"They hit our boat!"
The official was angry, and he shouted again, and then asked the people on Mo Li's side to speak first. Mo Gu was about to step forward, but Mo Li suddenly grabbed him, and at the same time gave one of the guys who was the most eloquent on weekdays. In the middle of the night, the official wanted to be more entangled with this matter, and after quietly accepting the red envelope on the side, he didn't care about the identity of the person who came out to speak, so he opened his mouth.
The guy really lived up to Mo Li's expectations, and after adding fuel and vinegar to it, the other party suddenly couldn't hold it back, and didn't wait for the guy to finish speaking, so he started a new round of quarrels.
And Mo Gu slowly calmed down at this time, although the two sides were arguing fiercely, but after his observation, he found that the current situation seemed to be his own side messing around. And he also noticed several key points that the other party said, such as where the ship docked at the beginning, such as where the anchor was originally nailed. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still arguing at this time, he quietly walked away and secretly observed, and then pulled Mo Li aside with a cold face and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" The two stewards left behind by Shi Dashan also realized that something was wrong. ”
Although the two ships were very close at the time, if you look closely, you can still see some eyebrows.
Mo Li understood this reason, and she estimated that after a while, the other party should not be entangled in this matter anymore, if they did have bad intentions. Therefore, the entanglement of the time, for them who have no purpose, is not only a waste of time, but the most important point is to attract the special attention of the officials.
"I made people hit me." Now that Mo Gudu found out, Mo Li no longer hid it, and now she has to pull the fifth uncle to help her finish this play, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the official errand and Shi Dashan for a while.
"What!?" Mogu was shocked, "You-"
"The holy driver is in front, Yu Shan, the merchant on that ship is pretending to be a soldier of the Yue Clan, and I have asked someone to bring the news over."
Mo Guben's words of scolding choked in his throat all of a sudden, and he looked at Mo Li in a daze for a long time, as if he didn't know her. Although he had known since his trip to the grassland, his cousin and niece, sometimes made some frightening decisions suddenly, but he could never have imagined that she would be so bold.
"How do you know that?"
"The itinerary of the holy drive was told by Lord Xie, and I just asked Liu Zhen to find out over there."
"But what do you mean by letting people crash ships right now?"
"Fifth Uncle still doesn't understand, the people of the Yue Clan are likely to plan to assassinate, and I can only drag them down in this way."
"You're crazy, you can meddle in this!"
"I'm not crazy, Ah Sheng is over there now, I can't ignore it."
"Ah Sheng?" Mo Gu was stunned, "In case it's all your guesses, you're really ······ How can this be such a mess! ”
"If I guessed wrong, I will pay for all the damage to this ship, and I will personally apologize on Shi Dashan's side." When Mo Li said this, he looked at the quarrel, and continued, "But if I guessed correctly, if they do have bad intentions, then they will definitely agree to the compensation we ask for in this accident, and they will not bargain." ”
"You ·····"
Before Mo Gu really digested this matter, there was a tendency for the quarrel to stop, as Mo Li said, the other party thought he was unlucky, and directly promised to compensate for the silver, and there was really no bargaining, and he was generous as if the God of Wealth had descended to earth. Mo Gu was shocked when he heard this, and Mo Li's heart suddenly cooled, it was true!
In this case, are these people not having time to act, or have they already done something? Why is it that from just now, there are only six people on their ship, could it be that the others have already sneaked into Yushan? It's just that Yu Shan can't hear any movement from there, or is it because it's too far away, so even if there is any movement, she can't hear it here?
Since both parties have promised to compensate, this fight will naturally not be able to continue, but Mo Li can't end this matter so easily. After hinting to Mo Gu for a few words, he found the two stewards beside Shi Dashan and began to estimate how much loss there was on his side, and at the same time proposed that people also go to the other party's boat to have a look. The reason is that since both sides have shaken hands and made peace, it is appropriate to care for each other, but this reason was categorically rejected by the people of the Yue Clan.
Mo Li immediately glanced at Mo Guna, and a chill slowly grew in Mo Gu's heart, if this was true, it would be a big event! looked at Mo Li again, but saw that the girl had already begun to estimate the losses with Shi Dashan's stewards with a casual face. And just after he hurriedly said that his task was to ensure that the official messenger was left here, and to arrange for the men on the ship to check near the ship, and to monitor the other party by checking whether there was any damage to the hull of the ship that he had not noticed.
The people of the Yue Clan Kingdom thought that after their side admitted that they had suffered a loss and made concessions, this nest of things would soon be settled, but they didn't think that things were not only not as they thought, but also intensified.
There were more than a dozen flickering torches, more than a dozen wind lanterns, and there were forty or fifty people on the shore of the boat, all of them staring at them with wide eyes, what is going on, the sky is about to dawn!
Time passed little by little, and although Mo Li's face was still nothing, his heart was so nervous that his hands began to tremble. Since she confirmed her guess, she didn't know what the next situation would be, and she didn't know if she could really do it, let alone whether Liu Zhen had seen Ah Sheng, and what the situation was like over there in Yushan... She just hoped that the sky would brighten sooner.
An hour later, even though Mo Gu tried his best to keep it, the official still went back for the most part, but in the end he left four officials for them to watch. And the guys on Mo Li's side stood for more than an hour in the cold night, and their upper and lower eyelids began to fight, in fact, they didn't know what was going on tonight, but because the owner promised a good reward, so they all played very hard just now.
Shengsheng waited for an hour, and when the people of the Yue Clan Kingdom saw that Mo Li had not given a specific number for a long time, they were so angry that they smoked, and finally left a sentence to talk about tomorrow, and then went back to their own boats. After all, there were people from the government to testify just now, and the person in charge of the other party also came out and pressed his fingerprint, so Mo Li had no reason to prevent people from sleeping at night.
The matter seemed to have been properly resolved, so at dawn, except for the people on Mo Li's side, the people from Shi Dashan basically went back to make up for sleep.
Mogu walked up to her: "There is nothing out of the ordinary. ”
Mo Li didn't speak, just looked at the river with a solemn expression, the sky before the early morning was the darkest time.
The river in the distance seemed to be splashed with ink, and after adjusting to the firelight on the side of the ship, it was pitch black when I looked at it again. The wind blew her face cold, and even her eyes felt cold, so she closed her eyes and tried to calm her restless heart. After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and continued to look at the river in the distance.
Mo Gu still wanted to ask her what happened just now, but at this moment, Mo Li suddenly held the railing with both hands, and leaned forward slightly: "Fifth Uncle, look, is there something moving over there?" ”
"What?"
"It looks like a small boat!" Mo Li muttered, and then was shocked, "Oh no, could it be someone who sneaked down on their ship!" ”
"I can't see anything."
"You've leaned over here to see!"
"Where?"
"Let's see if it's it, it must be, who will be boating on the river at this time, this has to be known to the officials!"
"Wait a minute······" Mogu was about to hold her, but he didn't want to be right here, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
In the silence and darkness of the early morning, the sound of horses' hooves is prominently heard, which only makes people feel as if the sound is stepping on their hearts, and people are nervous for no reason.
The two of them glanced at each other, then turned and ran to the other side of the shore, looking in the direction from which the sound came, and both of them saw a scene of great shock. No wonder the sound of horses' hooves was so frightening, and it was a team of men and horses rushing over, all wearing armor, even the night could not hide the thick murderous aura!
The officials of the banknote customs were completely alarmed, and they even crawled out, and after seeing the battle, they were all stunned. And the few people who knew the inside story turned pale and immediately knelt down.
The people who had just fallen asleep before were woken up again, and when they came out angrily and were about to scold, they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they were silenced at once.
No one was allowed to move around, no one was allowed to look around, no one was allowed to speak, and everyone was driven back to their respective cabins to stay in place, and they were not allowed to come out without being ordered. Girl, why didn't you look at your uncle just now? After returning to the room in the cabin, Hongdou spoke cautiously, "I didn't look at Liu Zhen, did he see his uncle, did those people outside come here because they heard the news sent by the girl?" ”
Mo Li shook her head, she didn't know, how could she know about this kind of thing.
The officers and soldiers came over, indicating that what she guessed was indeed correct, and she was slightly relieved. But she didn't see Ah Sheng, she began to worry again, could it be that something happened to him? But as soon as such a thought came to her mind, she immediately stopped such thoughts.
As everyone waited in the cabin, the sound of swords clashing and horses' hooves began to be heard outside. But that sound didn't last long, and it stopped before dawn, and after a while, when it was almost dawn, they were still not told to go out. None of the people in the boat knew what was going on outside, they didn't hear the sound of permission, and no one dared to go out to see it, even the people who stayed in the boat, and the communication between them was as low as possible.
The people were panicked, and the quiet and oppressive atmosphere made people extremely panicked.
Is Ah Sheng really okay?
Mo Li became more and more uneasy, according to his temperament, if he knew that she was here, he would definitely come over, could it be that he was stumped by something?
It wasn't until the sun rose that a servant in the banknote carefully boarded the ship where Mo Li was, and after a few inquiries, he found her room, and then politely invited her out.
All the apprehension and panic and the uneasiness of more than five months dissipated when she saw the figure riding towards her under the morning sun. He was still so enthusiastic and direct, and after turning over and dismounting, without waiting for her to come ashore, he took the lead on the deck, and with a stretch of his hand, he took her into his arms.
The familiar breath, the familiar embrace, just a few months, for her, it was like a world away!
There were no pursuers, no sharp arrows, no prison, and he really returned to her unharmed!
After a long time, Mo Li raised his face in his arms, and then found that one of his arms was stained with a large area of blood, and the wound could still be faintly seen, she was shocked: "You are injured!" ”
Ah Sheng couldn't take time to look at her injury, her eyes stayed on her face, and she smiled indifferently: "A little injury." ”
Every time he doesn't see her for a long time, he has a wound on his body, but he still smiles so brightly and fearlessly at her every time.
It was as if the sun of early October looked as dazzling as it did in midsummer, and his vision was a little blurred, and his hand trembled slightly on his arm, but his low and mellow laughter and coaxing could be heard in his ears.
After a while, the two were arranged to rest in the wing room in the backyard of the Yamen of the bank, and at the same time asked Lang Zhong to come over and bandage Ah Sheng's arm injury. Mo Li was helping on the side, and after Na Langzhong went out with the medicine box, he asked carefully: "Over there, is it already fine?" Liu Zhen found you last night? ”
"It's okay, it's up to him to find it, otherwise I wouldn't know there was another ship." After Ah Sheng took off his shirt, he sat down on a chair, and at the same time pulled her to his side, hugged her waist and said, "I just know that you are also scaring me." ”
Mo Li's fingers brushed lightly on his thick black sword eyebrows, then put his hand on his face, looked down at him and choked up: "I was very sad during my time in prison, I lost a lot of weight." ”
"It's not sad, I just want you to think hard." He turned his face sideways and kissed her hand, then tightened his arm, pressed his face to her chest and sighed, "I finally didn't break my promise to you." ”
Mo Li hugged his bare and tight shoulders, and when a smile appeared on his face, the tears in his eyes also fell.
A month later, the boat that Mo Li and Ah Sheng were riding finally docked in Yongzhou, and the Zhu family, who had recovered from his leg injury, led Mo Xue and stood at the port of Yongzhou with the elders of the clan to meet them.
Mo Changqing had heard that this trip with Mo Li and Ah Sheng, as well as the Imperial History of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, seemed to have come to thoroughly investigate the Ji family's trading company. The news of the assassination in Yushan a month ago did not spread, and there were few people who knew the truth, but Mo Changqing still heard about it a little, so now that he heard that Zuodu Yushi had come, he couldn't help but feel very worried.
The trading company was sealed the day after Mo Li returned to Yongzhou, and less than ten days later, the head of the trading company and the stewards below were all sent to prison for interrogation and thorough investigation. Ji Yufeng was directly detained in Beijing, and on that day, Mo Li happened to be called by Zuodu Yushi to ask about the trading company's past transactions. After confessing everything he knew, when Mo Li came out of the yafu, he happened to run into a dark prisoner cart carrying Ji Yufeng slowly coming from inside.
She stopped, and when the prisoner car passed by her, Ji Yufeng also saw her.
At the beginning, the noble son who stood on the clouds, with a squint in his eyes and an arrogant face, became a prisoner in the blink of an eye. Such a huge contrast between the glamorous day and the unkempt present really makes people sigh at the unpredictability of fate and the unpredictability of life.
"Hehehe······" Ji Yufeng in the prisoner car suddenly laughed and turned his head to look at her, "I still underestimated you." ”
She calculated him twice, but he was actually just annoyed and angry, after all, he didn't really pay attention to her because of this, no matter how much she tossed, it was also different from him. How can such a woman be qualified to compete with him on the same footing, and his ambition has never been in those copper-smelling things, how can his ambition be treated as the same as such a small merchant girl.
Maybe the reason that caused him to fail and caused his Ji family to fall into the current situation was not Mo Li, and Mo Li could not have such great ability. But she finally played a role in speeding up such a result, just like what Master Yichen said to Xie Gexian about spilling tea in Foguang Temple. A seemingly trivial matter, but it may cause unimaginable consequences, and the unpredictability of fate is not this.
The assassination of the Yue Clan was actually carried out with the secret support of the three princes. And if it weren't for the fact that the prince used horse material to suppress the third prince before, making him completely lose his sacred heart, and let him know that for so many years, he was actually just a whetstone prepared by the emperor for the East Palace, and he probably wouldn't have done such a crazy act.
On the night of the Yushan banknote, as early as nightfall, the assassination on the side of Yushan had already begun. Yu Nei, fortunately, Ah Sheng was by the emperor's side at the time, because the assassins were not only from outside the Yue family, but also from the emperor's side. Fortunately, Mo Li's decision at that time made the Yue clan lose the best opportunity to respond, so the assassination ended in failure before it could stir up any waves.
At the beginning of the Yushan assassination operation, the capital also experienced a palace seizure change, but it failed due to the failure of the Yushan assassination operation. On the road to imperial power, if the succession fails, there is only one way to die, and after the emperor returns to the palace, the three princes are given death. And the Ji family, who had been standing on the side of the three princes and was found to be involved in this matter, was copied, and more than 30 people were questioned, Ji Yufeng was among them, and the younger one was exiled for thousands of miles. A big family, just like that, under the light stroke of the Zhu pen, disappeared.
These things were all known by Mo Li from Ah Sheng's mouth later, and at this point, the enemies of her Mo family fell, and her father's great revenge was avenged. Ran Pan didn't have much joy for her, but after listening to it, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she sighed for a long time. She didn't know what the outcome of such a struggle would be in the last life, and whether it would be different from the current outcome. It should be different, think about it carefully, in the last life, there was no accident in the Ji family until she died. But it's really impossible to say about this, maybe there was a problem with the Ji family at that time, but the end time has not yet arrived.
The struggle in the court, the tug of war of power, is really terrifying, victory and defeat are not only related to the life and death of individuals, but the survival of the entire family.
In fact, during the time when the Ji family was raided, the Mo family had begun to usher in the most glorious page.
On the twentieth day of the twentieth month, the Mo family received the order of His Royal Highness the Prince in the winter of last year, and for this reason, the Mo family specially chartered the largest restaurant in Yongzhou, and invited the major merchants in Yongzhou to be present, and then in the limelight, the twenty horses of the brilliant splendid world came out.
After a moment of silence, the amazement ensued.
It's just that just when Mo Li was about to send these twenty horses to the palace people sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, the other party smiled humbly: "Wait." ”
Mo Li was stunned, and the old lady Mo on the seat also showed a little puzzlement, and at the same time was faintly worried in his heart, could it be that he felt that these twenty horses could not be seen? It's just that I haven't seen it before, and I'm still satisfied.
When I was a little nervous, I suddenly heard the sound of the holy decree coming from outside, and everyone present was stunned, until the father-in-law wearing palace clothes and holding a whisk in his hand came in from outside, everyone reacted, and quickly got up and knelt down.
The father-in-law's voice was a little sharp, each word was bitten very hard, and the end of each sentence was also very long. Mo Li was really surprised in his heart, so he didn't hear what he said clearly after listening to those few words, but he only knew that this holy decree said that the emperor gave a plaque to the Mo family.
When the word "Qin this" fell, whether it was from the Mo family or not, everyone who was present hurriedly followed a piece of thanks, and such a scene seemed a little chaotic. However, the father-in-law understood the psychology of these people, and the son-in-law of the Mo family was quite blue-eyed by the emperor and His Royal Highness, so he was not surprised at all, and after handing the holy decree in his hand to Mo Changqing, he asked people to give the plaque covered with yellow silk.
Mo Changqing trembled his hands, and after taking the plaque with Mo Li, he looked at the father-in-law again, and then under the nod of the other party's smile, he solemnly uncovered the yellow silk covering the plaque, revealing the four big characters of "The World is Splendid".
The father-in-law smiled and said: "The Mo family is really a great girl, thanks to the Mo family, your Mo family can have such a glorious world, this is the saint's own handwriting, even if the first-class official sees this imperial plaque, he must be respectful." ”
Mo Changqing had tears in his eyes and nodded again and again.
The Mo family, after decades of silence in Yongzhou, finally shined again.
After the year, when the store was about to open, Mo Li suddenly remembered that since he came back, he had not gone to Foguang Temple to say thank you. Although the other party may not care, but she can't be ungrateful because of this, when the Mo family and Ah Sheng were shrouded in the ominous words of Qin Tianjian that day, if it weren't for Master Yichen agreeing to go to Beijing to speak for her, the Queen Mother might not let go of this matter so easily.
It's just that when the carriage passed by Tongxing Street and was about to walk to the Splendid Forest, Mo Li couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out, and really saw that the Splendid Forest, which had a booming business that day, had been closed, and even the plaque had been removed.
After returning to Yongzhou, although she did not specifically inquire about Han Sidao's news, she still knew that on the day the trading company was sealed, Han Sidao and more than a dozen people in the trading company were taken away by the government. However, it seems that it was later found that he was not involved in the assassination, so he was only imprisoned for more than a month, and after the government had defrauded almost all of his family property, he was released on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Some time ago, I heard Jia Hei say that he began to sell his house after he came out, and it seems that he plans to take his mother and brother back to his hometown. Now that he counts the days, he should have left Yongzhou, and in the end, he returned to the original point, and I don't know how he felt in his heart·····
Mo Li sighed softly in her heart, and then lowered the curtain.
After going to Foguang Temple, they asked, Master Cai Yichen was not in the temple, Mo Li and Ah Sheng donated a sum of sesame oil money to the temple, and then asked Xiao Shami to wait for Master Yichen to come back, help convey their gratitude and gratitude, and then leave.
It's just that when the carriage just set off, Mo Li suddenly remembered something and asked the coachman to change direction.
"Where are you going?" Ash pulled back the curtain and looked out, then turned his head and kissed her on the forehead.
"Take you to a place." Mo Li leaned into his arms as she spoke.
The frozen blue lake, the place where she ended her last life and began her life, a place she thought she would never set foot again. But today, for some reason, I suddenly wanted to come here to see, maybe because of the end and beginning of this place, so there is this moment of her life with him.
"The ice hasn't melted yet." After helping Ah Sheng's men get out of the carriage, Mo Li calmed his breath, and then raised his eyes to look ahead.
"It's already starting to melt." Ah Sheng said and put his arm around her shoulder, "But this place is good, find a place to dig a hole in winter, and you can fish on the ice." ”
Mo Li was stunned, and suddenly asked him: "What would you do if I fell into that ice cave?" ”
"Save you." Ah Sheng replied simply.
"What if you weren't there when I fell in, and when you arrived, it was too late?"
Ah Sheng turned his head, lowered his eyes, looked at her for a long time, and then whispered in her ear. Mo Li was stunned, and then smiled lightly, under the lake and snow, the haze in the past disappeared in this smile.
