Chapter 187: Tribute Lost
"There's nothing in the Shinofu, Lord Wang." Xiao didn't have the arrogance before, but became very flustered, Mo Jingli expected it well, the lotus pond may be just a sign, not just a real lotus pond.
After a while, a guard came to report that he had found a lotus pond on a well. "Let's go, Shino-sama, let's go have a look." Mo Jingli said this on purpose, he just wanted to see what Xiao's expression was.
"Let's go down and have a look." Mo Jingli ordered, so Dong Qing jumped down directly. "Returning to the prince, it's just a dead well." Dong Qing, who was at the bottom of the well, said. "You come up first!" Mo Jingli ordered, and then Dong Qing flew up one by one.
"Send someone down to dig, even if it's three feet into the ground, I'll see where they can go." Mo Jingli was even more sure that the thing was at the bottom of the well, but it was covered up.
In less than half an hour, a voice was heard below. "It's all down there." After hearing this, Xiao collapsed directly on the ground, and after a while, he saw a lot of large boxes.
When the box was transported, Mo Jingli even saw the seal on the box, and Mo Jingli was completely stunned after opening the box.
"Lady Shino, you don't have anything to say right now?" Xiao was already dead when he saw those official silvers, so he didn't speak.
"Someone, take them in." Mo Jingli directly ordered someone to take Xiao into custody, not that he didn't have a chance to explain, but he was seized with stolen goods, and Xiao no longer had the ability to refute.
As for a large amount of official silver, Mo Jingli directly seized it, and Xiao was still useful to him, so he was not in a hurry to execute him, but took him into custody first.
On that side, Mo Yufei also got the news. Mo Jing's movement this time is so big, Mo Yufei will know even if he has no informant, not to mention the network he has carefully built up over the years.
"Too much deception!" Mo Yufei was furious when he learned the news, and he also dropped a lot of things casually. Mo Jingli did break his arm this time.
The household department is in charge of the money, but now he has directly investigated Qi, and he has also involved Xiao, which makes Mo Yufei not angry.
"Lord Wang, should we do it?" The dark guard asked cautiously, for fear of accidentally offending his master again. So he is also very cautious when he speaks.
"Of course you have to do it, you go and prepare, you must rob the official on the way, and you can't leave any evidence for him." Mo Yufei almost roared out.
"Wait." Mo Yufei seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and then called the secret guard back. If he really let this act recklessly, then he must be the one who suffers.
Mo Yufei thought about it, then whispered a few words in the dark guard's ear, and then waved them down to act.
But Mo Jingli also expected that Mo Yufei would not give up, so he had already sent someone to keep an eye on it, and once Mo Yufei made any moves, he immediately sounded the signal flare.
Mo Jingli saw that the signal flare went off, and he knew that Mo Yu had to act. So he immediately instructed Dong Qing to make all preparations, especially the official bank and Xiao.
Dong Qing has been by Mo Jingli's side since he was a child, so he naturally knows what his master means. "Don't worry, the prince." Dong Qing saluted, and then left with a few people pressing Xiao.
"I don't know how Mo Yufei will fight back." Mo Jingli muttered, although he knew that according to Mo Yufei's temperament, he would definitely have revenge, but he couldn't figure out what he would do.
Mo Jingli returned to the mansion, and the housekeeper in the mansion hurried to say: "The prince is not good, the prince is not good!" ”
"What is the matter so panicked, and what kind of system is it?"
After taking a deep breath, the butler said slowly: "Lord Wang, the tribute to Tubo has been lost!" ”
"What, you say it again!" The butler said it again in a snort.
Mo Jingli heard the butler repeat it again, and almost didn't fall. At the critical moment, the housekeeper supported Mo Jingli.
"How could it be lost?"
"Listen to the people who pressed the tribute, yes, yes......" Mo Jingli said anxiously: "What is it, can you stop spitting?" Hurry up! The butler took a deep breath and said, "Someone has robbed you!" ”
Mo Jingli frowned: "Looting tribute is not a trivial matter, and the power of the main messenger behind the scenes must not be underestimated." Maybe it's Mo Yufei, if this king loses the tribute, there is only one way to die! ”
Mo Jingli looked ahead and ordered the butler: "Quickly send someone to find the whereabouts of that batch of tribute!" This king wants to go to Tibet in person! ”
After Mo Jingli finished speaking, he went to the house to clean up and salute. Tian Yao heard that someone came to report that Mo Jingli had returned home, so Tian Yao cleaned up and dressed up and went over to find Mo Jingli. As soon as I arrived at Mo Jingli's door, I saw that the next person would clean up Mo Jingli's things.
Tian Yao asked Mo Jingli and said, "What's wrong?" Going far away? Mo Jingli glanced at Tian Yao and nodded.
Tian Yao came to Mo Jingli with her skirt and said, "Is something wrong?" Why are you frowning? After speaking, he smoothed Mo Jingli's frowning brow with his hand. Mo Jing put his hand on Tian Yao's shoulder and said, "The tribute is lost!" These simple words frightened Tian Yao.
Tian Yao sorted out his mood and said, "Did something happen?" How can a good tribute be lost? ”
Mo Jingli replied truthfully: "I heard the news that I was robbed!" ”
Tian Yao covered her mouth and said, "Ah! Who is so bold that he does not know that it is the sin of killing the head? Mo Jingli did not answer Tian Yao.
Tian Yao took Mo Jingli's hand and said, "Then what are you going to do here?" ”
"I'm going to Tubo and ask for an alliance with the king of Tubo."
As soon as Tian Yao heard that Mo Jing was leaving to go to Tubo, "Can I also go with me?" ”
"Good, you are obediently waiting for me to come back in the mansion!"
Tian Yao didn't leave Mo Jing, pouted and said, "Hmph, I don't, I'm going to go with you!" Don't let me let it! ”
Mo Jingli looked at Tian Yao's situation, and Mo Jingli said, "Tian Yao, do you know how dangerous this matter is? Isn't it good to be in the house? ”
"I just want to be with you, no matter what!" Mo Jingli thought about it for a while and agreed! Tian Yao went back to pack up her salute.
In Mo Yufei's house, the housekeeper in the house saluted Mo Yufei and said, "Master, someone asks to see you!" ”
Mo Yufei frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The butler shook his head: "No! He just said to ask to see the master! Do you want to ......?"
Mo Yufei thought for a while and said, "Let him in!" ”
Mo Yufei met the person, talked about the conversation, and got the Dark Guard Token. The person who asked to see him asked Mo Yufei to help take care of the family in the two mansions, and Mo Yufei thought about it and agreed.
Tian Yao and Mo Jing, who had packed up, left the two of them and went on the road. The two of them were running in a hurry, but Mo Jingli was afraid that Tian Yao's body would not be able to bear it, so he slowed down his walking speed appropriately.
"Mo Jingli, in fact, you don't have to do this, I'm in good health!" Mo Jingli gave Tian Yao a roll of his eyes. Tian Yao didn't bother with Mo Jingli.
Tian Yao raised his head and asked, "Mo Jingli, do we want to take a look at the goods first?" ”
Mo Jingli smiled and said, "Of course, it's not stupid, you still need to say it!" ”
Tian Yao pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph! Mo Jingli looked at Tian Yao, who was fried and hairy, and felt very funny. The depressed mood just now was instantly swept away.
When the two of them arrived at the place where the goods were lost, they found that the goods were really lost, and there was nothing left. Mo Jingli suddenly frowned, Tian Yao comforted Mo Jingli and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be angry!" There's no way to get angry! ”
Mo Jingli said to Tian Yao in a calm voice, "Do you know? Losing the tribute is a capital offense. Either way, whoever it is, it's a capital offense! ”
Hearing Mo Jingli say this, he was shocked, and then a little panicked. Tian Yao said anxiously: "What should I do then?" If you lose this goods, unless you find it, you will have to die! What should I do? ”
"I've sent someone to investigate, and I'm sure I'll find it. Now the most important thing is to go to Tubo to find the king of Tubo, admit the mistake, and see if there is any way to make up for it! Mo Jingli hurriedly reassured.
Tian Yao nodded stupidly, and the two got on the horse and left. Since Tian Yao knew the bad news, she was absent-minded all the way, Mo Jingli looked at Tian Yao like this, and felt very bad, but she didn't know how to comfort her. Mo Jingli could only slow down his trip.
The two of them walked and stopped. "Mo Jingli, what if I can't find the goods? I don't want you to die! After speaking, he looked like he was going to cry, which frightened Mo Jingli.
Mo Jingli hurriedly comforted and said, "It's okay! You have to believe that you will be able to find the goods, if you really can't find it, let's find another way! ”
Tian Yao looked at Mo Jingli and asked, "Is it really possible?" Mo Jing left you, who is so bold and dares to steal tribute? Mo Jingli shook his head, Mo Jingli didn't want to tell Tian Yao, he didn't want Tian Yao to get involved in this matter, this matter was big or small, he was afraid that Tian Yao would be hurt.
Tian Yao knew that Mo Jingli deliberately slowed down his trip, and urged: "Mo Jingli let's leave quickly, I'm afraid it's too late, the king of Tubo knows that the goods are lost, he will report it to the emperor, isn't this the end?" ”
Mo Jingli smiled bitterly and said, "What are you thinking in your little head?" I'm sure I blocked the message! ”
Tian Yao looked at Mo Jingli and said, "Yes, you intercepted the news, but I'm afraid that someone will make a small move behind your back!" ”
"He's definitely not going to spread the news if he steals the goods, doesn't that give me a clue?" Tian Yao tilted her head and thought about it, this is also the truth!
Tian Yao didn't speak again, and the two of them walked forward silently. No one has the heart to pay attention to the scenery along the way. The two of them hoped in their hearts that the king of Tibet would agree to their request for peace, so that the incident of the loss of goods could be offset. Only in this way can the two countries be at peace and protect the common people of the two countries. In this way, they will not be recognized as sinners.
Mo Jingli did not dare to relax the people sent to find the goods, and kept looking for them day and night. I am afraid that because of this incident, my master's hard work for many years will be ruined. Everybody is constantly inquiring and searching. There is not the slightest thought of giving up.
