Chapter Ninety-Three: It's All in the Search
"Come on, come on, dip some dipping sauce, it tastes better!"
Chu Mo hurriedly took out the sesame sauce dipping sauce that had been prepared in advance, and served it with copper pot mutton, it was a perfect match!
"Is it really that good?"
The little dragonfly couldn't bear it anymore, so she picked up a piece of fresh mushroom and put it in the soup.
"Wow, it's so delicious!"
After a while, the little dragonfly scooped up the mushrooms, and the smooth mushrooms were full of delicious chicken soup, which made the little dragonfly full of praise.
"I'll try it too!"
Qin Lang saw that the little dragonfly and the snowfall were so delicious, and he quickly took a chopstick of mutton and put it in the pot, and after a while, he put the meat into his mouth, and his face was full of intoxication.
"Wow!
"This kind of delicacy should be paired with good wine, Brother Mo Chu, I toast you!"
Qin Lang picked up the two wine jars he had brought before, slapped open the sealing mud, poured a glass for Chu Mo first, and then filled it for himself, and toasted to Chu Mo.
"Brother Qin doesn't have to be polite!"
Chu Mo also hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
A few people ate meat and drank wine, so unhappy.
Early the next morning.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to go to the morning court!"
Chu Mo had just finished washing up and was dressed neatly, and Li Jin was waiting at the door.
"Okay Father-in-law Li, got it!"
Chu Mo thought about it, he hadn't been to the morning court for several days, and if he didn't go, it seemed a little too much.
So, he hurried to the main hall.
When he arrived at the gate of the main hall, the officials were almost ready, and he was almost late again.
"Announce the arrival of all the adults!"
Hong Sifeng shouted at the top of his voice.
"Meet my emperor, long live my emperor!"
The ministers rose and fell, scrambling to kneel down a large area, but Chu Mo still bowed.
"Everyone, let's be flat!"
Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu's tone was still majestic.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A group of ministers got up from the ground again.
"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"
Hong Sifeng, who was on the side, shouted again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"
Shen Fanxing, the waiter of the household department, hurriedly stood up with a rolling belt.
"Oh, what's going on with Shen Aiqing?"
Emperor Chu looked at him and asked.
"Your Majesty, it's a shame to say that the minister's house was attacked by bandits last night, and the soldiers of the courtyard were killed and wounded heavily, and the things in the house were seriously damaged, and even the minister was beaten up!"
Shen Fanxing said as he rolled up the sleeves of his official uniform, and there were two bruises, one blue and one purple on his arms.
"Your Majesty, this gang of bandits is very rampant, and the minister begs His Majesty to issue a decree to arrest him!"
Shen Fanxing was indignant, extremely excited, and burst into tears.
"Huh!"
"It's pretty similar!"
Chu Mo was now on the side, sneering in his heart.
What government soldiers suffered heavy casualties, what was beaten, when a few of them went to fight, they didn't even see Shen Fanxing's shadow, how could they beat him!
This Shen Fanxing must have lost a large amount of dirty silver and couldn't report it to the Chu Emperor, but he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so he made up a reason to play the Chu Emperor on the grounds that he had been attacked, so as to track down the murderer.
It's just that this guy did a good job, and he actually gave himself two scars, I have to say, it's really enough.
"Oh, that's it!"
"Lang Lang Qiankun, he dared to openly reveal his own dignified household servant's mansion, it is really bold, come here, order the criminal department, and strictly investigate!"
Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu patted the armrest on the dragon chair heavily and shouted loudly.
"Poof!"
When Chu Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but want to laugh for a while, even if the people in the Criminal Department wanted to break their heads, they couldn't have thought that the silver was stolen by him, the current prince.
"Your Highness, we have caught a big fish this time!"
"Shen Fanxing, this old thing, has embezzled 500,000 taels of silver, and let us serve it to a pot!"
After going down to the court, returning to the Prince's Mansion, Qin Lang said excitedly to Chu Mo.
Last night, several of them counted these silver taels overnight, and now the results are finally out.
"What? so much!"
Chu Mo was also a little surprised, he originally thought that this Shen Fanxing would be able to embezzle three or four hundred thousand taels at most, but he didn't expect that there would be five hundred thousand taels!
It seems that the household department is indeed a very oily and watery fat poor, and in the future, we must think of ways to strictly control and minimize corruption.
Chu Mo thought so in his heart.
"This son, this is the Prince's Mansion, you can't trespass!"
Just as Chu Mo was thinking, suddenly, there was a shout at the door.
"Why can't Ben Gongzi go in!"
"Your prince pretended to be Mo Chu and deceived me before, and today, I will go to him to ask for an explanation!"
Another voice sounded, and when I listened carefully, it turned out to be Zhao Ziyun's.
"This son, please leave immediately, otherwise, we will be welcome!"
The prince guard who was guarding the door was not a soft persimmon, and when he saw that several warnings were fruitless, he immediately picked up his spear.
"Wait!"
"Why is Brother Zhao making noise here!"
As soon as Chu Mo heard the shouting, he hurriedly rushed out to organize, otherwise, with Zhao Ziyun's stubborn character, maybe he could really fight with the prince guard who was guarding the door, and when the time came, it would be troublesome.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pretended to be Mo Chu a few days ago and deceived me and others, why is this!"
Zhao Ziyun roared loudly.
Chu Mo looked at it, this Zhao Ziyun was simply here to ask for trouble, and he was still carrying a spear in his hand, if he didn't come out to stop it, he might not be able to cause anything.
"A few days ago, I was forced to be helpless!"
"If I travel as a prince, then I won't be able to meet the two chivalrous best friends, Brother Zhao and Brother Qin?"
Chu Mo knew that a person like Zhao Ziyun was simply eating soft rather than hard, and he couldn't tell him anything, so he hurriedly curry favor with him and put on his high hat.
"So, that's true!"
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ziyun heard this, he immediately lost a lot of anger, but then, he seemed to think of something again, and his brows furrowed again:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you and I have known each other together, why did Brother Qin seal the official and lead the troops, but I was abandoned like a clog, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that I Zhao Ziyun is useless!"
Zhao Ziyun asked loudly.
"Uh, this ........."
Good guy, this is an imbalance in his heart, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, but, after thinking about it carefully, in fact, what Zhao Ziyun said also made some sense, several people met together, just promoted Qin Lang and put Zhao Ziyun aside, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable, this point, there is indeed some inappropriateness in consideration.
"No, no, Brother Zhao, you misunderstood, in fact, I have already found you an errand, but in the past few days, I forgot to invite!"
Chu Mo's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a good way to get the best of both worlds.
