Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder
Chapter 658 The Regent Heard My Thoughts 15
Moran Shan's past fame, which she had accumulated by shining in various poetry gatherings, stealing the spotlight when solving riddles, and being bold and flamboyant in business, has now become a double-edged sword.
At that moment, Mo Chonglin felt that the Mo family had completely lost face.
If others didn't know what Moranshan looked like, or even if she rarely appeared in public, he could simply say that the woman kidnapped by bandits was a concubine's daughter from a wealthy household.
However, this time he had no room for confusion.
There was no other reason than that Moran Shan was a bold woman who, under the guise of being a heroine, did things that women wouldn't do.
Just like in business, which family doesn't hire someone to manage their shop for their daughter?
Only Moranshan did everything herself, whether it was negotiating business or hiring long-term workers, and she had dealt with countless people.
They naturally recognized the luxurious carriage drawn by the two black horses. If the Mo family weren't so powerful, who, apart from a first-class family, would dare to use such an ostentatious carriage?
The officers and soldiers led their team to raid the bandit's den, but they didn't find Mo Lanshan there; instead, they found her in a cave in the mountains.
At this moment, Moranshan was covered in bruises from the fall, her clothes were tattered, and not far away was a wrecked carriage, the two horses of which had long since fled.
Inside the cave, there was a maid who had fallen and was bleeding from her head. The soldiers confirmed the identities of the two women and placed them in the carriage they had brought.
250 reported to Akahoshi: "Don't worry, she wasn't actually sent to the bandits' den. Her reputation is ruined anyway."
She sighed inwardly, thinking that her princess was too kind. If she were in charge, she would have let the bandits torture her to death, so that Moranshan wouldn't be able to harm anyone.
Akahoshi didn't have such a perverse sense of humor. This woman was destined to die, but he disdained to use such methods.
Ah Yu is such a kind person, she would definitely feel uncomfortable knowing that he plotted to kill a woman.
What he didn't know was that Mu Zeyu was actually hoping that Mo Lanshan would really go to the bandit's den.
"Is it just a rumor? Then let's add fuel to the fire," Mu Zeyu said to his two bodyguards.
Mu Shiyi and Mu Shier accepted the order and carried it out, while Mu Yi, the remaining one, was filled with resentment.
"Your Highness, the sons of the Mo family are all beasts. Over the years, countless people have been murdered. If the people we sent hadn't happened to be there, the Hu family's daughter would have been raped to death by him."
Mu Er also said, "That's right. The Mo family only suffered a loss of reputation. It's too easy for them. Old Hu's sister is an embroiderer in Mo Lanshan's embroidery workshop."
Mo Lanxuan repeatedly harassed the embroiderer, and Mo Lanshan always claimed it was a joke, which emboldened Mo Lanxuan to force himself on her.
Old Hu was their former comrade-in-arms. Back when they were still green recruits, Old Hu was discharged from the army due to a leg injury and did not receive much compensation.
Over the years, he has dragged his disabled leg to make and sell tofu, and he has finally raised his younger sister. This is the first time his sister has done embroidery, and she has only been there for less than two months. If she is really ruined and dies, I guess Old Hu will not be able to live either.
Over the years, they had also sought help from Lao Hu to improve their family's life. Mu Zeyu even asked him to work at the Prince's Mansion, but he refused.
Mu Zeyu told him to sell the tofu to the military camp, so he wouldn't have to set up a stall on the street and wouldn't have to worry about not being able to sell it all. His family's life gradually improved.
The younger sister was raised very well, but she became the target of the Mo brothers.
Yes, their investigation revealed that the Mo family wasn't just limited to the third young master.
In reality, the three brothers owned a manor where they kept the girls they had abducted or bought, allowing them to choose and play with them. Naturally, quite a few of them died from their abuse.
"Gather evidence before taking action." Mu Zeyu said expressionlessly.

As the days went by, Akahoshi measured his height every day. He not only grew taller, but also gained some weight on his face and body.
However, as his exercise level gradually increased, he still didn't look much fatter, but he did have a thin layer of muscle in his abdomen.
Mu Zeyu is a military general, and his body is not weak. Even if his waist is very thin, it is not something that Chixing can wrap his hand around.
Akahoshi stood in front of the mirror, still not entirely satisfied with her figure.
"You should eat more meat to get stronger."
In his mind's eye, he warned 250: "I advise you to give me a solid character design next time, otherwise..."
The working cat remained silent, only daring to be angry but not daring to speak out. After all, it was just a working cat, and the client would always make demands.
【receive. 】
After Chi Xing finished bathing and went out, Mu Zeyu was listening to Mu Yi report something. When he saw Chi Xing coming over, Mu Yi paused, and Mu Zeyu gestured for him to continue.
Mu Yi: "After we found the evidence, we worked with the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture to arrest the people in that courtyard and rescued the women and children."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yi and the other guards felt a chill in the wind around them, and Mu Zeyu's expressionless face was terribly gloomy.
Chi Xing moved closer and sat down next to Mu Zeyu, took his hand, and played with his hand with its distinct knuckles and slight calluses.
The surrounding cold seemed to have eased, and Mu Yi couldn't help but admire Chi Xing.
When the prince was angry, no one dared to breathe loudly, yet His Majesty dared to approach him and even hold the prince's hand.
More importantly, the prince's gloomy expression gradually softened, and he spoke to Chixing in a gentle and soft voice:
"Xingxing, why don't you go back and rest first?"
Chixing shook his head: "Don't be angry, I'll kill them another day."
Those people deserved to die, but Mu Zeyu didn't want to dirty the young emperor's hands.
His little emperor is so innocent and kind, he probably wouldn't even dare to kill a little rabbit.
He took Chi Xing's hand and kissed the back of it. Those around him lowered their heads, not daring to look. Mu Zeyu said:
"We don't need you. Their salaries can't be taken for nothing; it's their job to do it."
[Ayu's lips are so soft, I love them. But shouldn't I be the one kissing her hands? Is Ayu going to want to be on top again?]
250 asks a curious question: [If the Immortal Lord really wanted to, would you agree?]
Akahoshi had never seriously thought about this question, because Ayu always gave in to him. Perhaps this was the most direct feeling of being favored, so he didn't need to think about it.
Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Mu Zeyu felt a surge of tenderness replace his previous anger. He reached out and ruffled Chi Xing's hair, signaling Mu Yi to continue.
"Some of these people were trafficked from other places, and the Prefect of the Capital Prefecture would work with other local prefects to investigate the case."
Furthermore, Mo Chonglin has already begun taking action; he will likely pressure people to release his son, or find someone to take the blame.
"Send people to guard them. Also, spread the Mo family's scandals far and wide. I want the Mo family to become the target of public condemnation."
"Yes."
After the others left, Mu Zeyu hugged Chixing in his arms, and the two sat quietly in the courtyard, the setting sun casting an orange glow over the entire yard.
"Ayu, I've grown taller again." Akashi's eyes were practically overflowing with joy.
"Are you so happy just because you've grown taller?" Mu Zeyu sat down face to face with him to compare, and Chi Xing was only a little bit shorter than him.
He leaned close to Akahoshi's ear and whispered, "If Akahoshi is taller than me, then I'll let Akahoshi be on top."
