Chapter 131 The Shopkeeper is Too Enchanting 11

"Master Li, how are you?"

"Brother Zhang! You actually came to Jindu in person."

Upon recognizing the person, Jindu Prefect Li Yan immediately greeted him warmly.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I came here to discuss something with Lord Li. How about we talk for a moment?"

Li Yan looked around and then made an inviting gesture to Zhang Fu, "Brother Zhang, please follow me to the study to chat."

After sending all the servants away, Li Yan closed the study door and bowed respectfully to Zhang Fu. "Sir, are you here for the young lady's matter?"

Zhang Fu found a seat and sat down, but did not answer his question directly. "The Prime Minister's situation in the capital has become increasingly difficult recently. The new emperor wants to cultivate his own power and is increasingly wary of the old men in the court."

"But now that the new emperor is still young, I'm afraid he won't be able to make much of a splash."

"Lord Li, what you said is inappropriate. All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all people in the land are his subjects. If His Majesty wants to embarrass the people below, it will be easy."

Zhang Fu picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a glass of water. After relieving his thirst, he continued to say to Li Yan, "But if we let him get down from that position, wouldn't there be nothing to be afraid of?"

Li Yan's pupils widened, but he quickly regained his composure. "Jindu has been gathering strength for a long time, just waiting for the Prime Minister's order. But, what should Miss do?"

"As for the young lady, she is the prime minister's only blood after all. We can't let her wander around outside forever. This time I came to Jindu, firstly to tell you to be prepared, and secondly to bring the young lady back personally. However, the young lady is still too rebellious. I can't persuade her. I guess I can only use force."

Li Yan nodded in agreement. "Young lady has a strong personality and will not easily listen to advice. Besides, young lady's skills are also very impressive. If you want to use force, why don't I send more people to assist you?"

"inappropriate,"

Zhang Fu shook his head. "You also said that the young lady is very skilled. I'm afraid your men can't beat her. Besides, a big event is imminent, so we shouldn't make a big fuss. Why don't you send someone to help me find some medicine that can temporarily stop people from using their martial arts?"

"Your Excellency is right. I will go and give the order immediately."

----

"Sister, everything in the capital has been arranged. Ayi and Nana will stay there to provide support. I will come over to help you."

"it is good."

The last time Zhang Fu came to see her, Mo Chen felt something strange. The prefect of Jindu was Qin Xizong's man. Perhaps this person already knew her whereabouts when she first came to Jindu, but he didn't send anyone to disturb her for two months. Recently, he was anxious to let her go back, and even asked Zhang Fu to come to find her.

You know, Zhang Fu has always been his confidant. Mo Chen doesn't think that Qin Xizong, a profit-seeking guy, would send his confidant to Jindu for the sake of a daughter. To make him send people to Jindu, he must be doing something big. It seems that the emperor's investigation of him must have made him aware of it.

So Mo Chen quickly contacted the people in Beijing and asked them to prepare for the response.

Mo Chen came to Jindu ostensibly to get away from the capital and his biological father Qin Xizong, but in fact, he did so to secretly investigate the evidence of Qin Xizong's crimes.

Jindu is an economic fortress in the south, with opportunities to make money everywhere. Moreover, the emperor is far away and the people in the capital cannot supervise it that far. Therefore, Qin Xizong had already set his sights on this place and turned Jindu into his own gold-making place.

The government of Jindu had long been controlled by him, and all the money he earned was used to recruit soldiers and raise horses. He had been doing this for at least five years, and he did it extremely secretly. If it weren't for Mo Chen's junior brother Fu Yi who had the largest intelligence organization, Yanhui Pavilion, he would not have known about this.

These things were all done in Jindu, so no matter how covert they were, some clues would surely be found here. Mo Chen originally wanted to find evidence that he privately raised soldiers and horses and bring him down, but now he might have to change his plan.

When the old emperor was in power, his sons were fighting each other to the death, but Qin Xizong was the one who held his ground. Although the current emperor stood firm in the end, he also suffered a lot in this fight. Therefore, for Qin Xizong, now is definitely the perfect time for him to rebel.

Not to mention that the enemy has been alerted now, so he is afraid that he can't wait any longer. Zhang Fu's arrival in Jindu is a signal, so it is no longer important to find clues now. Preventing him from succeeding in the rebellion is the top priority at the moment.

As for why she wanted to go against her father?

That's because there is no father-daughter relationship between the two. To Mo Chen, he is even his enemy.

This is actually a very vulgar story. When Mo Chen's mother married Qin Xizong, he was just a poor scholar. Later, he passed the imperial examination and in order to have a smoother career, he abandoned his wife and three-year-old daughter at home and married a young lady from a wealthy family in Beijing.

From then on, he rose rapidly in the capital, but Mo's mother died soon after due to excessive grief. If Mo Chen had not been taken in by his current master, he would not have lived long at such a young age.

Mo Chen's master was a good man and also a martial arts master. She learned all her martial arts from her master. In addition to Mo Chen, he later accepted several apprentices. Like Mo Chen, they were all homeless and poor children. After raising them, Mo Chen's master went on a leisurely journey around the world.

Over the years, Mo Chen has never forgotten how her profit-seeking father Qin Xizong abandoned her and her mother. However, her power is limited, and it is impossible for her to shake Qin Xizong, who has become the prime minister. Therefore, Mo Chen also built up her own power in the world together with several junior brothers and sisters.

But what Mo Chen didn't expect was that before she went to find trouble with Qin Xizong, he came to her instead.

No one knew if it was retribution, but Qin Xizong didn't have any other children except her. As he got older, he became more and more anxious. For this reason, he sought help from many famous doctors and tried many folk remedies, but in the end he learned that he might never have children again in this life.

Because he couldn't have children, he finally remembered Mo Chen, his daughter whom he had abandoned long ago, and wanted to take her back. Of course, Mo Chen would not agree to this, so he took the opportunity to run to Jindu.

"Abin, if Qin Xizong really intends to rebel, it will be difficult for us alone to stop him. This matter must be made known to people in the court." Mo Chen looked at Yan Bin, whom he had not seen for a long time, and discussed with him.

After hearing this, Yan Bin pondered for a while and replied, "Now that the new emperor has only been in office for a short time, the power in the court is limited. I'm afraid the news can only be passed on through the Dali Temple."

"That's right!" Mo Chen nodded in agreement. "It just so happens that we have someone from the Dali Temple in Youyun Tower. I'll leave this matter of Abin to you."
