Mr. Fu ran away again today

On this day, Mo Chen sat by the window for a whole day, but did not wait for Ah Lang.

He waited for another day, but still did not wait for Ah Lang to appear.

Mo Chen felt a little strange, Ah Lang always kept what he said, since he said he would save Murong Yuan after three days, then he would definitely come after three days, could it be that he bypassed this small town and went directly to the capital?

The more Mo Chen thought about it, the more worried he became. On the third day, as soon as the city gate opened, he rode his horse straight to the capital. It was past noon when he arrived in the capital. The marked teahouse showed the private seal of the island owner, and asked about Prince Beidi who was escorted to Beijing a few days ago. Only then did he know that Prince Beidi had been escorted back to the capital two days ago and is now being held in the prison.

Mo Chen finally felt relieved, he asked the shopkeeper to get him two high-quality wild ginseng, while he walked out the door leisurely, wandering all the way to the gate of Prince Li's Mansion.

Mo Chen waited all afternoon, but he didn't see a familiar face, so he went back. When it was dark, he sneaked into Li Wang's mansion like a cat, and found a branch on the big tree outside Li Wang's bedroom. sitting.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a servant went in to deliver soup and medicine. Mo Chen vaguely heard Fu Chuxi's voice from inside, and they were all asking about the big and small matters of the palace. Finally, Fu Chuxi said: "Go ask Yang Lang to come see me."

When the boy left, Mo Chen hung from the tree, took a peek into the house, and saw Fu Chuxi sitting on the couch in a robe, holding a volume of books in his hand.

Mo Chen knew that he had to leave, otherwise Yang Lang would find out, and his pretense of being chic before that time would become a joke.Mo Chen sighed, secretly said "Take care", jumped up and disappeared outside the wall.

When the treetops moved, Fu Chuxi, who was reading a book, seemed to feel something, and he looked out the door.

The night was like water, and he saw nothing except the dark shadows of the trees.

Yang Lang came very quickly. He took his sword and came to Fu Chuxi, then knelt down and bowed to Fu Chuxi three times, saying: "Your Highness, will you do it yourself, or will you give your subordinates to kill themselves?"

Fu Chuxi was still reading, he said lightly: "So impatient? Don't you have anything to say?"

Yang Lang lowered his eyes and said, "No more. The subordinates who should be arranged have been arranged."

Fu Chuxi put down the book, looked at him and said, "Do you know what Island Master Mo said to me the day before returning to the capital?"

Yang Lang shook his head: "This subordinate doesn't know."

"He said, let me sell him a face, don't make things difficult for you anymore." Fu Chuxi said.

Yang Lang was a little astonished.

"But I also understand his temperament. People in the Jianghu are fond of enmity, if he knows that you killed A Lang, he will definitely come to avenge A Lang." Fu Chuxi said, "If he doesn't suspect this matter, forget it. If he becomes suspicious and finds you, you will personally apologize to him."

Yang Lang said: "Subordinate...Understood."

When Mo Chen returned to Mochen Island, it was already ten days later.

In March and April, when the south of the Yangtze River is in good spring, the streets and alleys, and the roadsides outside the city, are full of peach blossoms everywhere, paving the way like scarlet clouds.

When Mo Chen returned to the island, he went directly to the Vermillion Bird Hall without even having time to drink his saliva.

Hall Master Ma had just read the Jianghu information for the past two days when he saw Mo Chen striding in.

"Island Master, are you back?" Hall Master Ma hurriedly got up to greet him.

"En." Mo Chen sat down on the main seat, Hall Master Ma poured a cup of tea and served it, Mo Chen was really thirsty, took it and drank half a cup, put down the cup and said, "Hall Master Ma, after last time Have you continued to pay attention to Ah Lang's movements?"

Hall Master Ma shook his head and said, "Last time, according to what the Island Master said, we only checked whether Molang went out of the pass, and did not check again after that."

Mo Chen said: "Continue to investigate. Since I met A Lang in Yanchi Town on the third day of March, he has disappeared. I am worried that he is in trouble."

Master Ma cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate will send someone to investigate."

Hall Master Ma called the disciples in the door to come in, and gave instructions on this matter in front of Mo Chen. When the disciple left, Mo Chen said: "Close the door, I have something important to discuss with Hall Master Ma."

"Hallmaster Ma." Mo Chen looked at Hallmaster Ma and said, "There is one more thing, I want you to do it secretly."

Hallmaster Ma cupped his hands and said, "Please show me, Island Master."

Mo Chen lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers, and said, "I want you to open a line to collect news from the imperial court."

"What?" Hall Master Ma was taken aback, and said, "Island Master, don't be joking, the rules on the island clearly stipulate that you must not meddle in government affairs."

Mo Chen said: "I don't want to get involved, I just want to get some news."

"That doesn't work either." Hall Master Ma said, "If Elder Gao finds out, why don't you beat me to death? I have a wife and children, aren't you hurting me?"

Mo Chen held his chin and looked at Hall Master Ma, he thought for a while and said, "Then I only want news about one person?"

Hall Master Ma asked: "Whose?"

Mo Chen said: "Mr. Fu's."

Hall Master Ma frowned, and was about to sigh again, Mo Chen said: "Since you found out where the letter from the White Mansion was sent for me, you must already know Mr. Fu's identity, right?"

Hall Master Ma didn't want to admit it, but he nodded truthfully.

"I won't get involved in the affairs of the court. You just need to send someone to keep an eye on Prince Li's mansion. I don't want any exact news about what he does and who he interacts with every day. I only need two or three messages every month. Tell me that he is safe and sound, and that he has not encountered any major troubles, that's enough." After Mo Chen finished speaking, he looked at Hall Master Ma, "Just help me in private, okay?"

In the past, Mo Chen seldom troubled Zhuquetang about anything. With Mr. Fu around, the entire Mochen Island was making a lot of money. Every year, the funds applied by Zhuquetang had never been short. If it wasn't for Mr. Fu, he would have He also doesn't have the money to buy such a big house in Bai'an City and settle down the whole family.

Hall Master Ma wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Mr. Fu, he felt a little uneasy. He hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, but we can't let Elder Gao know about this."

Mo Chen quickly raised his hand to make an oath: "This is a secret between you and me. If Uncle Gao finds out someday, I will bear all the responsibilities alone! I will never implicate you!"

Coming out of the Vermillion Bird Hall, Mo Chen was in a good mood, he carried his burden back to his small courtyard.

In the yard, a peach blossom is budding, and it is about to open.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Mo Chen shouted loudly: "Xu Xiaoliang!"

"Island owner! You are back!" A figure jumped out of the room. Mo Chen was surprised that this kid seemed to have grown taller after only two months. Xu Xiaoliang had already brought a pot of wine, "Just now When you come back, island lord, I hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of good dishes, and you see, the wine has been poured."

"Smart enough, I like it!" Mo Chen threw the baggage in his hand to him, leaned back to take a sip of wine, sighed "It's good to be home", and followed Xu Xiaoliang into the house for dinner.

"Oh, let someone call me the new chief financial officer." Mo Chen thought for a while, "What's the name of that person?"

"Zhao Xuan, Manager Zhao." Xu Xiaoliang poured wine for Mo Chen, and went to invite Zhao Xuan after pouring the wine.

Mo Chen was hungry, and after a while of gorging, his stomach was full. When Xu Xiaoliang brought Zhao Xuan over, he had already moved to the couch next to him to lie down and take a nap.

"Island Master, Manager Zhao is here." Xu Xiaoliang said as soon as he entered the room.

"Hmm..." Mo Chen opened his eyes, sat up, and said, "You go and prepare the bath water for me first, and then go to see Master Gao later. Come, Mr. Zhao, please sit down."

Zhao Xuan has delicate features, is wearing a plain robe, and looks like a bookish person, which is somewhat similar to Fu Chuxi, and he seems to be someone he likes to use.

"Island owner." Zhao Xuan said after sitting down, "This is the account of the island since you retreated. Do you need me to tell you?"

Mo Chen hummed, remembering that he used to look forward to the beginning of the month every month, Fu Chuxi would take the initiative to come to him with the account book, and every time he would ask him, "You can see for yourself or I will tell you about it", his tone was not serious Zhao Xuan is so respectful, but it is the words he looks forward to hearing every month.

Zhao Xuan reported the accounts of the past six months one by one, and it was less than half an hour after the report was completed.All in all, in the past six months or so, under the original framework, everything has been stable, and there is still no problem with the profit that should be made.

"Director Zhao has done a good job." Mo Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Fu's vision is really good, especially in terms of making money and selecting talents. He never makes mistakes."

"The owner of the island has a great reputation." Zhao Xuan asked, "Can my subordinates ask Mr. Fu when he will come back? Although I have been with Mr. Fu for two years, I still feel that I have only learned a little bit from him."

"He, he's not coming back." Mo Chen didn't say much, and asked, "During my absence, what happened?"

Zhao Xuan sat up straight and said, "There is one thing I want to ask the island owner for instructions."

Mo Chen asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xuandao: "Elder Cui visited his subordinates a few days ago, and he deliberately arranged for Mr. Cui to work."

Mo Chen became angry when he heard it: "Cui Wuyue? Is that little bastard a material for doing things? If you let him in, wouldn't that mean throwing mice into the rice vat? This is absolutely impossible. Elder Cui will find you again, you Just let him come to me and say that you can't decide on this matter."

"Yes." Zhao Xuan replied.
