Chapter 500

Mo Qing had also been keeping an eye on the news from the Capital city, and immediately opened the letter to read it.

He saw that his gaze while reading the letter became increasingly profound.

"Father, what on earth happened?" Seeing him put down the letter, Mo Jiuye hurriedly asked.

"The letter said that Emperor Shunwu had not held morning court for ten days. The court is now divided into three factions, with half supporting Nan Heng, and the rest supporting Prince Rui and the Fourth Prince.

There is also the matter of us killing those assassins sent by the Empress to kill the Empress that the magistrate reported to the court. At that time, Emperor Shunwu, not knowing who had instigated him, handed the matter to Xue Prime Minister to deal with.

Xue Prime Minister didn't even investigate, and after a few days he reported the matter to Emperor Shunwu, saying that the more than two hundred people who died in the northwest were all local commoners, because the Mo Family wanted to occupy their land, Jiuye brutally killed them.

As soon as this was reported to Emperor Shunwu, it aroused his thunderous anger. If it weren't for Prince Rui and Mr. Fei persuading him that there might be hidden facts in it, Emperor Shunwu would have sent troops to the northwest to arrest Jiuye.

For this reason, Prince Rui also had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Empress's party. The current situation is also increasingly dangerous."

Mo Jiuye clenched his fists: "What a good Empress, what a good Xue family, I will make sure they do not die well."

He Zhiran was also very angry at this moment. If it were in the past, she would only listen to such things, and if Mo Qing did not ask her, she would not take the initiative to express her opinion. But today was different. The Xue family was simply too bullying.

"Father, the greenhouse will be built in two days. I plan to go to the Capital city with my husband. Since they won't let the Mo Family have a good life, let's take the initiative and get rid of all those who don't mean well to the Mo Family."

"We must go to the Capital city. The Mo Family men are not cowards. It is not your turn as a woman to stand up for this." Mo Qing was the first to object.

In his opinion, although his ninth daughter-in-law was a little smarter, it was impossible for him to let a powerless weak woman rush into battle.

He Zhiran was also impatient at first, so she directly said what was on her mind.

Since the words had already been said, there was absolutely no reason to take them back, not to mention that she and Mo Jiuye had planned this in advance.

Mo Jiuye also disagreed with her going at first, partly because he was worried that she would be in danger, and partly because of their two newborn children.

But no one understood He Zhiran's temper better than him. She would not change her mind no matter how much persuasion was made to make her give up on something she wanted to do.

Having no alternative, Mo Jiuye had to compromise.

However, he had already reached an agreement with He Zhiran that she could go to the Capital city with him, but once she was in danger, she should not care about anything else and escape into the space to save her life first. If He Zhiran did not agree, he would not compromise either.

In order to be able to go to the Capital city, let alone such a simple condition, even if it was more harsh she would agree.

Therefore, the husband and wife had planned it out long ago that after the greenhouse was built, they would set off for the Capital city, regardless of whether they could receive news from the Capital city or not.

Since he had already agreed to take his wife with him, when Mo Jiuye faced opposition from his family, he naturally had to speak up to help.

"Father, Zhiran wants to go to the Capital city with me, mainly because she wants to see her father-in-law. After all, they haven't seen each other for more than a year, and she must miss her father as a daughter. "

Mo Jiuye knew his father and brothers' temperament. As people who were born and raised on the battlefield, how could they possibly let a woman participate in these struggles?

The best way was to use the excuse that his daughter-in-law missed her father.

He Zhiran also realized at this moment that she was too impatient just now and forgot about the bloody nature of the Mo men.

"Father, I was just too impatient just now. I'm actually going to the Capital city mainly to see my father."

After thinking about it, she continued.

"My mother and eldest brother both fell in love with the northwest, and plan to settle here for the long term. My trip to the Capital city this time is to try to persuade my father to resign from office and leave that vortex of struggle as soon as possible.

My father dotes on me the most, I'm afraid only I can convince him to listen, so I decided to go to the Capital city with my husband. Then my husband will go about his business, while I stay at the military minister’s residence to persuade my father."

When Mo Qing heard He Zhiran say this, although he was still doubtful in his heart, he could not stop his daughter-in-law from visiting her parents because of his own subjective ideas.

He took a deep breath and said, "Since this is the case, you husband and wife should discuss this matter yourselves. However, successfully resolving the crisis the Mo Family is facing in the Capital city this time is not an easy task. Let me discuss specific countermeasures with you brothers later. Our Mo Family is not without talent. It is impossible to let you shoulder the danger alone."

In Mo Qing's view, it would not be easy to resolve the crisis in the Capital city, although his ninth son was capable, such things could not be done alone by one person.

Moreover, his Mo Family now had nine sons, all of whom could participate except for the fourth son whose actions were hindered.

If that didn’t work out, there were still good friends like Liang Hao and Tao Ran’s group. Any one of them would be a great help to Mo Jiuye if they went along.

If it were in the past, Mo Jiuye would have had similar ideas to take several capable elder brothers to go together.

But this time was different. His wife was going with him. She had space. If necessary, she would take some special items from space to use.

Although Mo Jiuye had been a scapegoat for more than a year, those things still had reasonable ways to see the light of day.

It would be different when he went to the Capital city. If he wanted to get rid of those ill-intentioned people to the Mo Family in the simplest way, his wife would certainly take out many unexpected things. At that time, even if someone else saw it, he would really have no reason to explain.

Moreover, his wife's space was a huge secret that he would never allow one more person to know about.

"Father, have you ever thought that in the Emperor's eyes now, everyone in the Mo Family is a criminal. If our goal is too big when we go to the Capital city this time, it will be easy to expose our whereabouts. What's more, we can't guarantee that the northwest will definitely be safe.

I'll take Zhiran with me and send her to her father-in-law first. I can go alone first to check out the general situation. After knowing ourselves and knowing our enemies, I can have Little White send a message back, and then have someone come over to help."

Mo Qing agreed with Mo Jiuye's words in his heart, but he was still a little worried, so he did not respond immediately.

Instead, the fourth elder brother sitting aside spoke up.

"Father, I agree with Ninth Brother's idea. The situation in the Capital city now is also only what we understand from the letter. We can only analyze the general circumstances of how things actually are.

Instead of going with so many people ostentatiously, we might as well just do as Ninth Brother said, let him scout out the situation first before making a decision.

The little white raised by Ninth Brother is indeed extraordinary. It takes at most four days for a round trip between the Capital city and the northwest. As long as we follow Ninth Brother's arrangements and take action after receiving his message, it won't be too late."
