Not long after, the royal guards beside the emperor brought news from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince has ordered people to exterminate a group of bandits."
The emperor couldn't help but be shocked and made an incredible voice: "The second brother is so powerful that he actually wiped out a group of bandits?"
Even Prince Yan exclaimed: "Your Majesty, it seems that my second nephew has sincerely realized his mistake. He was eager to suppress the bandits and perform meritorious service just after his house was ransacked."
The emperor snorted coldly: "Oh, even if he has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits, I am not going to forgive him. Let him go for now. Now that the epidemic has broken out, there is turmoil everywhere, and bandits are rampant. It is really time to clear them out. Since he is so eager to perform meritorious service, then I will send him to suppress the bandits."
...
After Xiaoliu wiped out the bandits, he took their lair, captured the bandit leader alive, and brought him to Mo Jing'an.
Mo Jingan gritted his teeth and glared at the bandit in front of him: "You are the one who led people to rob my people and robbed my money?"
The bandit leader was kneeling on the ground with his body tied up. Two guards with knives looked at him and put the knives against his neck.
The bandit leader cried and begged for mercy: "My lord, you are wronged. I did not steal the silver. My men and I only picked up a few taels of silver in total, and there is no more."
"How many taels of silver?"
Mo Jingan's eyes were wide open, "You actually said there are only a few taels of real gold and silver for those dozen carriages?"
Mo Jingan was so angry that he kicked him hard: "Tell me, where did you hide my money?"
The bandit leader vomited a mouthful of blood and was about to cry without tears: "You are wronged, Your Majesty. I didn't lie. You are really wronged. When I went there, there was nothing but a pile of empty boxes."
"Liar!" Mo Jingan shouted angrily, "What about my money? Where did it go? If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you!"
The bandit leader cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, even if you kill me, I can't get it out. You took away all my lair and killed all my men. If you don't believe me, you can search me all over." Just a few taels of silver."
Mo Jingan clenched his fists tightly, wishing to cut this tough-talking bandit into pieces.
At this time, Xiao Liu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed not true. I searched all their lairs and didn't see any of our money."
Mo Jing'an swept over coldly, and was so angry that he slapped Xiao Liu away, and became furious: "Then tell me, what happened? You said that the money was taken away by them, but where is the money?"
Xiao Liu got up from the ground, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Liu was hit by the smoke and fell into a coma. When he woke up, the silver in the carriage was gone. He only saw these bandits. Xiao Liu Guilty, I don’t know where the money went..."
The bandit leader on the side said again: "Your Majesty, when we rushed there, we only saw them unconscious, and the money in the carriage was also missing. This money must have been robbed by others first, and it has nothing to do with me. My lord, please let me go..."
Mo Jingan narrowed his eyes: "So, there's someone else stealing the money?"
The bandit leader nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Liu also nodded.
Mo Jingan thought slowly for a moment, then turned to look at the bandit leader again. This man already knew that he had a lot of money. In case something happened, he could not be let go and left alive.
Then, he ordered his men: "Drag him down and kill him."
The bandit leader's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
No matter how heartbreaking he shouted, he was dragged away.
At this time, Xiao Liu was kneeling on the ground and shivering. The bandit leader was dead. It would be his turn next...
Unexpectedly, Mo Jingan looked at him and said, "I will spare your life for the time being, and then go check to see if there are any other bandits nearby. You must find my batch of silver."
Xiao Liu knelt on the ground and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. I will go right away."
Mo Jing'an was so anxious that he walked around the room, almost going crazy with his temper, "My money, where did it go?"
All his belongings were gone, and now he had people he wanted to die, but he didn't dare to make a big fuss, let alone let the emperor know that if the emperor knew that he had more than a dozen carriages of gold and silver , then it’s really over.
Is it possible that he can only suffer the loss of being dumb?
Not long after, the chief eunuch from the palace came to report: "Second Prince, the Emperor said that you have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits this time, and plans to entrust the Prince to a more important position."
"Oh?" Mo Jingan was a little surprised and asked excitedly: "What's the reuse method?"
Is Father planning to restore his title?
The great eunuch said: "The emperor said that the situation in the surrounding area is currently turbulent and bandits are frequently seen. He has sent the prince to personally exterminate the bandits."
"What?" Mo Jingan's eyes widened: "You want me to personally kill the bandits?"
"Yes, my lord."
Mo Jing'an's legs went weak and he almost fell down. The eunuch quickly supported him: "Second Prince, are you okay? The emperor said that this is a good opportunity for you to make up for your past mistakes. It depends on whether the bandits can be wiped out in one fell swoop this time. Your Majesty."
Mo Jing'an's palms were sweating, and his teeth were chattering as he said, "Thank you, Father, for me. I will... obey your orders."
After the eunuch issued the decree, he left with satisfaction.
Mo Jingan collapsed and shouted, so angry that he picked up the chair beside him and threw it to the ground.
"Does he think that this king is idle? To destroy the bandits, have all the bandits in the world been wiped out?"
The large group of bandits is okay, but the small group of bandits are scurrying everywhere and it is difficult to annihilate them in one fell swoop. They are like leeks and cannot be cut all off. It is not as simple as wiping out a mountain.
Besides, that group of bandits has taken over the mountain and is king, robbing homes, killing people, setting fires, and doing all kinds of bad things. If he comes out of this limelight, once those bandits get jealous, they will hide in the dark and attack him.
This trip narrowly escaped death. Did his father want his life?
...
At this time in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Chu Yingluo was staying in the space happily counting money.
She looked at the mountains of gold in front of her and laughed like crazy. The golden gold was still shining. She counted it all night long, but she couldn't count the exact number. It was roughly a billion, and she even set aside a special One room was used to store gold.
She has never seen so much real money in her two lifetimes. She can laugh even in her dreams now.
Laugh and get rich!
I collected myself and walked out of the space.
She looked at the yard and began to think about how to buy it, but she couldn't be too high-profile yet. The yard was as simple as possible. It was used to cover people's eyes and ears, and she could spend money on food.
Then she bought two more handymen slaves to do rough work, so that Wu Dakui and Wu Jiaojiao, the brothers and sisters, could have their hands free to do things for her.
Wu Jiaojiao is strong and capable of fighting, which allows her to practice martial arts and become a military commander.
Wu Dakui was weak in body but good in mind. In addition, he loved reading, which allowed him to become a scholar and embark on an official career.
One day, there will be more right-hand men in the court.
