If Shen Jinchuan dared to touch upon the iron mine, at any other time, he would have dealt with Shen Jinchuan immediately.
It’s just that the current situation is a bit special——
In about two months, neighboring countries will send envoys to congratulate him on his birthday.
At this moment, he personally dealt with Shen Jinchuan. If the matter got bigger and the neighboring countries knew about it, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the neighboring countries? Where would he put his face?
Of course, just because he didn't deal with Shen Jinchuan personally didn't mean that the matter was settled.
He raised Mo Zechen single-handedly, and he knew Mo Zechen's character very well.
Although Mo Zechen has a cold personality, he is very defensive.
If he had done anything else, Mo Zechen might have listened to him and turned a blind eye to what Shen Jinchuan did.
But - who made Shen Jinchuan plot against Su Qianxi some time ago.
Mo Zechen didn't find a chance to teach Shen Jinchuan a lesson before, but now the opportunity was right in front of him. If Mo Zechen didn't do something, it would be out of character for him.
Therefore, even if he had something to say first, Mo Zechen would most likely not be obedient.
This matter will definitely be spread secretly to Shen Jinchuan's brothers.
With the attention his sons paid to Mo Zechen, as long as Mo Zechen let someone let some news out, his sons would definitely follow the information Mo Zechen released to investigate.
After they discovered how many little tricks Shen Jinchuan had done behind their backs over the years—
He was also very curious about what his son, who had kept a low profile for many years, could do in the face of an attack from his brothers.
"yes."
After Li Ping received the emperor's order, he turned around and went out to tell someone to send a message to Mo Zechen.
After Li Ping left, the emperor took out the imperial edict he had prepared long ago and frowned solemnly.
Mo Zechen said in his previous letter that if Su Qianxi hadn't found the iron mine accidentally, maybe they would never have discovered the existence of the iron mine.
Based on this incident, it is appropriate to give Su Qianxi the first rank title of Madam.
It's just that - in Yun Dynasty, there are only a handful of first-grade wives today, and most of them are highly respected old ladies.
Moreover, he also considered that Su Qianxi's biological mother was only a second-grade imperial concubine.
If Su Qianxi is granted the title of first-grade imperial concubine, wouldn't it mean that Su Qianxi has suppressed her mother?
But Su Qianxi’s contribution is real. You can’t ask Su Qianxi just because you care about others.
No one knew the emperor's dilemma at the moment. When Mo Zechen received the urgent letter from the capital and saw that the letter stated that the backer behind You Jishi was Shen Jinchuan, he was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly remembered that Su Qianxi had told him when he was about to come to Xuancheng that Shen Jinchuan might know about Xuancheng and he might be one of the backers behind Xuancheng officials.
Now the above news confirms Su Qianxi's guess.
At that time, Su Qianxi only heard a few words from Su Ruowei, and she dug out the cocoons to find Shen Jinchuan.
Sure enough - the people who know you best in the world are often your enemies.
After Mo Zechen sighed in his heart, he took the letter and went directly to the prison to interrogate You Governor.
You Jishi, who was beaten to a bloody pulp and could barely see his human form, was dragged out of the cell like a dead dog and tied to a shelf.
Today's Governor You is no longer as arrogant as when he had Mo Zechen and his party killed in the gold mine.
At this moment, he was like a candle in the wind, his face was bloodless, his eyelids were drooped, and he looked so weak, as if he would die in the next second.
Mo Zechen sat on the chair not surprised.
Despite his age, Governor You is still in good health.
Despite having survived so many tortures, he always looked like he was about to die these days, as if he was not dead yet.
"You Jinchang, aren't you still going to tell the truth?"
Mo Zechen's cold voice sounded.
You Jishi raised his eyes tiredly and looked at Mo Zechen, still speaking harshly.
"I said, I don't have a backer. If I had a backer, why would I be assigned to take up the post in a place as useless as Xuancheng?"
"Such a simple truth, Prince Regent, can you not understand it?"
"Or is it that the regent clearly knows that there is no one behind me, but someone has offended you, and you want to use my mouth to frame others so that you can achieve your purpose of killing people with a borrowed knife?"
Hearing Eugene Chang's slander against him, Mo Zechen's expression remained unchanged. However, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the shadow behind Mo Zechen. His right hand was already on the hilt of the sword he carried with him, waiting for Mo Zechen Ordered.
A prisoner dared to maliciously frame his prince, he was simply seeking death!
"Yu Jinchang, don't talk too much. Since you said there is no one behind you, that's strange——"
Mo Zechen spoke slowly, as if he was afraid that Governor You might not hear clearly, and said slowly, "I have sent people to investigate, and now I have a piece of evidence in my hand that can prove that you were transferred to Xuancheng to take up the post. It’s the Third Prince Shen Jinchuan’s effort.”
After You Jishi heard the name of the third prince Shen Jinchuan from Mo Zechen's mouth, his pupils shrank slightly.
He quickly came to his senses, controlled his facial expression, and tried to look angry.
"Third Prince?"
"I have no enmity with him, why would he harm me?!"
Mo Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, harming him?
You Jishi didn't pay attention to Mo Zechen's expression and continued to perform.
"I just told you why I was sent to Xuancheng, a place where no one cares. It turned out to be the Third Prince's fault."
"What did I do wrong? The third prince wants to ruin my future like this..."
"okay."
After listening to You Jishi's accusation, Mo Zechen immediately understood You Jishi's plan and interrupted him directly.
"Since I can clearly point out the connection between you and the third prince in front of you, I will naturally have evidence that you two secretly colluded. There is no need for you to act in front of me."
"I came to interrogate you today just to get your confession and make the evidence more complete."
Mo Zechen looked nonchalant, as if this confession was really dispensable.
"If you tell everything honestly, maybe all nine of your clans won't be implicated by you."
Eugene Chang closed his mouth and looked at Mo Zechen with unclear eyes, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Mo Zechen didn't rush him, he calmly picked up the tea cup placed aside, used the edge of the tea lid to gently skim off the foam on the surface of the tea, took a sip of tea, and drank the tea calmly.
Amid the smell of blood and the screams of prisoners being interrogated and tortured from time to time, Mo Zechen seemed to be in a different space from them.
The calmer Mo Zechen seemed at this moment, the more uncertain Eugene Chang felt.
