"When did Mo Han know it and why did he know it? What's the point of asking these questions now?" Fang Zilan spoke lightly and said to Mo Han, "Even if I tell you, what will happen?"
"You!" Mo Yang's expression suddenly turned cold. He flicked his sleeves angrily, stood up and walked in front of her. He looked at her condescendingly and asked, "Who are you?"
Fang Zilan pursed her lips and was about to say something when she heard a panicked voice coming in, "Master, the special envoy sent by the emperor to the southeast has arrived!"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the room looked towards the owner of the sound, and saw Da Kuan running to the front of the hall panting, "Sir, the special envoy is already outside the door, and we don't dare to stop him..."
Fang Zilan and Awan exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of doubt in the other's eyes. However, in just a few days, the special envoy arrived so quickly. Was it because Li Shengxuan couldn't wait any longer, or did someone else do something else?
"Why is General Mo staying behind closed doors?" Qingyue's voice came from the courtyard. Fang Zilan looked over subconsciously and saw a man in blue walking towards him. The man had a handsome face and his every move was natural and unrestrained. The words just now came from his mouth.
Not far behind him, uniform soldiers stood at attention, all from the southeast camp.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan's heart tightened. This person didn't have the White Jade Tiger Talisman, but he could control the soldiers of the southeast camp. It seems that this special envoy may not have less authority than her. If so, it would be difficult for her to keep the Mo family.
Mo Bin remained calm and allowed the man in blue to walk in, but saw him walking up to Fang Zilan and bowing respectfully: "Su Yun, the special envoy to the southeast, has met Mr. Fang, the Duke of Yue."
Su Yun? Fang Zilan quickly searched for information related to this name in her mind, and quickly remembered that he was one of the nine great ministers - a descendant of the Su family, Yushi Su Yun.
How could a civil servant mobilize troops? This is interesting.
Fang Zilan thought like this, stood up and said back: "Master Su, there is no need to be polite. Thank you for coming all the way."
Her calm and dignified appearance shocked the surrounding Mo family members into speechlessness. After a while, Mo Bin asked blankly, "Are you the new Duke of Yue, Lord Fang Zilan?"
"Yes." Fang Zilan glanced at him, and then returned to Su Yun. "Since Your Majesty sent Mr. Su here, there must be something important. I wonder what it is?"
Su Yun said softly: "Master Fang has not been heard from since he left the Southeast Camp. Your Majesty is worried about it and specially ordered me to come to Mushan Pass day and night to help Master Fang deal with the Mo family's affairs."
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "In that case, I wonder how Mr. Su plans to help me deal with the Mo family's affairs?"
Su Yun said every word indifferently, "Mo Bin rebelled, and the entire Mo family was executed."
Hearing this, Mrs. Hu took a step back in disbelief, and Mo Bin quickly supported her. Mo Yang wanted to say something, but Mo Han stopped him. He shook his head and signaled Mo Yang not to speak.
"Master Su, do you want to make the decision for me?" Fang Zilan looked cold. Su Yun cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. But..."
"Since you don't dare, just retreat." Fang Zilan interrupted him and said solemnly: "There is something hidden about the Mo family. I have sent someone back with the white jade tiger talisman to report the news. It will not be too late to deal with it after reporting it to Your Majesty. .”
Su Yun looked at the person in front of him steadily, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Master Fang, are you going to disobey His Majesty's order?"
"Your Majesty wants you to help me, not to replace me." Fang Zilan's face turned frosty, "It's not anyone else's turn to judge how I act."
The curvature of Su Yun's lips remained unchanged, "Master Fang behaves like this, but do you want to protect the Mo family?"
"Whether I protect the Mo family or not, what does it have to do with you?" Fang Zilan's eyes flashed with a trace of hostility, and Su Yun's smile grew wider, "Master Fang, whether the Mo family can be saved or not is not up to you."
After saying this, he suppressed a smile, took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty has an edict. Mo Bin rebels, and everyone in the Mo family will be executed. Implement it immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who had been guarding outside rushed in like a tide. Everyone in the Mo family in the inner hall had not yet understood the situation and did not dare to resist at will, so they could only let others take over.
"Wait a minute." Fang Zilan shouted sharply, stopping the soldiers' movements, "If the White Jade Tiger Talisman is not here, why does Master Su order the soldiers of the Southeast Camp? Even if Master Su obeys His Majesty's order, this move is an act of transgression. "
Her words struck a chord with Su Yun. His trip was nominally a special envoy, but in reality he was here to supervise her execution of the Mo family. If she insists on refusing and letting him carry out the execution, it will be unfair and unjust, and she will inevitably be criticized for overstepping her authority.
Fang Zilan glanced at Su Yun, who was standing there blankly, and smiled sarcastically, "I just wonder what he would do if His Majesty knew about Mr. Su's move? What will be the situation of the Su family in the court?"
"Master Fang!" Su Yun's expression changed imperceptibly, "Now that the matter has come to this, what do you want to do?"
"I have made it very clear just now that there is another secret behind the Mo family's affairs. Once it is reported to Your Majesty, I will deal with it how Your Majesty wants to deal with it." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Does Mr. Su think that he is a special envoy? Can you give me orders?"
Su Yun's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "The soldiers of the Southeast Camp are here, Master Fang..."
"Can't you help me?" Fang Zilan casually took out the Gongqing token and showed it in front of Su Yun, with a playful smile on his lips, "Mr. Su, do you think they will listen to you or me?"
Su Yun's face was dark and unclear, "Master Fang, do you really want to use your power to overwhelm me and refuse to obey the order? If you really do, I will truthfully report today's situation to Your Majesty. I believe that Your Majesty has your own judgment."
Fang Zilan stopped playing with the Duke's token for a moment, raised her eyes and said coldly: "Master Su is responsible for his duties as censor, and it is his duty to participate in the music. Naturally, I will not stop Master Su, please do so."
Her fearless look obviously annoyed Su Yun, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Fang disobeyed the order. Someone, take her down!"
After his words fell, the whole hall was silent. The soldiers in the southeast camp looked at each other, and no one dared to move without permission.
Seeing this, Su Yun was dumbfounded, and allowed Fang Zilan to reach out and grab the imperial edict in his hand, "Before I appeared, you just used His Majesty's imperial edict to boss you around. Now that I am here, you still want to make the soldiers of the Southeast Camp obey orders based on the imperial edict. For you, why?"
"Master Fang, even if they are unwilling to obey my orders, how can you convince the public with only the official's token?" Su Yun sneered, "Without the white jade tiger talisman, none of you or I will count."
Fang Zilan's heart sank. This Su Yun was smart. Not only was he not fooled by her official token, but he also keenly saw that the white jade tiger talisman was the key. No wonder Li Shengxuan sent him here.
She doesn't have the White Jade Tiger Talisman in her hand right now. Once there is a conflict with Su Yun, it's hard to say what the soldiers from the Southeast Battalion will do. In addition, all the Mo family members have been captured. What if something happens...
