Fang Zilan looked grim and the situation was unclear, so it was really not appropriate for her to have a head-on conflict with Su Yun. She thought like this and said softly: "Master Su, since the white jade tiger talisman is not here now, you and I can't make the decision, so we might as well take a step back."
Su Yun calmed down and said, "Master Fang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Everyone in the Mo family will be detained for the time being. When my people report to Your Majesty and come back with the white jade tiger talisman, it will not be too late to deal with it." Fang Zilan had no expression on her face, but Su Yun chuckled, "Everyone in the Mo family will be detained for the time being. , is this what Mr. Fang calls each of us to take a step back? It’s too insincere.”
"Then what do you want?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and Su Yun glanced at everyone in the Mo family one by one, "Kill one to serve as a warning to others. If I let everyone in the Mo family retreat today, how can I deal with this special envoy of His Majesty's imperial title? identity?"
Fang Zilan didn't expect that he would say this, and blurted out: "What did you say?"
"With one life, I will ensure the safety of the entire Mo family." The curve of Su Yun's lips raised did not change, "Master Fang, this is my biggest concession. If you don't agree, I can only ask King Rong'an to come and make an end." After all, Mushan Pass is the fiefdom of King Rong'an. King Rong'an's words should always be true."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves into fists. The present scene of the Mo family is all thanks to King Rong'an. If it was true that before Vice General Cao sent the letter back to Beijing and Li Shengxuan knew the truth, he would let King Rong'an intervene. , then the Mo family will definitely not be able to save it.
But even if Li Shengxuan knew the truth, would he really protect the Mo family?
She suddenly remembered that Li Shengxuan had told her that between the people of the country and the rich and powerful, his choice would always be the former.
At this point, she could only take a gamble. Before Li Shengxuan's new decree came down, what she had to do was to delay as much time as possible.
"Master Su, are you threatening me?" Fang Zilan's voice revealed unspeakable pressure, and the smile on Su Yun's face did not diminish, "I don't dare. But since Master Fang said that everyone should take a step back, there must be some The sincerity of everyone taking a step back.”
"As the Duke of Yue, I only obey His Majesty's orders in the capital." Fang Zilan looked sharp, "Master Su, do you think you can force me to give in by bringing up King Rongan? Since Your Majesty has already done this, If you leave it to me, then no one can make me change my mind unless His Majesty himself speaks."
"Master Fang is so unwilling to give in, are you trying to protect the Mo family?" After Su Yun said this, without waiting for Fang Zilan's reply, he grabbed the knife of the soldier on the side with his hand, and pointed the blade at Mo Bin, "Or, are you trying to protect someone from the Mo family? personal?"
"What I'm protecting is not the Mo family, nor is it someone from the Mo family." Fang Zilan said sternly: "What I'm protecting is the innocent people who were affected. They shouldn't have lost their lives in vain because of someone else's frame-up."
"Innocent people are affected?" Su Yun looked coldly, "The pirates entered the city, and the chaos in the southeast began again. As the general of Mushan Pass, Mo Bin stood by and watched, what is it if it is not rebellion? Mr. Fang just said innocent people were affected lightly. It would be too cheap to pick all the Mo family."
Fang Zilan was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean by chaos?"
"Don't you know, Mr. Fang? The villages and towns near Mushan Pass have been attacked by pirates one after another in recent days. It's just because Mo Bin is in seclusion and under martial law and refuses to send troops to protect him." Su Yun's expression became colder, "Is it possible that innocent people are affected by such behavior?"
"You said..." Fang Zilan suddenly looked at Mo Bin and saw him lowering his head. This reaction made her feel cold.
It turned out that he knew everything, but in order to protect his family, he did not hesitate to retreat under martial law and refused to send troops, sacrificing the lives of other people who also had families, in exchange for temporary peace.
"Dad, is what Mr. Su said true?" Mo Han's voice suddenly reached everyone's ears, with a hint of trembling, a bit of anticipation, and more of caution.
"Han'er..." Mo Yang was interrupted by Fang Zilan's cold voice as soon as he opened his mouth, "Shut up, he is asking about General Mo."
Mo Bin turned his head and did not answer. Mo Han's eyes turned red. He raised his voice and repeated what he just said, "Dad, is what Mr. Su said true?"
Mrs. Hu explained eagerly: "Han'er, your father has no choice but to do so. He has his own reasons..."
"Shut up." Fang Zilan interrupted Mrs. Hu's words again, and Mo Han stared at Mo Bin intently, with hope flickering in his eyes.
She knew that Mo Han just wanted to hear what Mo Bin had to say. As long as Mo Bin was willing to say it, he would believe it no matter what it was.
However, no father is willing to let his son see his dark and despicable side, let alone admit it to his son personally.
So Mo Bin remained silent, and Mo Han's eyes still stayed on him, refusing to move away at all.
Seeing this, Su Yun snorted coldly, "Master Fang, I don't know who you were deceived by, but now that the truth is like this, are you still stubborn?"
Fang Zilan stepped forward and walked in front of Su Yun. He couldn't help but take a step back, "Master Fang, you..."
Fang Zilan's expression was cold, and she raised her hand and pinched his wrist holding the knife. He let go of the knife in pain, and watched helplessly as the knife fell into her hand, "Get out of the way."
Everyone present was intimidated by her momentum and involuntarily moved out of the way, allowing her to walk step by step in front of Mo Bin with the knife in hand, the blade pointed directly at Mo Bin's door.
"You are not willing to answer Mo Han's questions when you are about to die?" Fang Zilan looked at Mo Han, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, then turned to Mo Bin and said: "You are not protecting him, but harming him. "
Mo Bin opened his mouth and knelt down in front of Fang Zilan, "Master Fang, I did this all by myself. My family members didn't know anything about it. Please let them go!"
"Dad!" Mo Yang struggled to get to Mo Bin, but was unable to move due to the sharp weapons around him. So he shouted at Fang Zilan: "The seclusion and martial law was all my idea. My father was forced to obey by me. Mr. Fang, I am responsible for all my work. Please let the rest of the Mo family go!"
"Yang'er, shut up!" Mrs. Hu's sharp voice suddenly sounded, "It's me, this is all my idea, it's me..."
Su Yun looked at them coldly, each taking the blame and covering up each other, arguing like crazy. He couldn't help but shook his head. Just as he was about to say something to end the farce, he heard a clear and gentle voice shout: "Sister Lan."
Mo Han's almost sudden shout interrupted their quarrel. Everyone looked at him, but he only looked at Mo Bin, "Sister Lan, can you let me have a word with dad alone?"
Fang Zilan nodded slightly and signaled the soldiers beside Mo Han to let him go. Su Yun said nothing and allowed Mo Han to be let go.
Mo Han walked slowly to Mo Bin, "Dad, what Mr. Su said is true, right? You are the one who protects your family, and you are the one who sacrifices the lives of innocent people to protect your family?"
