Chapter 144 Just because Mo Jiuye can’t take action doesn’t mean she can’t take action either

Unexpectedly, Nan Heng took the initiative to ask Emperor Shunwu to go to the border with Mo Xiuyan to gain some experience.

After my fourth brother had been in the battlefield for half a year, the capital received the tragic news that he had died in battle.

The person who brought back this news was Nan Heng.

When Nan Heng was recounting the story of Mo Xiuyan's death in the main hall, he was in tears.

He even claimed that he personally led people to bury Mo Xiuyan's body.

At first, the Mo family had doubts about Nan Heng. Later, when someone went to the border to investigate, they heard that when Mo Xiuyan died, Nan Heng was also injured when he led people to pick him up.

Moreover, through some detailed analysis, it was found that Nan Heng had no reason to attack Mo Xiuyan. Therefore, gradually, the Mo family dispelled their suspicion of Nan Heng.

When Mo Jiuye heard Nan Heng mention this matter with his own ears, he clearly realized that the Mo family had been deceived by Nan Heng's methods back then.

Seeing Mo Jiuye was emotional, Nan Heng hurriedly explained.

"I didn't kill Mo Xiuyan. He died at the hands of the enemy."

Mo Jiuye didn't believe his nonsense at all, and grabbed his collar with a little more force, forcing Nan Heng to have difficulty breathing.

Nan Heng's face turned red and he coughed violently a few times.

"Let go of me, my king, let go... cough cough..."

According to Mo Jiuye's heart, he now wanted to eat Nan Heng alive, but his reason told him that he still had many questions to ask, and Nan Heng could not die at this time.

He Zhiran saw this and stepped forward to pat Mo Jiuye's body, signaling him to calm down and reminding him, "Let him talk."

Mo Jiuye gradually relaxed the strength in his hands.

"Tell me, if you dare to tell a lie, I will make you regret coming into this world."

After breathing freely, Nan Heng coughed violently a few times again. He stared at Mo Jiuye in horror, as if he found it difficult to speak.

Any of the things he had done to the Mo family would cause Mo Jiuye to be furious.

Nan Heng felt caught in a dilemma at the moment.

He was even afraid that he would die at the hands of Mo Jiuye before he could finish his words.

He Zhiran seemed to see through his thoughts and stepped forward to persuade him:

"I know what you're thinking, you're just worried about your life.

I promise you now, as long as you tell me the truth about everything you have done, I will help you persuade your husband to spare your life."

Only then did Nan Heng realize that the beautiful woman who was casting spells was actually Mo Jiuye's new wife, the legitimate daughter of Minister He.

However, he could never imagine how Shangshu He's family could raise such a powerful daughter.

Seeing that he was still hesitant to express his opinion, He Zhiran urged him, "The only way out is right before you. It's up to you to choose."

Nan Heng withdrew his thoughts and looked at He Zhiran.

"Why should I believe your words?"

He Zhiran curled the corners of his lips and looked at Mo Jiuye: "Husband, do you listen to me or not?"

Mo Jiuye nodded without even thinking: "Of course I will listen."

He Zhiran shrugged at Nan Heng: "Did you hear that? My husband admitted himself that he would listen to me."

Nan Heng seemed to have grabbed the last straw at this moment.

"Then you must promise me that no matter what I say, Mo Jiuye will not lay a hand on me."

"Okay, I promise you on behalf of my husband."

Without waiting for Mo Jiuye to answer, He Zhiran spoke first.

Just because Mo Jiuye couldn't take action didn't mean she couldn't either...

Seeing this, Nan Heng's fear gradually subsided.

"Back then at the border, Mo Xiuyan and I went to the battlefield together to fight the enemy. When I saw the enemy army was beaten to pieces, I wanted to give chase.

Mo Xiuyan advised me not to pursue the desperate enemy, but I was young and hot-headed at that time, and I only wanted to gain some credit so as to be appreciated by my father, so I did not listen to Mo Xiuyan's advice.

I led a team of people to chase after them, and soon we fell into the enemy's trap.

At the critical moment, Mo Xiuyan led his men to rescue me. He fought his way out for me to escape, but he and those soldiers died there.

Mo Xiuyan died to save me, and it had nothing to do with me. It was out of gratitude for his kindness that I personally led people to bury him..."

"Asshole, my fourth brother is such a good man, but he died to save a beast like you who is worse than pigs and dogs... Nan Heng, you bastard..."

When Mo Jiuye heard the real reason for his fourth brother's unjust death, he was so angry that he cursed.

At the same time, he raised the knife in his hand and aimed it at Nan Heng, ready to chop it down.

"Mo Jiuye, you have already promised me that you will not attack me..."

Seeing this, He Zhiran stepped forward and took the knife from Mo Jiuye's hand.

"Husband, I just promised him myself that you wouldn't do anything to him."

Faced with Mo Jiuye's loss of control, she had to remind him.

It's not that He Zhiran is too soft-hearted. Judging from Nan Heng's current condition, if Mo Jiuye attacks him again, it will be difficult for them to ask him anything in the future.

In He Zhiran's heart, revenge must be taken, but there is no need to rush.

Once they have completely squeezed out everything Nan Heng knows, they can torture him in any way they want.

Mo Jiuye also knew this truth very well, but he was too depressed, which made his behavior somewhat uncontrollable.

After He Zhiran's reminder, his rationality quickly returned, and he cooperated and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Ranran."

Nan Heng had just been frightened by Mo Jiuye's behavior, but now seeing that this woman could really control his temper, Nan Heng felt a little relieved.

This time, it was He Zhiran who stepped forward to ask.

"Nan Heng, let me ask you, my fourth brother died saving you, why didn't you tell the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Heng's eyes became a little evasive, mainly avoiding Mo Jiuye.

"You Mo family members have always sided with Nan Qi. Once I reveal the true cause of Mo Xiuyan's death, I'm afraid you Mo family members will immediately and openly defect to Nan Qi."

He Zhiran glanced at Mo Jiuye, and Mo Jiuye nodded, indicating that he had no objection to Nan Heng's answer.

She continued to ask: "Besides what happened to my fourth brother, what else have you done to the Mo family?"

Nan Heng still glanced at Mo Jiuye with a guilty conscience: "Before the Mo family was exiled, I bribed the servants in the Duke's Mansion to poison the well."

For Mo Jiuye, this is not controversial.

At that time, the first person he thought of who might have poisoned him was Nan Heng.

Fortunately, He Zhiran was there, and the Mohist people escaped this disaster.

He Zhiran continued to ask: "What else?"

Nan Heng thought for a moment and continued, "Also, I accidentally discovered that Mo Yunfeng is still alive and has been infected by Yun Li's puppet Gu.

Thinking about how he once led people to wipe out the salt gang that I had painstakingly built up, I began to think about asking him to work for me."

"Why are you doing this?" He Zhiran asked.

"Only by doing this can I relieve the hatred in my heart."

It can be seen that the member of the Mo family that Nan Heng hates the most is undoubtedly Mo Yunfeng.

They had already learned about this matter when Yun Li was hypnotized, and the two people's answers were almost the same. Therefore, He Zhiran did not continue to ask about this topic.
