The Fourth Prince's expression changed. In the morning, he was in a hurry to go to the palace to find the imperial physician and report the matter to his father, so he really didn't see Uncle Kang.
As for the blueprint of the heavy crossbow, apart from my grandfather who had a copy, only Kang Shu knew it.
But the Uncle Kang he knew was a man of loyalty and righteousness who didn't want to trouble them with anything, so how could he use the blueprints to frame them?
"Shu Fei, go to the Imperial Hospital now and ask the imperial physician to go back to the Mo Mansion with you to see Master Mo."
The emperor stood up and said solemnly, "If there is anything, send someone to the palace to tell me immediately."
If Mo Lao's hand really cannot recover, Tianqi will also be hit hard.
"I obey your command."
Concubine Shu bowed and saluted, then took the Fourth Prince out of the imperial study.
As the two of them left, a bird flew in from the door and landed on the floor of the imperial study.
Yu Yiluo stood up and walked towards the bird, reached out and touched the bird's head. The bird chirped for a while before flying away.
Something had indeed happened to Little Zhuzi. The Qiang State had even reached Tianqi.
"Your Majesty, General Jin requests an audience."
Eunuch Cao said at the door.
"Send someone in."
Jin Ting'an walked in wearing silver armor and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I found a body by the lake outside the city. It was wearing eunuch's palace attire. I wonder if there are any eunuchs missing from the palace?"
Today he got up and went to the market, and heard people talking about a dead body by the lake outside the city, so he hurriedly took people to check the situation.
[Isn't that little Zhuzi by the lake? My uncle actually found the body before my father's people did.]
[I don't know if my uncle has found any traces of the Qiang people.]
"It's true that a eunuch has gone missing," the emperor frowned, "but has the cause of death been discovered?"
"I found a piece of cloth in the snow. The pattern on it is unique to the Qiang people."
Jin Ting'an took out the found cloth and handed it to the emperor. "I think some Qiang people have sneaked into Tianqi and are causing trouble there. I don't know why they would target a little eunuch."
He couldn't understand why both the Qiang and Li countries hated the General's Mansion the most. Since they had sneaked into Tianqi, why didn't they attack the General's Mansion but a little eunuch instead?
"Just now, the Fourth Prince came into the palace and said that Master Mo had fallen and broken his hand. I think the Qiang people's goal is to destroy Master Mo."
"I feel there are many suspicious points in this matter," Jin Ting'an frowned slightly. "Although the Qiang Kingdom is not truly submitting to Tianqi, it would not go so far as to sneak into Tianqi and cause trouble in such a high-profile manner as stipulated in the contract."
"Regardless of whether it was done by the Qiang people or not, you must immediately lead your men to search for any people from other countries who have infiltrated."
"Yes, I will do it now."
"Eunuch Cao."
"The servant is here."
Hearing the emperor calling him, Eunuch Cao hurried in and asked, "What does the emperor want?"
"Prepare the carriage to go to the Mo Mansion."
…
Outside the palace, Mo Kang, dressed in black, walked towards a remote alley.
The alley was very narrow and filled with a foul smell.
He held his breath, quickened his pace and walked to the door of a dilapidated house. He clenched his hanging hands into fists, then gradually loosened them.
Looking up at the clear sky, Mo Kang let out a long breath, raised his hand, pushed open the dilapidated door and walked in.
When I walked into the yard, it was silent. Apart from the dripping sound of water as the snow melted, the only sound was the wind blowing through the dry branches.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go forward and search room by room, the door was pushed open from the inside.
A sturdy man walked out from inside. He was wrapped very tightly, with only a pair of eyes that were different from those of the Tianqi people showing.
"Here I am. Where's the stuff?"
The man didn't speak Chinese fluently and his pronunciation was not very clear.
Mo Kang was at the bottom of the stairs, looking into the house, "Where's my mother?"
"Your mother?" The man sneered. "You want to trade the blueprints for your mother? Then how are you going to pay me back the money you owe me?"
I didn’t expect that the Tianqi people’s plan was so useful. The secret trick on that little eunuch was really great. The person in front of me was under his control.
"Old Mo's hand is already broken, what else do you want from me?"
Mo Kang had a cold face and there was a hint of anger in his voice when he said this.
After his mother was paralyzed in the fall, he was busy helping Mr. Mo and had no time to take care of her, so he thought of going to the gambling house to win some money and hire someone to take care of her.
Unexpectedly, his luck was very bad. He lost all the money he won last time and even owed money to others.
Since he couldn't give the money, these people wanted to attack him.
At that time, the man in front of him appeared and helped him.
After leaving the gambling house with this man, he used this incident to threaten him, saying that if he didn't obey, he would tell Mr. Mo what happened in the gambling house.
He didn't want Mr. Mo to know that he was going to gamble, so he agreed to this person's request. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see who wanted to harm the Mo family.
Unexpectedly, this man asked him to find a way to break Mr. Mo's hand.
Mo Kang knew very well how important the hand was to Mr. Mo, so he refused outright. However, the man came prepared and captured his mother to threaten him.
If he dared to refuse, his mother would die.
"Give me the blueprints. If you can't pay me back, you can continue working for me."
The man's words interrupted Mo Kang's thoughts. Mo Kang came to his senses, walked up the stairs and stared at the man.
"I can give you the blueprints, but you have to let my mother go."
"Okay, if you try to play tricks on me, I won't show any mercy," the man turned around, kicked the door open, and pointed at the ground, "Your mother is there."
"Mom," Mo Kang walked to his mother's side and squatted down. Sensing something was wrong, he tried to feel his mother's breath with trembling hands, but ended up falling heavily to the ground.
The man seemed to realize something when he saw this and spoke.
"I didn't kill your mother."
He wanted the blueprints, and this person was the key to whether he could get the blueprints. If this person died, he would not be able to get the blueprints.
"Why did she die if you didn't kill her?"
Mo Kang's eyes were red and he clenched his fists as he looked at the man in front of him.
"You Qiang people are truly despicable. Do you think you can be as powerful as Tianqi just by getting the blueprints? You're simply dreaming."
The man seemed to have been hit in a sore spot and grabbed Mo Kang's collar.
"Shut up and hand over the blueprints, or I'll kill you."
Mo Kang laughed twice, "My mother is dead, do you think I'm still afraid of death?"
His mother probably heard the conversation between him and this man, and didn't want him to attack Mr. Mo, so she chose to commit suicide to prevent him from being controlled by others.
But now he has done something wrong to Mr. Mo, and his mother is dead, so this person thought he would still be afraid.
"I'll say it again, bring out the blueprints."
The man spoke in a cold tone and raised his hand to grab Mo Kang's neck.
Mo Kang spat in the man's face, "This is Mr. Mo's hard work, you're dreaming."
"You," the man cursed angrily with Qiang Guohua, pinching Mo Kang's neck and pushing him against the wall, "You Tianqi people have a saying that if you don't accept a toast, you will have to drink a forfeit. I will grant your wish."
