"I'm afraid most of the industries in the capital belong to Miss Yang..."
Chen Yu thought about what he had heard and said with shock in his heart.
If Qi Yanggong's reputation and financial resources were surprising enough before, now they are really shocking.
You have to know what the definition of most of the capital is.
Mo Chen was also shocked: "Are you sure you heard it right?"
"Absolutely impossible. I couldn't have heard it wrong. I deliberately hid in the dark and listened for quite a while. After Miss Yang left, the shopkeeper sent someone to notify everyone and then left in person. I sent someone to follow him, so we should be able to find out his whereabouts soon."
really.
The guard came back soon after.
After confirming that the shopkeeper had gone to meet the big shopkeepers in the south and north of the city, Mo Chen finally believed what Chen Yu had heard. He felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He had thought that Qi Yanggong's financial resources were already astonishing, but he had not expected such a surprise.
Mo Chen thought of the plan Wen Shijie mentioned, and his heart suddenly warmed up.
Still, he was cautious.
Until... late at night.
Awakened by Chen Yu.
"What's wrong?" Mo Chen frowned.
"Your Highness, please go to the backyard and take a look." Chen Yu was obviously a little excited. Fearing that Mo Chen would be displeased, he hurriedly said, "Someone sent a lot of gold bars and silver, a lot..."
It’s really a lot.
Boxes upon boxes almost filled up the backyard of Prince Cheng’s mansion.
When Mo Chen saw it, he was also shocked. He subconsciously opened the box closest to him. It was full of gold bars. He flipped it down and found that it was also full of real gold bars.
Opened a few more.
There are almost gold bars, silver, jewelry, etc.
And boxes like this filled his backyard.
A quick glance shows there are at least hundreds of boxes. What a huge amount!
What could she do with this sum of money? Besides, it was just what Yang Zhao had spent an entire afternoon raising. If she used all the money Yang Gong had raised...
Thinking of this, even Mo Chen felt a huge shock in his heart.
"Who sent it?"
Mo Chen asked with a calm expression after scanning the boxes in the yard.
Chen Yu immediately brought an old man with half-white hair to Mo Chen and said, "Your Highness, this is from Manager Liu."
After Liu Guanshi bowed to Mo Chen, he said respectfully, "Your Highness, our young lady instructed us to deliver the collected money to Prince Cheng's mansion as soon as possible. However, since the amount is quite large, delivering it in the daytime would attract attention. So, we had to take advantage of the cover of night, avoiding the patrols, and have them carried in boxes from the alley. I beg your forgiveness for disturbing your rest."
The back door of Prince Cheng's Mansion happens to be connected to an alley, and it is also quite remote.
If it is delivered from the back door at night, it is unlikely that anyone will notice such action.
Before Mo Chen could speak, Manager Liu spoke again, "Your Highness, due to the rush, we can only collect this much. This is the account book. The young lady has instructed that if you are unable to see her too late, the account book should be handed over to you.
Manager Liu took out a booklet and presented it with both hands.
Mo Chen took it.
He unfolded the account and glanced at the total amount at the back. A glint flashed in his eyes, but his appearance remained as gentle as jade. "Thank you for your hard work. Tomorrow, I will hand this account book over to Miss Yang."
"Thank you, Your Highness. The people outside are still waiting, so I will take everyone away first." Manager Liu bowed and left.
"Your Highness, this Steward Liu is a very trusted and capable steward around Miss Yang. He served the previous Duke Yang of Qi and was the one who watched Miss Yang grow up. Last time, because the stepmother of the Marquis of Zhenbei attacked Steward Liu, Miss Yang almost crippled her stepmother's hand to stand up for him, and even sold and killed the wet nurse around her stepmother." Chen Yu had checked the people around Yang Zhao before.
Hearing this, Mo Chen glanced at the boxes all over the yard, and something in his heart seemed to finally be ignited.
"Chen Yu, isn't Princess Yu planning to attack the Marquis of Zhenbei? Let's go and help her."
Chen Yu immediately understood.
"yes."
…
The next day, as soon as Yang Zhao woke up, he heard a familiar voice: "Auntie!"
A sweet and soft little man happily jumped into her arms.
Yang Zhao took a closer look at the little person in his arms: "Xier?"
Xier's pair of grape-like eyes are much more lively than they were a few months ago, full of spirit and vitality.
It's like he's regained his true appearance as a five or six-year-old child.
She blinked and looked at Yang Zhao, her eyes full of longing and grievance: "Aunt, you don't keep your word."
Yang Zhao was puzzled.
I heard Dong Shuang beside me say with a smile: "The young lady always said that you promised her before that you would take her with you wherever you go. This time you went out without her, saying that you didn't keep your promise."
Yang Zhao burst out laughing.
However, at this moment, her eyes fell on Mo Chen who was standing outside the door: "May your highness be well."
Yang Zhao brought Xier to pay his respects to him.
Mo Chen explained, "The Marquis' Mansion has been sealed. I know you must be worried about your family, so I sent someone to secretly bring Miss Xier out. Don't worry, everything has been arranged so that no one will find out and cause any trouble."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yang Zhao thanked him gratefully.
Mo Chen's eyes were gentle: "No need to be so polite. By the way, this was sent by Manager Liu last night."
Mo Chen did not enter the house, but asked the maid to give the booklet to Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao took the booklet, flipped it open and took a look, then handed it to the maid: "Give it to the prince."
"Your Highness, it's not appropriate for me to show up right now. Since I've troubled you with this matter, I'll have to trouble you from now on. I just hope Your Highness can quickly release my father and brother."
"My father and brother devoted their lives to the country. They didn't deserve to end up like this!"
"rest assured."
Mo Chen promised Yang Zhao earnestly, "I will definitely find a way to clear the name of the Marquis of Zhenbei and will never let him suffer any unjust accusation. I submitted a memorial yesterday and will go to the palace to meet with my father shortly."
"I would like to thank the prince here."
Mo Chen was stunned. He had never heard her mention this self-proclaimed title before. Every time she called herself a minister, she was willing to let go of her "identity" now.
It seems that Wen Shijie's method is really useful!
Mo Chen's eyes flickered: "A Zhao, I told you that you never have to be polite with me."
Yang Zhao didn't respond.
Mo Chen didn't care. After all, this was Yang Zhao. If she acted like that with other women, he would lose his desire to conquer her.
After leaving, Mo Chen did enter the palace.
Moreover, he publicly spoke out for the injustice of the Marquis of Zhenbei just after the morning court session ended and when all officials had not yet dispersed.
"What's going on with Prince Cheng? Isn't he imprisoned in the Prince's Palace? Why is he suddenly here to plead for mercy with the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
