Originally, he didn't need to come in person to suppress the bandits, but Zhang Mazi didn't want to waste too much time, so he used beef to kill the chicken.
After a day, Mo Qi was impatient with the continued stalemate, so he gave orders.
"Search the village thoroughly and prepare to set it on fire!"
"yes!"
After a while, before the village could be burned, Licheng came to report urgently.
"General, something terrible has happened. Last night, the king accidentally stepped on empty air and fell down from the Moon Watching Tower. The king-the king is dead."
Mo Qi was shocked and kicked the messenger to the ground: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can you talk about such a thing? Where is the eldest son?"
The messenger struggled to get up, his eyes showing even more panic, and his voice was filled with tears: "Did something happen to the eldest master too?"
"What happened to the eldest son?"
"Yesterday afternoon, the eldest son went hunting, and was thrown off his horse and trampled to death by the horse's hooves. Now the second son is temporarily in charge of the city affairs."
"Ridiculous! Everyone, follow me to the city, and put aside the matter of suppressing the bandits for now!"
With such a sudden change in the city, Mo Qi had no choice but to give up suppressing the bandits and rushed into the city overnight. He rushed directly to Zhang Mazi's residence and found his eldest son Zhang Mian.
Mo Qi pushed open the door, and Zhang Mian felt a chill coming towards him. Mo Qi was wearing black clothes and his strong figure blocked the door tightly. Zhang Mian's hand holding the pen trembled, and fear flashed in his eyes.
Mo Qi looked up and down at Zhang Mian with a suspicious look, and clenched and unclenched his hand around the handle.
This man is a coward. It is impossible for him to kill his father and brother. Besides, the king only has this one son.
But this is too much of a coincidence.
"Where are the bodies of the king and the eldest son?"
Zhang Mian's teeth chattered: "Stop - stop in front of the hall..."
Mo Qi looked at him sharply, and glanced at his feet, where he saw a puddle of light yellow water.
Mo Qi cursed angrily: "Waste!"
The future ruler of Licheng is actually a scared loser!
Tu Yufan almost couldn't hold it in as he stood outside the window. The death of Zhang Mian's father and elder brother was actually somewhat related to Zhang Mian. Although Tu Yufan was the mastermind, Zhang Mian's cooperation was indispensable. It seemed that he was an ungrateful person, but he didn't expect him to be so timid.
The forces in Licheng are complicated. If Tu Yufan kills Zhang Mazi's entire family, it will probably trigger a power struggle among multiple forces. By then, Xu Guo and Nanfu will notice that there is civil strife here and will intervene, making the situation even more out of control. It would be better to just support Zhang Mian, the puppet, and then slowly insert their own people.
Mo Qi checked again and found out that the king got drunk and was playing with his concubine in the Wangyue Tower and accidentally fell down.
The king's health has always been taken care of by Doctor Mo, but now Doctor Mo is missing.
