Chapter 57: Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!
"As a subject, you must not only defend your country, but also protect your family. My wife was abducted and taken to a brothel. Shouldn't I be here?" Zhou Yan met Mo Jin's gaze head-on. Their eyes were like a head-on collision between two mountains. He raised his chin slightly, raised his neck stiffly, and held Su Luo's hand again.
Mo Jin's eyes suddenly turned dark, and boundless majesty spread out, like layers of mountains pressing down, making everyone present inexplicably nervous.
Zhou Yan was also beginning to feel overwhelmed, but he still held his neck erect and his head high, his eyes filled with defiance and defiance. He didn't even know why, but he raised his hand and waved it in front of Mo Jin, his fingers interlocked with Su Luo's. "I did nothing wrong in saving my wife. Besides, I had already arranged everything by the time I arrived, so there was nothing wrong."
It's really eye-catching.
Mo Jin sneered and laughed, murderous intent in his eyes. Zhou Yan's face turned pale, but he was holding on. Su Luo could clearly feel cold sweat on Zhou Yan's palms.
I'm going crazy. I'm really going crazy.
Su Luo was so scared. Seeing Mo Jin sneering like that, she trembled unconsciously and used great strength to shake off Zhou Yan's hand, but Zhou Yan quickly held his hand again. Su Luo frowned and looked back at Zhou Yan, and shook him off desperately!
"Luo'er, you..." Zhou Yan's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. But there was no disappointment, because in his eyes, Su Luo loved him deeply.
The two of them held hands and then let go, let go and held each other again, and finally let go again.
Seeing this, several people were slightly surprised.
Wen Zixi seemed not to have expected Su Luo to be like this. In his memory, Su Luo and Zhou Yan were engaged at a young age, childhood sweethearts, and had a deep relationship. The Marquis' Mansion did not break the engagement even when the General's Mansion was in the most danger, so the two should have a very good relationship.
But he clearly saw that Su Luo tried to shake off Zhou Yan's hand several times, but Zhou Yan held it tightly. Is there a conflict between the two?
Wen Zixi frowned, with a hint of doubt and worry between his brows.
But unlike him, Mo Jin was inexplicably excited. He stared at Zhou Yan coldly and suddenly laughed.
Chen Song came over and whispered something into Mo Jin's ear.
Mo Jin said in a cold voice, "If you don't allow Kuang Li to stay, you will be fined three months' salary."
Zhou Yan's face turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect Mo Jin to actually check if he had left his post...
He licked the corner of his dry mouth and said in a low voice: "Yes."
soon……
Hui'an hurried over and whispered in her ear, "Oh no! Something's happened to my cousin."
"What? How could Jiaojiao get into trouble?" Zhou Yan's brows knitted together. Just as Su Luo got into trouble, Jiaojiao got into trouble again. She couldn't keep up with both. He asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"A group of people from the Dali Temple and the Regent's Shaluo Army surrounded the silver shop in Pingmingfang, and our cousin happened to be among them." Hui An said.
If Mo Jin himself had not been here, Zhou Yan would almost suspect that Mo Jin was targeting him.
How come his wife and all the women are closely connected with the Regent?
Zhou Yan's eyes were complicated as he glanced at Mo Jin quietly. When Mo Jin looked over, he turned away and lowered his head, not meeting his gaze. Instead, he said to Su Luo, "Luo'er, something happened to my sister. I need to go to Pingmingfang. Do you want to come with me, or...?"
"I won't cause any more trouble." Su Luo still wanted to save Aunt Dan.
The next moment, Yun Ran hurried over and whispered, "Madam Dan said she was sent back from the slave market. Every time she met a buyer, she would shout that she was the concubine of Marquis Jing'an and that anyone who dared to buy her would be killed. The people in the market were unsure and were hesitant. They didn't dare to buy this hot potato and returned it to the silver shop."
Su Luo curled her lips and bowed to Wen Zixi and Mo Jin: "I have an elder from the Marquis' Mansion who is also trapped in the silver shop. I have to leave first."
Chen Song quickly glanced at Mo Jin's face and said, "Your Highness, as you ordered, our men have sealed off the entire silver shop, including the basement, and have also taken control of Yihong Courtyard and Jingchun Courtyard. Would you like to go to the silver shop? This matter is serious, involving the Prime Minister's niece and a case of human trafficking. I'm afraid there is collusion between officials and businessmen, and I can't make a decision..."
Mo Jin nodded reluctantly.
Chen Song's lips curled up slightly.
Now that things have been said, naturally, the Dali Temple Secretary will also speak. After all, the Dali Temple has been responsible for investigating the human trafficking in the capital.
At first, there were reports of daughters going missing in several cities near the capital, and the investigations were fruitless. Later, the local government reported these cases to the capital. The Jingzhao Yin tried to handle them for half a year without success. The families of the missing girls were furious and reported the case to the Sanfasi, which naturally transferred the case to the Dali Temple for handling.
In addition to being the Grand Tutor, Wen Zixi also temporarily served as the Minister of the Dali Temple.
No matter what, Wen Zixi had to go through this case, otherwise, Mo Jin would easily punish him.
From ancient times to the present, human trafficking has always been the most profitable industry no matter where it is.
Su Luo came to Jingchunyuan today because she was abducted and sold, so naturally, she didn't have a carriage. However, in the eyes of the world, she had nothing to do with the Regent, so...
"Master, you once taught my brother. Could you please take me back to the silver shop? You know, I don't have a carriage, and this place is too far from Pingmingfang." Su Luo's voice was soft and normal, and her voice was sweet and crisp, so even what she said was very pleasant to listen to.
Wen Zixi's handsome face had a refreshing smile on it as he nodded and said, "Of course."
Mo Jin seemed to have a lot of depression in his chest. He was probably sick, and his mood swings had been a little more extreme than before recently.
He raised his palm and subconsciously touched his chest to breathe more smoothly.
Su Luo and Wen Zixi walked out of the brothel side by side. When she was about to go down the stairs, she seemed to trip on the steps. Wen Zixi quickly grabbed her wrist and steady her body.
Wen Zixi's warm palm pressed against Su Luo's wrist through her sleeve. Su Luo didn't feel anything, but Wen Zixi felt as if he had been burned. He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."
Su Luo raised her sleeve to cover her lips and chuckled: "Is this the only sentence Master can say?"
"Um?"
"When the teacher blocked the vase for me before, he also said it was offensive." Then Su Luo subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, where there was a small and fragile life. She almost tripped just now because she was not careful when walking.
But Mo Jin, who was staring at the backs of the two, felt that Su Luo did it on purpose.
She wanted to make him jealous by having contact with other men.
Jealous? Haha! Ridiculous! Mo Jin would be jealous? Jealous of a toy in his hand?
It's just a thing to kill time, what's so delicious about it?
Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! Mo Jin put his hands on his hips and kicked the flower bed.
The already old flower bed cracked suddenly, and with a "crack", it broke into pieces and the soil fell to the ground.
Hearing the movement behind her, Su Luo turned around: "?"
Mo Jin is always inexplicable, no wonder his last name is Mo.
Wen Zixi clenched his fist and coughed softly. Even his cough was so pleasant. He said, "The Regent is strange and cold. Miss Su should stay a little away from him."
