"Hey, why don't you eat? What are you thinking about? You must have been beaten stupid when you were a child." Fengming suddenly interrupted Fuling's memories and asked her to eat.
Fuling reached out and took a piece of pear blossom cake, and said: "I didn't mean to not come yesterday, it's just that I saw Mo Dong." If she hadn't said it, it would have been shocking. Fuling's words immediately brought the originally lively atmosphere in the room to a standstill. Fengming stopped his hand that was about to take another piece of cake and looked at Fuling in surprise.
Fuling understood what she didn't say, but she took a bite of the pear blossom cake first, sorted out her words before continuing.
"I left home at noon yesterday. My men had already prepared a plan for the plan we discussed earlier. I thought I'd go to Fangzheng's office on North Street to get one and bring it to the palace for your discussion. Then I remembered that you liked the chestnut pastries on South Street, so I stopped by. That's where I met Mo Dong."
"Wait, South Street, I remember the back door of Wuwei General's Mansion is at the corner of South Street, right?" Feng Ming interrupted, this point made her pay attention.
Fuling nodded in confirmation: "Yes, the back door of the Wuwei General's Mansion is located in a hidden alley at the corner of South Street, and Mo Dong went into that alley. When I chased him, he disappeared. I was alone at the time and it was inconvenient for me to chase him, so I hurried back to call for help, but I was one step too late. I searched for a whole day but there was no sign of Mo Dong or any news." Fuling's tone was a little annoyed.
"Well, actually, it's not completely fruitless. Feng Xiyun said before that he heard that Mo Dong appeared in the capital, but after all, he hadn't seen him in person, so he couldn't be absolutely sure. But this time, you clearly saw Mo Dong, and he did appear in the capital."
As Fengming analyzed, his expression gradually became solemn.
This Mo Dong actually dared to appear in the capital openly. Who gave him the courage? There is no Fish Leong in Daqing.
Mo Dong is the most notorious flower thief in Daqing. He is handsome and has superb martial arts skills. If he could walk on the right path, he would have achieved great success. However, he used all his talents to harm women, and he only targeted women with clean family backgrounds and who were about to get married.
According to Daqing customs, all girls waiting to get married will go to the Baihua Niangniang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings the day before the wedding. The Baihua Niangniang is in charge of marriages, and the girls waiting to get married will go there with beautiful expectations for their future life and leave their best wishes.
Mo Dong targeted these women who were immersed in great expectations of happiness. He appeared at the temples of the Goddess of Flowers all over the country, and specifically picked out young ladies who looked like they had good family backgrounds and gave them a peach blossom. If the lady accepted his flower, he would go to her at night to destroy her innocence; if the lady did not accept his flower, he would not be angry at the time, but would appear at the wedding the next day, stop the sedan chair, snatch the bride away, and after a few days, the abducted bride would be found dead in the wilderness, and the coroner would find that the woman had been sexually assaulted before her death.
Initially, Mo Dong's evil deeds went undetected, partly because he was a vagrant criminal, and partly because initially he only broke into houses and raped women, not killed anyone.
Daqing is known for its open-mindedness. If you see someone you like, you can offer them a flower to show your appreciation. If you receive flowers from a stranger, as long as they are not shameless or obscene, the recipient will not feel offended and will instead feel happy to be appreciated.
Mo Dong was very handsome and he was never rejected when he gave flowers to women. Almost all the ladies accepted his flowers and had their innocence violated.
Even in the 21st century, girls who were raped rarely chose to call the police to expose their humiliation. This was also the case in Daqing. Therefore, the vast majority of girls who were assaulted by Mo Dong in the early days did not choose to report him to the police, which made Mo Dong even more unscrupulous.
