Chapter 82 She Asks for Money

Ouyang Cong was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Miss Mo, I wonder what this is?"

Mo Yunzhu took out a long dagger and asked, "Do you know this one?"

Ouyang Cong was already terrified. This dagger belonged to Shorty Zhang, so he recognized it. The black pipe might also belong to those two guys.

But how did Mo Yunzhu know that she hired those two guys? Didn't they say that they would never tell who their employers were?

"I have never seen this black pipe and dagger before..." After all, Ouyang Congbi was a man who had seen the world, and there was no expression on his face.

But often, when there is no expression, it means that there is something wrong.

"Really? You've never seen it?" Mo Yunzhu laughed. "The tall one is dead, but the short one is alive. He confessed everything."

"What do you mean tall or short? Miss Mo, I don't know what you are talking about." Ouyang Cong showed some dissatisfaction.

"You really don't know? Then let me explain it in detail and help the young master recall it." Mo Yunzhu stood up and walked around the room.

"That night, on my way home, I encountered two assassins. I almost lost my life. Fortunately, I still have friends like Mo Yunzhu. Not only did I escape unscathed, but the two assassins, one dead and one injured, were captured alive and the short man confessed the truth. You, Ouyang Cong, are the employer who hired them." Mo Yunzhu smiled, "Do you understand?"

"Ms. Mo, you can't say that. Just because he says I'm the employer, I'm the employer, right? Miss Mo and I have no grudges against each other, right? Why would I hire someone to kill you?"

"She's not dead, so we can confront her. Of course, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Someone has already found out that you love Gao Pianran and were seduced by her. It just so happens that Gao Pianran and I have some unpleasantness. But I didn't expect her to be so vicious and actually want to kill me."

Ouyang Cong's expression changed slightly, but he still shook his head and said, "Ms. Mo, it's not unusual for Miss Gao and I to know each other, but I don't have a crush on her. It's just that she likes to eat seafood, and we got to know each other after coming here a few more times."

"So, Master Ouyang, you won't admit it?" Mo Yunzhu asked.

"Miss Mo, how can you expect me to admit to a false charge?" Ouyang Cong's face was filled with anger. "Miss, I treated you to a meal out of kindness, but in return I was accused of a false charge?"

"Hehehe." Mo Yunzhu laughed, and then said, "Master Ouyang, do you know what this is?"

She picked up the black tube.

Ouyang Cong was a little nervous, but he really didn't know what this thing was. Could it be poison?

But the poison had nothing to do with him. The transaction between him and the two men was just a money transaction. As long as he didn't admit it, the guys couldn't blame him even if they wanted to kill him.

Mo Yunzhu had thought that the black tube was poison, so she did not open it at first. It was only after the Empress Dowager had dealt with the matter that she took it out to look at it last night.

After opening it carefully, she found that there was no medicine inside, but a note.

When Ouyang Cong saw that the piece of paper turned out to be the account paper of Haiguan Building, his expression changed instantly.

"What is this?" Ouyang Cong felt a little uneasy, but remained calm.

Mo Yunzhu opened the note and muttered: "Kill Mo Yunzhu, 100,000 taels of silver. If my employer Ouyang Cong is silenced, a deposit of 10,000 taels is hidden under the flower stand on the left side of Haiguan Building as evidence!"

Ouyang Cong's face suddenly changed. He immediately took the note and saw that it was indeed written like this. He never thought that the two guys were aware of the risks.

Because he did have a plan to kill people and silence them if he succeeded.

"This, this is slander!"

"Whether it's slander or not, you can go dig for silver right away. If what's written on the paper is true, the Ministry of Justice will have to intervene." Mo Yunzhu sneered, "I, Mo Yunzhu, am not someone who can be bullied by anyone."

Ouyang Cong's expression turned really ugly at this moment. Thinking that the prince had fallen into trouble because of Mo Yunzhu, if this matter was really exposed, he would be really finished.

Now he regretted helping Gao Pianran do this. Although she didn't say it explicitly, between the lines she was crying that Mo Yunzhu had bullied her. If someone helped her to get revenge, she would be willing to do anything. Wasn't this fooling him?

He was also getting carried away. After all, he had admired Gao Pianran for more than ten years. Seeing his beloved woman suffering so much, he thought that once he succeeded, Gao Pianran would be willing to do anything for him. Wouldn't that mean she was willing to marry him? He had money, so he could do it without anyone noticing.

He has done this kind of thing many times, he is just doing it again.

Knowing that Mo Yunzhu had guards around her, he specially looked for an expert and paid a high price, but he did not expect to fail.

He had been feeling uneasy these past few days. The fact that both of them hadn't returned meant that something had gone wrong. But when he thought about the perfect opportunity and the fact that they couldn't find him, he felt relieved.

But today someone came to tell him that Prince Lan and Mo Yunzhu came to Haiguanlou for dinner, and he felt something was wrong.

"Why, you still don't want to admit it? Why don't we go down and dig for silver together? They won't use 12,000 taels of silver to slander you, will they?"

Ouyang Cong's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat and he wanted to make some excuses.

"Master Ouyang, I am not here to kill you today. You just helped someone do this. I am looking for the mastermind. Don't be ungrateful. If this matter is reported to the emperor, do you think the emperor will believe me or you?"

Mo Yunzhu said coldly.

Ouyang Cong was sweating profusely. He had just heard yesterday that the emperor seemed to have taken a fancy to Mo Yunzhu. If Mo Yunzhu really entered the palace, this matter would be very difficult to handle.

"Ouyang Cong, Miss Mo is not dead, and neither is the dwarf. This note and the silver are ironclad evidence. When you are brought before the Emperor, you will not be able to escape the charge of murdering the children of court officials. Even if your Ouyang family is protected by the emperor's father-in-law and uncle, so what? The general's mansion is not a pushover. Besides, although I am not favored, I am still a prince after all. This matter will not end. How can I allow you to bully my princess?"

Jun Huolan spoke, and his words were so sinister that Ouyang Cong had to look at him.

At this moment, there was a sharpness in Prince Lan's eyes, which seemed a little different from the cripple that people outside said he was.

"Master Ouyang, do you want to settle this privately or report it to the authorities?" Mo Yunzhu asked with a smile.

Ouyang Cong finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "How can we settle this privately?"

Mo Yunzhu took the note back from his hand, then walked to the incense burner, turned on the stove and started burning it.

"You know that Prince Lan has just returned. He has no power, no influence, and no money. As Prince Lan's fiancée, I don't want to live a hard life in the future, so Young Master Ouyang has to give me some money."

Ouyang Cong was stunned. He was too surprised. He didn't expect that she actually wanted money?
