The case of trafficking women was finally solved. Although the organizer behind the scene has not been found, Long Moxun has already invited people from the Chang family to come over. I believe that with the help of people from the Chang family, it will only take a day or two for Xing Dong to be arrested.
However, Long Moxun did not take all the credit for this case on himself. In fact, when reporting the matter to the emperor, Long Moxun emphasized the key role played by Luo Xuening in solving this case.
"The fourth young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is such a remarkable woman who is not afraid of danger. I have never heard of her reputation."
There is a reason why Luo Xuening is not well-known.
Emperor Nan Shao frowned, looking thoughtful. He was a little skeptical about Long Moxun's brilliant and magical portrayal of Luo Xue Ning.
How could such a talented person not have any reputation in the capital at the age of fifteen?
"That's because Father has always only focused on the daughters of the rich and powerful, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to other people."
Long Moxun's expression remained unchanged, but he did not hesitate to expose Emperor Nan Shao's pretense, with a hint of disdain in his words.
Do you think he doesn't know what the Emperor Nan Shao has been busy doing recently? He is busy selecting concubines for himself, trying to make up for himself in this way. Your Majesty, do you think the debt you owe is too light?
Queen Nan Shao choked, feeling embarrassed as if she had been seen through, and said stiffly: "Those daughters of the rich and powerful naturally have insights and talents that others do not possess."
Emperor Nan Shao stroked his beard, his face slightly dissatisfied, and turned to look at Long Moxun, his shrewd eyes flashing with a bit of cunning: "Since the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has contributed to the breaking of this case, I should naturally reward her, but, in your opinion, what kind of reward should I give her?"
Emperor Nan Shao had never seen Long Moxun praise a woman so much in front of him, he felt vaguely that Long Moxun might have other intentions towards Luo Xue Ning, this Luo Xue Ning was just a humble concubine, it would be fine to marry her as a concubine, but what Emperor Nan Shao was afraid of was that if Long Moxun really had intentions, he would not care about his status.
After all, his son has always been stubborn, and when he gets rebellious, he can make a emperor like him so angry that he vomits blood.
Long Moxun glanced at the shrewd emperor with a calm expression on his face and no trace of transgression in his eyes, as if he was just talking to a stranger.
"This woman is courageous, capable, intelligent and resourceful, which is beyond the reach of ordinary women. I think that she not only solved the case of trafficking women, but more importantly, she inadvertently helped us recover the batch of hidden weapons."
"This matter is known to all the officials in the court, and she is the niece of the prime minister. This matter, rewarding the fourth lady of the prime minister's mansion, will naturally make everyone praise the emperor's merits. More importantly, it will terrify those behind the scenes. Through this incident, it will also be a big blow to the organization behind the scenes. If they knew that their organization could be destroyed by a woman, they would doubt the ability of their organization. For us, this is also an opportunity to thwart the enemy's arrogance."
Every word that Long Moxun said hit directly into the heart of Emperor Nan Shao. Emperor Nan Shao wanted to be a benevolent and righteous emperor, so Long Moxun gave him a reason. As for the batch of hidden weapons, it was those weapons that posed a deep threat to Emperor Nan Shao.
Long Moxun first understood his father. No matter how kind he appeared, he would not allow anyone to rebel under his nose. As long as there was even the slightest sign of rebellion, he would kill them all.
After hearing what Long Moxun said, Emperor Nan Shao couldn't help but nodded. Although Long Moxun has always been rebellious, he always has his own unique insights in terms of political views.
Long Moxun glanced at Emperor Nan Shao and saw a shrewd calculation in his eyes. He understood that Emperor Nan Shao had agreed with his opinion in the end.
Then he might as well go a step further: "Or, let's make Luo Xuening the county lord."
"What?"
Emperor Nan Shao couldn't help but be surprised, is the title of county lord so easy to give?
"She has made a contribution." With these three words, Long Moxun successfully blocked Emperor Nan Shao's rebuttal.
"Well, since you have made a contribution, you deserve a reward."
This was considered as an agreement. Long Moxun blinked his eyes and thought that Luo Xuening would be very happy with the credit he asked for her.
Thinking of Luo Xuening's silly and cute look, and also thinking that her greedy and money-obsessed look was actually somewhat cute, a touch of warmth emerged in Long Moxun's indifferent expression.
The reason why he insisted on appointing Luo Xuening as the county lord was actually because he had selfish motives.
Because Long Moxun found that his feelings for Luo Xue Ning seemed to be getting more and more difficult to control. That day, Luo Xue Ning lying in his arms, sleeping soundly, made Long Moxun fascinated. He even wanted to let Luo Xue Ning sleep in his palace. Wouldn't she sleep more soundly there?
However, Luo Xuening's identity is too humble after all, and she can be easily controlled by others. Therefore, this time, Long Moxun did it not only for his own selfish reasons, but also for the trust of Prime Minister Luo.
Before this, Prime Minister Luo had asked him to find a good way out for Luo Xuening.
The only good way out for a lady from a noble family is to marry into a wealthy family. But now, how could the jealous and crazy first lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion be willing to let Luo Xuening marry into a wealthy family?
Therefore, Luo Xue Ning had to find her own way out. Long Moxun and Prime Minister Luo saw this clearly. As for Luo Xue Ning herself, she had never thought about getting married. Naturally, she could not understand the painstaking efforts of Lord Jing Wang. However, it was definitely a good thing to be rewarded.
Emperor Nan Shao didn't care. How much reward to give Luo Xuening was not something he could decide. What he cared about now was the batch of weapons.
"Have you found the person behind that batch of weapons?" Emperor Nan Shao wanted to give Long Mo Xun a chance.
However, Long Moxun would not think that Emperor Nan Shao trusted him by entrusting him with such an important matter for investigation. It was just because Emperor Nan Shao did not trust him very much.
Emperor Nan Shao did feel guilty towards him, but compared to his great cause of ruling the country, this guilt was ultimately too light.
"Yes, you are right. Now that you are injured, you should take good care of yourself in the mansion."
Emperor Nan Shao did not show it on his face, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Long Mo Xun's attitude, so naturally he showed concern for him in his words.
Long Moxun smiled faintly, but he was sarcastic in his heart. Isn't it too late to remember that he was injured at this time?
However, Long Moxun was not seriously injured, at least not as seriously as Emperor Nan Shao thought.
"After you entered the mountains, someone ambushed you. Did you find out who they were?"
"Not yet. I have been recuperating these days and have not sent anyone to check. However, I went into the mountains alone, and even my own guards did not know where I went."
Long Moxun's words were clear enough. Even the secret guards didn't know his whereabouts. That only meant someone was monitoring him. Moreover, who else in the capital could have the ability to monitor Prince Jing, except for a few princes?
The anger in Emperor Nan Shao's eyes flashed, but it turned into a deep word: "They are really getting bolder and bolder."
"It's just thanks to my father."
Long Moxunsi was not afraid of Emperor Nan Shao's anger at all. He was clearly saying in a disguised way that Emperor Nan Shao was too weak, which was why he allowed those ministers to bully him, the prince.
Emperor Nan Shao almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and looked at Long Moxun with gloomy eyes. Was his son here to collect a debt?
How come every word can touch my heart?
"Father will make the decision for you on this matter."
"No need for that. I have always been self-reliant and will take my revenge myself."
“…”
Emperor Nan Shao swallowed a mouthful of blood. Long Moxun was complaining about him again for not protecting him well.
Emperor Nan Shao really felt that he was wronged enough. He resisted the urge to throw Long Mo Xun back to the furnace to be remade. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you need anything, tell me, Father."
"Thank you."
These two words made Emperor Nan Shao so angry that his veins bulged. He said in a stiff tone, "There is no need to thank me between you and me, father and son."
"They are both father and son, and monarch and subject."
Emperor Nan Shao: "......" Long Mo Xun, you can go away now.
The furious Emperor Nan Shao had no choice but to vent his anger on the master of the organization behind the scenes: "Someone, come and investigate for me."
