Chapter 442 This person can also be handed directly to the government office
Mo Jiuye looked calm on the surface, but he was actually nervous inside.
From Xue Fan's narration, it turned out that his purpose of coming to the northwest was indeed because of the Mohist School, which was almost completely different from what he had guessed.
What he is more worried about now is that before the Mohist School is fully prepared to deal with foreign enemies, Xue Fan has already found out some news about the Mohist School.
Once this news reaches the capital and Emperor Shunwu knows it, there is no guarantee that he will not do something detrimental to the Mohist school.
Xue Fan shook his head vigorously. "After I arrived in the Northwest, I was busy with the opening of Jingxianlou. I just found some time and wanted to use Boss Tang's murder case to force you to show up. You found me before the matter was resolved. I can only accept my bad luck."
What he said was absolutely true.
Xue Fan has always been self-righteous in doing things, and everyone in the capital knows that Mo Jiuye is the only man left in the Mo family.
He also knew that Mo Jiuye was very skilled in martial arts, and if they really met face to face, he would definitely not be his opponent.
Therefore, after arriving in the northwest, he did not send anyone to take action immediately, but instead opened Jingxianlou.
In this way, he and his men would have a place to stay, but the most important thing was for his real purpose of coming to the northwest.
At the same time, he also hoped that Mo Jiuye would not think so many twists and turns and think that he was just doing business.
After all, Jingxianlou has branches all over the country, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to open one in the northwest.
Unexpectedly, he underestimated Mo Jiuye's intelligence, thinking that he was just a warrior and would not have so many thoughts.
He never expected that after putting in so much effort, he would be discovered so quickly.
Not only that, I'm afraid I'll lose my life here.
The more Xue Fan thought about it, the more he regretted it. He shouldn't have taken on this job just to show off in front of the Queen.
If Mo Jiuye knew what he was thinking, he would probably laugh for a while.
Is there no one left in the Xue family? They actually sent such a brainless and self-righteous person to the northwest to deal with the Mo family.
You really treat him as a fool...
But this is better than the Xue family sending a smart person here. If that were the case, the first thing they would do when they get here would be to send someone to investigate the situation of the Mo family.
Xue Fan thought he was a smart guy, and he used Chen Wu and Wang Lin to set a trap.
Little do you know that this little trick can't stand up to scrutiny.
Xue Fan was afraid that Mo Jiuye would sprinkle that terrible powder on his wound again, so he quickly assured him, "I haven't gained anything here, and it's impossible for me to send any news to the capital. You must believe me."
As he spoke, he stared at Mo Jiuye's hand, afraid that if something went wrong, he would open the small paper bag...
Seeing this, Mo Jiuye deliberately waved the small paper bag in front of him.
"Besides sending you to the northwest, what other plans does the Xue family have?"
"No, I came to the northwest just to find out the whereabouts of King Heng from you. I have no other purpose." Xue Fan spoke very quickly, fearing that if he spoke slowly, Mo Jiuye would make another move.
All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked. As for the fact that Xue Fan sent people to capture Wang Lin's family and used them as a threat, that was something that Meng Huaining, as an official, should be concerned about. He was too lazy to waste any more words with him.
Mo Jiuye looked at Mo Chuhan: "Eighth brother, this person can also be handed over directly to the government office."
Mo Chuhan nodded: "I understand."
Although he was not as thoughtful as his other brothers, he also understood one thing.
That is, even if Xue Fan was handed over to the government office for handling, it would be impossible for him to leave alive.
Because he knew a lot, if it weren't for the needs of the case for my ninth brother, I'm afraid he would have been killed here.
Dealing with Xue Fan was not a difficult task for Mo Chuhan. As long as Meng Huaining had a final decision on the case, Xue Fan would be killed.
Wang Lin's mother went to Yuncheng to report to the authorities, and it took some time for the police to arrive in the provincial capital to arrest him.
It was impossible for the Mo brothers to leave here before the government officials arrived, so Mo Jiuye took advantage of this time to search the two Jingxianlou restaurants carefully.
Therefore, he got a temporary reassurance.
When he searched Xue Fan's room, he found several letters between him and the capital in the drawer of the desk.
The person he corresponded with was his father Xue Jinchuan, and the content was all related to capturing Mo Jiuye.
Xue Jinchuan meant that after Xue Fan arrived in the northwest, he should first send someone to investigate the specific situation of the Mo family, and then formulate a plan to capture Mo Jiuye.
Also, Xue Jinchuan urged Xue Fan to report to him what he had learned in the northwest.
Moreover, judging from the tone of Xue Jinchuan's letter, he was not very confident in his son and would always remind him to listen to himself and not act self-righteously.
From this we can see that Xue Fan did not investigate according to Xue Jinchuan's instructions, but according to his own ideas.
He must have been eager to make a contribution, and thought he had come up with a good plan to use Tang Mingrui to hire someone to kill someone and cut off the Mo family's income. However, he didn't know that this method was simply ridiculous in Mo Jiuye's eyes.
The Xue family was truly incredible, sending such a brainless person to do the job, and not only did they fail, but their intentions were exposed so quickly...
It was not known whether Wang Lin’s mother was too slow or Meng Huaining was delayed by other matters, but when the officers from Yuncheng County Government rushed over to arrest him, it was already approaching evening.
Jingxianlou suddenly performed the empty city plan, which became the talk of the people in the state for an afternoon.
The common people were discussing that Jingxianlou and the two restaurants had closed down almost at the same time due to lack of business. This was coincidentally heard by a legal advisor from the prefectural government who was passing by.
The lawyer reported the matter to the prefect.
The prefect had also heard that Jingxianlou had a powerful backer.
How can a business with the support of a powerful country be closed just like that?
Although Xue Fan had no connection with the prefect when he opened Jingxianlou in the northwest, the prefect was worried that Jingxianlou might encounter something bad on his territory and indirectly offend its backers. For this reason, after hearing about this, he specially brought a few people to check it out.
This was a good thing, as he happened to meet Meng Huaining, who had personally led the officers here to arrest people.
The prefect is Meng Huaining's immediate superior, so Meng Huaining naturally has to explain the purpose of this trip in detail.
After all, he was in charge of trying this case, which was an official document issued by the prefect. Even if he didn't say it now, he would have to explain everything in detail when the case was closed.
The prefect just thought that it was better to have less trouble than more, and considering that Tang Mingrui was from Yuncheng, he handed the case over to Meng Huaining.
Unexpectedly, this matter was actually related to Jingxianlou.
At this time, the prefect was extremely glad that he had evaded responsibility and thrown the case to Meng Huaining. If the evidence was conclusive, the people from Jingxianlou would be convicted, which would indirectly offend the big man behind them.
