Chapter 224 I really don't understand
When Wu Zheng saw Mo Zhinian, Mo Zhinian was leaning halfway on the couch, and the maid was feeding the rock sugar bird's nest soup.
At this time, Mo Zhinian's face had already recovered most of the time and looked a little pale, which means that the "illness" had almost cured.
Of course, Mo Zhongnian did not vomit blood because of illness, but was so angry that his son vomited blood.
After a few days of recuperation, there is naturally no big problem.
But Mo Zhong sent someone to communicate to Wu Zheng in the name of being seriously ill, just to make Wu Zheng feel grateful, thus laying the groundwork for his son to be pardoned.
But I didn't know that Wu Zheng would come back suddenly for his letter.
Wu Zheng's arrival shocked Mo Zhinian. He struggled to get up from the couch, but Wu Zheng took the lead and pressed on the couch.
"The prince came to the humble house, but I was unable to greet him... It's really rude."
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "If you don't know, you will be guilty... The Mo family's concierge can't stop the orphan."
These words made Mo Zhinian feel full of words, and he could listen to them on both sides.
But Mo Zhinian could only listen in a straightforward way, and he could only listen in a serious way, "The prince returned to Hangzhou Prefecture... There was no sound of wind... The prince could tell the chaos in the city now...!"
Wu Zheng waved his hand casually and said, "It's all over... to be precise, it's over!"
Mo Zhinian was shocked. The chaos in the city was just like this... has it gone?
Wu Zheng said calmly, "Some sluts, using temptation, coercion and other means to cause trouble. Without real interests, rebellion will never be done... It will disperse as soon as the sky is dawn."
Mo Zhengnian stared at Wu Zheng's face in a daze, but his heart was stormy. He realized that perhaps the King of Wu knew everything that happened in Hangzhou, not only knew it, but also knew it... How cunning it is!
"Dare you ask the prince... King Lu and others now..."
"Zhu Yihai has been controlled by his or her own personal guards, Zheng Sen was captured alive, and the straitors in the city are being cleaned up... Mr. Mo just cares about recuperation. Mr. Mu comes back this time, not for anything else, just to visit Mr. Mo's condition." Wu Zheng seemed to be talking about a rebellion case far away in the sky.
But the calmness of his tone made Mo obsessed even more shocked.
He struggled to get up, but Wu Zheng reached out to stop him.
But this time, Mo Zhongnian was extremely firm. He staggered down, knelt in front of Wu Zheng tremblingly, and lay on the ground without saying a word.
Wu Zheng was surprised that it was rare for an elderly man of this age to bend down to such an extent.
"What does Mo Lao mean?" Wu Zheng never lacks the ability to ask questions knowingly, and he is becoming more and more familiar with it.
"I am guilty... the Mo family is guilty!"
"oh?"
A simple word "Oh" made Mo Zhinian tremble all over, which means that the King of Wu already knew something, and even knew everything.
Mo Zhinian slowly stood up, and tears filled his eyes, "I am betrayed the prince... My illness is not that serious... I actually hope that the prince will come back from the front line... I deserve to die!"
But Wu Zheng did not go to support him, but found a chair and sat down slowly.
It’s not that Wu Zheng is not polite to an elderly man, but that Mo Zhongnian didn’t say what Wu Zheng wanted to hear.
This is a kind of betrayal!
Wu Zheng was silent, and both of them were silent.
After a long time, Mo Zhengnian couldn't resist it. He cried in tears and said, "Prince forgives his crime, I am incompetent in my son... Mo Chenbo colluded with foreign enemies and conspired to rebel... All of them are my fault!"
Wu Zheng was still silent.
"... He also... secretly colluded with King Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou and others, and dismissed the old man's position in the Chamber of Commerce, causing the Chamber of Commerce to be controlled by the North Chamber of Commerce..."
Wu Zheng was still silent.
"... What's even more hateful is..." Mo Jie Nian's forehead was sweating profusely, "This rebel also intercepted a large number of firearms transported to the Jiangbei battlefield by the military workshop... resulting in the battlefield ahead... not being able to supply!"
Wu Zheng finally spoke, "He is naturally responsible for what Mo Chenbo committed. Yu Mo Lao and Yu Mo family are not involved... I just can't figure it out... Beishang invested in the Chamber of Commerce until the shares exceeded Nanshang. Why did Mo not report it in time? This is one of the first. Secondly, the joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce dismissed Mo Lao Lao, why did Mo Lao not fight back... Mo Lao is one of the founders of the Chamber of Commerce. With Mo Lao's cunning and capable, he is not as good as his influence on the Chamber of Commerce and the North Shang, and the shares that are less than half a century old, he can actually make Mo Lao bow down and admit defeat... I really can't figure it out!"
Mo Zheng was sweating profusely. He stared at Wu Zheng in a daze. He realized that Wu Zheng was definitely not here to visit his condition today, but to seek his life, not only his life, but also the life of the Mo family!
This understanding made Mo Zhongnian collapse softly.
Wu Zheng looked at it calmly, neither angry nor sympathized, but just looked at Mo Zhongnian quietly.
After a long time, Mo Zhinian gradually breathed evenly and he got up from the ground.
Indeed, by this time, kneeling down can no longer solve any problem.
Mo Zhongnian slowly sat back on the couch, and then drank the bird's nest soup that had turned cold at this time to quench his thirst.
Then I took a deep breath, "The prince is already a father... I think I should know that my parents are pitiful in the world... Although my son has committed this sin of rebellion, the root cause is still there is a reason..."
Speaking of this, Mo Zhinian sighed: "If I were still the president of the Chamber of Commerce... Then how could I turn a blind eye to the mistakes of the rebellious son... The things he committed were too big, so big that I could no longer pretend to be ignored... Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu and others wanted to seize the position of the president, which was just right for me... The Chamber of Commerce was in their hands, so everything that happened had nothing to do with the old companion, and the Mo family had nothing to do... The rebellious son did not make a master's plan and became a follower!"
Mo Zhinian's expression had completely recovered at this time. After all, the biggest thing was said, there was nothing to be taboo.
"As for the fact that I did not report to the prince in time the changes in the Chamber of Commerce's equity..." Mo Zhinian began to face Wu Zheng's eyes, "The reason is very simple. I need silver, the general's mansion needs silver, and the newly recruited army needs silver... The prince also needs silver!"
"...If I report this matter to the prince in time, the prince will definitely order the suspension of the Beishang business and continue to invest, then the money needed by the General's Mansion will be cut off... The officials cannot pay their salaries, the military workshop has no raw materials, Jiangnan Academy, and military academy cannot study... The soldiers in front may not even be able to eat...!"
"... The prince, under the rule of the General's Mansion, earned more than 12 million taels last year, but the treasury had reached its bottom until early April, but the war still continued, recruiting new troops, equiping the army, and buying military rations from foreign merchants at high prices, but the taxes were not as good as the same period last year... The hero went to the front line, the Weaver Girl was making trouble, and the merchants were waiting and watching, especially the foreign merchants, and they were delaying the business tax they should have paid... Prince, I can only hide it and not report it... Drinking the dove to quench thirst is a helpless move!"
