Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Destruction (3)_1

The Emperor’s word is golden and hard to change, besides, the three men indeed deceived the sovereign, to issue an immediate execution without implicating their relatives, is already a mercy from Emperor Huian. Among the thousands present, no one could accuse the emperor of being cruel or unkind.

However, just by rendering the decision for execution three days later, does it mean there’s no intention to pursue the mastermind behind the scenes? People speculated in their hearts, growing more certain that the mastermind was among those princes. Thinking thus, they couldn’t help but sympathize with Mo Qingze.

"This student deeply thanks The Emperor!" The pitied Mo Qingze, filled with gratitude, kowtowed deeply to Emperor Huian.

Whether or not to pursue the guilt of King Heng and the Lin Family was no longer within his influence; since it was a matter for the Imperial Family to resolve, he would let them handle it. After all, this time, neither King Heng nor the Lin Family would escape punishment easily, otherwise they couldn’t avoid the world’s censure.

Emperor Huian was extremely pleased with Mo Qingze’s tact, and as soon as he spoke, he awarded him a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, all antiques passed down for hundreds of years, priceless.

This gesture was not only an indication of the value placed on Mo Qingze but also a form of veiled consolation.

Mo Qingze was so grateful that he wept and kowtowed once more to express his thanks.

...

Leaving the palace gates with joy, the father and daughter of Mo Family arrived at the gambling house. In Mo Qingze’s stunned gaze, Mo Yan happily counted the thirty thousand taels of silver notes, and, upon confirming the amount, casually stuffed them into her sleeve and tossed them into Space.

Not until they returned to Liu Yang Village did Mo Qingze dare to believe that his obedient daughter would gamble in a gambling house, and even win thirty thousand taels of silver in one go. This huge shock kept his normally clear mind in a state of confusion.

However, this did not prevent him from sternly criticizing and instructing his daughter, aiming to make her realize her mistake and return to the right path.

Since Mo Yan was never interested in gambling to begin with, she naturally wouldn’t conflict with her father over this matter. She sincerely admitted her fault and promised there would not be a next time.

Mo Qingze was satisfied, having gained thirty thousand taels of silver, nearly more than twice what the family had saved up before, and the spectacle of so much silver piled up before Mo Yan also left her pleased!

The father and daughter talked and laughed all the way home, without sparing a thought for what might become of the chief culprits, King Heng and Old Master Lin. With Chu Heng there, these two certainly wouldn’t escape easily.

As for the punishment these two would receive, the power to decide lay always in the hands of Emperor Huian. What punishment King Heng would face was uncertain, but Old Master Lin’s fate was predictable, most likely he could not escape death.

The carriage slowly entered the boundary of Liu Yang Village, but stopped two miles away from the Mo Family’s home. Mo Yan thought there might be a problem with the road ahead and was about to open the door to check, when she heard the soft neighing of Da HongZao.

She hurriedly opened the door, and the first thing she saw was the dense crowd of villagers nearby, with Xin Er and others at the forefront, followed by Yang Bao, MoFang, the Clan Leader of the Mo Family in Liu Yang Village, and several clan elders from the village.

"Dad, come out quickly, you need to come out!" Mo Yan called out urgently to her father who was dozing against the carriage wall.

Hearing his daughter’s call, Mo Qingze quickly opened his eyes, and through the opened carriage door, saw the crowd approaching. He quickly straightened his clothes and descended from the carriage to greet them.

Seeing Mo Qingze truly return safely, the crowd quickened their pace. Xin Er and Shengsheng almost ran to their father (adopted father), one hugging his waist and the other his leg, both with red eyes, brimming with tears.

"Dad, you’re finally back, sob!"

"Adoptive father, Shengsheng missed you so much!"

The two little girls, sobbing, held tightly to their father (adoptive father) and wouldn’t let go. This time, they were both terrified.
