Volume 1 Chapter 174: Mo San Gongzi

  Chapter 174: Mo San Gongzi

  After Mozi left, Yuan Cheng coldly ordered the two beautiful maids who were busy pouring wine and flirting to leave.

  Look at those two people leaving with a lingering gaze, Jin and Yin staring at the gemstone in their hands, Feng's eyes narrowed with a hint of a smile. "You're as boring as before, beautiful woman right in front of you yet unseen. Yuan Cheng, I thought you'd died once, should've let go by now. Maybe it's because you have some crooked thoughts about someone. If that's true, I advise you to correct yourself."

  Yuan Cheng didn't think much of it, he never had excessive desires for beautiful things, and he also knew who the person referred to by "gold and silver" was. The painting boat was different from ordinary boats in that it had many windows and was open on all four sides, allowing one to see the scenery and lights outside, as well as a certain someone sitting at the edge of the boat.

  Did he have ulterior motives towards her? Why not? A person as intelligent as she, who had never been encountered before, could rival any man despite being a woman. Just like when she asked him to be friends, he also had a strong desire to cherish his talent. Sometimes he even thought that losing everything would be worth it if it meant getting to know someone like her. His past, which seemed to have reached its peak, was not actually his own. His present, with nothing to his name, required starting from scratch, but he suddenly felt some fatigue, and only she could capture his full attention.

  Is it about love?

  Otherwise.

  He has always been indifferent and proud, selfish to the point of only caring about his own survival. He mostly enjoys the feeling of being friends with her, delighted when they are close, and shallow when they are distant.

  She didn't have that infatuated gaze typical of women, her attitude was frank and straightforward, her words were concerned but not overly so, and there was no hint of romance between them. This made him feel very at ease.

  "Gold and silver, you seem to know a lot about her. Unfortunately, you spoke one step too late." The sworn brotherhood between Gold and Silver was formed when everyone's minds were unclear. Afterwards, they maintained an awkward relationship, only interacting when absolutely necessary. The phrase "brothers" seemed like a joke.

  Jin Yin heard Yuan Cheng say something, he was a step late, and suddenly raised his head with wide eyes. "Yuan Cheng, you... Today is the Double Seventh Festival, I said how you accompanied her. That girl is extremely intelligent, what means did you use to deceive her into being so devoted? Did you use poison?"

  Yuancheng raised an eyebrow, with a hint of mockery, "Why must you apply your own thoughts to me, Jin Dashi?"

  "What do you mean?" Jin and Yin were more carefree than Yuan Cheng, enjoying life to the fullest since they came out, eating well, playing well, never lagging behind, with lively thoughts and rich imagination.

  "I interact with her as friends, when needed, rely on each other's support." Clearly said, it's that kind of friendship where they mutually take advantage of each other.

  "Yuan Cheng, do you know who she is?" This guy's luck is better than his own, almost dying and yet he encounters her to save him, it's as if heaven itself has allowed this person to continue causing trouble for the world. Not only is he alone now, but also with her help, gold and silver feel like dark clouds covering their heads.

  "When she wanted to tell me, I naturally knew it, why ask more." Yuan Chun had never treated Mozi as an ordinary private goods trader or maid. He was curious about her mystery, but not urgent. Mozi was just Mozi, no matter what, the side she showed him was not hypocritical, that was enough.

  "I've come to tell you, how?" Tonight, Jinying saw the true face of Mozi, and finally confirmed that his previous feeling was not wrong. This Mo brother, this Mozi, was indeed the little girl he met back then.

  Yuancheng got up.

  Jin and Yin were taken aback, "Don't you want to know? Why? In the past when you interacted with people, didn't you always investigate their background before accepting their gifts or doing business with them?"

  "When I need her help with something in the future, I'll come ask you about it." For now, just want to keep things simple and maintain a cooperative relationship.

  "Yuan Cheng, don't tell me you've become a good person." He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

  "Gold and silver, those three pearls were given to me by you of your own free will, I accepted them. You are the sole master of Nan De Money House, its benefits far exceed its value, but is it really so?" He was greedy for things that others gave willingly, never forcing anyone. He also chose people carefully to receive from, because once he accepted something, he would definitely get things done.

  "Gold and silver don't dare to speak loudly, pouting their mouths. 'That's also because you know I have this treasure in my hand, hinting that I'll give it to you, so you helped me get through all the connections.'"

  "Not bad, I'll pay 200,000 yuan out of my own pocket to settle everything. This pearl wasn't collected for free. If you bother me with this matter again..." Nande was a corrupt official, and as the top one at that, people had to bribe him to get things done."

  "Are you going to sell me the pearl?" The golden and silver eyes sparkled.

  "I'll let you have the Golden Silver Bank in Nandeh. Now that he's lost power, it doesn't matter; as long as the corrupt wind of Nandeh still exists, he has a way."

  If someone else said this, Jin and Yin would not be taken seriously at all. He is not a person without any power or connections. Over the years, his money house has stood firm in various countries, naturally with great depth. But if Yuan Cheng says so, he can only lament in his heart, how can't he defeat this guy?

  Everyone knows that when a person leaves, the tea cools down. But not Yuan Cheng - even after he left, his tea remained warm. The connections and networks he built over ten years of working in official circles were almost unimaginable to others. On the day his house was searched, countless gold, silver, and jewels were found - all contributed to the national treasury? Don't make me laugh. To solidify his guilt, the national treasury even spent millions of taels of silver on treasures, making the people of Nandu believe that Yuan Cheng had plundered the people's wealth and was incredibly rich. The first corrupt official was just an empty title - although his family wasn't wealthy, compared to other officials in Nandu, he could be said to be a refreshing breeze. So where did all his ill-gotten gains go? It can only be inferred, not spoken aloud. Everyone who gave him money and gifts knew exactly how much they had given.

  Jin and Yin thought Yuan Cheng was just like any other corrupt official before they got to know him, but later found out that they were completely wrong.

  "And I also know why you want to take the pearl back, but those rumors are false, it's better if you don't believe them." Yuan Cheng was very clear about Jin Yin's persistence, but he found it laughable.

  Jin and Yin were shocked, "Yuan Qing, is there anything you don't know?"

  "It's me." Yuan Cheng pointed at the person outside watching the flower lanterns, "And her too."

  Jin and Yin also stood up, if Yuan Cheng and Mo Zi were both on deck, what did it mean for one person to sit alone?

  "Yuan Cheng, what are you planning?" A grand pardon for the entire nation, inexplicable; He is openly and honorably in office, inexplicable; There are also elite soldiers and generals protecting him, inexplicable; And Mozi's sudden friendship, inexplicable.

  "Gold and silver, what about you?" Yuan Cheng asked back.

  Two people, one black and one white, one plain and one gold, extremely different yet strangely harmonious.

  "Jade Tomb destroys the country, what will you do then?" Yuan Cheng asked again, and Mo Zhu's eyes were illuminated by the lamp.

  "The old should have died, the young are useless. I've been waiting for this day for a long time, what do you think I'll do?" The golden and silver beauty's expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by a cruel smile.

  "It turns out that you, me, and her are all uncertain about the road ahead." Yuan's pale face was truly warm and gentle. "If you say fewer pretty words, the three of us can temporarily travel together for a while, and perhaps we can get what we want with ease."

  Jin Yin was stunned on the spot, and then heard Yuan Cheng ask, Mo Ge, do you want to light a lantern and make a wish?

  Is it easy to get the world just by spitting in your hand?

  Jin and Yin gazed at the backs of the two people in front of them. One had once been all-powerful, bearing a family feud, yet repaid it with devastating consequences for an entire nation. The other hid in the shadows, possessing unparalleled skills, having already brought about the downfall of one country. And he wasn't boasting; if he were to rely on the wealth of the people under heaven, he would be absolutely rich enough to rival a nation. As for whether the current dynasty was blessed or doomed, it seemed that it all depended on their mood.

  Thinking so, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Yuan Cheng is evil to the core, don't bring trouble to that kind-hearted young lady. He quickly stepped forward and beckoned the boatman selling lanterns to come closer.

  "Mo Ge, choose your favorite one, I'll give it to you." He had a great day today, thanks to her gift. The flower lamp was just the beginning.

  Mozi saw that both of them were very good to her and accepted it generously, but she had a question, "How did Jin Dashi recognize me at a glance?"

  "We've met before, how can you not recognize me?" Jin Yin said with a smile, not keeping a straight face.

  Mozi thought he was talking about meeting at the money house, so she took it as a compliment that he had good eyesight. After all, she only applied some light powder to her face and didn't change her features, so it was normal for him to recognize her. Yuan Cheng also recognized her at a glance. She stopped asking questions then.

  Yuan Cheng said with a smile, "Mo Ge, it's rare for Jin Da Shao to be so generous. You should choose the most expensive one and get me a bowl too."

  Jin and Yin couldn't help but retort, "I'm generous to Mo Ge, not you. Besides, someone like you shouldn't make wishes in front of the lamp, that's just courting disaster."

  Mozi smiled wryly and spoke bluntly, "You two want to quarrel, don't do it in front of me. As sworn brothers, just yield to each other. If you go on like this, even if you release the lanterns, your wishes won't come true."

  Yuancheng was speechless, gold and silver were also silent, rushing towards the ink purple, ceasefire.

  Released the flower lanterns, sent away two boat girls, three people continued drinking, don't know what they talked about, suddenly very congenial. Also called for a few hundred taels to bring the four treasures of the study, wrote something and burned something. Mozi's head got drunk so much for the first time, got dizzy and fell asleep on the table.

  Waking up in the faint light of dawn, Jin and Yuan were not there, but she was lying on a soft couch, no wonder she slept comfortably. Rubbing her eyes and going up to the deck, she saw that the boat had already docked ashore.

  Some people are cleaning up the river, scooping up lanterns and throwing them into baskets. It turns out that the wishes that didn't make it to the river mouth were cut short like this.

  She couldn't help but smile, and suddenly saw a tall figure standing beside her, startling her. She quickly turned to look at him and said, "Zan Jin, why didn't you make a sound?" This gentleman had eaten and drunk too much at the Yuan residence yesterday, and as soon as he got in the carriage, he fell asleep.

  "Mo Ge, you should wake me up. What if we encounter robbers again?" Zan Jin looked very embarrassed, it seemed that in the future he would rather starve than sleep through his hunger.

  "On the boat, who's coming to rob?" Mu Zi was ready to get off the boat. She saw Yuan Chun's carriage still there and asked, "Has everyone left?"

  "They've all left, but the young master saw that you were sleeping soundly and told me to wait for you to wake up before leaving the boat. The young master also left a car, I can take you back." Zan Jin followed behind Mo Zi.

  Mozi found it very awkward, "What's with this 'young master' stuff? Zan Jin, you don't have to be so polite to them."

  "Mo Ge, since you've sworn brotherhood with them, it's not wrong for me to call them that. A hundred taels or a thousand taels, I'll just call you Third Master." Zan Jin now has his own opinions.

  Who made a sworn brother with whom? Which idiot wants to be what third young master ah? She is female, okay?
