Chapter 143: A Slippery Ground [I]

If Mo Hanshan was really still alive, then his act of mutilating the young children and throwing the corpses of the dead into the Guandi Temple this time was probably because he learned the news that Mo Qingshan was in the capital, and was deliberately provoking him or the entire Momen.

Just because the former elder hated evil and hated his hatred, he couldn't hold a grain of sand in his eyes, he was deeply responsible for Mo Hanshan's love, and was very annoyed at his self-indulgent practice of dark magic. 

He warned him when he was imprisoned in Mozhuang. If he didn't face the wall in darkness and think hard and change his past, he would gouge out his eyes, so that he could no longer practice this magic art.

Since Mo Sect was known as the number one sect in the world, and Mo Qingshan was the highest in charge of Mo Sect and was highly respected, Lu Ziqing did not question his remarks.

It was just that this Mo Hanshan had been driven out of the Momen for many years, and the sea of ​​people was vast, and tracing his footsteps was like looking for a needle in a haystack, which was extremely difficult.

Just when Lu Ziqing planned to go all out to track down Mo Hanshan's path, the identities of these five children were also determined, one after the other.

As expected, these five children were all from noble backgrounds. Three were the sons of wealthy businessmen with some status in the capital, but the other two children's identities gave Lu Ziqing a headache.

One was the son of the imperial censor Fan Zhongyang, and the other was the son of the King of Nanyang.

Although these noble families have many descendants, and these children are all descendants, they may not be valued by the ruling government. But now that they were being maimed to death in this way, it was clear that the government would not be able to swallow this grain of forsaken salt no matter what.

Fan Yushi and Nanyang Wang took turns to cry to Emperor Ming, demanding that the murderer be severely punished and justice must be delivered for them. Several wealthy businessmen even joined forces, and took their wives and concubines to cry and grab the ground outside the penal department every day.

So these days, Lu Ziqing was very broken down because of this case.

On this day, he was once again summoned by Emperor Ming to the Hall of Harmony to meet him.

In the Harmony Hall, Emperor Ming was sitting on the heavenly throne. With the Highness, stood Meng Tianluo and Meng Tianjue on one side, and King of Nanyang and imperial censor Fan Zhongyang on the other. They were looking at him angrily, as if they were blaming him for the fact that the investigation was ineffective, and the murderer had not been caught for a long time.

Lu Ziqing frowned slightly, looking at today's struggle, and it seemed a little troublesome.

These days, Emperor Ming was also one feeling that his body was not as good as before, and he was easily tired, and he was harassed by the tears and snot of Fan Yushi and Nanyang King from time to time, which made him very troublesome. Now that the case has not progressed for a long time, Lu Ziqing certainly didn't look good.

He glanced at Lu Ziqing, who was kneeling and salutes under His Highness, with a bad face, and reluctantly said, "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Ziqing stood up and heard Emperor Ming ask in a deep voice, "Lu Ziqing, is there any progress in the case of those five children?"

"Your majesty, that Mo Hanshan has been missing for a long time. It is not easy to find his traces. The minister is doing all he can to track it down." Lu Ziqing answered with a bow.

"Hmph, why is Master Lu so sure that the murderer in this case is Mo Hanshan, not Mo Qingshan? This king has heard that Mo Hanshan died twenty years ago. Could it be that Master Lu was trying to cover up Mo Qingshan, and you deliberately put the crime on a dead person?" Meng Tianluo's gloomy voice came from the opposite side.

"Why did His Royal Highness King Luo say this? This subordinate officer and Mo Qingshan don't know each other, so how can I do this act?" Lu Ziqing was neither humble nor arrogant, looking straight at Meng Tianluo and asked.

"Don't think that this king doesn't know, that Mo Qingshan is now the adoptive father of the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, and Lord Lu and Miss Zhao often go in and out of the Justice department together, and the relationship seems to be extraordinary. This king thinks that it is entirely possible that Lord Lu could cover up for Zhao's sake. I mean, for the sake of the eldest miss, you can protect Mo Qingshan." Meng Tianluo didn't give in, and said it carefully.

Lu Ziqing felt disgusted with Meng Tianluo. Zhao Ling is the future Princess Xuan, Meng Tianluo's words would not hurt him, but it will affect Zhao Ling's reputation. He immediately responded: "His Royal Highness King Luo, please be careful, Miss Zhao is the future Princess Xuan, and everyone knows about this matter. The lower official just respects her ability to investigate difficult matters and invites her to help, nothing else."

"Master Lu, why should you rush to protect the future Princess Xuan? This official thinks that Master Lu is ineffective in handling the case and lacking in ability. Then Mo Hanshan is the younger brother of Mo Qingshan, and he is also a member of the Mo family. Even if the real murderer in this case is Mo Hanshan, Mo Qingshan must also be involved with him. Mo Qingshan is inseparable from the Shandong Mo family, so why didn't Master Lu take Mo Qingshan into custody, and why didn't he go to the Shandong Mo family for a detailed investigation?" Fan Yushi said vigorously and with conviction.

The imperial censor,  Fan Zhongyang, was known as "iron teeth", and when he impeached officials, he was absolutely selfless and merciless.

The King of Nanyang also hopped in. "Hmph, that Mo Qingshan is not as good as he made people believe. I heard that Yin Zhan, the remnant of the previous dynasty, was raised by him, and I still don't know why, your majesty. Just by adopting the remnant of the previous dynasty, Mo Qingshan deserves death."

There was no need to wonder why the King of Nanyang was so angry. His daughter Meng Fu and son-in-law Tao Zhirui were killed in the fire of Baoning Temple in Yunzhou.

Although it was the work of Wuji Religion, but if Mo Qingshan did not adopt Yin Zhan, how could Wuji Religion resurface? Now that his son's death is related to Momen, how could he not hate Momen so much?

Had Mo Qingshan adopted the remnant of the previous dynasty? Everyone present, including Emperor Ming, Lu Ziqing and others, were all shocked.. Obviously, everyone didn't know about it.
