Chapter 98 Attending the Funeral

Send Liu Qing away, but Mo Qingcheng was a little unhappy. She didn't expect Mo Ruwen to die like this. Compared with the fierceness of Liu Qing and Mo Qingwu, Mo Ruwen was just ruthless, but he was self-inflicted and no one could save him.

Changing into a gorgeous suit, Mo Qingcheng was about to rush to the funeral, but He Liancheng came back with a tired face.

"Falling!" As soon as He Liancheng saw Mo Qingcheng, he reached out and took her into his arms. His deep voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes were deep and melancholy.

"What's wrong?" Mo Qingcheng stroked his broad back with his backhand and whispered.

"Mo Ruwen is dead!" He opened his thin lips gently and spit out four words in a low voice.

Mo Qingcheng patted him on the back and said lightly, "I know that Liu Qing has just come to report the funeral!"

"I wanted to give the eldest prince a heavy hammer, but I didn't expect to kill Mo Ruwen!" He Liancheng sighed and a trace of sadness flashed through his eyes. "Although he is guilty, he is not guilty to death. I hurt him!"

"Did you find out how he died?" Mo Qingcheng let go of his hand, took off his heavy official uniform, changed into casual clothes, and pulled him to the table and sat down.

"He was hit hard on the head. It should be murder!" He Liancheng held Mo Qingcheng's hand and looked solemn.

"Did you catch the murderer?" Mo Qingcheng was not surprised at all. She just wondered who had such a great ability to go to the prison to kill people!

He Liancheng shook his head, "No, it should be when the shift was changed in the morning. Someone took the opportunity to take action. In order to escape the crime, the Ministry of Criminal Justice actually lied that Mo Ruwen committed suicide!"

"What did the emperor say?" The emperor is not stupid and should not believe it.

"The emperor was quite dissatisfied with the corruption of Mo Ruwen. Now that Mo Ruwen is dead, won't it satisfy the emperor's heart!" He Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered, "However, in order to show the emperor's kindness, the emperor/returned the Mo family to the Mo family and allowed the Mo family to help the coffin of Mo Ruwen back to the Mo house, which also preserved the face of the Mo family!"

Mo Qingcheng frowned and said in surprise/here, "Isn't Shen Muchen responsible for this? He has always been known for his integrity. How could he allow this to happen?"

"I suspect that this is exactly what King Cheng sent someone to do. As you said, maybe he is a young man and has been secretly helping the eldest prince. This time, in order not to let Mo Ruwen confess the eldest prince's bad deeds, he killed people! The Ministry of Criminal Justice has always been closely connected, and external forces are difficult to penetrate. At present, no one can intervene in this matter except King Cheng, and can retreat completely!" He Liancheng met Mo Qingcheng's eyes with a blank face, and his slightly pale thin lips gently opened. "It's just that I don't understand why he helped the eldest prince and repeatedly wanted to kill me!"

Mo Qingcheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, turned up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to He Liancheng. He slowly said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time and came up with a guess. I don't know if you agree!"

"Texy!" He Liancheng took the teacup and was not in a hurry to drink it, but put together the broken hair in Mo Qingcheng's ear and looked at her fixedly.

Sometimes this is the case. The authorities are fascinated by the bystanders. They have been wandering in the officialdom for many years. Once they have identified it, it is difficult to change their views. From the perspective of an outsider, Qingcheng may be able to get different results.

"I don't know if you have found that since Shen Muchen returned to Beijing, Shen Muqi seems to have made more mistakes. Previously, Shen Muqi was just lazy and mediocre. Now he is not only found to accumulate money, but also related to Mo Ruwen's corruption case. The emperor is becoming more and more disappointed with him." The smile in Mo Qingcheng's brown eyes became thicker and thicker. "Think about this, Shen Muqi was abolished. Who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

He Liancheng lowered his head and meditated for a moment, suddenly stunned, and said unbelievably, "King Cheng!"

"That's right! Shen Muchen deliberately disguised himself as a bad man and excused to help Shen Muqi in order to win the trust of Shen Muqi. When Shen Muqi completely relied on him, he calculated step by step and let Shen Muqi make mistakes and urged the emperor to give up on Shen Muqi so that he could sit on the throne of the prince!" Mo Qingcheng squeezed the corners of his lips and sneered, "On the surface, he was trying to help Shen Muqi, but in fact, he was not well-hearted. Shen Muqi, the fool, realized that he was still in the dark!"

"That makes me!" He Liancheng nodded, and a deep cold flashed in his eyes, "King Cheng is really not to be underestimated!"

"In my opinion, his means are far more than that! Last time in the warehouse, I heard about Shen Muqi's conspiracy. He used the unjust wealth obtained by abducting and selling women to recruit troops and horses. It must have been Shen Muchen's idea for him in order to intrigue Shen Muqi to rebel! It is a death penalty to usurp the throne. No matter how much the emperor is willing to give up Shen Muqi, he will get rid of him!" Mo Qingcheng's clear eyes suddenly tightened, and her eyes were cold. She had long seen that Shen Muchen was not a good person. "It's just that he didn't expect that Mo Ruwen would be found out at this time, but things had come to this point, so they had to get rid of Mo Ruwen."

He Liancheng's eyebrows frowned deeper, and his face was full of gloomy and coldness. He couldn't help pinching the cup, "If this is really the case, we have to guard against it!"

"Someone may believe what we say, and we can only take one step at a time!" Mo Qingcheng was vaguely worried. If Shen Muchen really became emperor, he would definitely not let go of the general's mansion. First, he was afraid of the power of the general's mansion, and second, his personal resentment. He still wants to kill He Liancheng, let alone after ascending the throne!

"Don't worry too much. The general's mansion is not so easy to deal with, and we haven't done anything unreasonable!" He Liancheng saw her worries and got up to hold her in his arms.

Mo Qingcheng's two eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was no excuse for the crime! If you want to avoid tragedy, it's better to plan early.

"Bright, Liu Qing asked me to help take care of Mo Ruwen's funeral. I ordered Zhong Bo to help, and I also had to take some money from the account room!" Mo Qingcheng looked up at Heliancheng, "The Mo family has the kindness to raise me. If I stand by and watch, I will inevitably fall into the confines!"

"You don't have to ask me for this kind of thing. Just do it. Don't forget that you are the hostess of the general's mansion!" He Liancheng showed a faint tenderness in his eyes, and he lowered his head and kissed Mo Qingcheng's forehead.

Mo Qingcheng hooked his waist and lay in his arms at ease. His heart was still a little uneasy. Mo Ruwen died. He was afraid that the Mo Qing dance would hate him more, and there were four princesses. In private, he didn't know how to be encouraged by Mo Qingwu to deal with himself.

"General, madam, the carriage is ready!" Yan'er knocked on the door and whispered.

He Liancheng stroked Mo Qingcheng's eyebrows, looked down at her, and said for a long time, "Let's go!"

"Hmm!" Mo Qingcheng stood up and walked out with He Liancheng's arm.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Mofu, I heard a cry inside. Mo Qingcheng frowned and felt a little disgusted. The Mo family fell, and several people sincerely came to attend the funeral of Mo Ruwen! It's just a walk-through!

The mourning hall is located in the east courtyard. Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, the cuckoo greeted them with red eyes and handed them two filial piety belts.

When she entered the room, she saw a red sandalwood wooden coffin parked in the middle of the lobby. Mo Qingwu knelt on the coffin and lowered her head and sobbed. She was wearing a light blue flowing cloud smell jacket, wearing a white filial piety suit outside, thin powder, frowned and locked, and burned a few handfuls of paper money from time to time.

There were three rows of filial women kneeling on both sides of the coffin. Their tears were like foam splashed from the waterfall and fell to the ground. Are they so sad? If they don't know, they think they are close relatives of the Mo family!

It seems that Liu Qing is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He closed his eyes and dazzle the silver of the general's mansion. He not only bought the best coffin, but also hired so many filial people!

Mo Qingcheng took a look at He Liancheng and adjusted his mood. His clear face suddenly became extremely sad. She rushed straight to Mo Ruwenling and cried, "Father... Why did you go like this? What about your daughter?"

Everyone saw that Mo Qingcheng cried so sadly, so sad, and tears poured out of their eyes like a flood that broke the embankment, and suddenly sighed. This is the eldest daughter of the Mo family. She is also polite. She is more dignified than her second daughter. Although she is an adopted daughter, she is so affectionate and righteous, which is really rare!

Mo Qingwu suddenly raised his head when he heard Mo Qingcheng's voice and staggered in front of Mo Qingcheng. His eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You have a face! It's you who killed Dad, you killed Dad! Don't cry in this cat, pretend to be compassionate!"

It seems that they still don't know that Mo Ruwen was murdered. Mo Qingcheng sneered in his heart. She didn't want to come, but she had to come.

Sister, what do you mean? I was also very sad when my father went there. I knew your sufferings. I specially called the housekeeper Zhong of the general's mansion to help and put forward 10,000 taels of silver from the library, just to send my father a glorious journey. It's not in vain for him to raise me for so many years! How can you say that I killed my father?" Mo Qingcheng looked at Mo Qingwu with tears in his eyes and did not resist, allowing her to make trouble unreasonably.

"Who cares about the silver of your general's mansion! Get out of here, get out of here!" Mo Qingwu let go of his hand, pushed Mo Qingcheng, and said viciously.

He Liancheng quickly held her, looked at Mo Qingwu with a gloomy eyes, and whispered in Mo Qingwu's ear, "We are here today to send Master Mo. We are not here to make trouble. Please consider which is more important!"

Mo Qingwu turned pale and stared at Mo Qingcheng angrily. For the sake of his father, he won't care about her today!

Mo Qingcheng looked at her aggrievedly, opened his eyes wide, and tears condensed like crystals. "Sister, Dad has gone. Can't you let her live?"

"Yes, Concubine, if there is any misunderstanding, let's wait until the funeral is over!" Several women next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so they came forward to dissuade them.

Liu Qing heard the noise and hurried over. As soon as she saw Mo Qingcheng, tears rolled down, "Qingcheng, you finally came. I knew you were a filial daughter and would not come to see your father off!"

Mo Qingwu was even more uncomfortable when she saw that her mother was so close to Mo Qingcheng. She wanted to say something but was stared at by Liu Qing, so she had to clenched her fist and lowered her head unhappily.
