Many people are dissatisfied with you, though they may not say it to your face, they still consider your position. You already have connections with Dayu and the Merchants. If you can truly help the Court find medicine, horses, and wool crafts, that would be a significant achievement. It would not only bring glory to the Emperor but also solidify your own status.
Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis, don't you think this is reasonable?
Uh, does His Majesty mean for me to request these things?
Oh dear, my Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis, have you been cooped up in your residence too long? I've made myself quite clear, why are you still questioning it?
If you are unwilling, that's fine too. Word will get out, and the Court Officials will be scrambling for this beautiful task!
Cai Zhuo mused to himself that with just a few words and some casual conversation, one could gain immense credit—how wonderful that would be!
Seeing Cai Zhuo's expression grow serious, Zheng Moru hurriedly bowed and thanked him for his guidance.
Hmm, Cai Zhuo inquired how long this might take. If manpower is lacking, we can always petition the Court.
Ah? Are we rushing this?
I didn't intend to pressure the Marquis like this, but I am thinking of your interests. At the last grand banquet, you were the star of the show, adorned with achievements that truly shone.
With the conversation reaching this point, Zheng Moru had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
After seeing him off at the door, Cai Zhuo returned to the Southern Study. Upon seeing His Majesty, he bowed and reported that Zheng Moru had agreed.
Qin Mu Hui scoffed lightly, feeling quite unwilling; he had to extract some benefits from Dayu. He planned to send some people to assist him and would keep them on their toes if there was any slackness.
After giving instructions to Cai Zhuo, Qin Mu Hui turned back to Qi Xiaomian with a smile and said, "You little rascal, I came up with this idea on a whim, yet you cooperate so well."
Uncle, I just responded naturally.
Having listened to your teachings since childhood, I understand you somewhat. Your actions ultimately aim for the good of Great Jing; following this line of thought makes it easy for me to guess your intentions.
Qin Mu Hui sighed with a smile, "Yes, it's all for the good of Great Jing. Zheng Moru's life still needs a few more days; I must think carefully about how to maximize the benefits from his death."
Qi Xiaomian remained silent.
Qin Mu Hui smiled at him and said, "Aren't you going to ask why I want him dead?"
You have your reasons; I will follow your orders as instructed.
Qin Mu Hui's expression darkened as Zheng Moru's identity was confirmed by the Dragon Guard; he turned out to be the sickly heir of the Dayu Tang Duke's Residence. Qi Xiaomian had known about Zheng Moru's identity all along. The reason the Dragon Guard was able to uncover it so quickly was that he had arranged for someone to leak the clues.
With this revelation, Qi Xiaomian's contribution was significant, but no matter how great it was, he could not claim it. His sources of information were even faster than those of the Dragon Guard, and they were in enemy territory. If His Majesty found out and realized what had happened, it would only deepen their mutual suspicion.
In order to resolve the situation quickly, Qi Xiaomian could only feign surprise while matching Qin Mu Hui's fury.
Qin Mu Hui slammed his hand on the table and angrily exclaimed, "After lying low for over twenty years, if we are exposed now, it would truly be the greatest disgrace for the Great Jing Dynasty!"
