"Of course I know."
Yu Hongyin looked worried, "I heard that Chen Mo had a conflict with Chu Heng before. Now that things have just calmed down, would he be willing to intensify the conflict again for a few strangers he barely knows?"
"But aside from that, there is no other way."
"Sigh, let’s take one step at a time. After all, Chen Mo’s position is there, and we can’t force it."
The two of them wore a gloomy expression, only feeling that hope was dwindling.
An incense stick’s time later, Chen Mo returned from his break, looking refreshed.
At this moment, a Colonel walked in quickly and bowed, saying, "Mr. Chen, three guests have come to visit, saying they came specifically to see you."
"Three people?"
Chen Mo’s eyes flickered, and he nodded, "Let them in."
"Yes."
The Colonel retreated.
Shortly, three figures in long robes and bamboo hats entered the hall.
Seeing how tightly they were wrapped, Chen Mo found it amusing, "You three gentlemen are quite cautious, it seems you’re afraid of getting involved with me?"
"Mr. Chen misunderstands, with the current complex political situation, it’s better to be careful." A low voice came from under a hat, then turned to Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong, "Who are these two...?"
"Just Jianghu people, no need to mind." Chen Mo waved it off.
The three then removed their hats, revealing their true faces.
The one who spoke earlier was Yan Peizhi, and the other two were Assistant Minister of Rites Feng Jinyu, and Minister of the Ministry of Justice Xu Lin.
"Households Commander Li, arrange seats." Chen Mo said.
"No need to trouble." Yan Peizhi took out a piece of yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yuan, saying, "This is what you wanted, please have a look."
Li Yuan presented the yellow silk, Chen Mo unfolded it for a glance, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Have you three already met my father? Your efficiency is quite high."
Yan Peizhi asked, "I wonder if Mr. Chen is satisfied?"
Chen Mo put away the yellow silk, smiling, "Satisfied, extremely satisfied."
The three sighed in relief, Yan Peizhi stepped forward and said in a low voice, "In that case, the evidence..."
"Don’t worry, Lord Yan, I’m a man of my word. Once this matter is settled, I will completely destroy the evidence." Chen Mo paused before speaking, "After this event, I’m sure His Highness can see the positions and abilities of you two gentlemen, and past grievances will naturally not be pursued."
Yan Peizhi and Feng Jinyu exchanged a glance.
As long as there is one piece of evidence, countless copies can be made, even destroying it has no real significance.
The key still lies in Her Majesty the Empress’s attitude towards this matter...
Feng Jinyu stepped forward, handed over a thick envelope from his sleeve, and with a flattering smile said, "We hope Mr. Chen will speak well of us before His Highness."
"No problem."
Chen Mo casually took it.
"Mr. Chen!"
At this moment, Xu Lin, who had been silent, cleared his throat and said sternly, "To eradicate weeds, you must dig up the roots; to remove wood, you must eliminate the base; eradicate evil without leaving any trace of harm... Since we’re taking action, let’s not leave any room, or the aftermath could be endless!"
Xu Lin was in a foul mood.
This matter originally had nothing to do with him, yet he was dragged into it by these two old men.
There was no choice; the few of them had close personal relations, each holding leverage over the others. If Yan and Feng were pushed to the brink and decided to fight back desperately, he wouldn’t fare well!
Now that they’ve completely offended the Prince Yu Mansion, he only hoped Chen Mo could fully substantiate the case, leaving Chu Heng no room for recovery!
"This kind of thing doesn’t need your reminder, Lord Xu. I’ll make a mistake once, but never a second time." Chen Mo said plainly.
"Good." Xu Lin nodded, "Then I’ll await your good news, Mr. Chen."
Yan Peizhi clasped his hands, "Everything that needed saying has been said. We should not linger any longer, I bid farewell."
