Chapter 127 The Real Culprit (2)_1
Lizhong’s eyes lit up, and he sat up abruptly from the bed, excitedly saying, "Yan girl, that’s a brilliant idea, such a brilliant idea, how come I never thought of it before!"
Mo Yan smiled without saying a word, but she felt torn inside, hoping that the woman was Lixiu, yet hoping she was not.
The very next day at dawn, Lizhong left the house without even eating breakfast, eager to put Mo Yan’s suggested plan into action.
Mo Yan didn’t dare to delay either, and after eating breakfast she too left the house. Beggars were everywhere, so when the time came, she could simply arrange a few to lead Lizhong to the secret brothel.
Within two days, Lizhong had received some news about his daughter from a young beggar, and he went full of anticipation to verify it.
Seeing that everything was under her control, Mo Yan then shifted her focus to the fruit seedlings, but before she could find the right merchant to bring back apple, grape, and other fruit seedlings from the Barbarian Countries, Punishing Shopkeeper came to her door, bringing with him news that filled her with immense joy.
"Punishing Shopkeeper, are you telling the truth? Are those fruit seedlings really for me to plant?" Mo Yan could hardly believe it; it was like being offered a pillow while dozing off.
It turned out that not long ago, the Court had sent people to the Barbarian Countries to transport a batch of fruit seedlings back, and these seedlings were supposed to be cultivated by officials from the Agricultural Politics Department. However, in recent years, the Court had spent a great deal of manpower and resources on high-quality fruit seedlings that the Agricultural Politics Department had failed to cultivate any fruit, to Emperor Huian’s great dissatisfaction.
