After a pause, Marquis Ji continued, “Perhaps if we let them live, we can easily capture them and threaten Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu to work for us. They can be our spies in the southern camp.”
As for now, he would brush this matter aside.
Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu were still small insignificant soldiers. Even if Xue Sanfu was personally taught by Duke Shao, he would definitely not have access to the military camp’s secrets and would not be able to make any big impacts to the situation.
“It is true that you have great foresight, it seems that mine is far inferior.” The person who reported immediately flattered his master.
“Xue Heng’s matter has been investigated. There’s nothing else for you to do now. You can also go from the Imperial Capital to Lingshan Town to find the Crown Prince. Shao Zhongxi is also around this area, so he obviously knows more than we thought. We can’t let him find the Crown Prince before we do.” “Yes, sir!” The person who reported immediately accepted the order and left.
Marquis Ji’s subordinate who went to Heqi to look for Xiao Mochen was called Ah San. After Ah San arrived at Heqi, he went straight to Xiao Mochen’s residence.
Everyone in Shengming Academy knew about Xiao Mochen’s study tour, and many people knew where he was in Heqi. He could easily find out he they asked around.
Xiao Mochen’s residence was a small house that he had rented. It was located in a small alley.
Ah San carried the things he had prepared beforehand and knocked on the door.
Soon, a young master in green loose clothing — who also had wooden clogs — casually opened the courtyard door from the inside.
Which part of him looked like a scholar?
Ah San was a little suspicious that he had knocked on the wrong door, but he still smiled and asked, “May I ask if you are Xiao Mochen?”
“That’s right. May I know who you are?” Xiao Mochen sized him up.
“I came from Pingan Town and came here for some business. Your cla.s.smate, Xue Yan, knew that I was coming, so he asked me to bring you some things. He said that your sister made them for you, and he also asked me to tell you that your sister is doing well at his house, so you can rest a.s.sured.” Ah San smiled and handed over the bag in his hand.
Inside was a set of men’s clothes that he had casually bought from a clothing store on the way.
Xiao Mochen smiled. “My sister is at his house. He really is taking care of her. I was studying abroad and can’t be in town to take care of her. I had no choice but to let my sister go to his house. Thank you very much.” As he said that, he took the bundle and hurriedly said, “Come in and sit. I’ve been here for more than half a year, but I’ve never seen anyone from Pingan Town. It makes sense as to why I feel close to you when I see you.”
“No thank you, I still have things to do.” Ah San said with a smile. “Farewell.” Then, he left.
Since he had already found out that she was Xiao Mochen’s sister, he definitely had to leave quickly and return to the Imperial Capital to report to his master, Marquis Ji.
Xiao Mochen waited until the stranger was gone and would definitely not come back. He then closed the courtyard door.
However, before the door of the courtyard was closed, a young lady came out of the house with a three or four-month-old child in her arms. She asked him, “Mochen, who was it?”
Xiao Mochen smiled and closed the door. As he walked back, he smiled and said, “No one. I just asked someone to buy a set of clothes for me. I don’t know if the st.i.tches are done right. Can you help me take a look at this? If there’s anything that doesn’t fit, help me change it.”
This young lady was Xiao Mochen’s sister.
Something had indeed happened to his sister’s husband’s family. Her husband was gone and she had no one to rely on, so she came to seek refuge with him with her brother However, he happened to be on a study tour at that time, so he brought his sister along..
