Han Mo spoke these words with a cold sneer in his eyes.
He truly had no sense of belonging to that family, but in the end, this body he inhabited was given by Han Rui.
If father and son had conflicts, that was their own problem. But if someone wanted to make an issue out of Han Rui, they had to see if they had the ability!
"Do you want me to write a letter to Grand Uncle now?"
Feeling the killing intent from Han Mo, Zhe Yourong hurriedly said in a small voice.
"There's no need. Doesn't that Wang Boyan want to draw me into his scheme? Then I'll let him see if the people of my Han family are someone he can touch! The world has really changed. Any cat or dog now wants to climb onto the chessboard and become a player. Don't these people know that playing chess requires capital?"
"Guards!"
"My lord!"
Upon hearing Han Mo's summons, Jiang Yan quickly strode in.
"I'll write two letters and send them via carrier pigeon to Bianliang!"
Taking a deep breath, Han Mo immediately made up his mind again.
"Yes!"
He had originally intended to make this plan more perfect, but now, with the sudden appearance of this reckless fellow, Han Mo could no longer afford to be so meticulous.
"Have someone prepare shortly. Tonight, book a fine banquet at the Zhuangyuan Tower, and then send people to notify the seven great families, telling them I'm inviting them for a meal tonight!"
"Didn't the Cai family already show weakness? Is it too hasty to pressure them now?"
Hearing Han Mo's words, Zhe Yourong asked with some confusion.
"If I don't push them, won't these people drag on for a few more months? I don't have that much time to dawdle with them! Don't worry, it's a case of where there's one, there will be another. The Cai family has already surrendered, and the warships of the Mingzhou navy have been refitted. For those who make a living from the sea, if they still don't know who to pay allegiance to, swallowing them whole is just a matter of a word!"
"Mo Ge'er, why do I feel like your killing intent is a bit heavy today..."
Listening to Han Mo's domineering words, Zhe Yourong looked at him with some worry.
After all, what Han Mo did was always dancing on the edge of a blade.
If he couldn't maintain a clear head, one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation!
"My killing intent is probably not even a tenth of Mr. Shao's. Don't worry, I won't get this matter confused!"
Although Zhe Yourong also felt that Han Mo's last sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning, since Han Mo didn't explain, she didn't press further. She simply reached out and poured Han Mo a cup of hot tea.
In the prison of Sumocheng in Jiaozhi Kingdom, thousands of miles away, Liu Siye gritted his teeth as he looked at Zhang Jing in front of him.
"Don't look at me like that. Who told you to deliver such a good opportunity into my hands? You know what the relationship between our two families is. If you blame anyone, it's only yourself for having bad luck!"
Looking at his former opponent who had now become a prisoner, Zhang Jing was filled with smugness.
The concept of a bottom line was like the clothes on a prostitute; once the first time was taken off, it became easy to take them off subsequently.
Liu Yutang was not a tough person to begin with. Since he had already confessed everything, it was only natural that he would confess again in court.
With his testimony, coupled with the fact that many people had personally seen him frequently entering and exiting the Liu family, Liu Siye was naturally unable to refute anything.
"Do you really think you've won?"
"Hahahaha, you're in this situation, do you still have a chance to turn things around? Alright, since we're both illegitimate sons of our families, if you have any last wishes, feel free to instruct them. As long as it's not too excessive, I'll have them try their best to fulfill it for you! Three days from now, you will be escorted back to Shenglong Mansion. Enjoy these last three days!"
With the crimes he was charged with, Liu Siye could guess the fate that awaited him in Shenglong Mansion, even without Zhang Jing saying it.
On the first day of his imprisonment, he had already sent someone to relay the news back to the family.
Ten days had passed, and yet there was still no reaction from the family.
This clearly meant that he had become a discarded piece by the family; he had been abandoned.
Looking at the ox horn thumb ring on his right hand, Liu Siye suddenly smiled.
Since he had already become a discarded piece, what else was there for him to struggle for?
"Guards! Guards!"
After Zhang Jing left, it wasn't long before Liu Siye began to shout loudly.
"Young Master Liu, do you need anything else?"
Having received Zhang Jing's instructions, the prison guards did not make things difficult for him.
"Please find Liu Heng for me and tell him that I want the best banquet and the best wine!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, several guards immediately turned and walked out.
About half an hour later, Liu Heng, with tears in his eyes, finally entered with two large food containers.
"Ye'er..."
Just a glance at Liu Siye's haggard appearance made Liu Heng unable to help but cry out.
"What are you crying for? I'm not still alive and well? Hurry up and bring the wine and meat!"
Hearing this, Liu Heng quickly took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the jailer's embrace.
After receiving the silver, the jailer grumbled and opened the cell door, allowing Liu Heng to enter.
"Please be quick, Young Master. I'll come back after one incense stick's time!"
After clicking his tongue, the jailer reluctantly turned and left.
"Listen to me, take this thing and find that Song merchant. Tell him I agree to what he said before!"
Hearing the jailer's footsteps recede, Liu Siye quickly took off the ox horn thumb ring and carefully stuffed it into Liu Heng's hand.
"Yes!"
"Pack some gold and silver, take whatever you can carry. Whatever you can't, give it all to Zhang Jing. Prioritize your own safety. When I get out, we'll still have a chance to make a comeback!"
"But can those people be trusted? If not for them, why would you have ended up like this..."
"Don't worry about whether they're trustworthy or not. I've become a discarded piece by the family now. Do you think I still have anything worth them scheming for?"
While both of them strained their ears to listen for the jailer's movements, they lowered their voices and chatted quietly.
"But..."
"That's enough. Be careful when you go, and don't let Zhang Jing's men see you!"
