Chapter 441: Can’t I be honest
Chapter 441
Mo Jiuye stopped what he was doing.
"Why did you frame Boss Tang?"
Xue Fan gasped for air a few times, trying his best to make his breathing calm.
"I did pretend to be Boss Tang. That was because Boss Jin\'s restaurant business was too good, the number one competitor of my Jingxian Building, in order to make Jingxian Building earn more money in the northwest, I came up with this method to deal with him."
No matter how perfunctory this story was, not to mention Mo Jiuye didn\'t believe it, even the subordinates who were listening didn\'t believe it.
Mo Jiuye took out the small paper bag again, deliberately shook it in front of Xue Fan before sprinkling it on his wound.
"I already told you, why are you still doing this?" Xue Fan was in a hurry.
"This is the consequence of you not being honest." Mo Jiuye said, without stopping his actions, sprinkling the powder little by little on Xue Fan\'s wound.
"Your assassin subordinate has already said that you have been in the northwest for more than ten days, but you said it\'s only been a few days.
Also, as far as I know, the best business in the northwest region is currently Tang\'s Restaurant. I\'m afraid your intention is not on the wine, isn\'t it?
Since you are not frank, I can only use some means to make you frank."
This time Xue Fan was really scared. That bloody hole was not just painful, it was simply devastating.
It was indeed the case. When Xue Fan saw the new bloody hole on his leg again, he had completely collapsed.
"I beg you... don\'t torture me anymore... isn\'t being frank okay?"
Mo Jiuye didn\'t say anything because his patience was also almost worn out by this sly Xue Fan. He just stared coldly at the other party, waiting for him to speak up.
Xue Fan also knew that he would not escape today, but he really could not bear such mentally devastating torture.
He silently said in his heart: Father, Empress Aunt, I have let you down.
Xue Fan made up his mind and finally spoke up.
"After I arrived in the northwest, I had dealings with Boss Jin a few times. I heard from him that the cold rabbit of Tang\'s Restaurant came from a Mo family.
He also said that the Mo family was ransacked by the imperial edict and exiled here. So I can be sure that the Mo family Boss Jin was referring to was the former Duke Mansion Mo Family.
In my understanding, before the Mo Family was exiled, their home was ransacked when they left Beijing and they didn\'t have a penny left.
So I can be sure that the cold rabbit is the capital for the Mo Family to make a living."
Just as Xue Fan was about to say something more, Mo Chuhan angrily interrupted him.
"Do you mean that your purpose in doing this is to cut off the source of livelihood for my Mo family?"
Xue Fan nodded, "That\'s right. When the Mo family was in the capital, they had no less enemies with Prince Heng. You also know that the Xue family is the one who protects Prince Heng. How can we not resent the Mo family?"
Although Xue Fan was trapped, it did not affect his thinking.
Just now, that person said cut off the source of livelihood of my Mo family.
Those who can call themselves my Mo family must also be from the Mo family.
In his cognition, there was only Mo Jiuye left of the Mo family men, no one else was possible.
"Are you also from the Mo family?"
Mo Chuhan didn\'t pay attention to him at all, but looked at Mo Jiuye, wanting to see what his next move would be.
If someone who didn\'t know about this had heard Xue Fan\'s words, they would all think it made sense.
But the Mo brothers would not believe it at all.
Mo Jiuye sneered coldly.
"It\'s fake that you came to the northwest to cut off the source of livelihood for my Mo family. The real purpose is to find out information about my Mo family, right? If possible, would you take action to dispose of me too?"
Mo Jiuye\'s mind was delicate. He could hear from Xue Fan\'s words that after arriving in the northwest, Xue Fan had been busy with the Jingxian Building all the time and had no time to investigate the Mo family yet.
"On the surface, you made a move against Boss Tang to cut off my Mo family\'s source of income, but the real purpose was to force me to show up, right?"
Mo Jiuye pressed step by step, every sentence hit the sore spot in Xue Fan\'s heart.
Xue Fan instantly broke into a cold sweat, because everything Mo Jiuye said was right.
Then he looked at Mo Chuhan again. This man was burly in stature, and his appearance was no less handsome than Mo Jiuye\'s.
According to his knowledge, Mo family men were all handsome in appearance and extraordinary in temperament. No matter from any aspect, this person was no less outstanding than Mo Jiuye at all.
Could it be that he is also a Mo family man?
This is impossible. Except for Mo Jiuye, all Mo family men died on the battlefield, this is a fact known to the whole world.
Just as Xue Fan was wondering, Mo Jiuye spoke again.
"I don\'t have much patience to linger here with you. If you think there should be a few more bloody holes on your body, I don\'t mind dirtying my hands again."
As Mo Jiuye spoke, the small paper bag in his hand was already opened, pretending to sprinkle it on Xue Fan\'s wound.
Because he deliberately slowed down this time, it gave Xue Fan a chance to react.
"Don\'t... don\'t... I\'ll tell."
Mo Jiuye stopped his movements.
"Then say something that can make me believe."
"It was my Empress Aunt. She has always believed that the disappearance of Prince Heng is related to you. So she discussed with the Prime Minister to send someone to the northwest to catch you alive and ask about the whereabouts of Prince Heng.
On the one hand, she hopes I can find out the whereabouts of Prince Heng from you, and on the other hand, she is worried that Prince Qi will find a way to redress the Mo Family one day. Once that day comes, with your support, even if Prince Heng comes back, it would still be very difficult for him to stand firm.
Therefore, my Empress Aunt also hopes that I can dispose of you unknowingly..."
Speaking to this point, Xue Fan couldn\'t help but glanced at Mo Jiuye\'s expression. Seeing that there was no anomaly, he continued:
"The main purpose of me opening two Jingxian Buildings in the northwest is to cover people’s eyes.
Today I was just waiting for the news from the government side. Once Boss Tang gets convicted, I believe it won’t take many days for your Mo family to think of other ways to sell the cold rabbit.
By then, I can take the opportunity when the Mo family\'s attention is all on their livelihood to send someone to catch you alive."
Mo Jiuye asked with interest: "Oh? According to what you said, after you arrived in the northwest, you still have not gone to investigate any news about my Mo family?"
