The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

Duan Chen's answer, based on a moral perspective, left no room for criticism.

As for how much was public and how much was private, only she knows the answer.

Shen Mo didn't dwell on the issue, but said, "Let's finish distributing the porridge and go back to the nunnery. You shouldn't go out to distribute porridge alone anymore."

"What exactly is going on?" Duan Chen frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

Shen Mo explained, "The murderer was sent by the Jiang family, and the head constable was also bribed by the Jiang family."

"No wonder!"

Duan Chen's expression changed, and he said angrily, "There used to be many kind-hearted people in the city who set up porridge stalls to distribute porridge, but now there are fewer and fewer of them. It turns out that the Jiang family is afraid that too many people will take the porridge and ruin their grain business!"

"This matter will not be left like this!"

A murderous glint flashed in Shen Mo's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Duan Chen said with concern, "The Jiang family is quite powerful; don't act rashly."

"Thank you for your concern, Master!"

Shen Mo grinned, causing Duan Chen's cheeks to flush red again, and he quickly lowered his head.

........

Night falls.

Shen Mo poured the last ladle of porridge into the bowls of the disaster victims, but there was still a long line behind them. This amount of porridge was just a drop in the ocean.

He escorted Duan Chen and the young monks and nuns to the foot of the mountain.

"Benefactor Shen," Duan Chen called out to Shen Mo, who had turned around.

"Um?"

"If things are beyond our control, we should put them aside for now. The Jiang family has committed many evils and will surely be punished by heaven!" Duan Chen said, bowing to the sky as if he were worshipping the unseen Buddha.

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "I can't let go!"

Duan Chen's body trembled slightly. She didn't know if Shen Mo meant that he couldn't let go of the Jiang family or what happened in the courtyard that day.

After suddenly turning around.

He silently rode his horse and disappeared into the night.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Divine Constable.

Ling Shuang was accepting a mission when she saw Shen Mo and joked, "Partner, you've finally agreed to leave the palace."

"Stop joking. Help me find cases related to the Jiang family or offer a reward."

"The Jiang family? Which Jiang family?"

"Your Senior Sister Jiang's Jiang family!"

Shen Mo looked serious, and his expression didn't seem like he was joking.

Ling Shuang frowned upon hearing this and said, "Shen Mo, let's just forget about what happened last time. Why make things difficult for her?"

She thought Shen Mo was angry about what happened to Jiang Xiaoxiao that night.

Shen Mo shook his head: "It's not that I'm making things difficult for her, it's that the Jiang family is making things difficult for me. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's find her quickly."

"good!"

Seeing that he insisted, Ling Shuang stopped trying to persuade him.

The two entered the Divine Arrest Bureau and searched through the archives. Finally, they found files related to the Jiang family in a stack of files in the corner, and several of them were piled together.

These are unsolved cases that haven't been fully investigated, so there are no rewards offered, and ordinary people wouldn't bother looking for them.

Shen Mo sneered, "What a coincidence that the Jiang family's unsolved case is buried in the deepest corner?"

Ling Shuang finally realized that something was wrong.

Shen Mo flipped through several volumes and quickly locked onto one of them.

The volume contains the following information:

In Black Stone Lane, a woman was humiliated and her husband was murdered. The case file listed several suspects, including a man named Jiang Hou.

This Marquis Jiang is none other than Jiang Xiaoxiao's younger brother.

"Come with me!"

Shen Mo picked up the dossier and rode his horse to Black Stone Alley.

After making some inquiries, he quickly found the woman's house and knocked on the door.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

The door was opened a crack, then opened wide, and a simply dressed woman exclaimed with delight, "My benefactor, what brings you here?"

"My benefactor?"

Ling Shuang looked at Shen Mo with a puzzled expression. Shen Mo was also confused; he had no recollection of this woman.

Just then, a little boy wearing open-crotch pants ran up behind the woman, poked half his head out, and curiously looked at the late-night visitor outside the door.

"So you're his mother?"

Shen Mo recognized the child at a glance; it was the one he had rescued on the street that day.

What a coincidence!

The woman said apologetically, "Yes! The situation was too chaotic at the time, and I, a mere woman, did not dare to come forward to thank you and that heroine."

"Actually, I came here this time to inquire about something."

Shen Mo immediately took out the dossier and handed it to the woman so she could read it herself.

After reading it, the woman hesitated for a long time before saying, "My benefactor, let it go! The Jiang family... is not someone we can afford to offend."

"Have you forgotten about the Minister of Revenue?"

Shen Mo countered, "Although the Minister of Revenue's family wealth is not as abundant as the Jiang family's, he is still a Minister and wields considerable power."

In the end, didn't he still suffer the fate of having his entire family executed?

The woman was somewhat tempted. Remembering the humiliation of that day and her deceased husband, she gritted her teeth and said, "I will leave it all to my benefactor!"

"Just hearing that is enough."

After Shen Mo finished speaking, he turned to Ling Shuang and said, "You stay here and protect the mother and child. If things get bad, you can take them to another location first."

"Shen Mo! Are you really sure?"

Ling Shuang's expression was more serious than ever before. She knew that Shen Mo's departure meant that he was about to declare war on the behemoth, the Jiang family.

Shen Mo nodded firmly.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but it was Master Hongchen who was almost injured. Did he really let go of what happened in the courtyard that night? The answer is, of course, no.

The Jiang family residence.

Shen Mo casually knocked the two gatekeepers to the ground, then kicked open the red-lacquered gate.

Boom—

The gate collapsed with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

The sound immediately attracted all the thugs raised by the Jiang family, including some Blood Transformation Realm warriors.

"Who dares to trespass into the Jiang family's home? Do they have a death wish?"

"presumptuous!"

"Boy, state your name!"

The warriors, with their numerical advantage, gradually surrounded Shen Mo.

Shen Mo sneered, "You lackeys are not worthy to know my name."

Soon, a martial arts master was sent flying.

Then came the second, the third, and no one could withstand a single blow; they all became corpses upon landing.

"stop!"

At this moment, the head of the Jiang family appeared.

Jiang Wenwu.

Standing beside him were a group of younger members of the Jiang family, including Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Hou; everyone was having a banquet.

"Shen Mo? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xiaoxiao recognized Shen Mo and roared, "Just because of my few sarcastic remarks that night, you came to my Jiang family to commit violence? Do you have any respect for the Divine Arrest Bureau or the law?"

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, does this file look familiar? Marquis Jiang murdered her husband and forced his wife to marry him; the evidence is irrefutable!"

Shen Mo revealed the case file to convince the Jiang family.

Jiang Xiaoxiao panicked immediately. Of course she recognized them. Those files related to the Jiang family were the ones she had hidden using her status as a top-notch police officer. How could she not recognize them?

Jiang Wenwu, who was originally about to lose his temper, had also heard of Shen Mo's fierce reputation, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Eunuch Shen, is there some misunderstanding? If there really is such a thing, I am willing to make compensation and befriend Eunuch Shen."

"Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be my friend."

Shen Mo's words directly humiliated Jiang Wenwu in front of everyone in the Jiang family, rubbing his face underfoot.

Jiang Wenwu clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and asked, "Eunuch Shen, can't you really give me some face? My daughter is still in the palace; she might even be able to help Eunuch Shen's official career."

"How much is your pride worth?" Shen Mo asked again.

To kill someone, first destroy their spirit.
