Mo Qiang's words made the official's face flush red with sha. She wanted to say sothing but dared not to breathe a single word. Instead, she peered at Fu Beichou when she saw that the woman was indeed looking a bit dissatisfied; the official cursed Mo Qiang for speaking too much.
It was fine that she wanted to defend herself; why did she have to say such harsh words? The official forgot that just now, when she was blaming Mo Qiang, she was actually cursing her and even asking her to be hanged to death.
Compared to that, Mo Qiang was still quite polite with her.
"Do you have sothing to say, Official Po?" Fu Beichou asked the official, who lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything. How dare she say that she had so objections when asked so directly? She could only lower her head and say that she didn't have any.
However, as she looked at Mo Qiang, Official Po couldn't help but glare at her a few tis. She really could not understand why Mo Qiang looked so relaxed. Did she really have a plan to turn this situation around?
That shouldn't have been the case.
She recalled the things Wei Yunrou said to her and cald down. Everything would be fine. Mo Qiang might be smart but she wasn't an omnipotent woman. There was no way she would be able to deal with this matter, right?
Right!
Official Po cald down but she couldn't suppress the thudding of her heart and continued to look at Mo Qiang with a nervous look in her eyes. She hoped that whatever evidence or proof Mo Qiang had would turn out to be a fluke.
"Your Highness," Mo Qiang turned to look at Fu Beichou with an expression so demure that it made the woman's facial muscles twitch. She had to admit that she had never seen a woman whose expression changed so easily and swiftly.
Mo Qiang had no idea that she was being held in contempt. With her eyes filled with tears, she lowered her head and spoke in a quivering voice, "I know that I promised that I would bring the fa and finances to the fief, and I swear that I wanted to do it as well, but then..."
She sighed and continued, "But then I thought about it and realised that more than money and food, what the people of this fief needed was a chance for survival. As well as the ones living in the Imperial Star!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire court turned silent. So looked disdainful, while so were contemptuous, but those who knew Mo Qiang well were certain that the woman didn't say these things for no reason.
However, no matter what they thought, they all eyed Mo Qiang carefully. As if they were waiting for her to finally drop the bomb that she was cradling in her arms.
"What do you an by chance for survival?" Fu Beichou asked. Though she already knew that Mo Qiang might have discovered sothing, she still wanted to play along with the woman and see what was going on.
Mo Qiang had been waiting for this question. She raised her head and looked at Fu Beichou with a smile on her lips.
While kneeling on the floor with her hands tied behind her, Mo Qiang stated in a calm voice, "Your Highness, when was the last ti the fabric quality that was being sold and exported was checked?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the official who was in charge of checking the quality stiffened. He turned to look at Mo Qiang and hoped that it was not what he thought it was.
But the official had no idea that it was indeed what he hoped it wasn't.
Mo Qiang raised a corner of her mouth and stated with a calm voice, "You might not be aware of this, your highness, but the quality of the dye that is being used in the fabric has dropped to the point that it is leaving B52 disease-causing elents on the clothes. You might have heard about the symptoms appearing in the young as well as the children; it is because of this!"
"Lies!" the official who was in charge of checking the quality couldn't stand still; he looked at Mo Qiang as if he were looking at a monster. He thought that he had kept this matter hidden quite well but this woman—this terrifying woman.
She actually knew everything!
How did she? How did she find out the truth?
Mo Qiang sneered when she saw the panic-stricken look on the face of the man. How could she not know such a simple thing? The second she made a fuss in the academy, she knew that so officials who were aligned with the Long family would definitely cause trouble for her.
Long Ju was no longer a threat to her. That woman would never be able to cause trouble for her even if she wanted to, and since that was the case, the Long family would definitely cause trouble for her by joining hands with the other families.
Thus, Mo Qiang was long prepared!
She wanted to create a decent excuse for growing cotton and silk. However, she was worried that she wouldn't find it. After all, the quality of the fabric was checked again and again.
She was even prepared to push her body and grow so bananas, leeks, spring onions, and peanuts, as well as soybeans on the land. But who would have thought that before she could push her body, Xiao An would tell her a secret?
The fabric that she was wearing had B52 agents. A disease that was no worse than Zerg poison. When Mo Qiang thought that these officials were being so careless, she decided to put a halt on her other plans and decided that she was going to teach these bastards a lesson for those who were suffering from B52 disease.
All because of their shaless greed!
Now that she had finally gotten her hands on this opportunity, even if she was handcuffed, she was going to deal with these officials thoroughly.
