Chapter 110 Attack

In the evening.

Li An arrived at the door of Mo Rong's mansion. The servant boy in front of the door saw him and said enthusiastically:

"Manager Zuo, you are here."

Li An said: "Yes, Brother Xiao Zhang, is Mo Cixi at home today?"

Xiao Zhang said:

"Yes, but she is hosting a banquet for several big figures in the pavilion tonight. You probably have to wait, or come tomorrow?"

"No, Zuo does have some urgent matters. I will go to pay a visit after Mo Cixi's banquet is over."

Li An was not in a hurry.

"In a hurry? Then I will inform you?"

"No need. I will wait here for a while. After Mo Cixi's banquet is over, I will say a few words to her and leave."

"Well, Manager Zuo, please come in and sit first--"

The servant Xiao Zhang spoke enthusiastically and invited Li An into the small side room inside the door. Li An and Xiao Zhang chatted leisurely.

At first, when he was a candidate for treasure appraiser, Mo Rong was very cold to him, but after he chose to work in the treasure house, Mo Rong's attitude towards him became much better, and he could visit her from time to time.

The reason is very simple. When he was a candidate for treasure appraiser, getting close to him would hurt the feelings of Lu Hua and Zheng Xiaoxiao, but Li An took the initiative to give up the competition with the two, so she naturally did not have this burden.

On the contrary, Li An was the general manager of the treasure house, which was also a key position in the pavilion, and it was good to have an extra confidant.

Li An also had a very good relationship with the servants and maids in her house. The servant Xiao Zhang was especially favored by him, and at this moment he chatted with Li An.

Li An listened with a smile.

From Xiao Zhang, he learned that Mo Rong was hosting a banquet tonight for the two elders in the pavilion, Han Fang and Zhao Zhong.

In addition to the Pavilion Master, the Chief Treasure Appraiser and the three elders are the most honorable in the Treasure Pavilion. The current Chief Treasure Appraiser is approaching the end of his life and has only ten years left to live. He is about to be replaced.

The three senior treasure appraisers are fighting openly and secretly for promotion.

Mo Rong is naturally enthusiastic about winning over the elders.

Combined with Xiao Zhang's gossip, Li An repeatedly thought about it.

It was not until midnight that Mo Rong personally sent the two elders out.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries at the door for a long time before Han Fang and Zhao Zhong got in the car and left.

Seeing that the time had come, Xiao Zhang quickly walked out and whispered a few words in front of Mo Rong.

Mo Rong nodded.

Xiao Zhang ran back to the small side room and said, "Manager Zuo, the master agrees to see you."

Li An then walked out and saluted respectfully.

"Follow me."

Mo Rong said lightly.

Walked into her study. Mo Rong obviously drank a lot of wine. Her clothes were half-opened, revealing her snow-white shoulders. The smell of wine was mixed with a faint fragrance. She said:

"What's the emergency?"

Li An said:

"Report to the second-in-command Mo, something happened in the treasure house."

"Master Lu Hua seems to be targeted. Many of the problematic treasures he appraised may have been known by Xu Changkong——"

Hearing this, Mo Rong raised her eyebrows instantly!

Now in the competition for the chief treasure appraiser, her strongest opponent is Xu Changkong.

The two have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time.

And Lu Hua and Zheng Xiaoxiao are her confidants!

Is Xu Changkong going to start with Lu Hua? If Lu Hua has a handle and is caught by Xu Changkong, it will indeed be a troublesome matter.

"Speak carefully!"

She looked solemn. Li An immediately told everything:

"Reporting to Mr. Mo, I recently discovered that a subordinate named Zhang Qingqing in the treasure house has frequent contact with Xu Changkong's people."

"I secretly investigated and found that she actually gave all the treasures identified by Master Lu Hua to Lu Hua, and marked some treasures with emphasis."

"I found it strange, so I checked the treasures handled by Master Lu Hua one by one, and found that Master Lu Hua's problems... are very serious!"

Li An looked serious: "Four years ago, he identified and purchased a second-grade spiritual medicine as a second-grade spiritual medicine. Three years ago, he identified four first-grade refining materials at one time, but paid for them as second-grade materials..."

Li An said them one by one.

This is what he has done in the treasure house over the years.

Check!

He focused his attention on Zheng Xiaoxiao and Lu Hua. He carefully checked every treasure they handled and kept it in mind.

The treasure appraisers in the pavilion were not clean to begin with, and with his patient attention, these things naturally fell into his grasp.

In fact, in Li An's opinion, Lu Hua was still restrained, and the dirt on Zheng Xiaoxiao in Li An's hands was more powerful.

But the old man in Zheng Xiaoxiao's family was not dead yet, and he was still deeply rooted in the pavilion.

Lu Hua's grandfather died first.

So, beat Lu Hua!

This way there was the least resistance.

And listening to his explanation, Mo Rong's eyes were filled with surprise.

The treasures that Li An mentioned were extremely easy to make a fuss about, such as the second-grade and second-grade spiritual medicine snow lotus that time, not to mention ordinary people, even treasure appraisers could hardly distinguish.

Only those who were in charge of appraising elixirs had such knowledge.

And Li An talked freely, and all of them hit the nail on the head.

This proved...

Li An had a vision that was not inferior to that of a real treasure appraiser.

She couldn't help but nod secretly. She was deeply impressed by Li An's ability and knowledge back then, and now she felt that Li An was extraordinary.

It seems that during these years in the treasure house, he must have never relaxed his study of treasure appraisal knowledge.

However, she also thought in her heart that Li An deliberately went to the treasure house to work, could it be for today? !

Retreat to advance, wait for the opportunity, like a lurking cheetah, when Lu Hua's weakness is fully exposed, suddenly jump out and kill with one blow?

If this is true... Li An is too patient!

His patience is so terrible that she feels scared.

Li An came to her to take Lu Hua down and create an opportunity for himself to rise to the top?

She couldn't help but hesitate in her heart. The problems Li An mentioned could be big or small, and it all depends on whether she is willing to protect Lu Hua once.

If she protects Lu Hua, Li An will have no chance in the future.

If she doesn't protect him, let Li An replace Lu Hua's position!

Choose one of the two?

But, is Li An worthy of such a thing?

"None of the above is the biggest problem..."

But Li An said solemnly:

"The most terrible thing is that the batch of 'fetal soul grass' he collected recently also has problems. The proportion of inferior products is as high as 30%!"

As soon as these words came out, Mo Rong's face changed immediately, "He actually dared to tamper with the fetal soul grass!"

She was really shocked.

Collecting fetal soul grass has been an important task of the Treasure Pavilion in the past six months.

And she knew that this batch of materials... was required by the palace.

The collection results of this batch of materials are even an important consideration in deciding who will take the top position between her and Xu Changkong.

There was a problem with this batch of spiritual medicines, and Xu Changkong caught the handle... If Xu Changkong directly reported it to the palace or the pavilion master, even she, Mo Rong, would be implicated.

If the palace is angry, the Treasure Pavilion can't bear it at all.

Because, the Tianyang Palace is the biggest backer of the Treasure Pavilion!

However, if Xu Changkong knew about this, would he not seize such a good opportunity and give Mo Rong a heavy blow?

"Did Xu Changkong know about this batch of spiritual medicine?"

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous!

And Li An nodded heavily, "Yes."

"It's all my fault. I found out too late. I didn't expect them to reach out to the treasure house and plant spies here..."

He sighed, "Mo Cixi, this matter is extremely urgent, so Zuo Wen rushed here without stopping after investigating it. Please Mo Cixi act with discretion!"
