C84 Gui Hou tried to listen to the decree given to him by the Brightmoon Restaurant.

After Mo Jingtian left, it had been more than five days since then, and a black clothed man carrying a horse had arrived at Hangzhou City. This man was Zhu Di's personal censor's history, suppressing Gui Hou.

Li Wenyuan naturally came to Hangzhou to investigate the matter of the Emperor Sword being stolen.

Not long after, he arrived at the Brightmoon Restaurant and bought four words of information, "God Thief of Mice and Gods."

When he saw these four words, he immediately understood. Although he had lived in seclusion for ten years and hadn't set foot in the martial arts world for a long time, he had heard of the name 'God Thief Rat' before.

"God Thief Rat" was a nickname that people in the martial arts world called him, because he stole people's possessions. It was something he used to call himself when he was young, and his real name was Jin Bao. This man was a bandit in the martial arts world. Over the years, the imperial government had placed a bounty on him, but he always managed to escape. However, he was only going to steal those local tyrants and scoundrels, as well as those corrupt officials. As for the commoners, he had never tried to steal from them before.

Li Wenyuan thought to himself, maybe Brightmoon Restaurant guessed right, in the martial arts world, only the little mouse could have such abilities. However, he did not know why the little mouse would take such a huge risk and head to the imperial palace to steal the Emperor Sword. If one were to say that this person sought wealth and was bribed by others, then the world would be filled with wealthy people. With his abilities, he would naturally be able to come and go as he pleased. If it was a picture sword, it would be extremely useful to him. However, he did not know what it could be used for, but it could be used to fight with his life. He was puzzled.

However, he had no choice but to do what the Emperor asked him to do. Right now, the only clue was perhaps this mouse god thief. However, he didn't know how to find Jiang Hu in his reckless state. Li Wenyuan shook his head and thought in his heart, "Why don't I go to my master and ask him about it? Maybe he has a way."

With that thought, Li Wenyuan no longer hesitated and brought his horse out of Hangzhou.

When he had just left Hangzhou, he heard the sound of gongs on the official road. A group of Jinyiwei s escorted a eunuch who was riding a horse to Hangzhou, while the Lord Prefect of Hangzhou led all the officials of different sizes to hurriedly welcome him. He stood beside his father-in-law and said, "Thank you for your hard work, your father-in-law has worked hard."

That eunuch said, "Lead the way."

The Prefect hurriedly agreed.

For some reason, the group of people did not head for the government office. Instead, they arrived outside the Bright Moon Garden.

Housekeeper Liu and the four people at the door have never seen such a scene before, but Housekeeper Liu is an elderly man after all, so he quickly cupped his fists and bowed to them with a smile, and said: "I wonder what business does Eunuch and the other Masters have with my Brightmoon Restaurant?" With that, he waved his hand and a young man rushed into the garden to report to him.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Hurry up and ask your tower lord to come out and receive it." The eunuch said.

Housekeeper Liu was suspicious, the matters of the martial arts world have never been under the control of the imperial government, but today, the imperial edict has somehow reached the Brightmoon Restaurant.

Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly invited the group of people in.

Just as everyone entered the garden, they saw a group of people walking out from the Brightmoon Restaurant. The person in the lead was the current master of the Brightmoon Restaurant, Feng Mingyue.

Not long after, the two groups of people bumped into each other.

The Brightmoon Restaurant had always been on good terms with the officials, so Feng Mingyue was naturally extremely familiar with the Prefect, and quickly bowed: "The little girl, Brightmoon Restaurant Pavilion Master Feng Mingyue greets the two Masters."

Seeing that, he hurriedly introduced him to the eunuch: "Eunuch, this is the lord of the Brightmoon Restaurant."

The eunuch nodded and said: "Brightmoon Restaurant accepts the decree."

Feng Mingyue felt suspicious in her heart. Looking at the Prefect, she shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

However, since he was a messenger from the Emperor's Imperial Sect, Feng Mingyue had no choice but to accept the order.

Under Feng Mingyue's lead, the people of Brightmoon Restaurant kneeled on the ground.

The eunuch then took out an imperial edict from his bosom and spread it out: "With the blessing of the heavens, the Emperor has decreed that from today onwards, the 'Brightmoon Restaurant' shall be changed to the 'Bright Moon Hall', which belongs to the Jinyiwei. Under the supervision of the Guardian Division, the Lord of the Brightmoon Restaurant will temporarily take the place of the Vice Hall Master. As for the position of hall master, I will make other arrangements. "Here it is."

When Feng Mingyue heard the imperial edict, she was shocked. If she were to accept it, the Brightmoon Restaurant would be under the imperial government, and wouldn't have a foothold in the martial arts world. However, if she did not accept the decree, it would be a heinous crime to resist the decree.

"This …" Feng Mingyue hesitated. She thought for a moment, then said to her father-in-law: "In reply to Eunuch, may Eunuch please inform His Majesty. I am afraid my Brightmoon Restaurant cannot accept this decree."

"Could it be that you want to defy the decree?" the eunuch shouted angrily.

"Reporting to Eunuch, it is not that we want to go against the decree, it is that our Brightmoon Restaurant is in the martial arts world. Over the years, we have relied on the martial arts world to sell information, it can be considered as accumulating some prestige. If my Brightmoon Restaurant was just like that, given the position of being under the control of the imperial government, not only would I not be able to help the imperial government, I would even attract the suspicion of the people of the martial arts world. This was not good for the peace of the martial arts world, nor for the peace of the world. "May Eunuch please inform the Emperor that he may withdraw his order."

The reason why Feng Mingyue said that, was because she didn't know if there was still room for manoeuvre, because once Brightmoon Restaurant entered the imperial court, she would become a imperial eagle dog. The reason why the Brightmoon Restaurant was able to buy and sell information in the martial arts world was because the various sects and clans did not know what methods the Brightmoon Restaurant had used to arrange for the spies and even Shaolin Wu Dang was unable to escape. Furthermore, the spies of the Brightmoon Restaurant and various sects would have special methods to pass on information. Even though the spies of the Brightmoon Restaurant were known by all the sects, none of the sects were able to find out. If the Brightmoon Restaurant were to be used by the imperial government, some secret information regarding each sect and their schemes would be known by the imperial government! And the Brightmoon Restaurant would not be tolerated by the people of the martial arts world, how could Feng Mingyue agree to that?

Hearing that, the eunuch smiled and said: "Stand up! "Get up!"

Brightmoon Restaurant and the rest stood up.

"When he came, the emperor told me that if Brightmoon Restaurant doesn't want to work for the imperial government, there's no need to force it. However, the Emperor has a message for me to tell the Tower Lord, the Emperor says that if the Tower Lord comes to a conclusion, the imperial government will welcome you at any time. Alright, Lord Qian, don't you want to bring me to your residence for a drink? " The eunuch said.

When Qian Yongniang, the prefect of Hangzhou, heard this, he hurriedly agreed and said, "Eunuch, please, please."

The eunuch turned around and led everyone out of the garden.

Feng Mingyue looked at the retreating back of the court, and stood there in a daze.

Cheng Runyue pulled Feng Mingyue and asked: "What is elder sister thinking?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that this matter is not that simple!" Feng Mingyue said.

"Sister, isn't this alright? Didn't the Emperor not force us? " Cheng Runyue said.

"Let's go. Fourth Sister, come with me. You and I still need to report this to Mother." Zhou Haiyue said.

Only then did the two of them reach the deepest courtyard in the Brightmoon Restaurant, only to see the old lady, Yang Dongliu, leaning on a chair.

Feng Mingyue anxiously stepped forward, and both of them informed her of the news.

Yang Dongliu waved his hand, and said: "It's fine, the matters of the martial arts world, is not under the control of the imperial government. The imperial government had never cared about matters of the martial arts world. It's just an act! "

Finished speaking, she closed her eyes, while Feng Mingyue and Cheng Runyue looked at each other, bowed lightly, and then took her leave.
