Blossom in Adversity

Chapter 261: Dog bites dog

Views:

Mu Yunyang could have been in power for so many years, so he couldn't be a fool. He ignored his wife who was usually pampered, and looked at the woman wearing a veil hat with a serious expression. This was the General Manager's Mansion, and if she had the confidence to go to the General Manager's Mansion to cause trouble, the other party must be no pushover.

Mu Yunyang bowed and saluted gracefully, "I don't know why you are here, young lady. If my ignorant brother-in-law offends you, I will apologize to you on his behalf. You can tell me what to do."

Zheng Bei's eyes bulged and he was about to speak, but Zheng quickly covered his mouth and shook her head at him.

"Old man and young wife, Manager Mu is living a happy life."

Mu Yunyang said calmly and without showing any fear, "It was just a coincidence. I believe that there is nothing I cannot say to others, and I married my wife in an upright manner."

Shaoyao sneered, "Manager Mu, you must remember this sentence."

Mu Yunyang frowned slightly, wondering for a moment what she wanted him to remember. The officials were really clean. Could it be that she really wanted to hold him by the tail? The sound of horse hooves came from far away. It was Yu Tao who was running in the front. He jumped off the horse before it stopped and let the horse run away. This move frightened the group of people. The people behind stopped their horses before getting off.

After seeing who the person was, Mu Yunyang's eyelids twitched violently. Who was this person to be able to invite Li Shiren here

Li Shiren was dressed in casual clothes. After recognizing the person, he went straight to Shaoyao and said, "I, your humble general, Li Shiren, greet you."

"Okay, everyone is here."

No one dared to watch the excitement in the General Manager's Mansion openly, but more and more people were paying attention to this place secretly. Mu Yunyang saw this and knew that today would not be a good day. He winked at the butler beside him, and the butler understood and signaled the palace soldiers to go and clear the place.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the people here moved, the whips came from the other side, and they were all thrown into the gate of the General Manager's Mansion with one whip. From the noise, it was clear that a lot of force was used.

"Butler Mu just said that there is nothing that can't be told to others, so why not let everyone hear it." Shaoyao's voice was smiling, but she was clearly exuding coldness from time to time. People who knew her knew that such a Shaoyao must not be provoked. Yu Tao and Wang Cheng retreated slightly without leaving a trace.

Shaoyao walked towards the person closest to her and used the end of her whip to lift up his lowered head. "General Li, come and identify me."

Li Shiren took a look with gritted teeth. As soon as he saw these people, he knew what had happened to Qi Susi. "They are from Yixinying."

"Glad that you dare to admit it. I respect you, General Li, for being a real man." Shaoyao sneered, "Since they are from Yixinying, can General Li give me an explanation as to why they became members of the Zheng family and helped Zhengbei to cause trouble?"

Li Shiren replied stubbornly, "They are going to Zhenyang to carry out a mission..."

"By order of General Lee?"

“…” Li Shiren didn’t dare to agree to this no matter what. Once he agreed, it would become his fault even if it wasn’t his fault. What’s more, he felt guilty about this matter.

Shaoyao asked, "But it's General Li's order?"

Li Shiren looked at Mu Yunyang, hoping that he would take over the conversation, but Mu Yunyang turned his head away, as if he was talking to the housekeeper.

"General Li, are you expecting others to share your burden? Isn't it the best thing for you officials to protect yourself?" Shaoyao played with the whip. "I'll ask you one last time. Are these people going to Zhenyang on the orders of General Li?"

Li Shiren gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

"Don't want to tell me? No problem, just ask someone else. Steward Mu, are these people going to Zhenyang on your orders?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Mu Yunyang's mind, but he didn't slow down at all, "I wonder what identity the young lady has in asking these questions."

Shaoyao took out the token and threw it over. The upward side landed right in front of Mu Yunyang. Mu Yunyang looked at the token and his mind suddenly went blank. Qisusi! It was actually Qisusi!

"Speak back!" Shaoyao's patience ran out, and her hand holding the whip was ready to move.

Mu Yunyang took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat. He didn't even glance at Li Shiren and said in a deep voice, "I dare not lie. The soldiers were indeed sent by me. My brother-in-law is a troublemaker. We settled down in Jiangling, but he kept causing trouble. I had no choice but to send him back to Zhenyang. I was afraid that he would cause more trouble than usual, so I sent soldiers to supervise him. But those soldiers... I really don't know what's going on!"

Shaoyao immediately laughed, "Oh? Not sent by you?"

"No, I don't have the power to mobilize the barracks."

Li Shiren clenched his fists. He didn't expect that Mu Yunyang would dare to push everything onto him. How brave! Whoever is afraid will come!

Li Shiren clasped his fists and said in a clear voice, "I did get your consent to send troops to Zhenyang, but it was Chief Steward Mu who made this request. He said that there were several major forces in Zhenyang that were not easy to mess with. Since Zhengbei had returned, he had to put on a show and make a big show so that the locals would not dare to look down on him. About three months later, I asked him for people, but he said that since there was no war, it didn't matter where the people were, so he refused me..."

"Nonsense, there is no such thing!" As soon as Mu Yunyang finished speaking, a long whip followed and wrapped around him like a spirit. Before he could react, the long whip had been withdrawn and his official robe fell to the ground.

"Go on."

"Yes." Li Shiren looked at Mu Yunyang and felt relieved. His voice was a little louder. "Later, I asked for it several times, but he always made excuses. I was planning to send someone to bring him back immediately, but I didn't expect..."

"General Li, have you forgotten that these people were not borrowed for nothing?" Mu Yunyang was already in trouble, so he didn't want to see Li Shiren get away with it so cleanly. He immediately said sarcastically, "Master Li, you can't be tired of your new wife and ignore her origins. I have provided convenience to General Li many times. Miss, you can check how many officials in the General Administration Office have the surname Li."

Li Shiren knew that if they continued like this, both sides would suffer. However, when Mu Yunyang only wanted to protect himself and wanted to push him into trouble, there was no way this matter could be resolved peacefully. He simply threw in more words, "I also remember how many of Mu's men are in Yixin Camp!"

Good, really good! Civil officials and military generals can penetrate each other so easily!

Shaoyao first whipped Mu Yunyang, and then whipped Li Shiren, knocking him to the ground.

Li Shiren subconsciously held down his weapon, turned over and stood up in an attacking posture. Yu Tao and Wang Cheng immediately stood in front of Shaoyao, and the Chen Zhen brothers over there also tightly protected the Sixth Prince in the middle.

The Sixth Prince pushed the two of them away. He wanted to see what the officials of the Daqing Dynasty looked like outside the imperial palace and in the Nine Provinces.
