Rong Changan didn't find Yan Li until he reached the gate of the palace, so he probably went to find the mastermind behind the scenes!
Still asked politely, "Yan Yushi, where did you go?"
Lin Hai, the imperial guard, replied, "Yan Yushi said that he has urgent personal matters to deal with, and he returned to Beijing last night."
With a clear understanding, she got into the queen's car and went back to the palace with high spirits.
At this time, Yan Li came to the door of Mu Xiang's house. Looking at the three big and glittering golden characters, Mu Xiangfu.
"Young master Yan, you are here! Are you here to see the master?" The porter greeted Yan Li familiarly.
"Yes, is sir at home?" Yan Li was not polite at all, threw the reins to the porter, ran in and rushed directly into Muxiang's garden.
"It's here, it's here!" Yan Li had already run away, and the concierge was still courting him.
Muxiang is the head of the hundred officials, and he has followed the literature for generations. The boss works in the household department and follows the third rank. The second child was sent to Renzhi Prefecture, Fujian Province, and the third child was out of character, and now he is only a county magistrate. Concubine Mu is the eldest daughter who was carefully raised by the elders.
When Yan Li came in, Mu Xiang was fiddling with a chess game of black and white pieces at the table, his brows were full of thought.
Muxiang was in his sixties, with gray hair and wrinkled face, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were full of wisdom and vicissitudes.
"Sir!" Yan Li hurriedly saluted and greeted his teacher when he saw his mentor.
"It's Yan Li, why are you here? Why didn't you rest for a few days when you just returned to Beijing?" Minister Mu asked Yan Li with concern, obviously the two had a good relationship.
"It's all good. After I came back, I was busy with other things. I just came to visit my husband today." After speaking, he looked around and found that there was no one.
"Is there something wrong?" Mu Xiang's expression was full of leisure, like an ordinary old man.
"Sir, yesterday morning, the Queen and I went to the military camp and were assassinated on Dengshi Street. Fifty men in black didn't have any marks on their bodies, and they were all very good fighters!"
"Assassination?" Mu Xiang didn't even lift his eyelids.
After a while, Mu Xiang raised his head and asked, "You came here to tell me this on purpose, does it have anything to do with me?"
"Later we escaped to the barracks, and all the soldiers in the barracks were poisoned, and none survived."
Mu Xiang's calm expression finally broke, and he frowned, "And then?"
"Lin Hai, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, took people to investigate and found an address. The house deed of the government office says it is the house of Liu San, the housekeeper of the big house of the Mu family."
"It's not sure that it has something to do with my Mu family?"
"Lin Hai was still in the secret room, and found a note with the words "Shu Li" on it. I'm sure it's the words of the eldest brother. Look!" Yan Li is in favor with Rong Chang'an this time, so he must tell everything clear. He hurriedly took out half of the note and showed it to Mu Xiang.
"Boss?" Mu Xiang looked at the note, confirmed that the handwriting was indeed that of the eldest son, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Mu Xiang looked at Yan Li, Yan Li's expression remained unchanged and he let the teacher scrutinize him, "Are you here to be a lobbyist?"
At this time, his aura is more like the head of the hundred officials.
"Yes, teacher. The queen promised me to give me a chance to explain this matter. As long as she is satisfied, she will not care about it. She still wants someone, Chen Lin. It is someone from her barracks." Yan Li requested He said, he didn't want his mentor to conflict with Rong Chang'an.
"Your elder brother is too radical. I didn't agree to let Rong Yi enter the palace at the beginning, but it's a foregone conclusion when I come back from business. I will deal with this matter, and I will give you news later!"
Yan Li worried that his husband would worry about this matter, so he said worriedly.
"Okay, sir. How are you doing recently?" The sixty-year-old man still has to deal with so many government affairs and worry about family affairs, which is exhausting enough.
"Fortunately, the family has been handed over to your eldest brother, and the government affairs are not too busy. Your second and third brothers are far away. I originally thought that you and your eldest brother would support each other, but you two have different personalities. Hey, you should be more careful Bar!"
Mu Xiang's idea is very good, but both of them don't like each other. Neither did he!
"Sir, then I'll go back first, and I'll go back to Empress Empress when I have news."
"Are you walking very close to the empress?"
"No, the emperor asked me to accompany the empress to the barracks." Yan Li told the truth.
Mu Xiang didn't know whether to believe it or not, but he just reminded, "She is in the harem, you are a foreign minister, so be careful!"
"Yes, sir."
This student is also old and knows how to measure, so he shouldn't have to worry about it, so he let Yan Li go.
"Come on, call the uncle over!"
After a while, scholars with square faces came in, "Daddy, are you calling me?"
A teacup was thrown at the boss's head with a whoosh, the blood overflowed and flowed all over his face, he looked terrified!
The majestic third-rank official outside, and the little rabbit who behaves in front of his father's wooden face.
"Father, what's the matter?" The boss was full of doubts, could it be that his father found out about that matter? Shouldn't it
Mu Xiang didn't even bother to argue with his eldest son, he was too ambitious and lacking in intelligence, and he didn't know how he raised such a stupid son.
"Look at the paper on the table yourself." Mu Xiang finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
The boss looked up at his father, saw that his anger was a little less, and then slowly came over to see the things on the table.
It turned out to be this note
His heart was turning a thousand times, and he couldn't admit it! Don't admit it!
"Father, what is this? Why are there only two words? Half of it was burned!" He picked it up and turned it over and over again, seemingly looking for something carefully.
"Kneel down!"
Mu Xiang's lungs were blown by the eldest son's anger, this is really a debt collector!
The boss knelt on the ground for a long time before Mu Xiang began to speak, "You sent fifty dead soldiers to assassinate the queen? Then you poisoned and murdered her one hundred thousand troops in the barracks? Is that so?"
Questions that don’t need answering at all, yes!
"yes."
"Are you trying to have your family ransacked and your family wiped out?" Mu Xiang was furious.
"Father, I'm not thinking about our family!" The boss is indeed thinking about his own family, and for his daughter's success!
"Confused! Really confused!" Mu Xiang wanted to say a few words, but he couldn't say a word!
"Father, I really think about our family! Think about it, if Rong Changan dies and the army of one hundred thousand is gone, then my daughter is not just a noble concubine? Rong Changan has no talent, no virtue and no background, why should I do this?" Empress? And my daughter can only be a noble concubine!"
One wrong step, one wrong step!
"You resign from His Majesty tomorrow, and then say that you will go back to your hometown to repair your ancestor's grave. The Emperor should agree."
"No, I'm not going back."
"Rong Chang'an already knows that you assassinated her, and meddling in the army is tantamount to rebellion. Don't you want our whole family to be buried with me? The emperor thinks of my hard work, please spare your life!"
"How did that woman know? How is it possible?"
"I heard that the poison only caused them diarrhea, and they have been cured! And the Imperial Forest Army also found your butler Liu San on the head."
"How could it be? I asked him to play the Hedinghong who saw the blood seal! No one died!" Boss Mu staggered to the ground, and the army camp was fine, so he had no chance of winning!
With a gray face and a desperate expression, Boss Mu was listening to Minister Mu's arrangement in a daze, and was about to resign and return to his hometown to avoid disaster!
