Sun You began to pretend to be mute. He really didn't know how to explain these things to his brother-in-law.
The Dugu family was so angry that she was determined to avenge her son. She glanced at everyone with wide eyes, and finally settled on Ji Huaizhang. She said loudly: "Now that the matter has come to this, what is the use of asking the governor again? Now
The imperial court has become suspicious of you, do you want to see the Ji family fall into a place of no return?"
"What does Mrs. Dugu mean by this?"
There was a trace of doubt in Ji Huaizhang's eyes: "The Mu family is full of loyal people, could it be that Mrs. Dugu still wants to rebel?"
"The slave family naturally does not have the courage, but the hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable."
Dugu's face turned pale: "As long as the Governor turns a blind eye today and leaves the Ji family and the Zhao family's caravan in Zhoukang County, our Mu family is still willing to follow the Governor's lead."
"But if I am unwilling to submit, what will happen to Madam Dugu?"
Ji Huaizhang snorted disdainfully: "Does the old lady still want to murder the imperial official without permission?"
"I'm afraid it's not up to the governor."
The Dugu clan looked around at the Mu Mansion's private troops who were gathering in formation everywhere, and felt confident:
"Anyway, this is not the first time. I think the governor has been too busy doting on the flowers and birds in his house these years to interfere with the government affairs of the state. The Tingwei Shi Luhuan and the county supervisor Xia Yuan who were killed a while ago were even inspected by Tanzhou.
The Nu family thinks that not only General Rong Heng is curious about how the new Ting Wei Fang Qingyue and the officials who were killed earlier years died, but you, the Governor, are also very curious, right?"
"Mrs. Dugu knows who did it?"
Ji Huaizhang has been troubled by these murder cases. Now that Dugu mentioned it, he wanted to know the whereabouts of the murderer immediately.
Dugu glanced at Sun You who looked frightened with interest: "Then you have to ask your brother-in-law carefully."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar around him.
The doubts in Ji Rongheng's heart were suddenly solved, he nodded repeatedly and said: "I see."
"What does General Rong Heng mean?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at his expression and asked quickly.
Ji Rongheng replied truthfully: "Oh, Japan will receive a message today, saying that clues about the murders of Lu Huan and Xia Yuan can be found in Zhoukang County, and a lot of evidence of Mu Liulang's murder of people was also presented. I will hold a
I rushed here non-stop with the idea of finding out, and I never expected that I would actually find the whereabouts. It was really a worthwhile trip."
"So it seems that the people responsible for the murders in various villages over the years must be inseparable from Grand Administrator Sun?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at Ji Huaizhang meaningfully.
Ji Huaizhang immediately became furious and glared at Sun You with wide-open eyes.
Sun You was so frightened that he trembled all over: "Brother-in-law, these officials deserve to die for disrespecting you. If I don't get rid of them for you, they will bring trouble to Tanzhou sooner or later."
"you"
Ji Huaizhang was so angry that he gasped. He never expected that his seemingly honest and honest brother-in-law would actually do so many evil things without telling him over the years.
Sun Li hurriedly advised: "Now that the matter is over, uncle, please follow Madam Dugu's advice and leave General Rong Heng and the Zhao family caravan to her. As long as we do it secretly, no one will be able to detect it."
Arrived."
"fart."
Ji Huaizhang became so angry that he uttered foul language.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Dugu's loud voice immediately overshadowed his voice: "Prefect Sun, why don't you ask the governor to come back to your house?"
"Let's see who dares."
Seeing the crowds everywhere, Chu Nanzhi immediately took off his turban, quickly peeled off the camouflage makeup on his face, and shouted sternly: "I am here, who dares to make a mistake."
Li Sanmu followed closely behind, firing fireworks signals into the air while taking out the imperial talisman from his arms: "Li Sanmu, the commander of the Forbidden Army's Xiaoqi Battalion, went west with the Queen to thoroughly investigate the Tanzhou murder case. Anyone who dares to commit the following crimes will be punished on the spot.
kill."
Seeing the sudden changes in the city and the delicate face of Chu Nanzhi slowly revealed in front of their eyes, everyone was shocked.
Sun Huai looked at the "virtuous brother" next to him in stunned silence and hesitated: "You, you are the queen?"
Thinking back on the conversations I had had with her these days, I suddenly felt something bad and was so frightened that I immediately collapsed to the ground.
Chu Nanzhi lowered her head and glanced at Sun Huai, who was sweating all over. She was able to successfully obtain so much information thanks to this greasy uncle. She didn't want to embarrass this man, so she asked Ma Laifu to help him up.
Ji Huaizhang, Sun You, and Sun Li were also puzzled by the Queen's sudden appearance in Dangyang City, and knelt down in confusion. At this time, Sun You and Sun Li lowered their heads with guilty conscience and did not dare to speak.
"Where is my one million taels of silver note?"
Chu Nanzhi was most concerned about the whereabouts of the silver delivered yesterday. If the father and son were raising military pay, then his money would be helping the evildoers.
"Already, it has been sent to the state capital."
Sun You glanced at Ji Huaizhang, trembling all over.
"When did I ask you to ask for silver from the Queen?"
Ji Huaizhang was confused when he heard this.
Sun You didn't dare to speak too clearly, and replied vaguely: "Yes, it was the eldest sister who asked me to sell the land in my hands to help my brother-in-law relieve the disaster."
"That's nonsense."
Ji Huaizhang kowtowed in fear and said: "I am guilty of not running the family strictly, which has caused the queen to suffer losses. When I return to the house, I will immediately ask my concubine to return all the silver."
"If it is really for the purpose of relieving the victims, I will admit it."
Chu Nanzhi lowered his head and stared thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that my uncle didn't use this money for disaster relief."
"I never have two minds."
Ji Huaizhang knew that he was being exploited and indirectly committed a serious crime, so he begged sincerely: "I am willing to accept the punishment."
Only then did the Dugu family realize that they had caused a huge disaster. Seeing a steady stream of guards pouring into the city, they immediately took an overwhelming advantage. Knowing that they could not resist this sudden decline, they began to cry bitterly again.
awful:
"Please ask the queen to make the decision for my son."
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chu Nanzhi became angry and rebuked: "You call the shots? Madam Dugu is really big-hearted? Do you want me to continue to protect your mother and son for your majesty and the court, who are so domineering and do all kinds of evil?"
Recalling this woman's unscrupulous expression just now, Chu Nanzhi felt even more angry: "Didn't Madam Dugu think that this ignorant village woman of mine wants to deliberately suppress noble families like you? Then I will help you today.
Not only for the Chu family, but also for the poor people who have been oppressed by your Mu family these years."
"How can the Queen be so arrogant as she is a mother to the world?"
In a state of panic, the Dugu family immediately picked up the bloody iron certificate of the alchemy book: "My Mu family has the iron certificate given by the great ancestor. No matter how big a mistake is, it will not lead to death. If the queen wants to protect you today,
The evil Ji family killed my son, and I will demand an explanation when I get to the imperial court."
Ji Rongheng did not want to implicate the queen because of this incident, so he quickly knelt down and prayed: "The last general was reckless and killed Mu Liulang. I am willing to pay for the sin with my life for Liulang of the Mu family."
