Several clan elders said nothing, and Mrs. Jun became a little anxious.
"Everyone, tell me something. My Jun clan lives in the southwestern border. We should work together as a family to ensure the prosperity of our clan. If we were scattered, we would have been swallowed up by other clans long ago!"
One clan elder couldn't help but reply: "We should be of one heart and one mind, but we should also distinguish the reasons. As the leader of a clan, you condone your son to do such things. How can you let us be of one mind with your family? This is Yunnan
, not the Central Plains. The entire Yunnan is under the jurisdiction of Mu Mansion."
No matter how prosperous the Jun clan is, can they go head-to-head with the Mu Mansion, which controls 300,000 soldiers?
Several clan elders looked at each other and nodded. Even if they had some courage, they would not dare to confront Mu Mansion.
Do they have the men and soldiers or the money?
And this time it was clearly Jun Mingzhang who was so bold and reckless that he dared to attack the Crown Prince’s wife! This was playing with fire!
This is a matter for the patriarch and his family, what does it have to do with them? Why should they allow themselves to share their anger against the prince?
"You!" Mrs. Jun was very angry.
"Don't forget, if my daughter hadn't married into the Mu family, how could the Jun family be as prosperous as it is now. Now that you have enjoyed the benefits of the clan, this is the time to unite as one and be united in dealing with the outside world. As long as our clan is of one mind, our surname is Mu
Our son can’t do anything to us! How dare he, a prince who stayed in Beijing as a hostage, stand up to our clan!”
"Why doesn't he dare? Don't forget, although Mu Yan is the crown prince who stayed in Beijing as a hostage, he was crowned crown prince by the emperor himself. And he has a whole private army of guards in his hands! Let's unite our clans and join forces.
There are not so many people here."
"That's right, we don't dare to confront him head-on. If it was Prince Mu who was rude this time, we could still argue with him, and even join forces with our relatives and friends to fight him, but this time it's clear that Mingzhang is messing around.
, it fell into his hands."
The Jun family will also use various means to achieve their goals outside, but they will not do such things as robbing people's wives and children.
Mingzhang's behavior this time is shameful.
"No. Mingzhang is acting recklessly. Why do we want our clan to confront the Mu family?"
Some people who couldn't stand the behavior of the patriarch's family spoke out one after another.
"Moreover, Prince Mu said that he didn't want to involve innocent people, as long as the clan punished the principal offender and the accomplices. Moreover, he gave us enough face and only let our clan handle it, and did not send troops to arrest anyone."
"Yes, as the direct eldest son of the clan, Mingzhang has enjoyed the wealth and honor of the clan since he was a child. He does not say that he should sacrifice for the clan in normal times, but says that this incident happened because of him. If he is the only one to be held accountable, he should dare to do it.
If you dare to go out and plead guilty, you can keep my family safe, why can't you do it?"
Mr. Jun was very angry when he saw that everyone was asking him to hand over Mingzhang and wanted the clan to deal with Mingzhang.
Not to mention how he succeeded, let's just say that if everyone followed Mu's instructions, how would his Jun family be able to gain a foothold in Yunnan in the future?
His Jun clan is a yes man with the surname Mu? How can he say that he, the clan leader, must do what he asks?
After the discussion could not be settled, several clan elders stood up one after another and said, "This matter is a matter of the direct branch chief's family and has nothing to do with us."
Several clan elders agreed one after another.
If the clan leader's daughter hadn't married into the Mu family and gained favor with the Duke, they would have chosen another clan leader.
"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with us. Prince Mu has clear rewards and punishments, so he will not implicate innocent people. We will restrain our families and abide by the law."
There is no need to tie this matter to the patriarch's family and let Prince Mu take revenge on them.
Mr. Jun was breathing heavily. Does this mean that he, the leader of the clan, allowed his family to act lawlessly and act randomly?
Several elders in the hall cheered and left. Mr. Jun was so angry that he broke the cups in the hall. "Come here, go to the Duke's Mansion to invite my aunt!"
But when Jun Mingzhang learned everything in the hall, he didn't take it to heart at all. They were just a few clan elders. Who did they want to take as their leader?
"In Yunnan, it's not the boy named Mu who makes the decision. How can he break into a private house and take someone away without anyone noticing? Besides, how could I, a bad person, kidnap his wife? Who saw it?
Already?"
Jun Mingzhang felt that Mu Yan was just bluffing.
If he had any means at all, he would not do anything like asking Ruoxu to write a letter, and then go to the letter clan elders to intimidate him.
He even wrote letters to the clan elders? Isn’t it because there is no actual evidence and he wants to use the clan elders to force the clan to deal with him? Jun Mingzhang looked disdainful.
Back then, he had killed that kid Mu Yan several times. Wasn't he at his wits' end? He looked at his legs and saw that although his legs were broken, he was still alive.
An arrogant child, who did not know the depth of the water in Yunnan, dared to speak nonsense. He did not know how he died.
In the Duke's mansion, Jun Qiluo was begging Mu Sheng to help intercede.
"Husband, please intercede with Yan'er. This was all done by the people below, and my eldest brother didn't know anything about it. The servants also saw that my eldest brother has been suffering these years, and they just wanted to vent their anger for him. They can't.
Put the fault of the servants on my eldest brother."
The news of Huo Xi's disappearance had long spread in the mansion, but Mu Yan kept the news tightly. The mansion did not know that Jun Mingzhang sent people to kidnap her. They only thought that she was a rebel who was beaten back by Mu Yan.
Abducted.
Now Mrs. Jun sent someone to invite Jun Qiluo, and only then did Jun Qiluo know that the matter was related to her eldest brother.
She was angry at her eldest brother for causing trouble to her, but she also felt sorry for her eldest brother.
Mu Yan sent people to cut off his legs, and he could only lie on the bed like a useless person. He felt hatred in his heart, and it was understandable that he wanted to take revenge on Mu Yan.
Mu Sheng thought of the cold look Mu Yan looked at him that day. Thinking of it these days, his heart was still filled with panic. Although he had been adopted, he was still his flesh and blood.
"Your elder brother doesn't know?"
"Yes. My eldest brother doesn't know about it. He can't even leave the house. How can he kidnap people?"
"If he wants to go out, he only needs to tell his subordinates to do it."
Jun Qiluo was a little surprised and looked at Mu Sheng blankly. Normally, whatever she said, the Duke would agree to it and he would take care of her family. Why has her attitude changed?
Gritting my teeth and secretly hating it.
Zhan'er Wang'er grew up beside him, is it still not as good as Mu Yan who adopted him? Just because Zhan'er Wang'er is a bastard?
"If the Duke of Guo says that, I have nothing to defend myself from. My eldest brother said he didn't know anything about it, but Mu Yan said it was my eldest brother who did it. As a concubine, it's hard for me to talk with my sister in the middle. Why don't we just hand it over?
Give it to the Yamen."
Jun Qiluo was sure that Mu Yan did not want to publicize this matter.
As the crown prince's wife, she was kidnapped for several days. How glorious is it to say that?
Not to mention being sent to a family temple in the capital or in the Central Plains, even in Yunnan, where etiquette is not prominent, if someone finds out about this, he will not even be able to leave the house.
Mu Sheng took a deep look at Jun Qiluo: "The Yamen still doesn't listen to me? I will sentence them how I want. Then I will invite the court into the house."
"My lord!"
When Jun Qiluo heard this, her face was full of disbelief, "Did the Duke believe Mu Yan's words?" He didn't stand on her eldest brother's side at all?
Mu Sheng tilted his head, "I don't have anything to say about this matter. Yan'er hasn't stayed with me these years. He is used to making his own decisions. What I say doesn't count for him."
In the military camp, all his generals only listened to Yan'er's words. His son was decisive, resolute and more capable than him, so he could not be his master.
Seeing that Mu Sheng avoided her and went out, Jun Qiluo was filled with hatred.
Mu Yan usurped Zhan'er's position as heir apparent. If he takes her eldest brother down again, how will Zhan'er hold her head up in front of him in the future?
