Mu Yan looked calm, sitting upright with cold eyes.
Jiao Zan's heart trembled when he saw him like this. But he still pretended to be calm. "I hold a third-level important position in Yunnan Dusi. Even if you are the crown prince of the emperor, you have no right to touch me."
Seeing his stubbornness, Mu Yan didn't intend to say more to him, "It seems that you don't intend to admit it."
"What a joke, what do I have to confess to? Your Majesty caught me in the middle of the night and wanted to accuse me without asking why? Even if I'm guilty, I have to report it to the Ministry of War, and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion will send someone to interrogate me before I can be charged.
conviction."
"The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army? The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army is far away in the capital. I can't wait."
"You! Your Majesty, you haven't inherited the title of Duke of Guizhou yet. You are so rebellious, don't regret it!"
"I have never regretted it. Come here and put the torture device on me."
"you dare!"
"Why don't I dare?" Mu Yan started to order people to be tortured without raising his eyebrows.
Jiao Zan was indeed a man. After two rounds of torture, he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit that he was related to the "Meiweiling" incident.
He shouted hoarsely: "The prince has suffered heavy losses because of his wife. Do you have to drag someone to take the blame? I am a third-rank official in the imperial court. The prince has no right to torture me. I want to appeal!"
Mu Yan glanced at him indifferently and said, "Come here, take him down."
"Your Majesty, you have no right to imprison me! Let me out! I want to appeal! I want to report to the Emperor that you used lynching on the court officials. I will join in and let the Emperor take away your Crown Prince and canonize it!" the voice gradually faded.
Far.
Li Yi glanced at Mu Yan, a little worried, "Your Majesty, do you really want to lock him up?" What if it affects the Crown Prince's status...
"Do I care about him? I just invited him to be a guest, and because we had a great time chatting with him, I held a candle to him and talked with him all night."
Uh...Kan Er made a gesture quietly from behind, and it turned out to be the crown prince. When the crown prince became a bachelor, no one could do anything to him.
Seeing Li Yi frowning, Mu Yan explained: "My goal is not Jiao Zan. Although Jiao Zan contributed a lot in the Meiweiling incident, it is not his turn for me to cure him. The information collected previously about
When the time comes, I will compile a copy of his evidence and send it to the Ministry of War, who will then convict him."
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Although Jiao Zan is hateful, don't let the prince dirty his hands because of him."
Mu Yan nodded and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Kun Si immediately floated in. Mu Yan murmured a few words to him and then ordered: "Go and ask Xiang Jie if you want to pay for Jiao Zan's life. If you can't wait for him at three o'clock tomorrow noon,
Answer, there is no such person as Jiao Zan in this world."
"Yes." Kun Si responded and quickly stepped out.
Jun Xiangjie held his young beautiful concubine in his arms and was about to go out for a Wushan cloud and rain together in the tent. He was startled by the black shadow that suddenly appeared outside the tent and immediately softened. The beautiful concubine also screamed in surprise and grabbed her.
He hurriedly threw his clothes on his body, wrapped himself in a quilt and shivered in a corner.
"Who are you!" Jun Xiangjie shouted.
Kun Si stood there upright, without saying a word, like a ghost in the night.
Jun Xiangjie hurriedly put on his clothes, shooed his concubine away, and opened the curtain, "Who are you? What do you want to do when you break into a house in the middle of the night? Someone's coming! Someone's coming!"
After shouting for a long time and seeing no movement outside, he realized that his shouting was in vain, so he forced himself to calm down and met Kun Si's eyes.
Seeing that he was no longer a demon, Kun Si repeated Mu Yan's instructions: "The prince said that you know what you and Jiao Zan have done. You probably know more about how much Jiao Zan has done for you over the years. Let me tell you something.
So, do you want to use money to protect Jiao Zan’s life? If you don’t get a reply before three quarters noon tomorrow, there will be no Jiao Zan in this world.”
Jun Xiangjie was so shocked that he jumped to his feet and yelled: "Crazy man! How audacious! How dare you privately lynch a third-rank official of the imperial court!"
Kun Si ignored his shouting and said, "The message has been brought to you. I will come to hear the answer at 3:30 noon tomorrow." With a hiss, he disappeared.
Jun chased Jie two steps away. It was dark in the dark and he couldn't see anywhere. He thought it was just a dream. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
It took a while to regain consciousness, and he climbed up using all four limbs. He woke up all his sons and grandsons from their sleep, and the three generations gathered in the study to discuss matters.
Jun Ruoxu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his grandfather in disbelief. There was a lot of rumors outside that the North and South Cargo Company had been cheated out of millions of taels of silver by Li Daitao. Was it his grandfather who did it?
Jun Ruoxu's heart was filled with turmoil. It was over, it was really over this time. The Jun family's foundation for so many years was probably not guaranteed.
Several concubines did not know this and were shocked when they heard it.
"Dad, how could you think of going against the crown prince? You don't know what he is capable of! And Li Daitao wants to defraud him of money? Dad, you don't know that he has many people in his hands? He once worked as a servant in Jinyiwei,
No means are available, no one can be found!"
"Yes, Dad, you are going to kill the whole family!"
"Dad, my son hasn't lived enough yet!"
Seeing all the children and grandchildren complaining to him, as if he had done something treacherous and causing the destruction of the whole clan, they all accused him. Jun Xiangjie felt that his chest was tight and he could not breathe.
Pointing at his children and grandchildren, he tremblingly said: "You, you, are not even as good as your elder brother!" His Mingzhang, why did he disappear so early? He was told to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man.
It's all Mu Yan! It's all this boy named Mu! He caused his excellent son to have his leg broken, made him unable to move, even made him unable to walk, yet he still refused to let him go, and actually took his life! He's good
Hate! He wants Mu Yan to die!
The concubines secretly resented their father when they saw that he only thought about his dead eldest brother.
Jun Xiangjie couldn't help but his eyes turned red when he thought about his dead eldest son. With his eldest son here, he had never worried about these things.
Jun Ruoxu couldn't bear it and comforted him a few words. Jun Xiangjie said happily: "Xu'er is still sensible. Unlike your uncles who only care about family wealth!"
All the concubines and concubines secretly resented it and refused to let Jun Ruoxu steal the limelight, so they made suggestions one after another.
Some suggested: "Dad, the prince actually set up a lynching and raped a third-rank official in the imperial court. This matter must be reported to the Duke of Guo! It is better to send someone to tell my aunt quickly and let her go to the Duke of Guo."
"Yes, yes, dad, you'd better send someone to inform aunt."
"No!" Jun Ruoxu said hurriedly.
"Why not?" Several concubines looked at each other angrily, "Did you tell the secret?"
Jun Ruoxu was furious, "Several uncles want to convict me, so they have to prioritize. The matter to be discussed now is to provide money to save Mr. Jiao, not to expose each other's shortcomings!"
"We are discussing how to save Mr. Jiao. If someone named Mu dares to kidnap a third-rank official privately, he should report it to the Duke of the State and punish him for his crime. Maybe he can take advantage of this to deprive him of his position as the eldest son and replace him with the eldest son.
That's right. We are the eldest son's maternal wife, so aren't we better than the eldest son named Mu?"
All the concubines and concubines nodded.
Jun Ruoxu raised his forehead and said, "Didn't you hear what the visitor said? If we don't use money to redeem Mr. Jiao, Mr. Jiao will no longer be in this world at three o'clock tomorrow noon."
"If it's not here, then it's gone." Do they really have to pay for millions of taels of silver?
