"This is definitely not possible. If you kill me, wouldn't I have no reason to say it?"
Muchuan relied on his status as the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, the General of the Army, and Duke Mu. It was not easy for others to try to influence him. After all, there were many stakes involved.
If Muchuan signs this contract, if Changsun Lingxi goes crazy and kills him one day, I'm afraid he will have to die inexplicably.
No matter what, this contract cannot be signed! Muchuan turned a deaf ear and remained unmoved!
The eunuch began to urge the maids nearby, telling Muchuan not to disobey the princess, and that if he wanted to go home, he would have to sign the contract.
But no matter what the people next to him say, Muchuan just won’t sign it!
Seeing that there was nothing they could do, a group of eunuchs began to resort to tricks to force Muchuan to sign.
Muchuan's body, feet, and wrists were tied with ropes, and a writing brush was stuffed in the middle of his hands. The two eunuchs just pressed his hands to sign the contract.
Fortunately, Muchuan was very strong, but it was impossible for two small eunuchs who looked like white onions to hold him down, so the two eunuchs were replaced and replaced by two burly soldiers.
In desperation, Muchuan just wrote his name on the contract and had his fingerprints stamped on it.
The palace maid took the contract and presented it to the eldest grandson Lingxi. After she read it, she nodded: "Well, not bad..."
Muchuan said with a mournful face: "Princess, do you really want to kill me?"
"I won't kill you yet. Lord Muchuan is the pillar of the imperial court. The people, courtiers, and my father all need you. I can't kill you yet, but..." Changsun Lingxi changed the topic and didn't show any emotion on his face.
A faint smile appeared, "If you provoke me again, I might kill you."
A contract is equivalent to a modern contract. Once it is made, it cannot be resisted.
The difference is that after a modern contract is concluded, if there is evidence that it was signed against the will of the contracting party, the contract can be invalidated through court litigation.
The problem is that this is not modern times, but ancient times!
The ancient judicial system was far less sound than modern times, and the contract was only recognized by the black and white words on it, but not by the will or not. For this reason, Muchuan's life and death was really in the hands of Changsun Lingxi.
But there is no way to crack it, so what if it is a contract?
Can it still be more powerful than the emperor?
Muchuan already had an idea in his mind. After leaving this place, he would definitely complain to the emperor and let the emperor administer justice!
"Princess...you have taught me a lesson and signed the contract. I shouldn't have anything to do next, right?"
If nothing happens, please allow me to retire."
"Back off."
"Yes!"
Muchuan began to wink at the soldiers on the left and right, asking them to loosen his bonds.
As the rope fell to the ground, Muchuan was relieved and felt comfortable. At that moment, he began to move his hands and feet to prepare to leave.
"The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance."
Changsun Lingxi's sweet voice first appeared, and she stopped him.
Muchuan turned around stiffly: "Ah?
She’s a princess… I wonder what else is going on?”
"Shang Shu, don't even think about complaining to my father. Naturally, I won't admit it in front of my father... After all, there is no physical evidence for what happened today. If you dare to sue me in front of my father,
, I will only make a counter-complaint, and then we will see whether the father trusts me as a daughter or you as a foreign minister."
Changsun Lingxi said quietly, I bet she had already thought about everything! How terrifying this princess is, you really shouldn’t underestimate her!
Muchuan said with an embarrassed smile: "Princess, why did you say such a thing...I am not a sinister person, so I would not sue the princess at will."
"So good."
"Then Princess, I'll leave now if I don't have anything else to do."
Muchuan Liuxing took long strides and retreated hastily.
The rest of the trip went smoothly. After leaving the palace, Muchuan successfully walked out of the palace, completely out of Changsun Lingxi's sphere of influence.
When we came out, it was getting late, the moon and stars were scarce, and the palace was already lit with red lanterns.
The tall and spectacular outer walls of the imperial city reflect the light of the flowing shadows, and the autumn wind rustles the trees in the courtyard. The tranquility and tranquility bring out the beauty of the prosperous palace.
Muchuan couldn't help but wonder as he walked in the palace corridor, should he go to Li Shimin to complain?
But you must know that as a time traveler, he came to the ancient Tang Dynasty like a fish in water, and he was very comfortable. But today he was bullied like this by a princess, and the reason was just because of a box of cakes. No matter how you think about it, you think it is too much to bully someone, right?
What's more, Muchuan also signed a "life and death contract". If the princess really kills him, he will be doomed! Thinking carefully about Muchuan's decision to go to the palace to talk to Li Shimin, he has to let the emperor make the decision for him!
Then when he thought, Muchuan changed direction and did not leave the palace, but went straight towards the emperor's study room.
"Lord Muchuan, I wonder where you are going?"
A cold voice came from behind, which was particularly penetrating.
Muchuan heard the voice and turned around to see a big man with short braids!
This big man with short braided hair is the princess's bodyguard and the commander of the imperial army?
When Muchuan saw the other party, he asked very vigilantly: "You...why are you here?"
The princess has already let me go, don’t make things difficult for me anymore!”
"My lord has misunderstood. I will naturally not embarrass you. I just want to remind you of something."
"What's up?"
"My lord, do you want to find the emperor?
The villain advises you not to do this, but don't anger the princess because of this."
The words of the big man with short braids directly revealed Muchuan's intentions. Muchuan really wanted to find Li Shimin.
Since Muchuan had promised his eldest son Lingxi in the princess palace that he would not go to the emperor, of course he had to deny it.
"Who said I was looking for the emperor... I just wanted to take a walk."
"The harem is an important place for the royal family. Even adults cannot come in and out at will."
"That's right... Then why don't I leave now?"
After Muchuan said that, he turned around and left.
"My lord, you are an important minister of the imperial court. You have made many meritorious deeds and have a distinguished reputation. I have often heard about you. I would like to ask the general to apologize for what happened today, so as not to blame the princess."
The big man with short braids apologized for no reason, which made Muchuan look confused.
After all, the short-braided man was Changsun Lingxi’s guard. He did hurt Muchuan before, but he had no choice but to obey orders. Naturally, there was nothing wrong to say, but he took the initiative to apologize and let Muchuan
