Chapter 663 The words of the commander of the imperial army
Cute little girl, it makes me feel sad when she cries.
"Well, I understand, Brother Mu, let's go and ask him quickly. I really want to see my brother right away."
Xin'er immediately forced herself not to cry, but her voice was still obviously choked up.
"Okay, but it's not us. You and Sister Mingzhu will go back home to rest first, and I'll arrange for someone to investigate."
"There will be news this evening at the latest."
Muchuan said.
With his connections in Chang'an and his acquaintances in the Forbidden Army, it was only a small matter to pry out a piece of information.
But, why are people from the Forbidden Army arresting people?
This made Muchuan completely confused.
I just hope that when the problem is solved, no senior royal family members will be involved.
Although he has gained a lot of favor with His Majesty, there is a limit to the number of favors, and the more you use them, the less you use them.
What's more, it's His Majesty's favor.
Muchuan thought this, but without revealing anything on his face, he took Xin'er and the others to the Shangshu Mansion.
The Shangshu Mansion has been without an owner for a long time, but the housekeeper has been cleaning and cleaning it diligently.
When Muchuan and the others first arrived in Chang'an City, the housekeeper had already received the news through the Ghost Face Army.
Last night, I waited until the city gates were closed to make sure Muchuan would not come back before I went to rest.
Early this morning, the housekeeper took a group of domestic servants to scan the inside and outside again, and then waited in front of the house.
Seeing the convoy headed by the Ghost Face Army coming from a distance, the smile on the butler's face deepened.
"Sir, you are finally back!"
The housekeeper stood in front of Muchuan's carriage, stepped forward, opened the curtain, and welcomed Muchuan out.
Seeing Xin'er and the others, the housekeeper seemed to understand something and was extremely happy.
Even Muchuan couldn't care less. He wanted to say something else but was afraid of being rude.
I simply said some polite words and welcomed the person down.
"I've met a few girls and a few distinguished guests. It's a great honor! Please come in!"
The butler said politely.
Mingzhu and the others also smiled and nodded to the housekeeper, and followed Muchuan into the house.
The housekeeper looked at the three beauties with their own characteristics and didn't know how to arrange them for a moment.
I felt happy and relieved that my master finally had someone to like.
I just don’t know which one it is, or all three?
The housekeeper observed it carefully over and over again, and it seemed that the younger one was particularly clingy to Master Mu.
But there was a man with a Western appearance who seemed to be particularly gentle to Mr. Mu.
The guy who didn’t know where he came from, although he didn’t like to talk much, his eyes were extremely focused, and his eyes were always on Master Mu.
Which one is this?
The housekeeper is so worried.
But no matter how worried you are, it is also a sweet worry for the housekeeper.
He immediately ordered people to pick out the three best courtyards, clean them, and arrange them carefully. The more beautiful the arrangements, the better.
He also asked people to go to the dental shop as soon as possible to buy a few more first-class maids and second-class maids, and some women. He even didn't forget to add two more cooks at the back.
In addition, you can also contact cloth shops to make ready-made clothes, jewelry stores to buy jewelry, etc.
It took a lot of heartache to make arrangements.
People outside saw that since Mr. Mu from Shangshu Mansion came back, the whole mansion has been extremely lively, with people coming and going, either carrying cloths or carrying boxes.
"I'm watching, I guess something happy is coming soon in the Shangshu Mansion."
Someone is smart enough to draw conclusions.
Muchuan changed his clothes after washing, and Mingzhu and the others also packed up.
The butler specially prepared a large table full of various kinds of meals.
Just because of Fang Cheng's incident, Xin'er couldn't eat, and the dinner table was not very lively.
The butler sensed that something was wrong and quickly put away the smile on his face.
After eating, Muchuan asked Xin'er to rest first while he went to the study.
"Give this letter to Hong Ming and tell him it's urgent."
Muchuan wrote a letter and gave it to his subordinates.
The subordinate knew that the Hong Ming he was talking about was the commander of the Forbidden Army, so he immediately took the letter and went there without stopping.
It was already an hour later when Hong Ming arrived at Shangshu Mansion.
"I'm sorry, Minister Mu, but I'm late."
"I heard that Mr. Mu is returning to Chang'an today. It's really rude for me to come to pay my respects just now."
Hong Ming said politely.
"Commander Hong is so polite. I deliberately kept it quiet."
"Come here, let's take a look at the tea."
Muchuan laughed and asked Hong Ming to sit down.
"I walked around the Tang Dynasty, saw many strange things, and collected a few gadgets."
Muchuan said, pushing a box on the table to Hong Ming.
"If Commander Hong doesn't mind it, use it to relieve your boredom."
Muchuan said with a smile.
Hong Ming lowered his head and saw that it was an exquisite dagger. The handle was inlaid with many gems, which was shining brightly.
Of course, the most important thing was the dagger. As a commander of the Forbidden Army, Hong Ming could tell at a glance that it was forged from fine iron.
But how could someone who could be the leader of the Imperial Guard be easily bribed?
Hong Ming rolled his eyes, and when he looked up again, he had a look of fear on his face.
"This, I don't dare accept this!"
"Master Mu, you don't get reward for your merits!"
Hong Ming said, quickly pushed the box over and waved his hands repeatedly.
Muchuan knew that this old fox would not usually help others easily, so he gave him a small gift first.
I didn't expect the old fox to be really shrewd.
"Commander Hong, why are you so polite to me?"
"Are you still afraid that I will frame you?"
Muchuan knew what Hong Ming was afraid of.
Since the other person won't say it, then he will say it.
Take the enemy's path and leave the enemy with nowhere to go.
When Hong Ming heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Muchuan to be so direct.
His face also looked particularly embarrassed.
Muchuan snorted coldly in his heart. As a person of later generations, he has already learned the golden rule of "as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."
"I don't dare. I never dare to think like this."
Hong Ming secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
Why is he so embarrassed!
After hearing Hong Ming's words, Muchuan shook his head slightly.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass Commander Hong."
"If Commander Hong can trust me, I will accept this box."
"I do have something to ask of you, but I just want to ask a question."
"Whether Commander Hong wants to say it or not, this gift is my heartfelt gift to Commander Hong. Please don't dislike it, Commander Hong."
The word "dislike" came out, and Hong Ming became even more nervous.
He thought quickly in his mind that if it wasn't just a question, it wouldn't have much impact.
After thinking about this, Hong Ming was no longer nervous.
"Master Mu, why are you so polite? No matter what Master Mu wants to know, as long as I, Hong Ming, know it, I will tell you everything!"
Hong Ming said as if he was loyal.
It's not that the charm of the dagger is great, but that Hong Ming knows that he is a Forbidden Army. On the surface, he has no contact with officials from all parties, but in fact, the Forbidden Army has a subtle influence on the royal family.
Therefore, the relationship between officials and the Imperial Guard is particularly delicate.
Although there are superior and inferior ranks, the status of the Imperial Guard is higher among those of the same rank.
However, no matter how high-ranking the Forbidden Army is, they don't dare to be too arrogant. They still have to give officials the face they deserve.
Muchuan felt at ease when he heard what Hong Ming said.
