Originally, this matter could have been suppressed under normal circumstances with the power of Zhen Weihou, but how could the fourth prince let them go so easily at this moment?
The two factions fought and bit each other. Since the fourth prince relied on his status as a prince, Zhenweihou naturally did not dare to do anything.
But his son killed someone for no reason, and according to the law, he was beheaded. How could Marquis Zhenwei just sit idly by?
After beheading his son, how could he have the dignity to gain a foothold in the Qinglong Empire in the future?
So Zhenweihou could only communicate and manage things everywhere. With his status, he could only say a few words, but now he could only put aside his status and send people to deliver gifts.
But how could Mu Tianhua be so easy to deal with? This matter was immediately brought to the attention of the regent, and he even teamed up with his own people to confuse Marquis Zhenwei!
Above the court, Mu Zi was as cold as ice, his emotions and anger were inexpressible, there was no anger, but it still made people feel frightened.
Who dares to offend?
Who dares to be presumptuous?
The evidence is conclusive, and Mu Tianhua is obstructing it. Young Master Duanmu has no choice but to die.
Marquis Zhenwei fell ill out of anger. In just one month, his most beloved daughter died, his most cherished son was injured, and even his eldest son was beheaded!
How can you not be angry? How can you let it go?
"Mu Tianhua! You kid has no other skills, but this despicable and shameless method is enough!" Zhenwei Hou was furious.
Duan Mulei said: "Dad, although eldest brother is usually reckless, he doesn't kill people on the street. Mu Tianhua must be the one who framed this incident!"
"Hmph! What a good boy, you have the guts!" Zhenweihou was so angry that his whole body trembled.
However, this is not the most irritating thing. Next, all the gambling houses and black markets of the Duanmu family in various places were raided!
These shady businesses were all left to others to take care of. No one knew that they belonged to the Duanmu family, but Mu Tianhua didn't know where he found out about it. After asking the regent's order, he immediately took people to check!
Those places contributed an unknown amount of wealth to the Duanmu family every year, but now they were all gone overnight. Marquis Zhenwei was not angry, but Duanmulei was afraid!
"Mu Tianhua, that stinky boy! He won't believe in Duanmu until I chop it into pieces!"
On this day, Wei Ning deliberately left the palace and went to Duanmu Mansion. Seeing Duanmulei lose his temper, all the unlucky servants suffered, so frightened that no one came quickly.
"Don't be angry, little Marquis. In my opinion, if these top-secret information about the Duanmu family are known to Mu Tianhua, there must be a mole!"
Wei Ning said that Duan Mulei would naturally not tell her about these things, but she secretly sneaked into Zhenwei Hou's study to find them.
The last time Duan Mulei took her into the study, she wrote down the structure and sneaked in at midnight the next day. She didn't steal anything, but it was not good for her to know about the Duanmu family's shady business.
It was a casual favor and was revealed to Mu Ziyao, which made her extremely happy.
As for the Duanmu family's murder in the street, it was naturally planned by Mu Tianhua. He was not a fool. Of course he would attack with all his strength if he found a weakness!
"The ghost?" Duanmulei narrowed his eyes.
The gambling houses and black market businesses in the Qinglong Empire were the main source of the Duanmu family's wealth. Now that they were all taken over, the losses would be extremely heavy.
"The suspicious person must be around Young Marquis or Zhenwei Marquis. Otherwise, how could such a confidential matter be leaked out casually?"
"That's right!" Duan Mulei stood up and walked around the room, "No matter who is the mole, I will kill everyone around me and leave no one alive. I don't believe that the mole can't be eliminated!"
