That night, the entire Liangdu streets were full of pursuers, looking for the two fleeing men in black, and even searched house to house. On the eaves, Yun Yan looked at the soldiers below, and then looked at the night.
Maybe it's the depression in my heart. I'm really too depressed tonight. Some things will always surface.
The way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion went smoothly, and soon they arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yun Yan jumped directly onto the wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, just as she went up, she vaguely saw a person sneaking around inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It stands to reason that the Prime Minister's Mansion is always heavily guarded, especially the main courtyard. Yun Yan pondered for a moment and decided to follow him to have a look. The man walked forward, looking back from time to time. She followed closely, observing the man, her eyes
After a slight change, the man's figure looked very familiar. However, the most surprising thing was that the man actually entered Yun Mocheng's study directly.
Standing outside the study, Yun Yan raised the corner of her mouth slightly. It seemed that Yun Mocheng had not been idle these days. It happened that she also wanted to know what he wanted to do so that she could have countermeasures. She jumped up and landed in the study room.
After walking up a few steps, she lifted up a tile and looked at the scene below the study.
In the study, Yun Mocheng was sitting at the desk, looking at the person below who suddenly came in, and said: "Master Li, you are such a rare guest, coming to the prime minister's house so late. Please take a seat."
Li Congye bowed and stood below. Listening to these words, he smiled and said: "I am visiting the Prime Minister late at night. It is a low-ranking official who is rude." As he said that, he sat on the chair below.
"I wonder what Mr. Li's visit late at night is about?" Yun Mocheng looked at Li Gongye, picked up the tea cup on the table and said calmly.
Looking at the people drinking tea happily above, Li Congye said with a smile: "Xiaoguan is coming today, so naturally I have something to ask the Prime Minister. But looking at the Prime Minister's behavior, it seems that he knew that Xiaguan was coming.
What a brilliant plan."
After hearing this, Yun Mocheng put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly: "Master Li, there is no need to flatter the truth, these are not important. But Master Li is very lucky now, and even the truth is beyond his reach. The emperor personally
I have ordered you to be the presiding judge of the Calamity Bank embezzlement case. This is something that no one can ask for. Now I am curious about what brought Mr. Li here late at night. You are not afraid that the emperor will find out and blame you when the time comes.
For you."
Li Gongye raised his brows, smiled and said politely: "The Prime Minister has elevated the lower official. The lower official only needs to be favored by the emperor to be able to take on this important task. The lower official can never be as good as the prime minister in the emperor's mind."
s position."
Yun Mocheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Master Li, let's talk about the purpose of your coming here today."
After thinking about it, Li Gongye said: "Now that the corruption case of the disaster bank has gained some clues, I just want to ask the prime minister something. Is this corruption case of the disaster bank related to you?"
Here, he looked steadily at Yun Mocheng.
Hearing this, Yun Mocheng frowned. He looked at the people below. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "If Mr. Li suspects that this case is related to the truth, you can go check the truth. The truth will never be found."
Any comments?"
Upon hearing this, Li Gongye said quickly: "Don't be angry, Prime Minister. If I wanted to investigate the Prime Minister, I wouldn't be here today. I was able to serve in this imperial capital back then thanks to the support of the Prime Minister.
It's just that I heard some nonsense recently..." At this point, he stopped.
Remarks? Yun Mocheng felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly looked at Li Gongye and said in a deep voice, "What did Mr. Li hear?"
Looking at Yun Mocheng's face, Li Gongye looked embarrassed. After a long time, he said: "After receiving the imperial edict today, I heard a group of colleagues talking. They said that Yang Ao, as a general, is not ordinary.
What the officials can do, and Yang Ao was a subordinate of Duke Ding, and you are the son-in-law of Duke Ding, so..."
"So they just say it's the true form?" Hearing this, a hint of indifference flashed across Yun Mocheng's expression. He changed his expression and continued to smile, "It's not only the true form that can drive Yang Ao, but also the true form.
Xiang has no contact with Yang Ao. Master Li, why don't you look elsewhere? For example, the person who said these words to you..."
Hearing this, Li Gongye was shocked and said quickly: "I am just paraphrasing what others said. Please forgive me, Prime Minister. However, what the Prime Minister means is that the person behind the scenes is... This, how could this happen?
?”
At this moment, Yun Mocheng suddenly stood up. He looked at Li Congye and said calmly: "I don't know who it is. It's getting late now. If Master Li stays here any longer, the truth will be revealed."
I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you clearly by then. You'd better please come back."
Seeing that Yun Mocheng issued an order to expel guests, Li Congye stood up. He saluted Yun Mocheng and said, "It's the official who has disturbed me. I have to excuse myself." With that, he withdrew.
Seeing Li Congye leave, Yunyan straightened up. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. What was Li Congye doing here so late? This Li Congye was usually upright, otherwise she wouldn't have let him show up last time at Hansaki Pavilion.
Arrest Yang Ao. But looking at the scene just now, it seemed that he was here to tip off someone. She didn’t know why, but she always felt that there was something unusual about it.
Not long after Li Congye left, the study door opened again. Hearing the sound, Yun Yan looked over again.
In the study, He Wen came in. He closed the door, bent his waist, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Mr. Xiang, do you believe what Mr. Li said?"
"Believe it! Why don't you believe it?" Yun Mocheng looked ahead, his eyes seemed to be out of focus, and his face was very gloomy.
He Wen nodded, but he still said: "But why did Mr. Li come here to tell you this? Although you did help him back then, he has never been on good terms with us. Among them..."
"He is not on good terms with anyone. This time the emperor has handed over the hot potato of the disaster bank embezzlement case into his hands. How can he not be anxious? No matter where he is, he, the governor of Liangdu, can't
It is worth offending. It is precisely because he has no foundation that the emperor trusts him so much. He came today just to find out the truth." Yun Mocheng said indifferently.
Nodding, He Wen continued: "The person who wants to frame the Prime Minister..." At this point, he opened his mouth in surprise and raised his head to look at Yun Mocheng.
With a cold snort, Yun Mocheng looked forward with sharp eyes and said: "I am afraid he is the only person in the entire government and the public who is against me."
"Now that the uncle has pointed the finger at the prime minister, what are you going to do? You can't just sit back and wait for death." He Wen thought for a while and said.
Shaking his head slightly, Yun Mocheng said indifferently: "So what if he points the finger at the truth, the truth is not involved in the disaster, and he can't catch the truth. Besides, only people with evil intentions can do it.
He would insinuate that he just wanted to distract the emperor and distract Li Gongye, but the one who wanted to destroy his Gao family the most was the emperor. This was also the reason why the emperor did not let the Fourth Prince preside over the matter. This time,
Even if I don’t do anything, the Gao family will not be in trouble."
Nodding again, He Wen thought to himself and said, "No wonder the emperor even reprimanded his most beloved prince."
"The most beloved prince?" Hearing this, Yun Mocheng couldn't help but sneer, "You don't understand the emperor. The emperor's heart is always unpredictable. What's more, in the emperor's heart, only the imperial power is the most important.
"
Slightly startled, He Wen looked at Yun Mocheng in surprise. He seemed to have thought of something. He sighed in his heart. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Isn't Mr. Liu's family close to the Gao family? You said
Will they..."
With a slight snort, Yun Mocheng said disdainfully: "Ever since the Ding Guogong case, the two families have been in trouble. Do you think the Liu family will not be involved in the Gao family's affairs? Humph, the truth has said it earlier
, it is right to cut off contact with the Liu family, as the province will be implicated in the future."
"Yes, the Liu family will be in bad luck sooner or later." He Wenshen said with approval. After all, the Gao family is so popular that the emperor's most taboo is the power of his relatives. As a member of the Gao family, if the emperor wants to investigate the Gao family,
He was afraid that he would kill them all. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "But the second lady is a member of the Liu family after all. If we don't save her at that time, the second lady..."
Yun Mocheng looked at He Wen indifferently and said: "From the Liu family? When she marries into my Yun family, she should know which side she is on. If she feels that she is from the Liu family, then let her continue to use her surname.
Forget about Liu, she is actually a woman."
Slightly startled, He Wen realized that he had said the wrong thing. He stood there with his head lowered and sighed in his heart.
"How did you go about that?" Yun Mocheng suddenly asked.
He Wen looked stern and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, everything is done according to your instructions, and there is nothing wrong with the eldest young master."
He nodded, Yun Mocheng's deep eyes were extremely dark, and he said in a deep voice: "I sacrificed so much just for that matter. When I succeed in the future, I will be able to comfort the spirits of my ancestors in heaven."
Hearing this, He Wen became more respectful, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
On the eaves, listening to the words below, Yun Yan was surprised. Yun Mocheng seemed to have some secret, ancestor, success? What did it mean? She didn't know why, but she vaguely felt that there was something big happening in it.
Similar.
However, listening to what Yun Mocheng said to Liu Molin just now, Yun Yan couldn't help but sneer. It turns out that Liu Molin would also end up like this. My mother also begged him for mercy back then, but how did he do it? It's great, it turns out
This couple was not as loving as she thought, so it was a relief to her mother.
Doesn't Yun Mocheng not want to be related to the Liu family? After Liu Molin and her daughter drugged her that day, she had an idea. If it hadn't been for the serious injuries on her body in the past two days, that matter would have been done long ago.
But that was fine. The more she knew about Yun Mocheng's thoughts, the more she wanted to facilitate it. She wanted to see what the faces of Liu Molin, her daughter, and Yun Mocheng would look like when the time came.
royal palace
Early in the morning, there was a roaring sound in the Imperial Study Room, and everyone in the palace outside was frightened.
"What's the point of raising waste like you? I can't even catch a few of you. I'm so angry." Mu Yangtian grabbed the things on the table and threw them at the guards below. His face was already filled with tears.
Furious.
Next to him, Xiao Chenzi looked at Mu Yangtian's face and said quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself." The Emperor has been busy until very late every night in the past few days. If he gets angry like this, something will happen sooner or later.
"These people have come to my head, what else do I want with my body?" Mu Yangtian immediately retorted, and Xiao Chenzi lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.
The people below were kneeling there, not even daring to take a breath. Last night, assassins suddenly appeared in the sky prison. They had been lying in wait there for a long time, waiting to catch those people, but they didn't expect that those people were extremely skilled in martial arts.
They are no match at all, and so far they have no clue.
"Why aren't you talking anymore?" Mu Yangtian's chest heaved violently, and he shouted at the people below.
A guard captain below lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because my subordinates didn't do their job well. These assassins escaped too fast. I have sent people to search from house to house, but... if it happens next time,
My subordinates will definitely be able to capture those assassins and bring them to justice."
After hearing this, Mu Yangtian immediately sneered and said: "Give you another chance? If I give you another chance, next time they will come to my Zhengqian Palace. Get out of here immediately. If you can't catch them within three days,
Come and meet those people!"
The guards below shrank and could only salute and leave.
Xiao Chenzi next to him started sweating on his forehead when he saw Mu Yangtian's furious look.
At this time, a figure from outside came in. Looking at the person, Xiao Chenzi was startled and winked at her. The Holy Sage was furious now. He was afraid that anyone who came over would be in bad luck. The key was that this little
Auntie, if she stays and says the wrong thing, I'm afraid the Holy Father will be even more angry.
Ignoring Xiao Chenzi, Mu Zhaoyang walked straight forward. Several times she wanted to see her father, but she was stopped by her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law told her not to be willful, but how could she be willful? This time, she
There must be an explanation.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father." Mu Zhaoyang stood at the bottom of the steps and saluted.
Hearing this voice, Mu Yangtian looked over. His face was full of tiredness. He waved his hands and said, "I'm not in the mood today. You can go back to the palace to stay with your mother and concubine."
Mu Zhaoyang raised her head and looked at Mu Yangtian. She pursed her red lips. Xiao Chenzi next to him glanced at Mu Yangtian and winked at her again. His Majesty felt like there was a dark cloud hanging over his heart. It might happen at any time.
Flood breaks out.
But Mu Zhaoyang still ignored him. She did not retreat but moved forward. She walked to the table and asked: "Father, why, why is there no further information about the marriage between my son and the Seventh Young Master?"
Mu Yangtian stroked his head and said impatiently: "There are so many good men in this world, why do you have to marry that seventh son? As long as you are willing, I will let you marry the best man in the East Yue Kingdom."
"No, I think the best man is the Seventh Young Master. I wonder if there is anyone in the world who can compare with the Seventh Young Master's talent and beauty. I will marry him." Mu Zhaoyang continued with a pout.
Lao Gao.
After glancing at Mu Zhaoyang, Mu Yangtian suppressed his anger and growled: "Get out."
Hearing these words, Mu Zhaoyang's suppressed temper suddenly burst out. She said reluctantly: "Father, everyone knows that my son is going to marry the seventh son, but now you suddenly say that you want to make fun of this person.
Regarding the marriage, where do you want my son to put his face? They will all laugh at my son, and Jun Wu is not joking about it? Father, how can you not keep your word? You promised me."
With a "pop" sound, Mu Yangtian slapped his hand on the table. He covered his face and yelled angrily: "You are so outrageous, do you think you can get whatever you want? Everything you have is given to you by me, how dare you
Accusing me is really counter-intuitive. Now disappear from my presence, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Hearing this, Mu Zhaoyang's face turned pale. Her father scolded her. When did his father say such things to her? Tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously. How could this happen? How could his father treat her like this?
"Ugh..." Mu Zhaoyang cried loudly, turned around, covered his face and ran out.
Xiao Chenzi next to him quickly shouted: "Princess..."
"Don't call her, let her go!" Mu Yangtian said coldly.
Xiao Chenzi did not dare to say anything more, but looked at Mu Zhaoyang's back. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The reason why Princess Zhaoyang is so unruly is not because of the emperor. Who can blame her for all this?
Six Prince's Mansion
In the study, a man in a red robe was leaning on a chair, his enchanting face was full of coldness, and his narrow red phoenix eyes were looking out the door, but it seemed as if there was no purpose.
The man in a black suit next to him looked at him. After he told him everything that happened after following the man last night, he looked like this. Was he worried? But he omitted the part about Yun Yan.
"What are you worried about?" Guyao Cheng said with a chuckle.
Mu Jingnan withdrew his gaze, looked at Guyao City, and said calmly: "The person who led you to Tianlao yesterday should be from Gao Mansion. I heard earlier that Gao Qi raised a group of dead soldiers, and there was even one outstanding person among them.
It seems that Gao Qi really wants to frame us this time, but unfortunately, he underestimates us too much."
Hearing this, Guyao City nodded and said: "Originally, we were trying to prevent Gao Qi from assassinating Yang Ao, but now it seems that he knew that the emperor had arranged someone near the prison to lure us into the trap. That person's martial arts is indeed very high.
It's just that I can't figure out why a person like that would follow Gao Qi." Having said this, he couldn't help but recall the fight last night. The person he fought against was on par with him in martial arts, and he had no confidence that he could win in his hands.
, However, when it comes to masters, there seems to be a more powerful one. Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Jingnan's eyes suddenly fell on Guyaocheng. From the moment he came in, there was a vague smile on his face. It was rare to see him so happy.
Smiling slightly, Guyaocheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I was just thinking about what kind of person can control our Sixth Prince, but I saw it yesterday."
"What do you mean?" Mu Jingnan asked doubtfully, always feeling that there was something in his words.
Guyao Cheng looked at Mu Jingnan and said with a smile, "Guess who I saw yesterday?"
Mu Jingnan said nothing, his handsome face was calm, but his eyes were fixed on him.
Withdrawing his gaze, Guyaocheng looked at the scenery outside and said with a smile: "Although I have met her several times, this is the first time I have seen her take action. She is majestic and does not look like a woman at all. If it were not for the injuries on her body,
I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to take action." As he said that, he looked at Mu Jingnan with a little sympathy, "I'm curious how our sixth prince can control such a princess in the future."
"She also went to the Heavenly Prison?!" Mu Jingnan sat up instantly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Why didn't you say anything before?"
Smiling slightly, Guyaocheng pretended to be innocent and said: "I can go, why can't she go? Besides, you didn't ask?"
Looking at the expression on Guyao Cheng's face, Mu Jingnan put his hands on the backs of the chairs on both sides. He groaned. Looking at the bright sunshine outside, he took a deep breath and said, "Is she okay?" Thinking of her.
He didn't feel worried about his injuries that day, but it was just inconvenient for him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion recently.
"Of course she's fine, but there's something I have to tell you. She knows my identity. There's nothing I can do about it. She doesn't trust me if I don't show it to her." Guyao Cheng said jokingly, "Are you still worried about her injury now?
?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingnan narrowed his eyes and looked at Guyaocheng's smiling face. What did he want to do?
"Today Liangdu Prefecture Yin Li will interrogate Yang Ao at the Prefecture Yamen. I guess she will go. If you have anything to say, you can ask her yourself." Guyaocheng stood up and looked outside, feeling good.
The weather is suitable for going out, but the face of the person behind him is already covered with dark clouds.
Yun Mansion, Suxuan Pavilion
When she woke up in the morning, Yunyan felt relaxed and tight all over.
At some point, Bishui came in humming a song. Seeing that Yun Yan was already sitting on the soft couch, she greeted him with a smile. "Miss, why don't you sleep more today?"
Seeing Bishui like this, she felt very happy. Thinking of Leng Xue's meeting with her yesterday, Yun Yan felt relieved. The two of them had been together less and apart, and they couldn't have been more tender yesterday. However, this tenderness was not for Leng Xue.
It’s really a difficult thing to say.
"Is there anything big happening today?" Yun Yan asked casually, looking outside, the sunshine was really warm, and now she was becoming more and more greedy for this warmth.
While setting the table, Bishui said: "Today it seems that Yang Ao's case will be tried at Fuyin Yamen. I heard that it was specially tried at Fuyin Yamen, in order to show the national prestige of our Dongyue Kingdom to the people of the world.
This is auspicious."
Nodding slightly, Yun Yan looked outside. This was in line with Mu Yangtian's tactics. Since it was Yang Ao's trial, she naturally wanted to go over and listen. She wanted to see what Yang Ao would say.
Suddenly something occurred to her. Yunyan looked at Bishui and said, "You can help me deliver a letter later. Remember, no one can know that this letter is from you." As she said this, she took out a letter from her sleeve.
A letter with four words on it, "Cousin Qingqi!"
After listening to this, Bishui took the letter and said doubtfully: "Miss, what letter?" When did the lady have a cousin?
With a chuckle, Yun Yan's eyes flashed with something strange. She gently lifted her chin and whispered in Bi Shui's ear for a while, then said with a smile: "There will be a good show tonight." After saying that, she stood up and looked outside.
, "I'll go out first, you be careful."
Looking at Yun Yan's back, Bishui looked at the heart in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
