"What! Mu Xian's corruption case is actually related to Ying Hou!"
Emperor Chongzhen was shocked.
After Li Gong was successfully brought back to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen ordered that Mu Xian be brought to the capital for interrogation, and Mu Xian also came to the capital.
Of course, Mu Xian had already been imprisoned at this time, but the aristocratic families in Youzhou City were also complaining for Mu Xian, so Mu Xian was emboldened.
"Your Majesty, even if the Eagle Marquis is related to the Mo corruption case, that was a matter of time ago. His Highness the Crown Prince is so impatient that if he recruits him into the capital, I'm afraid..."
Jin Yiwei said in a deep voice.
Wang Chengen said in a cold voice: "Presumptuous! Is this something you can say?
Get out of here right away!"
After scolding the royal guards away, Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of touching the Eagle Queen. He was summoned to the capital just because the Crown Princess missed his father.
"
Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's better to be on the safe side in this matter. You also know Fan'er's character. If he really has murderous intentions towards Nalan Eagle, he will definitely do what he will do!"
"This is his father-in-law. If things get too big, it won't be good for anyone!"
After Emperor Chongzhen said this, he asked Wang Chengen to go to the Prince's Mansion and summon Lin Fan into the palace. He wanted to tell Lin Fan in advance not to embarrass Nalan Xiongying.
At this time, he was in the prison of the Criminal Department of the capital.
"Master Mu, the fish was cooked well today, hehe! We bought this specially for you from Yufangzhai."
One of the guards said with a smile.
Mu Xian was sitting in the prison. Although the tables and chairs were shabby, the food on the table was extremely rich.
There are not only fish, but also braised pork, and even fine wine. Such treatment is difficult for even ordinary gentry families to achieve.
"Haha! Yes, you guys are very thoughtful. When I go out, I will repay you well!"
Mu Xian said with a smile.
Although he was captured in the capital, he was confident because this matter would ultimately be blamed on Nalan Xiongying. He did not believe that Lin Fan would kill his father-in-law just to kill him!
If this matter was left to nothing because it was related to Nalan Eagle, then he would be fine.
As long as he can return to Youzhou City, he can live his old life again, but he has to be more restrained and can no longer amass money as he did before.
"Hehe! Whatever Master Mu said, we are just doing our best. Besides, these dishes are all Master Mu's money. We are just running errands."
The guards said with a smile.
"Haha! In a place like this, if you run errands for me, you are taking risks. I will ask someone to send you some money later, and it should be regarded as your hard work!"
Mu Xian said with a smile.
"Ouch! Thank you so much, Mr. Mu, for your love!"
The guards all laughed.
However, what Mu Xian didn't know was that Lin Fan came to Nalan Eagle just to ask what happened. If it was really related to Nalan Eagle, there was no way he could escape from his grave sin of killing the nine tribes.
.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty summons you to the palace!"
Wang Chengen found Lin Fan and said respectfully.
"Okay! I will follow you into the palace right now!"
Lin Fan said.
He got up and entered the palace with Wang Chengen. When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chengen went in first to report, and then came out to take Lin Fan in. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was looking at Lin Fan solemnly.
"Father, I don't know why I have brought my son here!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
But I was muttering in my heart: "What happened to this old guy Chongzhen?
He frowned, could it be that I did something to make him unhappy?
It shouldn’t be, I haven’t done anything recently!”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard Lin Fan's thoughts, his face turned dark and he said coldly: "Fan'er, don't you know why I came to you?"
"Father, I really don't know!"
Lin Fan said.
"How did I hear that you summoned the eagle to come to Beijing?
Do you know what it means to enter the capital as a hawk?"
Emperor Chongzhen said coldly.
"Uh... Father, don't worry. I summoned Ying Hou to the capital just because Yan'er misses Ying Hou. Moreover, Ying Hou will not bring any soldiers close to the capital."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Shit! Isn't this old guy Chongzhen worried that he will rebel? You don't even think about it. There are 100,000 Xuanjia troops guarding the capital. I want to rebel. Can you resist?"
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, a black thread flashed across his head. However, he had to admit that if Lin Fan wanted to rebel, he would not be able to resist given his own strength.
However, even if you dominate the capital, you must respect me as your father, and you must listen to what I say.
"Fan'er, do you think this is what I'm worried about?
I know about Li Gong, and Mu Xian’s corruption case is related to Yinghou.”
"Alas! He is your father-in-law after all. Even if he did this, it was in the past. Once it is found out, it can't happen again."
"If you keep insisting on this matter, what will Yan'er do?
I don’t want to see the Crown Prince and Crown Princess having a fight, and I don’t want to see the Crown Prince kill his father-in-law because of it!”
Emperor Chongzhen said coldly.
…
Lin Fan didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen was worried that he was going to kill Ying Hou, so he summoned him. It seemed that this old man was not as rigid as he thought.
"Father, do you think my son will attack his father-in-law?"
Lin Fan asked rhetorically.
"You! Fan'er, what my father told you is true. Your father-in-law is also the king of Heshuote, and he was canonized as Eagle Marquis by you. He also accepted it. This is already a big concession!"
"You should be happy about this. Meushi attacked Mu Xian because of his case. What do the civil and military officials think of you?"
Emperor Chongzhen said again.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Father, you can rest assured about this. I had no intention of convicting my father-in-law or recruiting him to the capital, just because Yan'er missed him."
"Of course, I want to ask him clearly about this matter. If he is the mastermind, then Mu Xian must die. Moreover, it will be a major crime against the nine clans!"
kindness?
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lin Fan in confusion and said: "On the contrary, if Ying Hou is the mastermind, Mu Xian is the assistant. If you kill his nine tribes, all the officials will not be convinced if they find out!"
"Father, am I not the one who has the final say on whether he is the mastermind or not?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Forehead……
Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a moment. It was really Lin Fan who had the final say as to whether Mu Xian was the mastermind. But you have no evidence. How can you identify him as the mastermind?
"Fan'er, the case of Li Gong being wrongly accused and the case of Mu Xian being corrupted, these two cases are actually one case. The civil and military officials of the whole court are watching. How can you cheat?"
