When Wu Gui sent Mu Kai back home, Mu Hanfei was also there.
Seeing his son being beaten unconscious, Mu Hanfei's face remained calm.
"Who did it?" He looked at Wu Gui.
"Replying to Uncle Mu, it's Lin Ji from the Tiansi Supervisor."
Hearing the word Lin Ji, Mu Hanfei narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment before continuing to ask: "Why did you attack Mu Kai?"
Wu Gui did not dare to hide it.
If it was just him who was being beaten, he would still dare to say a few words to his father when he went back to file a complaint, adding fuel to the fire.
But facing Mu Xiang, although he was a fool, he was not stupid.
Wu Guiyuan explained everything in detail.
After listening to Wu Gui's story, Mu Hanfei looked at Mu Kai, who was lying unconscious on the stretcher.
"If you don't succeed enough but fail more often than not, then Lin Ji is the person Fang Yunshan likes, and he is a fourth-grade commander and a monk in the Sun Travel Realm! Even I don't dare to wait for it, how can you be brave?
"
Wu Gui on the side was so frightened that he could not speak. He never expected that Mu Xiang would speak like this.
On the contrary, Mu Kai fainted and never heard his father scolding him.
But soon, Mu Hanfei changed the topic again...
"Then Lin Ji went too far. He dared to take action after the child just said a few words... This matter must not be let go."
After the words fell, Mu Hanfei waved his hand.
"You should go back first. Don't tell anyone about this matter."
"Junior understands."
After Wu Gui left Mu's house as if he was running away, Mu Hanfei first called the doctor at the house to send Mu Kai off, and then returned to his study.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Before Mu Hanfei could respond, a middle-aged man walked into the study.
"Mu Xiang."
"Mr. Bin, what do you think about this matter?" Mu Xiang looked at the middle-aged man.
This Mr. Bin has been in Mu's Mansion for several years and is one of Prime Minister Mu's most trusted retainers.
"There must be something fishy about this matter!" Mr. Bin said firmly.
"Of course I know there is something fishy, but I don't know how to deal with it." Mu Xiang frowned slightly, "After Lin Ji returned to Beijing, he never went to Fengze Tower. Wherever he went every day, what he did was unknown.
The record is clear, why did it happen today? Why did it happen that we bumped into each other with Mu Kai?"
Mu Xiang groped his chin and said word by word: "This matter is not a big deal. If I am shameless, as long as Lin Ji does a good job of showing off, this matter will be over... After all, he has just been killed by Your Majesty.
The marriage is granted to him as the fiancé of the daughter of the Lu family, so it can only be regarded as a family matter."
That being said, there are so many relatives of the emperor.
Mu Hanfei himself also knew that this was just him looking for a way out.
“I don’t know how to deal with it, so I resort to tricks,” Mr. Bin said.
"How to take advantage of the situation?" Mu Xiang asked again.
"Complaint."
"Complaint?"
"Since it is a family matter, it is decided by the parents. As long as His Majesty speaks, no one can disobey." Mr. Bin said, "It seems that it is making a big deal out of something that cannot be brought to the table, but in fact it is putting an end to this matter.
Don’t let others use the topic to make further use of it.”
Hearing this, Prime Minister Mu nodded slightly.
"That makes sense. I'll write a note and hand it over."
"I'll excuse you." Mr. Bin bowed slightly and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he took two steps, Mu Hanfei stopped him again.
"Mr. Bin, please wait."
"What else does Prime Minister Mu have to do?"
"Who do you think is behind this?"
Mr. Bin thought for a while, but shook his head slightly.
"not sure."
"Then let's talk about it."
Hearing this, Mr. Bin paused and then said: "If it is Luo Xuanyi, he has no party members in the court and is His Majesty's lone minister. What he seeks is balance in the court. Maybe he is behind this matter and wants to weaken him.
The influence of the Supervisory Department and the Editorial Department."
"The Supervisory Secretary is fine, but the Editorial Secretary often interferes in government affairs. I think he wants to use the sword to kill people."
Mu Hanfei nodded and motioned for Mr. Bin to continue.
"If it's Fang Yunshan, it's to use Lin Ji's help to earn some face... I heard that several of the Youxing officials of Supervisor Tiansi in the capital died, and one of them was the Chief Editor who was causing trouble?"
"I didn't know about this, it was Lan Zeying's method." Mu Hanfei shook his head.
Mr. Bin nodded and said: "The last one is Lan Zeying. If he... After all, it is Mu Kai who suffered the loss. If he uses the topic as an excuse, he may not be able to ignite the fire and burn it on the head of Supervisor Tiansi."
After the words fell, Mr. Bin smiled and said: "As for the others...only the Duke of Zhen Guo, Lu Guangmu, has this qualification."
"It's possible that anyone planned this, but it's not Lu Guangmu." Mu Hanfei chuckled twice.
"That's exactly what it means."
After these words, Mr. Bin stopped talking and left.
He named three people who were qualified and had positions. As for who they were, it was up to Mu Hanfei to think for himself.
After a moment, Mu Hanfei shook his head slightly and picked up the pen.
No matter who it is, there will always be mistakes.
It's okay to wait and see what happens, or to take advantage of it.
It's just a matter of picking and choosing.
The only thing we know is that someone finally couldn't sit still.
"Who doesn't want to see the editorial department grow..."
...
The news of Mu Kai's beating finally spread.
At that time, there were many diners in Fengze Building, and those who could go to eat there, even if it was only on the first floor, must be famous people.
Lin Ji specifically called out Mu Kai's identity. How could he keep this news hidden?
For a while, many people were waiting to see the response from Mu Mansion.
Mu Hanfei was the Right Chancellor, his daughter Mu Chan was the Queen, and it was his uncle who was beaten.
This matter is definitely a big deal in Beijing.
But the strange thing is that for the past three days, there has been no follow-up to this matter.
The only difference is that the atmosphere in the capital seems to be a little more tense. The tension in the court has spread to the people, and even the soldiers guarding the gate have become trembling.
Everyone knew that this matter would never end so hastily.
...
Supervising Tiansi, in the study of Lin Ji, the commander-in-chief.
"Your Majesty, Wang Zheng, has met Mr. Lin."
"You are the new clerk? Where is the parade? Yesterday he reported illness and went home to recuperate. Why is there no news?"
Wang Zheng's waist bowed even more.
"My lord, Mr. You's old illness relapsed last night and he died."
"Where's the body?" Lin Ji's mouth curved slightly, not surprised.
"According to Mr. You's final arrangements, he has been cremated."
Lin Ji nodded.
"You should know how he ended up like this, right?"
Wang Zheng remained silent.
Lin Ji didn't care and continued to think about himself: "No matter who sent you to me, you must also think about your own life."
Just when Lin Ji was about to give a few more warnings, someone suddenly came to the door.
"Master Lin, Master Fang, please go there."
"Got it." Lin Ji responded and went directly to Fang Yunshan's study without any delay.
After entering the study, Fang Yunshan handed over a message.
"You go there, you want to see people alive and dead, and you want to see corpses."
Lin Ji glanced at the contents of the message and his pupils suddenly shrank.
