While holding Yun's confession, Mu Anzhi for some reason thought of what Li Yuhua said on his lips, "Anyone who marries a little wife will not end well."
Although Li Yuhua's words sounded a little unreliable, they couldn't help but pop into Mu Anzhi's mind at this moment. The Zhu family was a prominent family as early as the reign of Queen Mingsheng. Who would have expected such a powerful family?
The clan will fail on a humble concubine.
Mu Anzhi grew up in the royal family and knew the weight of this confession. Princess Yunzhang's parents died, and King Lu no longer existed, but the princess was still the princess. Once this matter came out, the clan government would not stand still.
, the royal family must give justice to Princess Yunzhang in order to safeguard the clan.
This disaster for the Zhu family is inevitable.
Gray lead clouds piled up in the sky, and the shoal wind blew snowflakes that fluttered against the plain paper of the ribbed window. When Hua Changshi pushed the door open and entered, Mu Anzhi had just put down the file in his hand.
Hua Changshi wore a dark fox fur coat, with a fur collar fastened around his neck. The green emerald button shone with jade light among the long guard hairs of the fox. His always gentle face showed rare caution.
"Has the nunnery interrogation concluded?" Mu Anzhi asked Hua Changshang to come forward for tea and asked casually.
A brass kettle sat on the red clay stove and was steaming over a small fire. The aroma of milk and tea wafted out. The milk and tea brewed in this pot were from Northern Xinjiang, with salt, fresh milk and fu tea added.
, drinking two bowls of milk tea in winter immediately warms the whole body. Hua Changshi will come over from time to time to drink two bowls of milk tea. He takes the milk tea offered by Mei Dianbook, holds it in both hands, frowns gradually, and looks hesitantly in his eyes
Mu Anzhi.
Hua Changshi had a temperament similar to that of idle clouds and wild cranes, but he was never hesitant when things happened. Mu Anzhi sent Mei Dian's book down, and Hua Changshi offered the stack of mouthfuls in his hand and sighed, "I don't dare to check anymore.
.”
Mu An glanced over the confession and looked up at Hua Changshi.
Hua Changshi sighed again.
He really didn't expect that a small nunnery would be involved in the secrets of many wealthy families in the imperial capital. Since ancient times, the art of aversion to victory has always been tabooed by powerful families, especially the royal family. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Empress Gillian, she was accused of witchcraft.
Many years later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the crown prince Liu Ju because of the witchcraft case.
This incident not only involves Princess Yunzhang, who married into the Zhu family, but also involves the three princes and concubines. The case of the two nobles being cursed has been called a major case, not to mention other families in the imperial capital.
Although Hua Changshi was not from a wealthy family, he was from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. He had been an official for many years and was well aware of the complexities and unpredictable methods of wealthy families.
Is a case involving the princess and the princess more serious than a case involving most of the wealthy families in the imperial capital?
The older you are in the world, the less courage you have.
Hua Changshi would rather investigate the case of cursing the princess and the prince's concubine than make enemies of most of the wealthy families in the imperial capital!
For wealthy families, knowing their privacy is their enemy.
The most important thing for a wealthy family is not justice, but face and power.
They would not want to see any family scandal happen, just like the Zhu family who directly revealed the Yun family's affairs. Hua Changshi honestly said that he was extremely shocked at the beginning.
By making their mistakes and omissions public in this way, the Zhu family is clearly handing the target into the hands of others. Even now, Hua Changshi cannot figure out why the Zhu family asked the Ministry of Punishment to intervene in this matter.
With the power and reputation of the Zhu family, the matter cannot be concealed until payment is made.
Mu Anzhi read the interrogation record sent by Hua Changshi, and handed the Yun family file on the table to Hua Changshi. After reading it, Hua Changshi became more and more worried, "Your Highness, the interrogation at Taiping Temple might as well be continued later by asking for permission.
"
"It's too late." In a short period of time, Mu Anzhi has understood where Hua Changshi's caution comes from. However, Mu Anzhi is not a self-deceiver. He said directly, "Even if I go to ask His Majesty for an order now, the trial here will not be successful."
They all know the speed, but they won't believe it. Besides, I have no intention of stopping. I will continue the trial!"
"Your Highness -" Hua Changshi's surprised voice was a little higher, and he quickly lowered his voice. He stood up and gave a deep salute, "Your Highness, please think twice. If you poke this honeycomb, Your Highness will be hard to please."
Hua Changshi was still tactful, saying that it was hard to please both sides.
As long as Mu Anzhi investigates the case deeply, the first people he will offend are those wealthy families who want to fold their arms in their sleeves. Not to mention that their own family members are cursed, but the curse can never be said openly.
What's more, curses and nightmares often happen within the family. If you don't know each other without any grievances or grudges, they won't curse you. Those who use birthdates and horoscopes to do this must be close relatives.
In order to cover up their ugliness, wealthy families will do anything.
You obviously investigated the case with good intentions, but in the end you became the public enemy of these people.
Injustice is not unfair!
What's more, even Emperor Mu Xuan did not necessarily appreciate Mu Anzhi's integrity. When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he found a bunch of letters from Yuan Shao, all of which were secretly communicated by General Cao of Tianshan to Yuan Shao. Cao Cao immediately ordered the letters to be burned for peace of mind.
The hearts of all.
No lord can shake the hearts of his subjects.
Therefore, whether it is for the long term or for the future, the best way is to put down the Taiping Nunnery case immediately. Whether those people believe it or not, Mu Anzhi immediately gets rid of this hot potato, which is better than anything else.
The hem of his robe swept over the legs of the table, chair and stool. Mu Anzhi stood up from behind the writing desk, walked around to the front and helped Hua Changshi up with both hands, making Hua Changshi sit down. Mu Anzhi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, his eyes passing through
The growing snow outside the window fell into the distant dark void.
The corners of his crimson lips curved slightly, and Mu Anzhi turned around and said, "I don't have to break my head for this group of people, but it's just a pity for you that there is really no way out if you follow me."
"What did your Highness say? I have been pragmatic all my life and indulged in calligraphy, painting and articles. It was only with His Highness that I really did a few practical things. It was the same with Lao Du. Following Your Highness, we all felt at ease. This time, I was not careful enough.
This puts His Highness in a dilemma."
"Let's stop saying these polite words. The case of the princess and the case of cursing Yuhua are both clear and can be arrested. You go and take charge of these two cases. When the person behind these two cases is found out, I will
Enter the palace and report back to your majesty first."
The person behind Princess Yunzhang's incident was a concubine of the Yun family. Li Yuhua was cursed, and the person behind it was even more ridiculous. She was actually a former slave of the Xu family. It was said that he had previously secretly annexed the Xu family to Li Yuhua and his biological mother Li.
The family's money amounted to thousands of taels. The servant was beheaded, but the servant's family was still there. Because they hated Li Yuhua, they cursed her.
How ridiculous that a servant's son has such courage. Where did he learn about Li Yuhua's birth date, how did he know the way to Taiping Temple, and who pointed out such underhanded methods to him?
If we can't thoroughly investigate every matter, Mu Anzhi will never agree again!
Hua Changshi wanted to persuade Mu Anzhi to escape as soon as possible, but Mu Anzhi said, "I don't care for others, let alone those wealthy families. Once I take over Princess Yunzhang's case, I will investigate it. As for Yuhua
, I won’t let her suffer any injustice!”
The Yushitai has the right to report rumors, so once these guys who are chasing rumors start to act like monsters, not to mention Mu Anzhi also has a quarrel with the Yushitai for scolding the Yushi, Mu Anzhi will be a little bit overwhelmed by these quarrels.
.
What's more, after the early court, Emperor Mu Xuan ordered Mu An to see him and ask him about the matter in detail.
Mu Anzhi said directly, "I don't know if other families are involved. We are currently investigating the case of Princess Yunzhang who was nearly poisoned and the matter of Yuhua being cursed."
Emperor Mu Xuan's cold gaze captured Mu Anzhi's eyes, and he said for a long time, "Stop these two cases before the end of the year."
Mu Anzhi replied respectfully, "Yes."
Mu Anzhi left Emperor Mu Xuan's palace and walked along the palace corridor to the Ministry of Punishments. On the way, he met the prince sitting in a sedan chair to Ci'en Palace. The two greeted each other and after greeting each other politely, the prince lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.
, the strong chamberlain lifted up the chariot sedan and continued to move forward in the winter wind.
The exquisite small hand stove was held in the prince's clear and slender hands. The light in the carriage was dim, and the prince gently closed his eyes.
No matter which way Mu Anzhi chooses, it will be difficult to have both.
Even if Mu Anzhi ends the interrogation of Taiping An immediately, he will be suspected and alienated by all the wealthy families who have something to do with Taiping An for a long time.
If Mu Anzhi insists on investigating, even with his dignity as a prince, the possibility of escaping unharmed is extremely slim.
What's more, this is a choice that will never lose the emperor's heart.
No emperor would want to see his son holding a lot of private secrets of the wealthy family. Mu Anzhi should not be so stupid.
The ice and snow gradually began to rise, and the sedan chair was steadily lowered. There was a chorus from outside the sedan chair, and the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and fine ice slag and snow particles hit his face. The prince seemed not to notice, and held the hand of the chamberlain to walk out of the sedan curtain, and walked into the boundless
in the wind and snow.
