Chapter 638: The Man Behind the Scenes
Yuan Jinyu glanced at Mu Ze, and seeing that his face was quite stable, she knew that things should not be as bad as she thought. So what are these two brothers waiting for, why don't they tell the emperor that the emperor is now being imprisoned in prison by Cheng Lan's son?
Wei Chuqiu was also in a dilemma, after he got along with Mu Que in Nanjiang City for a while, he had already regarded this prince as a confidant, so he was extremely reluctant to listen to the dispatch of the king of Chu.
But now these immortals are fighting, and it is these mortals who are offended, but it is Mu Que, seeing that he is caught in it, he is in a dilemma, so he gives him a look and asks him to go down first.
Wei Chuqiu naturally took advantage of this opportunity to leave, otherwise King Chu's anger would involve him, and he would not get a good end.
The king of Chu really thought that the emperor's life and death were unknown, and his brain was spinning rapidly, what kind of strategy should he adopt to catch these princes.
Eyes swept over, Mu Ling and Mu Que had anger on their faces, Mu Ze was still cold, Mu Zhao stood not far away, his eyebrows were low, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The king of Chu now feels that Mu Zhao has to worry a lot more about these princes, and the most important thing is that he is now fledgling, as long as he eradicates the other princes, Mu Zhao will definitely not be able to fight himself in the future.
Now he is the eldest son of the emperor, and Yuan Xiuyu also gave birth to a son-in-law for himself, and he is very loved whether it is in the people or the court. Mu Zhao, what does he compare with himself?
Yuan Jinyu also glanced at it with some suspicion, thinking that he was quite calm this time, these princes made trouble, and he didn't interfere......
Wait a minute...... Yuan Jinyu's eyes widened suddenly...... So that's it!
She looked at Mu Ze suddenly, and saw Mu Ze nodding invisibly, and her eyes seemed to say: That's it, you actually thought it through.
It's no wonder that Yuan Jinyu couldn't think of it before, after all, the southern tour in this life is too different from the previous life!
The king of Chu was determined to take a few princes into custody, but of course those princes refused to obey, and just when the war was about to break out, someone ran towards Mu Zhao.
Mu Zhao first froze for a moment, and then his eyes were full of horror. Didn't he already tell this man not to appear in front of him again, no matter what happened?
"Your Highness......" As soon as the man ran to Mu Zhao's side, he fell to the ground bleeding from seven holes: "We ...... Hit the ......"
Mu Zhao's mind exploded, and he took a step back suddenly: "Who are you? Why are you here!
This change made everyone stunned, including the other four princes who were still thinking about how to eradicate the other party just now.
They didn't know what was going on, and the atmosphere that was supposed to do it suddenly froze.
Mu Zhao still stepped back vigorously, but his body bumped into a person.
When he turned around, what he saw was Mu Ze's outstanding but very gloomy face. Mu Zhao screamed in fright, and as soon as his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground.
He knew the position was humiliating, but he didn't have the courage to stand up.
Mu Ze looked at him coldly: "Until now, are you still refusing to admit your mistake?"
Mu Zhao didn't know what the matter had exposed, his lips were purple, and he said tremblingly: "Brother Huang, this king, this king doesn't know what you mean......
"Then when you see me, can you think of what Lao Jiu meant?" The emperor's voice sounded from the door, and Mu Zhao turned his head, even more shocked.
He sent so many people, and the emperor was rescued? And unscathed?
Mu Zhao couldn't believe his eyes, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't speak.
"Father's ......"
The emperor had already walked in front of him at this moment, stretched out his hand and gave Mu Zhao a slap: "Evil obstacles!" He was also a practitioner in his early years, although he has not made much progress over the years, but it has not been wasted, this slap, but with strength, Mu Zhao was directly slapped to the ground, and his face quickly swollen.
He thought that the people sent should have been killed by the emperor, so he said tremblingly: "Father, why did you beat your sons......
"Lao Jiu, tell me why I beat him!" The emperor looked at Mu Zhao again at this moment, and he no longer had the slightest sense of pity.
Mu Zhao had already sensed that Tang Yu was nearby, so he said, "Bring someone up." Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, I saw Tang Yu walking in with two men in black.
These two men were the leaders of those people, and the rest of them had already been killed by him in prison.
When Mu Zhao saw these two people, his lips were gray. He couldn't believe that these people had just missed. Doesn't it mean that their martial arts skills are very high, and they don't miss any assassinations? What is the origin of the person who escorted them here?
Mu Ze saw that the emperor obviously didn't want to talk to Mu Zhao anymore, so he said lightly: "When my father was poisoned, he was poisoned, and by the way, his surname is Tang." ”
Last name: Tang ...... He didn't know what kind of poison the emperor had been given at the beginning, but he had already dispatched the people from the Tang Sect, and it was obvious that the situation was extremely dangerous at the beginning.
Mu Ze was not worried that a few princes knew that he had contact with the people of the Tang Sect, after all, he had been in southern Xinjiang for so many years, if he really had nothing to do with the forces in the rivers and lakes over there, it would attract suspicion.
"You first sent someone to poison the emperor and blame the king of Chu, and then spread songs and ballads, wanting to get rid of King Duan, in order to make the evidence conclusive, and in order to provoke the relationship between several princes, you even went to see Cheng Yishou and put pressure on him to commit suicide. Now you are one step ahead of several other princes, and you have found out that the emperor was imprisoned in Nanjiang City by Cheng Yishou's son Cheng Lan, so you sent so many martial arts masters to kill the emperor, in order to make the infighting between several princes more intense, is what this king said right?"
Mu Ze is not a person who talks a lot, but since the emperor asked him to investigate this matter thoroughly, he has to explain it clearly from beginning to end.
"Do you think that the emperor is missing, this king and the royal brother can still make up lies about his private patrol in Weifu, but if he dies, it is a real lack of protection; and Cheng Yi has no evidence to defend his death, and it is difficult to clear the suspicion of King Duan; plus the evidence of the crime of the King of Chu that the king investigated before, you can make the king of Chu also fall into the quagmire. The elders may try this matter, but if you mix the water in the middle, these things will not yield any results from the interrogation, and this king and the other three imperial brothers will carry such a stain in their lives, so they are naturally not the ideal heirs to the throne. If the three of us are opposed, it will be more beneficial to you, after all, we are chaotic ministers and thieves, you are a person who is supported by the elders and the people of the world, and it is expected by everyone, even if someone ascends the throne, it is not justified. ”
Mu Ze sneered, making his face even more handsome: "You kill three birds with one stone, it's really exquisite." ”
Mu Zhao's whole body was now soaked with sweat: "No, Imperial Brother, this king does not want to harm his father, nor does he have the idea of framing the extremely imperial brother...... This king has never done anything......"
"Now that the assassins are already kneeling here, do you dare to say that you haven't done anything?" Mu Ze's eyes were full of majesty.
Mu Zhao gasped heavily, his head rang, and he didn't know what to say. He only explained palely: "These assassins ...... It wasn't arranged by the king, and the king didn't know them at all......"
The two assassins were on their knees at the moment, their heads bowed, and they didn't say a word.
Mu Ze was not worried about Mu Zhao's stubborn mouth: "Since you don't know the assassin, you should know you, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Thirty walked in with a person. King Duan immediately recognized him, after all, he had already seen this man a few times in Nanjiang City.
"Cheng Yishou, you didn't die!"
When Yuan Jinyu saw Cheng Yishou, he thought in his heart, sure enough.
With Mu Ze's temperament, since he has already interrogated the lame staff, he must also know that the person behind it is Cheng Yishou. If he doesn't arrest him, he won't fail to find someone to watch him.
So this morning, Yuan Jinyu felt that Cheng Yishou had died a little strangely. Now that I see him as a big living person, it will be clear to you.
Mu Ze deliberately deceived Mu Zhao, making him think that he could take advantage of the fisherman with his left hand and let him go to the emperor. And now, when Cheng Yishou was also escorted up, Mu Zhao really couldn't explain it at all.
After all, all the things that Cheng Yishou did were instructed by himself!
The emperor is so angry that he can't wait to draw his sword and kill this son. Did he really bring a few royal families to Jiangnan this time to inspect the people's feelings? This is naturally due to one reason, and more importantly, now that the position of the prince is vacant, he must always choose the most suitable heir!
The king of Chu worked hard to deal with political affairs in the capital, although Mu Que worked all the way, but there was no party or selfish behavior, not to mention Mu Ling and Mu Ze, they were always by their side and did their best for themselves.
Even if so many things happened this time, Mu Ze was still at ease.
But look at Mu Zhao, what did he do? Poisoning himself is not enough, he can't do a single trick, he even has a second trick to spread songs, and a third trick to send someone to assassinate! Only today did he realize that he really gave birth to a good son!
"Mu Zhao, you know that you are wrong. "In the past, the emperor called him eleven directly, but this time, he called him by his name.
Mu Zhao knew that he might not be able to escape death, but he still crawled over, hugged the emperor's trouser leg, and cried bitterly: "Father, father, you believe in the son! The person who poisoned the emperor was not the son! It was the king of Chu who poisoned him! Since he had already poisoned his father, the son-in-law was worried that you would not have so much evidence to punish the crime, so he would spread such a ballad! Father, the son-in-law is thinking about you!"
"What a thought for me!" The emperor kicked him in the heart, and kicked Mu Zhao so much that he vomited blood: "The ballad, you can still find such a high-sounding reason, what about assassinating me in the prison cell!
Mu Zhao lay on the ground and cried: "Father, the son really knows that he is wrong...... Erchen is wrong, you spare Erchen......"
