Chapter 505: Happy Cooperation
Wei Chi Wuxing also narrowed his eyes, stared at the holy decree in his hand, and spat out a faint turbid breath, "Without further ado, hurry up." β
Yao Qingtian nodded solemnly, "I'll set off now." β
When Yao Qingtian appeared with a group of yacha to General Li, it really made Li Huaitian and his eyes widen in shock.
"Lord Yao came here overnight, I don't know what to do?" Li Huaitian stood on the stone steps at the door, looking at the yacha below, his attitude was quite polite, but his face was solemn and gloomy.
"The general is polite." Yao Qingtian nodded at him, and directly took out the Ming Silk Holy Decree in his hand and read it out.
"Let the dog go to Dali Temple overnight to assist in the investigation?" Li Huaitian looked sideways, and his very oppressive eyes looked at Yao Qingtian from head to toe. I couldn't see it from Yao Qingtian's face, so I had to turn my dark gaze and ask with doubt, "I don't know what happened to Nansheng, the dog?" β
Yao Qingtian glanced at him, twitching the corners of his mouth with a smile, but diverted the topic, "This ...... Don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, and ask the general to cooperate. β
Li Huaitian rolled his eyes with a complicated expression, and was silent for a while before turning his head and ordering, "Please ask the second son to come out." β
Yao Qingtian smiled, "General Xie." β
After a while, Li Nansheng was invited to the door, and suddenly saw Dali Siqing waiting in front of the door with a group of yacha, his eyes flashed, and his heart was also shocked.
Li Huaitian's gaze slid from the holy decree in Yao Qingtian's hand, and then fell on Li Nansheng's face, "Lord Yao came by order, and you should go back with him and cooperate well." β
Li Nansheng frowned, but he also saw Yao Qingtian holding the holy decree in his hand, so he had to nod slightly, "Father, don't worry, I won't embarrass Lord Yao." β
Hearing this, Yao Qingtian glanced at him with a strange expression, smiled, and waved his big hand, "Second son, please." β
Li Nansheng calmly walked down the stone steps, and under the escort of the yacha, he followed Yao Qingtian.
Listening to the footsteps of the distant departure, Li Donghai looked at his father, who was still standing on the stone steps at the door, and frowned, and also showed a faint melancholy, "Father, is there any indication in the holy decree that the second brother should go back to assist in handling any case?" β
On this big night, Yao Qingtian personally brought a team of yacha over, and Li Donghai always had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Li Huaitian shook his head, "There is nothing written on the holy decree, only that Nansheng will immediately go to Dali Temple to cooperate with the investigation." β
"Will it ...... What does that have to do with that? Li Donghai hesitated, but couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Li Huaitian frowned, and he was not quite sure, "It should be something else." β
His Majesty has already issued an order to return the two million taels of silver to the treasury within a time limit, so that matter should be revealed, right?
Li Huaitian and his son were ignorant of the reason why Yao Qingtian suddenly came to detain people with the holy decree, but after Leng Yue heard about it, he quickly showed an expression of sudden realization.
No wonder Miss wanted to let the right minister deliberately drag the evidence not to be presented to the imperial front, it turned out to be to divert the attention of the Li family from covering people's eyes and ears, so that Dali Siqing would have enough time to investigate and collect evidence.
The bigger the trouble in the salt shop became, the more high-profile it was, and the more Li Huaitian and the others were in a hurry, the more time Yao Qingtian had on his side, and the more evidence he could grasp.
The secret edict that beheaded Li Nansheng, Mu Xiaofeng knew that night.
So when Leng Yue knew the news, she was in Mu Xiaofeng's boudoir, and she showed deep admiration for her for the first time.
"Miss, what a clever calculation!"
Qing Ruozheng took off the hairpin for Mu Xiaofeng, and when she heard this, she immediately smiled proudly, squinted her eyes, and said, "That's, don't look at whose young lady this is." β
Leng Yue half-squinted, and gave a little roll of her eyes, "Well, it seems that this young lady happens to be from my family." β
Mu Xiaofeng looked at these two girls who had a lot of "you are honored", shook her head with a smile, and said softly, "It's too early to be happy, things may not go so smoothly." β
Leng Yue glared, "The holy decree has come down, can it be that Chrysostom can still say that it will change?" β
Chao Lingxi changed such a slap in the face, Emperor Chu would not be confused like this, right?
Mu Xiaofeng leaned at her and intentionally poured cold water on her, "So what, don't forget that it's a secret edict." "Since it is secretly not made public, even if Emperor Chu makes another secret decree to change it, few people know that Emperor Chu himself has made such a slap in the face.
Leng Yue saw that she was solemn, and her face changed, "What Miss said is true?" So what do we do? β
Can't be, they spent a lot of effort in the early stage, but they got such an unsatisfactory result, right?
"Isn't this my assumption," Mu Xiaofeng looked at her, but her soft and beautiful voice revealed a serious tone, "Your Majesty may not really issue a holy decree to change the secret edict, but if the holy decree is not changed, it does not mean that Li Nansheng will definitely die." β
Mu Xiaofeng glanced at her, and his light tone was not meaningful, "What's more, don't forget that there is also the Li family, and the Li family has a great general." β
Behind the general, there is a bigger and more stable backer - the queen.
If these people are not happy to watch Li Nansheng die, it will inevitably hurt their brains.
Leng Yue's face became more and more solemn, and the young lady just wanted to tell her that no matter how much they did to collect more evidence, it was useless, as long as the people behind Li Nansheng didn't want him to die, he couldn't die.
For a while, Leng Yue looked at the purple-clothed girl who was smiling solemnly and blankly, "Miss, since this is the case, why did we bother before?" β
Why bother to do so many things and put Li Nansheng to death?
Mu Xiaofeng glanced at her, but was not annoyed, only said lightly, "Do you think that your young lady and I are a person who likes to do useless work?" β
If she really wants Li Nansheng to die for the third watch, Li Nansheng will definitely not live for the fifth watch.
Leng Yue was overjoyed in her heart, but looking at the confident girl, her expression became more and more dazed, "What does Miss mean, the slave doesn't understand." β
What does Miss want Li Nansheng to die? Or don't you want Li Nansheng to die?
Mu Xiaofeng hooked his lips, and his eyebrows flowed with a faint sneer, "From now until tomorrow afternoon, it will only be a few hours, and the people on the other side of the General's Mansion are afraid that they don't know what Yao Qingtian is doing when he brings people back." β
In such a short period of time, even if those people have the means to reach the sky, they can't use it.
Leng Yue blinked, which means that Li Nansheng will definitely die?
"But it won't be long before Li Huaitian will receive the news."
Leng Yue's brows tightened, this means that they still have a chance to do something to change...... Oh no, the young lady said that they couldn't change the decision of the Ninety-Five Venerable in the palace, so they could only do something to rescue them secretly.
Secretly speculating, Leng Yue found that he was becoming more and more confused.
Mu Xiaofeng glanced at her, and knew that she was frowning and struggling with something. After being silent, he said softly, "Leng Yue, what kind of punishment do you say death row prisoners are usually given?" β
Leng Yue was stunned, how could Miss suddenly remember to ask this. Unexpectedly, Leng Yue was shocked at the bright eyes of the girl with a smile, and then gradually came back to it.
Mu Xiaofeng watched her eyes gradually brighten, and her expression became more thoughtful, before she said softly, "Now, can you understand what I mean?" β
"Yes, the slave understands," Leng Yue glanced at her, straightened up and said very seriously, "Miss wants him to die without dying." β
Qing Ruo took off all the hair accessories on Mu Xiaofeng's black silk and combed it again, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but interject, "What is dead and not dead?" Death is death, can it still be resurrected? β
Mu Xiaofeng silently glanced at Leng Yue, and then curled the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, but he didn't mean to solve Qingruo's doubts.
If she didn't explain, Leng Yue naturally wouldn't talk much.
Qingruo looked up, looked at this, and then at that. I don't take it to heart, as one of Miss's personal rings, her duty is to be loyal to Miss and take care of Miss's daily life.
For the rest, in her mind, don't embarrass herself.
"Miss, it's not early, it's time to rest."
Mu Xiaofeng glanced at Leng Yue, "You know what to do, right?" β
Leng Yue immediately nodded affirmatively, "Miss, don't worry, the slave maid will definitely handle this matter properly." β
"Well, then I'll leave this to you." With that, Mu Xiaofeng got up and walked to the bed.
This night, people in several places in the capital were panicked, but Mu Xiaofeng had no dreams all night and slept very soundly.
The next day, Mu Xiaofeng, who had a good sleep, got up refreshed, and after breakfast, he ordered, "Red Shadow, arrange the carriage, I will leave the house later." β
Red Shadow smiled and said casually, "Miss is planning to go to the execution ground to watch?" β
"Execution ground?" Qing Ruo, who had just made tea and brought it into the flower hall, was startled when she heard this, "Miss really wants to see such a bloody picture?" β
Cutting off his head alive, just thinking about it, Qing Ruo felt trembling all over, what is there to see.
Mu Xiaofeng took the tea handed by Qing Ruo and took a sip slowly, before he said with a smile, "Oh, I'm going to join in the fun, but I'm not interested in such things as cutting off heads for the time being." β
Qingruo patted her chest exaggeratedly, "Scared to death slave, this kind of thing Miss had better never be interested." β
Mu Xiaofeng watched her turn into a conscious move, and her eyes were slightly gloomy.
There was still half an hour before noon, and the prisoner cart locked up Li Nansheng began to push it up the street, out of the noon gate, and slowly walked towards the execution ground.
The bloody excitement of cutting off people's heads, Qingruo doesn't like to watch it, but there are many people who like to join in this kind of excitement.
Wherever the prisoner cart passed, the people on both sides of the lineβof course, did not see each other off, but showed expressions of excitement or schadenfreude or numbness, crowded to the side and watched.
Among the crowd of people who squirmed around the prisoner carts, there were two faces that stood out from the rest. One is Li Donghai, who looks sad, sad and anxious, and the other is Li Huaitian, who is sad, numb and helpless.
The two of them moved towards the execution ground with the crowd, in addition to grief and grief, Li Donghai's eyes flashed with a certain crazy light from time to time.
"You say, will they do something stupid about robbing the execution ground?" On the street on the way to the execution ground, on the second floor of a fairly elegant teahouse, someone sat by the window, lazily smiling and pointing at Li Huaitian and his son who were hidden in the crowd.
A jade-like girl next to him with a faint and proud look on her eyebrows naturally looked at the crowd, hesitated for a while, and said unsurely, "It should be...... No way? β
Xia Xingshen played with the cup in his hand, staring at the crowd with a smile but not speaking.
The girl turned her gaze to another girl with a soft smile in the audience, "Xiaofeng, what do you think?" β
Mu Xiaofeng blinked, and his bright and transparent eyes looked more and more shining in the shadows. She withdrew her gaze, lightly swept Jun Mo Wenjiao's face, and said with a smile, "Mo Wen thinks that almost half of Nan Chu's military power can be handed over to a person who is impatient?" β
Robbing the execution ground is purely looking for death by yourself.
She hoped that Li Huaitian would be so stupid, otherwise it would be good for Li Donghai to be so stupid. If the pillar of the Li family falls, the one in the Fengqi Palace will naturally no longer be as stable as a rock.
It's so simple and easy to bring down Nan Chu's big man who calls for wind and rain, she will be happy to laugh in her sleep.
Jun Mo asked silently, secretly embarrassed, but couldn't help but quietly raise the corner of his eyes and glance at the lazy and wanton indigo figure.
Although everyone agreed that Li Huaitian would not impulsively do something stupid to rob the execution ground, Jun Mowen still had the same deep doubts in his heart as Leng Yue.
"Xiaofeng thinks that they will really watch Li Nansheng be beaten?" She kept her mouth shut, but then raised her palm and slashed into the air in a head-cutting gesture.
Mu Xiaofeng looked at her, and was really amused by her appearance of having no skills at all, but pretending to be cautious.
"Otherwise, don't ask what you think?" If you don't watch Li Nansheng being beheaded, then you can only find a way to make the high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable change his will before noon comes.
But in this matter, she is almost 100% sure that Emperor Chu will not change his mind.
She exposed the greasy cats of the salt shop, first provoked the anger of Emperor Chu, and then postponed the case of Lingshui Village a little, in order to completely arouse Emperor Chu's dissatisfaction.
In fact, since Emperor Chu ascended the throne, he has been jealous of the power of the Li family, so it is strange that he does not make good use of such a good handle to be sent to Emperor Chu.
No matter what Li Huaitian wanted to do, it was impossible to make Emperor Chu change his decision in a short time.
It was this time that Mu Xiaofeng calculated. If she didn't stab these things in front of Emperor Chu, if there was too much time, she was really not sure if the person in Fengqi Palace would have the ability to turn things around.
Li Nansheng killed Zhang Guang and killed her nephew, so this man must die.
Even if.......
Thinking of Leng Yue's puzzled and dazed appearance last night, the girl's eyes were half-lowered, and a faint smile was hooked on her lips.
Mu Xiaofeng rested on the table with one hand, lazily holding his chin. A pair of sparkling eyes looked at the crowd from time to time, and she looked like a child who felt new and curious when she saw everything.
But no one here dares to treat her as a soft and harmless innocent girl.
is the delicate girl with a shallow smile in front of her, who has the ability to turn her hands into clouds and cover her hands for rain, but I am afraid that they may not be as good as her when they all add up.
"I've seen the excitement," Mu Xiaofeng retracted his gaze, with a hint of boredom between his eyebrows. She stood up, her gaze seemed to sweep over the brocade-clothed man who had been sitting upright like a mountain but was silent, and then stared at Xia Xingshen, who was unchangeable and lazy, "I think we can go." β
