Chapter 267: Life in Danger

But even if Ma Yousheng vomited a bucket of blood in his heart, it was useless, and His Royal Highness would not tell him a little bit of love. Besides, the king who has always been indifferent and rejects people thousands of miles away really has no affection for this deputy commander.

As for Deputy Commander Ma, if you want to continue to search the Mu Mansion, and whether you can find any "major evidence" and go back to the business, this has nothing to do with him Chu Lige.

Deputy Commander Ma looked at his fairy-like back that had faded calmly, gritted his teeth, and ordered the Praetorian Guards behind him, "Let's go in and search." ”

Mu Xiaofeng had already instructed Hongying, and if Ma Yousheng wanted to search it, he would arrange for someone to take him and let him search it.

Chu Lige, who was walking in front, heard this, and never even stopped his footsteps, only nodded to Leng Gang and Zhang Hua slightly, and the two stopped and hugged him.

Zhang Hua said, "Don't worry, master. Leng Gang bowed his head slightly, then turned around and walked towards the Praetorian Guards on Ma Yousheng's side.

When Mu Xiaofeng saw this arrangement, he smiled more and more at ease, and the steps leading the way in front became more and more brisk.

Ma Yousheng saw the two god-like guards walking towards him one after the other, and immediately secretly complained in his heart.

He couldn't offend the one above, but he didn't dare to offend the one in front of him, it was really a thankless errand, no wonder Commander Lin had to give him this opportunity to search just now.

After thinking about it, in order to show his respect for His Royal Highness Liwang, Ma Yousheng specially chose to start with Mu Xiaofeng's courtyard first.

Of course, this search can only be done as a faΓ§ade, Chu Lige and Mu Xiaofeng tasted tea in the octagonal pavilion of Fenglinju with an indifferent face, how dare he really go in and search indiscriminately.

As for secretly doing things like this, under the powerful cold aura of His Royal Highness Liwang, he even felt that his hands and feet were out of place, and of course he was very decent when he searched.

After searching the Fenglin Residence, before Ma Yousheng left, he deliberately arched his hand to His Royal Highness the King of Liwang outside the pavilion, and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, Miss Mu's courtyard is very clean, and she retired first." ”

Chu Lige didn't even raise his hand except for a faint glance at him.

When he went out of Fenglin Residence and went to search other courtyards, Leng Gang and Zhang Hua, the two door god guards representing His Royal Highness Liwang, had been supervising Ma Yousheng with golden eyes one after the other, so even if Ma Yousheng had thousands of opportunities to do things in secret, he didn't have the courage to let people do it in front of these two gods.

In the end, he could only forcibly stir up the errand of His Royal Highness the Wang, and the stupid Mingjin collected nearly 1,000 Praetorian Guards and withdrew them to the outside of Mufu.

As for when these Janissaries will ease their martial law on Mufu? This is not something that Ma Yousheng, a deputy commander, can interfere with.

After Mu Xiaofeng knew that the Praetorian Guards had all withdrawn from Mufu, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then learned that those Praetorian Guards had only withdrawn to the periphery of Mufu, and he was immediately annoyed.

"Don't worry, I've got you." Chu Lige stood up, glanced at her lightly, and then turned around and walked out of Fenglin Residence.

Mu Xiaofeng watched his back fade away, and only rolled his eyes with a slightly wry smile.

She doesn't let herself get into the habit of being dependent on others.

Based on the fact that the Praetorian Guards surrounding Mufu might give the emperor another order to come in and search again at any time, Chu Lige deliberately left Leng Gang and Zhang Hua behind before leaving.

Thousands of Praetorian Guards were dispatched to outflank Mu Mansion, although Xia Xingshen also got the news as soon as possible, but even if he wanted to contribute to Mu Xiaofeng, it was impossible for him to come directly and swagger like Chu Lige.

and could only hide in the dark and smile bitterly, "I really have to admit that he has the identity of leaving the king, and it is indeed a lot more convenient to act." ”

At the very least, Chu Lige was able to appear in Mufu as a prince to suppress Ma Yousheng. But he can't come out as a right minister. Because Ma Yousheng is under the emperor's orders, and no matter how much power he has in his right minister's hands, it is also given by the emperor.

No matter how you say it, you are still a prince, and you are a prince.

And he, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a courtier, no matter how anxious he is for Mu Xiaofeng in his heart, he can't face Emperor Chu openly.

Secretly sighed silently, and after seeing Chu Lige sit in the iconic swaggering carriage, he also quietly left from the vicinity of Mu Mansion.

He couldn't directly come forward to suppress Ma Yousheng, but he could also do something else for Mu Xiaofeng.

After returning to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately summoned someone to the study, "Go and find out immediately what happened in the palace before the Praetorian Guards were dispatched." ”

At the same time, in Fenglin Ju, Mu Xiaofeng also said to Leng Yue in her boudoir, "Since tonight's incident is related to my brother, it must be inseparable from the flood in Longzhou in the southeast, you immediately arrange for someone to find out the reason." ”

To fight back, the first thing you need to figure out is the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Leng Yue nodded solemnly, "The slave will arrange it." ”

Xia Xingshen was the right minister of the dynasty, so he naturally quickly found out about the fact that the imperial historian Wei Chi fearlessly entered the palace at night to meet Emperor Chu.

"Less than an hour after Lord Wei Chi entered the palace, the Praetorian Guards urgently moved to Mufu?" He looked at the person in the study and said, "If you look forward to the time, you must find out the cause." ”

The man replied angrily, "Don't worry, Childe, at the latest tomorrow dawn, my subordinates will definitely find out the matter." ”

Xia Xingshen waved his hand at him, Qingjun's face did not show too much emotion, and only said, "Go." ”

At this moment, it is only two hours before dawn, and it is not easy to find out what Emperor Chu deliberately blocked.

The man didn't say much, didn't say a word, bowed his hand to him and left the study.

Before dawn, he sat alone in his study, facing the darkness that drifted in the shadows, and he didn't even light the lamp.

Darkness is more conducive to his long-term and thorough thinking.

Maybe this time, he'll have to use those hidden powers next. He knocked on the table, a slight smile on his lips, but then a glimmer of light appeared in his dark eyes.

For her sake, she can't take care of exposing some strength in advance.

What's more, the old witch in the middle palace has long been suspicious of him, and has secretly tried a lot!

Xia Xingshen is worthy of being the right minister of Nanchu, and the means of operating in the dark are not ordinary.

Towards dawn, his men brought back the news.

However, when the man heard that he had stayed in the study and never left, he couldn't help but be surprised, and after thinking about it, he knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

Xia Xing's deep and magnetic voice is always so lazy and unhurried and comfortable.

"Childe," the man whispered, hiding his surprise, "found out." ”

Xia Xingshen turned around, looked at his slightly drooping face in the dim light, and said with a smile, "Say." ”

"At dusk today, a man covered in blood entered the city through the north gate." The man paused and explained, "My subordinates have found out that this person is a chief of the Longzhou Mansion, and he is in charge of the materials that have been building the dam recently. ”

Xia Xingshen's eyes moved, and he let out an emotionless "um", "So, this matter is related to the big embankment being built in Longzhou." ”

The man nodded immediately and replied, "Yes, Childe." ”

"The man met Wei Chi Wuxing directly through the city guard, and then Wei Chi Wuxing took him directly into the palace to meet the saint overnight."

He was silent, and then said, "His subordinates guess that he must have evidence in his hands that is extremely unfavorable to Young Master Mu, but what it is is is not clear for the time being. ”

"In addition," he changed his tone, and his expression was slightly solemn and cold, "According to the information obtained by his subordinates, the embankment being built in Longzhou is probably in danger of collapsing due to problems with the materials. ”

Xia Xingshen raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sneer, "Pick up people's teeth." ”

thinks that at the beginning, he used this trick to secretly block the prince, and also took the opportunity to pull down many people from the left minister. Unexpectedly, there are also people who use this method to deal with Mufu in turn.

really responds to the old saying, the moves are not afraid to be old, as long as they are useful.

And in the current situation, it is clear that this trick is very useful.

"Although Young Master Mu has a low official rank in Longzhou, and he is only the deputy in charge of building the embankment, he has access to money, silver, and materials." The man frowned, his tone becoming more and more solemn, "So, ......, the current situation is very unfavorable for him. ”

Xia Xing's eyebrows jumped, but there was still a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

After a pause, he asked lightly, "How is it disadvantageous?" ”

His subordinates received information that he had embezzled most of the silver and secretly substituted inferior materials for the original materials. After this matter was noticed a little, he simply took the first step to destroy part of the evidence; And what was not destroyed, he swept it away directly, and then absconded with the evidence in fear of crime. ”

"Absconding in fear of crime?" Xia Xingshen blinked, and his slightly raised tone already showed his surprise at the moment. It's really anyone who knows Mu Shaoxuan that they don't think that the strict Young Master Mu can do such a thing.

He believed that even if he knew that he was framed and wronged, Mu Shaoxuan would never choose to solve the problem in such a humiliating way as absconding in fear of crime.

Because this method will not solve any problems at all, but will directly stigmatize him, and even affect his father Mu Tianda, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

Although Mu Shaoxuan is strict and polite, he is not a dead brain, and there is no reason why such consequences cannot be foreseen.

All kinds of thoughts flashed, but Xia Xingshen became more and more suspicious of the authenticity of this matter, "And then?" What's the matter with the bloodied Lord Bo who came to Beijing at night? ”

It stands to reason that if Mu Shaoxuan's embezzlement of public funds is really established, even if that master Bo is in a hurry to come to face the saint, at most he will be a servant all the way, how can he get half a life and be immortal, as if he was being chased and killed to the point where his life is in danger?
