After Emperor Chu had dinner, he had already returned to the Taihe Palace, and was about to relax before going to bed. But at this moment, suddenly a chamberlain hurriedly entered with his head bowed.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei Chi is out asking to see you."

"Him?" Emperor Chu frowned, and his heart tightened subconsciously. Knowing that at this time, Wei entered the palace without fear, and there would definitely be nothing good.

After thinking about it, he motioned to the palace people to change into his regular clothes before he said, "Let him go to the imperial study to see me." ”

Half an hour later, Emperor Chu was already sitting in the imperial study with a majestic face. Although he was not wearing a dragon robe at the moment, the emperor's innate domineering spirit of looking down on the world did not need a robe to support it.

"Minister, knock on Your Majesty." Wei Chi fearlessly lowered his head and entered the imperial study softly, and bowed slightly without humility or arrogance, and bowed slightly to Emperor Chu, who was sitting behind the bookcase and looked at him.

Emperor Chu looked at him quietly, and after a while, he asked unhurriedly, "Wei Chi Aiqing missed the night to enter the palace, what's the matter?" ”

"The crime of capital punishment." Wei Chi Wuxing suddenly straightened his waist and knelt down, but his head bowed to the cold and hard ground, "The minister brought important witnesses into the palace in violation of regulations. ”

Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows, looked at him without emotion, and asked in a deep voice for a while, "Who and what?" ”

Wei Chi said fearlessly, "It's about the flood in Longzhou in the southeast, and people are already waiting in the square." However, the man's makeup was untidy and covered in blood. However, the situation is urgent, and the minister has repeatedly exceeded the rules. ”

After finishing the ceremony with a slight apprehension, he finally said calmly, "I beg Your Majesty to order a punishment." ”

Emperor Chu glanced at it coldly, frowned unhappily, but asked lightly, "Wei Chi Wudaunt, do you know that this is the imperial study?" "How dare you bring a bloodied man to meet him? Is Wei Chi Fearless impatient?

Do you really think that he would not dare to execute a counselor with a clean reputation?

"The crime of capital punishment." Wei Chi Wudaunt knocked his head to the ground deeply, although his words were sincere, but Emperor Chu couldn't hear the slightest shame when he heard his tone.

I couldn't help but sneer coldly in my heart, this old bone!

"Go and kneel outside the temple for an hour." When Emperor Chu said this, he turned his head and glanced at the inner attendant.

When Wei Chi fearlessly heard this, he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but at this time he showed shame and kowtowed again, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

He originally committed the taboo of Emperor Chu, that is, he committed a capital crime; At present, Emperor Chu only punished him to kneel outside the palace for an hour, and he was willing to see that person, for him, this is definitely a great gift.

Emperor Chu watched him withdraw from the imperial study with cold eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but become solemn.

When the bloodied man was taken to the imperial study, he immediately knelt down tremblingly, and then he didn't care about saluting, and said nervously, "Your Majesty, something is wrong......

Emperor Chu raised his head, and two eyes as cold as sharp blades shot towards the man. The profound majesty of the emperor was revealed in these two invisible gazes.

The eyes that looked like they weighed more than a thousand catties stared at the man for a long time, and Fang said coldly, "Tell me more about the situation." ”

After that, Wei Chi Wuda, who knelt straight outside the hall, didn't know what kind of conversation was going on in the imperial study. He only knew that in less than an hour, there were Da Nei guards who went out to urgently mobilize the Praetorian Guards on the orders of Emperor Chu.

In the Fenglin House of Mufu, Mu Xiaofeng had already turned off the lights and went to bed, and was sleepy, when a rapid and low "dong dong" knock suddenly came from outside the door.

Then, Leng Yue's straight voice contained a faintly anxious call, "Miss? Miss? Did you sleep? ”

"What's going on?" Mu Xiaofeng rubbed his eyes and got out of bed, and while looking for clothes to put on, he walked to the door in confusion.

"Squeak" opened the door, Mu Xiaofeng stood at the door and probed out slightly, and saw Leng Yue standing outside the door with a slight anxiety, clasping her hands nervously.

"Miss," Leng Yue suddenly saw the girl's delicate eyebrows sinking and calm, and her anxious mood immediately settled, "Suddenly a large number of Praetorian Guards surrounded Mufu outside, and I heard that they would come in to search the mansion." ”

Mu Xiaofeng's eyebrows jumped, "Praetorian Guard? "That's the Son of Heaven Guard, who is in charge of the security of the Imperial City.

Suddenly, he came to outflank Mufu at night, so it must have been ordered by Emperor Chu in person. What can alarm the Praetorian Guard is generally not a trivial matter.

"Search?" The girl pondered for a moment, "What reason?" ”

Even if it is the Son of Heaven guard, it is impossible to break into the courtier's house and search for no reason. The search sounded nice, but in fact it was almost the equivalent of a house raid.

Leng Yue shook her head, "The slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid learned that the Praetorian Guards came to surround Mufu, so she immediately came here to report to Miss." ”

Mu Xiaofeng thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go to the front yard and have a look." ”

Leng Yue couldn't find a trace of panic from her at all, and her heart slowly settled down.

When Mu Xiaofeng went to the front yard, Commander Lin, who led a thousand Praetorian Guards to surround Mufu, had already arrived at Yazhu Courtyard.

Not far from the gate of Yazhu Courtyard, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and said to Mu Tianda with a cold face, "Lord Mu, I am also acting on orders, and I ask Lord Mu not to embarrass me." ”

"Daddy," Mu Xiaofeng called from afar, directly interrupting Mu Tianda's response. Walking over quickly, he bowed his head slightly to Commander Lin, and said, "I wonder if this lord can allow me to talk to my father in detail?" ”

Commander Lin suddenly saw a purple-clothed girl walking quickly, and asked him fearlessly, he couldn't help but glance at the girl with a strange look, his eyes rolled, and then said, "Miss Mu, please, but please Miss Mu try to make a long story short." ”

Mu Xiaofeng nodded at him, "Thank you for your accommodation." ”

After that, she came over and took Mu Tianda's sleeve, and when she walked to the side of the trail Cuizhu, she said quickly in a suppressed voice, "Does Daddy know what's going on?" ”

Looking at the posture of these Praetorian Guards, it is clear that they came with great momentum and preparedness to take him away.

Mu Tianda suppressed the worry and helplessness in his eyes, and pretended to be relaxed, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, it's nothing serious, as far as I know, it's just a misunderstanding." ”

"Commander Lin just came to ask me to go back and help investigate some things."

The girl's eyes sank, and she said seriously, "Daddy, do you think it's really good to avoid the important and hide the truth from me at this time?" ”

Mu Tianda was stunned, thinking of his eldest son who was far away, and then looked at the slim and delicate girl in front of him.

couldn't help but smile bitterly at the moment, "It's my father who is confused, my Xiaoxiao is smart and capable, I forgot that Mufu can only rely on you for temporary support at the moment." However, no matter how capable Xiaoxiao is, she is also my daughter, and I am still used to being a father, hoping to shelter Xiaoxiao from the wind and rain. ”

Instead of carrying the burden of the whole family on your tender shoulders alone.

"It's your brother's side that has an accident," Mu Tianda suppressed his voice and looked at Commander Lin vigilantly, "But I don't know what the specific situation is, I only know that the Holy Lord was furious and personally issued a holy edict for the Praetorian Guards to come here and invite me back." ”

Saying that, he couldn't help frowning worriedly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm even more worried that after I leave, they will enter the mansion to search, but I'm afraid that it will ...... then."

With the strength of a weak woman Mu Xiaofeng, she couldn't stop these Praetorian Guards at all, if these Praetorian Guards who were ordained to the imperial power had to do something in secret, Mu Xiaofeng would be even more unable to stop them.

But at this time, even if the worry was beyond words, Mu Tianda couldn't say anything to her, let alone ask her for anything.

It was enough for him to leave this daughter alone with these things, and the rest—leave it to fate.

Mu Xiaofeng saw his worries from his frowning brows.

"Daddy, don't worry, I will keep the Mu Mansion well."

Mu Tianda really couldn't do anything except reluctantly give her a soothing smile, not even a comforting word.

Because he was deeply uneasy in his heart, although Commander Lin intended to ask him to go back to assist in the investigation, it was still unknown where he would go.

Not to mention, what exactly is it that he wants to help with the investigation.

"Lord Mu, it's not too early," Commander Lin's stiff voice came over coldly, "It's time to go back to your humble position, and please don't make it difficult for your humble position." ”

Mu Tianda had no choice but to nod at the girl, and said quickly in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao, no matter what, don't go head-to-head with them." ”

Mu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, his expression did not show the slightest panic, "Daddy, don't worry, everything has me." ”

Commander Lin personally took Mu Tianda away, but the 1,000 Praetorian Guards he brought with him were still 800 to guard outside Mu Mansion.

After Mu Tianda and the others walked away, Deputy Commander Ma led five hundred Praetorian Guards directly from the main gate to search every corner of Mu Mansion.

Mu Xiaofeng didn't let anyone stop him, just stood in front of him calmly, looked at his particularly long horse face, and said lightly, "Although the deputy commander is on an errand under the orders of the emperor, even if he is a suspect who has committed a capital crime, he can still give the prisoner a chance to defend himself before he is sentenced." ”

"I suppose my lord will at least give me a legitimate reason for a weak woman to search the house, right?"

The emperor is not able to do whatever he wants. Even if the emperor wants to execute a person, he has to bother to come up with a reason to block the mouth of the world, even if that reason is fabricated, he has to fabricate a legitimate reason first.

Deputy Commander Ma is only the deputy of these thousand guards, so it is even more impossible to act arbitrarily in front of everyone.

And at this moment, although he was only facing a cardamom girl, the calm and calm intimidating spirit on her face made him dare not underestimate it.

Even, in the face of such a delicate face, he didn't even dare to come out with the slightest blasphemy.

Under the girl's calm and frank gaze, she still felt a little nervous in her heart.

"According to the report of the relevant personnel," Deputy Commander Ma glanced at him slightly, licked his dry lips unconsciously, and then said, "Mufu may have hidden important evidence, in order to prevent any of you from secretly destroying the evidence, I am now on the order of the emperor to search for the evidence." ”

Mu Xiaofeng's heart sank, but his face showed a dazed and confused expression, "Major evidence? What significant evidence? Can you please make it clear? ”
