Chapter 157: Unjust Cases
"I also ask Miss Mu to rest here for a while, and the slave will come to dress up the girl later. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" brought Mu Yubai to the destination smoothly, and the maid finished speaking simply and clearly, and then turned to leave.
What a girl with personality. Looking at the handmaiden's cold back, Mu Yubai sighed in her heart, this handmaiden's status in the Duan Mansion must not be low, and her speech is more powerful than that of ordinary young ladies.
"Sister, you're tired." Qi Feng diligently poured tea and water for Mu Yubai, but Mu Yubai's attention was all focused on Nie Yun.
"Master Nie, I really didn't expect you to come." said the first sentence to Nie Yun in more than ten days, Mu Yubai admitted that she was simply looking for something to say.
Rather than chatting, she wanted to know what happened more than ten years ago, and she also wanted to know what Duan Ang's real purpose was in recalling him this time.
"I didn't expect it to be because of me...... Miss Mu. ”
"I've been a young grandmother for five years, and now I'm really not used to being a girl who is still a girl." Mu Yubai took out his pipe from his bag and lit it for himself: "Master Nie doesn't need to blame himself for my poisoning, people must always have some value in their own lives, so that they can enjoy everything they get with peace of mind." I poisoned you for Master Nie, which means that I will gain something next. ”
"Miss Mu is really relieved." Nie Yun arched his fist at Mu Yubai in admiration, and when his deep eyes looked at Mu Yubai again, he felt more pity.
Qi Feng keenly caught the change in the other party's gaze, and a trace of innocence flashed from his eyes, and the young man thought, is he too indulgent to this sister on weekdays?
"Master Nie, don't say that." Mu Yubai's eyes narrowed slightly, and a puddle of water appeared in his eyes: "Although I understand what I should do, I don't want to be a ghost who died unjustly, if Master Nie is kind-hearted, can you tell me the whole story of that incident more than ten years ago, so that even if I die for it, I can die clearly?" ”
"Miss Mu knows, the less you know, the longer you can live?"
"Master Nie's words are wrong, the less you know about some things, the better, but there are some things that you know more, so you can find a way to deal with them." Knocking off the burned cigarette ash, Mu Yubai stuffed the pipe again, and at the same time patted the stool beside him, motioning for Nie Yun to sit down and speak slowly, full of posture ready to listen to the story.
This woman is really ...... Nie Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, when this kind of family and country secrets came to her mouth, it became the gossip of the Li family, the owner of the family, and she would also put on a posture, which I should naturally know.
"Actually, I don't know much more about this than Miss Mu." Nie Yun sat down with kindness, and Mu Yubai also poured him a cup of tea intimately.
Fortunately, she righteously refused Duan Ang's arrangement to send her to summon the girl before entering the mansion, otherwise she really couldn't chat so leisurely.
"Bai Shouyi is my master, since the first day I joined the Iron Guard, he has been with me, and my kung fu is taught by him." Speaking of his master, the iron-clad man's eyes also flashed with a hint of red: "At the time of the accident, it was when the eastern coastal Japanese were rampant, and the guards of the East Sea Province were unable to suppress it for a long time, so the Holy Lord sent Yu Lin Wei to help exterminate it, the clinker Japanese Kou were fierce and abnormal, even if Yu Lin Wei helped, they failed to catch them all several times, the war entered a stalemate, but the loss of the front line did not decrease at all, and the Tokai Province garrison general asked the Holy Lord for equipment support. In the past, this should have been Yu Linwei's business, but that time Yu Linwei almost poured out of the nest, so the matter of escorting the military salary fell on the head of the Tiewei at that time, my master. We all thought it was just an ordinary errand, but we didn't think much about it until we entered Tokaido and encountered robbers. However, after the master and I had a brother of the Iron Guard fighting hard to repel the robbers, things went in a direction that none of us could have imagined. The defenders of Tokaido, who had come to our aid, sent a complaint to the Imperial Front, accusing the master of colluding with me with the robbers and intending to steal the baggage, and to our surprise, they even took out a letter from the master to the leader of the robbers. Speaking of this, the sadness in Nie Yun's eyes had all been replaced by anger.
"Then you didn't try to defend yourself?" Mu Yubai was a little angry after hearing this, this was obviously another corruption case that forcibly threw the pot, but she didn't know who was involved.
"How do you justify it?" Nie Yun roared: "Overnight, ironclad evidence appeared in front of the emperor one by one, and the master and I didn't even have a chance to defend themselves, and in the end, the master hanged himself in the prison of the Criminal Department in order to prove his innocence. As soon as the master died, the battle situation in the east came one after another, as if the evidence of the master's guilt was confirmed......"
"So you chose to resign and go into hiding?" Mu Yubai looked at the man who had been praised by her as a walking hormone, her gaze was subtle.
"As long as I go one day again, there will be people who are uneasy for a day, the Criminal Department did not convict Master before his death, and the Criminal Department's statement to the outside world after his death is also that Master can't think of it, and he has committed suicide. My retreat is the best way to preserve Master's last bit of honor. ”
"Then why are you going back to this muddy water now?"
"Because...... It's going to change. ”
When Mu Yubai arrived at the Guogong Mansion, it was still morning, Mu Yubai finished lunch, and after waking up from a nap, the maid who led her way in the morning brought a large group of people to the Libai Courtyard where she rested.
First, he took a careful bath for Mu Yubai. Although Mu Yubai was unwilling, he was still forced to be washed from the inside out.
Then he commanded a group of people to dress her up.
This kind of puppet feeling of being manipulated made Mu Yubai particularly unhappy, but after all, it was someone else's land, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart and let others fiddle with it.
"I said, gold doesn't want money, don't you, if you stick something on my head, I'm going to beat someone." When his head was pressed by the beads and couldn't lift it, Mu Yubai finally broke out.
She neatly pulled out the golden hairpin that had inserted her head, and pointed to the maid who was responsible for combing her hair and said: "Lao Tzu's head, only one headdress is allowed, many are the same, I won't go to tonight's banquet!" ”
"Miss Mu is angry, the third master specially instructed that tonight is a big matter, and you need to let ......"
"Don't use Duan Ang to pressure me, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set, even if Duan Ang comes in person, if I don't go, I won't go!" Poked a golden hairpin into a pot in front of the windowsill that was in full bloom, and Mu Yubai, who had a fierce face, successfully scared the girl away.
"Cuizhu, you should step back first." The commander-in-chief of the maids, the maid who was in charge of guiding the way, spoke: "I will dress up Miss Mu." ”
