On a winter afternoon, the sun shines through the heavy clouds, but it doesn't warm at all. The cold wind penetrated into the house, and the biting chill was instantly dispelled by the heating in the house.

Because of the relationship between the three Gu Sects, Mu Qing is more afraid of colder than ordinary people, so the charcoal fire in Chenzhi Palace has never stopped in winter, just like spring.

Mu Qing closed his eyes to rest, and at this time, Zhu Yu walked into the room lightly and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, Gang Master Qiu has come to report that Dong Qian has solved it." At this time, Huo Pei'an's power in the court has decreased a little, and the shape has become more and more in our advantageous direction. ”

Mu Qing just nodded quietly when he heard this, and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Hu's movements were so fast, even I had to admire, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”

Niangniang calculated accurately, and arranged for King Rui to go to the Ministry of Assistants, so that King Rui had the opportunity to contact Lord Hu, so as to learn part of the truth of the old case; On the other hand, he asked the Qiu Gang leader to give advice to King Rui, find evidence of Dong Qian's crimes, and finally recapture the power of the officials from Huo Pei'an. Zhu Yu's face showed joy, and she sneered gloatingly, "The slave guesses that Huo Pei'an must have been mad in the mansion these days, right?" ”

Mu Qing still had a salty tone, and said cautiously: "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, Huo Pei'an was forced into this situation, he will definitely find ways to fight back, we can't take it lightly, we must be extra careful." You go and inform Qiu Feng and ask him to tell King Sù Rui that he must take the initiative to ask Liang Yinhao to play in the next few days and ask to end his work in the Ministry of Officials. ”

"Why?" Zhu Yu's eyes widened and she asked puzzledly, "Now that King Rui's power in the Ministry of Officials has just been stabilized, let King Rui withdraw from the Ministry of Officials at this time, then won't our previous efforts be in vain?" ”

"As long as Hu Zhihan is here, King Rui has always held the chess of the officials, and our efforts will never be in vain." Mu Qing calmly analyzed, "Now it is enough for the officials to have Hu Zhihan, if King Rui controls the officials for a long time and refuses to let go, then Huo Pei'an will one day use this as an excuse to play on the topic, and then it will make Liang Yinhao suspicious." It is better to take the initiative to resign while the shape is still beneficial to King Rui, so as to completely dispel Liang Yinhao's doubts and vigilance against him. ”

Only then did Zhu Yu understand the master's intentions, and nodded yes: "Niangniang is really thoughtful. By the way, the slave maid heard that as soon as Master Hu heard that King Rui intended to redress the unjust case, he immediately threw himself into this altar of troubled waters without hesitation. ”

Mu Qing was noncommittal, his long eyelashes flickered a few times, and his pale cheeks couldn't show any emotion. Mu Qing didn't seem to want to recall the people and things in the past, she just wanted to put all her energy and thoughts on what she was planning now, she changed the topic and said: "But this time Huo Pei'an was able to calm down and didn't confront the emperor's decision in person, I didn't expect this, it seems that he still has a bit of a brain and knows how to judge the situation." ”

"Yes, although Huo Pei'an lost his subordinates, it's a pity that Dong Qian's crime of accepting bribes was not reported to the world this time, otherwise this fire might also burn Huo Pei'an's body." Zhu Yu was full of indignation, obviously not enough to relieve her hatred.

"You are so naïve, do you really think that Huo Pei'an will be burned because of a servant?" Mu Qing sneered, exuding a cold aura around his body, which was a little colder than the cold winter moon outside. "This old fox is extremely cunning and selfish, and all these people under him are traitors and criminals, looting and collecting money, but on the surface they have nothing to do with himself, and he does a very good job of avoiding suspicion. Once something happens to someone, he immediately shirks his responsibility, does not hesitate to abandon this chess piece, and will never implicate himself. Just one Dong Qian wants to bring down Huo Pei'an, this is simply impossible. ”

Zhu Yu asked angrily, "Since Huo Pei'an cares so much about the safety of his subordinates, why are there so many people who work for him?" ”

"It's not enough to work hard, it's just a matter of profit, who will have trouble with money?" Mu Qing's eyes were indifferent, and he bowed his head and said, "But the relationship established because of money and power in this world is also the most fragile and vulnerable, and when the disaster comes, we still have to go our separate ways." Isn't that Tong Yuan the best example? ”

Zhu Yu did not hide the disdain on her face, gritted her teeth and said, "It's too cheap that Huo Pei'an!" ”

Mu Qing smiled slyly and said, "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, of course it's impossible to let him go." You forgot, we still have Tong Yuan as a chess piece in our hands. I want Tong Yuan to knock on Huo Pei'an in the past two days, and encourage Huo Pei'an to go to the emperor to accuse King Rui of privately accepting and accepting from the Ministry of Shangshu. ”

When Zhu Yu heard this, she couldn't help but stare at Mu Qing in surprise, she didn't understand what the master meant by doing this, didn't this make it clear that she had become her own person and beat her own people? But when she saw that her master had a straight face, she seemed to be very sure, and she didn't seem to be joking.

"That's another reason why I want King Rui to resign from the ministry." Mu Qing explained in a deep voice, the glittering light in his eyes was like a star in the night, "If King Rui is still in the ministry, then Huo Pei'an's performance is a warning in the ears of the suspicious Liang Yinhao, but if King Rui has taken the initiative to give up the ministry, then Liang Yinhao will feel that Huo Pei'an is red-eyed because he lost the ministry, so he deliberately found an excuse to sue and suppress King Rui for no reason." In addition to completely exposing Huo Pei'an's narrow-mindedness, this method will also make Liang Yinhao lose confidence and trust in him even more. ”

"The slave and maid understand, so let's contact the Qiu gang master." Zhu Yu bowed her head and said, and then remembered the letter she received yesterday, and reported, "By the way, Taowu sent someone to send a message to Niangniang, saying that King Rui urged the Qiu Gang Master to review the old case of the year." King Rui is holding on to us like this, and it seems that the matter will not be hidden for long..."

Mu Qing was silent for a moment, and his body slowly leaned against the soft back cushion, and there was a flash of gloom on his face. I had long expected that he would not give up, not to mention that this time he learned such an important clue from Master Hu's mouth, it was even more impossible to give up. That's fine, at least this incident will give him the motivation to fight and the courage to continue. Suddenly, Mu Qing's words changed, and his cold eyes exuded undoubted determination. But you have to sue Sù Taowu, how long can you hide it, if it really comes to the point where you can't hide it, you can use her own identity to block it first. You must warn her that no matter how far the shape has developed, no matter how suspicious King Rui is, you must not reveal my true identity to King Rui! ”
