When the ministers were sincerely frightened and didn't know what to do, Leng Yue immediately issued a holy decree: "Lin Wei, the waiter of the Punishment Department, and Mu Yanqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”

In less than a pillar of time, two women covered in blood and only half a life were taken to the main hall by the guards. They lowered their heads with pale faces, they knew that this time they were finished.

The only thing they can do now is pray that the arrogance will not involve them. It's just that this possibility is very small at all. Zhang Huan has always been used to being arrogant, and maybe he will push them out to take the blame when the time comes.

These people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot at this time, wishing that they had never known Zhang Huan. But Leng Yue didn't give them time to regret it. asked the half-lying man who was sitting on the ground, "Lin Wei, Mu Yanqing, what crime did you two get into?" Immediately and truthfully. ”

Hearing this, the body that was originally like a dead man suddenly became lively. They straightened up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged. The minister's crime was indiscriminately placed on the minister's throne by Lord Zhang, Your Majesty, the minister was wronged! ”

Lin Huan saw that the two women he loved the most were tortured like this, and the grief in his heart was irreparable, although he knew that he couldn't lose his temper in front of the emperor, he still bit his lip and cried silently.

Leng Yue just glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything. Seeing that although the two of them were covered in injuries, they still knelt there with their backs straight, and couldn't help but glance at the two highs a few times. To be able to have such an arrogant person, I think there must be something outstanding in my ability.

Because of this, Leng Yue's gaze at the two of them also softened a little. It's just that the tone is still very majestic: "Since it is wronged, why don't you see the fold of redressing grievances, arguing that she is just a scholar." What authority does she have to charge you with any crimes? Could it be that this has become her arrogance? ”

The last sentence, Leng Yue almost roared. But the ministers knew that her fire was not directed at the two who were kneeling, but at those who were standing.

So as soon as these words came out, the public ministers were so frightened that they immediately knelt down: "Please let your majesty calm your anger." ”

"Anger?" Leng Yue snorted coldly, "A small arrogance dares to cover the sky with one hand under my nose, how dare I be angry with all Aiqing." ”

When the ministers heard this, they were even more frightened and their legs trembled, and their whole bodies almost touched the ground. He continued to shout: "Your Majesty should be damned, please calm your anger." ”

Leng Yue's eyes glared at everyone angrily, if she could kill people with her eyes, she had already killed all the people below. It's just that no matter how angry she is, she can't really kill all these people.

She took a few deep breaths, and waited for her emotions to calm down before she said, "Prime Minister Mu, this matter will be handled by you, and Dali Temple is now taken over by you." Within three days, I must find out what is going on, and find out all those damn tumors for me one by one. Whoever she is, I must make her pay for it. This is your only chance to make a meritorious contribution. If you can't do it, or can't do it well, give way before it's too late. ”

These words made Mu Xiuyan embarrassed, but also felt special fear. That arrogance was originally Fu Cao's distant cousin. In order not to embarrass Fu Cao, as long as it is not too much, she has always turned a blind eye to her arrogant behavior. Who would have thought that this arrogance would dare to be so lawless. Committing such a heinous sin. This made her not only feel ashamed of His Majesty's trust in her. I am afraid that I will lose my sacred heart because of this.

Now that His Majesty has said everything to this point, how dare she slack off again. Immediately responded: "The minister obeys the order, and the minister guarantees with the head of the item, if the minister does the slightest deviation, the minister will judge himself in front of His Majesty and apologize." ”

Leng Yue looked at her and snorted coldly, "You'd better do what you say, remember, I have the ability to guard my own country." ”

Leng Yue's words made Mu Xiuyan's legs tremble involuntarily. Is His Majesty warning them not to be arrogant, or is he taking precautions against them? If it's the former, that's fine, if it's the latter, it's going to be unthinkable.

After Leng Yue finished speaking to Mu Xiuyu, she said to Lin Wei and Mu Yanqing: "You go back to the prison first, and later I will order the imperial doctor to look after your injuries, and I will not let you be tortured again." If you have any grievances, appeal directly to Dali Temple, as long as the situation is true, I will definitely give you justice. ”

When Lin Wei and Mu Yanqing heard this, they both cried with joy, and immediately kowtowed to Leng Yue and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." ”

Leng Yue glanced at the ministers, then didn't say anything, just asked Xiao Linzi to send someone to send Lin Huan back, and then retreated directly.

Leaving the court, Leng Yue quickly returned to the imperial study, called Jue Ling, and ordered her to immediately send someone to investigate all the things about this arrogant, the most important thing is to check the relationship between Zhang Huan and Fu Caozhi, and whether what Zhang Huan did in the court was instructed by Fu Cao. Or whether Fu Ke knows it.

Although Leng Yue knew that this arrogant person was Fu Cao's person, she didn't know if Zhang Huan's behavior was instructed by Fu Cao, or if it was just Zhang Huan's fake tiger power.

If it's the latter, then it's okay, if it's the former, I'm afraid that the country that she has finally stabilized will start to turmoil again. This is undoubtedly the last thing Leng Yue wants to see.

Leng Yue raised her eyes and looked out the window, a cold light came out of her pupils, I hope Mu Xiuyan won't let her down again this time, otherwise, don't blame her for being ruthless. Nothing can be done again, even if they are the founding heroes. Otherwise, she would have no rules in the world.

After Mu Xiuyu left the court, he did not immediately rush to Dali Temple, but went to Taishi's Mansion. As soon as she entered the Taishi's mansion, she immediately asked the housekeeper if the Taishi was not there. As soon as she heard that the housekeeper said that the master was in the study, she immediately went to the study.

Taishi Mu Xuan saw that she was in a hurry and her expression was solemn, so he immediately waved away from the people, and only asked after the door was closed, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Xiuyan didn't dare to hide it, so she told what happened in the hall in detail, especially what Leng Yue said to her at the end, she also deliberately repeated it.

After speaking, Mu Xiuyu asked with an uneasy face: "Taishi, what do you mean by Your Majesty?" ”

Taishi said to her with some hatred that iron does not become steel: "How can you be so confused! You can turn a blind eye to other things, but how can you ignore such a major event as intercepting and twisting, this is the emperor's taboo! You said such a thing, how can Your Majesty still believe you! ”

Mu Xiuyan's face was also full of guilt, and she said in a deep voice: "I only know that Zhang Zhang is a little arrogant on weekdays, but I didn't expect that she would be so bold and reckless!" If I knew, how could I not stop it! ”

Mu Xuan saw that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to say more, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Since you didn't know about this matter in advance, there is still room for reversal, now, as long as you complete the things that Your Majesty has entrusted to you seriously, you would rather offend General Fu than leave any more leeway, as long as Your Majesty sees our loyalty, then even if she is dissatisfied with you in the end, it will only blame you for dereliction of duty." But in this way, it is better than losing the emperor's heart. ”

Mu Xiuyan nodded, it seems that this can only be the case. She got up and said goodbye to Mu Xuan; "Thank you, Master, then I'll go back to deal with affairs first."

Mu Xuan nodded, "Okay, but you remember, in the future, you must do things in accordance with the laws set by His Majesty." The law is not merciful, and if it is violated, the small one will lose his official position, and the big one will lose his life. ”

Mu Xiuyan nodded heavily, then turned around and left. She understood what the Taishi meant, if she disregarded His Majesty's laws because of some personal feelings, at least like this time, she might lose the emperor's heart, and if she was serious, it would be a party for personal gain, which would be tantamount to rebellion. Once Your Majesty is more serious, it will really be the Nine Clans.

After Mu Xiuyu left, Mu Xuan called the elders of the Mu clan and asked them to find a way to inform Fu Jiao of this matter as quickly as possible. Especially the last words that Leng Yue said to Mu Xiuyu at the end. Let them be sure to pass it on to Fu Ke in person. I hope that Fu Ke can think of a solution as soon as possible.

After the elders left. Mu Clan stood in front of the window, looking at the direction of the palace, and couldn't help but sigh. I thought that the world would be settled, and everything in Gongmi would develop in a good direction. But who knows, such a thing happened.

No one knows better than her how much His Majesty attaches importance to the idea of governing the country according to law. But at this time when it is most necessary to establish the authority of the national law. Fu Cao's people did such a thing, this is simply in front of the world, slapping His Majesty in the face! His Majesty did not directly let Fu Cao be arrested. This can be regarded as giving her a lot of face.

It's just that Mu Xuan doesn't believe that this arrogant behavior will be instructed by Fu Cao. It's just that it doesn't make much sense to investigate whether it's right now. Because whether it is or not, Fu Cao will not escape the crime of lax governance.

Coupled with Fu Ke's heavy troops, His Majesty will inevitably be jealous of her. Now that such a thing has happened, the jealousy in His Majesty's heart will turn into suspicion. The emperor's suspicion is a talisman!

Mu Xuan walked back to the table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and said softly: "I hope General Fu can escape this catastrophe." The country can't afford any turmoil right now. ”

Three days later, in the public court of Dali Temple, Leng Yue called all the courtiers. The originally wide public hall suddenly became crowded.

Mu Xiuyan sat in the presiding judge's seat, and Leng Yue sat in an auditor. Seeing that everyone was together, Leng Yue motioned for her to start. After receiving the will, Mu Xiuyu did not dare to delay. Read out all the evidence she's collected these days.

It's just that as she read out those crimes one by one, Leng Yue's face became darker and darker. It turned out that in addition to the Lin family and the Mu family, at least seven or eight families in Rongcheng in the past two years were persecuted by those so-called high-ranking and powerful people on various charges because they were unwilling to give in.
