The early morning of the garden building is still so fresh and peaceful, the lush flowers and plants are dripping with morning dew, the water splash of the rockery pond is reflected in the rainbow, and the small building standing in the center is white and sacred in the warm sunshine.

Mu Chen leaned on the recliner in the courtyard alone, with drinks and food placed beside him, and two neatly dressed maids stood behind him a few meters away, waiting for the call.

He didn't sleep all night last night, and sat here early in the morning thinking about the case of Qiming Village, according to the current development, as long as there is no official who can take away the wings, no one will bear any responsibility, everything is back to the original point, the ordinary people are slaughtered in front of money and power, and the case that seems to be careless for human life will eventually be understood by everyone as natural selection, and human life is destined to become the only constant answer.

He can't forcibly sanction unconvicted suspects, nor can he question the legitimacy of the law, let alone prevaricate Guo Erniu who trusts him.

"Go, call the girl. The maid entered the building as she was instructed to wake up Kiruna.

After a while, Qi Luna walked out with the maid and stood in front of Mu Chen, fully dressed and carrying two daggers on her back, as if she had clearly known Mu Chen's intentions.

"Go down. Mu Chen asked the two maids to leave.

He sat up from the recliner, approached Qiluna, and whispered to her: "Girl, you go to Ciguang Village again and bring back all the family members of the village chief Zhao Hong. ”

Qi Luna nodded slightly, turned around and summoned the golden dragon, just on the horse, a carriage appeared at the door, Wei Gonglu slowly came down, saw the golden dragon, hurriedly ran into the courtyard, and shouted to Qi Luna: "Patriarch, what are you doing early in the morning?"

"Come down, girl, I'll talk about that later. Mu Chen knew that it was disgraceful for Luna to kidnap hostages and threaten her, but since he knew the truth, he did this to let the truth come to light, in order to avenge Guo Erniu, although it was immoral, he didn't think it was undesirable. Wei Gonglu's appearance made him put his plans on hold, and he wanted to see what else could turn the matter around.

"Yo, Mu Chen is also here, why are you sitting in the courtyard early in the morning?" Qi Luna recalled the golden dragon, and Wei Gonglu came in.

"Why are you here so early?" asked Mu Chen.

"I bring you good news, the old city lord Quan Yuren is back, and the case in Qiming Village has taken a turn for the better, haha. The attendant brought the seat, and Wei Gonglu sat opposite Mu Chen.

"Patriarch, sit down, sit down, what are you going to do?"

"With your news, she won't have to take hostages," continued. "The two of them have the same position on the Qiming Village case, so Mu Chen did not hide it.

"Oh, no, no need, you don't need to go, Prince Ren, you don't know yet, he will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory result. ”

"Yes? It is necessary to have a fair and just trial, and the facts must be restored clearly, and there must be no private court to obscure the matter. ”

"Don't worry, if there is such a big stir in this case, it will definitely be tried openly. There is even better news, the trade passes of the two wasteland girls have been settled. ”

"You're done?" Mu Chen got up slightly.

"It's not me, the old man doesn't have that ability, since Prince Ren is back, we can discuss it with him, he lives in Diyang Capital all the year round, and he is the emperor's eldest son, I believe he must have a way." ”

"You old man is lying to me again. ”

"How can it be a half-ass? He will arrive in a moment, and then you will trust the old man. ”

Mu Chen and the three of them were talking about Quan Yuren in the courtyard, and the sisters in the building heard the voice, and when they saw Wei Gonglu in the courtyard, they thought of the case in Qiming Village, so they woke up Mo Cheng and Guo Erniu and prepared to ask about it, but because of Mu Chen's performance yesterday, he didn't want them to participate in the trial, so he had to hold back his emotions, and the four of them sat in the restaurant very calmly and ate breakfast.

After a while, Quan Yuren came in a carriage, just entered the courtyard gate, and as soon as he saw Mu Chen, he quickened his pace, and Mu Chen and they also got up immediately, and when they arrived, Quan Yuren hugged him, and asked him warmly: "You don't notify me when you come back, you haven't seen me for many years, you really want to mess with me." ”

"Okay, okay, you old man hugs me tightly, sit down. The attendants set up their seats, re-brewed tea, and brought it up.

After the group sat down, Quan Yuren pretended to notice Wei Gonglu and the Patriarch, so the three of them got up again and saluted each other.

The full name De walked over slowly, and the royal guard mercenaries who followed behind them were even more urgent, they walked a few steps past the full name De, and respectfully saluted Mu Chen and Qi Luna, as mercenaries, they finally saw the strongest existence of their own clan, and finally met the head of the pioneers who established their status in the human race. The full name De on the side reluctantly greeted the few people seated one by one, except for Wei Gonglu, Mu Chen and Qi Luna did not respond.

"Quan Yuren, your son said that it is disrespectful for me to call you by your full name, and he will punish me for my crimes, Quan Yuren... Yes. Mu Chen looked at his full name and deliberately told him about it.

"You..."

"Shut up. Mu Chen, why are you so careful, how can one of his juniors know the friendship between us, if Xiao'er offends you, I will compensate you. With that, Quan Yuren got up and prepared to bend down to make amends.

"Come on, come on, you two old men are just pretending to be acting with me all day long, okay, sit down. ”

"How can you say that we are acting? If you don't believe it, the old man will also compensate you. Wei Gonglu also got up, the two most powerful old men in Baoling Prefecture bowed their heads one after another, and the guards and attendants on the side also all bowed down, except for Mu Chen and Qi Luna who were sitting in the entire courtyard, as well as the indignant Quan Mingde, everyone bent over, which made Mu Chen embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, run here for a memorial service, you two will definitely die in front of me, hurry up, get up. Mu Chen stood up from his seat, half-joking and half-dissuading.

Quan Yuren and Wei Gonglu straightened up, looked at Mu Chen and laughed, Qi Luna sat in her seat, half-raised her eyelids and drank tea.

The four people who were eating breakfast in the house heard the laughter and stretched out their heads curiously, and Chunyue saw Quan Yuren who she didn't know through the window, so she asked Mocheng, "Who is that old man?"

Mo Cheng left his seat, stood in front of the window to take a closer look, and replied in surprise, "Yes... It's the old city lord, Prince Ren, why is he here?"

After Mu Chen sat down, he glanced at Quanmingde, and found that he was staring at Qi Luna with affection, so he teased again: "Eh, little city lord, my eyes fell off after a while." I said Quan Yuren, why did your son see the girl, no... It's Nana, and she can't take her eyes off it, and her face is full of infatuation?"

"Really? I really didn't find out. Quan Yuren took the opportunity to turn around and glared at Quan Mingde fiercely.

Quan Mingde immediately came back to his senses, and returned to staring at Mu Chen with a suppressed angry expression.

"Old City Lord, why did you come back this time?"

"Master Wei is not particular, my old friend Mu Chen is back, and you don't notify me, if it weren't for the house slave Lao Chen telling me, I wouldn't know about it. ”

"Ahem, blame me, I've been busy with the case in Qiming Village these past few days, and I forgot about it, haha. Wei Gonglu led the gossip to the point.

"What do you want to do in Qiming Village?"

"What to do, according to the law, it is not possible to confirm that this matter was done by Han Cohen, I..."

"It's not your turn to speak, come on, take him out, and you all go down." "Quan Yu Ren ordered everyone to step down.

"He is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how to be polite, Mu Chen, don't blame him. ”

"He's right, now it really can't prove what Han Cohen did, if you can't find evidence, it's better for me and the girl to solve it." ”

"No, no, I have a basic understanding of the situation, and committing such a heinous crime does require sufficient evidence and detailed inspection, but don't worry, I have been in charge of Baoling Prefecture for 30 years, and I have encountered any kind of case, and I am still confident that this case can be properly resolved." ”

"Don't worry, Mu Chen, since the old city lord has said this, the result of the trial is absolutely fair and just. Wei Gonglu pretended to help on the side.

"Since you both say so, then I won't get involved, but Han Cohen must be guilty, if you can't prove it, don't blame me..."

"Rest assured, he is absolutely guilty. Quan Yuren said affirmatively according to Mu Chen's emotions.

"What happened to the villagers?"

"The old man has already made arrangements, and those who testify in court will be temporarily left in the council to take care of them, and the rest of those in the slums will be taken care of by the guards stationed there, with all the food, drink, and shelter, and then help them rebuild their homes after the trial is completed. Wei Gonglu hurriedly rushed to tell Mu Chen about the situation of the villagers.

"That's good. By the way, there is another matter, someone came, called Jiayue and Chunyue. ”

When the wasteland sisters in the house heard their names, they bounced off the dining table like arrows off the string and went straight to Mu Chen in the courtyard.

"What do you call us?" Jia Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and as soon as she saw Mu Chen, she opened her mouth to ask, and she didn't care about etiquette, Quan Yuren next to her was just about to get up, and when she saw this situation, she sat back again.

"You... This is Quan Yuren, the old city lord of Baoling Prefecture, these two are friends with me from the wasteland, they are sisters, her name is Yabek Jiayue, and her name is Yabek Chunyue. Mu Chen glared at Jiayue, and then introduced the two sides to each other.

Quan Yuren stood up and nodded, Chunyue pulled Jiayue to politely return the salute, and Mu Chen smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ren, please get two merchant group passes for these two wasteland friends to facilitate their activities in the human continent." ”

"This... This..."

"What, you have to shirk it too?"

Seeing Mu Chen say this, Quan Yuren immediately understood that he had asked Wei Gonglu, but he didn't understand why Wei Gonglu refused, it stands to reason that this is a good opportunity to win over and flatter, Wei Gonglu should not give up, while still considering the pros and cons of this matter, he saw Mu Chen's smile gradually retracted, and immediately replied: "Yes." ”
