Mo Cheng returned to the garden building, lying on the bed tossing and turning, she wanted to see the patriarch as soon as possible, and she also wanted to tell Mu Chen what happened today as soon as possible, being alone in this empty big house made her a little uneasy, and she felt a sense of loneliness that she was no longer needed.

In order to help Quanmingde, Lao Chen planted eyeliner everywhere, although it was not as good as Wei Gonglu's all over the city, but it was enough for him to grasp the news, and after learning about Han Keen's matter, he became more and more anxious, the old city lord had not arrived for a long time, he could only watch Wei Gonglu pressing forward step by step, but there was no way to deal with it.

Mu Chen and the others searched for the village chief Zhao Hong unhurriedly, and finally found him in the bushes a few miles away from the tomb, he was cornered by the Cerberus, holding a tree trunk and begging for mercy, closing his eyes and not daring to face the three bloody mouths.

"Hey, isn't this Village Chief Zhao? His physical strength is so good, he has run so far in such a while. "Mu Chen recalled the Cerberus and summoned the Black Dragon.

"Lord Mu Chen, Grand Patriarch, please spare me, I..." Village Chief Zhao just opened his eyes and saw the black dragon behind them, he was immediately speechless and collapsed on the ground.

"I don't care if I don't spare you, I promise this kid to help him avenge him, you are an important witness, go to the noble council to explain." With that, he dragged him to the feet of the black dragon.

The five of them sat on the black dragon, and at the same time as taking off, the black dragon grabbed Village Chief Zhao with his hind paws, held him in his claws, and flew towards the garden building.

By the time they arrived, it was already the middle of the night, and Village Chief Zhao had not been able to withstand this special flight, and had already passed out when he landed. Mo Cheng was half asleep, and when he heard the voice, he went out to greet him, and saw Mu Chen hurriedly explain what happened today, and then hugged the patriarch again, refusing to let go.

"This Wei Gonglu is quite fast, we just found out a little eyebrows, he has been arrested, since this is the case, he will be sent to the inquisitional hall tomorrow to see how he decides. ”

After a day of running from morning to night, everyone was exhausted, and after detaining Zhao Hong, they all went back to the house to rest. The eyeliners did their duty and ran to report to their masters.

Wei Gonglu waited in the council early the next morning, he didn't dare to go to the garden building, for fear that Mu Chen would say that he was following him again. Lao Chen also used various excuses to come out of the inner courtyard from time to time to investigate. Both of them anxiously waited for Mu Chen's arrival.

In the garden building, except for the servants who got up early to clean up, none of the distinguished guests got up, including Zhao Hong, the village chief who experienced passive soaring yesterday, and they slept until noon, and the two sisters walked out of the room.

"Mu Chen, get up, get up. Katsuki yawned and knocked on the door.

"Ha, what time is it?" Mu Chen opened the door and responded.

"It's noon, I'm hungry. ”

"Wei Gonglu, they must be in a hurry, let's have lunch first, and then go to the council. ”

All the magnates of Baoling Prefecture gathered in the noble council, and everyone was nominally here to jury Han Keyn, but in fact they wanted to take this opportunity to meet Mu Chen and get acquainted with this stranger whose future was related to their fate.

Until two o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Chen and his party of six people plus a witness who had made meritorious contributions appeared in the square outside the council, Wei Gonglu got up and went out to greet him when he heard the news, and the magnates also followed behind him. The crowd poured into the square, causing the passing people to stop and watch, and they did not understand what so many nobles had gathered here for, since it was not the New Year's Day, and they had not heard of a major decree to be issued in the state.

As soon as Mu Chen and Qi Luna got off the carriage, Wei Gonglu greeted them, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "These little things can be handed over to the old man, and you can go in person, how to say that you are also a distinguished guest of our Baoling Prefecture, and it is really against etiquette to let the guests solve the problems in the state." ”

"Alright, don't be polite. What do you mean, make such a large group of powerful people to greet me?" Mu Chen pointed to the nobles behind Wei Gonglu.

"They are the jury of the trial of Han Cohen's case today, and when I heard that you are here, you will be the first to see the demeanor of the pioneer head of the first place, no..."

"Don't be polite, let's go in. ”

"Make way for Mu Chen and the Patriarch. ”

The nobles retreated to the sides, Mu Chen walked to the council in the middle of the crowd, the magnates saluted one after another, even the two sisters of the wasteland who followed at the end were treated with courtesy, Jiayue held her head high and accepted the courtesy, while Chunyue looked embarrassed and nodded at them frequently.

Compared with the commoners, Mu Chen's reputation among the nobles is worthy of his title of the head of the pioneers, but the faces of this nobleman and Diao Min are surprisingly the same, what is the difference between these powerful people who wear gold and silver and the market swindlers in the black market. ”

"Sister, be quiet, don't let people hear. The two sisters muttered quietly.

Entering the living room of the council, Wei Gonglu sat on the main seat, Mu Chen, Qi Luna, Mo Cheng, Jia Yue, and Chunyue sat on the left hand side in turn, and Guo Erniu and Village Chief Zhao stood behind them. Across from them sat three chiefs and a few nobles, and the rest all stood around the seats, surrounding them in the center.

The attendants came in with teacups, and when they walked towards Wei Gonglu, he stretched out his hand to stop them, and gave the first cup of tea to Mu Chen, Wei Gonglu respected Mu Chen in all the details, which not only showed his mind, but also reminded the magnates present that they must put themselves in the right position and not be arrogant.

"I heard Mo Cheng say that you have already captured that Han..."

"Han Cohen. Murphy reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, Han Cohen, has he pleaded guilty?"

"The old man is reviewing the case, and he has already sent someone to arrest his accomplice, Zhao Hong, the head of Ciguang Village, and will retry the case when the prisoner arrives. ”

"Okay, I'm used to being followed and watched by humans for a long time, so I don't have to deliberately pretend that I don't know anything. "The nobles of the imperial power began to monitor the Pioneer's every move as early as thirty years ago, and Mu Chen was used to it when he was in Infinite City, compared to the number of eyeliners there, this place is a small amount.

"Haha, it's still an old friend who speaks straightforwardly, so I won't beat around the bush, take down the village chief Zhao Hong, put him in the dungeon, and wait for the trial. ”

"My lord, Lord Imperial Assistant, Lord Mu Chen, Patriarch, the villain said everything, you spare the villain. Village Chief Zhao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and was finally dragged out by two guards.

"Mu Chen, this teenager... Until the case is over, he should remain in the House of Parliament as a witness and be temporarily supervised, but..."

"He can't do it, don't any of you want to move Erniu. Jiayue got up and stood in front of Guo Erniu.

"I'm sorry, my lords, but she's a wasteland and doesn't know the laws of humanity. Mu Chen opened his mouth to explain, and at the same time waved his hand for Jiayue to sit down.

"Although the law is not merciful, it must also be reasonable, and he is a victim of a teenage child, and the old man also thinks that the supervision is inappropriate in the council, and besides, it is still under your care, and the old man believes that he will not do anything out of bounds. Just stay with you, as this girl thinks. ”

"Thank you, Lady Imperial Supervisor. Ha ha. ”

"Laughing, laughing. ”

Lao Chen ran to inform the young city lord after Mu Chen and they entered the living room, this time he had to let him come forward to protect Han Keen no matter what, he was Prince Li's brother-in-law, if he was publicly executed in Baoling Prefecture, Wei Gonglu would successfully provoke the brotherly feelings between the old city lord and Prince Li, and destroy the union of their two forces.

"Young master, Wei Gonglu wants to kill Han Keen, he is the brother-in-law of your third uncle, and if he wants to die, we will turn against Prince Heli. ”

"Why did you kill him?" asked Quan Mingde, sitting listlessly behind his desk.

"Because he sold his wings and killed the people of Pingming. But..."

"That's not damn it, what else is there to say. ”

"But if someone dies in Baoling Prefecture, how can we explain to Prince Li?"

"Isn't Wei Gonglu going to kill him, what's our business? ”

"That being said, after all, Baoling Prefecture is the master and you are in charge, and Prince Li will believe that if it weren't for your father and son's instructions, he would dare to be such a blatant killer?"

"That's the matter of Uncle Sanwang, he has to think clearly and naturally. ”

"Young master, young master..."Lao Chen saw that he was indifferent, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. But he didn't want to give up, so he paced back and forth in the room, thinking of other ways.

After a long while, he said: " Young master, you can not save Han Cohen, Prince Li, you can not care, but what about the Patriarch, the Patriarch also agrees to execute Han Cohen, since the Patriarch accepted the appointment, you have been careful to take care of her, only allow her to deal with the Warcraft and the Wasteland, in the name of maintaining Baoling Prefecture Antai to establish prestige among the nobles, to avoid her involvement in disputes between the powerful, you said that she is simple and kind, not enough to protect herself, but this time, he listened to Mu Chen, and was used by Wei Gonglu to publicly support the trial of Han Cohen, then as long as Han Coen is tried, it must be a capital crime, and then the Patriarch will no longer want to be alone, Wei Gonglu will take the opportunity to win over Mu Chen, and Prince Li will also learn that in addition to the Wei family, and the Patriarch is involved, this is not a dispute between the nobility, it will become a wrestle between the imperial powers, how can we protect the Patriarch at that time, how can we let her live simply and kindly. Lao Chen knew that the young city lord's heart was like ashes, and only Qi Luna could still pull his heartstrings, so he deliberately emphasized Qi Luna's situation and said that she was about to fall into the trap set by Wei Gonglu, so that he would be uneasy and personally come forward to solve it.

"It's... But Nana..."

Lao Chen saw that his full name was somewhat loosened, and then persuaded: "Young master, since Mu Chen came back, the patriarch seems to have changed a person, everything in the eyes of the sky has become obedient on weekdays, and he has become deeply involved in power and conspiracy, the old slave does not know her past with Mu Chen, and he does not dare to speculate, but this Wei Gonglu must not have a good heart, we can solve the matter of the patriarch slowly, as long as she is in Baoling Prefecture, there is always a way to make her change her mind, but at the moment Wei Gonglu is in front of him, if you don't stop him, you and the patriarch will be farther and farther apart." ”

"Lao Chen, change my clothes, I want to participate in the trial. ”

The loyal house slave Chen You finally said that the young master's full name was De, and he wanted to stabilize the situation before the arrival of Prince Ren and protect Baoling Prefecture for the father and son.
