Since those ministers no longer have the heart to do this and that, then Mu Xiwan's side is finally more stable.

It's just that Murong Ye's army is pressing, which makes Mu Xiwan a little headache, and now Mu Xiwan has to seize the time to find Feng Chengyi in addition to dealing with Murong Ye.

And to find Feng Chengyi, Mu Xiwan was all sent to the emperor's secret guards for Mu Xiwan, and the emperor's secret guards for Mu Xiwan were very reliable, so Mu Xiwan was very relieved to hand over the matter of finding Feng Chengyi to them.

However, Feng Chengyi has not heard from him for a long time, and Mu Xiwan is very worried in addition to being tired, after all, it has been so long, and Mu Xiwan doesn't know if Feng Chengyi's current situation is good.

In fact, in addition to the secret guards that the emperor gave to Mu Xiwan, Feng Chengyi had already left some back roads for Mu Xiwan in the capital, and Lin Zhiyuan was that person.

Lin Zhiyuan has always been very loyal to Feng Chengyi, so when rumors began to spread the news of Feng Chengyi's disappearance in the capital, Lin Zhiyuan had already sent someone to secretly start an investigation.

Lin Zhiyuan also has his own intelligence network, so he quickly investigated the inside story of Feng Chengyi's disappearance, but Lin Zhiyuan didn't believe that Feng Chengyi would disappear for no reason, so while Mu Xiwan sent someone to find Feng Chengyi, Lin Zhiyuan also sent someone.

And at the same time, Lin Zhiyuan also sent another person to continue to investigate the rumors in the capital, because there is no wind and no waves, Lin Zhiyuan firmly believes that any rumor must have a reason for it.

So sometimes, it's not a bad thing to listen to rumors, and in fact, you can get some information you want to know from rumors.

On this day, Lin Zhiyuan, as usual, checked some intelligence information in the study, and at this time, Lin Zhiyuan's secret guards quietly sneaked into Lin Zhiyuan's study.

I saw that the dark guard knelt down on one knee directly to Lin Zhiyuan, and said to Lin Zhiyuan in a very respectful tone.

"My lord, we follow your orders, we have been in the capital these days to inquire about all kinds of intelligence news, in the last two days we suddenly heard another rumor, rumor that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not missing, but dead!"

"What!"

Lin Zhiyuan shouted in surprise, what kind of person dares to spread rumors like this, and dares to curse the current prince like this, isn't he afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans!

"Since you came to see me today, you must have already investigated where the rumors spread from, let's say, who dares to curse His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this!"

Lin Zhiyuan slapped the table as he spoke, and it could be seen that he was very angry at this moment, after all, with Lin Zhiyuan's loyalty to Feng Chengyi, he would never allow anyone to dare to make such a rumor about Feng Chengyi.

The dark guard had long expected Lin Zhiyuan to ask like this, so he almost didn't think about it, so he said to Lin Zhiyuan.

"My lord, my subordinates have indeed investigated, and the people who spread these news are several old ministers in the court, and now that Murong Ye's army is pressing the border, they don't have the energy to continue to deal with the crown princess in the court, so they thought of this method and wanted to distract the princess!"

The dark guard said all the contents of his investigation, and Lin Zhiyuan didn't expect the truth to be like this.

However, these old ministers are really excessive, they obviously can't fight but cherish the late, but they are secretly spreading rumors like this, these people are simply not worthy of eating the court's money.

But now the rumors have spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, so even if Lin Zhiyuan wants to intercept the rumors now, he has more than enough strength to do so.

In desperation, Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to wave his hand and let the dark guard go down first, and now in this situation, Lin Zhiyuan can only ignore this group of ministers, and finding Feng Chengyi back as soon as possible is the top priority.

But what Lin Zhiyuan didn't expect was that he didn't pay attention to these ministers, and these ministers threw olive branches to him one by one.

As for the reason why Lin Zhiyuan threw out an olive branch, it is very simple, that is, these ministers hope that Lin Zhiyuan can cooperate with them and drive away Mu Xiwan, because these ministers do not want to obey Mu Xiwan's orders.

But you don't have to think about it to know that it is impossible for Lin Zhiyuan to cooperate with these ministers, and these ministers wantonly spread rumors that Feng Chengyi is dead, which has made Lin Zhiyuan very dissatisfied.

So when these ministers came to the door one by one, Lin Zhiyuan was not polite to them at all, and for some relatively low official positions, Lin Zhiyuan directly beat them out.

However, for some relatively high official positions, Lin Zhiyuan is not convenient, so he directly beat them out, after all, their official positions are above Lin Zhiyuan, and Lin Zhiyuan can not easily offend.

Among them is a Master Shangshu, he has come to Lin Zhiyuan several times one after another, although Lin Zhiyuan has rejected each time, but this Lord Shangshu is still very persistent.

And when this Lord Shangshu came to the door for the third time, Lin Zhiyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he decided to completely reject Lord Shangshu this time no matter what.

So after receiving the greeting from this Shangshu lord, Lin Zhiyuan immediately ordered the people in the mansion to prepare.

Lin Zhiyuan arranged for someone to prepare a table of rich and delicious food, and then prepared several jars of fine wine, and then sat at home and waited for the arrival of this Shangshu lord.

After waiting for a while, Lord Shangshu really arrived as promised, and this time Lin Zhiyuan did not bring Lord Shangshu to the main hall to talk, but directly took Lord Shangshu to the place to eat.

Looking at the table full of delicacies and wine, Lord Shangshu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Zhiyuan's gourd, but Lin Zhiyuan was very enthusiastic to invite Lord Shangshu to sit down.

"Since Lord Shangshu is already here, let's sit down, let's talk while eating, how about it!"

Looking at Lin Zhiyuan's polite appearance, Lord Shangshu thought in his heart that Lin Zhiyuan shouldn't dare to do anything greasy, so he did it directly.

In order to show the suitability of the landlord, Lin Zhiyuan directly saluted Lord Shangshu three times, and Lin Zhiyuan's enthusiasm made Lord Shangshu a little overwhelmed.

However, after three rounds of drinking, Lord Shang Shu felt that if he didn't explain his intentions, he would probably get drunk on the table, so Lord Shang Shu opened his mouth to Lin Zhiyuan.

"Lord Lin, it's not the first time I've come to your house, as for the reason why I came, you should know very well in your heart, I came this time just to listen to your words, whether you agree or not!"

Although Lord Shangshu's words were within Lin Zhiyuan's expectations, when Lord Shangshu really said it, Lin Zhiyuan still didn't know how to answer for a while.

But it is impossible to want Lin Zhiyuan to cooperate with Lord Shangshu, and the only person Lin Zhiyuan may follow is Feng Chengyi, so after thinking of this, Lin Zhiyuan said to Lord Shangshu without thinking.

"Since what Lord Shangshu wants to hear is an accurate sentence, then I might as well say it directly, I can't promise you what you said before, so after Lord Shangshu goes back today, please don't come back in the future!"
