Back in the room, as soon as Mu Tong entered the door, he saw an extra figure in the dark room.

But he was not surprised, just because there was only such a child in the entire Gongyuan, who else could there be besides Mo Qing.

"Why don't you hold the lamp?"

"If you don't come back, won't I tell others that I'm coming to you?"

"Are you stupid, you are my scholar, what is wrong with you always looking for me?"

"That's right. Looks like I've been really stupid lately. ”

Mo Qing, who suddenly realized, hurriedly took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp on the table.

What caught my eye was Mu Tong's thoughtful face.

"What is the young master thinking?"

"It's a bit of a bonus, and I wanted you to look into it. ”

"Oh, this young master went out to turn around and there was an unexpected gain? My little Qingzi gathered in that group of servants and there was no useful information. ”

Seeing Mo Qing's unconvinced look, Mu Tong sat down funny, handed him the cup, and said, "Pour tea." ”

Seeing Mo Qing speechlessly pouring him tea, Mu Tong said his guess.

"There's something wrong with this colt of ours. ”

Mo Qing's hand pouring tea shook and almost spilled.

He put down the teapot in surprise, looked at Mu Tong, and said with a look of disbelief: "Young master, are you not mistaken? That old man is famous for his kindness, which is simply Buddha nature." If it weren't for seeing him indulge in gambling these days, I would almost have thought he was a saint. ”

"Hehe, that's why I said there was a problem with this one. ”

Mu Tong didn't care about Mo Qing's surprise, snatched the teapot in his hand and took a sip of tea directly from the teapot, only then did he rudely wipe the water stains on his mouth, and then explained.

"Think about it, this old man has been under the cover of the third princess all his life, giving people the impression of being submissive and kind. But he himself is a top talent, a champion who has passed the test among tens of thousands of students and stood out, don't you think he is too poor in this life? If he is a nest all his life, I don't think he has a problem. ”

Mu Tong paused, revealing a mysterious look, and whispered to Mo Qing.

"But think about it. We only revealed the day before that Lu Gui had stolen the secrets of the scientific examination, and then indirectly disclosed that someone in the royal capital had colluded with the Shengwu Kingdom to commit treason, but he was temporarily sent as the deputy invigilator the next day, and the originally scheduled examiner was replaced by him. I thought this was His Majesty's intention, but when I tried it, I found that it was not like that. ”

Mo Qing was interested and hurriedly asked. "What did the young master find?"

"Hmph, Young Master Ben, I found out that he didn't come here with Mo Wenxuan's instructions at all. It's that he didn't know how to convince Mo Wenxuan to send him here, he came here for another purpose. He gambled only to find a candidate for the purpose of execution. ”

"Ahh ”

"Whether there is a conspiracy or not, it depends on your little Qingzi. ”

"Me?"

"Yes, you've got my eye on the old fellow. I'm going to see what he's trying to do. I don't care if he has two hearts, but he can't pull my Mu family into the water. The place where this young master is in charge can't tolerate others being wild. ”

"Okay, Xiao Qingzi promises to complete the task! I'll spy on him. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a stimulating character execution, Mo Qing, who had been bored for a month, came to his senses.

"Remember to wear more clothes, Revlon at night, don't catch a cold. ”

Seeing Mo Qing running out recklessly, Mu Tong had no choice but to get up and chase to the door to explain.

"Alas, it seems that Young Master Ben has been acting for a long time before. I forgot the age of the people around me. This little Qingzi is still a child after all. Didn't I squeeze him too much?"

Not to mention the intrigue of sesame mung beans in the Gongyuan.

But it is said that above the court, every official is in danger in a month.

The six Shangshu went out together, and more than 30 officials from various departments were arrested and imprisoned in a month, and this is just a small head, they are all inconsequential downlines, just waiting to be interrogated, ready to find out the big fish behind.

However, even with such a few clues, the six Shangshu still found out where the other party was going to do it first, so the six of them entered the palace overnight and met the saint.

After Mo Wenxuan listened to the report of the six Shangshu, he summoned the old prime minister and the old sect patriarch who had been idle for a long time overnight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows about the matter, and I don't know if there is a countermeasure. ”

Mo Wenxuan sat in the imperial study with a frown, looked at the ministers sitting upright below, and asked for countermeasures.

He could never have imagined that there were so many people who colluded with foreign enemies, almost all over the official department.

And to be able to arrange so many officials to enter these departments, the background of the people behind them is by no means simple. Maybe it has something to do with his sons.

After all, those sons have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and they have controlled almost all the officials of the departments below, and even several of the six Shangshu belong to the prince's faction, and only the military department and the household department are neutral.

It's not that the two Shangshu don't want to take refuge in the prince, it's just that these two departments are too important, who dares to be biased, the other princes will definitely attack them without leaving any means, not to mention Mo Wenxuan, who is sitting on the throne, will not agree to their participation in the seizure of the heir.

"Your Majesty, now that the situation is now, we can only wait and see how it changes. ”

The official secretary had no choice but to come out first. Whoever makes the officials is under the control of his ministers. If another group is arrested, he will not be able to find anyone to fill the gap.

"No, since we know what the other party is going to target, we should guard against it and not give the other party a chance to attack. ”

In the end, the military department Shangshu fought a war, and what he thought of first was stability, and he sought victory in stability.

"I don't agree. "The criminal department Shangshu stood up.

This iron-faced selfless, in charge of the criminal department, is used to being ruthless to others, and is also ruthless to himself.

"Your Majesty, since we know the enemy's goal, we should set up an ambush, lure you into the urn, and wipe it all out to prevent future troubles. ”

"This ......"

Mo Wenxuan hesitated. The proposal of the criminal department Shangshu was the most to his liking.

But he has been pampered for many years, and although he is still ruthless now, he is not as resolute as he was back then.

He didn't want to do it, after all, it was not in his interest to have no way back.

It is in the interests of a strong man to break his wrist, but he is afraid of pain.

If the loss is too great, he can't bear it.

In the end, he still looked at the silent Prime Minister Wei Yan and the old emperor's uncle Mo Feiyang.

"Can the prime minister and the imperial uncle have a decision?"

Wei Yan glanced at the old imperial uncle, who was still indifferent, and could only stand up first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the law of the Criminal Department is feasible. But it needs to be added. You can choose the problematic chess pieces as the target of the opponent, they don't know each other anyway, and then we set up an ambush, kill a group and release a group, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Killing two birds with one stone is the best policy. ”

In the end, it was the prime minister, this method made Mo Wenxuan very satisfied, and he looked at the old imperial uncle again, and motioned for the old imperial uncle to express his opinion.

Sensing His Majesty's gaze, the old emperor's uncle Mo Feiyang opened his eyes, and his fierce gaze pierced the hearts of the ministers.

"Hmph! On the day of the imperial examination, the city was directly closed, a large army was transferred into the city, and the house-to-house investigation was carried out. If there is a suspect, kill those who have no clear position, kill those who are not clear, kill those who are not clear, kill those who are sneaky, kill and kill!"

Eight consecutive kills directly made the ministers tremble, and even Mo Wenxuan was frightened by the murderous aura of this old imperial uncle.

He forgot that this old imperial uncle was a Jin Ge Iron Horse for half his life, and he was a real main battle faction. Even if he is at home now, he is the only saint-level martial artist in the Mohai Imperial Family.

Where would care about these intrigues.

"Uncle Huang, you are too involved, and the king will be in chaos. ”

"Hmph! After this king saw that you were young in appearance, his courage became smaller. My royal family is still afraid that they will kill people, and whoever kills them will kill them until they are subdued. ”

“......”

Mo Wenxuan was speechless.

On the contrary, Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he thoughtfully proposed to Mo Wenxuan.

"Your Majesty, the method that Uncle Huang said is not impossible, maybe there will be an unexpected gain!"
