In the western suburbs of the capital, there are many farmhouse houses, and occasionally a tall house can be seen standing on the bare land. These are all built by those rich people who are not qualified to enter the capital, but want to get clean.

It is only three miles to the west, and there is a house here, which covers an area that is three points larger than some princes in the inner city of the capital, and is luxuriously decorated and surrounded by green trees.

Not to mention anything else, the two stone lions with fangs and claws at the door of this house are three points more powerful than the stone lions in the Dingbian Hou Mansion.

After entering the house is a large courtyard, the yard is about ten zhang square, the east side is full of plum blossoms, except for a road that can lead to the main house, the rest of the courtyard is planted with flowers and plants.

As soon as you enter the house, you will have a strange fragrance, and many of the flowers and plants are precious varieties, and ordinary people can't afford to grow them at all.

After Mu Bin followed the middle-aged man with small eyes into the house, he walked straight inside, and after four or five corridors of the water pavilion, the middle-aged man stopped outside a small courtyard.

"Master Mu waits, and the little one will go in first to report." The middle-aged man bowed slightly to Mu Bin, and walked a few steps backwards before turning around and opening the courtyard door.

It didn't take long for him to come out: "My lord, my lord has an invite." ”

Mu Bin followed the middle-aged man into the small courtyard without saying a word, and when he walked to the door of the room, he took off his boots at the signal of the middle-aged man, and wore a pair of clean cloth shoes before walking into the open door.

The furnishings of the room were simple and simple, except for a table and a bed, two chairs, a bookcase, and a very unfashionable screen. The table and bed are made of ordinary cedar, but the bookcase is made of fine rosewood. The bookcase was full of books, and the covers of many of them were damaged, which shows that the owner of the house usually likes to flip through them.

There was a pot of tea on the table, and it was still steaming, and there was an old man who had lost a lot of hair sitting on the main seat, with no beard under his chin and high raised cheekbones, and he was playing with two walnuts in an orderly manner at the moment.

"Come, sit!" The old man raised his eyelids and looked at Mu Bin, and said softly.

Mu Bin looked at the old man in front of him, his horror was incomprehensible, and at the same time, doubts began to appear in his heart.

Could it be that this old man is the person Liu Ji would rather die than protect? Could it be that this person is the person who the boss has been looking for for a long time and has not been found?

But if it's really this person, why did he come out on his own?

Was it a counterattack before death, or was there something else hidden?

The old man didn't look at Mu Bin, and said lightly: "Don't hide behind the screen, it's all your own people, it's good to meet now." ”

Mu Bin cursed in his heart: Lao Tzu wants to be his own person with you, so he must not be skinned by Hou Ye.

After the people behind the screen came out, Mu Bin was even more shocked in his heart! If this person is also a person under the command of the old man in front of him, then Zhang Ru is really a little dangerous.

The person behind the screen smiled and said, "Mu Shuai couldn't have imagined that the person behind this was a miscellaneous family!" ”

Mu Bin took a deep breath: "There are some surprises, but not very unexpected. You will betray Lord Hou, that's a matter of course. When the first emperor was there, you called for wind and rain, and it was the Hou Ye who personally knocked you into the dust, and now you are taking advantage of the situation to make a comeback, and it is reasonable to seek revenge from the Hou Ye. ”

The person who shocked Mu Bin beyond comprehension was none other than Wang Zhi, who was quite trusted by Zhu Youzhang's side.

Wang Zhi pointed at the old man and said: "Master Wan and I have been persecuted by Zhang Wenxuan, if it weren't for him suddenly coming out to make trouble, maybe we wouldn't be down to this point."

If there is cause and effect, there will be retribution, which Zhang Wenxuan should be able to think of. ”

Mu Bin said sarcastically: "Lord Yuan is right, sure enough, the most unbelievable thing is the eunuch." This person who doesn't get anything under the crotch of his pants has never had a bottom line to do things. ”

Wang Zhi was furious: "The miscellaneous family can afford you to call you a Mu Shuai, do you really think that you are amazing!" If it weren't for the fact that Master Wan said that you were a rare talent, the miscellaneous family would not agree to Master Wan's plan. ”

The old man sitting on the Taishi chair is named Wan An, who was once the head of the cabinet of the Chenghua Dynasty, and he is also a figure who calls for wind and rain.

This Long Live Pavilion elder, like Liu Mian, is an old man of the Chenghua Dynasty, the only difference is that after Zhang Ru took advantage of the situation, one of them hid in the market, and no one knew; The other clinged to Zhang Ru and groveled.

No one could have imagined that this old man hidden in the market would be the initiator of everything, and these things were actually made by him.

If it weren't for Zhang Ru's plot with the emperor, maybe Zhang Ru would have been killed.

Wan An smiled: "You two are the right-hand men of the saint today, don't fight in the same room." Our common enemy should be Zhang Wenxuan, who has no one in his eyes, not each other. ”

Mu Bin said coldly: "Why does Lord Wan think that this handsome man will obey your arrangement?" ”

Wan An said lightly: "Since the old man dares to call you over, he is naturally certain to a certain extent, if he is not sure, why did the old man call you over?" The world is bustling, for the sake of profit, there are those who abolish private for public purposes, those who harm public fat and private interests, and those who use power for personal gain, but there are few selfless people.

Why?

It's all because people are greedy!

The longevity of life is not as short as a jiazi, but it is not as long as it is rare in ancient times, and there are very few people who live in old age.

There were thousands of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, each of whom only cared about selfish interests and did not value public interests, although the old man had left the court, he could not help but make irresponsible remarks.

It's just that the saint is deceived by traitors, thinking that he can reach the realm of great harmony in the world, and those who are ministers can neither risk death to admonish, nor find a good solution.

Mu Shuai's family is not much, and it is not a prosperous family, but the children are very filial, the good wife is the housekeeper, and the old mother enjoys her old age.

The old man thought that Mu Shuai was a filial person, and he should not do anything that he would regret for life.

You say, isn't it? ”

Listening to Wan An's understatement, Mu Bin's steel teeth were about to be crushed.

This old puppet actually used his family to blackmail himself, he can be sure that Wan An must have thought of a way to deal with his family, otherwise this old puppet would never say it in front of himself.

He turned his hateful gaze to Wang Zhi, who was watching the excitement on the side.

If you want to control his family in the capital unconsciously, except for Zhu Laoguogong, who controls the twelve regiments and battalions, only this eunuch has this ability.

Wang Zhi not only controlled tens of thousands of Dongchang, but also controlled thousands of elites of the Imperial Horse Prison.

Wang Zhi smiled maliciously: "Mu Shuai, don't look at the miscellaneous family like this, the miscellaneous family will be afraid." I heard that Mu Shuai is very busy every day, and as a brother organization of Jinyiwei, the miscellaneous family naturally has to send someone to take care of Mu Shuai's family. ”
