"How could my father have sent someone to assassinate him."

After listening to Yue Su's words, Mu Tianjiao said directly. But after finishing speaking, he obviously lacked confidence, after all, his father now feels very embarrassed for his husband's affairs, and what can't be done.

Of course, Yue Su saw her embarrassment, but he just said along the way: "What the county lord said is right, I also think so, how could the Duke of Qianguo send someone to assassinate a small Miao Zhai Tusi." There must be something different in this. Monarch, please see, I have here the evidence of the Fang Zhai, that is, the weapons left behind by the assassins. ”

After speaking, Yue Su opened the burden he had brought, revealing three steel knives.

Mu Tianjiao is a tiger girl, and when she saw the blood-stained weapon, she was not nervous, but said suspiciously: "What is special about these three knives, how can I be sure that they were instructed by my father." ”

Yue Su lifted a steel knife, pointed at Mu Tianjiao, and said: "The knife is engraved with the name of your mansion - Daming Yunnan General Military Mansion, if it has nothing to do with Grandpa Mu, no one will believe it." ”

"Oh? Lord Yue, can you show me the knife? Mu Tianjiao said.

"Nature." Yue Su got up and took a few steps forward and presented the knife to her. Mu Tianjiao took a look, and sure enough, it was engraved with her own signboard.

She didn't panic at this time, but smiled slightly, and said, "Such a little trick to cover up, Lord Yue won't be so gullible." My Mu family is in Yunnan, and I am not so poor that I even bring a weapon with the inscription to assassinate others, and then leave behind the truth, which is unreasonable and reasonable. Master Yue, what do you say? After speaking, her wonderful eyes stared at Yue Su's eyes.

Yue Su said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect this county lord to have such a vision, what I can think of, she can also think of." ”

So he smiled and said: "What the county lord said is right, although Grandpa Mu is said to be a high-ranking official, he will not be arrogant, kill people and leave his name, and he will be truthful, it is very likely that the villain framed him." As soon as he talked about this framing, Xia Guan suddenly thought of another layer, will someone sow discord and frame Fang Zhai from it. ”

"Lord Yue, what do you mean by this?" Mu Tianjiao smiled lightly. She already felt that the real intention of Yue Su's visit today might be in these words. As for the so-called three knives engraved with their own names, it is estimated that this adult has seen through that the other party deliberately framed them, and just took them over and pretended to set off the last key words.

"I heard General You Chuancheng say that the grandfather has ironclad evidence in his hand that Fang Zhai plotted to assassinate him, and this evidence is nothing more than the assassin himself, and after the assassin was tortured, he identified Fang Zhai as the mastermind of the assassination of his grandfather. But according to the humble opinion of the lower officials, this is difficult to protect and also want to cover up, imagine that those who dare to enter the Duke's Mansion to assassinate must be the dead who put life and death out of the way, once they miss, they are bound to commit suicide, and they will never be arrested. How could it be that after being caught, he told the truth, is this a bit fake. It should be the same as deliberately leaving those three knives. Yue Su said flatly.

"Hehehehe......" As soon as Yue Su finished speaking, Mu Tianjiao immediately let out a coquettish smile like a silver bell. Then he said: "Lord Yue, you are excusing your father on the one hand, and Fang Zhai on the other, but what is your real intention in saying this?" You didn't come to me today just to say this, what do you want me to do? ”

Mu Tianjiao is very shrewd, and now she can see that Yue Su has other plans. It's better to open the skylight and say something bright.

"The county lord is really bold, then the lower official will say it directly." Yue Su said with a smile: "The lower official has a reluctant request, I hope that the county lord can repair a letter to Grandpa Mu about the matter here, and ask him to hand over the assassin to the lower official, and the two cases will be tried together." Through these two cases, Xia Guan believes that the person who created this bureau must have an ulterior conspiracy, or it is also inextricably linked with the case of poisoning the county horse. Of course, if Grandpa Mu thought that he had indeed sent someone to assassinate Fang Tusi, then the lower official would have nothing to say. ”

"That's what it was." Mu Tianjiao smiled and said, "Why do you have to make so many detours, enter the door and say that it is, I will repair a letter to my father now, and by the way, I will ask his old man for peace." But whether he is willing to hand over the Assassin to you, I can't guarantee it. ”

After speaking, Mu Tianjiao immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and wrote down what Yue Su said without missing anything, which also said a lot of good things for Yue Su, praising him as a discerning and honest official, hoping that his father could transfer the assassin to him and Yue Su would try it together.

After the letter was written, it was signed with the unique mark of the Mu family, and the confidant was immediately sent to the Duke of Kunming's mansion.

Seeing Mu Tianjiao's help, Yue Su was happy, and after finishing his business, it was inconvenient to stay at the widow's house for a long time, so he immediately said goodbye. Mu Tianjiao didn't keep him, after all, men and women are harmful.

Returning to the prefect's yamen, Yue Su went to the prefect's yamen, explained the affairs in detail here, and expressed his views. Then in the Houya Shengtang, Fang Cai'er, Fang Ji, and Fang Cha were brought to inquire about the situation when Lao Tusi was assassinated. Fang Ji was killed in an ambush and quickly returned to move his troops, and Fang Cha was guarding Fang Qi and was seriously injured in battle. The two told Yue Su the original situation at that time, and Yue Su listened to it and said that he wanted to go to the scene of the crime to take a look.

The place where Fang Qi was ambushed is called Yiwangpo, the road is narrow, there are breakthroughs on both sides, and it is less than two miles away from Fang Zhai. The fact that the Assassins dared to attack in this place was a testament to their boldness, as this place was the best place to loot and kill, and it was not easy for the opponent to escape after being blocked.

Yue Su arrived here, and observed the terrain in front of him for a while, his heart was full of doubts, more than 20 people on the other side were attacking back and forth on such a narrow road, what ability did you Fang Ji have to break through and escape, go and ask for help. Also, cavalry killing, basically a matter of charging, how can you find that your vitality is so tenacious, and you can hold on until reinforcements arrive and not die. It's a fluke.

With questions, Yue Su peeked at the two of them, but did not say much, but went home. Returning to the yamen again, a secret post was added to the back yamen. Now in Yue Su's eyes, Fang Ji and Fang Cha are the biggest suspects. The prison guards are self-stealing, Yue Su was a policeman in his last life, and he understands this truth.

***************************************************

"Grandpa, Guizhou General Zhang has a letter delivered."

In the martial arts training ground of the Qianguo Mansion, Mu Qiyuan's beloved son Mu Tianbo practiced swordsmanship, and the main bookkeeper Mu Yi took the letter and ran over.

"Tianbo, you practice by yourself first." Mu Qiyuan wiped the sweat on his forehead, took the letter and took a look. The content of the letter is naturally that the matter of sending troops to exterminate Fangzhai was disturbed by Yue Su, and now Yue Su has written to inspect the yamen, and it is inconvenient for him to use private soldiers.

After reading the letter, Mu Qiyuan threw the letter to the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "What a Yue Su, he is really bold enough, Ben Jue was assassinated, and he dared to stop him if he wanted to exterminate the traitors." ”

As soon as Mu Yi heard Mu Qiyuan scolding Yue Su, he immediately fanned the flames, "Master, that Yue Su is indeed bold, the last time the villain went to look for him, he didn't give him any face, and he didn't even take you seriously." These civil officials, with a bullshit article, can be in a high position, and they don't know what their surname is. ”

"You go and ask the book office to give me a recital now, how to write it, you should understand." Mu Qiyuan said angrily.

"Understood, the villain will go." Mu Yi replied with a smile. Of course he understands that this is the grandfather who wants to visit Yue Su.

At this moment, Mu Guang, the housekeeper in the house, hurriedly ran over, and shouted loudly as he ran: "Master, the eldest lady has sent a letter." ”

"Oh? Tianjiao sent a letter. A smile appeared on Mu Qiyuan's solemn face, and he hurriedly said, "Show it to me." ”

The official family ran to the front in a few steps and presented the letter to Mu Qiyuan. Mu Qiyuan looked at it, looked at it, and said to Mu Yi: "Let go of the fold first." Someone, bring the assassin. ”

"Yes!" The guards standing on the edge of the training ground immediately agreed, rushed to the prison, and brought the assassin out.

The assassin had been tortured several times, and he had no energy at all, and was completely dragged in. threw it on the martial arts training ground, and lay directly on the ground, unable to even move.

Mu Qiyuan sat down in his chair in the morning, glanced at the assassin, and asked, "Who instructed you to come to assassinate Benjue?" ”

"Villain...... It is a clansman of Fangzhai in Tongren Mansion...... At the behest of Tusi Fang Cai'er...... Come and assassinate ......" the Assassin said weakly.

Mu Qiyuan nodded lightly, and then asked: "Benjue is far away in Kunming, and he has no grudges with your Fangzhai, why do you want to assassinate him?" ”

The assassin seemed to be prepared, and replied: "Our Tusi said that the old Tusi was killed by Grandpa Mu, so he sent me to assassinate him, and promised to marry me as his wife as long as he could stab Grandpa to death, and give me the position of patriarch." ”

Hearing this answer, Mu Qiyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Take him down." ”

The men didn't know why the grandfather laughed, and the guards, of course, didn't dare to ask more, and escorted the assassin back to the prison. Mu Yi and the old housekeeper looked at Mu Qiyuan inexplicably, thinking, it stands to reason that the master should be angry, how can he still be in the mood to laugh?

Mu Qiyuan picked up the letter written by his daughter and said, "You two take a look, even my precious daughter knows about this." What she said in the letter was very right, this was someone who provoked it, and I don't know what the attempt was. Benjue is not afraid of his small Miao Village, but he does not like to be used as a gun and at the mercy of others. Since that Yue Su wants to take care of it, let him leave this matter to him, I also want to see what kind of talents can be praised by my precious daughter in the sky and on the earth. Mu Yi, you go to Tongren again and hand over this assassin to Yue Su. By the way, I'll write another letter, and you will forward it to Tianjiao. ”

*************************************************

After a month and a half, Mu Yi, the chief secretary of the Qianguo Mansion, came to the door again, and with him, hundreds of soldiers escorted a prisoner car, and a man was curled up in the prison car.

Yue Su personally went out to greet him, and Mu Yi became very low-key today, because after he arrived in Tongren, he went to see Mu Tianjiao first. Outside the words, the county lord admired Yue Su, Mu Yi was not stupid, the eldest lady spoke for others, it seems that the kid caught up with his own young lady.

Therefore, when he saw Yue Su again, he was full of smiles, "Governor Yue, I offended a lot last time, please forgive me." This official came this time on the order of the Duke of Qianguo to send the assassin to the palace and hand it over to Lord Yue for trial, and hoped that the Lord would not disappoint the grandfather. ”
