Chapter 496: Trading
Near dawn, An Long and An Hu finally returned, and they brought good news.
"Miss, you guessed right, there is really something wrong with the cotton clothes, and I brought back a few, you see. ”
An Long cut the cotton clothes in front of Shen Man'er, and countless fluffs flew in the air.
"That's what's inside the cotton coat: ears of reeds. Thanks to Mu Yingqiu, she can think that this reed ear is not easy to form a clump, and it is fluffy, at first glance, it really looks a little like cotton when worn on the body. ”
Shen Man'er pinched the reed spike in her hand, soft and slippery.
"This Mu Yingqiu is also a wonderful person. ”
After all, Yingying has dealt with the three major cities a lot, and knows that this Mu Yingqiu is not easy to deal with, just these few cotton clothes can't hurt him at all, and now that there is no witness, Mu Yingqiu will definitely bite back.
"Man'er, although the secret of this cotton coat has been discovered, it is still impossible to deal with Mu Yingqiu, and now the people in the entire Mo Feng City are forced by Mu Yingqiu's obscenity, and no one dares to testify.
With just these cotton clothes in our hands, we can't hurt him at all, and not only that, but we may also be framed by him. ”
Call...
Shen Man'er blew out the reed spikes in her hand in one breath, and watched the flying flakes slowly fall in front of her.
She also knew that relying only on these few cotton clothes would not help at all, but it was not so easy to catch Mu Yingqiu's handle.
"It's not difficult to deal with Mu Yingqiu. ”
Shen Man'er was worried about what to do next, and Qianji's voice suddenly sounded again.
"What do you say? ”
"If you want to deal with Mu Yingqiu, we don't have to do it ourselves, someone wants to see Mu Yingqiu fall more than us.
The current head of the Mu family is Mu Yingqiu's father, he sat in that position back then, but he used a lot of dishonorable means, of course, Shangguan Zhe's handwriting is also indispensable.
If Shangguan Zhe hadn't intervened, the head of the Mu family would definitely not be Mu Hai, but his eldest brother Mu Tian.
If we want to find evidence that Mu Yingqiu was corrupt and perverted the law, embezzled land and property, harmed the people, and opened gold mines privately, we can go to this Mu Tian. ”
Shen Man'er listened to Qianji's words and thought for a while, is this to use the Mu family to deal with the Mu family?
"But will this Mu Tian help us?"
Listening to Shen Man'er's doubts, Qianji smiled mysteriously.
"It's man-made. ”
The weather outside was dark and dreary, and the snowflakes kept falling, turning into icicles on the trees as soon as they fell.
Shen Man'er stood in front of the window, looking at the busy figure at the yamen not far away.
"This Mu Yingqiu is really scheming, Man'er, you see, this is the cotton clothes I got just now, and they are all brand new cotton. ”
Shen Man'er picked up the cotton clothes brought by Yingying and took a look, the fabric was just ordinary cotton cloth, but a thick layer of cotton was stuffed inside, which was very warm on the body.
"Thank you, Lord Mu, what a good official. ”
"Lord Mu, love the people like sons, we really can't do without Lord Mu. ”
Praise kept coming from outside the window, and Shen Man'er and the others felt more and more harsh when they listened to those words.
"Yingying, I want to meet that Mu Tian. ”
"Got it, I'll arrange it. ”
In a slightly dilapidated courtyard of the Mu family
Mu Tian was sitting in the study, dealing with the things arranged above, although the Mu family was now Mu Hai's master, Mu Hai handed over most of the things to Mu Tian to do.
"Master, you can rest for a while, it's snowing outside again, don't get cold. ”
A woman brought a bowl of hot soup to Mu Tian, and after putting down the hot soup, she carefully covered Mu Tian with a cloak.
It's just that the cloak looks like it's been washed and turned off its color for some years.
"It's not in the way, there are a lot of affairs, as long as you take a break, you can't finish watching it today. ”
The woman looked at the pile of papers on the table and frowned slightly.
Their master has been forced to live in this small courtyard, but Mu Hai still doesn't let him go, the master has to feed the horses during the day, and he has to do things for Mu Hai in his spare time.
Syllable...
The two were talking, when they saw a dart piercing directly into the paper in front of Mu Tian's eyes, and dozens of pieces of paper were actually pierced by the dart.
"Sir..."
The woman held Mu Tian's shoulders tightly, now that they have no power in the Mu family, is there anyone who wants to harm them?
"Don't move. ”
Mu Tian looked at the shining silver dart in front of him, with a note tied to it, and Mu Tian pulled the dart up after making sure that the dart was not poisonous.
"The position of the head of the family, the son of today. ”
After Mu Tian finished reading the contents of the note, his face did not change at all, but the woman beside him became shocked when she saw the words on the note.
"Husband, this can't be another trick that Mu Hai came up with, wanting to persecute you, now we have nothing, we still have to look at his face to live, what else does he want. ”
Mu Tian hurriedly covered his wife's mouth, no matter who threw the dart, this person must still be nearby.
In case the lady said something that should not be said, and it reached Mu Hai's ears, the idle days they had so hard won would be gone.
"Madame, don't be public, let's discuss this matter in the evening. ”
The woman also nodded, it was daytime, maybe Mu Hai's eyes were staring at them somewhere.
At night, Mu Tian couldn't sleep, thinking of the note he saw during the day, he lay on the bed tossing and turning.
Seeing that the time was coming, Mu Tian didn't know what was going to happen next, whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
"Master, are you waiting any longer, I don't think you have the right to see it, if this is another trick of Mu Hai, I'm afraid that we will not even have the only place to stay in the Mu family. ”
"Sleep, I'll go sit outside for a while, and don't come out until I hear anything." ”
Mu Tian put on his coat, walked out of the bedroom, sat on a chair in the hall, looked at the door, and waited for the arrival of Zishi.
After Mu Tian left, the lady in the house couldn't help but cry.
When he was a child, Shen Man'er and the others suddenly appeared in front of Mu Tian like ghosts.
Mu Tian opened his eyes, and he was not afraid of these people who suddenly appeared.
"You're here. ”
"Master Mu really lives up to his reputation and is not afraid of danger, aren't you afraid that we are here to kill you?"
Mu Tian listened to the slightly childish words in front of him.
"Mu Tian's life is not valuable, if you want it, take it.
It's just that this life under the order made Lord Qincha dirty his hands, and for adults, it was too much to lose. ”
Shen Man'er took off the cloak on her head.
"You know me?"
"No, I don't know the adults in the Xia, and I just guessed in the Xia, in broad daylight, dare to use darts to send a message, and the son can appear in the Mu Mansion on time, I'm afraid that the only one who is wearing the boiling Qincha is now. ”
