nbsp; "The Pei family has been in business for generations, and their family background is unimaginably strong, and they are royal merchants, just talking about how profitable the transportation industry is, almost all of them are in their hands, not to mention that his family is also involved in the salt industry, ceramics and weaving and dyeing industry, and more than half of the annual tax revenue of Xizhao is from the Pei family's industry. However, because of this, in recent years, the Pei Xiu family has been feared by the emperor. ”

Hearing this, Mu Yan followed Mu Yunmo's words and continued: "Yes, even if he is just a businessman, if he becomes too big and even controls Xizhao's economic lifeline, it is indeed a threat to the emperor, and Pei Xiu's family must have private friendships with many courtiers and nobles in Xizhao." ”

"So this time, the Pei Xiu family was convicted of smuggling contraband weapons on the surface, but in fact, the emperor has already had the intention to get rid of them, and if all the property of the Pei Xiu family can be confiscated and filled with the treasury, it will be an extremely beneficial thing for the Xizhao royal family, even if it is the king, they have to be tempted by their family's property, you must know that that a large amount of property can reduce a lot of financial pressure for the expansion and development of the Xizhao army." Thinking of this, a shrewd light flowed from Mu Yunmo's eyes, "The emperor's heart is really unfathomable. ”

"So, what role did that Wei Chixin play in the whole incident? Why has it been rumored that he has been out of the city on a mission, and Xuan Yue's wedding night appeared in the wedding room again. ”

"I heard Xuan Shao say that Wei Chixin was framed and killed by Pei Xiu and imprisoned, and the emperor didn't know what to find and gave Yu Chixin poisonous wine in prison, but it was just a scene made by the emperor, and the wine was just a drug, the purpose was to let Pei Xiu relax and expose the crime on the wedding night. It's just ......" Mu Yunmo paused, a trace of coldness flashed on his face, "The amount of the drug could have been controlled, and if you want to hide people's eyes, you only need to let Wei Chixin be in a coma for an hour or two, but Wei Chixin was in a coma until the next evening before waking up, thinking that the medicine was deliberately put several times more." ”

Hearing this, Mu Yan's eyes flashed once: "In this way, the emperor deliberately asked Wei Chixin to rush to Pei's house at night to save people, so as not to wake up too early, knowing that Pei Xiu Dao would rush to rescue Xuan Yue desperately, startling the snake and destroying the emperor's entire plan, and if he didn't let the woke up Wei Chixin go to save people, I am afraid that Wei Chixin would definitely have some resentment in his confidence, and his loyalty to the royal family in the future would be greatly reduced, so he simply asked Wei Chixin to wake up later." ”

Mu Yunmo saw that Mu Yan had already understood what he was thinking, and nodded, "Even if he is a courtier who is highly used, he is not as important as the interests of the country in the emperor's heart, and the emperor will definitely not ruin his plan because of Wei Chixin and Xuan Yue, so he deliberately let Yu Chixin wake up in the evening." In this way, he not only succeeded in finding evidence of Pei Xiu's smuggling, but also retained the image of the emperor's benevolence and wisdom in Wei Chi's confidence, making him more loyal to the royal family. ”

"A companion is like a tiger." Mu Yan shook his head slightly, but from this he thought of the situation in Mufu now, "Now that Chiqiong, Qi Ling is in power, he must still be very jealous of his once biggest rival Mu Yuan's family, he is not stupid, although he took away the army in your hands, he must still be investigating the family's dark power, we must be more careful, so as not to be caught off guard by him when we are killed." ”

"Well, don't expose anything unless necessary." (To be continued.) )
