Therefore, the news that Lin Mujue escaped from the prison and captured the current assassin Shi still spread all over the capital, and now the streets and alleys are talking about this matter, for a while, the voices of insulting Lin Mujue and the government are endless, and many people run to the gate of the Yushitai to question.

"What happened to Lingguo now? A big country, not to mention that Lin Mu, who had bad deeds and colluded with mountain bandits, had been the Marquis of Ninghou Mansion for so many years, and he was even allowed to escape from prison at the moment, didn't he say that he would definitely be unable to escape after being imprisoned in the prison? And there are many felons who are imprisoned here, and if everyone escapes in the future, what will happen to our safety? ”

A group of ordinary people blocked the door of the Imperial Historical Tower, questioning the inaction of the imperial court one by one. This incident really caused so much public anger that it spread to the palace, and the emperor was furious, and immediately sent Mu Chenyu, who was in charge of this case, into the palace.

In the Chengying Palace, Mu Chenyu stood in the empty hall, only to see that on the dragon chair with golden carving dragon patterns not far from him, there was a middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe with a majestic face, his elite eyes stared at Mu Chenyu quietly, and only after a while did he slowly say, "Mo Chen, I sent you to investigate the matter of the official salt before, and you lived up to your expectations, and found out a lot of pickled things in the capital, I am very pleased." ”

"This is a matter for the ministers." Mu Chenyu arched his hand, and his tone was calm.

The emperor looked at the person in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant, and showed a satisfied smile on his face, "I don't know why, I feel very close to you." ”

Mu Chenyu was in a long figure, standing alone in the audience at this time, but there was no disobedience, and he was not flattered when he heard this, but smiled indifferently, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love." ”

"Recently, I have heard about the affairs of the capital, but I didn't expect this forest curtain to be so simple, if there is no help from the people in the palace behind me, I will never believe it." The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, his expression was obscure, as if he was thinking about something, Mu Chenyu didn't bother when he saw this, after all, the king's heart was unpredictable.

After half a ring, the person on the dragon chair sighed, "Alas, this palace is not very peaceful now, Mochen, I hope you can arrest Lin Mujie within half a month, and most importantly, find out the people behind him, otherwise I will not be at ease." ”

Although the emperor said the word hope, Mu Chenyu understood that this was clearly setting a deadline, if the case was not closed by then, I am afraid that he would be blamed for not doing things well, and he should pay the price for Lin Mujue, and he could only agree to accompany the king like a tiger.

"The minister will definitely close this case as soon as possible and solve problems for the emperor."

Seeing that his face was steady, the emperor became more and more satisfied, and then ordered his most powerful father-in-law to send him out of the palace.

After returning to the yamen, he had just walked into the courtyard when Shangguan Juan came out of the room, his face looking very haggard. Yesterday's incident made her worry all night, and today the palace came to spread the word, she was also at the scene, when she left, her expression was not good-looking, it seems that today's entry into the palace still scared her.

Thinking of this, Mu Chenyu's mood was also inexplicably better, the expression between his eyebrows softened, and he said softly, "Your face is very ugly, rest more today, don't worry too much, I'm here." ”

"What did the emperor say when he entered the palace today?" She asked in a hoarse voice, frowning. Let's read books

Mu Chenyu didn't want to hide it from her, and also wanted her to feel at ease, so she said, "Your Majesty ordered me to close this case within half a month, and sent many parties to help, I think I will be able to arrest Lin Mujue soon, you don't have to worry." ”

"Within half a month? Half Moon may be my father's bones are cold, in this case, I also ask to solve the case together. ”

Mu Chenyu frowned at the moment, and immediately vetoed, "No, now it seems that the power behind Lin Mu Jue is not small, and there are many killers around him, if you get involved, it will be very dangerous, you just need to stay in the yamen, and I will handle this matter." ”

Shangguan Juan's heart has been surging with all kinds of negative emotions in the past few days, and he was even more excited when he heard this, "My father's life and death are uncertain, how can I sit still, since you don't let me participate, I'll figure it out myself." With that, she pushed it away with one palm, pushed Mu Chenyu away, and ran out.

Mu Chenyu was helpless in her heart, thinking that she might be in an unhappy mood and wanted to go out to vent, so she had to catch up, seeing that her mood was very unstable, she had to follow her not far away, so as not to have any accidents. What he didn't expect was that Shangguan Juan went straight to the big drum outside the palace gate that was specially used to sound grievances, and knocked on it without thinking about it.

Mu Chenyu didn't have time to stop her at all, the drum outside the palace gate should not be beaten at will, if it was beaten, it would be taken directly by the guards guarding the drum to meet the saint, if you don't have much grievance, you will beat the drum indiscriminately, and you will inevitably be guilty of a capital crime.

When the palace people brought her into the palace, Mu Chenyu was very angry, but at this time, the drum had already been beaten, and it was useless for him to be angry again, so he could only follow them into the palace together.

After the emperor sent Mu Chenyu away, he temporarily sent the ministers to the Chengying Palace to discuss the case of Lin Mujue's escape from prison, and when he heard that Shangguan was beating the drum, he directly asked the palace people to bring her into the palace, but he didn't expect Mu Chenyu to come with him, but he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

After a salute, the emperor put on an obscure and inexplicable smile, "Are you the daughter of Yue Thorn Shi?" Let me guess, you should be talking about your father today. Mu Chenyu heard the coolness in the emperor's tone, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, and even though he wanted to speak, Shangguan Juan was the first to speak.

"Back to Your Majesty, the people's daughter is the daughter of Yue Tingshi, Shangguan Juan, and it is indeed for my father's business that I came today, and I implore Your Majesty to let the people's daughter participate in this case and investigate it together." As soon as Shangguan Juan's words came out, the emperor was a little surprised, and he thought that she didn't know that she was beating the drum to accuse the government of not handling the case effectively, but he didn't expect to say that she wanted to participate, which was a little interesting.

When the emperor heard this, he just raised his eyebrows interestingly and didn't speak, but those ministers couldn't help it, and immediately objected, "You are just a woman in the boudoir, although your father is a assassin, it doesn't mean that you can participate in this matter." ”

"Yes, this is too unbelievable, and this is a play house."

The voices of opposition sounded one after another in the court, and the emperor's face did not change when he heard this, and he chuckled at Shangguan Juan, "Did you hear the words of the ministers?" Although I understand your worries about your father, it is impossible for you, an ordinary woman, to participate in the imperial court's case. ”

Shangguan Juan's expression was not depressed when he heard this, he couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I think you have also heard the folk book about the history of assassination before, that is written by the folk girl, and now that my father's life and death are unknown, I also implore Your Majesty to grant my request, and I hereby swear that if I can't catch Lin Mujie in half a month, I will ask for the death penalty." ”
