Chapter 524: The Heavenly God Dreams
This is a serious crime to buy and sell weapons, and if you pursue it, the responsibility will be great.
Baili Yunzheng looked at Mu Ran's cold appearance, and it didn't look like he was lying, and his face became solemn.
"In other words, the people in the embassy are now secretly buying and selling weapons, and in order to prevent you from revealing the matter, they are going to kill people and kill people?" Baili Yunzheng looked at Mougin, and he couldn't understand Mougin's approach.
After all, the enemy is in the dark, and when this happens, he can only save his life first.
Mougins nodded, "Yes, but I didn't expect this matter to involve you." ”
When he met Baili Yunzheng and his party that day, it was indeed because of his hospitality that he wanted to keep them, but he didn't expect that after sending them away, he would be killed.
It can only be said that Baili Yunzheng and his party were unlucky.
"In that case, why don't you inform the emperor about this?" Baili Yunzheng asked strangely, if he told the emperor and thoroughly investigated, Mu Ran would not have to hide like this, let alone involve them.
"It's as simple as you think." Mu Ran sighed lightly, "Although I have made some discoveries, they are also very cautious, and they quickly moved the place, and the evidence I have now is insufficient, and there is no way to report it to the emperor." ”
He looked at Baili Yunzheng helplessly, "Moreover, the matter is big and there are many implications, at this time, the emperor may not necessarily help me." ”
When Baili Yunzheng heard this, he fell silent.
Mougins is right, selling weapons is not a trivial matter, and with the involvement of important ministers in the court, things become tricky.
Mu Ran looked up at Baili Yunzheng and sighed: "Anyway, in the end, I still have a burden on you, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save your family." ”
"Okay, if you say that, then I'll be relieved." Baili Yunzheng nodded. Anyway, at least, their family can be safe, and that's good.
After Baili Yunzheng dealt with his injuries, he followed Mu Ran out of the medical hall, Mu Ran looked back at Baili Yunzheng's slightly pale lips, and couldn't help but admire: "I respect you as a man, you are so seriously injured, you can still stand like this." ”
In fact, this injury is nothing to Baili Yunzheng, who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and when he heard Mu Ran say this, he just smiled and said, "Master Hou has a lot of awards." ”
His indifferent face made Mu Ran look at it, and he couldn't help but have a bright color, "Your identity should be more than just a grass farmer in Jiangbei." ”
The temperament and physique displayed by Baili Yunzheng are not comparable to a mere ordinary person at all.
"Yes and what, no, now, I just want to spend the rest of my life with my wife and children in peace." Baili Yunzheng has always thought so in his heart, but the world is unpredictable, no matter how unwilling he is and how he escapes, he can't escape fate.
Hearing this, Mu Ran nodded, didn't say anything, and directly took Baili Yunzheng to the front of a more luxurious mansion, only to see Mu Ran knock on the door, and after saying a few words to the family who opened the door, the family welcomed them in very politely.
Before Baili Yunzheng entered the door, he clearly saw the plaque of this mansion with the two big characters "Liu Mansion" written on it.
After taking a seat, the tea cup was served, and Baili Yunzheng asked, "Where is this?" ”
Mougins said: "This is my close friend Academician Liu's mansion, I think he should be able to help us." ”
Baili Yun Zheng was surprised, nodded, and just picked up the tea cup in his hand at this time, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and then a middle-aged man walked in, and when he saw Mu Ran, his face was a little surprised.
"Master Hou, ...... you" The man looked Mougins up and down carefully, "Are you okay?" ”
When the news of Mougin's murder came out before, he didn't believe it at first, and his heart was hanging, but now it seems that it is really a lie.
Mu Ran stepped forward and shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Academician Liu, I've frightened you." ”
That man is Academician Liu, an academician of the Hanlin Academy of Nanyan Kingdom, who is upright and has a good relationship with Mougin, although he is not a big official, his official character is obvious to everyone.
Seeing that Mu Ran was fine, Academician Liu breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It's okay if it's okay, the news of your murder is spread all over the city, and Xia Guan didn't believe it, but now it seems that he really thinks well." ”
After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that they have discovered something?" ”
Mu Ran nodded, met Academician Liu's gaze, and said, "Yes, that night, they came to the door. After that, he pointed to Baili Yunzheng sitting next to him, and said, "I'm really sorry, this matter directly affected the Baili brothers' family of four, so this time I came to ask Academician Liu for help." ”
Academician Liu seemed to have just discovered the existence of Baili Yunzheng, turned his head, looked at Baili Yunzheng and saluted, he was considered to have seen it, and nodded: "Hou Ye's matter, Xia Guan will naturally try his best to help, but this matter is very involved, Xia Guan is afraid of ......."
His worries are not unreasonable.
Mu Ran's face also became solemn, if he wanted to rescue Baili Yunzheng and his party, he had to find a way to bring down the people in the embassy, but there were so many important ministers of the court involved behind this matter, it was not something that could be solved in one sentence at all.
Baili Yunzheng thought about it, and said: "We can have no evidence, maybe, this hot potato can be directly thrown to the emperor to check it himself." ”
Hearing this, Mu Ran and Academician Liu both turned their heads and looked at Baili Yunzheng in confusion, "......What do you mean?"
Baili Yunzheng hooked his lips slightly and smiled evilly.
The next morning, Academician Liu went to the court like this, above the court, he held a jade-white ivory wat in his hand, stood among the other courtiers, deliberately pretending to be drowsy, and fell crookedly, finally, when the emperor was discussing government affairs with others, he suddenly fell unstable and fell down directly.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall.
The man wearing the crown on the top looked angrily at the fallen man below, and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Academician Liu seemed to be a little unconscious, and glanced at the emperor strangely, only then did he come back to his senses and prostrate on the ground, "Weichen has misbehaved, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
"You also know that you have misbehaved, I see, you didn't sleep well last night, and I don't embarrass you, so you can go back and sleep for a month and come back." The emperor snorted lightly, and these words were clearly punishing Academician Liu in disguise.
If you don't go to court for a month, you don't have to participate in this court.
Originally, his official position was not high, and such punishment was equivalent to taking off half of his black gauze hat.
Academician Liu trembled, raised his head, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" The minister was only dreamed by the gods last night, thinking about the Jiangshan Sheji, just a god, feeling that a thunder hit the minister, the minister was out of shape, and asked the emperor to see! ”
After saying this, the ministers in the palace couldn't help but look overhead.
The main hall is resplendent in gold, whether it is gold leaf decoration or dragon painting, it is particularly dazzling, as usual, where does the thunder come from? It is clearly a fallacy to confuse the public.
No, the emperor was so angry that he raised his beard, "You are talking nonsense, I am the chosen son, what kind of thunder, dare to make a mistake in my Jinluan Palace!" ”
When everyone saw the saint's anger, they couldn't help but bow their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Emperor Mingjian, this thunder, even if it is struck, it is to warn Weichen." Academician Liu got up from the ground unhurriedly, and arched his hand towards the emperor and said: "Yesterday, when the gods were dreaming, the gods talked about the Nanyan Rebellion, and someone intended to rebel!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
The emperor snorted, "Who is the intention to rebel?" ”
Academician Liu shook his head and sighed: "The minister doesn't know ......."
There was no follow-up to the matter here, and the ministers in the palace couldn't help but look at each other and discuss this matter.
At this time, a tiger general standing in front of him came out and said: "Your Majesty, how can this Academician Liu be able to get a dream from the gods." Moreover, what he said was full of flaws and could not be believed. ”
Indeed, this Academician Liu's words are too absurd and nowhere to be studied, so it is naturally difficult for people to believe.
So, the emperor just waved his hand and said: "I see that you are really in good spirits for a while, and you don't have to go to court during this time." ”
With that, with a wave of his big hand, he turned around and went down.
When Academician Liu left, he walked outside the palace gate, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he saw a set of eunuch clothes in the carriage, and the coachman who pulled the carriage looked back and said in a low voice: "This is sent by the father-in-law next to the emperor, let you change your clothes and go over." ”
Academician Liu originally thought that it would be good to remind the emperor as long as Baili Yunzheng said, but now it seems that the emperor wants to investigate to the end.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded and made a decision, "Okay." ”
After covering people's eyes and ears to the emperor's imperial study, the emperor really didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly to the point: "I know, this matter must not be simple, what do you want to tell me." ”
This thing of the heavenly god dreaming is too ridiculous, and the emperor guessed that this academician Liu was afraid that he wanted to hint at something.
Academician Liu thought for a while, and then asked, "Does the emperor know a thing or two about the Hou Ye?" ”
Hearing this, the emperor was slightly stunned, and asked in disbelief: "This matter is related to Zhenbei Hou?" ”
"Yes, Lord Hou previously discovered that there are ministers in the court who are buying and selling weapons, although their purpose is unknown, but the number is so large that people have to be suspicious. Because of this, Hou Ye caused a murderous disaster......"
"Nonsense!" The emperor jumped up, "There are people in the court who dare to sell weapons, how can I not know about this?" I know that you have a close relationship with Hou Ye, but if you say such things, you will not only avenge Hou Ye, but you must also pay for what you say. ”
Academician Liu nodded and said in a deep voice: "The minister naturally understands, but the matter is serious, and the minister will never dare to talk nonsense, so he can only implore the emperor to send someone to investigate in person, so as to find out." ”
