"Liu Ying, this slut is vicious and vicious, I can't think of anyone else except her."

Liu Yinggang wanted to refute, but found that Xie Chongning looked at him coldly, "Then you said it was Second Master Mu, what about your evidence?" ”

Why does this sound strange when she says this, isn't this what she said to Li Miaozhen back then! Now it has been used by Xie Chongning.

Liu Ying nodded happily, although she didn't know what Mu Hening was doing outside, but she still overheard some of it, "I have, I have, Mu Hening has known a few bandits, I have seen them once, if I can see them again, I will definitely be able to recognize them." ”

"What a bandit, that's a few of my ordinary friends." Mu Hening roared.

"They have an eagle tattooed on their left arm!" Liu Ying ignored Mu Hening and continued to explain to Xie Chongning, "That was what I didn't see at that time, I heard what they said about the Flying Eagle Gang. ”

This Flying Eagle Gang is the first time Xie Chongning has heard of it, and what Liu Ying said needs to be further confirmed.

"You are talking nonsense, what is that Flying Eagle Gang, you don't want to deceive Lord Xie with nonsense." Mu Hening retorted.

"I don't want to hear that, just tell me who buried this body." Xie Chongning's gaze stayed on the bones.

"It's too hard for a woman to be able to dig three feet into the ground." Mu Yu said objectively.

Not to mention that there are five bones buried in the ground, even if it is just one, digging such a deep pit and then filling it is not easy for a woman.

With Liu Ying's small body, she is the only one, and it is almost impossible.

"Miss Mu is right." Xie Chongning's gaze was biased towards Mu Yu, and then nodded.

"Lord Xie is very clear!" Seeing that she was saved, Liu Ying began to flatter Xie Chongning with tears in her eyes.

Xie Chongning's gaze turned cold, and he said quietly, "But if the second lady doesn't know anything about this corpse, I don't think so, someone will come, take the second master and his wife together, and go to Dali Temple for interrogation." ”

The guards of Dali Temple pressed the two people who were arguing with each other and went down, Mu Yi glanced at the cold Xie Chongning, and said slowly, "My lord, I know that this case involves the Luanping Marquis Mansion, and I voluntarily ask for leave and will not participate in this case." ”

Mu Yi's approach is to show that their Luanping Marquis Mansion will never know what these two people have done, and no matter how Dali Temple disposes of the two, Luanping Marquis Mansion will never complain.

Xie Chongning nodded, and responded to his request, but when his eyes swept over Mu Yu, he said lightly, "Xie will definitely find out about this matter, and the Hou Mansion can rest assured." ”

When Mu Yu heard this, he glanced at Xie Chongning, and his worried heart suddenly calmed down. Although Xie Chongning had a cold face, he was actually comforting himself, he would definitely not wronged the innocent people in the Luanping Marquis Mansion.

Xie Chongning took away the two people from the Hou Mansion, and after only half a day of interrogation, the two of them confessed their crimes clearly.

Mu Erye and Liu Ying are both rich families, and they have never suffered hardships, let alone the punishments of Dali Temple, but after half a round, what should be said and what should not be said have been explained.

Liu Ying really didn't know what was going on outside with Second Master Mu, but she did really bump into the scene where Second Master Mu buried the body, originally she came forward to interrogate, but was threatened by Second Master Mu to bury the body with him.

And those women are indeed women who disappeared outside the capital, but a few, they were bought by Mu Erye from others, trained and then sold, and the more resisting ones became the souls under the tree.

When Mu Yu heard such a result, he couldn't help but tremble and clenched his white tender hands, "Why did the Mu family raise such a cruel person?" ”

Mu Yi was also full of anger, but what he was going to face later could suppress his anger.

"Big brother, how do you say the emperor will decide if he knows about this matter?" All cases involving officials of the third rank and above must be submitted to the emperor, and the emperor will decide the matter.

"The emperor will not let the innocent people of the Luanping Marquis Mansion give away their names for this, and the rest ......" Mu Yi shook his head, the gentleman's will is unpredictable.

At the same time, Shang Shufang, Xie Chongning presented a recital, which was about Mu Hening's killing of a civilian woman.

The emperor was wearing a golden dragon robe, sitting at the desk in the study, he was almost middle-aged, compared to the appearance of Xie Chongning when he first saw him six years ago, there were more traces of time, but his figure was still upright.

After he flipped through the folds, Long Yan was furious, slapped the folds on the table, and said angrily, "This Luanping Marquis Mansion really doesn't take me seriously, and dares to rob people and kill people under my nose." ”

Xie Chongning lowered his head slightly and didn't say a word.

"According to the law, what should be done with this Luanping Marquis Mansion?"

"Whoever kills one person pays for his life. More than five people will be punished by three clans. Xie Chongning replied calmly, seemingly not ready to meddle in this case at all.

The emperor suddenly chuckled, as if the anger just now was just an illusion, "What is Xie Aiqing's opinion?" ”

"I wonder what the emperor thinks?" Xie Chongning skillfully threw the question to the emperor.

"I thought that although this Mu Hening had committed a heinous crime, the other people in the Luanping Marquis Mansion were innocent, and this Zhu Sanclan seemed to be a little unreasonable." The emperor paused slightly.

Xie Chongning stood in front of the emperor, listening carefully, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

But he knew that the emperor was testing him just now. No matter whether the Luanping Marquis Mansion was good or bad for him back then, after all, it was the Luanping Marquis Mansion that took him in, so that he didn't have to flee to live.

It is precisely because of this that this matter has always been a thorn in the stalk between him and the emperor.

"But if I don't punish them, I'm afraid that the people of this world will be unsettled, and I will also seek justice for the people."

Xie Chongning understands that the emperor must be a loyal and righteous person, and the Luanping Marquis Mansion has a meritorious service in founding the country, and the words of collecting military power must not come out of the emperor's mouth.

What's more, the emperor did this, but also wanted him to have a break with the Luanping Marquis Mansion, if he advised the emperor to take back the military power of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, then he Xie Chongning would have nothing to do with the Luanping Marquis Mansion.

"The emperor is merciful and does not want to hurt the lives of innocent people, so it is better to take the military power of the Marquis of Luanping to set an example." Xie Chongning did as the emperor intended.

The emperor's face hesitated slightly, pretending to hesitate, "This is not a good way, but after all, the Luanping Marquis Mansion has a meritorious service in the founding of the country, and I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of loyal ministers." ”

The emperor just hoped that Xie Chongning would continue to persuade himself, so as to completely sever the connection between Xie Chongning and the Luanping Marquis Mansion.

Who knew that Xie Chongning actually borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said bluntly, "If the emperor is afraid of hurting the heart of the Hou Ye, it is better to only take away the 30,000 soldiers of the Luanping Marquis Mansion." ”

Hearing this, the emperor's face immediately turned ugly as if he had eaten. Xie Chongning, who has always been smart, how could he be confused in this matter?

"It is easy for the emperor to take away the 50,000 troops of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, but there are some things, if the emperor is too anxious, it will only backfire." Xie Chongning calmly pointed to the emperor.

This Ming Dynasty is not a marquis of Luanping, there are many people who hold military power, if these marquis are all in danger and have a heart of indulgence, the emperor's situation will only be more difficult at that time.

"The emperor can take away all the military power of the Marquis of Luanping, which is exactly what the cabinet wants."

The emperor, who was still hiding anger in his heart, heard Xie Chongning mention the "cabinet", his eyes instantly cleared up and understood Xie Chongning's intentions.

This time, what Xie Chongning said was not wrong, it was indeed easy to take away 50,000 soldiers, and from now on, he would not have to take the Luanping Marquis Mansion in his eyes.

However, the other marquis will be panicked, and maybe they will join the cabinet because of this.

The power of 50,000 soldiers is a small matter, and it is a big taboo to startle the snake.

The emperor thought about it, nodded and laughed again, "You kid is smart, the Marquis of Luanping is kind to you, and now your words have solved the urgent need of the Marquis of Luanping." ”

"The emperor praised falsely, the Luanping Marquis Mansion is indeed kind to the minister, and the minister has always remembered it in his heart, and now the minister has also repaid the favor, but he has the worry in his heart." As soon as this favor was repaid, he had nothing to do with the Luanping Marquis Mansion.

Xie Chongning's answer really made the emperor happy, although he intended to test Xie Chongning's kid before, but now in exchange for this kid's words of loyalty, can he not be happy?

Immediately, the emperor sent an order down and called Mu Heyun.

Mu Heyun rushed to Shang Shufang in a hurry, he had already washed his neck and was ready, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt down directly without waiting for the emperor to speak.

"The minister is guilty! The minister connived at his brother to commit such a heinous crime, and he deserved death. Mu Heyun lowered his head and said bitterly.

"Aiqing, please get up, Xie Aiqing has already told me, what Mu Hening did is completely unknown to the others in the Luanping Marquis Mansion, you are all innocent, I know." The emperor's tone was quite gentle.

But the more gentle the emperor is, the more bottomless Mu Heyun's heart becomes, "The minister can't get up, the minister is guilty." ”

Mu Heyun was an anxious person, and before the emperor could speak, he continued, "But the minister's family is very innocent, and the minister is willing to exchange all the military power in his hands for more than 70 innocent lives of the whole family. ”

The emperor listened to it, although Mu Heyun, the old fox, was eager for quick success, but he was very smart.

Mu Heyun thought that he would be able to block the holy decree back if he was the first to take the lead, but he didn't know that he was so fast-talking, but he showed his hole cards first.

The emperor paced in front of Mu Heyun, put his hand under Mu Heyun's arm, and helped him up, "Aiqing is so serious, how can I be an indiscriminate person, and I will definitely not harm the innocent lives of the Luanping Marquis Mansion." ”

Xie Chongning looked coldly at the two who were performing with each other, took a step back without a trace, and avoided the battlefield.

"But after all, Aiqing, as a brother, you have no way to discipline you, and it is impossible for me not to punish you."

Mu Heyun is like a lamb being slaughtered at this time, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, the emperor is bored and says anything, he nods and responds.

"Aiqing mentioned just now that he wants to hand over the military power, which is indeed a good way." The emperor's squinted eyes flashed with the essence of calculation.
