Mu Yan's luck was good, and the two didn't greet each other for too long, and soon, Luo Feng came and said, "Son, Commander Mu asked to meet Liu Qianhu." ”

Although Luo Feng did not name him, Prince Li knew that Mu Commander was referring to Mu Jinfan, the son of the former prince of Taijun.

Prince Li guessed that they were going back and forth to Xining, so he got up and said goodbye with interest: "Ah Yan, you have something to do here, then the king won't bother you, let's talk again when we have time." ”

"Then I'll have a drink with Uncle Huang next time." Mu Yan smiled, and then ordered Luofeng Dao, "Luofeng, you help me send off guests." ”

"Lord Wang, please."

Luo Feng personally opened the curtain for Prince Li, and Prince Li and Mu Jinfan happened to staggered by.

Prince Li's gaze inevitably fell on Mu Jinfan, the young man with a weak crown was handsome and had a cold temperament, just walking with his head held high, his whole body released a sense of alienation that no one should enter.

Even when he saw Prince Li, Mu Jinfan was only slightly bowed and very cold.

Prince Li was not surprised, after all, when Mu Jinfan was taken away from the throne of the prince of Taijun, there was no one in the clan to stand up for him because of Liang Sicheng's treason, and it was natural for Mu Jinfan to have a little resentment in his heart.

Prince Li stepped out of the study, and heard Mu Jinfan's familiar voice behind him: "Regent, Li Xining has been captured alive ......" The young man's voice was unhurried, with a little coldness and solemnity.

Prince Li couldn't help but glance back at the study, his eyes flashing.

In any case, Mu Yan's willingness to reuse Mu Jinfan is a good thing, firstly, it means that he misses his old feelings, and secondly, it also means that he is not exclusive to the children of the clan. If Mu Yan can promote some of the clan's children after he takes the throne, the clan can rest assured, and there is no need to worry about Mu Yan settling the "old accounts", so that the two sides can be safe.

Prince Li paused for only a moment, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

In the study, Mu Jinfan was still solemnly pleading on business: "The group of Nanhuai remnants who came to rob the prisoners today, a total of fifty people, half of them were captured alive, the other half were killed on the spot, and no one fled. ”

Mu Yan smiled slightly and praised with satisfaction: "Very good!" ”

Mu Jinfan's eyes were bright and bright, and he talked about the deployment and pursuit in detail.

Li Xining's matter, Mu Yan was given full authority to them Jin Wuwei to be responsible, and Jin Wuwei has been carefully deployed for a long time.

Since Mu Yan ordered Li Xining to be handed over to the three divisions for interrogation, they Jin Wuwei deployed manpower at various city gates, stared at the people entering and leaving the capital, and found several groups of suspicious people, Mu Jinfan sent people to keep an eye on these people secretly.

This group of Nanhuai Yu was very cautious, and entered the city in batches of three or five people, and after that, they did not meet in Beijing, and they walked in their respective positions, and their appearances and accents looked no different from ordinary Dasheng people, they were either disguised as merchants, or dressed as merchants, or pretended to be ordinary farmers, etc.

At noon today, the prisoner car escorting Li Xining to the execution ground drove out of the prison of the Criminal Department, escorted and defended by Jin Wuwei along the way, Jin Wuwei was tight inside and loose outside, deliberately exposing gaps in defense, giving the gang of Nanhuai remnants a chance to lurk in Fengying Street.

When the opportunity came, they let the other party rob Li Xining with smoke bombs. After that, Jin Wuwei's people stared at this group of people from a distance, asked the other party to show them the way, and chased them all the way from Beijing to outside Beijing, only to find the den where the gang of Nanhuai remnants were hiding, surrounded them, and wiped them out.

This plan is simple to say, and when it is implemented, it must be interlocking and cautious, and one careless will allow the thief to escape as he wishes.

Finally, the plan worked.

Mu Jinfan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. For the sake of this game, it is not easy for them Jin Wuwei to go up and down, he has not had a good rest these days.

While listening, Mu Yan nodded slightly, drank tea leisurely, and seemed absent-minded, and after Mu Jinfan finished speaking, he asked: "How much do you know about the smoke bombs of Nanhuai people in advance?" ”

"......" Mu Jinfan was dumbfounded for a while.

They could not have guessed that Nan Huai Yu would do it on Fengying Street, but they didn't know exactly what means the other party used to rob the prisoner. If the smoke released by the smoke bombs used by Nan Huaiyu was poisonous, so many ordinary people on the street, the impact would be unimaginable, and even they would be afraid that Jin Wuwei would lose some of them.

Mu Jinfan and Liu Qianhu just thought about it, and they felt shocked, and solemnly bowed their heads and hugged their fists and said, "This is the mistake of the last general." "There's so much more they need to think about.

Mu Yan didn't dwell too much on this issue, no one is born to win battles, who is not gradually growing up in blood again and again, exchanging blood and crisis for growth.

Besides, in terms of results, it's always good.

Mu Yan's eyes flashed, and he said: "Jinfan, Liu Qianhu, you did a good job on this errand, you let everyone go back and have a good rest." ”

"In three days, there will be a batch of firecrackers to be sent from the capital to Jinju, and they will be handed over to you Jinwuwei to escort."

While speaking, Mu Yan quietly gave Mu Jinfan a look.

Mu Jinfan and Mu Yan have known each other for a long time, and this tacit understanding is still there, and they immediately understood.

He clenched his fists and received the order in an orderly manner: "Regent, the last general will obey." Liu Qianhu beside him also bowed down.

As soon as Mu Jinfan came back, he heard about the killing of the third prince on the way to exile, and today's action regarding Li Xining, Mu Yan was given full authority to Jin Wuwei, and even Mu Yan himself didn't know about the specific deployment.

Therefore, there may be something wrong with Jin Wuwei's internal affairs.

Mu Jinfan squinted, and a sharp light flashed under his eyes, and it disappeared in a flash. Mu Yan deliberately chose this time to talk about the matter of escorting the fire gun, because he wanted to confirm this.

Maybe the matter of the three princes was just a simple coincidence, but if it wasn't a coincidence, the fire gun should be a enough bait to pull out the nails lurking in Jin Wuwei.

Mu Yan hooked his lips, knowing that Mu Jinfan understood what he meant.

He leaned leisurely on the back of the chair behind him, his slender fingers casually turned the bamboo leaf in his hand, and generously promised: "Jinfan, if you do a good job on this errand, I will give you a knighthood." ”

On the surface, Mu Yan was talking about the errand of escorting the fire gun, but Mu Jinfan knew that the title promised by Mu Yan was about the matter of internal response.

"Thank you, Lord Regent." Mu Jinfan solemnly responded again.

Mu Yan didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and let the two of them retreat.

On this day, there was a feeling of turmoil in the capital.

Before the news of Li Xining's robbery spread, he had already been captured and arrested by Jinwu Health again.

Immediately afterwards, the news of the death of the third prince suddenly suppressed the matter of Li Xining, setting off a storm between the various mansions in the capital, and the ministers were full of doubts and speculations, and most of them turned their suspicious eyes to the regent Mu Yan.

In the next few days, the court and the central government were not peaceful, and from time to time there were courtiers who asked for the three princes:

"Please ask the regent to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the third son of the emperor, Mu Youjing!"

"The Mu bloodline can't die in vain."

"Regent, the death of Mu Youjing, the third son of the emperor, is strange, and this case must be thoroughly investigated, the murderer must be brought to justice, and the soul of the deceased in heaven must be comforted!"

“……”

These people are talking about "unclear death" and "comforting the soul of the deceased in the sky", and the words are clearly implying that Mu Yan will do whatever it takes to kill his cousins for the sake of the throne.

When an old minister finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

All the courtiers were looking at Mu Yan to see how he would react.

As a result, before Mu Yan could react, Prince Li stood up first, and retorted righteously: "What your lords said is not true. Mu Youjing conspired against the crime, the crime is unforgivable, and he has been removed from the royal family. Now that he had been attacked and killed in exile, the case should have been handed over to the local government according to the laws of Daishing. ”

Prince Li's words represent the meaning of the clan.

Moreover, it is obvious that the clan is on Mu Yan's side.

His words were simply slapping the courtiers in the face, which meant that even the clan didn't care about Mu Youjing, and asked them to come and talk crookedly!

The atmosphere in the hall became very delicate.

The courtiers, who were still shouting with righteous indignation, were speechless.

They said so much, but they only implied that Mu Youjing's death was suspicious, and they didn't plan to face Mu Yan openly, after all, for the sake of a dead man, it was not worth it to the future Son of Heaven.

However, Prince Li is talking about this now, if they speak for Mu Youjing again, they will inevitably give people the impression of the "Three Princes' Party".

Even if he really wants to avenge Mu Youjing, it is more appropriate for Jiang Deshen to do it.

The ministers exchanged glances with subtle expressions.

Mu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to them, stood up directly, and only threw down a sentence: "If it's okay, just disperse." ”

He walked away without looking back.

After he left, the temple exploded again.

Mu Yan went straight to the noon gate, today is the day when Li Xining is executed again.

This series of twists and turns of execution has stained this incident with a bit of legend, and there are more people who come to watch the execution today than last time.

Outside the noon gate execution ground, there are dense human heads, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and most people actually can't see the execution at all, that is, to feel the lively atmosphere.

As the regent, Mu Yan naturally easily entered the noon gate execution ground, and also entered Li Xining's field of vision.

The scorching sun scorched the earth.

Kneeling on the ground, with his hands and feet in shackles, Li Xining described kneeling on the torture platform in embarrassment, his dirty hair falling haphazardly, and his messy beard almost covering half of his face.

As soon as he saw Mu Yan appear, Li Xining's eyes immediately became blood-red like a beast, and his face was hideous.

"Despicable villain!" Li Xining excitedly roared at Mu Yan in a nostalgic voice, "Mu Yan, if you have the ability, you will have a real battle with Ben Shuai!" What heroes are calculated with such intrigues! ”

In fact, Li Xining had already realized that something was wrong when he was rescued, but the situation at that time was equivalent to the arrow on the string had been shot, and there was no turning back, and he had no other way but to continue to escape, along the way, he also arranged, trying to confuse the sight of the pursuers, but after going around in a circle, they still failed to get rid of the pursuers.

Later, when he was caught, he understood that Mu Yan was training with them!

Li Xining glared at Mu Yan fiercely, really eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Mu Yan walked to Li Xining's side calmly, Li Xining knelt, Mu Yan stood, and when he looked down at Li Xining, he couldn't help but have a bit of condescending.

"Fight?" Mu Yan smiled mockingly, and said in a nostalgic voice, "Haven't we already competed?" ”

They are generals, so the place where they compete is the battlefield, for them, there is no one-to-one, only country to country.

Succeed in the king, now he wins, it is Dasheng who wins!

"......" Li Xining's eyes widened, speechless, and his face was extremely ugly.

Mu Yan strode forward, continued to walk forward, and announced in a low voice: "Execution." ”

At the same time as the words fell, the executioner took out a warrant and threw it heavily on the execution table, and then the executioner raised the butcher knife high, aimed the cold knife at Li Xining's neck, and swung it down heavily......

A slash to the soul.

Li Xining's head fell like a leather bow, and blood suddenly gushed out from the broken wound in his neck, staining the executioner's knife and face red.

This bloody scene caused a burst of warm applause around the noon gate execution ground.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The people cheered and shouted excitedly.

"Well killed!"

"How many people in the south have been killed by this Li Xining, even if he dies ten thousand times, it will be cheap for him!"

"yes. When I return to the south, I must tell my family so that they can follow suit! ”

“……”

At this moment, there are not only people from the capital, but also other people from the north and south of the river, including some people from the south, who either came to Beijing to do business, or came to the capital to watch Li Xining's execution.

In the past few years, the people in the south have been too bitter, hundreds of people have died under the butcher's knife of the Nanhuai army, hundreds of people have been ruined, and there have been countless tragedies in the world.

It was only at this moment that these southerners found an outlet for hatred, some laughing in ecstasy, and some weeping bitterly.

The execution was over, but the onlookers did not leave, as if the undulating sea, wave after wave, did not calm down for a long time.

Mu Yan looked around at the people around the execution ground, and suddenly ordered: "Hang Li Xining's head on the city wall and expose it to the sun for three days." ”

A simple sentence drew another round of thunderous applause and applause.

At this juncture, this order is even more inspiring.

Not only that, Mu Yan also made people post a notice that day, firstly, for the fact that Li Xining was beheaded to show the public, and secondly, to announce to the people that Jin Wuwei had captured the original Nanhuai spy.

The news soon spread in the capital, and everywhere there were people praising the regent's feats:

"The Lord Regent is truly wise! With him, neither the Nanhuai people nor other barbarians can make any waves. ”

"That's right, that's right! Look, the regent is really sharp-eyed, and those Nanhuai spies lurking in the capital can't hide his eyes! ”

"With the Lord Regent here, our people in Dasheng will be at ease......"

“……”

In the midst of praise, occasionally some people said that the third prince was killed on the way to exile, trying to lead public opinion to Mu Yan, alluding to Mu Yan's eradication of dissidents and murder of his cousin, but for Mu Yan, now is the time when he is most popular with the people, and these inconsistencies and tricks have not caused any waves at all, and they have subsided.

Early in the morning of August 14, Jiang Deshen entered the palace, knelt outside the Wuying Palace, and cried and begged the regent to thoroughly investigate the murder of the third prince.

He said with tears in his eyes that although the third prince was demoted to a commoner, he was also the emperor's son and son, and he could not die in vain.

Jiang De knelt on the ground, and did not directly say that the murderer was Mu Yan, but just cried and begged for a thorough investigation.

This commotion naturally attracted the strange eyes of some officials passing by, who stopped at a distance one by one, pointed at Jiang Deshen, and discussed privately.

Jiang Deshen's kneeling was a stick of incense and didn't get up, crying and howling, which made those who heard it sad and those who listened to it shed tears.

In the Wuying Palace, there has been no movement.

"Please, Regent......"

Jiang Deshen's voice was hoarse, and at this time, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind him: "Isn't this Lord Jiang?" ”

This male voice is calm and relaxed, which is too familiar to Jiang Deshen.

Jiang Deshen's body stiffened, and he felt that his eyes were dark, and a shadow slowly coming towards this side enveloped him, and the comer quickly walked to his side.

Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, what~~

I couldn't stay at home today, so I ran out and bought a cup of coffee, and I was finally refreshed!
