Chapter 282: Looking for a Spy
"It's time for us to go to the front room, too." Mu Liran and her maid left the study.
After arriving at the front hall, Mu Liran said to the people who were eating:
"Everyone is full, our palace is now out of the fine work, this fine work took advantage of me and the prince's absence, colluded with people outside to put the dragon robe into the palace, resulting in the prince being wrongfully imprisoned, this fine work must still be in our palace."
Before Mu Liran finished speaking, the people below were whispering there, exchanging heads.
"Why, there are fine works among us."
"Yes, who is so conscienceless, the prince and princess are so good to us."
"If I let me know who has to pick his skin for the prince." The steward of the palace let out cruel words.
"Be quiet, I'm not done yet." Mu Liran cleared his throat and shouted loudly.
At this time, Mu Wan took a torch and handed it to Mu Liran.
Mu Liran held the torch in his hand and looked at it for a long time before walking in front of everyone.
"Do you see the torch in my hand?" Mu Liran shook the torch in her hand at everyone and asked casually.
Those people didn't know why Mu Liran held the torch in her hand to show them, and they all responded: "I saw the princess." ”
Mu Liran sneered: "Okay, since everyone has seen the torch in my hand, then I will tell you clearly, so that you can die more clearly." ”
Those people didn't know why Mu Liran suddenly said such a thing, they all looked at each other, looking like they didn't know why.
Mu Liran looked at these people in the palace coldly: "If the prince can't be released from the prison in the palace at the third watch tonight and return to the palace safely, then all of you will have to be buried together." ”
She said it crisply, unquestionably, and majesticly.
When they heard this, all the people in the palace exclaimed, and then they began to speak.
"What? We all have to be buried together, what kind of sin is this! ”
"It was the god killer who harmed the prince and affected us."
"I still have an eighty-year-old mother at home, what can I do?" There a man was crying.
"Who is it, who has the ability to stand up, don't let everyone accompany him to be punished." Another man stood up and shouted.
As soon as Mu Liran's words fell, there was a sudden noise in the palace, and those people were crying wolves there.
She waited a little longer, but no one came to report that someone had gone out.
Mu Liran thought for a while, maybe that fine work thought that he was scaring people, so at this time, Mu Liran raised the torch in his hand and said loudly: "Come on, since there is no one honest, then lock them all up in the empty room of the palace, and no one is allowed to fall." ”
After Mu Liran finished speaking, a few strong men with big knives came over, they were all cronies and secret guards cultivated by Zhan Cangming, and they just came in handy at this time.
As soon as these people came, they scared those subordinates half to death, and they dared to resist there.
"Let's go, be honest."
Those little maids in the palace were so scared that they cried for their fathers and mothers, and they didn't want to go to that room, but they didn't dare not go.
If they don't go, they're afraid of those big men.
"All go in, don't lie down at the door, go inside."
After the men were inside, the door to the room was locked from the outside.
The people who were locked inside knocked on the door desperately, telling their grievances, all saying that they didn't do it themselves, and the palace was suddenly noisy, but Mu Liran was not moved at all.
After all the people were locked up in the empty house, only Zhan Cangming's cronies and Mu Liran were left in the palace.
Mu Liran did this, she didn't have a bottom in her heart, she also crossed the river by feeling the stones, and she didn't know the depth.
There must be a fine work in the palace, there is no doubt about this.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to accurately know that they and Zhan Cangming were not in the palace, and they could frame them while they were away.
Now Mu Liran was not sure if that fine work had left the palace.
But she has no other way, she can only do this at present, and how to know if she has left the palace without trying.
Besides, ants still steal life, let alone people.
As long as that fine work is still in the palace, then he will definitely cherish his life, and he will not be burned to death so quietly.
That's why Mu Liran made up his mind to do this.
"Princess, go back to the house and take a rest and eat something." Mu Wan persuaded Mu Liran.
Because from morning to now, Mu Liran has not eaten anything again.
Mu Liran nodded, yes, you can't make it yet, you haven't found it yet, you fell first, if that's the case, let's save Zhan Cangming.
At this time, you must hold on, you can't fall, it's time to go eat something.
"You guys keep a good guard here, don't let them run out, I'll come when I go."
Mu Liran was still a little worried about leaving like this, but she had to leave again.
After the two of them returned to the house, Mu Wan personally went to the kitchen to make some light food for Mu Liran.
Because all the servants in the palace were locked up in that empty room.
Mu Wan brought the food to Mu Liran, and Mu Liran ate some of it, so she asked Mu Wan to put it away.
"Let's go, let's go somewhere and see if there's anything new." Mu Liran and Mu Wan went to the room where those people were being held again.
Mu Liran used this method to scare that fine work and see if she had the courage to jump out and admit it.
"Still no movement?" Mu Liran came here and asked the guards outside.
"Back to the princess, there is still no movement over there, will it?" replied the guard respectfully.
Maybe he hasn't decided whether to admit it or not, so just wait a little longer, Mu Liran thought to himself.
"Then wait, I'll give him another piece of incense, and if no one comes forward to admit it, then send them all on their way." Mu Liran's voice was very loud, and the people in the room really listened to it.
"Princess, give you a chair, you sit here." As soon as she heard this, Mu Wan hurriedly brought a chair to Mu Liran, and she helped Mu Liran sit on the chair.
At this time, the palace was lit red by torches, as bright as day.
Those people have been locked up in an empty room for an hour, and it is time to think about any concerns, Mu Liran thought.
So, Mu Liran said loudly to the house: "Listen to the fine work inside, if you stand up now, you can save one of your lives, if you don't come out again, set fire to this house, and let the people in the house die first." ”
"Also, don't you think it's too cruel for you to do this? So many people are with you to die, because of your impulse, they are all old and young, leaving them, maybe more people will die, I'm afraid your own relatives may also die for you, do you think those people will let your family go? ”
"If you admit it now, bypassing your life, as long as you tell the mastermind behind it, someone must have asked you to do it, don't be burned to death in this house and regret it too late."
Mu Liran, in order to make the fine work admit it, was there to persuade hard.
At this time, there was also chaos in the house, "Yes, the princess is right, if you dare to do it, you dare to admit it, don't let your family and everyone so many innocent people bury you with you." ”
"If you make a careful work, you will admit it, the princess has said that she will not let you die, and you must have been instructed by others."
"My old mother is still counting on me to provide for her in her old age. Whining. The man burst into tears.
Anyway, no one stood up, could it be that he made a mistake in judgment, and that fine work had already left the palace.
But recently, there are no fewer people in the palace, and the housekeeper has not reported it.
I can't care so much, since no one admits it, then give them some color to see.
I have said that I want to burn them, if I don't implement it, then what prestige do I have in this palace.
"Whoever is meticulous, give you another chance, stand up immediately, lest you die, otherwise, the house will be set on fire immediately." ”
Mu Liran shouted to the house with a glimmer of hope after doing it.
But still no one has come forward, and they can't wait any longer.
"Mu Wan, go to the firewood room to get some dry firewood, and get some oil."
At this time, Mu Liran is really going to put it into action.
"It's the princess, the slave and maid brought all the firewood, and brought all the oil from our kitchen, and made sure that the house was piled up all around."
This Mu Wan is also quite good at making mud, trying to exaggerate things as much as possible, so that the people inside are afraid.
"Brother Guard, please help me go to the firewood room to get firewood." Mu Wan shouted loudly.
"Okay, Sister Mu Wan."
A guard followed Mu Wan away.
After a while, Mu Wan and the guard returned.
Mu Wan was carrying an oil drum, and the guard was holding a hug of firewood.
"Princess, where did you put the firewood?" Mu Wan asked.
"Put it somewhere." Mu Liran pointed to her side with his hand, which was five or six meters away from the house.
After Mu Wan put down the firewood, Mu Liran got up and took a torch from the guard.
"Since you don't want to jump out, then don't blame me for being rude, I've already given you a chance, it's you who didn't grasp this chance to survive, and now you have to fulfill your promise, go die, you guys."
After Mu Liran finished speaking, he threw the torch on the firewood.
"Mu Wan went find some fans." Mu Liran instructed Mu Wan.
Mu Wan didn't know why Mu Liran wanted a fan, but since the master wanted it, she could only get it.
"Come on, pour the oil." Mu Liran ordered the guards again.
The guard lifted the oil drum and poured oil on the firewood.
Originally, the pair of firewood was lit, and after pouring oil on it, a puff of smoke rose as if the fire was very strong.
"Princess, the slave and maid have brought the fan." Mu Wan said breathlessly, it can be seen that she is running back and forth.
"Okay, give me a hand, and start fanning the flames against that room."
Mu Liran said as he took a fan and began to fan.
Immediately afterward, Mu Wan and the guards fanned the fire and smoke together towards the house.
It turned out that the princess meant this, and she was still scaring that fine work.
How could the kind-hearted master really burn so many people, it turned out that this was the master's plan.
Mu Liran admired Mu Liran's clever method in his heart.
By this time the room was filled with smoke, and they began to cry and howl again.
In fact, these are just on the surface to look like they are burning, in fact, they are some firewood next to the house, the house is not burning at all, the purpose of this is to scare the fine work and want him to stand up.
