Chapter 40: The Killing Opportunity Begins
Mu Bingyue smiled bitterly in her heart, her eyes were on his black pupils staring at her, hiding the turmoil in her heart, and said coldly: "Chiyan has no possibility of turning over, even if I can, I won't be involved, not today, not in this life." ”
Xuanyuan Yi listened, there was no trace of emotion on his face, but his suspicion of her was a little shaken in his heart.
Looking at his expression, Mu Bingyue knew that all this would have to wait for Sima Han to send back the information before there was a conclusion, and her eyes were lowered, blocking his scrutinizing gaze, "I want to see the divorced daughter." ”
She thought about this matter, Xuanyuan Yi would not let her interfere in the investigation at all, the divorced daughter came to Xuanyuan with the convoy escorting the tribute grain, if it was really a plan set up by Nangong Chen, she was sure to find clues from her.
There are no absolutes in the world, she can no longer speculate on others with her own concepts, no matter who did it, she must know the truth.
Xuanyuan Yi frowned almost invisibly, his thin lips tightened, and after a while, he asked, "Why?" ”
If it was really Nangong Chen's doing, the arrival of the divorced daughter would have another purpose, and at this time she wanted to see her, no matter what the purpose was, he would not be at ease.
"If you can't rest assured, you can stand aside." Mu Bingyue didn't explain much, no matter what she said at this time, it would not dispel his suspicions, if she wanted this matter to come to light before Sima Han came back to 'close the coffin', she had to take this step.
Xuanyuan's gaze roamed back and forth between her eyebrows, and then left the Qilin Hall without saying a word.
Just when Mu Bingyue thought that Xuanyuan Yi silently rejected her request, in the evening, Xuanyuan Yi returned with a haggard face that could not be covered even with heavy makeup, and Ye Ling and the two got Xuanyuan Yi's order to retreat with a group of palace maids.
From time to time, there were three people left in the hall, and when she saw Xuanyuan Yi staying, she didn't plan to leave, her expression couldn't help but tighten, but she calmed down in an instant, and it seemed to be expected, Mu Bingyue kept looking at her, and she didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point: "This time the Red Flame Tribute Grain was faked, Nangong Chen is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Even though Nangong Chen's throne has long been in name only, the divorced daughter is still a little unaccustomed to Mu Bingyue calling the emperor by his name, although she feels a little uncomfortable, but seeing that Xuanyuan Yi is also waiting for her to answer, she has no choice but to reply: "The slave doesn't know." ”
This is the truth, this time she came to Xuanyuan Country with the convoy escorting tribute grain, and she didn't know until Sima Han exposed the matter, to say that Nangong Chen was involved in this matter, she really didn't know, but she knew that Nangong Rui was definitely not involved in this matter, and when she left, she was told by him more than once that she was going to take Xuanyuan Yi.
Thinking of this divorced girl, she couldn't help but feel sad, she didn't achieve any of the goals she came to, now Mu Bingyue is not only like a prisoner, but also the matter of tribute food makes her suspicious, at this time, Xuanyuan Yi is strictly guarded, if you want to talk to her privately, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Xuanyuan Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't think much of what the two of them said, if she was involved in this matter, how could she confess herself, if not, the purpose of her being sent here by Nangong Rui was only afraid that it was not pure than the fraud of tribute grain, he asked Xiang Mu Bingyue, "How can you conclude that Nangong Rui did not do this?" ”
"He would never do anything that threatened his throne." Mu Bingyue's mouth replied, but her eyes were fixed on the daughter, "On the way here, did you find anything wrong on the road?" ”
Linu raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Mu Bingyue quietly, she wiped away the chaotic thoughts in her eyes, and replied in a low voice: "Qin Duo is afraid that the deadline will be exceeded, and the journey is in a hurry, and most of the slaves and maids are sitting in the carriage, and there is still some distance from the grain team, and there is no fault found on the road" This is secretly saying that no matter who is on the road, there is no chance to commit a crime.
Speaking of this, the woman paused, and her eyes swept over Xuanyuan Yi, who was looking at Mu Bingyue intently, "Although there are many homeless people who often harass the convoy, Qin Duo always sends people to watch it strictly, and does not let the homeless people get close to the grain cart at all. ”
Xuanyuan Yi turned his gaze back and looked at the departed girl with a lowered gaze, and his face turned cold for a moment.
Mu Bingyue's heart suddenly, glanced at Xuanyuan Yi, and still couldn't help asking, "Are there a lot of Red Flame homeless people on the road?" ”
When the divorced girl heard this, she saw that Xuanyuan Yi was not displeased, and her heart became slightly excited, but she didn't dare to show a trace of expression on her face, but she still couldn't hide her excitement in her voice, "Nangong Rui heard that after Nangong Chen fled, he killed loyal ministers, and the villains in the court attacked each other in order to protect themselves, and the government was defeated, Nangong Rui was suspicious and cruel, and never verified those false accusations, not only killed the loyal ministers by mistake, but also practiced joint sitting, which made people panic and not say anything, and used this to ask the people for it." Tens of thousands of people have been displaced because they can't pay the grain, and the businessmen have taken advantage of this opportunistic shortcuts, hoarding and hoarding, and there are even officials who deceive and conceal the subordinates, expropriate and extort tyranny, and fill their own pockets.
Mu Bingyue's eyes gradually sank, and his hands were clenched tightly with indignation in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that those old ministers in the court let him do whatever he wants?" ”
When the divorced girl said this, her heart was also stuffy, her body couldn't help trembling, and when she heard Mu Bingyue's question, she shook her head with a wry smile, "The prime minister's repeated remarks have made Nangong Rui displeased, and most of the power has been taken advantage of by Qin Duo's villain, and the only remaining ministers in the court who still have a conscience are also submissive, and they dare not disobey Nangong Rui at all." ”
"The people were already living hard, after Shangrao was sacrificed, the people were living in dire straits, and the land was confiscated by Nangong Rui in various names, and the people had nowhere to live, and most of the people who migrated here were unbearable and fell on the side of the road."
Linu didn't continue to speak, but Mu Bingyue didn't know her unfinished voice, her hands tightened silently, and there was an indescribable heaviness in her eyes. The heavy blow hit the heart of the girl, even though she had a lot of unbearable hearts, but she knew that only Mu Bingyue could save Chi Yan at this time, even if she was imprisoned by Xuanyuan Yi's chains, even if she was trapped in the enemy palace, she believed that she could help Chi Yan as long as she wanted to.
There is only one purpose for her to come here, if the people want to get rid of the sea of suffering, then Nangong Rui must die, as for Nangong Chen, even if he can restore the country, Chiyan is no longer the original Chiyan.
From Mu Bingyue's tone, it is not difficult to guess that she does not know anything about Chiyan's domestic affairs, which makes most of her original uneasiness less, since Xuanyuan Yi's precise blockade of Chiyan does not let Mu Bingyue know, it fully shows that she still occupies a great position in his heart.
"Nangong Rui moved the capital to build the city, not only exhausted the national bank, but also occupied thousands of hectares of fertile land to build the capital, used the construction of the border city as an excuse to drive away the innocent people, in order to decorate the palace with treasures, but also wantonly looted the gentry, poor and luxurious." The divorced daughter knew that if she wanted Mu Bingyue to make up her mind, she had to give her a dose of fierce medicine, in order to save tens of millions of people, she was willing to bear the eternal charge of 'killing the king', and when the success was completed, she would announce the truth to the world, and she would also let public opinion avoid Mu Bingyue.
At the beginning, when she heard the divorced daughter call Nangong Rui's name, Mu Bingyue only thought that the divorced daughter was not angry at Nangong Rui's behavior of stealing the country and plotting rebellion, but when she heard this, she already understood the purpose of the divorced woman's coming. Although she couldn't find out at this moment, whether the divorced girl tried her best to cause her to kill Nangong Rui, whether she really wanted to save the people and suffering, or paved the way for Nangong Chen's reinstatement, but she couldn't help but kill Nangong Rui.
Xuanyuan Yi was surprised by the words of the divorced daughter, although he was extremely angry about the matter of the divorced daughter's speculation about his intentions, but he wanted to know more about Mu Bingyue's follow-up reaction.
If she wants to get rid of Nangong Rui, although it is not easy to say, it is also a backhand.
He'd seen her methods
"Who are the other loyal ministers in the court?" The prime minister exists in name only, and he alone cannot turn the tide, and this matter is related to the life and death of thousands of people, if it is not for the moment when she has to do it, she must not interfere.
She only has more than a year left, not to mention that even if she lives in hardship, if the country is destroyed, the people will only become slaves who are despised by others, the kind of cruelty of being a slave for life, and it is difficult to have human rights for generations, even if she is born in troubled times, it is unimaginable.
When discovering the New World, human beings could not escape the innate predatory inferiority, not only destroying a civilization, but also wantonly oppressing and exploiting the aborigines, and treating them as goods and property, carrying out inhumane trade and slavery, as a result, hundreds of millions of black people died, the black slave trade, this tragic history, it lasted for more than 400 years, and now the struggle of black slaves in the United States continues, even if the countries she lives in coexist peacefully and get out of the barbaric civilization era, that kind of darkness still exists, it is difficult to prohibit, In these turbulent times, what can one person do?
Between her eyebrows, Mu Bingyue fell silent, and Xuanyuan Yi on the side waved her hand to let the girl retreat.
Although Linu didn't declare her purpose this time, how could he not hear it if he was as smart as Xuanyuan Yi, to be honest, he was a little impressed by these people around Mu Bingyue, especially the one who had just left.
Qinglou is a righteous prostitute, and the heroes are all dog slaughterers. He also heard a little about this sentence, Chiyan was defeated, after Nangong Rui ascended the throne, he was drunk with money, did not think about the government, and the close ministers were even more fond of it, forcibly seized it, and his life was rotten, regardless of the life and death of the people, except for some people who were suspected of Mujiazhuang coming out to give charity and porridge, there were only these prostitutes who were often poked and scolded in the backbone to take money and silver out to help, although their money was obtained from those corrupt officials by selling their bodies, but from the emperor to the ministers when the country was in trouble, no one came forward, the way of the world is like this, It's really hard not to be embarrassed.
