Dingtao Imperial Study

Yao Xing stood in the hall with his hands bowed, while Qingyang Xiu paced back and forth in front of the table, very anxious.

"I and Mu Yuan have known each other since they were young, what kind of honest and loyal person he Mu Yuan is, how can I not know? If it is said that he sacrificed his life to suppress bandits, I believe it, and it can be said that he killed good people and risked his merits. How is this possible! ”

"Your Majesty, General Dingyuan's matter is quite strange, and the minister has ordered the Xizhou Criminal Department Department to rush to Lanxiangcheng to investigate this matter."

"It's strange, I also think it's strange, only the Xizhou Criminal Department is not enough, and immediately let the Yunjin City Criminal Department Department dispatch elites to assist in the investigation."

The Criminal Department of Yunjin City also wants to transfer people? Yao Xing was shocked,

"Your Majesty, Yunjin City and Lan Xiangcheng are far apart, even if it is a light car and a fast horse, it will take eight days, and this round trip will take a long time. Zhong Wu, the director of the Xizhou Criminal Department, has been serving in the Xizhou Criminal Department since the previous dynasty, and has decided countless cases during his tenure. In the case of General Dingyuan, the minister believed that he would be able to handle it impartially. ”

"This matter is very important, and I have ordered Shang Shu to send people to Lan Xiang City. But what worries me the most is that if you look at the blood letter on the table, the people of Lanxiangcheng are true, especially Wang Ping, who lost his son one after another, it doesn't seem like he was framing him at all. ”

Qingyang Xiu handed Yao Xing the book of the people that had been spread out on the table for a long time, Yao Xing quickly took it and read it carefully, and the more he read, the more he felt wrong. Although he had already received the news that the horse thief that Mu Yuan led people into the desert to kill was actually a member of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, but in this book of ten thousand people, Mu Yuan's actions were involved in treason. It is said that Mu Yuan's move was to use the horse thief rebellion as a cover, intending to disrupt the order of the Dingtao trade route by killing the son of the chairman of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and after the "horse thief rebellion" was pacified, Di Rong could take advantage of the internal strife of the Dingtao Chamber of Commerce to grasp the financial power of the trade road between the two countries in one fell swoop, and make a lot of money.

Yao Xing never thought that someone wanted to design Mu Yuan, and what he did in Biansai became a move to add fuel to the fire. Who is behind this scene, Dijon Li Jin? Or there are also secret hands in Yunjin City, countless questions surged in Yao Xing's heart, and his face became more and more gloomy unconsciously.

Qingyang Xiu was worried about Mu Yuan's affairs, and sat back in front of the desk with his brows furrowed, not noticing Yao Xing's abnormal expression at all, and his voice was a little soft, as if he was talking to himself.

"I heard that Mu Yuan was escorted back to the capital, and he never mentioned the word wronged. What do you mean by Mu Yuan, is it really... No. ”

Qingyang Xiu didn't hear Yao Xing's response for a long time, and looked up to see Yao Xing holding the Book of Wanmin with his head lowered and couldn't see his expression clearly, so he coughed lightly, causing Yao Xing to look up. Then he waved at Yao Xing. Yao Xing immediately understood, saluted and said "the minister retires" and left the imperial study.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Yao Xing's adviser Gu Huai'an eagerly stepped forward.

"Prime Minister, what did the emperor say?"

"The emperor ordered that personnel from the Criminal Department of Yunjin City be dispatched to assist in the investigation."

"Yunjin City also wants to send people? However, the prime minister is assured that our manpower is only infested with horse thieves in Xiliang City, which is in the territory of Dirong, and Lan Xiangcheng is very clean and will not find out about us. ”

"Very good, it's just that I'm worried that Mu Yuan's matter is driven by the power of Yun Jincheng. Now that the Yunjin City Criminal Department is also intervening, I am afraid that Mu Yuan's murder of good deeds and even treason will be confirmed. ”

"Treason? Why did the prime minister say this? “

"Just now in the imperial study, the emperor handed me the book of ten thousand people, and the book of ten thousand people was sad and angry, and the voice was bloody. In the letter, it was pointed out that Mu Yuan's move was intentional, in order to take advantage of the horse thief rebellion to let Di Rong take advantage of the situation and grasp the financial power of the trade road. ”

"Mu Yuan is an upright person, and a discerning person can see that he was hooked at a glance, but the writing of these people is true, and it is even involved in treason. Is there any evidence on the emperor's side? ”

"The witnesses of the people of Lanxiangcheng and the president of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce will enter the capital together with the army escorting Mu Yuan in the near future, and the evidence will also enter the capital together, and the criminal department will also intervene in the investigation, and I am afraid that they will be confronted in court at that time."

"But just after listening to the prime minister's meaning, it seems that Mu Yuan was framed, and the person behind the scenes is from Yunjin City?"

"Huai'an, you said that Mu Yuan suppressed the bandits this time, who doesn't want to see him return triumphantly."

"Dijon, of course."

"Not to mention that Di Rong and Li Jin are now embattled because of the cutting of the domain, and it is unknown whether they have the heart to extend their hands to Xiliang City. Huai'an, you said that if Mu Yuan came back from the battle, how would the emperor reward him. ”

"I'm afraid that I want to take over the army of Dijon's northern frontier, and the prime minister is saying that in addition to Dijon, the last thing I want to see Mu Yuan return triumphantly is Xin... An Guohou. ”

"Exactly, that's what worries me the most. If this matter was not Di Rong's doing, now that the Yunjin City Criminal Department has intervened, with the power of An Guohou, it is not difficult for Mu Yuan to be convicted of the crime. ”

"But the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion has been favored since the previous dynasty, and now the Marquis of Anguo is the uncle of the country, and there are countless guests in the house, which can be described as a monstrous power, so why should you be afraid of Mu Yuan's reckless man?"

"Huai'an, you can't underestimate people's desire for power, Mu Yuan has been with the Holy Driver since he was a child, and the Holy Lord treats him special after all, and after two battles, Mu Yuan may not be able to rise to the top, and fight against An Guohou in terms of military power."

"Prime Minister, isn't this Mu Yuan... Gu Huai'an couldn't help but tremble in his Adam's apple, and then slowly spit out, "It's hard to escape." ”

"If Mu Yuan is gone, it will be tantamount to missing a big threat to Dijon and Lingyi, and I am afraid that there will be changes in recent years. Huai'an's investigation must involve our people, even if the truth can't be found, try to reduce Mu Yuan's crimes. ”

"Under the command."
