Huo Mingzhao felt that it was very strange that Mu Yuanshan, not to mention the champion of Sanyuan and the first, did not directly enter the Hanlin Academy, that is, the fact that he was expelled from the capital was strange enough, after all, all families want to be face-saving, and what is important is that a family ugliness cannot be publicized, but the Mu family kicked out a descendant house because of such a trivial matter, and someone must have operated it behind the scenes.

There is another thing that is very strange, that is, Mu Yuanshan's lady.

They have been checking for so long, and they only have a few sentences of description of Mu Yuanshan's lady, which roughly shows that she is a daughter of the same clan as Concubine Ning Niangniang in the palace, and even her appearance and figure, etc., are not known to a few people, it is said that the woman who can give birth to such a stunning beauty as Mu Chonglan is definitely also a stunning beauty, but such a stunning beauty has not come out at all, isn't it strange?

His eyes rolled, Huo Mingzhao always felt that something was hidden behind the fog, but he didn't know how to get rid of this fog, so he could only write it down, thinking about finding Mu Yuanshan another day to ask one or two to see if he could find any clues.

In a few days, Emperor Sheng's dragon body was good, and Mu Yuanshan became hot, and many ministers who inquired about Emperor Sheng's situation saw that the palace people were not good at it, so they found him, stuffed some silver, and always got some hints.

"Master Mu, I don't know if the sky above is clear in the past two days?" Mu Yuanshan was in a hurry, a minister hurriedly walked a few steps, approached Mu Yuanshan's side, and while asking in a low voice, he folded his sleeve with Mu Yuanshan, and a valuable Donghai Pearl was sent over.

Mu Yuanshan's eyebrows bent, but his feet didn't stop: "When it is a cloudless sky, but there are unpredictable storms in the sky, look at this sky, I am afraid that there will be heavy rain, adults should be careful." ”

The minister got the answer he wanted, and showed gratitude: "I see, and Lord Raumu has told me." ”

"Your Excellency is gracious." Mu Yuanshan said with a smile.

Because it was a hidden matter, neither of them continued to say more, and the minister quickly stepped back, and then turned back.

Mu Yuanshan pulled the corners of his mouth, and when he was about to put away the Donghai Pearl in his hand, he was grabbed by the wrist.

He turned his head and saw that it was Qin Jingzong, the general of the protector of the country. "It turned out to be the general who protected the country, I don't know what happened to General Qin?"

"As a saint, don't you think it's inappropriate to actually accept bribes?" Qin Jingzong gritted his teeth and said very tactfully, originally according to his temperament, he found such a dirty thing, it should be scolded, but at this time, the atmosphere in the court was weird, and his lady Jiang Yuyuan said that he was not good at fighting with people, so he asked him to leave the right and wrong place early every time, so as not to provoke a fishy smell, and not to make enemies with others.

However, early this morning, before he went out, she suddenly stopped herself and said that she wanted to have a good relationship with this Mu Yuanshan, and the result was ...... I don't know if the relationship is good or not, but I bumped into him accepting bribes, but it was clear that Emperor Sheng was healthy.

Mu Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and said secretly: Inappropriate? As a living note, he doesn't follow Emperor Sheng, and he runs before and after the fold, which is not suitable in the first place, and this one is missing?

"General Qin laughed, this East China Sea Pearl was originally someone Mu's plaything, it was borrowed by Lord Cao a few days ago, and it was returned today."

"Nonsense." Qin Jingzong looked at Mu Yuanshan with round eyes, not understanding how he could talk nonsense with his eyes so open.

"Does someone Mu have any nonsense, General Qin can go to Lord Cao and ask what is going on, to see if this East China Sea Pearl was borrowed by him." Mu Yuanshan replied with a smile.

Qin Jingzong's face turned red: "If I ask, he will definitely not tell the truth, we may have colluded a long time ago, I can't ask anything." ”

As soon as Mu Yuanshan heard this, his heart was happy, and he secretly said that although Qin Jingzong was upright, he was also a military general who played a pivotal role in the court and had been in the dark for many years, and he didn't completely understand some private things.

But it's a pity, if it was his lady in front of him today, he might be able to say something that he couldn't refute, and he was really not afraid of this Qin Jingzong, who only knew how to march and fight.

So, Mu Yuanshan cleared his throat: "General Qin, how can you believe that this East China Sea Pearl is my Mu someone, could it be that you want to be like the unreasonable women and children in the market, let Mu someone call it, if it is silent, it is not my Mu someone's thing?" ”

"I didn't say that." Qin Jingzong said immediately.

Mu Yuanshan raised his eyebrows: "Then what does it mean to dare to ask General Qin?" ”

"I ......" Qin Jingzong choked for a while, he was not good at verbal disputes, and he would be overstretched when he met some people who were good at speaking, not to mention Mu Yuanshan's powerful tongue.

Just when a thin cold sweat broke out on Qin Jingzong's anxious forehead, and Mu Yuanshan looked at him with a smile and an expression that was not in a hurry, Huo Mingzhao slapped the two of them on the shoulder, and broke the silence between the two with a smile, which could be regarded as a round. "What are you whispering about, two adults?"

"I didn't ...... No. ”

"I didn't say anything, but General Qin suddenly rose up and discussed today's weather with the lower officials, and the lower officials thought that today should be cloudless and thousands of miles, but there are unforeseen storms in the sky, look at this sky, I am afraid that there will be torrential rain, so that General Qin beware of being drenched in the torrential rain, but General Qin feels that the subordinates are too worried." Mu Yuanshan said with a smile.

Qin Jingzong's eyes widened and he looked at Mu Yuanshan with a look of disbelief, after all, he really didn't expect Mu Yuanshan to repeat what he had just said to Master Cao, and he took it for granted.

Huo Mingzhao was actually there for a long time, he was not completely unaware of the dispute between Mu Yuanshan and Qin Jingzong, seeing Mu Yuanshan's serious nonsense, not only was he not as annoyed as Qin Jingzong, but he felt very interesting.

In fact, judging from the investigation, Mu Yuanshan was not a greedy person for money, but a nerd out of ten, far less sleek than he is now, otherwise he would not have been demoted to that kind of poor countryside as the champion of Sanyuan and the first, and even so poor that even his youngest daughter was cold, and he couldn't afford to pay for medicine.

Perhaps, it was because of Mu Chonglan's stupid burning that Mu Yuanshan became so wealthy, thinking about it this way, Huo Mingzhao saw Mu Yuanshan being so greedy for money at this time, so he not only didn't feel that he was hateful, but had a faint pity.

Think about it, what a good seedling of a clean official was actually forced to be like this, but fortunately, although he was greedy, he was still a good official who could do practical things, far better than those so-called clean officials who thought they were very honest but had no merits, and there was nothing wrong with being greedy, at least there would be nothing to do and hit the pillar or something, that was really a headache.
