Chapter Seventy-Three: Cross-examination

After solving the two people, Mu Yan hid the dagger in his cuff with his backhand. *///*

Walking lightly to the door of Liu Shousi's room, Mu Yan listened to the movement in the room with cold eyes, and then knocked lightly on the door bolt.

There was no sound in the room, which made Mu Yan a little concerned. Thinking of the urgency of time, Mu Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and knock on the door again. Listening to the deathly silence in the house, Mu Yan didn't think much else, and quickly broke down the door. And the scene in front of him made Mu Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

In the candlelit room, Liu Shousi was lying face down on the ground. Mu Yan glanced at the scene in the room, and his restless heart gradually calmed down. Thinking about it, Liu Shousi must have inhaled ** incense and felt uncomfortable, so he got up and lit the lamp and wanted to drink some water or something. But before he could react otherwise, he fell to the ground.

The ** fragrance of cold smoke is colorless and odorless, but the medicinal effect is very strong. And this Liu Shousi originally had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to call the guards outside the door easily. Unexpectedly, he pushed himself into the pit alive.

Mu Yan sneered and walked into the room and helped Liu Shousi, who had fainted, to his feet. In order to prevent accidents, Mu Yan lit Liu Shousi's faint point again, extinguished the candle, and then quickly left the room with him.

handed over Liu Shousi to Liu Yiyi and Leng Yan'er, Mu Yan's eyes flashed and said, "You two go back first, I still have something to deal with." Ziluo, you go to the fourth master and escort the two of them back to the palace together. When you meet at the Wind Dance, remember to ensure his safety. ”

"Don't worry." Leng Yan'er replied to Mu Yan concisely and quickly, and then quickly left the scene in accordance with Mu Yan's will.

Mu Yan, who was left alone, also hid the two corpses as quickly as possible, and then found a hiding place for himself, staring intently at Liu Shousi's door. As expected, less than a quarter of an hour later, Han Shoulin appeared in Mu Yan's sight.

Watching Han Shoulin's strange movements, he looked around and knocked on Liu Shousi's door. After knocking for a long time and no one responded, Han Shoulin stomped his feet heavily, scolded silently, turned around with anger on his face, and walked towards the exit of the Taiwei Mansion. Mu Yan seriously thought about the reason why Han Shoulin appeared here in the middle of the night, and watched him leave in a confused mind.

The operation went unexpectedly smoothly, but it made Mu Yan a little uneasy. Finding Qi Heichu, Qi Fengyuan and Lu Yu'er, Mu Yan didn't ask anything more and remained silent. It wasn't until he returned to the palace and sat in a familiar room that Mu Yan's tense nerves were finally relaxed.

Glancing coldly at the unconscious Liu Shousi, Mu Yan frowned. Sitting in the chair, Mu Yan turned his gaze to Qi Heichu's body and asked, "Yun Qingshan, is there any movement?" ”

"No, it doesn't seem to be in the house. I wandered around the neighborhood for a long time, but I didn't see anyone other than the patrol guards. ”

"I didn't find anything outside the Captain's Mansion." The fourth master continued Qi Heichu's words, which made Mu Yan's brows lock a little deeper.

Could it be that she guessed wrong? What is Yun Qingshan's real purpose in looking for Liu Shousi? After staying in Taiwei's Mansion for two days and disappearing, where did Yun Qingshan go? Han Shoulin came to Taiwei's Mansion tonight, what was the reason?

Suppressing all kinds of doubts in his heart, Mu Yan looked at Feng Ruowu and asked softly, "Hasn't he been here to Xia Yifeng?" ”

"I came in the evening, asked you where you were, and told me to go to the study and inform him when you returned. I guess he's still there to deal with things. Xia Yifeng in advance, Feng Ruowu pursed her lips helplessly, secretly feeling helpless for Xia Yifeng.

The emperor's seat, although it is good-looking, is not so easy to sit on......

Mu Yan nodded and did not continue to discuss the topic of Xia Yifeng. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yiruo, who had not made a sound, and said, "Yiruo, it's up to you." ”

"Me?" Zhou Yiruo looked at Mu Yan with wide eyes and asked suspiciously.

"That's right, the rest of the time is up to you. Do we need to leave? Mu Yan smiled slightly and said, "If you are nervous, we can also go out first and wait for your news." ”

"No need!"

Mu Yan's words made Zhou Yiruo a little unconvinced, and quickly rejected Mu Yan's proposal, Zhou Yiruo got up and walked in front of Liu Shousi, and after Liu Yiyi untied the faint hole on Liu Shousi's body, and helped Liu Shousi to a chair and sat down, Zhou Yiruo took a deep breath with a little nervousness.

Zhou Yiruo, who had never moved in front of so many people, gently patted his chest. Then vigorously woke Liu Shousi up, and the moment Liu Shousi opened his eyes, before Liu Shousi had any other reaction, Zhou Yiruo quickly took the sachet that had been prepared in his hand to Liu Shousi's nose, and at the same time made a complex gesture that Mu Yan and others couldn't understand.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Yiruo was making some incomprehensible movements, and after muttering some words in his mouth, Liu Shousi sat on the chair honestly like that, his expression was dull and motionless. This made Mu Yan and Feng Ruowu couldn't help but be surprised, because the two of them who had seen hypnotism as early as modern times, and they had always felt that this method of Zhu Youshu should be different from hypnosis. But today, when I saw it, it opened the eyes of the two of them and completely subverted their previous ideas! And Zhou Yiruo's back and forth movements were completed in no more than five minutes......

"If you have any questions, just ask." Zhou Yiruo turned his head to look at Mu Yan and said softly, "Be quiet." ”

His thoughts were disrupted by Zhou Yiruo, Mu Yan nodded, and instead of walking in front of Liu Shousi, he sat in place and asked in a low voice, "What is the reason and purpose for Han Shoulin to come to the Taiwei Mansion tonight?" ”

After Mu Yan's question, there was a moment of silence in the room. And soon, Liu Shousi broke the silence with a voice.

The gaze is straight ahead, and there is no focus. Liu Shousi opened his mouth with a stiff expression and answered Mu Yan's question: "He came to me to discuss the matter of letting the emperor establish Han Bingning as the queen." ”

Really......

Mu Yan smiled coldly and continued to ask, "When did you collude together?" Did you find him first, or did he come to you? ”

"After Han Shoulin returned to China, I sent someone to contact him. I promised him that as long as he proposed to the emperor with me and listened to my instructions, I would definitely make his granddaughter the queen and better than that Muyan. ”

Liu Shousi's answer made everyone in the room hold their breath and concentrate. Listening to Mu Yan's faint question, "Then why did Yun Qingshan look for you?" After that, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Liu Shousi. But there was no expected answer, and Liu Shousi just sat there in silence after hearing this question, without saying a word.

"It seems that the other party has been prepared." Zhou Yiruo sighed faintly and explained the reason. "I've been preempted by someone, I need time to crack it."

"How long will it take?" Mu Yan held his cheek with one hand, looked at Zhou Yiruo and asked.

"Not sure yet." Zhou Yiruo replied to Mu Yan honestly, and then concentrated on cracking Liu Shousi's Zhu Youshu.

Time passed minute by minute, Zhou Yiruo was busy with concentration, and before he knew it, sweat was already flowing from the corners of his forehead. And Mu Yan and the others didn't urge her, nor did they make any noise to disturb this serious girl. just waited quietly, and it wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Zhou Yiruo looked back at Mu Yan with a smile on his face, and the silence came to an end.

Mu Yan repeated the question just now in a low voice, listening to Liu Shousi's answer.

"Yun Qingshan asked me to help her, she wanted to assassinate the emperor."

"You promised?" Mu Yan continued to ask.

"Nope."

Liu Shousi's answer made Mu Yan fall into deep contemplation. If Yun Qingshan asked Liu Shousi and he didn't agree to cooperate, then why did Yun Qingshan stay in Taiwei Mansion for two days? Liu Shousi's current sanity is controlled by Zhou Yiruo, and Mu Yan has no objection to Zhou Yiruo's strength. So after thinking about it, there is only one reason that Mu Yan can think of. That is, Liu Shousi has been blessed by Yun Qingshan since he first saw Yun Qingshan. Therefore, during this period of time, all the conversations and transactions between him and Yun Qingshan were not his own intentions, so they were all not remembered in his mind. So since this is the case, can he still remember which ministers of the DPRK and China he has wooed to make it difficult for Xia Yifeng together?

Mu Yan bit her lower lip and thought about it seriously. Looking at Liu Shousi's stiff gaze, Mu Yan pursed his lips and asked, "Which ministers have you contacted to help Han Bingning?" In addition to Han Shoulin, who else has joined this matter? ”

Mu Yan asked tentatively, and then listened to Liu Shousi say the names of some people slowly, and smiled slightly.
