Looking at Mu Nan, who was standing in the small courtyard and wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, although he didn't understand what he was wiping, Li Mengzhou's mood was a little dull, and when the situation was completely unfavorable to him, Rao was in a state of mind that he thought was very firm, and it was difficult to continue to remain calm.

This is not a kind of fear, but it is also inevitable that there is a feeling of panic, he tried his best to keep his mood calm, looked at Mu Nan and said: "You are ordered by Your Majesty and Xu Sitou, that is your business, but you must always give enough reasons, I am a disciple of the inner courtyard of the palace, if you can't convince me, I have the right to refuse." ”

Mu Nan smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao Li seems to have made a mistake, I have already said it, this time is different from the last time, you have no right to refuse, unless you want to fight against Your Majesty." ”

Acting against His Majesty the Emperor, except for a few people, it is an act of death, even Xue Wangwei can't blatantly not give His Majesty the Emperor face.

"Last night, Lu Changge died in the Xuanzheng Division prison, and at the same time, a prisoner in the next cell also died, I guess that the prisoner must have witnessed the whole process, or accidentally glimpsed it, and was killed by the murderer. ”

"The prisoner's head was completely blasted off by a strong breath, this is the murderer's deliberate purpose, the purpose is to cover up the murder weapon, to be able to kill people in the Xuanzheng Division prison, and keep a cool head, this murderer is definitely not human. ”

"I can't think of anyone who would risk sneaking into the prison of the Xuanzheng Department to kill Lu Changge, I can only reasonably speculate that you, as a testimony that Lu Changge killed Zhu Shilang, are quite suspicious. ”

Mu Nan smiled and said: "As long as there is a trace of suspicion, I have a reason to invite Mr. Xiao Li to have a cup of tea in the Xuanzheng Division, this is a matter approved by His Majesty, Mr. Xiao Li can only cooperate with the investigation, if you refuse, it is contempt for the imperial power, you should know what the consequences are." And if you refuse, does it also mean that you are a thief? Then I should use strong means to arrest Mr. Xiao Li. ”

With His Majesty the Emperor behind him, and just cooperating with the investigation, Li Mengzhou really has no way to refuse, if he wants to resist, even if there are no three hundred taels of silver here, the situation will get worse.

Originally, Li Mengzhou was ready to go to war directly with Xuan Zhengsi, but in the current situation, once he really did that, he would not just fight against Xuan Zhengsi, but ignore the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, even if he left the palace sword courtyard, he would not be able to protect him.

Mu Nan continued: "In addition to suspecting that Mr. Xiao Li killed Lu Changge in the prison of the Xuanzheng Division, the case of Zhang Chong, a general of the military department, who was stopped and killed on the street a few years ago, seems to have something to do with Mr. Xiao Li. Although Wenrou Township is a very special place in the capital, it is also easy for us to meet the girl and figure out what happened at that time. ”

Li Mengzhou's expression became a little gloomy, he wouldn't blame Miss Wu'er, after all, in the face of a behemoth like Xuan Zhengsi, and acting in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor, what could Miss Wu'er do as an ordinary person?

After all, there is no way to attribute the murder of Taijing and Yue Shiting to Li Mengzhou, but just the suspicion of killing Lu Changge and the conclusive evidence of intercepting and killing the military generals on the street are enough to make Li Mengzhou overstretched and unable to turn over.

......

In the gentle township on the shore of Yueming Lake, the girls sat around, whispering with some worries on their faces, glancing at the pale girl from time to time, and couldn't help but comfort: "How can we compete with Xuan Zhengsi, this is also something that can't be helped, I believe Li Mengzhou won't blame you." ”

The girl choked up and said: "Li Mengzhou killed that Zhang Chong in order to save me, and I was forced to betray him because of the situation, if he suffers any harm because of this, I will not be able to forgive myself in my life." ”

"It's not your fault. ”

On the stairs on the second floor, everyone Yu slowly walked down, looked at the girl, and said: "The Xuanzheng Division is resolute in handling the case, and when they have scruples, they may be polite, but since it is in the order of His Majesty, they have no scruples, even if you don't say it, they will have 10,000 ways to make you tell the truth, rather than suffering from those flesh and skin, the final outcome will not change, it is better to tell it directly." ”

Yu everyone looks at the problem very objectively and rationally, if the girl denies it, the Xuanzheng Division will inevitably use extraordinary means, and if this matter reaches Li Mengzhou's ears, he will never sit idly by, just like when he heard that the girl was persecuted by Zhang Chong, he directly raised a knife to kill Zhang Chong, and now, Li Mengzhou's choice will not change much.

And the situation created in the end is not different from the girl telling the truth directly, the only thing that can be avoided is that the girl will not suffer anything.

This is already the best result.

The girl was also very worried about Li Mengzhou's safety in her self-blame, she looked at everyone Yu and said: "That Mu Nan squire is said to be a villain in the Xuanzheng Division, although he is a court official, but he is more evil than those prisoners, if he wants to target Li Mengzhou, how should Li Mengzhou deal with it?"

Mu Nan's name of the villain is not loud in the capital, but it is extremely loud in the mountain monks, basically the cultivators commit crimes, most of them are from the mountains, the disciples of the mountain gate have rules, and they boast of being superior, the probability of committing crimes is very small, Mu Nan often arrests the mountain monks who commit crimes, and his methods are cruel, so he also has the name of 'vicious people'.

Mu Nan's face is still relatively elegant, but his style of acting is diametrically opposite, which impresses those mountain monks and makes them frightened.

Xu Hexian's reputation in the capital is known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, and it is because of this that he can sit in the position of the head of the Xuanzheng Division, but externally, Mu Nan's reputation for cruelty is even better than Xu Hexian.

"Li Mengzhou is a disciple of the Palace Sword Academy, a cultivator with a noble status, and they are the only ones who can save Li Mengzhou. ”

The girl remembered what Jiang Zihua had told her to inform him if there was danger, so she hurriedly ran to the second floor.

The gentle township in the early morning was very quiet, but the shore of Yueming Lake was already lively, and everyone Yu stood in front of the window, frowning deeply, "Mengzhou, this bastard boy, really doesn't have a peaceful day, I hope that after this lesson, I can grow." ”

When Li Mengzhou wanted to kill Zhang Chong, everyone Yu dissuaded him, but in fact, according to Li Mengzhou's identity as a disciple of the inner courtyard of the palace, just killing a military general was not a big deal.

Zhang Chong is only working in the capital, not a soldier guarding the frontier, although he also serves in the military department, but Zhang Chong is not a soldier, that is, because of the promotion of a certain big man, he is in an idle position in the military department, which cannot be compared with the soldiers who really go into battle to kill the enemy.

But a lot of things have happened in the capital recently, and ordinary people may not have a way to know, but everyone in Yu is very clear, and the Xuanzheng Division is targeting Li Mengzhou, not just because of Zhang Chong.

Although everyone Yu was also worried about Li Mengzhou's safety, they thought that he was a disciple of the inner courtyard of the palace after all, and it was impossible for him to sit idly by, rather than find a way to interfere, it was better to wait and see what happened.

......

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

The rich aroma of tea was permeating, His Majesty the Emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at Jiang Tingyu, who was sitting opposite, and said: "When Li Mengzhou killed Zhang Chong, he also had Qingyi's assistance, in a sense, Zhang Chong's death was jointly committed by Li Mengzhou and the Heavenly Council. ”

"There is a day when the Cardinal Council has suppressed this matter, resulting in the Xuan Zheng Division not taking any action. But how can Lu Changge's death in the prison of Xuanzheng Division also have something to do with Li Mengzhou?"

Jiang Tingyu was making tea very seriously, looking at his nose and nose, and said with his nose and heart: "In fact, it is just a farce for children, because Li Mengzhou crossed the border to defeat Lu Changge on the fifth floor, which made Lu Changge feel that he was very faceless, so he waited for an opportunity to take revenge and come back." ”

The peeping outside Chaosi Lane made Li Mengzhou aware of it, he felt the killing intent, and wanted to solve this matter, but he mistakenly mistook the peeping eyes outside Chaosi Lane for Zhu Zaitian, so he was seen by Lu Changge in the process of assassinating Zhu Zaitian, and it gradually evolved to the current situation. ”

Qingyi knew what happened to this matter, and Jiang Tingyu would naturally know that this incident was indeed just a farce caused by the unwillingness of young people, which was not a big deal, but the fact that things turned out like this in the end also surprised Jiang Tingyu.

Li Mengzhou's brain turned very fast, and before Lu Changge could make a difference, he attributed Zhu Zaitian's death to Lu Changge, which led to the premature intervention of the Xuan Zheng Division, and Lu Changge was imprisoned in the Xuan Zheng Division, but he would definitely not give up if he didn't fall off the mountain, there must be an explanation. ”

"It's understandable that Li Mengzhou wants to solve Lu Changge as soon as possible, but he is too young after all, and many things are not as simple as he thinks, Xu Hexian can be used by him, not because he is smart enough, but because Xu Hexian did not find the best time, once there is a mistake in some places, Xu Hexian's counterattack will begin. ”

Just as Jiang Tingyu can know this, but there is no way to come up with evidence that Li Mengzhou did this, in the case of just a word and no evidence, he will be subject to a lot of restrictions, and Xu Hexian will be beaten badly by Xu Hexian whenever he finds a breakthrough, because all his actions seem to be very thorough, but in fact, they are full of loopholes.

Xu Hexian was silent at first, just because those loopholes lacked sufficient evidence, so he could only let them develop, and now, when the opportunity arises, Xu Hexian has no reason to continue to remain silent.

His Majesty the Emperor said with some melancholy: "There have been too many things in the capital recently, and the matter of the monks outside the mountain has just been resolved, and these little guys are going to make trouble again. ”

"Xu Hexian still has his own bottom line after all, and I will turn a blind eye to the things he did secretly, and now he asks for the arrest of Li Mengzhou, and Li Mengzhou is also the first to commit the crime, I can only agree, I hope that Dean Xue will not be angry because of this, and then make trouble in the capital. ”

Jiang Tingyu said: "Lu Changge is a true disciple who does not fall from the mountain, and now he has been killed by the disciples of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, Lu Zhonghui may not give up, this farce seems to be made by the younger generation, but in the end, the key is all on Dean Xue and the Lord of Lu Mountain, Your Majesty just needs to wait and see what happens, as long as they don't make a big deal about it, the court doesn't need to intervene." ”

His Majesty the Emperor was noncommittal, he leaned back, leaned back in the chair, and said with two fingers between his eyebrows, "Feiyu is in the territory of Beiyan, there is no way to get more information, I, Jiang Guoshen, will stay in the territory of Beiyan for a long time, once those people are detected, I am afraid that there will be unnecessary incidents, if Han Yi's whereabouts cannot be found again, I will let him come back." ”

Jiang Tingyu said: "Beiyan is the realm of the Dao Palace, there are countless strong cultivators there, although the Flying Feather Divine General has stepped into the Five Realms, but once it is detected by the big things of the Dao Palace, it can only be slaughtered, since Han Yi's whereabouts cannot be found, it means that Han Yi may no longer be in Beiyan, and it is no longer necessary to continue to stay there for secret investigation." ”

"I will instruct the Heavenly Council's spies in Beiyan to continue the investigation, it will be dangerous for the Flying Feather God to continue to stay there, and the way back should be sooner rather than later. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said: "Feiyu's way back to China needs to be answered by the mad god who is guarding the border of Jiang Yan, and in order to avoid accidents, the mad god will be allowed to transfer troops into the country." ”

Although Jiang Guo is not willing to start a war with Beiyan, when necessary, the god general guarding the border will also draw his sword as soon as possible, and the reluctance to fight does not mean that he is cowardly, Jiang Guo's iron cavalry is always ready to charge up and crush the enemy.

......

Chaosi Lane.

Li Mengzhou sat on a rattan chair and looked at the Xuanzheng priests standing in his small courtyard, and then looked at the gold-lettered jade plate in Mu Nan's hand.

Although for cultivators, this golden-shaped jade plate does not have such a great deterrent power, but the gold-lettered jade plaque represents His Majesty the Emperor also has a great power of checks and balances on cultivators, unless it is a powerful cultivator like Xue Wuwei, ordinary Four Realms sects must obey orders when they see the gold-lettered jade card.

Only the big people at the level of the sect master of the Five Realms Sect can talk to His Majesty the Emperor at the same level, but they only have the right to refuse, and they must also obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor in ordinary matters.

Mu Nan held the gold-lettered jade card, which was a killer feature, Li Mengzhou was just a disciple of the inner courtyard of the palace, but he didn't have so much energy to dare to ignore the gold-lettered jade card.

But just like that, Mu Nan was invited to Xuanzheng Division for tea, Li Mengzhou was unwilling.

"Zhang Chong's matter aside, what evidence do you have if you suspect that I killed Lu Changge?"

Xie Chunfeng once waited outside the small courtyard of Chaosi Lane, which cannot be used as a proof of Li Mengzhou's alibi, and the lie of running out to practice has been exposed by Xie Chunfeng, if you want to take Xie Chunfeng as proof of your alibi again, once Xie Chunfeng appears, it will be really embarrassing.

Lu Changge died in the prison of Xuanzheng Division, and Li Mengzhou happened to be not in Chaosi Lane at that time, Xie Chunfeng could think of what was going on even if he was an idiot.

Mu Nan smiled and said: "It is precisely because there is no evidence, just suspicion, that I want to ask Mr. Xiao Li to go to the Xuanzheng Division to cooperate with the investigation, I have already made it clear enough, why did Mr. Xiao Li find some insignificant excuses, could it be to delay time?"

Li Mengzhou really wanted to stall for time.

Now is not the time to be rash, especially at the moment of the golden jade plate, if he really draws his sword and faces each other, I am afraid that the consequences will not be bearable by him, this is not because he has scruples or fears, but it is not worth it.

The purpose of his delay was to wait for someone from the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace or the Heavenly Council to appear, or someone from the Mountain Gate who did not fall into the mountain gate, and he wanted to bring this grievance back to the cultivation world, so the Xuan Zheng Division would not be qualified to intervene again.

As for the killing of Zhang Chong, the general of the military department, it is actually not a big deal, as a disciple of Li Mengzhou's inner courtyard of the palace, Zhang Chong's status in the court can really only be regarded as an ant-like existence, and if the attitude of the palace sword courtyard is resolute enough, Zhang Chong can only die in vain, and the hand of Xuanzheng Division cannot reach in, this matter will be relatively simple.

Mu Nan could probably guess Li Mengzhou's thoughts, he clenched the long sword in his hand, and said: "I have been polite enough to Mr. Xiao Li, but it seems that Mr. Xiao Li doesn't take me very seriously, I sincerely want to invite Mr. Xiao Li to drink tea in the Xuanzheng Division, so don't delay more time, otherwise it will no longer be an invitation." ”

Gu Shiyan stood at the door of the hall, she leaned against the door frame slightly, and her right hand holding the sword was also slightly tightened, she was not from Jiang Guoren, and naturally she didn't have to abide by the rules of Jiang Guoren, but she directly started with the people of Xuanzheng Division, and it was in front of the golden jade plate, after all, it was a very troublesome thing, even if Emperor Jiang Guo would not blame, she was afraid that she would not be able to continue to stay in the capital.

But sometimes something doesn't happen if you don't want to, and Gu Shiyan is ready.

Li Mengzhou was silent.

Just as he was about to get up from the rattan chair, footsteps sounded outside the small courtyard, and a young disciple with a green shirt crossed the threshold, led by the brothers Xie Chunfeng and Xie Ning.

The one who does not fall from the mountain gate has arrived.

Although in the early hours of the morning, Xie Chunfeng had already discussed with Li Mengzhou to rescue Lu Changge from the Xuanzheng Division prison, but the plan could not catch up with the change after all, and the assassination of Lu Changge in the Xuanzheng Division prison reached Xie Chunfeng's ears, which shocked him very much, even if he suspected that Li Mengzhou was an inevitable thing at the first time, he was still a little incredulous.

Seeing Li Mengzhou's face again at this moment, Xie Chunfeng's tone was quite angry, "You have gone too far, I should have thought that you were not in Chaosi Lane last night, you must have done something, but I didn't expect that you would go to the Xuanzheng Division prison to assassinate Lu Changge, in that case, you also agreed to my proposal, I have to say that your calm appearance after killing people is very terrifying." ”

In his thoughts, Li Mengzhou is just a young man, and he has never really regarded Li Mengzhou as a peer or even a dangerous figure with him, but after this incident, he has to admit that Li Mengzhou, a young man, is really ruthless.
