Chapter 218: Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight

"This matter has nothing to do with my family, it's because I can't get used to seeing you as a prince doing evil, so I came to this hall with the intention of punishing evil and promoting good!"

"Don't reprimand my family, my family is loyal to you, has been an official for many years, and has never done a single evil thing!"

"Everything is done by me, I do things by myself, and no one instructs me!"

When Chen Mu saw the maid say this, he sneered again, raised his hand, and asked the maid to take her down.

Disturbed by this assassination, the palace banquet could not go on.

Chen Mu and Meng Qing sat at the palace banquet for a while, then found an excuse and left in a hurry. As soon as he left the hall, the gloomy color on Chen Mu's face suddenly changed.

His eyes were relaxed, and he even hummed a little song in a good mood.

Meng Qing glanced in Chen Mu's direction with some concern, and Chen Mu noticed Meng Qing's gaze and said in a low voice.

"Today was supposed to be your birthday, but because of dealing with the Zhao family, the Shang family and the Wu family, it disrupted your palace banquet, which is really not good for me."

"I'll accompany you back to your hall and celebrate your birthday alone."

Meng Qing was not interested in the palace banquet, but now when she heard Chen Mu say this, she immediately nodded eagerly in response.

Chen Mu accompanied Meng Qing back to the main hall, and talked and laughed with Meng Qing for a while, and after coaxing people, Chen Mu returned to the study.

There were already subordinates waiting in the study, Chen Mu glanced at his entourage, and immediately someone stepped forward to speak.

"Just after the palace banquet ended, the Wu family immediately sent someone to the Shang family, and I don't know what they were planning in secret."

"We have already sent the evidence you asked us to prepare to the Zhao family, and it won't be long before the Zhao family will notice that something is wrong and aim the finger at the Wu family and the monk's family, and when that time comes, ......"

When that happens, you just have to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Chen Mu hooked his lips and chuckled, and nodded with satisfaction.

What happened this time was just arranged by him, and the maid was sent by him to trap her, and it seemed that she was instructed by the Zhao family to come to this hall to assassinate him.

But in fact, he prepared evidence behind his back, and pushed the incident onto the Wu family.

He didn't let people get that evidence to him directly, and he didn't plan to use this "evidence" to directly solve the Wu family in the future.

Instead, they sent the evidence to the Zhao family.

Because of the previous incident of uniting the people of the Western Kingdom, it was the Wu family who launched a side branch to take the blame, so the Zhao family and the monk family secretly gave the Wu family a lot of benefits in order to thank the Wu family.

If the Zhao family knew the facts this time, it was the Wu family who was behind the scenes, and they intended to pull their Zhao family into the water......

I don't know how the Wu family will feel.

If you don't need him to do anything when you want to come, someone will tell him what the Wu family has done in the past few years to be a traitor.

will even prepare evidence in advance, as for the Shang family......

It only needs to muddy the waters, so that the Wu family will suspect the Zhao family and introduce the spearhead to the Shang family.

made the Wu family think that the Shang family was planning to compete with the snipe and the mussels, and the fisherman would benefit.

When that time comes, the three families are suspicious, each splashing dirty water, and it can be said that it will be easy to eradicate the three families.

It's just that a maid was recruited and people arranged such a fake assassination in the main hall.

After planning and arranging step by step, things were really as Chen Mu expected.

When the Zhao family received the evidence, they mistakenly thought that the Wu family had a grudge and sent someone to splash this dirty water on the Zhao family.

The Zhao family immediately planned to bite back.

After all, the Wu family came forward to confess the crime, and it was the Wu family themselves who proposed it, and their Zhao family didn't say anything!

Because of a moment of anger, he wanted to change the old man of the Zhao family out of the prison.

The Zhao family gritted their teeth and simply told Chen Mu what the Wu family had done in recent years.

At the same time, they also collected evidence and asked people to secretly hand it over to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu got the evidence, nodded with satisfaction, and immediately asked people to take the evidence and go to the Wu family, and arrested all the people in the Wu family.

As for the Shang family.

The Shang family originally thought that they could avoid escape, and the two families were fighting openly and secretly, and they only needed to extract themselves from this incident.

As a result, they didn't expect it, and they didn't know that the Wu family and the Zhao family were mad and turned into mad dogs to bite them.

I still don't want to see their family dominate and avoid this punishment.

The Zhao family and the Wu family actually secretly collected evidence of the evil things done by the Shang family and handed it over to Chen Mu together.

In this way, the three major families were wiped out.

The people of the families who have been implicated in the three major families have also fallen one after another, and this time the matter can be regarded as completely resolved.

Chen Mu did not waste the strength of a single soldier, and only watched this open and secret battle.

After putting the people of the three families in prison together, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

"This time the matter is over, but as far as I know, there seems to be movement among the people again."

"There are still people clamoring that female officials are not as good as male officials in politics."

"And the reason why there is such a rumor among the people this time is because the female officials you sent to the disaster relief by Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince have done something wrong."

As soon as Chen Mu put away the recital in his hand, he suddenly heard his entourage say this.

He was stunned and frowned.

Doing something wrong?

What's going on here?

He motioned to the entourage and said directly, and when the entourage saw this, he informed Chen Mu of the news he had recently learned.

It turned out that after those female officials were sent by Chen Mu to Xiaojun for disaster relief, they calmed down the local victims and uprooted several local corrupt officials.

However, the matter of damming the river has not been resolved.

"It is said that the construction of the levee did not go smoothly, and the water in the river was rapid and slow, and a lot of silt was deposited under the river."

"When many people go to build a dam on the river, they get stuck in the mud and are carried away by the current."

"There are even people who have lost their lives because of this incident, if there are no people, it is just that the construction of the embankment is not so smooth, it will not cause resentment among the people, and the news will not reach the capital, but it is ......."

When Chen Mu heard his entourage report like this, he immediately understood.

A lot of silt has accumulated under the river......

He frowned, took out the map and looked at it carefully, as far as he knew, the river was fed from a high mountain.

On both sides of the hill are rocky beaches, and there shouldn't be so much silt.

Chen Mu's gaze moved slightly, and he suddenly realized something.

"Wait, I heard that this small county has not had frequent floods before, but it has been flooding frequently in the last fifteen years, is this the case every year?"

"In the past few years, it was fine, but in recent years, it has become more and more serious, and police officers have been sent to investigate, saying that it is the reason why the river is raised by silt."

Chen Mu heard this, nodded in response, and then realized something.
