In the inner courtyard of Ningzhou Mansion, Wang Mian, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, knelt in front of Luo Qingzhi and asked about his next move.

"County Lord, do you want your subordinates to check the situation of human and physical evidence first?"

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Go ahead, be careful, don't be noticed by them."

"The county lord doesn't believe the verdict of the state government?" Wang Mian asked.

"It's not that I don't believe it," Luo Qingzhi explained, "I went to the scene yesterday, Miss Mu is genuine, and the location of the incident is indeed strange, so I want to check it again."

"Your Majesty said, everything is up to the county lord to decide, what the county lord says, his subordinates will do." The crown spoke earnestly, and he looked like a loyal minister.

Luo Qingzhi asked, "I often enter the palace, but I don't often see you."

Wang Mian replied, "Your Majesty said that I have to be a pure minister of the county lord, and I can't let everyone know about my existence, so as not to let me be trapped."

"My pure minister? Your Majesty is really ......" Luo Qingzhi shook her head, thinking to herself, "What the hell is Your Majesty thinking......

Wang Mian asked cautiously, "Did I say the wrong thing?"

Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically, "Are you afraid that you will say the wrong thing?"

"Don't be afraid." Wang Mian replied, and continued, "Your Majesty said that the county lord is an excellent man and will not criticize his subordinates at will."

Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Isn't what you mean by this, if I criticize you, it will be Your Majesty's fault."

The crown bowed his head and said, "That's not what your subordinates meant."

"Don't care." Luo Qingzhi said gently, "Just kidding, you go to check the human and material evidence, I'll rest in the room for a while, if you have something, come to me."

"Yes."

The crown left with its front feet, and the wind came down from the south with its hind feet.

Luo Qingzhi looked at the position of only one palm on the beam, puzzled, and asked, "How did you do such a narrow position?"

Feng Zinan asked, "Need me to demonstrate?"

Luo Qingzhi raised her hand, "That's not necessary," she sat down, "Let's get down to business."

"Has the news come back to Jinling?"

Feng Zinan nodded, "It's been passed back this morning."

Luo Qingzhi said, "Wang Mian, do you know him?"

"Yes."

Luo Qingzhi just asked casually, but she didn't expect Feng Zinan to really know her, and she was still a little surprised, "How did you know."

"There was a fight."

"Fight?" Luo Qingzhi was even more puzzled, "When?"

"Peng Cheng." Feng Zinan said lightly.

Luo Qingzhi reacted quickly and asked, "He accompanied His Majesty back then?"

"Yes."

Knowing the result, Luo Qingzhi was a little curious and asked, "Did you win?"

「......」

Feng Zinan didn't answer, Luo Qingzhi smiled, as if there was a mocking tone, "You lost."

「...... Nope."

"Didn't win and didn't lose? So, you've been stopped." Luo Qingzhi said.

Feng Zinan nodded.

"Do you want to fight again?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

「......」

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Zinan nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, got it."

Luo Qingzhi said, "You stay in the room later, and I'll go to Mufu."

"Yes."

"If the crown comes to me, you will stand in the way for a while." Luo Qingzhi added.

Feng Zinan was a little panicked and asked, "How can I block it?"

Luo Qingzhi had already opened the window, one foot had stepped out, turned around, and said, "Fight."

After she finished speaking, she left the room, leaving Feng Zinan alone in a daze.

Although the state government had made a conclusion about last night's incident, the wooden mansion was still sealed by the state capital's guards, and Luo Qingzhi went around to the back door and climbed through a low wall to enter.

The outside of the wooden house is strictly guarded

, but the inner courtyard is unexpectedly loose, and there is not even a daily patrol. Luo Qingzhi was a little strange, hid her figure, and came to the courtyard of Old General Mu.

Unlike the laxity of the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was obviously calm was surrounded by people at this time.

Luo Qingzhi especially remembered that the terrain in the courtyard was not complicated, but there was no way to avoid so many people from entering the old general's room.

She was a little troubled, and she didn't know how to get in, so she could only stay in the corner first, waiting for the opportunity.

About a stick of incense, there was no entry or exit in the courtyard at all, she was a little troubled, looked up at the sky, thinking that it was almost noon, how could she go in to deliver food, she fumbled to find the kitchen.

"Can't you bring food to the old general today?"

"The eldest young master has explained, the general is being treated, and he can't eat."

"What kind of treatment, don't let people eat."

"Shhhh

Luo Qingzhi listened to their conversation under the window, disguised as a servant to deliver food, and the road was also broken.

"Is the sea bass soup that the eldest lady wanted?" A young maid asked.

"Cotton Girl, it's all right."

Luo Qingzhi thought of the girl from the Mu family she saw last night, and thought about how she was also a temperamental, maybe she could give it a try.

With an idea, she followed behind Cotton Cotton, and around the corner, put a dagger against her waist, and said, "Be quiet, I won't hurt you."

Hongmian shook his head violently, and Luo Qingzhi whispered, "Lead the way, I'm going to see your girl."

"Will you hurt the girl?" Kapok asked.

Luo Qingzhi thought that this girl was loyal, promised, and said, "I just want to ask something and won't hurt her."

Kapok nodded, calming down.

When entering the courtyard, there were guards around, Luo Qingzhi slightly let go of the dagger, and Hongmian felt Luo Qingzhi's relaxation, and immediately shouted, "Someone, someone, there are bandits."

Luo Qingzhi was also calm, and said, "I am the doctor who came to treat your girl."

Cotton Tree roared, "No, no."

The guards had already surrounded Luo Qingzhi, and the conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

"Stop!" Mu Wanning shouted.

Mu Wanning walked out and said, "Don't be rude to Gongzi Jiang."

"Girl." Kapok said.

The guards retreated, and Mu Wanning said, "You are people in my courtyard, you must know what to say and what not to say."

"Yes."

Mu Wanning bowed slightly to Luo Qingzhi, "Childe, please come here."

Luo Qingzhi followed Mu Wanning into the room.

Mu Wanning sent away the red cotton.

Cotton Wool frowned and said, "Girl, he just kidnapped me to come in."

"Go down." Mu Wanning said.

Cotton Tree snorted coldly and exited the room.

There were only Luo Qingzhi and the two of them in the room, and Mu Wanning bowed, "I've seen Lord Anning."

Luo Qingzhi asked, "Do you know me?"

Mu Wanning said softly, "Of course I know."

"Do you have something to tell me?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Mu Wanning knelt down with a thud and said, "Ask the county lord to be the master of my husband."

Luo Qingzhi helped her up and said, "You just have to say it, you don't have to do this."

Mu Wanning began to sobb silently, "County Lord, my husband's death is unjust, please be sure to punish the murderer severely."

"Do you know who the murderer is?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Mu Wanning nodded, but there was a hint of hesitation, "County Lord, I want to know, how will the sentence be imposed?"

Luo Qingzhi said, "According to the laws of our dynasty, those who intentionally kill people will be exiled at least and beheaded at worst."

「......」

Hearing Luo Qingzhi's answer, Mu Wanning's firmness obviously changed.

Luo Qingzhi didn't persecute either, and said lightly:

"If the girl is still hesitant, think again."

Mu Wanning shook her head, "It's only right to kill people to pay for their lives."

"It's the second young master of the Mu family, Mu Qi."

Although seeing Mu Wanning's hesitation, Luo Qingzhi had a guess in her heart, but when she heard it with her own ears, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Is there a witness?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Mu Wanning said, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Is there any physical evidence?"

Mu Wanning took out a letterhead from her waist and handed it to Luo Qingzhi.

It reads, "The feast is over, meet by the lotus pond - Mu Qi."

Luo Qingzhi folded it carefully, "I'll have someone check the handwriting."

Mu Wanning nodded and asked with a crying voice, "If, if I let the second brother turn himself in, will the sentence be reduced?"

"Yes."

Mu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will try my best to persuade the second brother."

After chatting about Mu Wanning, Luo Qingzhi found a break and pretended to ask casually, "I have a few encounters with General Mu, and I wanted to go and see it, but I was heavily guarded and didn't know ......."

Mu Wanning didn't hesitate, and said directly, "Second brother thinks that someone will assassinate his father, so he will guard it strictly."

Luo Qingzhi frowned, thinking, "Will it be assassinated? I'm the one who won't be able to defend myself......

Mu Wanning asked tentatively, "Does the county lord want to go and see my father?"

「...... I want to."

"Okay, then the county lord changes his clothes and comes with me." Mu Wanning said.

Luo Qingzhi changed into the clothes of the maid of Mufu and followed behind Mu Wanning.

With Mu Wanning's identity, Luo Qingzhi easily entered General Mu's courtyard.

Mu Chengqian was still the same as before, sitting in a wheelchair in a daze, and when he saw someone entering the door, he didn't give some eyes to the visitor.

Mu Wanning sighed and said, "Father has always been like this, and no one talks to him."

Luo Qingzhi couldn't decide whether she was friend or foe, so she could only pretend to know, after all, in the hearts of the people of Mufu, whether she was Jiang Yunsheng or Luo Qingzhi, she shouldn't have seen General Mu.

Mu Wanning pushed Mu Chengqian to face the sun, and said gently, "Father, it will be better to bask in the sun."

Luo Qingzhi observed Mu Chengqian's state without the slightest movement.

"Why did General Mu become like this?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Mu Wanning said, "It happened overnight, and now I don't know what the situation is."

Consistent with the butler's statement, Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Before, the eldest prince promised me that I could treat the general, but now..... I don't know if it's okay."

"I'll tell." After Mu Wanning answered, she suddenly hesitated a little, "However, you have to wait for the second brother to turn himself in."

Luo Qingzhi asked, "You are so confident that you can persuade the eldest prince?"

Mu Wanning said lightly, "The second brother has always listened to me, and besides, this matter is what the second brother did wrong."

"It's convenient to ask," Luo Qingzhi asked tentatively, "Why did the eldest prince do this?"

"Because of the family property." Mu Wanning replied.
