Mu Beimo's wolf guard was well-trained and neat, and soon found out that Zhang Geyuan was behind the ghost.

Konoha flipped through the evidence sent by the wolf guards: "I knew he was stupid, but I didn't expect him to be stupid like this. ”

"You killed his son, and of course he hates you." Mu Beimo lazily sipped tea.

Mu Ye had a solemn face: "I'm just strange, Zhang Geyuan is stupid, but Yao Hongzhi behind him is very cunning, how could he let him do such a thankless thing?" ”

Easily took the teacup handed over by Mu Beimo, Mu Ye took a sip, and continued: "And his nursery rhyme is also strange, saying that my life is as thin as paper, that is, because of the loss of the royal family, I have only been living abroad for fourteen years; To scold me for being ungrateful is to favor Nanwan, and even Xiling was scolded together; The sentence of climbing the high branch is even more inexplicable, it is obvious that it was Brother Wang who took me back to the court, not me. This sentence didn't scold the point, but the last sentence was like a word count, scolding me for ignoring ethics and not being ashamed, which is a bit useful. ”

"Zhang Geyuan wants to hear your words, but he can't be angry." Mu Beimo thought what Mu Ye said was interesting, "But you're right, the last sentence is the point." Yao Hongzhi probably implied Zhang Geyuan to act like this because of this sentence. Or, what other arrangements does he have, and Zhang Geyuan is the bait to lure you into the bait. ”

"What are you afraid of, this has been sent to me, and I have no reason not to accept it. As for what else is behind, see the move. "Konoha is not timid.

Mu Beimo is familiar with Yao Hongzhi's powerful methods, and this matter is afraid that it is just the beginning, but he can't think of any other means for Yao Hongzhi, so he might as well follow what Mu Ye said, and see the tricks step by step.

Mu Beimo knew that Konoha was very good at acting, but looking at Konoha who was pitiful and crying in front of his father, God knows how hard it took him to hold back his laughter.

Mu Ye sobbed and said something like "My daughter is blessed and is not worthy of her father's favor", "My daughter doesn't know what she has done wrong, she wants to be slandered like this", "I knew that I would humiliate the royal family so much, I would rather not come back" and other words to Mu Yicheng, while taking the time to glare at Mu Beimo fiercely, and his eyes revealed an unmistakable threat of "dare to laugh and you will be finished".

Mu Beimo could only hold back a smile and speak for her: "Father, Ah Ye has suffered a great grievance this time. ”

Mu Yicheng was very distressed, hugged Mu Ye and persuaded and coaxed, and promised a few times: "If you find out who is behind the scenes, this king will never spare him, and he will definitely behead the public and give Ye'er anger." ”

Konoha slowly stopped his grief, and his eyes were still red. Her eyes are usually like a deep pool of ice, but once they are covered with a layer of mist, the coldness immediately dissipates, and it only makes people feel that she must have been wronged, and people can't help but want to protect her.

There was still a little crying in her voice, and she deliberately trilled: "Father, it is also Erchen's own negligence, thinking that the county lord's mansion is almost completed, it is better for Erchen to move out of the prince's East Palace, so that this rumor can be self-defeating." ”

Mu Yicheng was very satisfied with this, and immediately nodded in agreement. Seeing that Mu Ye didn't mind, Mu Yicheng's doubts about her and Mu Beimo getting too close also dispelled a lot.

Mu Beimo was stunned, Konoha didn't say anything to him in advance, she was going to move out of the East Palace. He knew that Konoha said this to alleviate his father's suspicions, and he also knew that Konoha was okay to do so, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

Yao Hongzhi, who had been watching Konoha play for a long time, felt that his teeth were sore, and he only hated why he came to the king today to discuss political affairs, and Konoha began to cry after rushing into the imperial study, so that he didn't even have a chance to quit.

Mu Yicheng coaxed Konoha before he remembered the prime minister who had been hanging for a long time: "Aiqing, have you checked the things I asked you to investigate?" ”

Yao Hongzhi knew that Mu Beimo and Mu Ye must have evidence in their hands when they came today. He wouldn't think that today's meeting in the imperial study was a coincidence, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to force him to abandon Zhang Geyuan.

However, he didn't think about protecting Zhang Geyuan, so Yao Hong knelt down neatly: "Back to the king, Weichen has found out that the person who spread the rumors is a subordinate in Zhang Geyuan's Zhang Chang's mansion. ”

Mu Beimo sneered: "The Prime Minister might as well say it directly as Lord Zhang, how bold can a subordinate dare to arrange the royal family." ”

Mu Yicheng was furious: "He is really bold, I must punish him severely." Spread my will, Zhang Geyuan was beheaded for public display, all men over the age of 12 of the Zhang family were executed, all men under the age of 12 were alloted, and the female dependents were made official prostitutes. ”

Konoha persuaded softly: "Why does my father bother to make such a big fire, Zhang Geyuan will not escape the death penalty, but the people of the Zhang family do not have to be implicated, otherwise what should be done with the Zhang family's fief and the Zhang family's army of 10,000 people?" ”

Yao Hongzhi immediately answered Konoha's thoughts: "The county lord and Lord Zhang have always been at odds, but why be so aggressive, the county lord just fell in love with the Zhang family's army, you might as well say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush." ”

Mu Beimo retorted: "The prime minister is too villainous to spend the belly of a gentleman, Ah Ye is obviously interceding for the Zhang family, how did it become aggressive when it came to the prime minister's mouth?" ”

Konoha looked pitiful again: "Father, the son was angry that Zhang Ji did not abide by the king's law, and he directly spoke disrespectfully to the royal family, so he killed him impulsively." The retainers knew that they had made a big mistake, and they were afraid that because of the retainers, the courtiers would be cold. is even more worried that his father will punish the Zhang family so severely for the sake of his sons, and those who know will say that Master Zhang deserves to deserve the crime of contempt for royal power, but those who don't know will say that his sons are small and have a personal vendetta, and saying these words has damaged the father's sanctity. ”

Mu Beimo secretly admired Mu Ye's performance as real, using the most pitiful tone, but in fact, he wanted to put the Zhang family to death in every word. also pointed out that Yao Hongzhi is the one who does not understand the holy will and despises the royal power, not only that, but Yao Hongzhi also framed her and provoked the feelings of father and daughter.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mu Yicheng glanced at Yao Hongzhi: "Aiqing lost his words." ”

Then he took Konoha again: "Ye girl doesn't have to be sad, and you don't have to persuade me anymore, I must deal with the Zhang family well." The fief of the Zhang family will be handed over to Beimo to take care of first, and the army of 10,000 people will be given to you, arranged outside Shengjing City, and you can transfer troops at will, without asking my will. I want them to see how noble my daughter is. ”

Yao Hongzhi still wanted to speak, but he knew that the general trend was irreversible, so he simply took advantage of the situation to express his approval.

Mu Beimo and Mu Ye kowtowed to thank him.

When he got out of the imperial study, Konoha proposed: "I'll pack up my things and send them to the county lord's mansion in these two days, it's a little late today, and I'll move out tomorrow." ”

Mu Beimo nodded in agreement, but his tone was slightly dissatisfied: "You didn't even discuss it with me first." ”

He sighed deliberately: "When you go to live in the county lord's mansion, you naturally dispel your father's suspicions, but if you want to discuss something in the future, it is not as convenient as being in the East Palace." "I hope it can arouse some guilt in Konoha.

Konoha didn't feel the slightest guilt, but felt puzzled: "Why is Brother Wang confused?" The county lord's mansion is only one street away from your East Palace, and with my light skills, it will take less than half a cup of tea to arrive. Coupled with the time when your wolf guards came to me, the total is only about a cup of tea, so it's inconvenient to talk about it. ”

After listening to Konoha's words, Mu Beimo felt a lot more relaxed, it turned out that Konoha had already thought of this layer. Living in the county lord's mansion is not a serious indication of estrangement from him.

Mu Ye reacted to what Mu Beimo was worried about: "Brother Wang don't have to worry, I am not the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, not to mention, now I only have 10,000 soldiers in my hands, far more than Ah Ye wants, Ah Ye also needs Brother Wang's help." ”

Saying the requirements so clearly, Mu Beimo breathed a sigh of relief, Konoha was too difficult to grasp, too far away, and an indispensable part of his plan. Now, he can only rely on interests to maintain the cooperative relationship between the two, but the benefits he gives will become more and more difficult to attract her as Konoha expands his military power.

On the morning of the second day, Mu Yicheng made a decree on the execution of the Zhang family.

Zhang Geyuan wanted to ask Yao Hongzhi for help, but the prime minister pretended not to see him.

At this time, Zhang Geyuan still didn't understand anything, it was obvious that the Zhang family was an outcast by Yao Hongzhi.

Yao Hong didn't say a word, and the rest of the nobles naturally wouldn't intercede for Zhang Geyuan.

Konoha went to watch the execution, Zhang Geyuan knew that he could not escape death, and he was not afraid of anything, he yelled at Konoha and yelled, if he was not tied by the executioner, he could rush up and bite Konoha's throat.

Konoha motioned for the executioner to step aside first, and she walked to Zhang Geyuan's side: "Lord Zhang, the only thing you can hate me is that I killed your son Zhang Ji. And now that your Zhang family's century-old foundation has been ruined, you really shouldn't blame me, you should blame Yao Hongzhi for why he abandoned you so easily, don't you want to take revenge on him? ”

"You slut, do you think I don't know that you took a fancy to the private soldiers in my hands, so you want to kill my Zhang family? Even now, you still want to instigate me to betray the prime minister, it's really a femme fatale. It's a pity that it's not as you like, I won't tell you anything, and my Zhang family is not dead, and when the descendants of the Zhang family grow up in the future, they will come to you for revenge. ”

Konoha showed a gentle smile, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Lord Zhang, where are the descendants of the Zhang family, even if I don't know the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Yao Hongzhi will not leave hidden dangers, so as not to cause trouble for himself in the future." ”

Konoha actually just came to test Zhang Geyuan, hoping to get some useful information so that he could guess what Yao Hongzhi was going to do next. However, Zhang Geyuan's performance proved that he didn't know anything. Konoha was a little disappointed, but he was not surprised, Zhang Geyuan was just an outcast after all, what useful information could Yao Hongzhi tell him?

"I don't have much more to say, let's do it." Konoha took a step back and gave the order to the executioner.

Zhang Geyuan's eyes were cracked: "Konoha, you slut, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" ”

"It's a pity that there are more people who want to come to me to ask for their lives, I'm afraid that you won't be able to rank up, Lord Zhang." Mu Yeyun said lightly the last sentence that Zhang Geyuan could hear.
