"You're winter, aren't you?"

was named by Mu Ning, and Fu Dong nodded nervously.

"Let me ask you, six years ago, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, were you assigned by Mu Xi to find Jiang Banxia?"

Fu Dong cautiously glanced at Mrs. Mu and Mu Xi, and after meeting Mrs. Mu's sharp knife-like eyes, she quickly shook her head in fright.

"The slave doesn't remember."

"This sister, if she tells a lie in front of the emperor, she will have her tongue removed."

After Mu Yanxi finished speaking, the snow-white little hand patted lightly on Fu Dong's shoulder.

Fu Dong's face changed, and then he slammed his head on the ground, "Ask the emperor for forgiveness, I said, I said everything, ......"

“…… After Sister Yicui brought Banxia into the second lady's house, I went to do my own thing. ”

Mu Xi was mad, and kicked Fu Dong to the ground with one kick, "! How dare you betray me! ”

Mu Ning quickly grasped the key, "Betrayal? In other words, what Fudong said is true? ”

Mu Xi suddenly realized that she had fallen into a trap, she looked around in a panic, and it was not until she met Mrs. Mu's eyes that she slowly regained her composure.

"Yes, I did ask people to find Banxia, but I looked for her for something else, Mu Ning, what evidence do you have to prove that I used the money to instruct Banxia to buy Hehuansan? If it's someone else, maybe it's you who is a thief and a thief. ”

Mu Ning snorted lightly, "Also, you and Banxia are locked in the house and whispering, and others can't hear it." However, there is one person who should know, after all, she was also present at the time. ”

Hearing this, Mu Xi instinctively looked at Yi Cui who was kneeling on the ground.

Yi Cui also happened to raise his head, and the eyes of the master and servant were on the same page, and they knew each other.

Mu Xi was secretly relieved, she was still relieved of Yicui, she had been by her side since she was a child, and she was all tied to her for the rest of her life, and she would never betray her.

Just as Yi Cui was about to open her mouth to clarify for her master, Mu Yanxi suddenly spoke up: "Sister, do you know what the person who has his tongue removed looks like?" ”

Faced with Mu Yanxi's threat, Yi Cui was very disdainful.

She's not a coward like Fudong, she's scared by a child and spits out everything.

There was absolutely no way she would betray her young lady.

"I ......"

As soon as she wanted to speak, Yi Cui felt as if there was something more in her head, making her unable to think or make up lies.

“…… According to the young lady's instructions, I took out the five hundred taels of silver prepared in advance and handed it to Banxia, and asked her to go to Jiuzhen Hall to buy Hehuan San...... This is not a small amount, and there are three hundred taels of silver in it, which the young lady asked His Royal Highness King Qi to take......"

Mu Xi was directly stunned.

Forget about the winter, but Yicui is obviously the most reliable and loyal servant girl by her side, why did she betray her so easily?

Yi Cui was also very confused, how could she tell the truth?

She wanted to beg Mu Xi for forgiveness, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she counted all kinds of bullying of Mu Ning by Mu Xi's mother and son, in addition to instructing Xiaohong to steal the original owner's monthly example, she also instructed Xiaohong to poison and kill the original owner, and abandoned the original owner to the mass grave to feed the wolves.

Although Xiaohong is dead, the two family members who were assigned to throw the corpse are still there, and with them as witnesses, there is no escape from the crime!

"Tsk, I really know people and faces, I don't know my heart, Mrs. Mu looks kind and virtuous on the surface, but her daughter is so ruthless and vicious."

"A kind ghost, you can become a concubine step by step from a slave maid, and then become the wife of the prime minister, and monopolize your husband for 20 years, how can the means be ordinary?"

"Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and levels the world, Prime Minister Mu Cheng is the head of a hundred officials, but the back house is so chaotic, allowing the stepfamily to bully and oppress the concubine, and the behavior of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife is simply confused."

Listening to the discussions and accusations of the civil and military officials, Mu Yuanlin's old face was hot and painful.

"Your Majesty, it was the ministers who did not discipline their daughters well that made such a joke today, and the ministers are ashamed."

Although Emperor Dongfeng said when he first arrived at Mu's house that Mu Yuanlin was a birthday star today, there was no need to kneel, but when things came to this point, he had to kneel.

"It's not me, I haven't done this, it's them who are lying, it's Mu Ning, it's Mu Ning who colluded with them to slander me! Father, mother, emperor, you believe me, it was Mu Ning's ghost, it's all her fault, you should arrest her and torture her......"

"Xi'er, shut up!"

Mu Yuanlin shouted to stop Mu Xi's crying of grievances, glanced at Mu Ning vaguely, turned his head to Emperor Dongfeng and pleaded: "Your Majesty, although Xi'er is a little pampered, her nature is not bad, and the minister believes that she is unintentional, but she is young and ignorant, and she has done something wrong because she was instigated by the people around her."

The son does not teach the father's fault, the minister has been thinking about the court all these years, ignoring the discipline of the children in the family, please ask the emperor to see the loyalty of the minister, can forgive the child once, and the minister is willing to accept the punishment on behalf of the child. ”

Emperor Dongfeng quietly measured the civil and military officials, turned his head and asked Chen Chongshan.

"Gong Chen, what do you think about this?"

Chen Chongshan glanced at Mu Yuanlin, who was kneeling on the ground, "Back to the emperor, this matter is too small to say, it's just that the inner house is private, and it is considered Lord Mu's family matter, but to put it bigger, it is Lord Mu's body that is not right, as the head of the civil official, self-cultivation and family governance, if the first two points can't be done, it will be difficult to convince the public even if you have a great strategy." ”

"Then Chen Gong thinks, how should this matter be handled?"

"But it's up to the emperor to decide."

Dongfeng Emperor: "......"

Okay, you Chen Chongshan, I threw the ball to you, and you actually kicked it back.

Emperor Dongfeng silently took out a small notebook and secretly made a note to the other party.

Oops, what to do?

Although he was a little angry about Mu Yuanlin's collusion with the second child, he didn't want to really tear his face and hurt his anger, after all, he still wanted to rely on Mu Yuanlin to help him govern the government and contain the party of Taiwei Xie, who was in charge of military power.

"Father, the son thinks that Mu Xi mutilated his sister-in-law, and his methods were vicious, and he should be punished by law, and Miss Mu should be given justice. If it is easily spared, everyone will learn from it in the future, then the criminal law will not become an ornament, and the society of the country will also be chaotic. ”

Looking at the third child who jumped out in a few stupid places, Emperor Dongfeng was happy.

That's right, it's time to let the second and third and their young people fight, and they old guys just sit on the wall and watch.

"Ming'er, then according to you, what crime should Mu Xi be punished?"

Mu Xi's face turned pale, and he immediately threw a look at Qi Wangjun Moyi for help.

Mo Yi, help me.

Don't worry, I'm here, it's fine.

Understanding Jun Moyi's hint, Mu Xi was relieved, and knelt down with peace of mind and no longer defended himself.

It's just that she didn't notice the sneer that flashed in Jun Moyi's eyes.

Even if she escaped punishment by luck, her reputation is infamous, and Jun Moyi, as a popular candidate for the crown prince, will marry a vicious woman with a bad reputation as a princess when she is crazy.

"Father, the son is in charge of the duties of the sect order, and the matter of criminal law should be left to Wu Tingwei to decide."

Jun Moming is not stupid, and kicked the ball to the Ting Wei Office, who is in charge of the judicial prison.

Okay, you're a little sixth, you have the ability to catch the ball, but you shoot by yourself!!

Tingwei Wu Zongxian scolded secretly, and replied in a muffled voice: "According to the minister's opinion, Mu Xi poisoned the King of Qin and brutalized his sister, the methods are ruthless and outrageous, and the place will be decided." Master Mu has no way to discipline him, and he should be punished for his murder, as for how to punish him, it all depends on the emperor's decision. ”
