Mu Jiaojiao glanced at the situation in the room, and then stepped forward and pinched Cao Shu's neck.

Cao Shu only felt a sharp stabbing pain in her neck, and then she noticed that the lost strength was gradually recovering, and her hands and feet were able to move. She quickly jumped up: "Cousin, my cousin-in-law and I have nothing, really!"

"Well, I trust you. Mu Jiaojiao said lightly.

Cao Shu suddenly fell to the ground with the stone in her heart.

Seeing this, Old Lady Cao hurriedly shouted: "Thirteen Niang, it's already this time, why do you have to retreat? You and Cui Liulangjun are in love, and now that you have handed yourself over to him, who else can you marry besides him? You should let him be responsible for you!"

"Great-grandmother, don't say it!" Cao Shu hurriedly wrapped up her clothes.

Old Lady Cao looked at Mu Jiaojiao triumphantly: "As you can see, this is the situation in the house. The two of them fell in love, and they started drinking after you left, and they couldn't help themselves, and quietly achieved good things. Now they say this just because you are weak and sick, and they don't want to provoke you too much. ”

"No, cousin, don't listen to my grandmother's nonsense!" Cao Shu hurriedly shouted.

"Thirteen ladies, why do you say you are doing this? Since they have all been discovered, you can admit it. Haven't you worked hard for the past two years of secrecy?" said Mrs. Cao.

Tears rolled out of the corners of Cao Shu's eyes that had just dried up.

"Great-grandmother, are you really trying to force me to death? Well, I'll die now!"

With that, he slammed into the wall.

"Stop her!" Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly ordered.

Old Mrs. Cao immediately shouted again: "Look, my great-granddaughter has been forced to death by you! You must give me an explanation and give an explanation to our Cao family! Otherwise, I will not be finished with you!"

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at her weakly: "Come on, take this old lady down first, and then tie up everyone in this courtyard for me!"

"What are you doing, you want to destroy the corpse?" Mrs. Cao was frightened by these words, and hurriedly shouted at the top of her throat.

"Don't worry, even if I kill you, I don't have to destroy your body, just throw it on the mass grave and let the wild dogs gnaw it. Destroy the corpse or leave you the whole corpse!" Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly, but there was a bright light in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Cao was frightened. "You dare!"

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched: "Do you dare to say it yourself?"

She said, "Of course this girl dares!" She had already threatened her once before!

And now looking at Mu Jiaojiao's performance, it is clear that she has already been released! Cui Pu is still standing beside her like a god, and he has the intention of escorting her.

Could it be that she couldn't do anything, and now she is actually pitting herself?

Mrs. Cao collapsed to the ground in despair.

It turns out that she is also capable of this?

Mu Jiaojiao chuckled and shook her head: "Forget it, I won't scare you." I still have something to do, so I won't play with your old man for now. Stay there and let me interrogate this group of people first!"

Mung Beans had already laid a cushion on the ground, and Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu both sat down.

Immediately, the people in this courtyard were tied up, and the ones who walked in the forefront were a few maids who were serving them today.

When these people saw the situation inside, their faces also changed drastically. One of them quickly knelt down: "Madame, spare your life! The maid just accepted the benefits of Mrs. Cao and helped her do things! Everything was planned by Mrs. Cao! The servant is willing to accept the punishment, just ask Mrs. you to spare the maid's life!"

Immediately, someone responded in unison.

Mrs. Cao was so angry that she was half dead: "Miaolian, are you ashamed to say this? The plan is not false to me, but the idea of drugged is yours!"

"The servant is also forced to be helpless! Old lady, didn't you say that if the servant doesn't help you with ideas, you will use the excuse that the servant is not good and want to drive the servant out of the house? Prefect, madam, please Mingjian, the servant actually doesn't want to betray you at all, but this old lady is too powerful, and the servant can't beat her!" Miao Lian cried loudly.

"You are talking nonsense! Obviously, you took the initiative to come up! You also gave the idea of promising Thirteen Niang to Cui Liuzi as a concubine! You little, see if I don't kill you!" Old Lady Cao scolded loudly, and was about to come forward to beat someone when she lifted her shoes.

Mu Jiaojiao said impatiently: "Plug her mouth." ”

Mung Bean immediately stuffed the handkerchief into Mrs. Cao's mouth, and pressed her with his own hands, preventing her from screaming anymore.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the group of girls kneeling in front of her, and lightly opened her lips: "Say, who sent you?"

A group of maids were stunned, and hurriedly shouted grievances, shouting their loyalty to Mu Jiaojiao.

Cao Shu came back from her grief and indignation and heard this, and she was stunned again. "Cousin, you mean ......"

"Otherwise, why do you think they will do their best to help your great-grandmother break up our husband and wife? Shouldn't ordinary people look forward to harmony in the house, and everyone has a comfortable life? We give them a monthly money that is not low, and they often have clothes to eat, drink and reward, and this income is not low in Yangzhou Mansion. Even if you support an aunt, how much do you think their credit can get you in exchange for this? Even you, an old confused great-grandmother, will really think that they were bought by her money to help her do things!" Mu Jiaojiao squinted at the old lady Cao over there.

Cui Pu also arched his hand at the old lady Cao: "However, speaking of which, we also want to thank you and thank you." If it weren't for your old man jumping around here all the time, we wouldn't have been able to find out this group of people!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao's face changed, and Cao Shu finally reacted in hindsight - it turned out that everyone had a plan for this tonight. She was the only one who was stupidly tossed back and forth, tired physically and mentally in vain.

Thinking like this, Mu Jiaojiao took her hand and patted her on the back of her hand: "In the future, are you sure that you will be filial to this great-grandmother and devote yourself to her retirement?"

Cao Shu was in awe.

Mu Jiaojiao's words hit her heart deeply, making her feel a chill down her back.

It is true that when she first saw Mrs. Cao appear in front of her, she was not only angry, but what followed was endless joy -- fortunately, the Cao family was not dead, and she still had someone to accompany her! Even if Mrs. Cao made a fuss, she was still a living relative and depended on herself! Moreover, this great-grandmother was so old that she would not have lived for a few years, and even if something happened, she would have endured it for a while.

With this in mind, she has always had a tolerant attitude towards Mrs. Cao in her heart. I'd rather chase after her ass and be careful than completely tear her face. The only seizure was for Qiu Shan.

Afterwards, she secretly regretted it for a long time, and felt that it was really unfilial to not give face to her elders in public. So later, she tried her best to make up for the old man, even if she knew that Mrs. Cao's banquet was a Hongmen banquet, she gritted her teeth and followed her to attend. As a result, who would have thought that it was this banquet that revealed Mrs. Cao's sinister thoughts clearly, and her heart was also hit hard one after another!

Mu Jiaojiao is the person she relies on the most now, Cui Pu is the person he respects the most, and Qiu Shan is the person she sincerely intends to stay with for the rest of her life. But these three people were killed at the same time by her great-grandmother who she wanted to continue to respect!

Once this is done today, then these are the three who will be hurt!

She's forcing her to betray her relatives!

Now, the guilt in her heart for Mrs. Cao has already been washed away by hatred.

"I ...... I don't want to. She said coldly.

When Mrs. Cao heard this, her eyes immediately widened, and she struggled to speak. But Mung Bean covered her mouth: "Lady, Mrs. Cao has drunk too much, and it seems that she can't hold it anymore, so the maid will take her down to rest." ”

After getting Mu Jiaojiao's approval, she beckoned someone to drag Mrs. Cao down.

Mu Jiaojiao patted the back of Cao Shu's hand again: "We will ask someone to send her to a Zhuangzi to raise her." There will be no shortage of her food, clothing, and housing, but her actions are not so free, and the people around her will no longer be so unconditionally indulgent with her. Every month I'll also have someone report on her situation for you to know. ”

"I see. This is very good, cousin, there will be no mistake in your arrangement, everything will be done according to your instructions!" Cao Shumuran nodded, and her heart was still chaotic.

However, no matter how chaotic it is, it is a fact that her last trace of affection for Mrs. Cao has already been cut off by Mrs. Cao herself.

While speaking, Xiao Si'er walked in again.

"Lang Jun, lady, I asked people to block the doors everywhere, and sure enough, I caught a few suspicious maids. By the way, the people who have been wandering around our mansion for the past two days have also been controlled, and they are now locked up in the back firewood room, do you want to interrogate them now?"

Hearing this, the few girls kneeling here suddenly turned white.

Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao took this scene into their eyes, and Cui Pu immediately got up: "Of course! Strike while the iron is hot, the effect is the best! Lady, now these girls are handed over to you, and you will judge that group of people for your husband." Let's confess to them together when we go back!"

"Good. Mu Jiaojiao shook his head.

Cui Pu walked briskly, while Mu Jiaojiao continued to sit peacefully, but slowly pulled out the golden hairpin on his head, and pulled out the golden needle little by little, as if he was playing with it unintentionally, and his mouth was still so soft: "Now, do you plan to explain it yourself, or let me help you?"

A group of maids were all shivering, and they suddenly felt cold.

The trial went well. Two hours later, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu were already sitting together to accept the fruits of their labor.

"Heh, I really can't see it, I am a small prefect, and I can get the favor of so many people, and so many eyes and ears are placed around me! Lady, do you think I should be happy? After all, there are very few people who can enjoy such treatment as me!" Looking at Mu Jiaojiao's signed confession page by page, Cui Pu couldn't help but sigh again and again.

"You should be happy. Mu Jiaojiao nodded happily.

In this operation, they unexpectedly unearthed more than 20 hidden stakes hidden in the government in one go! Do the math, these people are from all directions!

There are those who ordered Li Linfu when the central government wrote to the court, those who observed Dai Ziang, and those who made the prince, those who came to the palace of King Shou, and even Yuan Mubai, the envoy of the current Jiangnan Dongdao Festival, also came to intervene. Most of the heads come from these people, and there are a few from other parties.

This result is undoubtedly a very high reward for Cui Pu.

But anyone who is an official in the DPRK and the central government is indispensable to the eyeliner placed by others. The more important your position is, the more eyeliner others will have, and the deeper the placement will be, which is something that everyone knows. After all, the more important the person, the greater his influence on the court situation, and others certainly want to take his every move into account, so that they can make judgments as soon as possible at the very moment and take action.

Cui Pu, the prefect of Yangzhou, has a low official position, but his position is more important. But it was still too small compared to the big officials in Chang'an City who scolded Fang Xuan. But now, everyone from all sides has begun to pay attention to his actions, doesn't that mean that everyone has begun to pay attention to him as an opponent?

This is an affirmation of his achievements over the years, which is a great thing!

"What are you going to do with these people?" asked Mu Jiaojiao.

"Send it back to their lord!" Cui Pu smiled, "By the way, since the Yuan Jiedu envoy pays so much attention to us, we might as well visit him together!"
