The wound on Mu Yirong's shoulder is not deep, and it seems that he is recovering well, and it will heal in less than two or three days.

Seocho stared at Mu Yirong's shoulder and commented, which made Mu Yirong feel a little uncomfortable, so he opened the topic and told Seocho not to worry about going to the court for a while, although His Majesty the Emperor has become a little eccentric in recent years, he will not scold and punish people for no reason.

Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor summoned her, just to ask some things about the case, there is nothing serious, there is no need to be nervous.

As long as she follows the rules and doesn't do anything out of the ordinary to annoy the saint, there will be no problems.

After Mu Yirong finished saying these words of relief, he suddenly felt faintly worried in his heart, he hadn't heard of the heroic deeds of this guy, so he couldn't help but say a few more words, so that Ruicao would stand behind him when he arrived, and follow his actions, and he must not treat the guards of the third prince as before, as well as the second prince, and Yu Xianfei Palace.

After Mu Yirong said this, he realized that this young lady of their family was really bold, and there were only a few noble people in the inner courtyard of the palace, who actually offended her by half, how could she still stand in front of him with a good head and intact?

Bao'er, who was carrying the food box, went and returned, her face was a little ugly, and she couldn't help but complain loudly without waiting for others to ask her what was wrong. said that her mother didn't know who she heard chewing on the root of her tongue, and that she didn't serve Miss Ruicao Biao well every day, and always ran to the courtyard wall overgrown with creepers, and had an idle conversation with the maid of Liufu next door.

Bao'er was very aggrieved and said that she was really wronged, and in the two days that Ruicao went to Lintong County to investigate the case, she was very worried, she couldn't eat and sleep steadily, and she didn't have any leisure to chat with people.

They are all Xiaocui'er, who is next door to Liu Qingyan, and always calls her through the wall, asking her if the young lady and the eldest young master have come back.

If she has nothing to do, she shouts ten times or eight times a day, just like calling a soul, and she is annoyed by the noise.

Mu Yirong heard Bao'er say this, and asked the maidservant Xiao Cui'er, did you say that there was something to do with him and Seocho?

Bao'er shook her head, "She just kept asking if the eldest young master and young lady had come back." Then he said that when the two of you come back, you must inform her. ”

When Bao'er said this, she slapped her thigh suddenly, "If my mother hadn't scolded me for this, I would have forgotten about it." ”

Mu Yirong felt that this maid was simply a living treasure, and smiled at Bao'er, "Okay, I know." You go and tell her that if you have time tonight, invite their Miss Liu to come to Xianyuan for a cup of tea together. ”

"If Miss Liu next door knew that the eldest young master invited her to tea, she would definitely want to get dark immediately. ”

After Bao'er said this with a smile, she suddenly remembered the scene of the stacked arhats she saw in the courtyard that day, and looked at Seocho uneasily. But seeing that her young lady didn't seem to hear it, she couldn't help but worry about her own young lady.

As far as the elm-like temperament of the young lady of his own family, how can he and the eyes of the young lady next door are like two hooks, and Miss Liu, who is hooked to her young master, robbed the eldest young master, it is really the emperor who is not in a hurry, and is in a hurry to kill her, a little eunuch.

Mu Yirong saw Bao'er's bitter and hateful expression, staring at Seocho, who was very appetizing early in the morning and chewing meat, and for some reason, he was in a very happy mood.

At the end of May, the weather is sunny, the sun is like marigold, and the plums are as fat as plums.

The apricot blossoms are fragrant, the swallows are flying high, the girls in the flower season wearing light tulle skirts, the slender jade hands gently shake the fan, and the fine fragrant sweat is crystal clear between the forehead and temples.

Seocho stood particularly eye-catching in the queue of courtiers waiting outside the Daming Palace, and some courtiers who were familiar with Mu Jingzhong couldn't help but look at Seocho more when they stepped forward to greet him.

Ruicao was wearing a black official uniform of Dali Temple, a gauze hat on her head, two hanging strands on her chest, and two red agate beads were falling, shaking playfully, but her owner's face was too cold, so that these two red beads seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frost and became pearls wrapped in silver.

The official uniform on Seocho's body is brand new, which adds a little more heroism to her, and her righteousness is vigorous, standing with Mu Yirong, she is not inferior at all.

Qian Youliang, who loves to talk and laugh, stepped forward to joke with Mu Jingzhong, saying that if he didn't know that Miss Mu was on an errand in Dali Temple, he thought that Master Mu had given birth to another son, and this Miss Mu Mansion looked completely inferior to Master Mu. If it's a man, I don't know how many women in Beijing will be fascinated.

Mu Jingzhong was about to open his mouth to entertain Qian Youliang, the head of the household department who made fun of him, and the guards guarding the city gate opened the gate of Daming Palace, sang loudly, and led the court officials in.

The supervising imperial history took the courtiers of the previous dynasty to the bell and drum tower in the Daming Palace, and stood and waited for the opening of the gate of the Hanyuan Hall to enter the court.

Qian Youliang, the head of the household department, didn't know where he came from today, and he didn't care about the supervision of the imperial history, so he had to pester Mu Jingzhong to speak, and asked him how the monster murder case that had been in the capital recently, how was the investigation?

The words of Qian Shangshu of the household department immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they all looked at Mu Jingzhong curiously.

Before Mu Jingzhong could speak, Liu Shicheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, snorted with his nose, "Your Majesty is benevolent, there is such a big case in the capital, and the case has not been solved within the time limit, but the investigators are lazy and lazy, and the case has not been solved for a long time, which has made people inside and outside the capital panic and complain, which is really a shame for our colleagues to follow." ”

Mu Jingzhong was accustomed to Liu Shangshu's cynicism, and he didn't say anything, he only smiled and nodded at Qian Shangshu of the household department, saying that he already had some eyebrows, and he believed that soon, the murderer would be brought to justice.

"It's better to be so. ”

After Liu Shangshu threw this sentence to Mu Jingzhong in disbelief, he calmly said nothing.

Qian Shangshu patted Mu Jingzhong's arm, smiled, lowered his voice to comfort Mu Jingzhong, and said that Liu Shangshu was timid and afraid of death, worried that His Majesty would punish Dali Temple, and even the criminal department, so he didn't have to worry about it. He believed in Mu Jingzhong's ability to do things, and there was a group of capable officials under him, and it would not take long for the murderer to be arrested.

Saying that, he also mentioned the murder case of Wanjin Gambling House that Mu Yirong had just investigated, and this time, he would definitely be rewarded by the saint again.

Liu Shangshu, who had been pricking up his ears, heard this, and snorted coldly again, "The dog is nosy with a mouse." The case of monster murder in his hand has not been solved yet, and he is still salty and eating radishes and worrying about helping Jingzhao Mansion catch road bandits, and he really has the energy and doesn't know where to use it. ”

Mu Jingzhong was loyal and upright, but he didn't have a good temper to be squeezed out like this, and immediately glared at Liu Shangshu, "I heard that Liu Jingshan was tortured and interrogated in the prison of the Criminal Department and confessed all night, and he didn't spit out a useful word." I don't know if Liu Jingshan's bones are too hard, or if Lord Liu's interrogation wrists are too soft?"
