Now Mu Qing has become a more unstable factor, and when this external threat is approaching, it is really not good news for Da Wei.

If Emperor Wei could detect Mu Qing's change in mentality in advance, he would definitely take some precautions, but unfortunately, Emperor Wei didn't know at all.

The news that Mu Shaoyi was seriously ill and dying was difficult for outsiders to know, and all the famous doctors who consulted were secretly buried by Mu Qing!

"Yi'er, grandpa will definitely hold a beautiful funeral for you!" Mu Qing muttered and walked out of the ice room.

When Mu Qing's thinking became extreme, it was destined to add fuel to the fire of Great Wei.

Liu Chu's side has already teamed up with Lu Zhengxuan to follow the gang for two days and two nights playing shadow puppetry, but found that they didn't connect with anyone at all.

Liu Chu believes that this group of people is definitely instructed by others, otherwise how could a good person perform such a "insinuation" shadow puppet show?

It seems that there is no problem, but in fact, it is subtly influencing other people's thoughts.

"Why don't you do it tonight?"

In a side room of the Ten Quan Dart Bureau, Lu Zhengxuan looked at Liu Chu.

During this time, Lu Zhengxuan has also been living in the Ten Perfection Dart Bureau, also in order to be able to investigate this matter as soon as possible.

Although Lu Zhengxuan also lives in the Nine Cities, it is a security city on the other side of Xing'an City, and there is a whole Chang'an between the two cities, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth every day.

"Rashly acting, for fear of startling the snake, we don't have a clue now, and we haven't even figured out the line behind the scenes. Liu Chu said, the meaning is self-evident, and he doesn't want to do it yet.

"Maybe it's these people who are bought by people from overseas and non-local places. Lu Zhengxuan said.

"Impossible, I don't believe that our people in Dawei will be bought by the enemy. Liu Chu shook his head and said.

"In this way, your people won't be staring at those shadow puppets these days. You disperse your people, and all the high-ranking officials who live in Chang'an City and Jiucheng, especially those who are usually close to Mu Qing, will be stared at. Liu Chu said.

"Do you suspect that Mu Qing did this?" Lu Zhengxuan frowned.

"It is impossible for our people in Dawei to be bought by outsiders. It is unlikely that he will be bribed by his own people and do something harmful to Dawei. ”

"Your Majesty has made the people live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life over the years, and all the people have supported Your Majesty and supported Dawei. ”

"Those who can be bought should enjoy a greater kindness from their own people than this. ”

"For example, have you received Mu Qing's life-saving grace?" Liu Chu paused and said slowly.

Lu Zhengxuan was stunned, what Liu Chu said turned out to be very reasonable.

"However, if it's really Mu Qing, there's nothing you can do about him. His Majesty's meaning doesn't seem to be too much to move him, the time has not yet come. Lu Zhengxuan said.

"Whether Your Majesty will move or not, when you plan to move, it has nothing to do with us, we just need to put up the actual information from the investigation, as for what to do in the end, it is Your Majesty's decision. Liu Chu said.

"Lord Lu, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Liu Chu said again.

"You say. Lu Zhengxuan nodded, feeling that Liu Chu's analysis was in place.

Yes, they are just ministers, just do what is within the duty of the ministers, they are the executors, and Your Majesty is the decision-maker.

"Lord Lu does things, sometimes he is too forward-looking, since His Majesty has put you in this position, then you just need to be confident and bold to investigate anything. "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department was supposed to be just a Shangshu, but Your Majesty handed over the Criminal Prison and the Imperial Lieutenant to you, and you still don't understand Your Majesty's thoughts?" Liu Chu said.

Lu Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment, no one had ever said this to him.

"Your Majesty can send you to this position, and he can take you out of this position at any time. Lord Lu, maybe I'm a little too talkative. Liu Chu said.

He just intuitively said his feelings, and when he worked with Lu Zhengxuan in the past two days, he found that Lu Zhengxuan always talked to him first when he encountered problems.

It's not that it's bad, but it's not the right way, it seems to be discussed, but in fact, it's more like asking for help, and it all lets Liu Chu come to make ideas, lacking self-assertiveness.

In fact, Emperor Wei has always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to communicate with Lu Zhengxuan, but Emperor Wei estimated that Liu Chu helped him break through Lu Zhengxuan's shortcomings.

"I see. Lu Zhengxuan took a deep breath.

Everyone is smart, Lu Zhengxuan can sit in the position of the secretary of the criminal department, although he has the shortcoming that Liu Chu said, but he must have outstanding ability.

After all, how could Emperor Wei put an incompetent person in such an important position?

Liu Chu believes that if Lu Zhengxuan can correct the shortcomings he told him, he will definitely make further progress.

On the same day, Lu Zhengxuan took all the court captains back, and dispersed again, staring at the dignitaries and dignitaries who were closer to Mu Qing.

This squatting, another three days have passed, and the people on Liu Chu's side have not found any abnormalities in those who play shadow puppets, and the people on Lu Zhengxuan's side have not found abnormalities.

"Seven days are coming soon, we can't wait, let's arrest people tonight. Liu Chu said.

"Wait another night and try!" Lu Zhengxuan said.

"Lord Lu, are you sure? If you arrest someone today, you will have two days of interrogation, and if you arrest someone tomorrow, you will only have one day of interrogation. Liu Chu glanced at Lu Zhengxuan.

"I'm sure! I have a gut feeling that there will be a harvest tomorrow night!" Lu Zhengxuan said.

"I hope so. Liu Chu glanced at Lu Zhengxuan again and agreed to wait another night to try.

The day passed quickly, and that night, there seemed to be something strange in Chang'an City.

Dawei does not implement curfews, and there should be many people at this point, but there is a feeling that the alleys are empty, and the streets are empty.

Only after this inquiry did I know that today was the last scene of the shadow puppet show, which was very grand, on the big stage between Chang'an City and Xing'an City.

This big stage was built by Emperor Taizu when Emperor Taizu ordered people to build it in the thirteenth year of the founding of the Chen State.

The name of the stage is Wanqing Terrace, which is to commemorate a woman who loves to sing.

When Emperor Taizu rebelled, there were less than 100 people around him, and after half a year of fighting, he gathered stragglers along the way, and simply expanded the scale to 500,000 people!

From the current location of about the south of Xuzhou, it has been played to the north of Yongzhou.

Dozens of cities in the middle were all under the pocket of Emperor Taizu.

Among the enemies that Emperor Taizu encountered in his life, there were few who could really be regarded as opponents, and one of them was brutal by nature and called Hodtutu.

At that time, Hodtutu had an army of 300,000, probably occupying the position of today's Jizhou generation.

Under his rule, several cities deteriorated and the people suffered unspeakably.

Emperor Taizu Chen was in Red Rock City, preparing for a decisive battle with Hodtutu's army. However, he was betrayed, and the gates of Red Rock City were opened by the other party's spies, and Emperor Taizu only brought 200,000 people at that time, and as a result, these 200,000 people were besieged by Hodtutu's 300,000 army.

When there was no way out, a woman appeared and seduced the lustful Hodtutu who was guarding the city gate, and smeared her body with colorless and odorless poison.

Hodtutu could never have imagined that a woman would sacrifice her innocence and then apply poison to herself.

As a result, Hodtutu was poisoned and died!

However, before Hodtutu was poisoned and died, he forcibly killed the woman, and the means were extremely cruel!

When Emperor Taizu found the woman, the only thing that was intact was a skull!

Emperor Taizu didn't even know the woman's name, but later found a purse in the bloodstains, which was washed and embroidered with the word Wanqing.

Later, Emperor Taizu learned that this woman named Wanqing loved to watch operas and listen to music during her lifetime, so he built this huge stage between Chang'an City and Xing'an City.

In front of the stage, there are about 30,000 people who can sit down, and if you squeeze it, 40,000 people can also sit down, and if you squeeze it on both sides, 50,000 people will be fine.

"This story is quite touching, but the truth is no longer close, whether the woman named Wanqing exists, or not, some people say that it has been made up. However, Emperor Taizu's killing of Hodtutu is real. ”

Liu Chu and Lu Zhengxuan were dressed in civilian clothes, and they mixed in the crowd, and after listening to Hodtutu's narration about the origin of this big stage, Liu Chu also remembered that he had seen it in the history books.

There are two theories, and it is impossible to determine which one is true.

"It's too old, just listen to this kind of thing. Lu Zhengxuan also nodded in agreement.

"My men have surrounded this place, and if there is any movement, not even a fly can fly out. Lu Zhengxuan continued.

Today, the 50,000 court lieutenants of the prison are out of the nest, and the checkpoints set up extend from the big stage to the south gate of Xing'an City.

However, Liu Chu and Lu Zhengxuan have watched more than a dozen shadow puppet shows, and there is still no abnormality.

Tonight's ambush, don't go in the soup again?

Suddenly, Liu Chu found that several figures sneaked out from behind the stage, and he immediately came to his senses.

"Lord Lu, congratulations, your intuition is very accurate. Tonight, we won't go home empty-handed. Liu Chu grinned.

"Let's go. Lu Zhengxuan also smiled, and also saw those sneaky figures.

At the same time, at this point in time, there was still a light on in the pavilion of Mufu, and the light swayed in the breeze, making people worry about whether it would be blown out by the wind in the next moment.

Mu Qing tightened the big coat on his body, it was just autumn now, but the weather was already cold and people didn't want to come out when they got into the quilt.

"Kill 10,000, and then get me a big one. Mu Qing commanded.

After finishing speaking, he remembered that Kill Wan had already left.

So, I tightened the big snarls on my body again, and stayed up for a while, and the long night passed quickly.

"Your Majesty, my dark chess pieces will be shown one by one for you to eat, after all, I don't want to wait for me to ascend the throne, and then bother to get rid of these dark chess pieces left behind, it is better to borrow your hand to clean up. ”

Mu Qing smiled, then closed her eyes, as if she was dozing off.
