Chapter 103: Direct Recognition
Bai Zi'an's words made Mu Zichen, who had planned to continue the dispute, suddenly silent.
He never thought that Bai Zi'an would say these words.
How did he know? Master Mu's eyes widened, and he gently hid the trace of panic in his expression.
In this situation, if others were to perceive his emotions, I am afraid it would be even worse, so Master Mu could only take a deep breath to calm himself down.
"What did you say? You discovered the secret passage?"
As if hearing the news for the first time, Mrs. Yang looked at Bai Zi'an who was standing there with a little surprise, and there was obviously a trace of distrust in her expression.
After others saw this scene, they were even more sure that the reason why Bai Zi'an would say these things was because he didn't expect it to develop into the current situation.
"Yes, I've discovered the secret passage, so I don't think I can keep it hidden. ”
Biting his lip silently, Bai Zi'an took a deep breath, and then said to the others standing here: "I know that you may not believe what I say because of the reputation of the Mu family, after all, I am an outsider in your eyes, not only was I driven away by Yang Jia in the name of misconduct, but now after defecting to the Mu family, I also said these words like betrayal, but this matter involves the lives of boys and girls, and it must be said."
"If I didn't know at first, I could have dismissed it as if I had nothing to do with it, but now that I know about it, I can't be silent any longer, for the lives of those boys and girls are more important than the reputation of betraying the Lord's house. ”
"Good!"
Master Yang, who had been silent standing on the side, yelled, and then applauded Bai Zi'an, his expression full of encouragement.
"You are right to do this, and I am here to testify for you, if this matter is really a matter involving the lives of boys and girls as we have seen in the letter we have seen before, then even if you expose these things, we will not think that you are betraying the Lord's family, and you do not need to bear such a charge, because you are saving people. ”
After saying this, Master Yang looked back at the ordinary people standing next to him, and then said, "Don't you think so? Betraying the master's family is indeed a big crime for us, but no matter how big this crime is, can it still be compared to the lives of those children?"
The surrounding people were originally arranged in advance by Master Yang and Mrs. Yang.
After hearing Mr. Yang's words, he actively cooperated and yelled, "I agree with such a point of view!", and then encouraged the masses to cooperate with what Mr. Yang just said, and comforted Bai Zi'an.
Seeing that Mrs. Yang, Master Yang, and Yang Zixiu were able to arrange these things like this in a short period of time, Bai Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief.
That being the case, some things are easier to do.
"Then you take us now. Secret passages!"
Because of the officers and soldiers, Master Mu has not dared to arrange people to go to the backyard to inform something.
After hearing the officers and soldiers say such words, Master Mu's face became even more ugly.
Bai Zi'an turned around, as if he wanted to leave with everyone, but he was blocked by Master Mu.
"What do you want to do?"
Master Mu had a calm face, looking at everyone's expressions with a hint of dissatisfaction, he really didn't expect these people to dare to be so bold, but the more this happened, the more he couldn't let them leave.
This is really too dangerous, if they are allowed to leave, if Bai Zi'an really finds the secret passage that leads to the formation outside the city, it will bring a fatal blow to the Mu family.
"Are you harassing the government now? ”
People who can lead the team in this kind of thing naturally occupy a certain position of power in the yamen.
Although Master Mu has been practicing for many years, he does not dare to easily compete with these officials arranged by the imperial court in terms of status and status, otherwise even if he is a monk, he will definitely be under jurisdiction.
"This matter involves the reputation of the Mu family, I can't allow you to enter and exit easily, do you treat my Mu family as some kind of vegetable market? You can go in and out without paying any price?"
"And what do you want us to pay?"
Bai Zi'an didn't speak at this time, and before those people in the official mansion could speak, Mrs. Yang said this directly.
Master Mu stared at Mrs. Yang who came out to talk about these things with an extremely ugly face, and his gloomy eyes made the officers and soldiers around him can't help but clench the knife in their hands, and some of them even gently pulled the knife out of the scabbard.
The sharp sound of the scabbard and the blade touching made Master Mu, who was in a fit of rage, regain his senses, he took a deep breath, then looked at the person in front of him and said, "This matter is not suitable for me! Mrs. Yang thinks it would be better to let you in with what kind of exchange conditions." ”
"That's it, if after entering, we don't find those boys and girls along the secret passage, then our Yang family will move away from Shuiyang Town immediately, and we won't come to disturb you, how about the Mu family?"
Hearing this, Master Yang's eyes widened suddenly, he never thought that this lady of the Yang family would dare to take this kind of thing as a bet.
"This quid pro quo is very valuable, and Mu Yan won't want to agree!"
When he said this, the leader of the officers and soldiers still had a hint of vigilance in his expression, he had to be on guard at any time for Master Mu to draw his sword against ordinary people like them.
"No, since that's in exchange, I can't say anything more. ”
Master Mu gritted his teeth, but he still got out of the way in front of him with a smile on his face, and did not do anything else.
And Mrs. Yang sneered and pushed Master Mu away, and then walked into the courtyard of the Mu family with Bai Zi'an.
There were many officers and soldiers who came, and the person who led the team was named Zhang Xianrui. is an extremely bright and upright hero.
After knowing the news reported by the Yang family, he had been accumulating a lot of anger in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it.
And now that he has entered the Mu family, he is even more disdainful when he sees the extremely extravagant appearance of the Mu family's construction.
As the leader of the officials and soldiers of the government, Zhang Xianrui will of course often attend various rich and noble families, but he has never seen such a luxurious family as the Mu family before.
Maybe it's because he's shallow, but that really disgusts him.
"Go this way!"
