Yan Mu picked up the knife with trembling hands, blood came out of his eyes, and something was screaming in his body.

It's so painful!

If you die, you won’t be able to feel it!

Kill yourself!

He put the knife to his neck uncontrollably, and with just a push, the sharp blade would immediately cut his throat...

At this moment, there was movement outside.

Yan Mu thought for a moment, looked at the knife in his hand, and put it down in a panic.

The visitor was Jiang Yuan. He entered the back room and saw that Yan Mu was much thinner than the last time he saw her. There was almost no blood on his face. He suppressed his worry and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Master, my subordinates have asked He Liang, the supervisory censor, to find out about the secret coining of copper coins by Wuwei General Han Lin and obtain evidence according to your instructions."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "Han Zhao killed He Zichong. Han Lin has always been lawless and will definitely put pressure on Jingzhao Mansion to let Han Zhao escape the blame. And the supervisory censor He Liang only has a son like He Zichong.

, but let’s see if he has the courage to expose Han Lin’s private coining.”

He spoke very softly, with a bit of sarcasm, obviously not having high hopes for He Liang.

But he did what he had to do, and if it didn't work, there was nothing he could do.

He had pessimistic thoughts about everything from the beginning, but he was not afraid of losing his life at the worst, as if that would be a relief, even what he expected.

Jiang Yuan raised his head and glanced at Yan Mu, and said: "Han Lin and Princess Heshuo are deeply involved. Once the secret minting of copper coins is exposed, Princess Heshuo will be anxious to return to Jin'an to stabilize the situation."

At that time, the master can take revenge!

But she is the biological mother after all, what can the master do?

Here, Liu Yunxiang was helping Zijin bandage his wounds. When she heard the sound of horse hooves outside, she was really curious about what was happening outside. Seeing a ladder in the corner, she carefully climbed up the wall.

The lights from Tianxiang Tower, coupled with the illumination of many torches, illuminated the entrance of the alley not far away like daylight, so Liu Yunxiang could clearly see what was going on there.

There were many officials there, about twenty or thirty people, surrounding the entrance of the alley.

At this time, two official servants came out carrying a wooden board with He Zichong's body lying on it.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't see clearly at that time, but when he looked at it now, he couldn't help but gasp. The corpse of He Zichong was really horrible. There were more than a dozen stab wounds on the face, and the flesh and blood were blurred. One arm was broken, and two legs were missing.

, a large amount of blood overflowed from his mouth.

This doesn't look like a human corpse, more like a pool of flesh and blood.

At this time, a carriage stopped outside, and two maids helped a woman get out. The woman could not stand at all, so the maids helped her forward. An official came forward to stop him, but the woman shouted and ordered the official to stop.

After drinking it, he stepped forward and was stunned when he saw the body on the wooden board.

"No...not my son..."

The two maids also saw it, and after a moment of confirmation, they both started crying.

The woman yelled: "Why are you crying? It's not for my brother at all!"

"Madam...is...the eldest son..."

"Nonsense!" the woman said anxiously. She pushed away the two maids, rushed forward in a few steps, and pointed at the body on the board. "This face is so stained. How can you tell it's Brother Chong and his arms?"

...The arms are gone, the legs are gone, how could it be my son!"

The woman frantically circled around the corpse. Finally, when she saw a spot, she suddenly pressed her body against it. She hesitated for a while and then suddenly pulled off the jade pendant from the waist of the corpse.

"This jade pendant is for my brother. I'll ask a master to consecrate it for him..."

As the woman spoke, she looked at the corpse again, then her eyes widened and her mouth trembled: "Chong'er... that's my son..."

The woman burst into tears, fell on the corpse, and called her son's name over and over again.

The officer pushed Han Zhao out, and Han Zhao shouted: "Are you blind? You don't know who I am. I am Han Zhao. Let's see who of you dares to arrest me!"

"General Han, since this has happened, you have to go back to the Yamen with us to explain the matter clearly, don't you?" an official persuaded patiently.

"I'm sleepy and tired. I just want to go home and take a nap!" Han Zhao shouted.

As he said this, he pushed away the two officials around him and was about to leave. When the woman saw this, she bumped into Han Zhao.

"You killed my son, and I want you to pay with your life!"

Han Zhao didn't even look at who it was and kicked the person away.

"He Zichong, a bastard, dares to ask me to pay for it with my life!"

The two maids hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up. The woman was shaking with anger, "You... so what if you are the son of a great general... murder to pay for your life... I, the Censor's Office, will definitely seek justice!"

Han Zhao snorted, "How many times have I told you, I didn't kill He Zichong, he...he hit my knife by himself!"

No one at the scene believed what he said.

"What's your expression? Do I deserve to kill him? He's a bastard!"

"You!" The woman almost fainted from anger.

Han Zhao suppressed his anger and said: "I didn't chop off his arms and legs. The murderer is someone else. You losers, why don't you hurry up and catch the real murderer? What are you doing to pester me!"

With that said, he is leaving!

The officials and the woman all went up to stop him, but at this moment a group of cavalry came over. When they arrived, they all dismounted and saluted Han Zhao.

Han Zhao waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly stepped forward to stop the officers. He sneered and stepped forward to mount his horse.

"Jingzhao Mansion is handling the case, please also ask General Han to cooperate!"

At this time, a man in plain robes arrived. Apparently he had just received the news and had come from home in a hurry.

Han Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Su Qing, your Jingzhao Mansion is so capable, how dare you mess with my General Mansion?"

This person was Su Qing, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "If the young general is allowed to return to the house tonight, I'm afraid the general will not spare me!"

"What do you mean?"

"This is a human life. The one who died is He Yushi's son. The young general also knows that He Yushi has a mouth. No one in the court can take advantage of his mouth. If I let the young general go, what will happen to outsiders?

It is not allowed to say that the general exerts pressure with power, and even says that officials protect each other. This gives He Yushi a chance to talk and he cannot make a big fuss in the court. Besides, it will also hinder the authority of the general. Why don't you, young general, let us go to the government office first and wait for it?

The matter has been explained clearly. If it really has nothing to do with the young general, you can walk out of Jingzhao Mansion cleanly, which also avoids an unnecessary dispute."

Although Han Lin is domineering and arrogant, he is not a fool. He knows that what Su Qing said has some truth.

Moreover, He Zichong died, and he really wanted to know who dared to put the blame on him.

"I, the young general, will go back to the government office with you. It is said that Lai Zichong is also a good friend of my young general. I think I have worked hard for him."

"Bah! You are the murderer of my son!" The woman gritted her teeth with hatred.

Han Lin's face darkened, and he followed Su Qing away without fussing with the woman.

Liu Yunxiang rested his chin with his hands, thinking of the man in black, who could he be?

"girl!"

Hearing Zi Jin calling her, Liu Yunxiang looked down and saw Pei Rong looking up at her with a warm smile on his face.

"Liu Yunxiang, how nice is the scenery on this wall?"

Liu Yunxiang awkwardly climbed down the ladder and smiled at Pei Rong. Thinking of He Zichong, she hurriedly explained: "He Zichong's death is none of our business."

After all, the timing of their appearance was too easy to be misunderstood.

Pei Rong nodded, "I know there is someone else."

"Do you know who it is?"

Pei Ronghao said, "Did you say anything?"

Liu Yunxiang thought to himself, could this Pei Rong be an accomplice?
