One million taels, the amount is huge, and a small Yanzhou Prefecture cannot swallow it, there must be other accomplices. The emperor asked Yan Mu to investigate. Some people were afraid of finding them, so they used this dead mouse to warn him not to put this

Things are too deep.

"I want to scare me with a dead mouse. I am so timid in their eyes?" Yan Mu sneered after hearing Liu Yunxiang's analysis.

Liu Yunxiang picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "But this dead mouse was put in the snack box of the two children. They knew you were not easy to deal with, so they just stabbed your weakness."

When Yan Mu heard this, his brows frowned.

He is indeed not afraid of anything, but he has a wife and children, so he has to worry about it.

"We will be careful these days, you don't have to worry. Just the case of corruption in Yanzhou Prefecture, do you have any new discoveries?"

"No." Yan Mu spread his hands, "The files compiled by Qin Feishi and Lao Si are very complete. I have seen Yang Xun when I went to the prison, a weak scholar and a strange man. He is also chanting poems and paintings in the prison.

Whether he had any grievances or not, he admitted it, and his attitude was very sincere. But if he asked him where the one million went, he pointed at it and refused to say another word."

"The Ministry of Justice should not be lenient when dealing with such prisoners, right?"

"Hundreds of torture instruments have been used, and he just wants to die."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe someone threatened him with his family and refused to let him confess his accomplices."

Yan Mu shook his head, "His parents, wife and children are both dead, and he is alone."

"ah?"

"He has no weaknesses, so the government office can't do anything to him."

"Can he save his life without saying it?" This is the only reason Liu Yunxiang can think of.

"No, the deadline given to me is more than a month before he was executed, but whether it can be found or not, he will be sent to the execution ground at that time."

Yan Mu shrugged when he said this, "So even though this case is handed over to me, how to investigate it, it doesn't matter if it is tighter or slower, or even whether it is checked or not."

When Liu Yunxiang thought about it, he was the same. If others couldn’t find it out, he couldn’t find it out either. He was ineffective. But if others couldn’t find it out, he would find out something, and he would only cause trouble for himself.

"Then what are you busy with these days?"

Yan Mu breathed out, "Let's wait until lunch is warm, so you and I will go out to the city."

The next afternoon, Liu Yunxiang followed Yan Mu out. In the cold winter, even in the afternoon, the wind was still chilly. Yan Mu wrapped Liu Yunxiang's cloak and then carried her onto the carriage.

On the road, Yan Mu lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. Liu Yunxiang didn't ask much, leaned in his arms, and as the carriage bumped, he became glaring in a short while.

I don’t know how long I sat there, but Yan Mu called her lightly, “Yun Xiang, we’re here.”

Liu Yunxiang opened his eyes in a daze and couldn't hug Yan Mu behind him. His low laughter came from his ears. Liu Yunxiang was a little more awake, and then he saw that he was close to him and hugging him intimately, and he couldn't help but look at him.

red.

Yan Mu lowered his head and kissed her, then tidied up his cloak and carried her out of the carriage.

"Lao Qi, what did you ask us to come here for?"

Hearing Zhou Lihuai's voice, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly patted Yan Mu and asked him to put her down.

When she stood firmly on the ground, she realized that they were on the mountain. Because it was winter, the forest was bare and bleak. Zhou Lihuai was just a few steps away, and seemed to be used to the intimacy between the two, and did not

Avoid. What surprised Liu Yunxiang was that there was still someone standing behind Zhou Lihuai, Zhu Qingjia.

Zhu Qingjia was the adopted son of Shangguan Xu. Xingyi was born as a military general. He had a very good relationship with Yan Mu before, but after Yan Mu broke up with Shangguan Xu, he stood on Shangguan Xu's side.

Before the Nanzhou rebellion was quelled, Zhu Qingjia was injured in his leg and his official position was still there, but now he is at home. He is wearing a green robe and a black cloak outside. His eyelids and his beard are swollen, and he looks depressed and unsuccessful at first glance.

"If you encounter a bear or something in this wilderness," Zhou Lihuai said, and picked up a wooden stick from the ground.

Yan Mu hummed, "If you really encounter a bear, I will throw you to it."

"Lao Qi, I'm your fifth brother. When I was a child, I always secretly gave you candy."

"As a result, he ate his teeth." Zhu Qingjia suddenly added.

Zhou Lihuai said hey, "Who told him to always go into the quilt and eat secretly at night, but he was afraid that his adoptive father would find out, so he would not dare to rinse his mouth, so he would definitely have to break his teeth."

"He had broken teeth, you got beaten up."

"Hey, who made me brother?"

Speaking of childhood, the atmosphere between the three of them became much easier.

Zhu Qingjia looked at Yan Mu, frowned, and then sighed sadly, "Xiao Qi was now the King of Zhenbei, and he was one with us. I just don't know what happened to His Highness asking us to come here?"

Yan Mu looked at Zhu Qingjia and said lightly: "Let's go up the mountain first."

Zhu Qingjia didn't ask much, turned around and walked up the mountain, but his legs were inconvenient and he limped. Seeing this, Zhou Lihuai sighed slightly, and then ran forward to support him.

"I don't need it."

“The road up the mountain is steep…”

"roll!"

Zhou Lihuai had no choice but to follow Zhu Qingjia so that he could support him in time when he needed it.

"I heard from my sister-in-law that you are dragging this sick leg to exercise every day, and you will run for more than ten miles. Didn't I tell you to keep it, slowly, and keep it calm and not be in a hurry."

"I have been raising it for half a year, and I have not seen any improvement at all!"

"That has to be maintained, you can exercise, but it needs to be appropriate."

"Okay, verbose."

Watching the two walk away, Liu Yunxiang walked up the mountain from Yan Mu. It snowed a few days ago, and there was still snow on the road, so it was a bit slippery. They were afraid that Liu Yunxiang would pull the wound, so they walked very slowly.

When she was halfway up the mountain, there was a flat land there. Liu Yunxiang saw Zhu Qingjia and Zhou Lihuai stop there. She walked a few steps forward and looked closely and found that there were three graves in front of them.

She turned to look at Yan Mu, and saw his solemn expression. After thinking about it carefully, she figured it out. She took a few steps faster and walked to the grave. She saw Mu Jin's grave first, next to it was Lin Jinxiao, and then that

The side is the meaning of Wei Shu.

Wei Shuyi killed the third prince and committed suicide in prison for fear of crime. The body was thrown directly to the grave. She didn't expect Yan Mu to collect the corpse for him and buried him here.

"Lin Tonight is... a beggar?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Yes, he is a second-hand man. We only know that his name is Lin Jinxiao, who was once a descendant of a famous family. He was responsible for his deep hatred and was saved by his foster father and did his job for him. He and the fourth brother were sent out by his foster father since childhood.

Grow up with us,” Zhu Qingjia said.

Yan Mu looked at the tombstone and said, "He has a hair full of flowers. We call him an old beggar, but he is not very old."

"You brought their corpses back from Beijin." Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Yan Mu.

"If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died there." Yan Mu looked at the graves of the beggar and Mu Jin, and he said in a deep voice: "You guys rest in peace, don't wait too long, I will twist Qin Fei Shi's "off"

Commemorate you."
