Chapter 76 The Sword of the Son of Heaven, Volume 1
The Mufu, the boudoir of the back house.
Mu Qingyao sat beside the bed in a daze, looking depressed.
The huge mansion was now empty, with only a few elderly servants left.
The bustling scenes of the past no longer exist. All direct family members of the Mu family, including the head of the family, Mu Qingzhou, were all taken to the sky prison.
If Mu Qingyao had not been granted special immunity due to her status as a disciple of the Sword Palace, she would also have to go to jail at this time.
The house leaked and it rained all night.
When the imperial edict to confiscate the family was passed into the Mu Mansion, Mu Qingyao almost couldn't hold back and almost killed the official who passed the order.
In desperation, she locked herself in the boudoir and thought about how to break the situation.
Listening to the chaotic footsteps of the government servants outside the house, Mu Qingyao was in a state of confusion, unable to think of any solution.
This was a disaster for the Mu family, an unforeseen disaster, and she alone could not reverse any situation.
"Hunjun!"
Mu Qingyao squeezed the Hualing Sword hard and gritted her silver teeth.
She wanted to rush into the Golden Palace and kill the emperor on the dragon throne, but she knew she couldn't do it.
Given her level, she might be surrounded and killed by the guards in the palace before she could see the emperor.
A sword in the Qi Refining Realm may be extraordinary, but it is not enough to compete with the king of a country.
Even her master couldn't do it.
The dynasties in the secular world are inextricably linked to the world of immortality. They are similar to the soil of the cultivation sect. They can change themselves and change dynasties, but they cannot be controlled by outsiders.
As a sword master, Mu Qingyao knows far more than other sword palace disciples.
She knew very well that the Yan Kingdom, several neighboring countries and even the barbarians were actually the territory of the Lingjian Sect. In this land, the Lingjian Sect was the only master. The consequences of killing the emperor would usher in the sect.
wrath and judgment.
By then, I'm afraid it won't be the consequence of the whole family going to jail.
Precisely because she was well aware of the size and terror of the Lingjian Sect, Mu Qingyao did not dare to take action without permission and could only watch as the Mu Mansion was slowly evacuated.
"I'm really useless..."
Mu Qingyao once again felt helpless and desperate. She could not save her family or her family business.
There was a clang.
The door of the house was kicked open, and a woman in official uniform walked in. She was in her thirties, with a cold and arrogant expression.
Behind the woman was a submissive eunuch, who was none other than Eunuch Nan, who had been humiliated by Yun Que many times.
"It's time to get here, move everything out."
The woman glanced at Mu Qingyao and said coldly.
Immediately some handymen broke into the house and started moving things.
Buzz…
Mu Qingyao couldn't bear it anymore, and the sword in her hand made a sword sound.
"Why, you dare to resist the imperial edict?" the woman said with an indifferent expression.
Eunuch Nan quickly helped and shouted: "Bold! Mu Qingyao, what do you want to do? This is Lord Haitang of Piaomiao Pavilion! I have been ordered to search your Mu family, and anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
After hearing about Piaomiao Pavilion, Mu Qingyao looked a little more fearful.
Piaomiao Pavilion was founded by the Imperial Master and was equivalent to the supervisory agency of the Yan Kingdom. It recruited a large number of experts and was mainly responsible for spying on intelligence, supervising civil and military officials and dealing with human traffickers.
Everyone who lives in the imperial city knows that if you fall into the hands of Piao Miao Pavilion, you will have to skin yourself even if you don't die.
The official position of Piaomiao Pavilion is not high, but the power is great. Even the chief minister of the dynasty must be afraid of three points.
Mu Qingyao endured it again and again, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
The Piaomiao Pavilion master named Haitang cast his gaze on the Hualing Sword in Mu Qingyao's hand and said coldly:
"As a disciple of the Sword Palace, you can avoid jail, but this sword is the property of the Mu family and needs to be confiscated, sealed and handed over."
Now Mu Qingyao couldn't bear it any longer.
The other party was so deceitful that he actually wanted to target her magic weapon!
Just when Mu Qingyao couldn't bear it any longer and was planning to fight to the death, someone else kicked in the door.
There was a clang, the door frame cracked, and the wooden door was kicked in half.
Eunuch Nan was hit in the eye socket by the broken wooden door, and his eyes suddenly turned black and blue. He said angrily: "Who is this person? What a courageous dog!"
"A debtor."
The visitor stood squarely at the door, blocking the scorching sun outside.
Eunuch Nan thought it was strange that the voice sounded familiar. When he looked carefully, he was frightened.
"Han, Han, Han Shuihou!"
Eunuch Nan wailed and hid behind Haitang, as if he had seen a ghost.
Mu Qingyao was stunned.
When she saw Yun Que standing in front of her, the corners of her mouth moved unconsciously, holding back her grievance and stubbornly maintaining a cold expression.
Haitang glanced at the outsider coldly and said in an arrogant voice:
"When you are doing business in Piaomiao Pavilion, please stay away from other people. Otherwise, you will be treated as a member of the Mu family."
"Such a great official power, I dare to ask this gentleman, what rank are you in the dynasty?" Yun Que looked frightened.
"Piao Miao Pavilion has no rank and is directly ordered by His Majesty." Haitang cupped her hands in the direction of the palace and said coldly.
"No rank?" Yun Que chuckled and said, "If you don't have rank, what the hell are you doing to me? You're a mere gangster who dares to challenge the Marquis of the dynasty. Do you know your guilt?"
The corners of Haitang's eyes twitched, and she also sneered and said:
"Piaomiao Pavilion is acting according to the order and raiding the residence of the guilty people. Is it possible that Marquis Hanshui wants to resist the order?"
This woman is very cunning. When people use her title to suppress her, she will carry out the imperial edict.
Naturally, Yun Que would not be fooled and said with a smile: "I don't dare to resist the order. I told you that I am here to collect debts."
Eunuch Nan hid behind Haitang, stuck out half of his head, and said in surprise: "You, what kind of debt do you want! We don't owe you any money!"
He was frightened by Yun Que's torture, and when he saw Yun Que now, his calves felt cramped.
"Of course Eunuch Nan doesn't owe me money, but the Mu family does."
Yun Que said as he shook out the IOU, waved it in front of Haitang and Eunuch Nan, and said:
"The writing is in black and white, and the fingerprint of the head of the Mu family is guaranteed to be authentic. It is said that killing someone is a life-paying debt, and the Mu family owes me money. I am here to collect the debt. It is only natural and right."
Mu Qingyao was just waking up from a dream, her mouth slightly open.
She finally knew why her father asked her to bring the IOU to Yun Que when she went to Tianlao to visit her father.
To actually have such a move is a stroke of genius!
Mu Qingyao couldn't help but admire her father's calculations, and even more admired Yun Que's mind. She never thought that she could take advantage of the farcical IOU.
"Sorry, I issued the imperial edict first, but you are late." Haitang stared at Yun Que, his eyes becoming colder.
"The imperial decree arrived before me, but the Mu family owed me a debt first. This is an IOU from half a month ago. Everyone in the Mu family knows it. If you don't believe it, you can investigate it at will." Yun Que raised his hand.
IOU, Tao.
Seeing that the other party refused to give in, Haitang became a little impatient and said coldly:
"Marquis Hanshui, what do you want?"
"I said, it is natural to pay back debts. I am only here to collect debts." Yun Que said with a smile: "After collecting the debts, I will turn around and leave."
Eunuch Nan helped with some advice and whispered: "Master Haitang, this guy is so difficult to deal with that even Your Majesty can't do anything about it. Otherwise, let's let him collect the debt first and send him away first.
"
Haitang narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Yun Que coldly, and said:
"Okay, since Marquis Hanshui insists on collecting the debt, I can be accommodating, but there is one thing. You must leave immediately after collecting the debt!"
“It’s a deal!”
Yun Que made a final decision and agreed, then turned around and walked out of the house, shouting to a group of people waiting outside:
"Construction has started! Choose the valuable ones to move, remember, don't move the cheap ones!"
With a whoop, nearly a hundred strong men who had just been hired dispersed in a hurry and began to move things all over the Mu Mansion.
Seeing such a spectacular scene, Haitang and Eunuch Nan were stunned.
