The men under them were a little confused, but they were used to following orders and silently retreated back to the mountain temple.
Mu Jingrui and the masked man looked at each other for a long time.
"I know that this matter is definitely not something you can do alone. Hand over the food, pay and weapons, and prove that the people behind you will at least... can keep your family safe."
The masked man was stunned for a moment. He knew that Mu Jingrui had recognized his identity. He simply took off the masked black scarf and laughed a few times.
"What? I'm afraid I'll implicate Ning'er?"
Zheng Binghang looked at Mu Jingrui coldly. "Since I dared to do this, I had already expected the consequences. But I didn't expect... Mu Jingrui, your luck is so good. Even the emperor didn't even have such a big thing to do.
God is so blind to you that he is giving an order to punish you.”
"If you want me to hand over the food and pay and weapons, don't even think about it. Without those things, you won't have a good life. Even if I'm going to die, I will take you to take care of it."
Mu Jingrui sent off all his subordinates just to leave a way out for the Yiyong Hou Mansion, but it was obvious that Zheng Binghang didn't want to appreciate it.
"Mu Jingrui, you can kill me, why don't hesitate?" Zheng Binghang walked forward provocatively, "Take it. Are you afraid that after killing me, you and Ning'er will be no longer possible.
?”
Mu Jingrui was touched by Zheng Binghang, but then he thought of the soldiers who died in battle at the border.
Zheng Binghang must die.
"I believe Ning'er will understand. I will give you another chance. As long as you hand over the things and tell the mastermind behind the scenes, I can plead with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, at least it will not affect the Mansion of the Yiyong Marquis."
"Hahaha!" Zheng Binghang laughed to the sky, "Mu Jingrui, just you... want to fight with our Volunteer Marquis' Mansion."
Zheng Binghang took advantage of Mu Jingrui's slightly distracted and slapped it out.
Mu Jingrui dodged and took a few steps back. He immediately issued a few hidden weapons and used his light skills to escape.
Mu Jingrui did not chase after him, and whistled softly, and a man in black walked out of the grass.
"Follow him. If I'm not wrong, he should go to his top to discuss countermeasures now."
"yes."
Mu Jingrui's thoughts were a little upset. He returned to the mountain temple and his subordinates immediately came forward.
"Mr. Mu, how do you deal with the master of the Soul-Surfing Hall?"
Mu Jingrui looked at the seriously injured masked man who fell to the ground and pondered for a moment. "Take it back and place it in a different courtyard to recuperate."
Mu Jingrui returned home with great worries and saw from a distance that the doorstep was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, and countless torches illuminated the entire road.
"Sir, you are back." The housekeeper walked out with a sad face, signaled with his eyes, and whispered, "The prefect of Jingzhao is here, with a strong momentum. It seems that the person who came is not good."
Mu Jingrui stepped in silently and saw the Jingzhao Prefecture Prefecture sitting above the main hall, drinking tea slowly.
This made his brows frown slightly.
"The prefect is here late at night, what's the point of doing?"
The prefect of Jingzhao stood up and said that he was under Mu Jingrui. However, when he saw the young man in front of him was arrogant, he did not want to follow the rules.
"It's like this, Lord Mu, the official received a report saying that Lord Mu, you robbed yourself. The food, pay and weapons that the court robbed were secretly hidden by you a few days ago..."
Before the Jingzhao Prefecture was finished speaking, a sharp and cold light flashed through Mu Jingrui's eyes, which scared the Jingzhao Prefecture Ordinary trembled and couldn't help swallowing.
"Mr. Mu, don't stare at Xiaguan. Xiaguan is also responsible..." Jingzhao Prefect's attitude improved and he smiled apologized, "You know that since there is a report, we have to do things."
"What do you want to do?"
"Well... as usual... we have to search..."
"Rareless." The housekeeper couldn't listen anymore and stood up and scolded, "My master is the Minister of War and the General of Shenji Camp. How could you just search for his mansion?"
The prefect of Jingzhao was also very dissatisfied, his face darkened, and he said, "It doesn't matter if Lord Mu doesn't let us search. The official will come to the palace to ask for an order. It's important, and the emperor will definitely be able to issue an order."
"you……"
The butler wanted to rush forward, but was stopped quietly by Mu Jingrui.
"You search." Mu Jingrui thought, it must be someone who is interested in him to trouble him.
But if he is clear, he will be clear.
After obtaining permission, the Jingzhao Prefect's face eased. After making a gesture, the yamen runners rushed in and searched carefully around the Mu Mansion.
Mu Jingrui was thinking about what tonight and was thinking about what to do so that he could not only seek justice for the soldiers of the border, but also appease Shangguan Wanning's emotions.
"Sir, I've found it."
A group of yamen runners came over carrying several large boxes full of dust. When they opened it, they saw two boxes of silver and two boxes of swords, all with the marks of the government.
Mu Jingrui's face changed suddenly.
"Mr. Mu, what are you going to explain this?"
Mu Jingrui closed his eyes tiredly.
He had no idea that there would be these things at home. However, looking at the dust on the box, it should have been a while since these four boxes were kept at home.
It turned out that he thought he was in charge of the overall situation, but in fact he was the one who had been planned for a long time.
"Sir..." The housekeeper was also stunned. He was about to defend the prefect of Jingzhao, but was stopped by Mu Jingrui again.
Now that things have come to this point, no matter how many excuses you make, they seem pale and powerless.
"Mr. It seems that you are going to ask us to go back with us and explain it carefully."
The prefect of Jingzhao was no longer as cautious as before, and his face was even full of pride.
Mu Jingrui said nothing, and before the yamen runners came up, he walked out.
The next morning court, Mu Jingrui was robbed by the prison guard. The emperor was furious and immediately ordered Mu Jingrui to be exempted from all powers, and the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture jointly investigated thoroughly. Mu Jingrui must be asked to tell other food, pay and weapons.
whereabouts.
For a time, the situation in the court was treacherous, and no one dared to take sides easily with the secret fuel of the Yi Yonghou Mansion.
Even Xiao Yujue can only wait and see for the time being.
"Miss, I heard that Lord Mu has been locked in the prison of the Ministry of Justice." Lu Tong looked at Shangguan Wanning's pale face and became cautious in his words.
Shangguan Wanning definitely doesn't believe Mu Jingrui would do this.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Shangguan Wanning stood up and walked to the window, looked at the blue sky, and murmured to herself, "Your Highness, you probably won't let him have something to do."
It seemed to be self-comfort and praying, Shangguan Wanning's thoughts were a little confused.
Everything she has experienced now seems to be completely different from her previous life. What is wrong?
