For several days, Mu Jingrui's face was gloomy and he almost didn't speak except for necessary business.
Every night, you need to use the ultimate anesthesia to fall asleep. If you are awake, just as soon as you close your eyes, you will be the scene of Shangguan Wanning and Sun Jinyao hugging each other.
He felt like he was about to be tortured madly.
Late at night, Mu Jingrui still couldn't fall asleep. He sat in the yard, drinking alone, and no servants in the mansion dared to approach him.
A figure quietly came to Mu Jingrui's side.
He lowered his eyelids and looked at the shadow behind him, still saying nothing.
"I have done what you want me to do..." Chu Xiaolian looked at Mu Jingrui's back and couldn't help but want to get close.
However, the steps continued to stop.
She also paused when she saw Mu Jingrui's movements.
"Where are people?" Mu Jingrui asked in a cold voice.
Chu Xiaolian replied softly: "I brought it, right in the branch of the Soul-Surveying Hall."
Mu Jingrui pushed the wine glass aside, stood up and turned around, and walked past Chu Xiaolian.
"Go and have a look."
His indifference made Chu Xiaolian feel a little worried.
The two of them took advantage of the night to use their light skills to the branch of the Soul-Surveying Hall. In the secret room, a young man was lying on the ground, his white clothes were covered with blood stains and mud, his hair was scattered, and strands were hung on his shoulders.
superior.
Mu Jingrui approached him step by step and looked down at him.
"I'll ask, you answer; if the answer makes me unsatisfied, you will be worse than death."
Shen Ziyu looked up at Mu Jingrui. This man of his age was born with a sharp murderous aura when he walked down from the battlefield.
"What do you... want to know?"
"What's the matter when the brave Hou Zheng Guoxun came to you to do something?"
Shen Ziyu chuckled. "Mr. Mu is really good at joking. How can a person like me... be able to stand up for the rebellious Marquis."
A sharp light flashed in Mu Jingrui's eyes.
He turned his body slightly, Chu Xiaolian took a step forward and slapped Shen Ziyu's knee with a palm.
In the quiet secret room, Shen Ziyu's screams echoed, and the bone was broken particularly clearly.
Shen Ziyu fainted from pain.
"Wake up."
As soon as Mu Jingrui finished speaking, Chu Xiaolian poured a basin of salt water on Shen Ziyu's wound. Shen Ziyu shivered in pain and opened her eyes in a confused state.
"You... are so cruel..." Shen Ziyu looked at Mu Jingrui with resentment.
Mu Jingrui doesn't care.
Human traffickers like Shen Ziyu are not worthy of sympathy even if they die a thousand times and ten thousand times.
"It's still the original problem," Mu Jingrui looked at him coldly, but his tone became even more sharp, "Say."
Shen Ziyu's body was trembling, and he opened his mouth several times, but it seemed that he had a hidden secret.
"You know your current situation very well. If I hadn't brought you back to the Soul-Surveying Hall, you might have been the dead soul under someone else's sword. You know who was going to kill you."
Chu Xiaolian's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
In fact, since his return journey to the border, he was chased by a group of mysterious people. He knew that it was the righteous man who wanted to kill someone to silence him.
"Can you let me go as long as I tell the truth?"
Mu Jingrui wrapped his hands in front of his chest, looked down at Shen Ziyu with condescending sneering in his heart.
Think beautifully!
"I know if you are instructed by someone you are not told. However, I need to know the whole story of the whole thing."
Shen Ziyu sighed heavily and endured the pain and told the matter carefully.
Mu Jingrui did not raise any inquiries or questions throughout the whole process.
In fact, what he wanted to know the most was whether Shangguan Wanning colluded with the Zheng father and son.
When he heard the pain he experienced during Shangguan Wanning being caught by Shen Ziyu and sent to the border, his heart still felt a little painful.
"I know, I've said it... What does Lord Mu plan to deal with me?" Shen Ziyu asked tentatively.
Mu Jingrui was silent for a long time, turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Chu Xiaolian ordered his subordinates to take care of Shen Ziyu and followed Mu Jingrui's footsteps to the yard.
She saw Mu Jingrui standing alone under the moonlight, her figure was pulled long by the bright moonlight, and her handsome side face was full of fragility and sadness.
"You hand over Shen Ziyu to the emperor and let him testify against the Zheng family's father and son in front of the emperor. You use Shangguan Wanning to approach you and modify the formation map of the troops. In this way, you can cleanse the suspicion and get 100,000 yuan.
The soldiers' souls are resting."
Why doesn’t Mu Jingrui understand?
However, in this way, Shangguan Wanning's situation will be very embarrassing.
He was not sure if the emperor would sue, and...
The last time Shangguan Wanning did not come to court to testify for him, there must be a reason she had to do so.
"Are you worried..."
"You don't have to worry about my business." Mu Jingrui interrupted Chu Xiaolian's words, took out three thousand taels of silver bills from his sleeve and handed them over, "This is your reward for doing things."
After saying that, he left with his longevity.
Chu Xiaolian pinched the silver notes in his hand, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to endure his anger.
She tried her best to do her job for him, in order to make him feel better; however, he placed their relationship in the position of interest transactions.
She was unwilling to give up.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the gaps in the window, and Sun Jinyao slowly opened his eyes.
He saw Lu Xiangzi dozing off on the table at a glance.
Since he was injured, Lu Xiangzi has been taking care of him endlessly, almost inseparable from him.
In fact, Sun Jinyao felt that his injuries were not so serious.
He always felt that Lu Xiangzi was even more concerned about him than his apprentice Shangguan Wanning.
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
The knock on the door woke Lu Xiangzi up, and he looked at Sun Jinyao.
"Awaken?" said, and got up and opened the door. "Ning'er, so early?"
"Master, I'll tell the kitchen to stew some supplements for you and help Brother Yao deliver breakfast."
Shangguan Wanning walked into the room and saw that Sun Jinyao had already sat up.
"Your complexion looks much better."
"That's it," Lu Xiangzi grabbed a steamed bun and ate it. "With you coming here to take care of him every day, he will be in a good mood and will naturally get better."
Shangguan Wanning was slightly stunned and lowered her head with a blushing face.
In the past, she only regarded Lu Xiangzi as a joke; but now, she also felt Sun Jinyao's feelings towards her and was a little at a loss.
"Old monster, don't talk nonsense." Sun Jinyao said something to stop him.
Lu Xiangzi squeezed his eyebrows, ignored Sun Jinyao's scolding, walked to the table and wrote a prescription and handed it to Shangguan Wanning.
"There are these medicines missing in the mansion. You can go to the pharmacy and buy them."
"I know Master," Shangguan Wanning put away the prescription and looked at Sun Jinyao again, "Brother Yao, you have a good rest."
After Shangguan Wanning left, Sun Jinyao was a little lost.
Lu Xiangzi bumped him.
"Boy, you can't hesitate about emotions. If you don't catch Ning'er's heart now, you will miss her for the rest of your life."
