Ouyang Xun handed the transfer order issued by Gao Yan to Luo Qingzhi. She looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed Gao Yan's handiwork.
After confirming this matter, Luo Qingzhi was a little confused as to why Gao Yan did this.
Not knowing why, she could only ask Ouyang first, "What was the cause of death of the eldest son of the Mu family?"
"Drowning." Ouyang Xun replied calmly.
Luo Qingzhi's eyes were stunned, and then she began to wonder whether the deaths of the eldest son of the Mu family and the new son-in-law of the Mu family were related.
Ouyang Xun remained calm, waiting for Luo Qingzhi's instructions.
Ningzhou City gradually woke up. Outside the walls of the state capital, the cries of vendors came, interrupting Luo Qingzhi's thoughts, but it also gave her a chance to breathe.
Luo Qingzhi's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she had an idea in her mind. Perhaps the driving force behind all these events was Gao Yan, and she was just a pawn in his hands.
Ouyang Xun coughed and said softly: "Princess, don't think too much, just do what you should do."
"What should be done?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Ouyang Xun said: "Why did the princess come to Ningzhou? That's what she should do."
Luo Qingzhi took a breath and said, "Yes, do what I should do."
"It's true that he is the number one scholar, Lord Ouyang." Luo Qingzhi smiled.
Ouyang Xun bowed his hands and said, "The princess is so complimentary. I am just doing what I should do."
Luo Qingzhi asked: "So, what should adults do?"
"Guard the peace of the state capital."
Luo Qingzhi listened to Ouyang Xun's words, saw the determination in his eyes, and understood his persistence.
"Okay, then let's do what we should do."
Ouyang Xun said, "Yes," and then asked, "So, what are the princess's next orders?"
Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and said: "First, send a message to Jinling. I need the files of the eldest young master of the Mu family. Second, send a message to the Mu family Wanning and Mu Qi. I want to see how they will talk to each other.
Third, bring General Mu to the state capital, I need the general to speak."
"Princess, this is an open war." Ouyang Xun said.
Luo Qingzhi said: "When I fight, what I like most is to go straight in and catch someone off guard."
Ouyang Xun nodded and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, I'll do it right away."
Luo Qingzhi watched Ouyang Xun leave and said to the window on the right: "Come out."
Feng Zinan came in through the window and said, "Young Master, Feng Xing is missing."
"Mu Wanning should have discovered it. Don't worry, their target is me. Fengxing will be fine." Luo Qingzhi comforted.
Feng Zinan asked: "Why did the young master suddenly start to doubt Mu Wanning?"
"...Because it's watertight." Luo Qingzhi explained, "When I came into contact with her, she didn't have any flaws. It seemed that everything she did was for "love." But why did Mu Qi surrender after she surrendered?
She never mentioned her husband-in-law again, and instead kept directing us to the eldest son of the Mu family."
"When did she start guiding?" Feng Zinan asked.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Just now, in General Mu's courtyard, everything she did and every word she said was guiding."
Feng Zinan said nothing, and Luo Qingzhi asked: "I don't understand."
"Yes," Feng Zinan nodded.
Luo Qingzhi explained, "It was already Yinshi when we went to General Mu's courtyard. At that time, Mu Wanning said that she took General Mu out for a walk. It was so late for a walk. She was obviously waiting for us on purpose. Then,
The servant rushed in, and Mu Wanning could clearly explain, but pretended not to know each other, forcing us to confront each other. If you hadn't been there, maybe I wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."
"But." Luo Qingzhi paused and continued: "The biggest suspicion is that she has some skills in her body."
Feng Zinan said: "What do you need me to do?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "After Mr. Ouyang invites Mu Wanning out, you go to Mu Mansion and bring out General Mu and Feng Xing. I will ask Gao Zhen to help you."
hear high
When Zhen's name was spoken, Feng Zinan frowned visibly.
Luo Qingzhi saw Feng Zinan's hesitation, but she didn't intend to give him a chance to refuse, and said, "Go and prepare."
At that moment, Ouyang asked someone to find her.
In the state prison, Luo Qingzhi came to Mu Qi's cell.
Ouyang Xun said softly: "Princess, I have already met you."
Luo Qingzhi nodded.
In Mu Qi's cell, Mu Wanning's back was turned to Mu Qi, and the two of them stood and sat in a dead silence.
After a while, Mu Qi asked: "Are you okay? Is the house okay?"
Mu Wanning responded calmly, "Everything is fine."
Mu Qi wanted to say something else, but Mu Wanning coughed and stopped him from speaking.
Mu Qi smiled, as if he did not understand what she meant, and said to herself: "I killed my eldest brother a year ago, and killed your husband that day. I regret these things, but I have no regrets."
Mu Wanning clenched her fists and was speechless.
Mu Qi continued: "After I die, Mu Mansion and my father will be handed over to you. Although he treats you badly, he is our father after all."
"Stop talking." Mu Wanning growled.
Mu Qi smiled and sighed softly, "Aning, it's always our Mu Mansion that feels sorry for you. From now on, you can live your own life."
Mu Wanning finally turned to look at Mu Qi, "Second brother..."
"If I can hear you scream again, second brother, I will die with no regrets..." After Mu Qi finished speaking, she raised her hand and stabbed her heart with the dagger in her sleeve.
"Second brother!" Mu Wanning yelled.
Luo Qingzhi and others suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately rushed to the cell.
Mu Qi fell into Mu Wanning's arms, vomiting blood, and said intermittently, "Ah, Aning, yes, no, I'm sorry..."
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Luo Qingzhi, "Princess, I, all, did it..."
After uttering the last sound, Mu Qi closed her eyes tightly and stopped breathing.
Luo Qingzhi did not expect such an ending. She looked at Ouyang Xun with confusion in his eyes.
Mu Wanning hugged Mu Qi, her voice was hoarse, and she yelled, "I don't want this, I never want this, second brother..."
"Now, everything can only stop here..." Ouyang Xun said softly.
Although Luo Qingzhi was unwilling to give up, she agreed with Ouyang Xun's statement and could only say lightly: "Please send Miss Mu back to the side hall to have a rest."
Mu Wanning asked: "What should I do with my second brother's body?"
Ouyang Xun answered: "He is the principal culprit in the case. Although he committed suicide, his body must be inspected by his wife and kept in a file before his body is returned to the Mu family."
Mu Wanning yelled: "My second brother is dead, and you still want to destroy his body. I don't agree. I will take him back to Mu's house now."
Ouyang Xun looked at Luo Qingzhi, as if waiting for her opinion.
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, then please ask Miss Mu to sign the confession on behalf of my brother. We will keep it on file and this matter will be closed."
"......good."
Ouyang asked someone to submit a confession, and Mu Wanning signed the six words "Muwan Ningdai Muqi" and pressed his own fingerprint.
"Now, can we go?" Mu Wanning asked.
"Of course." Luo Qingzhi nodded, looked at Ouyang Xun and said, "Sir, please arrange some people to send Miss Mu."
"yes."
After Mu Wanning left, Luo Qingzhi was also about to leave. Ouyang Xun stopped her and said, "Princess, just leave like this."
Luo Qingzhi asked back: "This is already the case, what else do you think you can do?"
Ouyang Xun thought for a while and said, "I feel that there is still something unclear about this matter. Princess, I should continue to investigate."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said: "The facts are clear. You and I have heard it. There is no need to check. I will return to Beijing in a few days."
"Princess!" Ouyang Xun was disrespectful for the first time.
, "Princess, I am the official..."
"Master Ouyang!" Luo Qingzhi raised her voice, "I said, I won't check anymore, you understand."
Ouyang Xun and Luo Qingzhi looked at each other, looking at her eyes looking to the left, somewhat understanding.
He cupped his hands in salute and said, "I'm an official, and I would like to send you my congratulations to the princess."
Luo Qingzhi left the prison, walked out of the gate of the state capital, got on her horse, and came to the inn.
Pushing open the door of Zhi Xin's room, he looked at Mu Chengqian in the wheelchair and asked, "How is it, has it been detoxified?"
Zhi Xin said: "It doesn't take effect that quickly."
Seeing that Gao Zhen was not in the room, Luo Qingzhi asked: "Where is Erlang?"
Zhi Xin frowned and hesitated.
Feng Zinan came in from the door and said, "He stayed in Mu Mansion."
Luo Qingzhi asked: "What is he doing in Mu Mansion?"
"Feng Xing didn't find it." Feng Zinan said.
Luo Qingzhi looked at Mu Chengqian, thought for a moment, and asked, "He disguised himself as Mu Chengqian and stayed in Mu Mansion."
"Yes." Zhi Xin nodded, "Mu Wanning is alert. We thought she might soon find out that General Mu is missing. Ah Zhen said that he could buy you time by pretending to be General Mu and staying in Mu Mansion."
"There was indeed something wrong, and Mu Qi committed suicide." Luo Qingzhi said.
Zhi Xin said: "How could it be so?"
Luo Qingzhi did not explain. She looked at Mu Chengqian and asked, "How long will it take for him to speak."
Zhi Xin shook her head, "It's hard to say, maybe tomorrow, or maybe a long time ago..."
"Two days. If General Mu still cannot recover in two days, we will replace Erlang and return to Beijing first." Luo Qingzhi said.
"But, we haven't found out at any time, how can we explain to His Majesty when we return to the capital?" Zhi Xin asked.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Compared with finding out the truth, my life is more important in your Majesty's eyes."
Zhi Xin did not refute, but looked at Feng Zinan again, "What about Feng Xing?"
Feng Zinan said: "As soon as we leave, Fengxing will be safe."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "They have no intention of confronting us. If they kill anyone, they will not be able to bear the situation of death and destruction."
"Okay, you don't care about the people you care about, so of course I won't say anything." Zhi Xin said calmly.
After explaining the situation, Luo Qingzhi returned to the state capital.
Ouyang Xun was waiting at the door.
"Princess Princess."
Luo Qingzhi said: "I heard that Ningzhou's noodles are quite famous. I wonder if you can give me a favor and take me to eat them?"
Ouyang Xun said: "Naturally."
The two of them left the state capital together and walked into the crowd. Luo Qingzhi said, "There are too many informants in the state capital. It is safer outside."
