Chapter 273 [There is a ghost in it, it's hard to tell who it is]
Xiong Wencan's heart sank when he heard what Mu Linfeng said, and then he immediately said: "Oh, yes, it's been a good journey. Thank you, Mu Shuai, for worrying!"
Mu Linfeng looked at Xiong Wencan, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and then turned into a gloomy expression. His cold eyes were like a cold steel knife, picking apart Xiong Wencan's clothes one by one, until Xiong Wencan
Standing naked in front of him.
Xiong Wencan did not dare to look into Mu Linfeng's eyes. He lowered his head and kept moving his eyes. He suddenly felt that his limbs were no longer in control, and his hands were constantly trembling.
At this time, Mu Linfeng suddenly laughed, then took two steps back, waved his hands, and more than ten soldiers immediately stepped forward to capture Xiong Wencan and push him to the ground.
Xiong Wencan raised his head hard, looked at Mu Linfeng in surprise, and said, "Mu Shuai, what do you mean?"
Everyone was also very surprised. Just now, Mu Linfeng knelt down to accept the imperial edict when everyone was unwilling. Now, before everyone could recover, Mu Linfeng quickly captured Xiong Wencan again. Everyone was puzzled.
Mu Linfeng ignored everyone's surprised looks, slowly approached Xiong Wencan, knelt down, smiled at Xiong Wencan and said, "Master Xiong, are you still not telling the truth?"
The look of horror on Xiong Wencan's face, the trace of feigned surprise, could no longer cover up the panic in his heart. Xiong Wencan opened his eyes wide and looked at Mu Linfeng, murmuring: "Mu... Mu Shuai... Xiong Wencan
I don’t understand…I don’t understand what you mean…”
Mu Linfeng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, you have the guts..."
Mu Linfeng stood up and said to the soldiers: "Throw Lord Xiong from the tower. If he doesn't turn into meat, you will jump down after him!"
When the soldiers heard this, they first raised their jaws and then immediately lifted Xiong Wencan up and walked towards the city wall. Xiong Wencan cried out: "Commander Mu, spare your life, Commander Mu!"
When Chen Yuanyuan and other female relatives heard that Xiong Wencan was going to be beaten into a pulp, they all stood up in shock, hugged each other, and looked at Mu Linfeng in astonishment without making a sound.
At this time, Zhang Cai also came over and whispered to Mu Linfeng: "Linfeng, what are you..."
Mu Linfeng quickly waved his hand to signal Zhang Cai not to say anything else, and whispered: "Mr. Zhang will understand in a moment!" Then he quickly said to Xiong Wencan: "Master Xiong, Mu will give you one last chance!"
Xiong Wencan was lifted above his head by the soldiers and had reached the edge of the city wall. As long as the soldiers exerted a little force, his body would be thrown out immediately, and then he would fall from the high wall of more than 20 meters. Even if he was not smashed into flesh by then,
Mud, I'm afraid all the muscles and bones in the body will be broken, and the brain will bloom.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Wencan turned around and looked outside the city wall. His originally flustered and frightened face returned to calm. He suddenly burst out laughing. He turned to look at Mu Linfeng and said, "Mu Linfeng is indeed Mu Linfeng. I can't hide anything from you."
Eyes, since you have seen through them, I won’t bother you to do anything!”
As he spoke, Xiong Wencan actually turned over and jumped up on the soldier's hand. Unexpectedly, his fat body could reach out so vigorously. After Xiong Wencan turned over, he jumped into the air, then jumped out of the city wall and fell straight down. He only heard the sound of
With a bang, Zhang Cai, Wang Zhizhen, Shi Kefa and others all walked to the city wall to watch.
Chen Yuanyuan and other female family members all shouted "Ah", their faces full of despair.
Mu Linfeng opened his mouth and originally wanted to ask the soldiers to catch him, but before the words came out, Xiong Wencan had already fallen off the city wall.
Zhang Cai frowned when he saw that Xiong Wencan had fallen into a ball under the city wall, the body was covered with blood, and his death was horrific.
Shi Kefa and Wang Zhizhen looked at Xiong Wencan's body without looking at each other. The other officials who were brave came to watch one after another, while the timid ones stood on the spot, whispering and looking at Mu Linfeng from time to time.
Zhang Cai left the city wall at this time, walked to Mu Linfeng, and said, "Linfeng, what on earth is going on?"

, Let’s continue watching the fireworks show. What’s so good about a corpse during this Lantern Festival?” He said and quickly motioned to the soldiers to go down to the city and dispose of Xiong Wencan’s body.
After hearing what Mu Linfeng said, the officials all returned to their original seats and sat down. However, they were not in the mood to watch the fireworks show. They all whispered and discussed what had just happened.
After Mu Linfeng sat down, he turned to Shi Kefa and said, "Master Shi, please don't be so arrogant. Send some soldiers to look like ordinary people and faint among the crowd below to see what's going on!"
Shi Kefa nodded immediately after hearing the words, then turned around and left. Seeing Shi Kefa leaving in the middle of the journey, all the officials present guessed that something must have happened.
Wang Zhizhen and Zhang Cai were sitting on the left and right sides of Mu Linfeng respectively. Mu Linfeng then said to Zhang Cai: "Mr. Zhang, do you want to know why Xiong Wencan acted like this just now?"
Zhang Cai was not in a hurry at this time. While drinking tea and watching the fireworks blooming in the sky, he said softly: "I see Linfeng that you are so confident. I'm afraid all this is already within your expectation, right?"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said: "Sir, that's ridiculous. Linfeng only discovered the flaw during the conversation with that guy just now!"
Wang Zhizhen wondered at the side: "Mu Shuai, what's going on? Wang is still in the dark!"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "This Xiong Wencan is fake!"
Zhang Cai's face changed slightly when he heard this, but Wang Zhizhen's face changed drastically and said: "What? Fake?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Yes, first of all, the imperial edict brought by Xiong Wencan is exactly the same as the imperial edict brought by Zhou Yanru before. This first aroused Mu's suspicion. Imagine that Zhou Yanru came here years ago, and it has been almost a month now.
, there was also the incident of our bombing of Xuzhou on New Year's Eve. How could it be possible that after such a big thing happened, the emperor would issue the same imperial edict to Mu, and not mention a word about the incident in Xuzhou?"
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said: "Not bad, not bad!"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "Then Mu asked Xiong Wencan if he had encountered anything inappropriate on the way to Yangzhou. Xiong Wencan actually said that the journey was peaceful and nothing happened. If he came from the capital, even if he did not pass directly through Xuzhou
, and the surrounding county guards should have heard about Xuzhou's affairs. There is only one problem. This Xiong Wencan is not from the north, but from the south or east, so he does not know about Xuzhou's affairs..."
Hearing this, Wang Zhizhen nodded again and again and said: "Yes, if he is really from the capital, it is impossible that he does not know about Xuzhou... But what if Xiong Wencan was not in the capital at that time, but received the emperor's order elsewhere,
Who came to Yangzhou in such a hurry?"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, but before he answered, he heard Zhang Cai say: "Zhizhen, how is this possible? The emperor gave Xiong Wencan such an important task, how could he not explain it to him personally? Even if it is true as you said, then
Someone has to give him the emperor's decree, and that person must pass through Xuzhou, and Xiong Wencan will also get the news about Xuzhou, right?"
Wang Zhizhen couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he heard the words. Mu Linfeng laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang still thinks so clearly. Linfeng really admires him!" He said and bowed his hand to Zhang Cai.
Zhang Cai smiled slightly and said: "Then the question now is whether the imperial court sent Xiong Wencan to read the imperial edict, and who is this Xiong Wencan?"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but touch his chin when he heard this and murmured: "Yes, this is also what Linfeng is thinking about!"
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, he immediately said: "By the way, when Wang went to pick up Xiong Wencan, he had several subordinates. Wang immediately sent someone to arrest them and come to find out!"
Mu Linfeng waved his hand quickly and said: "No need, Mu was careless about this. He should have stabilized his position first and then went to arrest people. Now that the fake Xiong Wencan is dead, I'm afraid those people have disappeared long ago."
?”
Wang Zhizhen said hurriedly: "Then we should go and have a look..." Then he waved and attracted a few soldiers. After giving them a few instructions in a low voice, the soldiers left in a hurry.
The officials on top of the city tower were talking a lot, and they saw soldiers leaving. Their speculations were even more mixed, and everyone had different opinions.
Mu Linfeng knew that these soldiers would definitely return without success, but he did not stop them. Everything in this world was in danger, so he had no choice but to let them catch them.
The biggest question facing Mu Linfeng at this moment is to know who this fake Xiong Wencan is, and what is the purpose of coming here? If he wanted to assassinate him, he could do it when he received the imperial edict. Could it be that he wanted to sneak into Yangzhou?
Other attempts failed?
And if these two things were true, Mu Linfeng didn't think it was a big deal, because after all, he had experienced an assassination before, and it was not surprising that there were still survivors.
What really worries Mu Linfeng is that this fake Xiong Wencan is not a person of Long Qingfeng, Long Qingyun, nor a person from Japan, nor a person sent by the imperial court, but one of his own, so he will be in big trouble.
