Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 175
The night is deep and everything is still.

The sound of pattering rain and rustling wind is very obvious at this moment.

Hear it clearly.

Dahei curled up and lay down at Muli's feet to sleep.

The dim candlelight illuminates this small room, Mu Li is holding a medical book in his hand, reading it with gusto.

Wei Yan turned over and lay on her side facing Muli, staring at her focused profile, thinking of how fiercely Muli fought with those Beidi people during the day, she couldn't help shouting: "A Li."

"Huh?" Mu Li, still staring at the medical book, hummed casually.

Wei Yan moved her body in her direction, her eyes were fixed on her focused profile all the time.

"Where did you learn Kung Fu, why is it so powerful?"

"It's stronger than some of the big inner guards in the palace."

Mu Li pinched a corner of the page, clattered, and turned another page.

"It's just brute force, I don't know martial arts." Mu Li said lightly.

"How is it possible?" Wei Yan was surprised, obviously not convinced, she crawled out from under the thin quilt, leaned against the bedpost, and looked at her: "Your movements are so agile, and your foot is so steady, you can see that you have practiced."

Dahei was woken up by that scream, and opened his eyes suddenly in fright. After being dazed for a while, he closed his eyes lazily after making sure the surroundings were quiet.

"I'm not lying to you." Mu Li replied casually.

Then she turned her head to look at Wei Yan: "Have you seen the Ouchi guards in the palace?"

Wei Yan's eyes dodged, and he spoke hesitantly: "Listen, I've heard of it."

"Well, isn't my family in business? My father has been to the palace, and he told me about it after he came back."

"Oh." Mu Li responded perfunctorily, as if she was not interested in this, she turned her attention to the medical book again.

Wei Yan looked at her secretly, seeing that she did not become suspicious of her words, he was relieved.

She said: "When you fought with those four Beidi people today, were you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

"Why? They look so big and scary. You didn't see Mrs. Meng. You were so scared that you almost got under the car."

"I'm strong, but they can't beat me."

Mu Liyun was calm and breezy, and his tone seemed to be talking about the good weather today.

Wei Yan said: "They are very cruel, and their methods are cruel. My father said that many ordinary people were bullied by them in the past. These people either died or were maimed. It was very scary."

Mu Li's eyes dimmed when he read the book, and when he thought of the 35 innocent people who died at their hands, his voice turned cold several degrees: "Then I've given them a lot of money."

……

County government.

In the second hall.

Mo Zhennan's face was full of sadness, with an ugly expression of wanting to cry or not.

Why is he so unlucky?
The family members of 35 victims have just been resettled, and the days have not been better for a few days, and now such a big event has come again.

It's not that Mo Zhennan is afraid of trouble, but that he is afraid that the emperor will suspect him because of this.

Chen Xiao looked serious, and unconsciously tapped the armrest of the chair with his right index finger. Mo Zhennan saw that he had been here for half an hour, and he didn't say a word. He felt anxious.

"Heng, think of a way for Uncle Mo, what should I do?"

Chen Xiao stopped, looked at him and said, "Report the truth to the court."

Mo Zhennan wept bitterly: "These people don't know when they were lurking in Anling County. What if the emperor offends me again?"

"It's small if you lose your black hat, but if you lose your head, it's big."

The wind made the windows rattle, the candles flickered, and a lot of drizzle was blown in, bringing a lot of humidity into the room.

Chen Xiao got up and came to the window, letting the drizzle hit his face, his dark eyes looked out at the endless night outside the window, his eyes were sharp, like a dormant cheetah, he said in a cold voice: "Uncle Mo, this matter cannot be kept secret." Yes, the emperor will know sooner or later, if the emperor finds out that you deliberately concealed it and did not report it, the consequences will be disastrous."

"As for your concerns." He turned his head to look at him, the dim candlelight was flickering on his body, half of Chen Xiao's face was hidden in the darkness, his expression was unclear.

He said lightly: "You don't need to worry about your life."

Mo Zhennan almost cried with joy: "Really? The emperor really won't kill me because of this?"

Chen Xiao nodded lightly.

Not only would the emperor not kill Mo Zhennan, but he would also count him as a great meritorious service and reward him heavily.

You must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly went south to Anling County, and it was at the order of the Emperor to investigate whether there was a hiding place for Beidi people, but he did not expect that the Crown Prince hurried back to Beijing before anyone was found.

As for whether the emperor would suspect that Mo Zhennan had colluded with them, and even became the umbrella of these people to run amok in the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was not impossible.

However, the only living Beidi man had his tongue pulled out and lost his voice, which made it impossible for the emperor to know how long these people had been lurking in Beidi?
Did they hibernate here a long time ago, or did they enter the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty along with the Beidi envoys?
These are all uncertain.

But what is certain is that there are suspicions, but as long as Mo Zhennan can explain everything clearly, his suspicions can also be removed.

Mo Zhennan frowned, thoughtful.

Ah-Heng has a very good personal relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, and according to his observation, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to listen to Ah-Heng's words very much. Now that even Ah-Heng knows about this, it means that His Highness the Crown Prince must also know about it. It will be spread to the ears of the emperor, if he chooses to conceal it at this time, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

At that time, when the emperor asked, he couldn't tell even if he had ten mouths.

In addition, based on his relationship with Ah Heng, and the relationship between Ah Heng and His Highness the Crown Prince, even if the Emperor really said something, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely intercede for him in front of the Emperor.

Now, invisibly, the three of them have become grasshoppers in a line.

Mo Zhennan was extremely excited.

How can he and the prince become a grasshopper on the same line.

After figuring it out, Mo Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief.

The brows were also slowly stretched.

Chen Xiaofu sat back on the huanghuali wood chair, his eyes clear.

"Uncle Mo, what can you find from these people?"

"Such as correspondence?"

Mo Zhennan shook his head: "I sent people to search them several times, but nothing was found."

"And that mute, no matter what we asked him, he always pretended to ignore us. I asked him to write down what he wanted to explain, but he refused."

"Now I really can't take him off."

Chen Xiao sneered: "Then let him spend his whole life in prison. Uncle Mo remember to send someone to take good care of him."

After saying this, he stood up and cupped his hands: "Uncle Mo, it's getting late, I should go back."

"You remember to report this matter to the emperor."

……

The rain outside did not know when it stopped. After Chen Xiao came out from the yamen, he walked to the academy along the way he came.

When he reached a street, he suddenly stopped and said coldly, "Come out."

A gust of wind blew flatly, making the night tense.

A phantom came out from the darkness. The person who came was wearing a mask and was tall and tall.

Behind him was a man also wearing a mask.
