Five years later, he blew up the palace with a miniature version of the regent

Chapter 463 Involving the Mu Family
"Isn't this the token of Mu Shangshu's mansion?"

Some people couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

In an instant, Concubine Mu and her father Mu Zhongwei turned pale.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what a great injustice, I don't even know why the token of my house is on the thief."

Mu Zhongwei hurried over and knelt down, kowtow to explain.

"Mu Shangshu, are you sure that you really have nothing to do with those assassins?"

Feng Yili stared at Mu Zhongwei with downcast eyes, his voice was cold, and his body was full of coercion that made people breathless.

Mu Zhongwei was sweating all the time.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with difficulty: "Then, that's natural, why would my lord want to murder Prince Youshan's son?"

"That's right, our Mu family and Youshan Palace have no grievances or enmities, and we will not harm anyone. I don't know where the regent found the token of our Mu family, so he came to frame us."

Concubine Mu said in a sharp voice at this time.

Her eyes dodge a little.

They all knew that this matter... really had something to do with their Mu family.

Back then, the emperor regarded Youshan Palace as a thorn in his side, so he wanted to kill Li Chengan.

But the emperor wanted to be a wise king in the eyes of the people, so he couldn't do anything to Li Cheng'an openly.

Therefore, they took advantage of the disaster in Yuzhou to incite public grievances, making it difficult for Youshan Palace.

In the end, Li Chengan was led to the disaster area to attack him.

It is difficult for the emperor to mobilize too many imperial guards, so he asked his father to find someone.

It is estimated that the token fell into Feng Yili's hands at that time.

They must never admit it!

"Really? But as far as this king knows, there are no more than five tokens in the Mu Mansion, and they are all used to give orders at important times." Feng Yili sneered.

Soon, he took out a medicine and said in a cold voice: "Although this assassin has been poisoned and dumb, this king's medicine can make him speak again."

So amazing?

Many people looked over with inquiring eyes.

In front of them, Feng Yili threw the pill into the mouth of the assassin.

The assassin coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate our lord?" Jiang Ying asked angrily.

The assassin gritted his teeth, unwilling to speak.

"Do you think your wife and children will be fine if you don't tell me?" Suddenly, Feng Yili used his internal force to transmit sound.

what?
The assassin suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Feng Yili in fear.

"In the yard with sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the east of the city, your two sons are quite sensible." Feng Yili continued to transmit his internal force.

The assassin's body trembled violently.

"I said, I said, I am the Royal Forest Army, and I only obey my master's orders." He said quickly.

Only obey his master's orders?

Isn't that... what the emperor did?
A lot of strange eyes secretly looked at Chu Zai.

This thing is too messy, too messy.

what is the problem?

Chu Zai's eyes darkened again, feeling like a storm was about to come.

He gave the hidden guard who was hiding in the dark a look, hoping that the other party would kill the Imperial Forest Army without hesitation.

But at this time, Feng Yili began to interrogate.

"Tell me, who is your master? Are you sure that the emperor personally gave you the order?"

Him, what does he mean?
There was confusion in the man's eyes.

Suddenly, he saw Feng Yili casually holding up the token of the Mu family.

He gritted his teeth, and quickly changed his words: "No, although I am the Imperial Forest Army, there are many Imperial Forest Army in the imperial city, and we are not qualified to see the emperor. Yes, it was Lord Mu who came to find us personally, saying that the emperor let you die, So let's do it."

what?
Is Master Mu conveying the emperor's will to kill him?

Everyone seemed to be watching a big show, not to mention how surprised they looked.

"Ridiculous, how is it possible? My lord has never seen you, how can I give you an order!"

Mu Zhongwei said with a grim expression.

"What is this?" Feng Yili suddenly took out a bag from the man.

When it was poured out, there was a piece of gold with a special shape inside.

"Hey, isn't this gold rewarded by the emperor to the Seventh Prince?"

Someone was shocked.

Last year, it was Chuyuemu's birthday, and Concubine Mu was favored at that time, so Chuzai asked Hubu to make a box of gold similar to Chuyuemu's zodiac sign.

At that time, many people were still very emotional, saying that the emperor doted on his mother = Concubine Mu and the seventh prince.

"How can you have this kind of gold on your body?" Feng Yili asked quietly.

It's not on him!
The man's face was pale.

But he quickly realized that it was Feng Yili who put it on him.

He quickly bit the bullet and said, "Master Mu rewarded me with this."

"Impossible, how dare you slander me, I want to kill you!"

Mu Zhongwei was angry and anxious, so he wanted to rush over and pinch the opponent's neck.

"I'm still here, Mu Zhongwei, do you still want to kill someone to silence me?"

Chu Rui went up and kicked Mu Zhongwei hard on the heart.

"No, the Supreme Emperor. I don't know why this traitor has this kind of gold on him. He must want to frame me."

Mu Zhongwei kowtowed in panic to deny it.

"That's right, Grandfather, this assassin must have stolen my gold."

Chu Yuemu also knew that the situation was serious, so he hurried over to explain.

But at this time, Chu Rui's hidden guards came from the main hall next to him.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates found these things from those corpses."

Soon, a "Mu" family token and a few pieces of gold spread out in the palm of his hand.

be quiet, be quiet...

The atmosphere is very quiet...

There is even a weird atmosphere pervading.

"Mu Zhongwei, what do you have to argue about? You want to assassinate the emperor, and you also want to assassinate Feng Yili. I'm afraid that Cheng An's death back then may have something to do with you."

Chu Rui kicked Mu Zhongwei hard again.

Mu Zhongwei's eyes turned black from the pain, but he was still holding on.

He cried and pleaded: "The Supreme Emperor spared his life, the Supreme Emperor spared his life, the minister really did nothing, this is absolutely wronged."

"Injustice, with all the witnesses and material evidence, can you still be innocent?" Chu Rui was so angry that his heart ached, and he wished he could kill Mu Zhongwei right now.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the embarrassed Chu Yuemu beside him.

He asked in a cold voice: "I heard that the gold was given to you by your father. And Mu Zhongwei is also your grandfather, so, these things... Did you know about it and not report it, or did you participate in it?"

After saying these words, Concubine Mu and Mu Zhongwei's heads buzzed.

"No, the Supreme Emperor, the Seventh Prince didn't know anything. It was all done by the old minister. It was the old minister who was confused and falsely passed on the emperor's will to let the imperial forest army murder the regent. The old minister was ambitious and killed the son of King Youshan in order to seize military power. Assassinate the emperor, It’s also about hiding the truth.”

Mu Zhongwei hurriedly kowtowed and embraced everything on him.

Concubine Mu's face was full of panic, and she didn't dare to intercede anymore.

If this matter only involved her father, it would be the death of the Mu family.

But if Mu'er was involved, they would all be ruined.

"Emperor, what do you think of this matter? Do you think the murderer is the Mu family, or someone else?"

Chu Rui turned to stare at Chu Zai, and asked with restrained anger.
