Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 211
"The embezzlement of disaster relief money, and planting it on my elder brother's head. It can not only hide your misappropriation, but also eliminate dissidents. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. You are really shrewd!"

"I also heard before that there was a young official who was addicted to gambling, but I thought it was just a rumor made out of nothing. I never thought that it would be you!"

After Mu Changge finished speaking, Li Yuanfan's expression changed completely, "I misunderstood Mr. Mu, I was in a hurry, but you shouldn't have such a heart of revenge, talk nonsense, and want to frame me!"

"Your Majesty." Mu Changge's expression was solemn, "I implore Your Majesty to issue an order immediately to search the Taifu's mansion and investigate this matter to the bottom. This can be regarded as an explanation to the people who are waiting for the court to rescue them!"

Grand Tutor Li shook his beard, "Your Majesty, the old minister's family has been loyal and good for generations, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing that chills the Emperor. If the Emperor has doubts—"

"Taifu Zhongliang, I always know it well." Before he finished speaking, the emperor opened his mouth slowly.

Taifu Li relaxed his mind a little, and was about to thank him, but heard the emperor say: "But, if this matter is ignored, when rumors spread, it is hard to guarantee that the Taifu will not be slandered."

As soon as these words came out, Taifu Li's heart sank heavily again.

The meaning of the emperor is already very clear, if he tries to stop him again, what else can he explain besides the word "guilty"?

Li Yuanfan felt chills in his heart, his intuition was not good, but this matter has completely deviated from his plan...

After half an hour.

Li Fu.

When they entered, the guards outside the warehouse were still guarding the fifty wooden boxes that had not been removed.

Seeing that the emperor came back with Li Taifu and others, the guards were a little confused.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Back to the second young master, the younger ones are all watching carefully, and there is nothing unusual."

Hearing this, Li Yuanfan's heart just fell to the ground, and he waved his hand frankly, "Open all the boxes!"

Although they stumbled at Mu Hongyu, it would not be so easy for Mu Changge and the others to fight back.

Li Mansion is heavily guarded, it is impossible for them to tamper with here!As for why there was an extra 1 taels in Mu Hongyu's place, at worst it would become a messy account, and neither the left nor the right could be accounted for.

The guard seemed a little puzzled why he had to open it suddenly, but he obeyed the order.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the box, Li Yuanfan looked very calm and calm, only heard a weak "squeak--" After that, the calm expression immediately shattered on Li Yuanfan's face--

"Empty, empty!? How could it be empty!?"

The guard's face was ashen, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

Li Yuanfan just felt dizzy for a while, as if someone had slapped him hard.

The emperor's gaze suddenly changed slightly.

Li Ziyan protruded his neck subconsciously, his expression froze in an instant, subconsciously held down Taifu Li with one hand, his tongue agape.

"How could it...it can't be empty!" Li Yuanfan flicked his sleeve vigorously, and said fiercely, "Open it! Open the rest for me too!"

"Yes, Second Young Master!" The guard also panicked, and the hand holding the key trembled unavoidably.

After a while, all fifty boxes were opened and spread neatly on the ground.Without exception, there are empty shells left.

There was a buzzing in Li Yuanfan's head, and he almost couldn't stand still.

The empty boxes in front of him seemed to turn into bottomless black holes, trying to swallow him up.

"Where's the official bank..." Li Yuanfan's eyes wandered, and there was a mass of broken pieces, he grabbed the guard's lapel tightly, and growled like crazy, "Where is the official bank that you are guarding!"

He was so strong that he pulled the guard down and stumbled, only to see the guard's face full of panic, "I don't know, I don't know! The second young master told the little ones to keep an eye on these boxes, and the little ones never dared to take a step away." , I really don’t know what official money is!”

"Impossible! Impossible!" Li Yuanfan's eyes were densely covered with dark red blood, "The official banker should be there! Who, who is it!? Who colluded with others to harm me!?"

Li Yuanfan has always been an elegant scholar, with a calm and relaxed appearance, but now he is suddenly insane.

Li Ziyan's heart trembled, and he instinctively wanted to go forward, but was stared back by Mrs. Li's eyes, not daring to make any further claims.

"Who the hell is it? Who wants to harm me!?" Li Yuanfan's eyes implied a trace of horror, and he swept across the crowd angrily, and the moment he met Mu Changge's clear eyes, he heard her cold shout.

"Who is it that wants to harm others? Why does Master Li pretend to be innocent and deceive himself and others!?"

Not afraid of Li Yuanfan's eyes like a trapped animal, Mu Changge took a step forward with a calm tone.

"Isn't it clear enough about today's matter!? Mr. Li has an unclear relationship with the gambling house, so he intends to take advantage of the opportunity to frame it, so that he can use some method to steal the money, so that the elder brother can be your scapegoat! "

"As for the shopkeeper of the casino..." Mu Changge sneered, "It must be because Mr. Li revealed his identity and threatened and lured him, so that person had to come forward and turned black and white!"

"Stealing disaster relief money for yourself is a crime worthy of death. You are so bold that you want to frame your colleagues and deceive the emperor! My lord Li has such courage, I never thought of it!"

Mu Changge's expression became more and more fierce, and finally he knelt on his knees, "Your Majesty, now that right and wrong have been decided, please punish this disloyal person severely!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Changge's words fell to the ground, he heard Mu Hongyu reprimanded, "Whoever allows you to be so bold, you dare to point fingers at the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, this little girl doesn't understand the rules, so please forgive me." Mu Hongyu also knelt on the ground respectfully, "The emperor has his own reasons for how the emperor should deal with it. There is absolutely no need to think that the minister has been wronged, so he must Seriously, my lord."

The emperor subtly pressed the eyebrows, "Mu Aiqing is magnanimous."

"I don't dare to be magnanimous, but... as long as I think about it, several generations of the Li family have devoted themselves to the imperial court, and they have worked hard for the imperial court, so that today's Grand Tutor's Mansion is established."

"If I have to be eager to ask for something in return for the grievances I have suffered, what about the hardships that the ancestors of the Li family and even the Taifu have suffered for the sake of the stability and prosperity of Bai'an?"

Mu Hongyu frowned, every word and every word was extremely sincere.Only out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mu Changge quietly and very quickly.

However, these words, which sounded full of protective meaning, made Li Taifu and others feel frosty in an instant.

The emperor's expression was even more meaningful at this moment.

Seeing the slight change in the emperor's eyes, the corners of Mu Changge's lips twitched slightly.

She knew that Li Yuanfan's time had come.

Mrs. Li's face was already pale, and Mrs. Li, who was always calm, unexpectedly trembled unconsciously.

"Please, Your Majesty, if you can listen to the old minister—"

"You don't need to talk about it, Tai Tuo." The emperor waved his hand, but there was no ripples on his face, but there was a touch of daunting chill.

"I also never imagined that such a scandal would happen in the Taifu's house. The Taifu has worked hard for Bai'an these years, and I have seen it all. But I never thought that my kindness would be magnanimous. Such a pampered person!"

"If I still want to let him go for the sake of the Taifu today, how will I explain to the other loyal ministers!?"

After all, the emperor did not wait for Taifu Li's reaction, and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Come here! Take it down for me, and behead it for public display at noon tomorrow! No one is allowed to intercede. If anyone dares to intercede for him, he will be beheaded together!"

Behead! ?
He will be beheaded! ?

Li Yuanfan froze on the spot, feeling a bone-chilling chill all over his body.

How could this be... Isn't the emperor always treating the Li family kindly! ?

"emperor……"

Seeing that someone had already stepped forward to take Li Yuanfan down, Li Ziyan's forehead showed bruises, and on impulse, he rushed out to cry for grievances.

Although Taifu Li was extremely distressed, he was still on guard. With a look in his eyes, people around him rushed over quietly and held Li Ziyan down firmly, so that he could not move, let alone make any noise.

"You are wronged... Your Majesty! The subject is wronged!" Li Yuanfan cried out heartbreakingly, but no matter how much he yelled, the emperor's expression remained unchanged.

After Li Yuanfan's shrill cry disappeared completely, the emperor looked at Mu Hongyu again.

"Mu Aiqing was almost wronged this time, and she was frightened a lot. For the disaster relief, the money can be paid first. It will not be too late for Mu Aiqing to recuperate for three to five days before leaving."

After saying these few words, the emperor left Taifu's mansion.

Mu Hongyu and the others also followed closely behind, and after sending the emperor off, they returned to the Mu residence.

On the way, Mu Hongyu and Mu Changge got into the same carriage, and when the carriage started to rattle away, Mu Hongyu, who was expressionless before, immediately got up, and asked Mu Changge to pay his respects seriously. go down.

"Impossible!" Mu Changge quickly reached out to help, "Brother, what are you doing? But I'm going to break Changge."

"Second sister can afford this obeisance." Mu Hongyu said solemnly, "If it wasn't for my second sister's cleverness, the person who would be arrested and beheaded today would be me. Why can't my second sister afford this obeisance?" gone?"

Mu Changge smiled, "Speaking of which, it's thanks to my eldest brother for being able to make up his mind, otherwise, no matter how many clever tricks I have in my pocket, they will still be useless in the end."

When the word "determination" was mentioned, Mu Hongyu's expression darkened slightly, and he deliberately concealed his unhappiness, and said: "Today is really dangerous, even if it's just a wrong step, you and I can only live together Under Huang Quan, we will be brothers and sisters again."

"It's just that there is one thing that I still don't understand, and I have to ask my second sister to explain it to me."
