Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Something suddenly broke through the window paper, flew over, and knocked the dagger in Mu You's hand to the ground.

Yin Shun was startled and turned around, and the tip of the knife just brushed his nose and fell off.

"General! You..." Yin Shun's face turned pale.

A sense of panic surged in Mu You's heart.

He wanted to rush out and escape from this place, but the door suddenly opened. Gu Xu flew in, and Mu You saw this and immediately realized that what happened tonight was a scam.

He exchanged a few moves with Gu Xu, but found that this man's attacks were fierce and ruthless. In an instant, he was hit on the jaw, felt dizzy, and spit out blood.

Gu Xu kicked him to his knees. Several people dressed as Donglin Guards rushed in from outside and arrested Mu You.

Yin Shun was also restrained. He seemed to be still immersed in the shock of Mu You's attempt to kill him and silence him.

"General Mu, I didn't expect that those things in Ganzhou were really done by you." Qin Zhaoyue walked in from outside.

"Oh? What evidence do you have? Just the people you brought with you?" Mu You spat and laughed, "I don't know where this wild boy came from, but he dared to beat up an official of the imperial court! Let me go!"

"General Mu just admitted it himself, why is he turning his back on it now?" Qin Zhaoyue raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"Admit it? I don't remember saying that." Mu You stared at him hatefully, "Are those two guards also your men?"

Qin Zhaoyue did not answer, but turned to Yin Shun who was kneeling on the side and said, "Yin Shun, what do you want to say?"

Yin Shun stared at Mu You blankly.

He seemed to be in deep thought for a while, then shouted: "Your Highness! I don't know what you are talking about. I am not Yin Shun! In the matter of Ganzhou, General Mu was used by others..."

Mu You turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

He wanted to kill him, so why did he...

"You are a loyal servant, General Mu, but you have disappointed others." Qin Zhaoyue said with a smile.

Yin Shun put his forehead to the ground and said, "Everything I said is true!"

Mu You also took the opportunity to say, "Prince! How can you slander me without any evidence?"

Qin Zhaoyue shook his head.

"Yin Shun, that is, Mu Dayou, colluded with the Left King of Xidi and intended to murder the crown prince. He also used addictive poisons to control the iron officials of the Pinghu gold mine, and persecuted local wealthy businessmen to hoard tens of thousands of gold and silver. And you, Mu You, came here late at night to meet Yin Shun, and you also wanted to kill him to prevent him from telling the truth. If I insist that you, General Mu, are innocent, it will be hard to convince everyone."

Mu You smiled: "So what? Only you heard the conversation just now, and you, Qin Zhaoyue, have been trying to get rid of the fifth prince for a long time. Do you think the emperor will listen to your one-sided words?"

Qin Zhaoyue was silent.

He turned around and clasped his hands toward the open door: "Please let your Majesty decide."

"What?!" Mu You trembled violently and looked outside the door with wide eyes.

The emperor, dressed in casual clothes, walked in slowly with a complicated expression.

The entire royal villa has been surrounded by the imperial guards.

"Your Majesty..." Mu You's face was filled with fear.

"Xiaowu has always been sensible and reasonable. For his sake, I don't want to believe everything the prince said." The emperor's eyes were full of disappointment. "Muyou, I have high hopes for you, but you did such a treasonous thing. How can Xiaowu deal with it?"

"Your Majesty...I, I did not..."

The Emperor threw a stack of letters in front of him.

"Your correspondence with the Left King is all here. Do you still want to refute it?" The emperor said coldly, "The private army you just mentioned has been surrounded by the Northern Qin Army. Your arsenal in Xidi has also been exposed long ago. The money and food inside are all evidence. What else do you have to say!"

Mu You looked desperate. He shouted, "Your Majesty! I have been following you since you ascended the throne, and have been guarding the border for decades! Xiaowu is your favorite prince, and you are punishing me for treason. What should Xiaowu do?"

The emperor said nothing.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "General Mu just asked who the guard at the door belongs to."

"What?" Mu You raised his head.

The emperor said, "Xiao Wu told them to report any movement immediately. You came to see this man tonight, and I immediately got the news from him."

Mu You looked incredulous.

The emperor sighed, "He is more sensible than you, his grandfather."

"I don't believe it!" Mu You shouted, "Your Majesty clearly prefers Chen'er to the Crown Prince, and has clearly been suppressing the Crown Prince with the intention of supporting Chen'er to take the throne, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards are here, and with one order from you, you can immediately kill the Crown Prince and support Xiaowu as the heir. Your most favored son is the one who calls the shots in this world, Your Majesty!"

Everyone present frowned.

There was doubt in Gu Xu's eyes. He looked at Mu You, and then at Yin Shun, who was distraught and silent with his head down.

Mu You is a person...

"Nonsense." The emperor's expression remained calm.

He looked at Gu Xu who was standing solemnly with his hands down, and said, "You did a good job, but you should also take this as a warning."

Gu Xu said: "Yes."

The three of them walked out of the narrow room, and the imperial guards rushed into the room, ready to take Mu You and Yin Shun to the sky prison.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "This strategy is also thanks to Lord Dun Xin."

"Oh?" The emperor glanced at Qin Zhaoyue: "I thought this was arranged by Gu Xu."

"Lord Dunxin is Gu Xu's think tank. If it weren't for him, I might have died in Ganzhou." Qin Zhaoyue said.

"If it was his plan, why isn't he here?" The emperor looked at Gu Xu again.

Gu Xu's face looked bad and he seemed unhappy.

"Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses." Qin Zhaoyue said with a smile, "Although Lord Dun Xin is smart, he lacks in martial arts. In order not to hinder us, he did not come here."

Mu Youzheng, who was dragged out of the house, heard these words. He stared at Qin Zhaoyue, then looked at Gu Xu.

Dun Xinbo...

"Father, do you want to meet this person?"

"Of course. When all these things are settled, I will ask the Queen to hold a family banquet." The emperor raised his hand and said, "It is not necessary now."

"Then Xiaowu..."

"He has made a meritorious report. I will not punish them mother and son," said the emperor.

"Thank you, father!" Qin Zhaoyue was very happy and replied with a fist salute.

……

Gu Xu seemed to be busy with Mu You's affairs and had not returned to the bookstore for several days.

Gu Yue felt a little relieved just by looking at the people from Wumen who were protecting him in the yard. These people looked relaxed and not nervous, which meant that everything was developing in a good direction.

The first thing to come back was the imperial edict conferring titles and rewards.

Gu Yue couldn't make any special arrangements now. The imperial edict was for him, and he had to kneel.

Just kneel down, after all he is the emperor.

The content of the imperial edict was concise and to the point. The gist of it was that Gu Dashi and his adopted son Gu Xu had made contributions in the Ganzhou case and were named Duke of Dunxin. They were given a house, manpower, and gold. In addition, perhaps considering that Gu Dashi was a rough man who didn't know any rules, the emperor even arranged an auspicious day for moving, waiting for Gu Yue to pack up and move in.
