Jiang Yanyun spoke with such certainty that the four people at the table suddenly fell into deep thought, with great shock in their minds impacting their cognition.

The storyteller obviously resonated with the story and sighed, "What's the use? The poor don't fight the rich, and the rich don't fight the officials. The higher the official, the more powerful he is. How can we ordinary people get justice?"

Jiang Yanyun deliberately lowered his head after listening to this, and then said, "That's true, but I think the general may not just be abusing his power for personal gain or seeking fame and fortune..."

Her tone paused noticeably, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became filled with conspiracy.

The four of them looked at each other, and saw the shocking truth in each other's eyes.

The storyteller looked around, hooked his finger into his palm, and called the others to come over. Then he whispered to Jiang Yanyun, "Could it be that you mean..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't utter them. His brows were tightly knitted together, and he looked shocked and frightened, even though he was a man.

Jiang Yanyun nodded in understanding and added, "You all are frequent visitors to the capital. A few days ago, some common people shouted at the city gate, 'Mu's army! When did the emperor's army become named Mu? They are so bold and their ambitions are obvious!"

The four of them gasped. The people who suffered the most during the change of dynasties were the common people like them.

Jiang Yanyun was still talking in an exaggerated manner, and was in high spirits, not noticing anyone approaching her table.

"The great general is so righteous that you villains cannot make rash conclusions and make irresponsible statements behind his back!"

A clear male voice came from outside the four people.

Mu Luan looked up and saw a tall figure with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a dignified appearance.

Although his facial features are cold, he has a scholarly temperament.

People would mistakenly believe that this handsome man is only good at talking about war on paper and has never been stained with blood.

A deep meaning flashed across Mu Luan's eyes. The moment he saw her, she stood up and, protected by Yun He, retreated to a corner, hiding her figure well in the crowd.

Jiang Yanyun's expression was obviously paused. She didn't expect someone else to interrupt. Her eyes flashed and she looked at the man and said, "As the saying goes, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. How much benefit did this little brother get from the General's Mansion that he is so protective of him."

The man's face darkened and he shouted coldly: "How dare you!"

His voice was so loud that it instantly attracted the attention of everyone around him.

The lively atmosphere gradually calmed down with the movement here.

Everyone looked over to watch the fun.

"You said that Qiao Fugui had made great contributions in saving the emperor, but almost no one knew about it. Since so few people knew about it, how did you, a waiter in a restaurant, know about it?"

The man had a dignified look on his face, his sharp hooked nose was very eye-catching, and he looked old-fashioned and strict in his dark brown robe.

Jiang Yanyun didn't recognize this person and thought he was just a fool who was standing up for the General's Mansion.

Looking around, she saw more and more people gathering around. Since things had come to this, she didn't mind starting the fire today.

She raised her chin, the fat on her face trembled, and said impatiently: "My aunt and Qiao Fugui were old acquaintances. She said that this is what Qiao Fugui said when he was alive."

Mu Luan had a mocking look on his face. This Jiang Yanyun was even more amazing than a storyteller.

They fabricated stories out of nothing and created uncle and aunt. When asked about the reason, they blamed the dead Qiao Fugui, and there was no evidence to prove the truth.

The man's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "In that case, then take me to see your aunt, and call your uncle by the way, and I will make a thorough judgment on Qiao Fugui's unjust case!"

Jiang Yanyun couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. He stood up from the chair and shook his head, saying, "Who are you?"

"You..." The man glared at her, and then she continued to talk to herself, "It is true that Mu Sinian raises private soldiers, otherwise why would the refugees outside the city gate call the Mu family's army the Mu family army.

Qiao Fugui was instrumental in saving the emperor, and his concubines and children all knew about it. Once asked, they knew that Mu Sinian was ambitious, proud of his achievements, and had a lot of troops. He would be a threat to the Great Zhou sooner or later. "

She talked incessantly, but she didn't notice that since the man in front of her appeared, the four men who were originally standing in line with her had remained silent.

The storyteller even winked at her intentionally and wanted to pull at the corner of Jiang Yanyun's clothes.

She was completely unaware and even acted indignant. "I am speaking up for Qiao Fugui and I am also worried about us ordinary people. Mu Sinian has evil intentions. What do you think? Should we investigate him thoroughly?"

There were subtle discussions among the onlookers, some about herself, some about Mu Sinian, and some were even talking about the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice?

Before Jiang Yanyun could hear the content clearly, someone in the crowd spoke up, "You monkey who jumped out of nowhere, we all saw the general providing porridge and setting up shelters outside the city gate to help the refugees. The so-called Mu Family Army was just a slip of the tongue, but now you are using it as a handle. What do you want to do?"

"That's right, he's talking nonsense. The Minister should arrest him."

Jiang Yanyun then realized that the situation was a little delicate. Not only did she fail to throw dirty water on the General's Mansion, but she seemed to have gotten herself into trouble.

What made her even more uneasy was that the voices in the crowd shouting "Minister" were getting louder and louder.

No, something is wrong with the situation today. It will be troublesome if we attract government officials here!

She subconsciously wanted to sneak out of Yuemanlou.

But as soon as he moved his feet, three or four yamen runners with swords on their waists surrounded him instantly.

Jiang Yanyun was panicked for a moment. Why did a yamen runner appear here?

Before she could resist, she was grabbed by the shoulders from both sides.

At this time, the man in front of him slowly showed the token in his hand and said, "I am Gu Chengfeng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. You have wrongly accused the general of murder without any evidence. Do you know the consequences?"

Jiang Yanyun suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the man who claimed to be the Minister of Justice.

I didn't expect that after finally getting out of the general's mansion, I didn't get anything done and I even hit a hard wall. I suddenly felt my blood boiling and I felt dizzy.

But she didn't dare to faint, and she struggled and yelled at Gu Chengfeng: "Who said I don't have evidence? Qiao Fugui's death is the evidence, and Doctor Lin under the west corridor can prove it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent for a moment, until someone asked in surprise, "Why did the voice suddenly become a woman's?"

Gu Chengfeng frowned slightly and glanced at the yamen runner beside him.

The bailiff immediately stepped forward to check, and quickly tore off the fake beard on Jiang Yanyun's face.

Suddenly, there was another gasp, "It's actually a woman!"

"Hey, why does this person look so familiar... Oh, now I remember, isn't this the woman, Qiao Fugui's inner room?"
