"You don't even know who the murderer is, yet you dare to ask me for help. You also let these people help you find the murderer directly. Are you just hoping for chaos in the world?"

"It's convenient for the Queen's people to investigate cases." When the imperial city issued an order, blood flowed like a river. Didn't he know that? It was the Queen's people who had the power of deterrence.

"You know that the ministers outside are all panicking right now. If you bring my people to visit them for no reason, not only will we not be able to solve the case, but it will also make everyone nervous. If the court is in turmoil, wouldn't that be exactly what the traitor wants?"

"Is it really that serious?"

"What else? If you are the one investigating a case, then you can bring the people from the Military Education Department to visit every suspicious person's home. Then what is the use of the Dali Temple?"

"This..." is indeed a good idea, but he didn't dare to say it.

"You are not investigating the case and looking for the murderer. You are bringing shame to the Mu family and your father! You can't even produce evidence. You just bring people to interrogate and scare them. Are you really smart?"

".......Your Majesty is teaching me that I was not thoughtful enough." Mu Yunzhou lowered his head. He was indeed reckless.

Shen Qiuchi saw that Mu Yunzhou had to explain everything to her in detail before she understood. He was so brainless and stupid. Her Qingxu's brain had been a little slower than before recently, and it must have been affected by this idiot.

She then had Mu Yunzhou kicked out. He was really a hopeless case. Her sister was actually very smart and could remember everything after being told once.

It seems that apart from Prime Minister Mu, there is no one in the Mu family who is smart or clear-headed. The Mu family still can't understand why their family has fallen into decline. The younger generations in the family have been brought up to be foolish and are at a loss what to do when faced with problems. It would be strange if the family was not in decline.

Thinking of that group of troublesome people in the Shen family, Shen Qiuchi felt uncomfortable. The Mu family and the Shen family were originally their strongest supporters. Now the Shen family is doing okay with the help of three or four officials in the court. As for the Mu family, except for Prime Minister Mu and his eldest son, everyone else is just muddling along.

Mei Qing came in and saw Shen Qingxu writing something on a piece of paper. Her handwriting was sloppy, indicating that she was in a very irritable mood. She didn't know if it was because of the hot summer weather or because she was distracted by the things around her.

Seeing that his approach with the Queen was not going to work, Mu Yunzhou hurried to the Lin Residence. Knowing that Lin Shuyao had returned to the capital from Kangzhou yesterday, he had more expectations. Except for his uncle, grandmother, and Lin Shuyao, no one else in the Lin family was close to him.

When he arrived at the Lin residence, he asked someone to report it immediately. When the servant saw that it was Mu Yunzhou, he nonchalantly refused: "Miss Shuyao has gone out, Master Mu, please go back."

"I clearly saw Shuyao's maid go in through the side door. Are you kidding me? Hurry up and report it. You have delayed my business and I will make you pay for it."

"Master Mu, our Miss Shuyao is now the apple of Old Lady Lin's eye. How can you just meet her whenever you want?"

"Why shouldn't I see it?" Mu Yunzhou was extremely anxious. Seeing the young man rubbing his hands, it looked like he wanted to ask him for money.

So he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it into the servant's hand. The servant took the money and then slowly went in to report.

After an incense stick, Lin Shuyao came over with her maid. Mu Yunzhou said, "Shuyao, can you lend me your secret guard to investigate the case?"

"Cousin, do you want to borrow the secret guard to investigate the case?"

Mu Yunzhou explained his purpose to Lin Shuyao and wanted her to lend him the secret guard. Having more manpower would be helpful to help him solve the case.

Lin Shuyao said that she had no say in the matter, because the secret guards did not listen to her at all, but only to their master. She couldn't get rid of them when she went out to play, let alone lend them to others!

"Cousin, why are you so anxious to find out the truth? You know it's all..."

"Alas, my parents' bodies are still in the hands of the emperor. If we don't find out the truth, they won't be able to rest in peace. So I...I want to find out as soon as possible."

"Cousin, I'm so sorry, I really can't help you, you know my situation in the Lin family." After that, Lin Shuyao handed her small bundle to Mu Yunzhou, "Cousin, this is the money I saved over the years. My aunt treats me very well. I can't help my uncle and aunt because of my incompetence. Take these and use them to investigate the case."

"You have such a kind heart, which is really different from those people, but I can't accept your money."

"Cousin, take it. Just consider it as my humble contribution. I also hope that my aunt and uncle can be rehabilitated as soon as possible. If you need any help later, tell me. If I can help, I will do my best."

"Thank you, Shuyao." Mu Yunzhou took the package and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Lin Shuyao followed behind him: "Cousin, next time you want to see me, you can go to Shulin Bakery and pass a message, and someone will come to inform me. Or you can go to the fork in the road in the south of the city, under the tamarind tree, there is a house, you can find me there too."

"Are you not going to stay in the Lin Mansion?"

"I told my aunt that I plan to move out to make it easier for me to go to school."

"I'm really sorry for you."

"It's okay, I'm still comfortable like this."

Seeing Mu Yunzhou walking away, Lin Shuyao hurriedly chased after him.

"Shuyao, what else?"

"Cousin, you can't count on the Lin family in Beijing. You can go to Kangzhou and try. My uncle is a businessman who has traveled all over the world. He must have some connections. He used to be very close to my mother and aunt, so he should be able to help you.
