The third prince continued to speak in a gentle manner.

"Liu Yushi, this prince knows nothing, and the whole matter is still unclear. Even if we want to convict someone, we have to wait until the Mu family arrives. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding?"

"Prime Minister Mu is here! Lord Mu is here!"

At this moment, the voice of a eunuch singing was heard outside. It turned out that Prime Minister Mu and Lord Mu had arrived late.

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court looked towards the door.

Well, the real owner is finally here.

When the Third Prince saw the two people coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned over and spoke in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you? Is this true?"

Prime Minister Mu and Lord Mu were both stunned. Although Prime Minister Mu was old, he was still a shrewd man and was not yet senile. He grabbed the Third Prince and asked in a low voice.

"Third Prince, what happened?"

As soon as he asked the question, someone jumped out to disrupt the situation. It was none other than the Qin family who had always been against them.

Lord Qin sneered and looked at Prime Minister Mu and asked.

"That's good now. The main people are finally here. In that case, let's finish the job quickly. Prime Minister Mu, Lord Mu, can you explain what's going on?"

While speaking, Lord Qin repeated the whole situation in detail, without being annoying.

But after hearing this, Prime Minister Mu and Lord Mu's faces froze.

But they were all old foxes and reacted quickly. Prime Minister Mu was the first to stand up and looked at Mu Chihui, who was kneeling on the ground with a bruised face, in disbelief.

"Mu Chihui, tell me! What's going on? What Lord Qin said is true. You are not being framed, are you? Tell me quickly! What's going on?"

Before coming, my son told me the whole story, and on the way here they also learned that the matter was being talked about all over the street.

Prime Minister Mu had already thought of a countermeasure, but he didn't expect that his grandson would give in so quickly.

Is this all revealed?

Or was it that the guy named Qin was trying to scare me on purpose?

Prime Minister Mu asked this as a test, but unfortunately he was disappointed. Mu Chihui looked extremely frightened, and when Prime Minister Mu questioned him, he showed a guilty look, and it was obvious that he had confessed everything.

Prime Minister Mu was furious, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only glare at Mu Chihui angrily.

"You, you are simply an unfilial son! Who allowed you to do such a thing?"

As he spoke, he looked at Lord Mu.

"Did you know about this?"

Lord Mu had a bewildered look on his face. He had made preparations before coming here, and Lord Mu acted very hard at this moment.

"Father, I really don't know anything. Who knew that this bastard would dare to do such a thing? I was unaware of it."

So the father and son of the Mu family put on a show in front of all the civil and military officials in the court and the Emperor of Chu, pushing the matter aside.

Anyway, the meaning is one thing, that is, Mu Chihui was the only one who did this, and they were not aware of it.

Lord Qin had already guessed the two would have this reaction, and gave Censor Liu a calm look.

Censor Liu had long guessed how shameless the father and son of the Mu family were, so he immediately jumped out and punched Lord Mu. Just as he was about to hit Prime Minister Mu as well, he was stopped by Lord Qin's quick eyes and hands.

It’s not that Lord Qin wanted to protect Prime Minister Mu, it’s just that Prime Minister Mu is old, and he didn’t know how to control his strength when he threw that punch, and ended up hurting the man. Today’s matter will never end.

Even if you want to beat someone, you have to convict them first.

Mr. Qin advised: "Liu Yushi, don't be like this. The guilty party will not be able to escape. Don't worry, they can't just say they don't know..."

"Ridiculous! Nonsense!"

The Emperor of Chu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, finally got angry.

Isn't that ridiculous?

What were his ministers doing in his palace? Did they take him, the emperor, seriously?

"Emperor calm down!"

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down in unison, only Censor Liu stood there, glaring angrily at Prime Minister Mu and his son.

"Get up, everyone. You have caused such a disgrace to me. You have really brought honor to me."

At the order given by the Emperor of Great Chu, all the civil and military officials in the court quickly stood up, but the look they gave to Prime Minister Mu and Lord Mu revealed a bit of gloating.

Of course, those who were gloating were mainly the enemies of the Third Prince's faction, while the people of the Third Prince's faction were worried.

If Prime Minister Mu and Lord Mu were proven guilty, they would not have a good ending.

As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the barbarians scatter. The outcome of this matter affects the fate of each of them.

Prime Minister Mu burst into tears.

"Your Majesty! I really don't know what's going on. I'm old, and my son is usually in charge of the affairs of the mansion, but he is really not as smart as Master Qin."

"He has mediocre talent, so he manages the family like this, but I know my son well, he doesn't have the guts to do such a thing, it's definitely that brat Mu Chihui who acted recklessly, please Your Majesty, please understand!"

Lord Mu also said immediately afterwards.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I never thought that this brat would dare to do such a thing. Censor Liu, I am so sorry. It is my fault for not educating my son well..."

With a "slap", Imperial Censor Liu slapped Lord Mu in the face without even waiting for him to finish his words.

Censor Liu said with a cold face.

"You are indeed a bad parent, but your son killed my daughter. Do you think this matter can just be let go? Also, do you think everyone is a fool? Even if Mu Chihui acted on his own initiative, I don't believe you didn't participate in it."

"Otherwise, is Mu Chihui capable of taking a few prisoners out of the prison? What's the matter? The prison of Jingzhao Yinfu is the back garden of your Mu family? People from your Mu family can go in and out whenever they want!"

Lord Mu's eyes widened and he immediately defended himself.

"Liu Yushi, please don't say anything careless. What does this have to do with our Mu family? I don't know what tricks Mu Chihui's brat used. I know I didn't teach my son well, but you can't slander me. I have no grudge against you, so why would you harm your daughter?"

"But in the final analysis, I am also responsible. It is my fault that I did not teach the child well. Don't worry, you can deal with Mu Chihui however you want. He killed Miss Liu, so why not let him pay for her life!"

Mu Chihui originally kept silent and was waiting for his father to save him, but he didn't expect that his father would ask him to pay with Miss Liu's life.

How can that work!

Mu Chihui immediately panicked, crawled forward a few steps, and hugged Lord Mu's waist.

"Father! Father, please don't do this! Save me, save me!"

As he spoke, he was pulling at Lord Mu's clothes.

Lord Mu was almost killed by his stupid son and couldn't help but slap him.

"Let me go! You bastard, who allowed you to do such a thing? How dare you? How dare you hurt others? This is what I taught you every day."

So the father and son started acting again.

It’s just that Mu Chihui was genuinely afraid, while Lord Mu was a little furious.

When Zhao Xianmin, the prefect of Jingzhao who was kneeling nearby, saw this situation, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself that something was not good.

He finally realized that Prime Minister Mu and Lord Mu were planning to give up their own son and grandson.
