"The clues provided by Lu Zhanyun, I checked several areas, and found that there are really secret coal mines and gold mines. And judging from the scale of construction, these coal mines should be very old." Duan Hong looked at Qin Mu, the corners of his lips curled up. Evoked a smile.continued.

"My dear brother, digging gold mines privately or opening coal mines privately, whichever one is sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is a death penalty. The Lu family has been doing these things for so many years."

"Brother Duan, don't forget. Lu Xu is full of tricks. I'm afraid that if these crimes are reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he will break his arms to protect himself like abandoning Lu Zhanyun." Qin Mu looked at Duan Hong, with a flash of worry color.To bring down the Lu family solely by relying on the case of the unknown corpse would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

"The Lu family is a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. It is really difficult to completely suppress them with this unknown corpse case." Duan Hong sighed, looked at Qin Mu, and said leisurely.In order to cover up the truth this time, the Lu family almost lost Duan Zixuan, and Qin Mu was also implicated under Huang Mingshan's subordinates.But in the end, even if they had enough evidence, it would be difficult to move the Lu family, which has a lot of power in the court.

"Brother Duan, the Lu family has been different in recent years. Lu Youwei has been bedridden for a long time, and Lu Xu's connections are not as good as his father's. The Lu family, which was brilliant for a time, is probably going downhill now. It's a pity that the skinny camel is worse than his father. Martha, we still have to think carefully step by step." Qin Mu thought for a moment, then said leisurely.During this period of time, Qin Mu has been sending Qin's second son to secretly dispatch the Lu family, and some gains have been made.

"What do you mean by Brother Xian?" Duan Hong was puzzled, looked at Qin Mu, and asked.

"Brother Duan, we cannot report this matter." Qin Mu looked at Duan Hong with a faint smile. "The evidence of this case should be handed over to Song Liao."

"Prime Minister Song?" Duan Hong smiled when he heard this, and looked at Qin Mu. Although he knew that Qin Mu was thoughtful, he didn't quite understand this matter.

"Brother, are you joking? Prime Minister Song has never been interested in matters related to the Ministry of Punishment, and he intends to give Lu Xu the daughter of his boudoir, so how could he turn his guns and make an enemy of Lu Xu? In this way, I'm afraid it will scare the snake."

"Brother Duan, if this marriage fails, the marriage between the Song and Lu families will probably be terminated." Qin Mu's eyes showed a hint of meaning, and the corners of his mouth curled up, with a smile on his face.

"What does my brother mean?"

"If Song Yinglian becomes the concubine bestowed by Emperor Wei, do you think Song Liao would dare to talk about marrying the Lu family?"

"Brother, this idea may be a little inappropriate. Emperor Wei has always been a sensible person, so how could he force marriage at will? Besides, this time, Wei Yanhan confronted Song Liao in the court. Emperor Wei was furious, knowing that Song Liao and Wei Yanhan were married. The relationship is not harmonious, how could Emperor Wei make such a decree." Duan Hong was also extremely delicate, after careful analysis, he felt that this matter was not appropriate, he shook his head and sighed.

"If Wei Yanhan and Song Yinglian kneel in front of Emperor Wei and ask Emperor Wei to make an order, how sure do you think this matter is?" Qin Mu rubbed his chin, looked at Duan Hong confidently, and said leisurely.Song Liao's imprisonment of Song Yinglian this time must have created a gap between father and daughter. If Song Yinglian is rescued at this time, Song Yinglian must also give it a go in order to pursue her own happiness.

"Your brother, what do you mean? The crown prince and Miss Song's family?" Duan Hong's eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this, and he looked at Qin Mu, already understanding the deep meaning of Qin Mu's words.

"Facing the marriage offered by Emperor Wei, even if Song Liao objected, it would be of no avail, not to mention that the crown prince and Song Yinglian were in love with each other. At this time, Song Liao had no choice but to surrender to us in order to keep his daughter safe in the palace." Qin Mu smiled even deeper. Say something. "But it's hard to guarantee that this old fox will pretend to surrender, but actually keep in touch with the Lu family secretly."

"So, when he surrenders, hand over this case to him. If he really dares to report it, the relationship with the Lu family must be broken. First, Song Liao will have no chance to work with the Lu family. Second, we can All of this will wipe out the remnants of the Lu family." Duan Hong clapped his hands, and then continued Qin Mu's words.After speaking, thinking about the plan, he couldn't help giving Qin Mu a thumbs up and sighed.

"Your brother's plan is really brilliant."

"It's just that Song Yinglian is imprisoned in the mansion by Song Liao now, and the Song mansion is heavily guarded. It may be difficult to get Song Qianjin out of the mansion." Qin Mu frowned, thinking for a moment.

"I have a record of the map of the Song Mansion in Dali Temple." Upon hearing this, Duan Hong turned around and went to the bookcase, searched for a while, took out a pair of bamboo tubes that were still dust-sealed, and opened it.Qin Mu looked at it, clapped his hands with a smile, and said something.

"I forgot that the mansions of officials above the third rank are all archived here with Brother Duan."

"Look, this is the back door of the Song Mansion. This is the firewood room. If you go inside, it should be Miss Song's boudoir. But this is also the blueprint of the Song Mansion when it was first built. I don't know if it has changed now. Brother, you You can go and explore." Duan Hong handed the blueprint to Qin Mu and said.

Qin Mu nodded and said, "I'll go and investigate."

"It's getting late, brother, would you like to come to my house for a light meal?" Duan Hong looked at Qin Mu with anticipation in his eyes.

"The princess is pregnant, and she has to travel back to the capital today. I should go back to the palace to take care of her. It is not appropriate to stay outside the palace for a long time." Qin Mu smiled and refused.

Duan Hong nodded. "My dear brother, I really have a deep love for the eldest princess."

Qin Mu smiled and bid farewell to Duan Hong.

************************************************** ****

Back in the palace, Wei Hanyu had told Yin'er to prepare the meals. Seeing that Wei Hanyu was absent-minded, she thought that after returning to the palace, Wei Hanyu would definitely go to pay respects to Emperor Wei. However, Emperor Wei's body is not as strong as before, and Wei Hanyu must have noticed the clue , so asked.

"Sister Hanyu, what's on your mind?"

Wei Hanyu looked up at Qin Mu, hesitated to speak, "But because of Emperor Wei's body" Seeing Qin Mu's question, Wei Hanyu felt that the worries in his heart were immediately revealed, and sighed.

"I went to pay my respects to my father today, and found that my father has aged a lot. When I talked about Yan Han, my father was very worried."

"The prince is young and energetic, so it is inevitable that he will not be careful when doing things." Qin Mu served a bowl of soup for Wei Hanyu and asked her to drink it first, and said calmly.She knew that Wei Yanhan's confrontation with Song Liao at the court could not be hidden from Wei Hanyu.

"Moreover, there is a reason for this matter. Why the crown prince acted like this is also because Song Liao obstructed his falling in love with Miss Song's family."

"When did Yan Han know Miss Song?" When Wei Hanyu heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Qin Mu.

"On the Qixi Festival that day, the woman who guessed the lantern riddles with Yan Han was Song Yinglian, the eldest lady of the Song family." Qin Mu knew that he couldn't hide this from Wei Hanyu, so he said it together just now.

When Wei Hanyu heard this, he nodded slightly, just now he had the impression that the woman who played the lantern riddles with Wei Yanhan that night was delicate and pleasant, with elegant manners, and she could tell at a glance that she came from a wealthy family.However, Wei Hanyu frowned slightly, looked at Qin Mu, and asked.

"I know this Miss Song family rarely goes out, why did Yan Han meet by such a coincidence?"

"It's not difficult to do this, as long as you buy Miss Song's personal maid and lead Song Yinglian to this place to watch lantern riddles." Qin Mu pursed her lips, and felt that such a calculating person would It won't make Wei Hanyu feel inappropriate, so he looked at Wei Hanyu and explained.

"The prince doesn't know about this matter, it's just my idea. The prince's power is weak, and if he can get the support of Song Liao, he will be able to stabilize every step of the way." Seeing that Wei Hanyu frowned and said nothing, Qin Mu held Wei Hanyu's hand and said something .

"Although Mu'er's actions are a bad plan, but it's an extraordinary time, I hope sister Hanyu can understand." Seeing Wei Hanyu looking at her softly, she said lightly.

"Mu'er, I don't mean to blame you. Everything you have done for Yan Han these days is to help Yan Han with all your strength. It's just a matter of feelings." Wei Hanyu paused slightly, and smiled helplessly, saying A sentence.

"Forget it, in the emperor's house, I can't allow myself to be the master of emotional matters. Although Mu'er took the lead this time, fortunately, Yan Han and Miss Song's family really love each other. If the father knows that Yan Han The matter of contradicting Song and Liao has a reason, so I don't think I will be so worried."

"Sister Hanyu, Mu'er wants to bring Song Yinglian into the palace this time, and arrange for the crown prince to meet with her. I hope Emperor Wei can complete this marriage." Qin Mu looked at Wei Hanyu seriously, she hoped that this matter If she can get Wei Hanyu's approval, if she thinks it's appropriate, then she will give it a go and visit the Song Mansion at night.But if Wei Hanyu felt that this matter was inappropriate, she would not try it.

"Mu'er, I saw Royal Father today, and the thing that Royal Father is most worried about is Wei Yanhan. If we can see Wei Yanhan find the person he likes, get married and get married in Royal Father's lifetime, Royal Father's illness may be better." Wei Hanyu looked at Xiang Qin Mu's eyes revealed hope.

"Sister Hanyu, do you agree with Mu'er's idea?" Qin Mu smiled excitedly when he heard this, and confirmed again.Seeing Wei Hanyu frowning slightly, he said a few words.

"Mu'er, it's just that the Song Mansion is heavily guarded, it's really difficult to get Miss Song out of the mansion."

"Sister Hanyu, don't worry, Brother Duan has given me the detailed map of the Song Mansion. I will visit the Song Mansion at night today to see if he is really as leak-proof as rumored."

"Mu'er, you are going to the Song Mansion tonight." Upon hearing this, Wei Hanyu worriedly held Qin Mu's hand, still worried.

"Sister Hanyu, don't worry, I'm just going to find out whether the Song Mansion is consistent with the one marked on the map today." Qin Mu looked at Wei Hanyu deeply, and didn't intend to tell Wei Hanyu about this, so as to save her from worrying, but if she didn't tell , and afraid that Wei Hanyu would be even more worried if he thought about it.

************************************************** ******

After dinner, Qin Mu went back to the bedroom and changed into night clothes, ready to go out. Wei Hanyu took her hand and said softly.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

"Sister Hanyu, don't worry, I will bring you the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Wangyue Tower when I come back." Qin Mu smiled and hugged Wei Hanyu lightly, sniffing the faint fragrance of her body, feeling warm and at ease in his heart.

Seeing Qin Mu walk out of the courtyard quickly, lightly touch the ground, and disappear into the night, Wei Hanyu felt a little uneasy.
