Mu Yuliangyuan

As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed. Qin Lianxue pursed her lips and shook her shoulders sobbing. Seeing that everyone smiled and looked at her, she suddenly felt embarrassed and hid behind Wei Hanyu.

"Zixuan, how about we try again next time when Lianxue is not present?" Qin Mu patted Duan Zixuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.Duan Zixuan nodded, Qin Mu took a look at the sky and it was getting late, and left Duan Zixuan to have dinner together, planning to let his servants take her back home.But Duan Zixuan waved his hand and said.

"My qinggong is much faster than that carriage." After finishing speaking, he rolled over on the roof and disappeared into the night after a few strokes.

Wei Hanyu looked at Qin Mu, and saw that she was still looking at the direction Duan Zixuan left, and her eyes were full of love.

"Zixuan, this kid is pretty good." Wei Hanyu asked tentatively.

"Yeah." Qin Mu nodded, a bit stubborn like her, but more courageous than her.

"Remember when you were a child?" Wei Hanyu leaned into Qin Mu's ear and asked softly.His eyes were as deep as water, staring at Qin Mu, looking at Qin Lianxue who had grown up gradually, the years had left traces on their faces.Qin Mu turned around, looked at Wei Hanyu, held her hand, and sighed.

"The one who knows me is none other than Hanyu."

The two looked at each other, full of warmth and happiness.

It's just that they, who were immersed in happiness and warmth, didn't know that this night was destined to be uneasy.

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

On the second watch day, the door of the Qin Mansion was knocked deafeningly.Qin Mu rubbed her sleepy eyes, changed her clothes and opened the door. A man covered in blood fell into her arms.She was shocked, and asked the housekeeper to hold a lantern to take a picture, and her heart thumped, this is Ah Fu, the servant of the Duan family.

"Master Qin, I beg you, please save our master." After Ah Fu finished speaking, a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth, and the tears and blood in his eyes were mixed together.Qin Mu's heart ached, she calmed down, patted Ah Fu on the shoulder, and said.

"Ah Fu, speak slowly, what about Brother Duan?"

"A group of officers and soldiers broke into Duan's mansion tonight, saying that they were following the secret order of Emperor Han to arrest the master and bring him back to the palace for night interrogation. Naturally, the master didn't believe it, but they took out the hand letter from Emperor Han, so he couldn't believe it. The master was just taken away. A group of men in black broke into Duan's mansion, and killed everyone they saw, killing them all. Everyone in Duan's mansion died." Speaking of this, Ah Fu's face was pained and ferocious.

"What about Zixuan?"

"Master Zixuan, I don't know." Ah Fu had gradually lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss. He shook his head with a confused expression.Qin Mu saw the pupils of his eyes gradually dilated.Seeing his hand sinking, Qin Mu put his hand to his nose and breathed out, but there was no more breath.He closed his eyes with a heavy heart.

"Mu'er, what happened?" Wei Hanyu also heard the sound, saw that Qin Mu had not returned for a long time, changed his clothes, walked out, and saw Qin Mu sitting on the stone steps of the back door, holding a bag in his hand. A dead body with a dignified look.I knew something must have happened.

"Hanyu, something happened to the Duan family." Qin Mu frowned slightly, her eyes flushed, she knew that something serious must have happened this time, otherwise Emperor Han wouldn't have sent his night walker out late at night.Ever since Emperor Han knew that the Lu family had a secret army, he felt that this method was very good, so he spent several years cultivating a secret killer organization that was loyal to him only and dealt with the chaotic party for him.Qin Mu had persuaded him many times before that this was against Emperor Wei's idea of ​​governing the country with benevolence.However, Emperor Han has always been violent, so how can Qin Mu be able to comfort him.

"Old Qin, what day is it now?" Qin Mu looked at the butler beside him and asked.

"Master, it's already the second watch." The butler looked at Qin Mu and replied.

"Old Qin, help me prepare the carriage. I'm going to the palace to face the saint." Qin Mu stood up, looked down at Ah Fu's blood stains in his hands, and was full of anger.

The housekeeper Lao Qin looked at Wei Hanyu hesitantly, knowing that the gate of Ergengtian Palace was closed, and he couldn't enter the palace at all.

"Old Qin, please bury Ah Fu properly." Wei Hanyu nodded lightly, motioning for Lao Qin to leave.He stepped forward, put the cloak on Qin Mu's shoulders, and said softly.

"Mu'er, it's getting cold at night, so don't catch wind disease." Qin Mu sighed heavily and looked at Wei Hanyu.

"Hanyu, Brother Duan and I are brothers and sisters. This time I must not just sit idly by." Qin Mu looked at Wei Hanyu and said seriously.

"The matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet. You have offended Longyan by entering the palace rashly. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to save Mr. Duan." Wei Hanyu pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and calmly analyzed.

"Master Duan has always asked the Lord to enforce the law, so why?" Qin Mu sighed deeply. She still couldn't figure out why Emperor Han arrested Duan Hong this time.

"Mu'er, Lord Duan is a minister of the third rank. The Emperor Han will never execute him in private. When he goes to court tomorrow, the Ministry of Criminal Justice should announce the guilt of Lord Duan. It will not be too late for you to help Lord Duan reverse the case." Wei Hanyu Looking at Qin Mu, seeing that she was depressed, he patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.Qin Mu nodded, feeling that what Wei Hanyu said was reasonable, took a deep breath and tried to calm down, suddenly his expression changed, he looked at Wei Hanyu, and said.

"Zixuan, Zixuan's life or death is still uncertain." When Qin Mu thought of Duan Zixuan, his heart immediately gripped.

"Zixuan's martial arts foundation is not bad, if he is smart, he will be fine." Wei Hanyu patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.

"Hanyu, I have to go to Duan's mansion right now." Qin Mu looked at Wei Hanyu, his eyes flashed anxiously, if there was anything wrong with Duan Zixuan, how could she explain to Duan Hong.

At this time, there was a knock on the back door of the Qin Mansion. Qin Mu and Wei Hanyu glanced at each other. Hearing the intermittent knock on the door, it was Huang Mingshan's secret signal. Qin Mu said to Wei Hanyu.

"It's Qin Lao Er." Turning around and opening the door, he saw Qin Lao Er rushing in.

"The head of the family, something happened to the Duan family." Qin Laoer looked at Qin Mu anxiously and said in a low voice.

"I already know." Qin Mu frowned, and led Qin's second child into the back room.Seeing that Qin's second child learned the news at the same speed as her, Qin Mu couldn't help being curious and asked.

"Second, how did you know?"

"Zixuan is with me now. She told me." Qin Er Er sighed.

"How is she?" Qin Mu asked nervously upon hearing this.

"I wasn't injured, but I was greatly stimulated mentally." Qin Er Er looked at me with regret in his eyes. "Okay, it seems to be aphasia."

Hearing this, Qin Mu clenched his fists, with a bit of anger in his eyes.Handi's methods were really too cruel, which made her heartbroken.

"But don't worry, it should be a short-term aphasia, and Qiu Chan can help her cure it." Qin Er Er comforted her.Qin Mu took a few deep breaths and looked at Qin's second son.

"Second brother, the situation of brother Duan's case is not very optimistic. I will leave Duan Zixuan to you. You take her out of the city overnight and rent an apartment in the suburbs. Don't let anyone know her identity for the time being. When the turmoil subsides, I'm arranging for you to take her back to Beijing."

"Okay, don't worry." Qin Laoer patted his chest and said.

"It's not too late, let's go." Qin Mu patted Qin's second son on the shoulder and said.

Qin Lao Er nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.Qin Mu walked out of the hall wearing a cloak, looked at the bright moon in the dark night, sighed deeply, and said silently in his heart. "Brother Duan, that's all I can do now."

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

The next day when they went to the court, rumors of the Duan family being exterminated were widely circulated in the court. Dozens of members of the Duan family were all killed overnight.This approach could not help but arouse dissatisfaction among the ministers, and they jointly signed a letter, hoping that Emperor Han would give an explanation.Emperor Han ordered Dong Rui to try the case.And Qin Mu also knew the reason why Duan Hong was arrested. Dong Rui handed over dozens of letters from Duan's mansion and the remaining members of the Lu family. He admitted that Duan Hong had been in close contact with him for several months, and even gave him tens of taels of silver every month to help him.All the ministers have always known that Emperor Han will never show mercy to anyone who has anything to do with the Lu family.This time, there is no exception.Only Qin Mu knew the whole story. Lu Zhanyun was the informant they placed back to the Lu family. Although Lu Xu later found out that he wanted to use Lu Zhanyun as a bait to lure her and Duan Hong into the trap, but fortunately, Lu Zhanyun noticed it first, so Duan Hong arranged for Lu Zhanyun to leave the Lu residence, but because Lu Zhanyun had indeed helped them, Duan Hong kept helping him secretly. After the Lu family was destroyed, Duan Hong once mentioned to Qin Mu that Lu Zhanyun should be rewarded for his crimes and meritorious deeds. It was only after seeing Emperor Han's decisive treatment of the members of the Lu family that the matter was shelved. Speaking of this matter, Emperor Han should have known about it.

After coming down to the imperial court, Qin Muzou invited the saint to face him. In the imperial study, Emperor Han was watching the rare antiques that Dong Rui collected from the people for him. Seeing Qin Mu coming, he still invited her to watch with a smile on his face.Qin Mu was not a person who knew how to beat around the bush, so he came up to explain the whole story to Emperor Han clearly.But seeing that Emperor Han didn't say a word after hearing this, he sent Dong Rui down.

In the imperial study room, only Han Emperor and Qin Mu were left.Qin Mu looked at Emperor Han, remembering that he was still a playful prince for a few years, now that he was looking at him, there was an unfathomable depth in his eyes, and there was something in his smile that Qin Mu couldn't figure out. of Ayutthaya.

"Captain Qin, Master Duan and you are brothers and sisters. I can understand your current mood. It's just that it doesn't matter if someone related to the Lu family is implicated. This rule was set early in the morning. How can I just keep my promises? ?” Emperor Han put his hands behind his back, and his face was full of distress, which made Qin Mu feel that it was hypocrisy.

"Lu Zhanyun was my informant in the Lu residence. You know about this, Your Majesty." Qin Mu frowned and looked at Emperor Han, hoping that his conscience would be clear at this moment.

"Qin Duwei, you said that if this Lu Zhanyun's surname is not Lu, but Wang, or Liu, it's nothing more than his surname. It's only because of his bad luck that he took this surname. I can't be lenient to him." Emperor Han sighed He looked at Qin Mu and said earnestly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Duan is innocent." Qin Mu tried to restrain the anger in his heart and reminded.

"Master Duan." Emperor Han narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his chin, nodded, and patted Qin Mu on the shoulder. "It's really a pity for Lord Duan. But Lord Duan deserves to die this time." As soon as these words came out, the anger in Qin Mu's heart burst into her eyes, but she still suppressed it, but the sockets of her eyes turned red.Emperor Han also noticed Qin Mu's strangeness, sat back on the dragon chair, looked at Qin Mu, and said leisurely.

"Captain Qin, don't blame me for this matter. My night walkers have found out that there are remnants of the Lu family in southern China who are active, and they may want to make trouble. I executed Duan Hong this time to tell the world. Don't let the Lu family be here. My eyelids are full of chaos, but anyone related to the Lu family, even the ministers who are important to me, I will not tolerate, if you say this, there will be other officials and thieves who dare to make trouble against the wind."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Han took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared deeply at Qin Mu.

"Lord Duan is a loyal minister and good general. He is a minister who has made great contributions to helping Your Majesty ascend the dragon throne." Qin Mu stepped forward, trying to awaken the kindness of Emperor Han, but she knew that for the bloodthirsty and heartless Emperor Han, she was afraid that others would endanger him. How could the Emperor Han, who wanted to kill even his own emperor's brother, care about the life and death of a mere third-rank minister?

"As long as anyone who is involved with the remaining party of the Lu family, no matter whether they are loyal generals or traitors, I will never tolerate them. Their fate will be the same." Emperor Han stared at Qin Mu with deep eyes, and now sitting In this position, he has become more and more disgusted with hearing voices opposing his decisions. What he wants to see is that every decision he makes, his courtiers must obey unconditionally.

"But." Qin Mu frowned, and wanted to say something, but in fact her mind was blank, and she knew that she had no bargaining chips in hand to shake Emperor Han's decision.

"Captain Qin, I've made up my mind, so don't worry about it." Emperor Han took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and lazily didn't want to look at Qin Mu again.

"Since His Majesty's holy will has been decided, and I know that I am unable to assist His Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to allow you to resign and return to the field." Qin Mu knelt down, put his hands on the ground, and said every word with such determination.
