Sigh the world of mortals

1 do not stay

"I'm a low-ranking official, I've been fooled by them for so long, please punish Master Mu." Gu Cheng quickly stood up and said to Mu Tianyou.

"Not talented? Is it really not talented or is it intentional?" Mu Tianyou asked thoughtfully.

"Lord Mu, I really don't know anything." Upon hearing his words, Gu Cheng immediately knelt down in front of Mu Tianyou with a sincere expression on his face.Mu Tianyou looked at Gu Cheng with an indifferent expression.

"Master Gu, Tianyou really admires you. He is still so calm until now. He really deserves to be the most proud student of Master Situzuo." As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the four people became even more exciting.Mu Tianyou looked at Gu Cheng with fierce eyes, and he was also deceived by his tact, thinking that he was really on his side, but now his carelessness has caused the people around him to be hurt, if he hates the people in front of him Rather, he hated himself more.

"I don't know what your lord is saying?" Gu Cheng quickly denied it.

"Very good, very good." Mu Tianyou watched him still making the final struggle, his eyes became colder.

"Actually, I haven't been sure that you are the one placed by my side by the Situ family, but there are some things you do perfectly, and my people can't find any clues, but you are too impatient, and the risk of military action makes me Your guess is right." Mu Tianyou said bluntly.

"Bring him up." Mu Tianyou said to the outside, watching a few guards escort a person in.

"Slave sees your lord." The person who was brought along looked at Mu Tianyou and quickly knelt down and said.

"Master Gu, you should know this person, right?" Mu Tianyou asked Gu Cheng who was kneeling beside him.

"My lord, he is one of the guards of the forbidden area, and he is also a servant of the magistrate's yamen." Gu Cheng glanced at the person who came and said.

"Master Gu, how many guards are there in total?" Mu Tianyou asked, "There are three shifts in total, and 12 guards each time." Gu Cheng said frankly.

"Then there are 36 people in total, but why can I only find 24 people, and I don't know where the other 12 people went?" Mu Tianyou asked again.

"The lower officials don't know, the guards of the forbidden area are not under the direct management of the lower officials, but the lower officials can send people to investigate." Gu Cheng said hastily.

"Investigate? I think no matter how you search, those 12 people will never be found." Mu Tianyou said decisively, "You guys are really clean. The 12 people disappeared innocently, and it was after the exchange. Strange."

"I don't understand what your lord means?" Gu Cheng said hastily.

"I didn't doubt you at first, but you were too nervous about the guards I sent to arrest, so I pay more attention to you." Mu Tianyou continued, "Not many people know about my going to the forbidden area, and you Master Gu is one of them, and the shift of the 12 guards happened just before I left."

"This does not prove that it was done by the lower officials." Gu Cheng said anxiously.

"You are very smart, and you are very tactful, but in the end you still showed your flaws. When you saw that Xiaolie took my token and sent someone to go to General Wu, you started to panic. When you panicked, you were not sure. Did something happen to me, so I just want to gamble that the fire in the government office should be set by you, if you want to take away the guards of this official, this official will let you get what you want, just wait for you to enter the urn." Mu Tianyou said .

"These are all adults' guesses, and there is no way to prove that these are all done by me." Gu Cheng said with trepidation.

"You want evidence?" Mu Tianyou said dismissively, "But for this official, he would rather kill by mistake than kill others to let others know what will happen if he goes against this official."

"The lower official is an official ordered by the imperial court. Even if he is guilty, he must be thoroughly investigated by the Ministry of Punishment, and then the emperor will make a judgment." Gu Cheng looked at Mu Tianyou like this, and said without regard for etiquette.

"I don't know if Mr. Gu has heard a saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. This official is in charge of everything here." Mu Tianyou looked at him viciously.Gu Cheng took a deep look at Mu Tianyou, what he just said was true, and he wanted to kill him.

"Lord Mu, Caomin don't believe that Lord can cover the sky with his hand, not only can control the lives of fourth-rank ministers, but also the lives of several Caomin." Hu Jin looked at Mu Tianyou angrily, and now he couldn't bear it any longer.

"In my eyes, pinching you to death is like pinching ants to death, not to mention that for me, I can have as much evidence as I want." The smile on Mu Tianyou's mouth was from Hu Jin's ignorance. They still have a chance now.

"My lord is really wrong, you are more ruthless than I imagined, and your methods are more ruthless." Gu Cheng suddenly said with a smile.

"This official really admires your lord, but at the end I have a merciless request. Please tell me why. My lord wants to get rid of this official." Gu Cheng looked at Mu Mu with complicated eyes. Tianyou, although what Mu Tianyou said just now was all made up by his guesses, but it is not far from the truth, but after getting along with Mu Tianyou for a period of time, he also believes that Mu Tianyou will not treat him like this because of his guesses. Don't know what to do.

"If you want to blame, blame you for following the wrong person and standing on the wrong side. You have a chance to rise to the top, so why take the risk." Mu Tianyou looked at Gu Cheng with some regret. He is a talent, but he is from Situ's family. people.

"Scholars die for their confidantes. Lord Situ is kind to my subordinates. Without Lord Situ, Gu Cheng would not be where he is today." Up to now, Gu Cheng has also faced Mu Tianyou calmly.At that time, Gu Cheng was just a person with nothing. After being promoted by Situ Zuo, he slowly climbed to his current position. Everything he had was given by the Situ family, and now he doesn't regret what he did when he gave it back to them, it just hurt himself. family, let him feel guilty.

"Come here, take them down." Mu Tianyou signaled, "You must take good care of them." The word "care" was intentionally prolonged.

"The slaves take orders." The guards understood Mu Tianyou's meaning and asked them to escort them down.

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it." Tao Ran said loudly, struggling to escape.

"Officer Dog, you will die badly, and there will be retribution." Hu Jin had not regained his composure, and shouted loudly, his face was full of anger, while Wang Shifu had already fainted from fright.

"My lord, how did you determine that Gu Cheng is from the Situ family?" Xiaolie asked curiously after watching them being escorted away.

"I found this thing in the secret compartment of his study." Mu Tianyou took out something from his arms. In fact, when Gu Cheng came to the mansion to test him, he had already visited Gu's mansion secretly with several secret guards. Did not receive it, but saw this thing.

"This is?" Xiaolie took what Mu Tianyou was holding, and looked around.

"This is the token of the Situ family." Mu Tianyou's expression became even more forlorn. He had seen this thing on someone before. If it wasn't for this token, he wouldn't be so sure that Gu Cheng was from the Situ family, and he wouldn't leave. on this step.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Xiaolie knew what Mu Tianyou meant and changed the subject.

"No one will stay." He said coldly, "It's time for our people to replace them."

"Xiaolie understands." Xiaolie replied, turned around and left, and went down to arrange things.

In the capital, "Is there any news from Xuzhou?" Situ Yanxiu asked with the silk in his hand.

"Not yet." The confidant said, but his face was a little uneasy.

"Miss, is something going to happen?"

"Waiting for a few days." Situ Jing was restless, and the embroidery needle accidentally pricked his finger.

"Miss." The confidant looked at Situ Yan nervously.

"I'm fine." Situ Yan put down the things in his hands, "How are you preparing for what I want?" Situ Yan asked what she wanted.

"These are all things we can find out about the son-in-law. If the lady wants to know anything else, just tell the servant." Putting the things on the table, he watched Situ Yan waiting for her order.

"You go down first." Situ Yan said, his eyes kept staring at the things on the table, and when he left, he looked at the things on the table carefully, over and over again, more and more things appeared in his eyes, Looking at the things collected on the table, he suddenly stood up, put the things on the table on the ground, and ignited them.

"My lord, everything has been arranged. We have almost completed the things arranged by the emperor. When will we leave for Beijing?" Xiaolie asked.

"As soon as possible, I'm afraid that there will be many nights and dreams, and what happened in Xuzhou City should be reported to the capital, so we have to return to Beijing as soon as possible." Mu Tianyou looked at the news from his subordinates. He's done taking over, so returning to Beijing can avoid King Ji's plotting behind his back.

"Young master is afraid that King Ji will plot against him. As long as they dare to come, Xiao Lie will definitely let them come and go."

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. After returning to Beijing, there are still more things to worry about." Mu Tianyou looked at the bright moon outside the window, and it will be August [-]th soon. He promised the princess that he would go back before then and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her Festival.
