Chapter 134 – Hogging Her Heart (2 / 2)

Staffer looked at her, “How’s it going?”

“The truth has come out.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile before clapping her hands, “Hidden One, go do it.”

“Yes.” Hidden One responded, and then he flew into the Ji Mansion.

“What are you going to do” Chapter Staffer looked at Mu Zi Yan suspiciously.

“Cousin Zhang will know later.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, and then she saw a figure suddenly rushing out, carrying a cold sword in her hand, slashing towards the front.

Mu Zi Yan signaled for Hidden One to subdue the person who rushed out, followed by Hidden One carrying the person and flying out.

“To the murder house.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, and then she was tugged by the Chapter Staffer to land together.

When Zhang Zong and Niangzi Lu entered the mansion, they saw the old maids coming, “Elder Zhang, the old madam is sick and is not fit to see guests, do you have any orders for me, Elder Zhang?”

“No harm done, this official came to take a look when he learned that there have been a lot of strange happenings in the residence, after all, the female corpse in the murder case in the west of the city was from the County King’s old lady’s heel.” Zhang Zong said as he looked at the old Sister.

“Then Mr. Zhang please go ahead.” Since the old ma’am did not dare to give the expulsion order, after all, the official government to handle the case, but also with the emperor’s will, if there are any problems, to obstruct the official government to handle the case, she did not have the guts.

“Good.” Zhang Zong nodded his head in response, and then led the magistrate back and forth within the hall.

After an hour, I heard the maid outside report, and when Mu Ziyan and Staffer Zhang entered the room together, Zhang Zong looked at her, “Have you found out what happened?”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and raised her eyes to the old Sister, “Dare I ask Sister, has anyone ever lived in that attic in the back garden”

“Earlier on, young master intended to pack up that attic to entertain guests, but these days young master has been outside and has not returned, so that attic has been put aside and no one has ever lived there.” The old ma’am replied with her head hanging down.

“Has anyone ever gone in there” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

“Rather, I have never seen anyone approach.” The old Sister pondered for a long time and returned truthfully.

“How do you know that no one has entered the house” Mu Zi Yan looked at the old Sister, “How many people have been missing from the house in the past few days?”

“This,” said the old Sister, eyes downcast and blinking, “the old slave does not know.”

“If Sister doesn’t say, I also know.” Mu Zi Yan looked at the old Sister and said, “One day less one person, and all of them are wonderful young girls, also Sister has just bought new maids from the Tooth Woman’s place, in addition to the County King’s old madam’s heel, but it’s so”

“Yes,” the old Sister knew she couldn’t hide it any longer and answered quickly.

“In that case, does the old Sister know what the offense should be for concealing and not reporting” Mu Zi Yan looked at the old Sister coldly and said in a deep voice.

“Old slave wouldn’t dare.” The old Sister was so frightened that she knelt down on the spot, her heart secretly screaming.

Seeing that the old Sister was like this, Mu Zi Yan continued, “Please also ask the Sister to lead the way and guide us forward to the attic.”

“Yes.” The old Sister answered in a low voice and then got up, so she led the people to the attic.

When she arrived at the attic, the old ma’am only saw that there were lights flashing inside the attic, and was shocked, turning her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “How could there be firelight?”

“Cousin Zhang.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to the Chapter Staffer, “I’d like to trouble Cousin Zhang to pull out that pretender.”

With a light smile, Staffer spun out, and immediately kicked open the window on the second floor of the attic and flew in, and within a moment, he saw a man being thrown out of the window, and landed on the ground at that moment.

Chapter Staffer also dropped down with it, stomping on the man’s body and raising his eyes to Mu Zi Yan, “Too late.”

“Hey.” Mu Zi Yan also couldn’t help but sigh, although in this world life is like a mole cricket, but Mu Zi Yan knew that she didn’t deserve to die.

Zhang Zong had already rushed into the attic with his men, and when Niangzi Lu saw the dead body lying inside the attic, her eyes flashed a cold light and she cursed straight away, “Bastard.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she waited for Zhang Zong to come out, “A total of twenty.”

When the old Sister heard this, she trembled with fear, “What the hell is going on here?”

Mu Zi Yan looked down at the people kneeling on the ground, followed by a hidden one from the air to throw a person, and then fell, these two people’s appearance was exactly the same.

“How could this be,” Niangzi Lu said incredulously as she looked at the identical duo in front of her.

“The truth has been ascertained, bring the person back.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Zhang Zong.

“Go.” Zhang Zong’s eyes flashed with condensation as he responded with a grim expression.

A group of people then left, the remaining yamen went to the attic to carry the body away, because Zhang Zong is under the order of the case, so now, although after the curfew hours, but also be able to walk on the street freely.

When he returned to the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office, Zhang Zong raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Yan’er ah, these two people”

“Twins.” Muzzy Smoke said bluntly.

“Then who is the real Ji Fou” Zhang Zong then asked.

“It’s all Ji Fou.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Smokey, don’t sell yourself short, I really want to kill someone at this moment.” When Zhang Zong remembered what he saw in the attic, he couldn’t wait to chop off the heads of those two.

Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “There’s no hurry, if you want to do the household minister, it can’t be that easy.”

“I will bring him to the palace myself tomorrow.” Zhang Zong coldly said.

“No, in the Jingzhao Yin public hall, the emperor must be good enough to come in person.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “This matter involves more than just these two.”

“What the hell are you doing,” Staffer asked as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Who is Ji Fou’s man” Mu Zi Yan asked as she looked at the chapter Staffer.

“The Prince’s men.” The chapter whispered back, silent for a moment, “Is it”

“Not bad, if this matter is resolved in the courtroom, then the spearhead will be pointed at the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince is questioned for this, then who is the most favorable person” Mu Zi Yan asked slowly.

“Third Prince.” The chapter reporter continued, he was the Third Prince’s companion, and now that he saw Mu Zi Yan say this, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “Power really is a good thing.”

Mu Zi Yan knew what the Chapter Staffer meant by this, she whispered, “As a prince, where not tempted by that son does not want to be the emperor’s prince is not a good prince.”

“What are you talking about,” Zhang Zong frowned as he listened to Mu Zi Yan’s words.

Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “I created it uniquely.”

“Alright, you girl, you are bent on making them follow you all night long.” Lady Lu said helplessly.

“Anyway, there are a lot of people who can’t sleep tonight.” Mu Zi Yan sat down indifferently and raised her eyes to look at the two of them, “Why don’t we continue to watch a good show”

“What,” Niang Lu said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“If it’s true as you say, then he will surely come to kill and kill, after all, only the dead are the safest.” The chapter whispered.

“What if it was planted,” Mu Zi Yan continued.

“Revealing traces to think that the Crown Prince sent someone to kill him, if that is the case, then those who follow the Crown Prince are afraid that there will be dissent.” Zhang Zong’s eyes sank, “It seems that this person has thought of a complete strategy.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “It’s more than that.”

In the past life, this case is Zhong Xuan solved, she got the reputation, but also eliminated the Prince’s heart, shook the Prince’s heart of the party, but also for her future to pull together the Prince’s party to do a good job of laying the groundwork, this kind of mind, not lose with men.

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a light smile, then said, “Brother Zhang, you are afraid that you will have to go to the palace overnight.”

“I know.” Zhang Zong knew that the priority now was to make the first move, report to the Emperor in the palace, and tell the truth before they did, so that even if they did get their hands on him, the Crown Prince would not be implicated.

“Why does Cousin Zi Yan want to help the Crown Prince” Zhang Staffer asked as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“It’s only interesting when the forces are evenly matched, if the crown prince loses, the emperor will make another force strong since, which is more difficult to deal with than the current crown prince, I’m afraid.” Mu Zi Yan looked at the chapter staff said.

“There is another force,” Chapter Staffer felt that Mu Zi Yan seemed to have insight into everything, always able to make the most accurate judgment.

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “The Fifth Prince is dead, this is undoubtedly getting rid of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince’s heart and soul, so who will be next”

“The other princes are still young, and the only one who can compete with the Third Prince today is the Crown Prince.” The Chapter Staffer said in a low voice.

“No, there is another person.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “The eighth prince who was exiled due to the rebellion of the Ming King.”

“You mean the Emperor,” the chapter staffer’s heart sank, “I didn’t even know what the Emperor really had in mind.”

“The heart of the king is hard to gauge.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “the emperor is not yet to the time of old age, but he has to guard against his own son to usurp the throne, so if he wants to sit firmly in the dragon chair, must be to weigh the forces of all parties, will not let a head of the only big, the third prince is to understand, but he used his own method to slowly eat the prince’s power, Leng Hanfeng was relegated to the county of Lu, you don’t know, the county of Lu! Although barren and desolate, but it is not possible to create a second local hegemony as if that scholar.”

“Yes, that scholar was not what you expected, first he was recruited, and then,” said Staffer Zhang, looking at Mu Ziyan, “Cousin Ziyan, if the Crown Prince does not fall, then the Eighth Prince will remain in exile”

“Not a threat, but rather safe.” Mu Zi Yan went on to say, “the eighth prince nature mellow, not versed in government, even if the emperor has the intention to support, but also will certainly be looking for helpers, but also to spend time to cultivate, it is certainly to be painstakingly laborious, with this so, it would be better to let the crown prince and the third prince to keep the tug-of-war between the two sides, so that he will be able to rest assured.”

“I’m afraid you’re talking about one side of it,” the chapter staffer but feel that the emperor is very resourceful, certainly not just to stabilize the country, then he did so, is it to test the crown prince and the third prince, or another candidate

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “I believe that the Emperor’s final candidate is definitely not the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, who exactly is it, I don’t know.”

In the previous life, the emperor may want to pass the throne to the fifth prince, but unfortunately Jun Qian Yu died in battle, not to mention whether it is a fraudulent death, but since Jun Qian Hao ascended to the throne of the emperor, Jun Qian Yu has not appeared, then, the previous life of Jun Qian Yu is really dead?

Later, the emperor’s intention should be the twelfth prince, but unfortunately, ah, Jun Qianrui early death, followed by Zhong Xuan’s calculations, and Leng Hanfeng’s support, Jun Qianhao will be successfully ascended to the throne.

In this life, Jun Qian Yu did not die, she knew in her heart, Jun Qian Yu must be the emperor’s most favorite prince, however, since the fifth prince is dead, then, what kind of identity will he appear?

“Alright, let’s not talk about this.” Staffer saw that Mu Zi Yan was in a trance, he whispered, “Do you want to take a nap?”

Mu Zi Yan returned to her senses and raised her eyes to look at Staffer Zhang, “Cousin Zhang, the Zhang Marquis’ residence is restless these days”

“Hey.” Staffer sighed, “It’s not that sleepwalking thing you were talking about.”

“You’d better beware, this is just a precursor, if she has been deliberately trained, she will kill while sleepwalking, and at that point she will do something uncontrollable.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Chapter Staffer.

“Good.” Chapter Staffer looked at her, “I’ll send someone to watch her, but she’s extremely strong, she was able to lift the guards with her bare hands and fling them out.”

“Zhong Xuan brought her back to the house thinking that she had specialized training.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Staffer before saying, “If she really goes crazy, Cousin Zhang will order someone to pour cold water over her.”

“Good.” Chapter Staffer looked at Mu Zi Yan, “That girl is well-behaved in the daytime.”

“The Abbot Void of Yun Ying Temple is not simple, he has taken Miss Zhang Er for all these years, how can she be as innocent as she appears to be” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Staffer and reminded, “Cousin Zhang, you’d better be more careful.”

“I’ll listen to Cousin Ziyan.” Chapter Staffer pondered for a moment and nodded in response.

Niangzi Lu sat on the sidelines listening to the words of the two and said in a low voice, “Those two are now being held captive, if someone does make a move, wouldn’t that be”

“It’ll be fine.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“This girl of yours is always secretive.” Niangzi Lu continued, “But with this outfit you’re wearing nowadays, I don’t think the Emperor would recognize you when he sees you.”

“Nowadays this is quite good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Without the constraints of being a great lady, I can do whatever I want.”

“Do you want to be like this for the rest of your life,” Nyx Lu asked with a smirk at the corner of her mouth.

“I want to think about it, but I’m just thinking about it.” Mu Zi Yan stared down at the clear tea in her cup and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Staffer, “Cousin Zhang is going to the morning court tomorrow, and his official robes are not here.”

“No harm done, I’ll have the scribe fetch it first thing in the morning.” The chapter said faintly.

“The long night is long, why don’t we do something.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at the night sky outside the house, and suddenly thought of something, “But play against the game, I remember that last time, I played a tie with Cousin Zhang.”

“Exactly.” The chapter staffer responded with a smile.

The two of them then sat down in one place to play chess, while Niangzi Lu sat on the sidelines and watched.

When it was the fourth night, Zhang Zong came back in a hurry, his eyes flashing a cold light, “Outrageous.”

“En” Mu Zi Yan seldom saw Zhang Zong’s angry appearance, now he was so angry that he slapped his palm on a few cases, his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.

“His Majesty,” Zhang Zong looked to Mu Zi Yan, “did not summon me.”

“Why,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that there must have been a mistake in the middle.

“The harem do not know when a Mei concubine, for several days in a row, the emperor is resting in her bedchamber, but also the decree shall not be disturbed, I guarded outside the palace for two hours, Eunuch Zhang came to say only that there is something to be said tomorrow morning, then I will be sent away.” Zhang Zong said angrily.

“Concubine Mei,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, secretly screaming, “This Concubine Mei is the Third Prince’s person.”

“Then what should we do now” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“Now has come to the hour of the morning court, the two prepare to prepare to go to the morning court is, Zhang big brother on the folding is, and then report with the emperor, the culprits must be tried in the Beijing Zhaoyin government office.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong and said, “The emperor will come in person, since he has already missed the time, then can only be redeemed later.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong, however, did not delay, so he went to prepare himself.

Staffer has ordered the scribe to bring the official robes, and when he is properly dressed, he will enter the palace with Zhang Zong.

Empress Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan, “You haven’t rested all night, but take a nap”

“No, sister Lu, after the morning court, the emperor will come in person, you go prepare the physical evidence, as well as carry all the dead bodies to the public hall.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and said.

“Good.” Lady Lu nodded in response and turned around to give orders.

Mu Zi Yan exhaled, then she saw Hidden One drop down, “Master, those two subordinates have already dropped their bags.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

Niangzi Lu hurried in, “Sure enough, there are killers, those two”

Mu Zi Yan looked at her, “Sister Lu, don’t be anxious, it’s just a cover-up.”

“Then it’s still alive,” Niangzi Lu’s eyes flashed with a bright light when she heard Mu Zi Yan say so.

“Naturally alive.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and said, “Now I’m just waiting for the Emperor himself.”

“Smoke ah, if this case is really solved, you will also be famous.” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan, “I can also follow in the light.”

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Sister Lu, I’m only so because I don’t want to give another person a chance to become famous.”

“Who,” Lady Lu was silent for a moment, “Zhong Xuan”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “She can’t get out of this matter.”

“This woman is not simple, her city is extremely deep, and her methods are vicious.” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan, “It’s still you who had the foresight to watch out for her earlier, otherwise, now I’m afraid that”

“The body of the concubine daughter, was abandoned in the manor, but also can be so scenery back, but also into the Mingyue academy, and also won the eyes of the emperor, given marriage to the third prince as a side consort, she can not be so simple” Mu Zi Yan looked at Lu Maiden said, “her ability is big. “

“You’re not so bad at it.” Lady Lu said with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and watched the sky gradually brighten up, the morning sunlight sprinkled on her plain face, her eyes flashed with a spiritual bright light, the corner of her mouth hooked up with an evil smile.

The old lady of Pingxi County had a high fever yesterday, and this day it was not easy to get better, and when she heard the report of the old mamma, she knew what happened in the mansion yesterday, and now it was even more fuel to the fire, and she was furious and fainted on the spot.

Wish gravel rest a night, since the teahouse out, then went back to the mansion, since the news, eyes flashed a flash of cold light, then went to the old lady of Pingxi County.

“Grandmother.” Zhu Gravel did not expect that he was only not coming back for a few days, but this happened, “Sun’er will go and persuade his sister.”

“Not allowed to go.” Old Lady Pingxi County said in a deep voice, “The thought of her being a concubine to someone makes me want to strangle her to death, even if you go, what can you do she is no longer a member of the Pingxi County King’s House.”

Zhu Cong suddenly felt a little lonely, and for some reason, looking at the old lady of Pingxi County in front of him, she was suddenly a little strange.

He whispered, “Grandmother, Sun’er wants to go back to Pingxi.”

“Conger ah, Mu Zi Yan was dispatched to the imperial tomb, since it is impossible to count on, good thing there is still the Lin An County Lord ah.” Pingxi County old lady can’t come here for nothing, already lost a granddaughter, she can’t let return empty-handed.

Zhu Cong did not know why, he suddenly lost interest, as long as he thought of a woman, the figure of the fourth princess would surface in front of his eyes, he raised his eyes to look at the old madam of Pingxi County, “Grandmother, grandchildren don’t want anything, they just want to go back to Pingxi.”

“Silly child ah.” Old Lady Pingxi County patted his hand, “You have a favorite, with your status, back in Pingxi which woman can match you.”

Zhu gravel mouth slightly pursed, then digresses, “grandson heard that this day Zhang Zong will be in the Beijing Zhaoyin government office to hear the murder case, grandmother rest well, grandson went to see.”

“You go.” Old Lady Pingxi County did not have that kind of mind nowadays, and seeing that he deliberately avoided the topic, she let him be.
