Chapter 137 – Frustrating the Bones (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

“Where do these refugees come from” Mu Zi Yan only felt that the sudden influx of a large number of refugees at this time is really strange.

Funan has just been flooded, it is the time to repair, even if the neighboring cities and ponds are affected, it should be to the Fu Bei than Funan affluent Fu Bei influx.

“It’s from Fubei.” After Qi Xuan said that, he looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Cousin, I’ll be leaving tomorrow, and I’ll send a message to you if there’s any news from that place.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, how could there be refugees in Fubei is really strange.

“It’s getting late, go back.” Qi Xuan suddenly took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it to her.

“This is,” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and when she opened it, a white jade porcelain bottle was placed inside, she asked in confusion.

“This contains a unique scented powder.” Qi Xuan looked at her, “It’s able to mask the scent of your body.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes lit up and she smiled brightly towards Qi Xuan, “It’s still cousin who thought of it.”

“You now martial arts foundation is too shallow, everyone has a unique breath, if encountered martial arts strong people, since it is able to judge out, therefore, this incense powder can temporarily cover your breath.” Qi Xuan looked at her and said, “This is the only bottle in the world, but according to your intelligence, you try to see if you can make it yourself.”

“Cousin really thinks highly of me.” Mu Zi Yan joyfully accepted it and said with a smile.

“Go.” Qi Xuan said in a warm voice, and the two of them returned to the hall.

Hou Yi Yi saw Mu Zi Yan and Qi Xuan come back, she turned her eyes to Su Qin Rou, “This is”

Su Qinrou turned her eyes to look faintly, “Is it strange”

“Isn’t it strange,” Hou Yi Yi only wondered why Qi Shizi and Lu Erniang had entered the house together

Mu Zi Yan was able to see the doubt in Hou Yi Yi’s eyes, and with a guffawing smile, she bashfully took her seat.

The people chatted for a while, then each went out of the Jingzhao Yin government office and went their own way.

Mu Zi Yan reentered the back hall, Niangzi Lu came over, “What was sent”

“Baby.” Mu Zi Yan gathered her sleeves and smiled as she dug into her house.

The corner of Niangzi Lu’s mouth turned away, “When did you become so petty”

“Rest and go, I’ll trail off to feel sorry for myself.” Zhang Zong flung his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and tilted his head to go to the study.

Niangzi Lu stood in place, glancing at Mu Zi Yan’s house and then at Zhang Zong’s figure that didn’t enter the study, helplessly shaking her head, “These two are really”

Not knowing what words to use, he turned around and went back to his house.

Waiting straight until the next day, Jun Yufei simply cleaned up, then invited the palace license and went to the palace.

Mu Qinglin since the folders to the emperor, but also expressed some loyalty, the emperor is quite pleased, in front of the face of the court will be Mu Qinglin praised a number of, to be the morning after the court, the hundred officials will be dispersed.

After Jun Yufei entered the palace, she first went to the Yongshou Palace to greet the Empress Dowager, and after entering the main hall, she saw the Empress Dowager Duanzi on the square couch, and when she saw that she was going to salute, she hastened to stop her, “It’s just that, so you can be careful.”

“Yes.” Jun Yufei answered with her head hanging down before she slowly sat down.

Seeing Jun Yufei’s haggard face, the Empress Dowager sighed, “Have you thought about this child”

“I also ask the Empress Dowager to fulfill her wishes.” Jun Yufei said with downcast eyes.

“Ai, let it be, all of this is heaven’s will.” The Empress Dowager sighed quietly, “I know that you have never been able to let go of what happened back then, and now that you really want to leave him behind, you should know that there is no need to leave some people behind.”

“Yes.” Jun Yufei nodded her head and replied, “If there is an eventuality for my granddaughter, I would ask the Empress Dowager to take care of this child.”

“Stand down.” The Empress Dowager whispered.

“Granddaughter excuses herself.” Jun Yufei slowly got up, and with a slight blessing, she exited the great hall.

Pinel stepped forward, “Your Highness.”

“Go back to the bedchamber.” Jun Yufei held Pin’er’s hand and slowly left.

Mu Zi Yan woke up, out of the house, now she is a person, and no maid service, but at ease a lot, perhaps when a thousand years as a lonely ghost, this nature is also a lot of spontaneity, so they also do not care about these, after their own wash, they refreshingly go to find Lu Maiden.

Niangzi Lu was worried at first that Mu Zi Yan was not accustomed to having no one to serve her, but after spending some time together, she realized that this girl was a wild one, so she was relieved.

Niangzi Lu had just pulled up her hair into a bun and inserted a hairpin when she turned around to see Mu Zi Yan walking in with a smile.

“It looks like something good has happened,” Niangzi Lu asked, slowly getting up when she saw that she was smiling brightly.

“I don’t know how, I just feel that something good will happen this day.” Mu Zi Yan sat down gracefully and poured a cup of tea, sipping a few mouthfuls before picking up a piece of the dim sum that Niangzi Lu had prepared early in the morning.

Seeing her like this, Lady Lui laughed lowly, “What is good for you”

“I’m happy when the eyesore, the displeasing one disappears.” Mu Zi Yan said bluntly, without the slightest hint of a cover-up.

“You, you really dare to say anything.” Niangzi Lu, however, liked that Mu Zi Yan was as forthright as this, without artifice or hypocrisy.

Mu Zi Yan coldly grunted, then saw Zhang Zongzheng walk in with his arms stretched out, and when he saw Mu Zi Yan, he hemmed and hawed, “It’s really a good thing.”

“Look.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, and at that moment, she drew out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, while sitting upright, waiting for Zhang Zong to open his mouth.

Seeing that these two were serious, Niangzi Lu slowly sat down, “Speak.”

“The murderer who killed Master Guoyu has been found.” Zhang Zong sat down and said.

“Who is it,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“A person from the rivers and lakes.” Zhang Zong looked at her and said, “And it’s also one that comes and goes without a trace, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it in this lifetime.”

“Good thing.” Mu Zi Yan nodded in response, “And?”

“That third uncle of yours handed in the fold this morning, and the fourth princess went back to the palace to recuperate her fetus.” Zhang Zong continued.

“And what else” These were things she expected to hear, they were not what she wanted to hear.

Zhang Zong saw Mu Zi Yan’s chipper look and said lightly, “No more.”

“Really” Mu Zi Yan looked at him askance, “I ah, this place got a good thing, is the former prime minister Yu Qing left behind to solve the case accompanying the record.”

“Aiya, look at my memory, really confused, since there is another matter.” Zhang Zong heard immediately both eyes light, where there is half a day that the appearance of the cold face of the majesty, full of piles of smiles, attentive to look at Mu Zi Yan.

When Niangzi Lu looked at Zhang Zong’s dogged demeanor, the corner of her mouth twitched and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Zhang Zong hurriedly said, “Not only did Marquis Mu’s residence encounter assassins last night, Marquis Zhong’s residence was also assassinated by assassins, and I heard that Marquis Zhong was struck by a sword and fell unconscious.”

“That’s not the point, I’m afraid.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.

“You’re right, the point is that Zhong Xian actually let that assassin go.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “The Emperor knew about this matter, but did not make a sound.”

“Zhong Xian” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “He knew the assassin”

“A number of ministers impeached today, saying that Zhong Xian conspired with assassins to kill his father.” Zhang Zong continued, “The Emperor ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

“If it is said that Zhong Xian killed Marquis Zhong, I don’t believe it.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “Who designed this matter what was the motive”

“Smokey, that Yu Qing’s accompanying note,” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan with an expectant face and asked carefully.

Mu Zi Yan smiled and said, “It’s in the head of my house, I’ll bring it to you.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong instantly got up and had taken the lead out of the house.

Nyx turned her eyes to look at her, “He’s still really excited.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, and then got up, then entered the room without slowing down, handing him the accompanying notes that he wanted to give to him early in the morning, “Senior Zhang, don’t be happy, this patricide matter, how do you”

“Hey, I don’t know.” Zhang Zong baby-like put it away, raised his eyes to Mu Zi Yan, sighed quietly, “Smoke can have a method”

“Zhong Xuan can make a statement,” Mu Zi Yan is concerned about this matter is not Zhong Xuan, so as to test Zhong Xian to Zhong Houfu loyalty, or use the opportunity to Zhong Xian from the Crown Prince that eradication.

“No.” Zhang Zong shook his head, “This Second Miss Zhong wasn’t at Marquis Zhong’s residence yesterday, saying that she was sick these past few days and went back to the manor.”

“What about Mingyue Academy,” Mu Ziyan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she coldly said.

“These past few days, County Princess Lin’an has been unwell, so Princess Yuehua has been looking after the Princess’ residence, and Mingyue Academy has been closed for the past few days.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “You are suspecting that this matter is”

“It’s possible.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Let me think about this matter.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong nodded his head and responded, “I don’t know why, but this feeling has been a bit strange these past few days.”

Mu Zi Yan carefully think about what other big things will happen it in the previous life, since the fifth prince died in battle, Zhang Yirong martyrdom, and then it is Zhong Xuan and Leng Hanfeng appeared, followed by the crown prince and the third prince of the battle for the throne between the intensification of the twelfth prince drowned, Yun Fei hanged herself, and what

Yes, the Prince’s wedding.

“This matter is related to the Crown Prince.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “This matter is afraid that it is not as simple as it appears, where is Zhong Shizi now”

“At Marquis Zhong’s residence.” Zhang Zong looked at her and said.

“Big Brother Zhang was able to invite Zhong Xian here” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and asked.

“Good.” Zhang Zong saw Mu Zi Yan’s face condense, so he knew that this matter was afraid to be deeply involved.

Niangzi Lu came out and looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Yan’er, what happened”

“Sister Lu, I’ll go back to the house first.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Niang Lu.

“Go on.” Lady Lu nodded in response, knowing what she was going to do.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the house while signaling Bai Xuan, and a quarter of an hour later, Bai Xuan entered the house and hung his head, “Master.”

“Where is Zhong Xuan,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a cold voice.

“My subordinate has just gotten word that she is now on her way to Lu County.” Bai Xuan whispered back.

“Lu County” Mu Zi Yan eyes slightly narrowed, “at this time to Lu County to do what now Lu County what is the situation”

“After Leng Hanfeng arrived in Lu County, he solved ten backlogged cases of injustice one after another, and he even drew in the local land gentry to run a communal society, personally leading the local people to break up the ground and open up the land, which won the hearts of the people.” Bai Xuan continued.

“Communal Society,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes hooked up in an evil smile, “It seems like Zhong Xuan’s idea.”

“And what else” Muzzy Smoke continued to ask

“Lu County to the north, there is a cliff, after the cliff is the neighboring country, that small country has a population of less than three thousand people, but the folk are very tough, to hunt for a living, Zhong Xuan seems to have sent someone to meet the king of that small country.” Bai Xuan reported in a deep voice.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “It’s Yushui Country.”

“Not bad.” Bai Xuan hadn’t expected Mu Zi Yan to know the name of that small country.

“The current king of the Yushui Kingdom is the daughter of the previous king,” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “named Ru Ji.”

“What the master said is good.” Bai Xuan narrowed his eyes and responded, “But even though this Ru Ji is a woman, her physique is robust and formidable.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “How is that scholar”

“He has been wanting to see you.” Bai Xuan continued.

“Tell him to go to the Yushui Kingdom and marry Ru Ji.” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice.

“Yes.” Bai Xuan hung his head and answered, then said, “But is he willing”

“Whether he’s willing or not is up to him, if he doesn’t want to take revenge.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Bai Xuan, “Zhong Xuan killed his entire cottage brothers.”

“Subordinate understands.” Bai Xuan hung his head and replied, then flashed away.

Mu Zi Yan coldly snorted, “Zhong Xuan, you want to pull in the Yushui Kingdom, don’t even think about it.”

She turned around and went out of the house, it seemed that what happened to Marquis Zhong was not done by Zhong Xuan, so who could it be?

When Niangzi Lu saw her come out, she rushed to meet her, “How is it”

“Things are afraid that something is not right.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Niang Zi Lu, “Sister Lu, please go forward to the State Duke’s Mansion to see if Shizi Qi has moved”

“Good.” Niangzi Lu nodded her head in response, and at that moment, she went out of the Jingzhao Yin’s government office.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zong then traveled to the back of the hall, to see Mu Zi Yan stood in the courtyard as if thinking, forehead holding a layer of thin sweat, obviously stood for a long time, he dry cough a few times, said in a deep voice, “If you stand down again, it will be exposed.”

Mu Zi Yan was slightly stunned before she came back to her senses, pulling out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiping the thin sweat on her forehead before she turned around and entered the hall.

Zhang Zong poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, “As your elder brother, I have to take good care of you, if they know that I didn’t take care of you, I guess I will be dismantled.”

“When did Big Brother Zhang also become this funny and humorous,” Mu Zi Yan joked with a light smile.

“Near Zhu is red.” Zhang Zong then sat down and also ate his tea in a straightforward manner.

Not long after, she saw Niangzi Lu come back first and looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “She left in the morning, and now she is afraid that she has already arrived at the next city.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Cousin’s trip is treacherous.”

“Tell me.” Zhang Zong asked worriedly when he saw Mu Zi Yan say so.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Funan has been flooded with a large number of refugees, closely passing from Fubei.”

“Impossible.” Zhang Zong’s eyes were cold, “This Fubei is richer than Funan, how could there be refugees fleeing from Fubei to Funan?”

“This is the strange thing.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “The emperor gave the order for cousin to go and help, there is a great deal to be feared here.”

“What you mean is,” Zhang Zong’s eyes stared, “the Emperor wants to borrow the Mobile State Duke’s Mansion.”

“Not the emperor.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said, “Yet it is also in accordance with the Emperor’s wishes.”

“The Crown Prince or the Third Prince,” Zhang Zong could think of these two.

“Funan is a piece of fat meat, although it is not as rich as Fubei, but that place is rich in earth nitrate.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“Earthen Nitrate” Zhang Zong was silent for a moment, “Isn’t this Earthen Nitrate for making fireworks”

“This earth nitrate is of great use.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she continued, “It can create explosives that are even more powerful than gunpowder.”

“I remember you once gave the Fifth Prince two Golden Bullet Pills, and that thing is said to be able to blow a house to the ground.” Zhang Zong said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “And earth nitrate can also be made into artillery, mines, and even more so”

She sighed quietly, “It seems like that carpenter has completely become Zhong Xuan’s person.”

“Carpenters,” whispered Zhang Zong, “that family of carpenters.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, “Making good use of the mechanism, coupled with this earth nitrate, it is infinitely powerful, and can withstand millions of soldiers.”

“Then is it possible that the one who is able to produce these is,” Zhang Zong’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, and he could not really believe it.

“Zhong Xuan.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “She’s the only one in the world who made it.”
