Chapter 173 Chaosi Lane, where all eyes are enemies

Watching Mu Nan, who was standing in the yard with a handkerchief, although he didn't understand what he was wiping, Li Mengzhou was a little depressed. Even though the situation was completely unfavorable to him, even though he thought he was very firm in his mind, it was difficult for him to continue to remain calm.

This is not a fear, but it is inevitable that he feels a little panicked. He tried his best to calm his mind and looked at Mu Nan and said, "You are your business by your orders by Your Majesty and Xu Sishou, but you must always give enough reasons. I am a disciple from the palace courtyard. If I cannot convince me, I have the right to refuse."

Mu Nan smiled and said, "Mr. Li seems to have made something wrong. I have already said that this time is different from the last time. You have no right to refuse unless you want to fight against Your Majesty."

Fighting against His Majesty the Emperor, except for a few people, was a desperation. Even Xue Wangyou could not blatantly refuse to give His Majesty the Emperor.

"Last night, Lu Changge died in the Xuan Zhengsi prison, and a prisoner in the next cell also died. I guess the prisoner witnessed the whole process or accidentally caught it, and was silenced by the murderer."

"The prisoner's head was blown away by a strong aura. This was done by the murderer deliberately, with the purpose of covering up the murder weapon, being able to kill people in the Xuanzhengsi prison, and keeping his mind calm. This murderer is absolutely extraordinary."

"I couldn't expect anyone to risk lurking into the prison of Xuanzhengsi to kill Lu Changge. I can only reasonably speculate that you, who is accused of Lu Changge of killing Minister Zhu, are quite suspicious."

Mu Nan smiled and said, "As long as there is a hint of suspicion, I have a reason to invite Mr. Xiao Li to the Xuanzhengsi for a cup of tea. This is what His Majesty allows. Mr. Xiao Li can only cooperate with the investigation. If you want to refuse, it is to despise the imperial power. You should know what the consequences are. And if you refuse, does it mean that you are guilty? Then I should use tough measures to arrest Mr. Xiao Li."

With His Majesty the Emperor supporting him and just cooperating with the investigation, Li Mengzhou really couldn't refuse. If he wanted to resist, the situation would be worse if there was no silver here.

Originally, Li Mengzhou was ready to go to war directly with Xuan Zhengsi, but if he really did this situation, he would not only go against Xuan Zhengsi, but also ignore the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor. Even if he was to leave the Palace Sword Court, he would not be able to protect him.

Mu Nan continued: "In addition to the suspicion of Mr. Xiao Li killing Lu Changge in the Xuanzhengsi prison, the case of Zhang Chong, a military general who was blocked in the street before the New Year, seemed to have something to do with Mr. Xiao Li. Although Wen Rou Township is a very special place in the capital, His Majesty's will is that it is easy for us to meet that lady and figure out what happened at that time."

Li Mengzhou's expression became a little gloomy. He would not blame Miss Wuer. After all, in the face of such a huge creature as Xuan Zhengsi and acting in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor, what can Miss Wuer do as an ordinary person?

The case of Dan Tai Jing and Yue Shiting being killed cannot be attributed to Li Mengzhou, but it is just a suspicion of killing Lu Changge and the conclusive evidence of intercepting military generals in the street, which is enough to make Li Mengzhou stretched and unable to turn over.

......

In the gentle village by Yueming Lake, the girls sat around, their expressions were all worried and whispered. From time to time, they glanced at the pale-faced lady, and couldn't help but comfort her: "How can we compete with Xuan Zhengsi? There is nothing we can do about it. I believe Li Mengzhou won't blame you either."

Miss Wu'er sobbed and said, "Li Mengzhou killed Zhang Chong to save me, but I was forced to betray him because of the situation. If he suffered any harm, I will never be able to forgive myself in my life."

"It's not your fault."

On the second floor, everyone Yu slowly walked down, looked at Miss Wu'er and said, "Xuan Zhengshi is very strict in handling cases. When they have some concerns, they may be able to be polite, but since they are in accordance with His Majesty's will, they will have no scruples. Even if you don't tell them, they will have ten thousand ways to let you tell the truth. Instead of suffering from the flesh and blood, the final outcome will not change, it is better to tell them directly."

Yu everyone is very objective and rational in viewing the problem. If Miss Wu Er denies it, Xuan Zhengshi will definitely use extraordinary means. If this matter is heard in Li Mengzhou's ears, he will never sit idly by. Just like when he heard that Miss Wu Er was forced by Zhang Chong, he would directly take a knife to kill Zhang Chong. Now, Li Mengzhou's choice will not change much.

The situation that ended up was nothing different from that of Miss Wu'er who directly told the truth of Hyun Zhengsi. The only thing that could be avoided was that Miss Wu'er who would not suffer any harm.

This is the best result.

Miss Wu'er was also worried about Li Mengzhou's safety while blaming herself. She looked at Yu and said, "That Minister Mu Nan is said to be a villain in Xuanzhengsi. Although he is an official in the court, he is even more evil than those prisoners. If he wants to target Li Mengzhou, how should Li Mengzhou deal with it?"

Mu Nan's name of evil people is not well known in the capital, but it is extremely famous among the monks in the mountains. Basically, the practitioners commit crimes mostly from the mountains. The disciples of the mountain gate have rules and claim to be superior to others. The chance of committing crimes is very small. Mu Nan often arrests the monks in the mountains and fields. Their methods are cruel, so he has the name of "vicious people".

Mu Nan's face was still relatively elegant, but his style of conduct was completely opposite, which impressed the monks in the mountains and fields and was frightened.

Xu Hexian's reputation in the capital is known for his cruelty and cruelty. This is why he can sit in the position of the head of the Xuanzhengsi. However, to the outside world, Mu Nan's reputation for cruelty is even better than Xu Hexian.

"Li Mengzhou is a disciple of Ligong Sword Academy and a noble practitioner. They are the only ones who can save Li Mengzhou."

Miss Wu'er remembered the way Jiang Zihua once told her that she could notify him in time if there was any danger, so she hurriedly ran towards the second floor.

The gentle village in the early morning was very quiet, but the shore of Yueming Lake was already lively. Everyone in Yu stood in front of the window, frowned deeply, "Mengzhou, this guy, really has no time to be at peace for a day. I hope that after this lesson, I can grow up."

When Li Mengzhou wanted to kill Zhang Chong, everyone in Yu tried to dissuade him, but in fact, according to Li Mengzhou's identity as a disciple of the palace, killing a mere military general was not a big deal.

Zhang Chong only works in the capital, not guarding the frontiers. Although both of them serve in the military headquarters, Zhang Chong is not a soldier. That is, because of the promotion of a major figure, he can't compare with the soldiers who really go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

But recently, a lot of things have happened in the capital, and ordinary people may not be able to know it, but everyone in Yu knows it. Xuan Zhengshi targeted Li Mengzhou not just because of Zhang Chong.

Although everyone Yu was also worried about Li Mengzhou's safety, he thought that he was a disciple who left the palace courtyard after all, so that he could not sit idly by. Instead of trying to interfere, it would be better to wait and see what happened.

......

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The strong aroma of tea was filled with it. His Majesty the Emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at Jiang Tingyu sitting opposite him, and said, "When Li Mengzhou killed Zhang Chong, Qing Yi also helped him. In a sense, Zhang Chong's death was jointly done by Li Mengzhou and Tianshu Court."

"The Tianshu Yuan suppressed this matter, which caused Xuan Zhengsi to be unable to do anything. But why did Lu Changge's death in Xuan Zhengsi's prison have something to do with Li Mengzhou?"

Jiang Tingyu was brewing tea very seriously, looking at the nose and the heart, saying: "In fact, it was just a farce for children. Because Li Mengzhou defeated Lu Changge across the border on the five-story building, Lu Changge felt that he was very embarrassed, so he waited for an opportunity to take revenge."

"The peeping outside Chaosi Lane made Li Mengzhou notice it. He felt the murderous intent and wanted to solve the problem, but he mistakenly misunderstood the peeping eyes outside Chaosi Lane as Zhu Zaitian, so he was seen by Lu Changge in the process of assassinating Zhu Zaitian, and gradually evolved to this situation."

Qingyi knew about this incident, so Jiang Tingyu would naturally know that this incident was indeed just a farce caused by the unwillingness of young people, which was not worthy of reason, but the end of the matter turned out like this, which made Jiang Tingyu unexpected.

"Li Mengzhou's mind was very fast. Before Lu Changge could do anything, he attributed Zhu Zaitian's death to Lu Changge, which led to Xuan Zhengshi's intervention too early. Lu Changge was imprisoned in Xuan Zhengshi's prison, but he would definitely not give up until he fell down. There must be an explanation."

"It's understandable that Li Mengzhou wants to solve Lu Changge as soon as possible, but he is too young after all, and many things are not as simple as he thought. Xu Hexian can be used by him not because he is smart enough, but because Xu Hexian has not found the best opportunity. Once there is a mistake in some places, Xu Hexian's counterattack will begin."

Just as Jiang Tingyu could know this, but he could not produce evidence that Li Mengzhou did so. If he was just a word without evidence, he would be subject to many restrictions. If Xu Hexian found a trace of breakthrough, Li Mengzhou would be beaten very badly by him, because all his actions seemed very meticulous, but in fact he had loopholes.

Xu Hexian was silent at the beginning, but because the loopholes lacked enough evidence, they could only let them develop. Now, when an opportunity arises, Xu Hexian has no reason to continue to remain silent.

His Majesty the Emperor said with some melancholy: "There have been too many things in the capital recently. The matter of monks outside the mountain has just been resolved, and these little guys are about to cause trouble again."

"After all, Xu Hexian has his own bottom line. I turned a blind eye to the things he did secretly. Now he asked for an order to capture Li Mengzhou, which was Li Mengzhou's crime. I can only agree, hoping that President Xue will not get angry and make trouble for the capital again."

Jiang Tingyu said: "Lu Changge is a true disciple who is not far away. Now he is killed by the disciples of Ligong Sword Academy. Lu Zhongfeng may not give up. This farce seems to be caused by the younger generation, but the ultimate key lies with President Xue and Lord Lu Shan. Your Majesty just needs to wait and see. As long as they don't make things bigger, the court will not need to intervene."

His Majesty the Emperor did not comment. He leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said between his two fingers and gentle eyebrows: "Fei Yu is in Beiyan territory, and there is no way to obtain more information. I, the God of Jiang, stayed in Beiyan territory for a long time. Once those people noticed it, unnecessary troubles may occur. If Han Yi's whereabouts cannot be found, I will let him come back."

Jiang Tingyu said: "Northern Yan is the realm of the Taoist Palace, and there are countless powerful people who practice there. Although the flying feather god general has entered the fifth realm, once he is noticed by the great things in the Taoist Palace, he can only let him slaughter it. Since Han Yi's whereabouts cannot be found, it means that Han Yi may no longer be in Beiyan, and it is no longer necessary to continue to stay there to investigate secretly."

"I will instruct the spies in the Beiyan Academy of Tianshu to continue investigating. It will be dangerous for the Feiyu God to continue to stay there. It is better to go back sooner than later."

His Majesty the Emperor said: "Flying Feiyu's return home requires a mad god general guarding Jiangyan's border. In order to avoid accidents, the mad god general is allowed to transfer troops into the country."

Although Jiang State was not willing to go to war with Northern Yan, when necessary, the gods guarding the border would draw their swords as soon as possible. Unwilling to fight does not mean that they are afraid of fighting. Jiang State's iron cavalry is always ready to charge forward and crush the enemy.

......

Chaosi Lane.

Li Mengzhou sat on a rattan chair and looked at the Xuanzhengsi soldiers standing in his yard, and then looked at the golden jade plaque in Mu Nan's hand. If he saw the jade plaque, he would see His Majesty the Emperor himself. Although it was not an imperial edict, it also had the same meaning. If he dared to resist when he saw the golden jade plaque, it would be a contempt for imperial power. In serious cases, it would be a crime of beheading.

Although for practitioners, the golden-font jade plaque is not that powerful, His Majesty the Emperor represented by the golden-font jade plaque also has great checks and balances for practitioners, unless he is a practitioner as powerful as Xue Wangyou, ordinary four-level sects must obey the order of the golden-font jade plaque.

Only great figures at the level of the sect leader of the Five Realms can have a dialogue with His Majesty the Emperor at the same level, but they only have the power to refuse. For ordinary events, they must obey His Majesty the Emperor's will.

Mu Nan held a jade plaque in gold and got the trump card. Li Mengzhou was just a disciple from the palace courtyard, but he didn't have that much energy to ignore the jade plaque in gold and characters.

But Li Mengzhou was not willing to be invited by Mu Nan to the Xuanzhengsi for tea.

"Let's not talk about Zhang Chong's affairs for now. You suspect that I killed Lu Changge, so what evidence is there?"

Xie Chunfeng once waited outside the courtyard of Chaosi Lane, which was not a proof of Li Mengzhou's absence. The lie of running out to practice has been exposed by Xie Chunfeng. If Xie Chunfeng wants to use Xie Chunfeng as a proof of his absence, it will be really embarrassing once Xie Chunfeng appears.

Lu Changge died in the prison of Xuan Zhengsi, and Li Mengzhou happened to be not in Chaosi Lane at that time. Even if Xie Chunfeng was an idiot, he could think of what was going on.

Mu Nan smiled and said, "It is precisely because there is no evidence and just suspicion that Mr. Xiao Li wanted to take a trip to Xuan Zhengsi to cooperate with the investigation. I have made it clear enough. Why did Mr. Xiao Li find some inappropriate excuses? Could it be that he was going to delay time?"

Li Mengzhou really wants to delay time.

Now is not a time to act voluntarily, especially with the golden-shaped jade plaque. If he really draws his sword to face him, the consequences may be that he cannot bear. This is not because he has some concerns or fears, but it is not worth it.

His purpose of delaying time was to wait until the people from Ligong Jianyuan or Tianshuyuan appeared, or people from the mountain gate appeared. He wanted to bring this grudge back to the world of cultivation, so Xuan Zhengsi was not qualified to intervene again.

As for the killing of Zhang Chong, a military general, it is actually not a big deal. As for Li Mengzhou's disciple of the palace, Zhang Chong's status in the court can only be considered an ant-like existence. If Li Gong Sword Court's attitude is firm enough, Zhang Chong will only die in vain. Xuan Zhengsi's hand cannot be reached, and this matter will be relatively simple.

Mu Nan could probably guess Li Mengzhou's thoughts. He clenched the sword in his hand and said, "I have been polite enough to treat Mr. Xiao Li, but it seems that Mr. Xiao Li doesn't take me seriously. I sincerely want to invite Mr. Xiao Li to the Xuanzhengsi to have tea, so don't waste more time, otherwise I will no longer invite him."

Gu Shiyan stood at the door of the main hall, leaning against the door frame, her right hand holding the sword tightened slightly. She was not from Jiang, so she naturally didn't have to follow the rules of Jiang. However, directly fighting with the people from Xuan Zhengsi, and in front of the golden-font jade plaque, is a very troublesome thing. Even if the Emperor of Jiang does not blame her, she is afraid that she can't continue to stay in the capital.

But sometimes some things won’t happen if you don’t want them. Gu Shiyan is ready.

Li Mengzhou remained silent.

Just as he was about to get up from the rattan chair, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and the young disciple with a blue shirt crossed the threshold. The two brothers Xie Chunfeng and Xie Ning were led by the two.

The people who have not fallen into the mountain gate have arrived.

Although in the early morning, Xie Chunfeng had already discussed with Li Mengzhou to rescue Lu Changge from the Xuanzhengsi prison, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The incident of Lu Changge being assassinated in the Xuanzhengsi prison came into Xie Chunfeng's ears, which shocked him. Even if he suspected that Li Mengzhou was inevitable at the first time, he was still a little unbelievable.

Seeing Li Mengzhou's face again, Xie Chunfeng's tone was quite angry, "You have done too much. I should have thought that you were not in Chaosi Lane last night, so you must have done something, but I didn't expect you to go to the Xuanzhengsi prison to assassinate Lu Changge. In that case, you agreed to my proposal. I have to say that your calm appearance after killing someone is very terrible."

In his opinion, Li Mengzhou was just a young man. He never really regarded Li Mengzhou as a person of his generation or even a dangerous person. However, after this incident, he had to admit that Li Mengzhou, a young man, was really cruel.
