Bright Spring

A boat was quietly leaning against the river, and a group of Beisi officers and soldiers hid men and horses in it and did not come out; besides, there was a courtyard to the west of the mass grave, the owner didn't live there, and he had died. It was rented by someone from Beisi.

Recently, the eunuch Wang Yin was also sent to the imperial kitchen as an errand, and followed the eunuch Cao Fu, the eunuch of Shangshan, out of the palace once to buy food in the city.With Wang Gui's instruction, Wang Yin took the food box and took the opportunity of the comprador to go out of the palace, and went to the prison to meet Wang Gou'er again.

Zhu Gaoxu used many people to handle this case.But everything was silent, and it was difficult for people to see signs that a major case was being investigated.

The two traps were set there, and after several days, there was still no movement.

This kind of method really depends on luck and opportunity, if the other party takes the initiative to throw himself into the trap, otherwise there is nothing they can do; at the moment everyone can only wait for the opportunity like this.

Day by day, Zhu Gaoxu asked about this matter from time to time, and he already felt in his heart: Maybe the case will be fruitless again... That Ma Gong seems to be very cunning and cautious, and he shows no sign of showing up at all!

As long as Ma Gong doesn't show up, Gao Xianning and others have no way to find out who this person is!But now it seems that Ma Gong may not show up again in the future.

Zhu Gaoxu held his breath and prepared to wait a few more days, so he ordered Yao Fang to handle the relocation of Wang's cemetery.If no one can be found in this way, the case will lose its clue again!

And this matter can only be investigated secretly, Zhu Gaoxu is not very willing to issue a wanted|arrest order and arrest that person in various places in Ming Dynasty; if too many people know about it, it will be very detrimental to his overall situation of stabilizing the throne.

Chapter 6 Thirteen

The elite circle of the capital is undergoing gradual changes.This process was very fast, and more and more big shots from the former Hanwangfu Group came to Beijing one after another.

The Dinghuai Gate in the outer city of the capital, which is sunny and sunny, is beating gongs and drums.The whole Mu family and Wei Da, one of the three guards of the King of Han's house, have disembarked from the pier;

Cars, guards of honor, guards and entourage are mighty and mighty; its noble status can be seen only by the number of people traveling.There are also officials from the imperial court who came to greet you, officials, etc., as well as passers-by who stopped and watched;

In the carriage team of Mu's family members, Mu Zhen, mother and daughter were sitting in a carriage.Mu Zhen is almost 20 years old and has not yet married; but Xiping Hou Mu Sheng is not in a hurry, because he has long guessed that the eldest daughter must be the imperial concubine.

The car curtain was opened by a small corner, and Mu Zhen was looking outside.Her small face with exquisite and beautiful features has lost a bit of youthfulness and livelyness, and has a bit more beauty. At her current age, her body has completely grown up.

Mu Zhen lived in Yunnan most of the time since she was a child, but in the past year or so, she lived in Chengdu, Sichuan's chief envoy.

Sichuan's soil and water climate really nourishes people, not only warm and humid|humid, but also almost no wind; and when women grow up, their skin will become more delicate.

Today's Mu Zhen's skin is whiter and smoother than before, as if water can be squeezed out.The appearance is also becoming more and more beautiful, the big black eyes are very energetic, the lips are small and vermilion, and the delicate facial features are very delicate and beautiful on the jade-white face.

Her face was still a little tired and pale, and she didn't seem to be in a good spirit after sitting on the boat for too long.But Mu Zhen's eyebrows seemed to be smiling naturally, at this moment she was still in high spirits, eager to enjoy the scenery of the capital.

The Mu family has always been an aristocrat who is close to the royal family. Mu Zhen came to the capital when she was a child, but her memory is a bit vague after so long.She looked at the Lion Rock in the north, and then turned her head to look at the rivers and lakes, water pavilions, and beautiful flowers behind her.Before entering the city, the richness, beauty and boundless spring of the capital have already appeared in front of my eyes.

Compared with Kunming city at this time, the capital is indeed much better!As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital gathers wealth from all over the world, and it is on the waterway of the great river; its prosperity and wealth are the highest in the world.The scenery in the capital is really beautiful everywhere in spring, which makes people dizzy.

Such a happy trip, but suddenly there is an unsatisfactory voice!

Suddenly someone shouted on the side of the road: "The master of the old slave's family is Geng Hao. I beg Mu's cousin, for the sake of the old lady (Mu Geng's), save the life of the old slave master! Help!"

In the carriage, Mu Zhen's mother, Mrs. Chen, immediately had a sad expression on her face when she heard the voice, and Mrs. Chen blurted out, "This Geng Hao is really lingering... There are so many people outside, and his family members are yelling. what!"

Mu Zhen moved to the other side, lifted the curtain of the car, looked outside for a while, and saw the old man who was shouting.The old man was stopped by Mufu guards, but his voice was so loud that everyone around could hear him shouting from a distance.

"Don't look at it." Chen told angrily.

Mu Zhen put down the curtain obediently, without saying anything.

Mrs. Chen quickly said to the people outside the carriage: "Hurry up and send someone to deal with it, don't let him shout there, what are you talking about!"

The voice of the butler outside said: "Madam calm down, the villain will go to do it immediately, my little ones, take the old man back to the mansion first; then ask Madam to show me."

After a while, the old slave outside yelled a few times, but it really didn't make any sound.It should be the housekeeper who went to greet someone... As long as he promises to bring back the old slave of the Geng family and listen to his complaints; the old slave will naturally not have to shout anymore.

Chen's mood seems to have been disturbed, and his face is very ugly.She glanced at Mu Zhen and said: "Our Mu family is a family with status and face, there is really no way to deal with this kind of person! Who told you that you really had a marriage contract with that Geng Hao?"

Mu Zhen looked at her mother innocently, and muttered: "I didn't make the marriage contract, let alone regret it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't refute, so she said angrily: "You girl is still talking back! Your brother is so obedient... Sigh!"

This time Mu Zhen's expression also turned down, as if she was about to cry.She sat silently in the car, with no smile on her face...

The Mu family had been in Yunnan before, but they had a mansion in the capital; when Mu Bin was a hostage in the capital, he lived there.This time when the Mu family came to Beijing, everything was in a hurry, so the group settled down in the original Mu family mansion for now.

When Mrs. Chen came here, she thought of her only son again, and she couldn't help but feel sad again; it made the originally happy day a little sad...Xiping Hou Musheng heard that it was Geng Hao's matter, and immediately stated that he do not care!Mu Sheng was busy writing the memorial, so he asked Mrs. Chen to come forward to appease the Geng family members, send them away and stop making trouble.

...In an upside-down room at the gate of Mu Mansion, when the housekeeper brought the old slave in, Mrs. Chen was sitting in the upper seat.Mu Zhen also stood aside and listened.

As soon as the servant of the Geng family entered the door, he knelt down on the ground and began to cry miserably. While crying, he said: "The master of the old slave family was arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to prison. He said that he was in collusion with the rebellious party Yuan Gong. I am afraid that he will be sentenced to a serious crime! Please!" Mrs. Mu is looking at the old lady's affection and the only descendant of the Geng family, saving a life!"

Chen frowned and said, "What's going on? Why did Geng Hao collude with the rebellious party? Get up and talk."

The servant got up from the ground, choked up and said: "Mrs. Mu, wasn't Yuan Gong the minister of the Taichang Temple in the imperial court before? At that time, the puppet dynasty was in power, and Yuan Gong was a celebrity in front of the imperial court. The master (Geng Hao) wanted to take advantage of the power of the Yuan family. So he married a woman who claimed to be a relative of the Yuan family! Now that Yuan Gong has fallen, the master has been implicated... Mrs. Mu, please listen to the old slave first, the master is actually wronged! That woman is not Yuan Gong's clan relative, but is A prostitute from Yuan Gong's house! She is still stealing from Geng's house..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "Hero I, Marquis of Changxing, if he knows what the descendants have done, how would he be angry? A house prostitute? He's really humiliated!"

After hearing this, the servant hurriedly bowed to Mu Zhen: "I beg Mrs. Mu to take into account the previous affection and help to say something. As long as the Mu family speaks to the Holy One, my master will be saved."

When Mu Zhen heard him talking about "the relationship in the past", she became nervous for a while.She hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Mother, this matter cannot be interceded by our family."

After hearing this, the servant stood there in surprise, with a dazed and disappointed expression on his face.

Mu Zhen thought for a while, and said kindly to the servant: "For the sake of grandma, the Mu family has helped Geng Hao many times. Now you shouldn't beg the Mu family anymore, you should go to the Wu family."

"The Wu family?" The servant was stunned for a moment.

Mu Zhen nodded, and said briskly, "Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao."

The servant looked puzzled: "However, my master once divorced Wu Gao's daughter and humiliated Wu Gao. The two families have already formed a big grievance! Now going to ask for help, isn't it self-inflicted humiliation?"

Mu Zhen was a little distracted recalling the past, she recovered, and said a little unhappy: "My cousin Geng Hao is too self-respecting, is one of his servants also so noble?"

The servant hurriedly said: "Don't dare. The old slave said that he only went to ask Wu Gao right now. I'm afraid it won't work at all! Wu Gao used to be an enemy of the Holy One, and now he hates the Geng family..."

Mu Zhen shook her head and said: "In the past, my cousin wanted to be famous. I didn't dislike whether he had a high position. I just wanted to help him because I saw him so persistent. I persuaded him several times to vote for King of Han, which was his only choice." There is a way. But he won't listen, he can't let go of his face.

Since he is unwilling to succumb to the king of Han and wants to make a fortune in Yunnan, there is no way out!However, he couldn't calm down and live an ordinary life, and he was reduced to the present situation.

He even betrayed the Mu family!Although our family is generous and tolerant, we can no longer treat him like before.Cousin has reached the current situation, the only way out is Wu Gao.Don't take my words as wind on your ears, so give it a try.I don't hate my cousin anymore, so there's no point in hurting him. "

Chen Shi suddenly looked at Mu Zhen with strange eyes, and said softly: "I am a mother, I don't know, you have such knowledge before?"

A smile appeared on Mu Zhen's delicate face, her sweet appearance was very innocent and well-behaved.

Chen muttered: "Your father always takes you by his side, maybe I was really negligent before..."

The servant looked skeptical, and asked again: "Madam, are you really not speaking for the Geng family?"

Chen said: "Zhen'er is right. The Mu family has been benevolent to Geng Hao long ago. You can't keep asking for too much! Go to Wu Gao's house and try it, don't come to Mu's house to yell! Forget the grievances, don't force|press too much!"

The servant sighed "ah" and kowtowed again.
