The strongest Marquis in history

There was nothing he could do.

Wang Qi's words, like hitting seven inches, grasped his lifeline.

Chapter 203

Mu Jin was silent for a long time, then said: "Wang Qi, I want to see my wife, I have something to say to her."

Wang Qi said: "Impossible!"

Mu Jin gritted her teeth and said, "Can't I satisfy my last request? As long as you meet my request, I will kill myself next time, and do as you request."

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "Mu Shangshu, you have no choice. I, Wang Qi, cannot add variables to things. Once you see your wife, even if I'm there, what if you play tricks?"

"The husband and wife have been together for decades and know each other too well."

"One look is one thing."

"So, I can't agree to you. You have no other choice now. You committed suicide, and you have an explanation to King Qi and Donggong. King Qi can't pursue you anymore."

"Even, King Qi still thinks that you are loyal to him. After you die, Donggong also achieves the goal of overthrowing the Minister of the Household. As for the people of your Mu family, they are just connected by you."

Wang Qi said: "Mu Shangshu, do you understand what I said?"

Mu Jin smiled bitterly.

He sighed in his heart, and said: "Wang Qi, Wang Qi, you are really good. I have to say, you won. Donggong is lucky to have your allegiance. But let me tell you, compared to Qi Wang, the prince's temperament is even more gloomy. If you think that you already understand the prince, you are very wrong. Prince, it is not for you to understand."

Wang Qi smiled lightly: "Mu Shangshu, there is no need to sow discord."

Mu Jin said: "When a person is about to die, his words are good. What I say now is from my heart. As for whether you believe it or not, that is up to you. A person like me is already a dead person."

Wang Qi sneered.

If he is really loyal to the East Palace, Mu Jin's words may really work.

Unfortunately, Wang Qi did not play for Zhao Yu.

Mu Jin's words had no effect on Wang Qi.

Wang Qi said: "Mu Shangshu, do you have any regrets, or something you want to convey."

Mu Jin thought for a while, then said again: "Wang Qi, tell my wife, tell her to take your family away from Chang'an, don't go back to Kuaiji, find a place to live in seclusion."

Wang Qi said: "I can't convey this."

Mu Jin asked, "Why?"

Wang Qi replied: "If I convey this sentence in person, wouldn't it be telling your family that I forced you to death? Even if the news spread, it would be equivalent to telling Zhao Zhi that I knew about your death. So this sentence , I can't convey it. Your death, you committed suicide, has nothing to do with me. "

Mu Jin frowned, and said, "Wang Qi, are you playing tricks on me? I just asked you to convey the words, but you said you couldn't convey them. I am a dying person, why bother playing tricks on me like this?"

Wang Qidao: "Mu Shangshu played tricks on you, so what? You are already in trouble. To put it bluntly, if the Mu family violated the law, you are already in the game. Of course, unless you are ruthless, no matter what Mu Family, regardless of your son, regardless of your family. Even so, you will no longer be able to serve as Minister of the Household Department."

Mu Jin snorted and stopped talking.

Wang Qi is too cruel.

At this moment, Mu Jin sighed even more. Zhao Zhi and Wang Qi's plan to be enemies was absolutely wrong.

Even, Fu Yanqing was wrong from the very beginning.If Fu Yanqing had gone to Youzhou and adopted the strategy of wooing Cui Dongshan instead of dealing with Cui Dongshan, there would be no such result today.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine.

Wang Qidao: "Mu Jin, do you know why I tease you like this?"

Mu Jin said, "Why?"

Wang Qi said: "The reason is very simple. I read your Mu Jin's information. Back then, when my father guarded Yuyang County in Youzhou and started a war with Xianbei, he lacked military pay and food."

"At that time, you should have allocated funds early to ensure that my father's food supply would not be affected."

"However, your delay in appropriating funds has caused a lot of losses to my father who guards Yuyang. Since that time, my father has started to pay attention to the accumulation of food and money, so as not to get stuck all the time."

Wang Qidao: "This is also a reason."

Mu Jin said: "That is the order of His Majesty the Emperor, what does it have to do with me? I am just following the order to execute it."

Wang Qidao: "Even so, it involves the lives of countless soldiers in the frontier. Mu Jin, although you didn't leave anything behind, you have done too many bad things in your life."

Mu Jin said: "So what? I don't regret it."

Wang Qi nodded and said, "You're right, you won't regret it. So, benevolent will be rewarded."

After a pause, Wang Qi said: "Forget it, let's get down to business, let's get back to the point. If you want to send a message to your family, there is no problem. I can let someone secretly send a message. But why should I help you?"

Mu Jin raised her brows, and secretly thought that Wang Qi was too sophisticated in handling things.

The mind is even deeper.

Not at all like a young man.

Every word and deed, every move, is like an old fox, more like a Zhou skinning, not letting go of any benefits.

Just now Wang Qi said so many things, and even played tricks on him. In Mu Jin's view, in the final analysis, it was for profit, for Mu Jin to pay the price now.

This is the fundamental purpose.

Mu Jin deliberately refused, not wanting to benefit Wang Qi, but when she thought of herself now, the only way to protect her family is to die.

So, you still have to talk.

Mu Jin rolled his eyes, and he said, "Wang Qi, I'm in the west of Chang'an City, and there is a house in Yong'an Square. This house is on Xihua Street in Yong'an Square, at the end of the street."

"The yard is locked all the year round, and almost no one goes there. There are two stone lions at the gate of the yard, you can tell it at a glance."

"In the backyard study, there is a secret door. This secret door is the bookshelf of the study, which can be moved. After the bookshelf is moved, there is a secret cellar behind it, where the money I have accumulated over the years is hidden."

"About 30 taels of silver and 5 taels of gold."

"The money is all for you."

Mu Jin continued: "I'll give you the money, and you arrange someone to send a letter to my old wife, asking him to leave Chang'an with his family after my death, and when the situation is a little stable, don't stay in Chang'an, and don't go back to Chang'an." Kuaiji County."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "No problem, I agree to the matter. Mu Jin, I hope your words are true. If you lied to me, your family will definitely not leave Chang'an safely."

When Mu Jin heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and the expression on her face suddenly became unnatural.

Wang Qi smiled lightly and said, "Mu Jin, is there any problem with the residence in the west of the city?"

Mu Jin smiled sheepishly and replied: "Yes, there is a little problem. When you enter the study, when you remove the bookshelf, you cannot face the bookshelf directly, because there are organs, and steel needles, bows and arrows will be shot out. When you enter, you only need to stand Just set it aside, wait until the bookshelf is fully opened, and after the bows and arrows and steel needles are shot, you can enter the secret room and take all the money.”

Wang Qi clicked his tongue and said, "Mu Jin, Mu Jin, you are really ruthless."

Mu Jin smiled sarcastically again.

He wanted to plot against Wang Qi, but unexpectedly, Wang Qi actually threatened him, so he had no choice but to tell the truth, otherwise his wife and children would not survive.

Wang Qi said: "Mu Shangshu, I have already asked the person who should ask. Next, it is you."

Mu Jin said: "Young Master, can you prepare a meal of wine and meat?"

"can!"

Wang Qi nodded.

He got up and walked out of the cell, and asked the jailer in charge of guarding the prison to deliver wine and meat directly, so that Mu Jin could have a full meal.As for the follow-up, Wang Qi never cared about it.

Everything is said and done.

Wang Qi returned to his office in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and continued to read the files.About an hour later, a jailer quickly knocked on Wang Qi's door, entered in a hurry, and reported: "Young Lord, something is wrong. Mu Jin is dead, and he committed suicide with a hairpin."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Go invite Ning Shangshu to come, I have something important to discuss."

"Yes!"

The servant turned and went down to deliver the order.

Not long after, Ning Wuchen came in a hurry.On the way here, Ning Wuchen also heard about Mu Jin's suicide. He frowned and said, "Young Lord, Mu Jin is dead, what should we do? Right now, there is no public trial yet!"

Chapter 204 The Emperor's Temptation

Wang Qi looked at Ning Wuchen's eager look, smiled lightly, and said in a calm manner: "Ning Shangshu, what are you worried about? Mu Jin died, and he committed suicide, which is tantamount to committing suicide in fear of crime. Under such circumstances, it is even more proof that Mu Jin's question. Ning Shangshu doesn't have to worry about this."

Ning Wuchen still frowned.

He was very worried. After all, Wang Qi committed suicide within an hour after seeing Mu Jin.

There is a problem here!

Ning Wuchen was even a little at a loss.

Wang Qi looked at Ning Wuchen's flustered look, and said again: "Ning Shangshu, the essence of Donggong's dealing with Mu Jin is to overthrow Mu Jin. Mu Jin died and committed suicide in fear of crime, so the post of Minister of the Household Department is vacant. That's all. One point, the purpose of the East Palace has been completed. You should be glad that the matter has been completed, so there is no need to worry about it."

Ning Wuchen thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was the truth, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Young Lord, I'm the one who got the picture, some authorities are obsessed."

Wang Qi said: "Ning Shangshu, everything is up to me."

Ning Wuchen nodded.

The interrogation this time is mainly about Wang Qi, after all Wang Qi is the candidate appointed by the emperor.

Wang Qi stood up and said: "Mu Jin is dead, there is no delay, I will go to the palace to report."

Ning Wuchen said: "Young Lord, be careful and don't be careless."

Wang Qi said no more, and went to the imperial city after leaving the Ministry of Punishment.When he came to the gate of the palace and said that he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, the guards directly brought Wang Qi into the palace and went straight to the outside of the Tai Chi Hall.

The guard signaled Wang Qi to wait a moment, and went straight inside to report.

Not long after, the guard came out and waved his hand to signal Wang Qi to enter.

Wang Qi entered the hall and saluted, "Your Majesty."

With a faint smile on Zhao Zhen's face, he asked, "Wang Qi, what is the important matter for you to enter the palace?"

Wang Qi replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason why I came to the palace is because Mu Jin committed suicide in prison. There is no need for another trial when the matter has come to this point, and I have come to deal with it."

Zhao Zhen was a little surprised, even a little unbelievable, and asked, "How could this be?"

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know that Mu Jin is actually going to commit suicide in fear of crime. After I entered the Ministry of Punishment, I first read all the files about Mu Jin and the Mu family, and then went to see Mu Jin."

"When I see Mu Jin, let him honestly explain the crimes he committed."

"Mu Jin said he never committed a crime."

"I also told Mu Jin that no matter what Mu Jin said, the crime committed by Mu Jin and the Mu family will be dealt with impartially, and I will deal with it as I want, and will not tolerate it."

Wang Qi talked eloquently, and said: "At that time, Mu Jin was still clenching his teeth, saying that he didn't know what the Mu family was doing. I didn't say anything more, and went back to the Ministry of Punishment. I continued to read the files, about half an hour later , Mu Jin committed suicide with a hairpin."

Zhao Zhen asked: "Wang Qi, are you really just asking Mu Jin to confess the crimes you committed?"

At this moment, Zhao Zhen's tone was full of complaints.

He doesn't want to change the situation.

The problem is that Mu Jin committed suicide in fear of crime, which changed the situation of the court.

For a moment, Zhao Zhen was caught off guard.

Wang Qi looked calm, and continued: "Your Majesty, I went to see Mu Jin for one thing, to understand the situation. If Mu Jin is innocent, then he should be returned. If Mu Jin committed a crime, he must be dealt with. .As for the Mu family, how to deal with it, that's how to deal with it. The rest, I didn't ask too much. For me, I just deal with this matter."

Zhao Zhen just nodded.

There is nothing wrong with what Wang Qi said, it is quite right.

Wang Qi continued: "I didn't expect Mu Jin to choose to commit suicide. I don't know what Mu Jin is thinking. If Mu Jin really didn't make any mistakes and didn't have any problems, he couldn't commit suicide."

Zhao Zhen suddenly asked: "Tell me, why did Mu Jin commit suicide?"

Wang Qi said: "I really don't know what Mu Jin was thinking. However, I speculate that the reason why he committed suicide was because of the consideration of the Mu family. If he died alone, the disaster would not hurt his family. Crime. That's why the entire Mu family can be protected. The rest, I can't think of."

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes.

He took a careful look at Wang Qi, with suspicion in his eyes, but he still chose to trust Wang Qi.

Because Wang Qi and Mu Jin have no conflict of interest.

Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Forget it, since Mu Jin is dead, the case ends here, and there will be no further interrogation against Mu Jin. According to the law, the Mu family will deal with what should be done, and we cannot tolerate it."

"Yes!"
