Yinding walked over quickly.

"My Lord, everything has been taken care of."

He glanced at Madam Wu: "Is there anything wrong with this corpse?"

Huo Changhe whispered, "Move the body into the house and guard the door."

"Yes."

Huo Changhe entered the room and untied the bandage.

When he saw that face, his eyes narrowed.

……

Mu Liangze was a little impatient, and spoke to Ma Liyu more harshly: "This general is warning you. I am talking to you nicely now and am willing to pay you some silver. If you don't know what's good for you, you will lose all the silver."

Ma Liyu smiled without changing: "That's robbery?"

Mu Liangze chuckled and lowered his head to stroke the hilt of the knife at his waist: "So what? This manor originally belonged to my son-in-law. I can even be his master, let alone a manor?"

"Even if I take back the manor, you can't do anything to me."

"Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the authorities? Even if you are an official, you can't do whatever you want, right?"

"In Youcheng, I can do whatever I want to you. Do you want to report to the police? I advise you not to think about it."

Mu Liangze looked towards the courtyard and said, "You have quite a few people here, right? It's easy for you to report to the authorities, but it's even easier for me to kill you all."

Ma Liyu chuckled: "Not necessarily."

Mu Liangze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why? Don't believe it? Then let me show you."

He raised his hand, signaling the people outside to take action. Before he could finish his words, Ma Liyu on the opposite side suddenly attacked.

Ma Liyu punched him on the side of the waist. Mu Liangze bent down, his face flushed red, and he almost fainted.

"You...you dare..."

"Pa!" Ma Liyu slapped him again.

Mu Liangze was furious: "Okay, okay, you guys are a bunch of fools, don't blame me for being cruel. Today, I will let you know who has the final say."

"Come here, arrest all the people in the village, one by one, not even a chicken will be spared!"

"Yes!" The people he brought shouted and turned around to take action.

Just at this moment, someone stumbled in, covered in dirt, with a bruised face and nose, and blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"General! Outside..."

Mu Liangze hadn't recovered yet. Ma Liyu's punch was so painful.

He held the table with one hand, feeling very irritated: "What's going on outside? I'm not afraid of anyone coming, let him get in."

After the words were spoken, someone laughed briefly, and the sound of footsteps was mixed with the clanging of armor.

Ma Liyu turned around and walked out, then he walked down the stairs and bowed, "Envoy Li."

Li Mingcheng showed some shame on his face: "No need to be polite, it's my fault, I didn't discipline my subordinates well enough, and I let such a person come out and do such a thing."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take the person back and discipline him properly. I will definitely give an explanation to the prince and princess."

Ma Liyu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for making the trip, sir. Please tell me what you want to say."

Ma Liyu spoke politely, but actually didn't respond to Li Mingcheng's words.

Li Mingcheng secretly groaned in his heart. Things had just been quiet for a few days, and then something like this happened again.

Is Mu Liangze crazy? How dare he come here and act wild!

He strode into the room. Mu Liangze looked up and his expression suddenly changed.

He came over breathlessly: "Sir, why are you here?"

"Then why are you here?" Li Mingcheng asked.

"I heard that someone was forcibly buying a manor and occupying someone's land, so I came here to take a look. Not only are they unreasonable, they are also tyrannical and overbearing. They even dared to attack me just now. It's really..."

Li Mingcheng slapped him in the face, taking back the rest of his words.

"Say it again! You are telling lies with your eyes open. Do you think I am a fool?"

"Mu Liangze, I thought you were honest and upright, but I didn't expect you to bully others like this. You really don't know what you are talking about!"

"Somebody come!"

Li Mingcheng gave an order and was about to take Mu Liangze away, but the abbot came to the bottom of the stairs and waved to Ma Liyu.

Ma Liyu stepped forward: "What's wrong? What do you want?"

"The princess said that she wanted to keep Mu Liangze. She will ask him something when she comes back later."

"clear."

Ma Liyu stepped forward and whispered something to Li Mingcheng.

Li Mingcheng was so angry that he wanted to take the man back and punish him severely. After dealing with the matter, he would apologize to Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu. By then, because of his quick work, maybe he could change their impression a little.

Now, people are coming to question me in person.

He wanted to make a contribution, but he didn't even have the chance to make up for his mistakes.

But now that things have come to this, I can only obey the arrangements.

……

Yan Ruyu was still thinking about what Madam Wu had said while sitting in the carriage on the way back.

"Your Majesty, what are her regrets and wishes?"

Huo Changhe was also thinking about Madam Wu's face. Even if she hadn't recovered yet, he could still tell who she looked like. Once she fully recovered, she would look even more like her.

What does that deep-minded and vicious woman want to do by turning her face into something as white as jade?

Hearing Yan Ruyu asking him, he suppressed his annoyance, doubt and hatred, held Yan Ruyu's hand and said: "From what she said at the time, it should be related to a man, and this person is not Mr. Mo."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Indeed, for this man, she sneaked into the Wu family, devoted herself to the Wu family master, and suffered humiliation, just to find the book that was picked up by the Wu family. When she was sure that she couldn't find it in the Wu family, she killed the Wu family members."

"Tang Yibai was also involved in the murder of the Wu family," Huo Changhe said, "Are they in the same group? Could it be that they were doing this for Tang Yibai?"

Yan Ruyu's eyes deepened slightly: "I have also thought about this possibility. Tang Yibai is outstanding, handsome, and talented. He is both civil and military. He does have this ability."

"But," Yan Ruyu shook her head again, "I think it shouldn't be him."

"If it was him, why didn't Madam Wu follow him when she destroyed the Wu family?"

"Tang Yibai has gone to Beijing and won't be back for a while," Yan Ruyu paused.

"Moreover, she once said indignantly, 'Why does Your Highness think that the stability of the border and the people's well-being are all the credit of Your Highness alone?'"

Huo Changhe frowned slightly: "It sounds like you are speaking up for someone."

"That's right." Yan Ruyu said, "If she was doing this for Tang Yibai, she wouldn't have said these words."

Yan Ruyu also felt a little regretful: "She values ​​this man very much in her heart, and she will never say a word about it."

If not, she would have a few questions to ask Mrs. Wu.

For example, what on earth had left Zhu'er's body in that state? Was the death of Mr. Wu also related to her?

Unfortunately.

Huo Changhe gently embraced her and said, "Don't think about it. She's dead. This path is blocked. There are other ways. As long as that person exists, you will know sooner or later."

As they were talking, the carriage stopped.

Yinding said in front: "My Lord, Princess, the city guards have arrived."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Li Mingcheng came so quickly that he must have been scared to death.
