Herb Family [Rebirth]

When Xiao Zuo's people took Xiao Qi away, they didn't deliberately hide their tracks, it can be said that they were very arrogant, they just wanted people to know who the person who kidnapped Xiao Qi was.

After An Yi led his men to chase after him, he quickly found the place where Xiao Qi was being held.

It's just that Xiao Qi was locked in a tightly guarded courtyard, and An Yi and the others circled around several times, but they couldn't find any flaws, and the guards didn't let up in the slightest.

There are a lot of guards guarding the outside of the yard, and even a few can't go head-on. After all, there is a huge difference in the number of people. It is hard to beat four hands with one punch. No matter how hard they can fight, they cannot withstand the large number of enemies.

Looking at the troops guarding outside the courtyard, he secretly cursed, did King Zuo's insanity move the entire barracks here?

Because the courtyard was guarded like an iron barrel, the people in Anyi and the others could only stare at the courtyard.

This is really frustrating. It is clear that His Highness the Crown Prince has been found, but he cannot be rescued.

Several people tried their best, but they couldn't get in. In the end, they had no choice but to retreat temporarily, so as not to be discovered if they stayed any longer.

As soon as a few people retreated, Mu Qi led them to the town where Xiao Qi was.

Mu Qi brought people here, not because he wanted to rescue Xiao Qi out of selfishness, but because he found some clues and wanted to come over to investigate clearly.

These clues seemed to be related to his biological mother and the Mu family. He was worried and decided to go there himself.

It was also a coincidence that after Xiao Qi was taken away, Mu Qi's yard was naturally checked thoroughly, only then did he find that an eunuch serving Xiao Qi was actually Xiao Zuo's man.

As the eunuch's identity was revealed, other people were involved.

The eunuch took Xiao Qi away, but the others were dragged out before they left, some committed suicide by taking poison as soon as they were discovered, some were greedy for life and afraid of death, they couldn't survive the torture and quickly opened their mouths.

Among them, the Mu family was involved.

Mu Qi's face was serious when he heard this, now the Mu family has managed to get up again, the most promising person in the Mu family is Mu Xuanji, the servant of the household department, that is, his own uncle.

If the Mu family and King Zuo get involved, I'm afraid they will be ordered to confiscate their family and exterminate their clan in the future.

After all, now King Zuo made it clear that he wanted to rebel.

Therefore, Mu Qi who got the news couldn't sit still, he had to confirm it himself, did anyone in the Mu family collude with Xiao Zuo?

However, because the matter was so important, Mu Qi didn't dare to write this matter in the letter, lest someone with a heart get it, it would be bad.

So he only asked someone to bring a message to Bai Heng, saying that he was going out for a trip. As for the destination and return date, Mu Qi did not say for the time being.

And Bai Heng, who got the news, was of course jumping in a hurry.

Seeing that he was so anxious, Xiao Yu sent someone to help him find out Mu Qi's whereabouts.

As a result, before the person he sent went, he received the news from An Yi.

The news not only said that His Royal Highness was found, but also the whereabouts of Mu Qi.

Xiao Yu had been in the top position for a long time, so he saw that there was a problem, so he asked people to bring all the people in Mu Qi's courtyard.

After asking around, he found out about the Mu family.

After pondering for a while, he said to An'er: "Pass the letter back to Beijing, and Mu Shilang will come over immediately to defend himself."

After Mu Xuanji in the capital received the news, he broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and before he had time to pack his luggage, he informed Shang Shu and quietly left the capital for Tongcheng.

Mu Xuanji rushed to Tongcheng non-stop, and immediately went to see Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu didn't ask him anything when he saw him, but just gave him the information from the investigation.

Mu Xuanji took it tremblingly, and after scanning ten lines at a glance, his face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down as soon as his legs softened.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Mu Xuanji didn't know what to say anymore, the above evidence was convincing, that someone from the Mu family far south of the mausoleum actually colluded with Xiao Zuo.

"Get up first." Xiao Yu still trusted Mu Xuanji, otherwise he wouldn't have promoted Mu Xuanji after he ascended the throne.It's just that Xiao Qi was taken away, and now it was found that the Mu family was also involved in it, so he couldn't help feeling angry at Mu Xuanji.

Mu Xuanji got up tremblingly, and stood on the spot precariously. Xiao Yu asked someone to take him down to watch over him.

Believe it or not, the necessary procedures still have to be followed. Mu Xuanji was dismissed from the position of servant of the household department and locked up as a criminal.

After Mu Xuanji was put under guard, Xiao Yu sent someone back to the capital quietly to put Mu Xuanji's family members under guard.

On the other hand, after Mu Qi arrived in the town where Xiao Qi was located, after spending a lot of time inquiring, he actually let him hitch up the Mu family.

Mu Qi used the pseudonym Lu Sanbai, so the Mu family did not recognize him.

Mu Qi pretended to be a son of a rich family traveling in the mountains and rivers, and took his men to play around. When he came to this town, he heard that the wine brewed in the town was famous, so he refused to leave.

The arrival of Mu Qi naturally attracted the attention of Xiao Zuo and his party, but they observed for a few days and found that there was nothing unusual about Mu Qi and his party, so they ignored them.

It's just that Xiao Zuo became suspicious and sent someone to find out if Mu Qi's identity was real.

Fortunately, Mu Qi and Bai Heng had lived in the capital for a period of time, and they were familiar with the well-known playboys and children of aristocratic families in the capital.

This time, he played the role of a young man who was said to have been studying abroad all year round and never returned home.

Therefore, when Xiao Zuo's people inquired, they found that there was indeed such a person. After reporting to Xiao Zuo, he dispelled his suspicion and stopped paying attention to Mu Qi and his party.

In this way, Mu Qi hooked up with the Mu family under Xiao Zuo's nose, and they got acquainted not long after.

After several twists and turns, the Mu family has risen again, but in fact there are already differences within.

Mu Xuanji was far away in the capital, so naturally he didn't know the situation in his hometown. Almost all members of Mu Xuanji's clan were gone, so the head of the Mu family was a member of the side branch.

The members of the Mu family have been secretly communicating with Xiao Zuo behind Mu Xuanji's back. After Mu Xuanji's clan members found out, they wanted to write a letter to expose the matter to Mu Xuanji. All the people in Mu Xuanji's branch were silenced.

Since then, Mu Xuanji has no way of knowing all the actions of the Mu family in Lingnan. Every year he sends back the New Year's goods, and he only receives everything safe in return.

Even the servants who sent back the New Year's goods were bought by the patriarch, who forged the illusion that everything was well for the clan.

This is how he deceived Mu Xuanji for many years. ...

Mu Qi listened to Mu Jizong's eloquence in front of him, and the chill in his heart became deeper and deeper.

He suppressed his anger and continued to persuade him to drink. Mu Jizong was drunk, but he still picked up the glass and continued to drink.

Mu Qi took the opportunity to ask: "According to what you said just now, you are not afraid that Mu Shilang will find out about it in the future and will settle accounts with you?"

"Mu Shilang? Where does he know to go? His family is dead, who else can tell him? Hahaha..." Mu Jizong tried to widen his eyes and said with his tongue out.

"Didn't I hear that Mu Shilang's nephew has been found? I also heard that his nephew has a good relationship with His Highness. What if his nephew senses something wrong?" Mu Qi asked again.

"Nephew? Oh... You mean that bastard from the Lu family? Hey, what's there to be afraid of a person who sells his ass? Besides, let me tell you, shhh, this is a secret, so it can't be leaked out... what a waste Prince, when the prince is done, Xiao Qi will not be the prince anymore, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"It seems that you have great confidence in the prince?"

"Of course, the lord is both civil and military, and a man of great talent, so he will definitely succeed."

"But now that the world is rich and the court is strong, how can the prince succeed?"

"Tsser ... you don't know ... Ts. ... but there is a strange soldier ... Hehe ... No one knows ... Hush ... Huh ... Huh ..." Mu Jizong said, the first one Crooked and fell asleep.

Mu Qi originally wanted to wake him up and ask him what a strange soldier is, but Mu Jizong was too drunk to wake him up at all.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up and let Mu Jizong be carried back to his room.

But tonight he has asked a lot of news.

So he hurriedly wrote down all the news, then found an unremarkable boy, and told him to hand over the letter to Bai Heng.

The servant got the order, stuffed the letter into his bosom, and then pretended to be a little beggar and quietly left the small town.

The boy's departure did not attract attention, and when Mu Jizong sobered up the next day, he also forgot what he had said to Mu Qi the night before.

Mu Qi continued to bother to deal with Mu Jizong, and deliberately showed his ambition to do something big. Mu Jizong saw it, but said nothing.

Until a few days later, Mu Jizong quietly asked Mu Qi: "Do you really want to do something big?"

"Yes." Mu Qi nodded.

"Well, I happen to have an opportunity here, and it will be a big deal if it is guaranteed to be done. I'm afraid you dare not do it." Mu Jizong deliberately used words to stimulate Mu Qi.

"What's the big deal?" Mu Qi asked calmly, not being fooled.

"It's very simple, I'll take you to meet someone later, and you try to let that person eat this." Mu Jizong took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and stuffed it into Mu Qi's hand.

Mu Qi only felt that the porcelain bottle in his hand seemed to be extremely hot, but he still had to hold it tightly.

"What's in it?" Mu Qi asked.

"You can't kill someone, so don't ask, that person offended the prince, and the prince just wants to teach him a lesson." Mu Jizong was afraid that Mu Qi would not dare to do it, so he tried his best to fool him.

"Besides, don't you want to see the prince? If you can do this, I will take you to see the prince." Mu Jizong saw that Mu Qi had not agreed for a long time, so he threw out more powerful bait.

"Really?" Mu Qi pretended to be excited and asked.

"Of course it is true." Mu Jizong patted his chest and assured.

"...Okay." Mu Qi put on a thoughtful look again, and nodded in agreement after a long time.

"Okay, let's go." Mu Jizong took the lead and walked out, but stopped after walking a few steps, and said to Mu Qi: "Remember, don't ask more questions than you should. The more you know, the more dead you will be." Come on, you know?"

"Understood." Mu Qi nodded, and followed Mu Jizong out with his heart pounding.
