Confused the world

Chapter 119 Witness

Huangfu Jingyan looked at the woman standing in the hall in amazement. She was dressed in a fiery red phoenix robe, and the pair of lifelike golden phoenixes on her body raised their heads to the sky as if they were flying. Looking from a distance, the phoenix Rebirth from the ashes seems to be in sight.

That ink-splashed ink hair poured down like a waterfall, and a simple bun was tied on the head, which was inserted with a phoenix feather pearl hairpin.The cheeks that were originally pale, now had a few traces of blood because of the fiery red clothes.

After taking off the attire of being a married woman, this look is even more stunning.I thought that white was the most suitable for her temperament, but this fiery red color made her more aloof and unoffensive.

"Flat body."

The voice was still so cold that it was hard to see that there would be other expressions on her face, or other emotional changes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Qingcheng got up slowly, raised her head and looked directly at Huangfu Jingyan who was sitting on top of the hall.

Huangfu Jingyan looked at the woman standing in the main hall with his blue eyes, she was a little strange at the moment, her eyes were no longer laziness and calculation in the past, but more alienated, cold, and unattainable.

"Master Mu, is there something wrong to see me?"

"Minnv heard that the prince caught the traitor in Xiaoyaolou and brought him into the palace to face the saint. Minnv was afraid that someone would pretend to be a person from Xiaoyaolou to assassinate His Majesty, so that Xiaoyaolou would be charged with killing the king."

Mu Qingcheng said neither humble nor overbearing, especially the words "traitor" and "regicide" deliberately increased the volume.Who is the prince, she doesn't say, everyone knows who it is.Mu Wei didn't intend to intervene in what his daughter was doing, but just stood aside and watched the development of the matter.

Huangfu Jinghao has learned a lot about how to be an official in the imperial court in the past few months, and he has become calmer and more self-reliant.There are many surprises in my heart about Mu Qingcheng's coming here, and the more reason is that she is the owner of Xiaoyao Building.Suddenly thinking of the knowledge she taught me in the past, I was deeply impressed.

When I first learned it, I thought it was all useless things. After entering the court as an official and experiencing some things, I realized her good intentions.The way of being a person and the way of being a king that she taught may be a little too smooth, but when it is actually used, it is very practical. Not only that, but more importantly, those things can at least help oneself resolve some potential dangers.

Huangfu Jingrui was even more astonished, she didn't know that this woman had other identities, such an astonishing one, and she was someone her father wanted to get rid of with all her heart.My heart was a little dazed at this moment.

"The traitor of Xiaoyaolou, but King Yixin brought the person who exposed Xiaoyaolou's collaborating with the enemy and traitor?"

Huangfu Jingyan had a cold face, and his voice did not have any warmth.

"Yes, Minnv heard from her subordinates that there is a traitor in Xiaoyaolou, and she has not been caught so far. I didn't expect to be caught by King Yixin."

Mu Qingcheng said it with a righteous face, and there was a sense of self-blame in his eyes.

"What do you think, King Yixin?"

Huangfu Jingyan turned his gaze to King Yixin, wanting to hear his opinion.

"Your Majesty, this is her excuse to escape guilt. In order to expose Xiaoyaolou's conspiracy, that person escaped from death and found me, so that these traitors who seek glory can be brought to justice."

King Yixin bowed his hands and bowed his body to salute.

"Really? It seems that King Yixin and the host Xiaoyao have different opinions, so how should the lovers choose?"

Huangfu Jingyan threw the question to the ministers in the hall, watching those ministers whispering and looking around, he also knew what they were thinking.

Regardless of Mu Qingcheng's status, she is His Majesty's favorite concubine and Mu Wei's daughter. With such an status, who would dare to speak out?Unless you don't want to mix in officialdom.

But there are always some outcropping youths who will stand up, and Prime Minister Zuo Ouyang Chong will stand up and speak.

"Your Majesty, this betrayal of the country and seeking glory is related to the fate of the Huangfu Dynasty, so it should be dealt with strictly."

"Prime Minister Zuo, is it too important for ordinary people to betray the country and seek glory? The Xiaoyao Building is in business, one does not participate in politics, and the other does not deal with the officialdom, how can you betray the country and seek glory?"

The corners of Mu Qingcheng's lips raised slightly, and she looked at Ouyang Chong with a faint smile.

"Lord Mu, this Xiaoyao Building's business must be available all over the country, and it is estimated that there will be many in the enemy's country. If you want to inquire about the news of the Huangfu Dynasty, you can still do it with the strength of Xiaoyao Building. What do you think, Master Mu ?”

"Yes, but what is the truth? Shouldn't there be physical evidence? That person said that Xiaoyaolou was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, so I'd like to see what he said and the evidence."

Mu Qingcheng was not in a hurry, and still kept a gentle smile.completely unaffected by what others say.

"Since that's the case, King Yixin, you send another witness to confront Louzhu Mu. Wouldn't the result be better?"

Huangfu Jingyan didn't know what method Mu Qingcheng was planning to find to resolve the Xiaoyao Building's incident this time, but she might not be able to pass the test smoothly against King Yixin's people alone.

"Your Majesty is right, I will send someone to pass it on."

King Yixin turned around and said to the guard at the door, asking someone to lead him.

After the guards went down, the hall returned to silence.Not even a whisperer.They have doubts and fears in their hearts.Afraid of speaking inappropriate words and annoying the people present.

Everyone was patiently waiting for the guards who brought people here. After three incense sticks, they finally saw the guards hurriedly bringing people here.

"Report to Your Majesty, the person has been brought."

The guard knelt down to report.

"Okay, bring someone in."

"promise."

The guard retreated, brought the man in, and retreated.

"Grassman Jia Xiran sees His Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

"Flat body."

Looking at the kneeling people in His Highness, Huangfu Jingyan felt a little cold in his heart.This person doesn't look like much.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jia Xiran got up and retreated to King Yixin's side, and looked up at him.

"Jia Xiran, do you know the person standing opposite?"

Huangfu Jingyan fixed his eyes on Mu Qingcheng again, watching her keep looking at Jia Xiran, the expression on her face didn't change at all, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Jia Xiran raised his head to look at Mu Qingcheng, looked at him from top to bottom for a long time, and finally bowed and said: "This girl is Murong Hanying's friend, and they have a very good relationship. It should be said that the relationship between the two is unusual."

Few people know Mu Qingcheng's identity, and those who have met her will not think of her as the landlord. First, she is usually most afraid of Murong Hanying. As long as Murong Hanying says, she almost obeys; second , she has never been involved in anything in Xiaoyaolou. It should be said that no one knows that she is helping Xiaoyaolou behind her back.

"Oh, are you sure? Do you know the owner of Xiaoyao Building?"

Huangfu Jingyan was obviously a little surprised by such an answer, and wondered in his heart if not many people knew about Mu Qingcheng's identity.

"I don't know each other. The host never shows up. It is Deacon Murong who is in charge of the affairs of Xiaoyao Building. Cao Min is only the deputy hall master, so I have never seen him before."

"Lord Mu, have you ever known Jia Xiran?"

In Xiaoyao Building, even a deputy hall master has never met the master, so it is even more impossible for others.Huangfu Jingyan was amazed that Mu Qingcheng hid deeply enough.

"Jia Xiran, the deputy head of the Xifeng Hall, because my brother is the head of the Xifeng Hall in Xiaoyao Building, and because my brother felt that he owed him, he was promoted to the position of the deputy head. Two eyes = years ago , because he colluded with foreign thieves, robbed Xiaoyaolou's goods, injured his elder brother, and was expelled from Xiaoyaolou. I didn't expect to meet here, it is really a rare fate."

Mu Qingcheng looked at Jia Xiran with a smile on his face, and there was a trace of cruelty in his eyes.Thinking of spared Jia Xilie's life for the sake of Jia Xilie's face, he did not expect to have such trouble today.

"You...you are talking nonsense. Murong Hanying colluded with the prince of Xiyue Kingdom and conspired to kill the king and usurp the government. I escaped only after I discovered her secret."

When someone told the truth, Jia Xiran couldn't react for a moment and stuttered.

"Escape? Are you going to confront your brother? How do you know so many secrets as the deputy hall master? The secrets of Xiaoyao Building are only known to the landlords and pavilion masters of the various sub-clans. Even the hall master is not qualified to know. They only follow orders and do things. You can jump above those landlords and pavilion masters, isn't your ability too strong?"

Mu Qingcheng's face became icy cold, and his eyes were deep and bottomless.The cold air radiating from the whole body made the atmosphere in the whole hall tense.

"You...you pretend to be the owner of Xiaoyao Building? Who would believe it? You are just a friend of Murong Hanying, how do you know these things? Outsiders can't leak the secrets of Xiaoyao Building except those inside the building. Are you A spy from Xiyue Kingdom?"

Seeing Mu Qingcheng's sudden expression change, Jia Xiran trembled all over, and began to feel scared in his heart.

"Spies? What do you think? Can you believe what a traitor says? Don't you have the letterheads of Xiaoyaolou and Prince Xiyue, why don't you take them out and have a look. I'll see how emotional the letter is."

With the sudden drop in temperature, everyone in the hall looked at Jia Xiran. Although they had seen what happened before, such a confrontation was undoubtedly rare.

"Why did I let you see, these are all confidential documents, are you planning to destroy them?"

"You framed Xiaoyaolou as collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, shouldn't I, the landlord, read the so-called evidence?"

"Landlord? You...you're lying."

Jia Xiran's eyes were astonished, and he couldn't believe what he heard.How could this sick man be the landlord?

"Lying, do you think it's possible? I know everything about Xiaoyao Building. You still want someone to confront you? You should have seen this thing."

Mu Qingcheng took out a gold engraved token from her wide sleeve, on which was written the three characters "Xiaoyao Ling" in seal script.

"Pleasure Order? You..."

Jia Xiran was dumbfounded. Everyone in Xiaoyaolou and Jianghu knew that once the Xiaoyao Order of Xiaoyaolou came out, it must be a symbol of the identity of the owner of Xiaoyaolou.

There are only legends in the world, and no one has ever actually seen Xiaoyao Ling.With the Xiaoyao Order, you can control the entire Xiaoyao Building, as long as you are in the Xiaoyao Building, you must obey the order.

"Since you know this, I don't want to say more. You take out the letter and let His Majesty and the people present see the truth of the matter."

Jia Xiran felt an unprecedented sense of fear, trembling all over.His heart seemed to be thrown into a thousand-year-old cold pool all of a sudden, he was so cold that he forgot to breathe.

Seeing Jia Xiran's performance, Wang Yixin's eyes dimmed.He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think that this is Mu Louzhu who is threatening Jia Xiran."

"King Yixin, you pay attention to evidence when you do things. As for the threat, I have never seen it, but since it is a confrontation, why not take out the letter and let everyone see it?"
