I have flowers, do you have pots?

"Shh-"

Mu Xianyu couldn't help coughing twice, and quickly made a silent gesture to the little guy: "You can't call him back now, the situation will be even more chaotic... That Gu worm is here with you, it will be Can't he feel it?"

"I'm not too sure, but judging by his reaction, he probably doesn't know about it."

The little flower demon shook her head blankly, but quickly lowered her voice in a serious manner, and couldn't help asking curiously: "How did my little brother spot that little black bug? His cultivation level seems to be higher than that of the other one." It's much higher, I didn't notice it at first..."

"Who told him to change his face and walk around in front of my eyes every now and then, I already felt that those eyes were familiar."

Mu Xianyu couldn't help smiling, rubbed the little guy's head, and pulled him to sit on the edge of the stone table: "When I was in the palace, he was attached to an imperial doctor. That day when I arrived The Zhang family felt that some parts of Zhang Shiyin were quite familiar, and when they saw the magistrate again today, they almost understood what was going on—is there any hope for Zhang Shiyin?"

"It's been too long, I'm afraid they have entered reincarnation again, there is no way to save them..."

Mo Zhi shook his head slightly, pursed his lips, and said softly: "I checked when I chased in just now, and Zhang Shiyin was also poisoned to death, but the poison is very strange, I can't recognize it, I'm afraid I need brother Xiaoqing to come..."

"Just now he said that someone in Beijing ordered Zhang's family to pay tribute to poisonous tea cakes. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The whole family died overnight without a sound. Maybe it was someone from Beijing who did it."

Mu Xianyu thought about it and spoke slowly, but before the words fell, the magistrate who was unconscious on the ground suddenly wrinkled his nose, turned over and got up, and asked sharply: "What died by accident—and which family died by accident? Is there any law for the king, quickly arrest that treacherous and evil person!"

"Master Zhifu, are you planning to find me?"

Seeing that the real magistrate was probably not quite normal anymore, Mu Xianyu quickly protected the little guy behind him, so as not to be frightened by this crazy magistrate again.The magistrate was startled by his voice, he stood up straight and looked at him suspiciously, his expression suddenly changed after he took a closer look, and he stepped back suddenly and shouted sharply: "Come on, come on, make this work The gangster who set fire to the crime department has been tied up by this government!"

"My lord, please slow down for a while, don't talk now."

Jin Hong rushed out from the hall in response, and felt a headache when he saw the situation in front of him, sighed heavily, and dragged the magistrate to the side of the stone table and sat down without any explanation.Mu Xianyu just waved his hands with a smile, looked at this courageous headhunter with great interest, and smiled curiously: "Do you and your prefect get along like this on weekdays? He doesn't blame him." Are you going to commit the next crime?"

"The so-called offenses above and below are simply out of habit, and he will get used to them after committing them a few times. Occasionally, he will be polite once in a while, maybe he will be moved for a long time."

Jin Hong replied nonchalantly, but turned to the magistrate seriously and patiently, cupped his fists and said in a low voice: "My lord, what the Patriarch of the Zhang family said is not true, I'm afraid it's an act of deliberately framing and evading. This—— —Your Excellency is an imperial envoy of the imperial court. This time, he accompanied the crown prince on his way to the south, and he came to the government office today to investigate the case. Please restrain yourself, and don’t disturb the imperial envoy.”

He answered his words almost immediately, and the magistrate's face actually showed a bit of flattery, subconsciously nodding his head and saying yes repeatedly.Then he suddenly came to his senses, coughed lightly and said with a sneer: "Thanks to Catcher Jin's reminder, our government was impatient for a while, and almost trusted the treacherous people by mistake, and made a big mistake-I hope that the imperial envoy will not blame you, don't blame me." Blame is..."

"Since the accident in Zhang's family, the magistrate passed out three times in a row. When he woke up again, he was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and his words were sometimes confused. If you have anything to say, just ask him directly. Don't fight with him again. , he may not be able to turn around."

Jin Hong lowered his voice and explained something in Mu Xianyu's ear, then got up and stood aside as if nothing had happened.Mu Xianyu felt more and more that this fast arrest was very interesting. She nodded with a light smile, and then looked at the Yangzhou magistrate in front of her again: "This official has encountered such an accident when I first arrived in Yangzhou. Until now, I am still in shock, and His Royal Highness is also affected by it." Frightened, I still can’t leave the house until now——Such a shocking case happened in your Yangzhou City, I don’t know how your lord plans to investigate the case, and how to give the court an explanation?”

Watching the third prince calmly say the words "undecided", Jin Hong couldn't help but support his forehead, and sighed softly.Just as he was about to step forward to smooth things over, the magistrate's originally chaotic and misty eyes suddenly became clear, and he looked at Mu Xianyu with some vigilance and suspicion: "Investigating cases is naturally a matter of the prefecture, it's just your imperial envoy. I don’t have any proof of my identity, if I can’t invite His Royal Highness to come down to prove my identity, please forgive me, I really have nothing to say..."

"It's true that sometimes you understand and sometimes you're confused—I just don't know whether you really understand it or are you pretending to be confused."

Mu Xianyu shook his head and laughed lightly, but he didn't think he was disobedient, he just took out the gold medal and threw it on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice: "If you really are the prefect of a state, you should be able to recognize this gold medal. A gold medal—but what else do I have to say?"

The magistrate glanced at the gold medal, and his expression suddenly changed.He cupped his hands and looked at it carefully for two times, then suddenly gathered his robe and knelt down on the ground, facing the gold medal, he said in a fearful voice: "My minister Jin Shiren, the prefect of Yangzhou, has seen the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Although I knew that this gold medal was said to be like seeing a gentleman, it was the first time to use it to scare people. Seeing him suddenly put on such a big posture, Mu Xianyu had no choice but to stand up and step aside. He looked thoughtfully at this magistrate who didn't know what tricks he was doing.The magistrate's expression suddenly became courteous, and he bowed forward with a smile and said, "It was a humble and ignorant offense earlier, and please forgive me... This imperial envoy looks very strange, I don't know how many times he has served in the court. Is it possible to leave a name for the official position? When the humble official enters Beijing to report on his work, he might as well go to see one or two, and prepare a big gift to make amends..."

"Don't think that you can get away with a crime of negligence by pretending to be crazy and stupid like this. I will leave my words here today. If you can't find out the case clearly, you don't have to go to the capital to report on your duties. His Royal Highness is in Yangzhou City, and there is another The gold medal is here, and you can be dismissed directly without having to be sent to heaven—understand?"

Mu Xianyu's voice was suddenly chilled, and he looked at the magistrate with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "As for the identity of the official, you are probably not qualified to interrogate him. This officer is in a good mood, and I will tell you, if you continue to make all kinds of temptations like this, don’t blame me for taking you back and handing you over to the hidden guards for interrogation, I don’t believe you won’t be able to find out who is your master behind the scenes!”

His last sentence was abrupt and sharp, and there was a bit of cold murderous intent, not to mention that the magistrate was so scared that his face was pale, even Jin Hong who was standing by the side couldn't help but look up at him a few times, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes Sharp awn.The magistrate was so terrified by him that he couldn't even finish his sentence, he opened his mouth and forced a smile, leaned over and said in a low voice: "My lord, you are just joking - the lowly post belongs to the imperial court. Salary, of course, is the salary of eating the king to share the worries of the king, how can there be two hearts..."

"If you don't have two minds, then Zhang Shiyin's murder of the prince is a heinous crime, why do you still want to protect him?"

But Mu Xianyu didn't give him a chance to breathe, stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Did people really burn to death in the fire at Zhang's house? Let me ask you—the person you sent was in the ruins How many corpses were uncovered, how many gold and silver treasures were uncovered? It is clear that the Zhang family wanted to murder the prince, secretly transferred all the family property and clan members, and lit the fire at night, trying to burn us to death in that yard , and then use this golden cicada to get out of the shell to avoid this great crime of punishing the nine clans. But I don’t know that His Royal Highness has already seen through his tricks, and took me away from Zhang’s house overnight, and sat and watched this good show written and performed by ourselves. Looking for thieves here with a lantern, and actually found the head of the official, who knows if you are in cahoots with them, and the thieves here are shouting "Stop the thief!"

"How is it possible—impossible, we know—"

The magistrate was terrified by his reprimand, subconsciously murmured a word, but quickly stopped talking, just circling back and forth anxiously, ignoring the "Master Imperial Envoy" in front of him, stumbled and arranged Zhang Shiyin for him The house where I lived ran over.Jin Hong sighed helplessly, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the third prince who had just opened his mouth: "I heard that just now, your highness told the master that you came to the city a day late, so you didn't keep up with the prince ..."

"At that time, His Royal Highness didn't tell me whether I would love to go back or not, so I naturally wanted to give him some face--since he doesn't care about me now, then he can take the blame. I still have a lot of blame to throw away. Carry it on him."

Mu Xianyu replied confidently, then moved closer to the little flower demon beside him who obviously couldn't help laughing, looked at him deliberately and said, "Mo Zhi, don't you think so?"

Mo Zhi blinked, coughed lightly, held back his smile, and nodded seriously: "Second brother bullies others, so I have to bully him back, otherwise second brother will continue to bully younger brother in the future!"

"By the way - where did His Highness the Third Highness bring this little fellow?"

Strange to say, even though he had seen the boy in white standing beside him, Jin Hong hadn't noticed that there was someone standing there until he spoke.At this moment, I suddenly realized that there was some cold sweat oozing from the back: "Little guy, have you practiced any strange kung fu? Why didn't I notice you before?"

"I--"

For a moment, Mo Zhi didn't know how far to introduce himself, he hesitated and looked back at his little brother.Mu Xianyu just hugged his shoulder with a smile, and said casually, "Mo Zhi has the blood of the wood family, and we are in this bamboo forest, so as long as he doesn't take the initiative to make a sound, most people will not notice him." of."

"No wonder—I thought that people in the royal family would no longer have wood bloodlines awakened. It seems that there are still a few reliable ones."

Jin Hong was not surprised at all, shook his head and sighed, and clasped his fists at Mo Zhi solemnly and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm from the Jin family, and I'm from the Jin family—but I just opened up a little bit of talent, not like you." Great, please give me more advice.”

Mo Zhi didn't know why the little brother said he was of wood blood, but he also knew that it was obviously impossible to tear things apart at this time, so he also nodded, cupped his fists like him and said, "Brother Jin, it's a pleasure to meet you—you are also from the royal family." person?"

"I'm not—my family hasn't been a royal family for more than 500 years. If the process of the five elements interacting and restraining each other, this generation is the wood family, then the next dynasty may have our turn."

Jin Hong smiled lightly and shook his head, and then he replied solemnly, but Mu Xianyu gave him a merciless stare: "I know you are not an ordinary person. The idea of ​​changing the dynasty should be saved. In the hands of my second brother, you should wait a few hundred years before making plans."

"But I don't think His Royal Highness has awakened bloodlines, but your water element talent is simply amazing, and you can't even suppress the gold element power left on you by some great power."

Jin Hong shook his head, looked at him suspiciously and said, "I remember that there is a rule in your Lin family that once a water bloodline awakens, that person must be the crown prince. Why are you and your brother the opposite?"

"You know too much—our Lin royal family still has a rule, if you know too much, you will be silenced."

Mu Xianyu patted him on the shoulder, and replied calmly.Jin Hong couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and before he could speak, his expression suddenly changed slightly, he pouted towards the outside of the forest and said: "I think our lord is going to hold your leg and start crying again—you just think he's scared out of his wits." It’s still not good, just ignore him, I’ll go out and tell you about what’s going on here later.”

As soon as his words fell, the magistrate actually stumbled into the woods, hugged Mu Xianyu's legs and cried loudly: "My lord, my lord, forgive me—the humble official was negligent for a while, and I really didn't know that the Zhang family had committed a crime." Such a heinous crime... Just now, I wanted to question Zhang Shiyin, but I didn't expect that the thief had committed suicide in fear of crime. If my lord hadn't pointed it out, I would have been deceived by him and regarded him as the sufferer—but I swear to the heavens, the Zhang family Acts of treason really have nothing to do with the humble job, and the humble job doesn't even know about it... If there is even the slightest bit of selfishness and malice, I'd rather be bombarded by five thunderbolts and turn into ashes—"

"That's all, if a thunder strikes you now, I'm afraid I will be implicated by you too."

Mu Xianyu was dizzy from his quarrel, pretended to sigh helplessly, and pulled the person on his lap apart with great effort: "I have already told you everything that should be told now. For the rest, you should know what to do." How to do it?"

"I know, I know, I will send out the official document of arresting at sea, and try my best to investigate the fish that slipped through the net of Zhang's family. If no one will be spared and the other will not be left behind, His Royal Highness will definitely give an explanation!"

The magistrate was in a hurry to respond, and kowtowed twice on the ground again.Mu Xianyu obviously didn't intend to make it so easy for him to pass the test, so Shi Shiran lifted his clothes and sat down on the stone bench, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Who said that he was going to explain to His Royal Highness--Is it possible that I don't want to explain it to you?" Is it?"

"This this--"

The magistrate was stupefied for a moment by his bluff, and after a long while he suddenly came to his senses. He hurriedly smiled and said cautiously: "Understood, I understand, it is the humble official who will explain to the lord, and then the lord will go to explain to His Royal Highness the crown prince. Where is the humble official?" The qualification to report to the higher level... just now is Meng Lang, who is in a humble position, and is really talking nonsense in a moment of impatience, please don't take offense, sir, don't take offense..."

"Now that you understand, let's do things quickly. I'm staying in your mansion today. If you don't investigate this case, I won't leave for a day. I won't let you be lazy—you The chief catcher is decisive and clear-headed, and this officer likes it very much, it would be a waste to follow you, so let him follow this officer to do things."

Mu Xianyu nodded slightly, unhurriedly unfolded the fan and shook it twice.The magistrate couldn't help being a little startled when he heard the words, and instinctively wanted to argue that Zhang's family had made preparations early in the day, and he was afraid that they had already evacuated the clan in private, and it might be difficult to thoroughly investigate for a while.But just looking at those eyes, he lost his courage, just bowed down respectfully and said: "Yes, yes - it's all up to you. Catcher Jin, why don't you thank you for your promotion!"

Jin Hong didn't expect him to do such a trick suddenly, but he could only reluctantly cup his fists at the unreliable third prince, leaned over and said, "Little man Jin Hong, thank you!" He was promoted by the imperial envoy."

"Then—my lord, I'll ask Jin Hong to arrange a place for you. I'll go and send out the arrest document. I'll do my best to bring the villains of the Zhang family to justice..."

Seeing that he finally sent out this troublesome head catcher, the magistrate also heaved a long sigh of relief, and changed his name in a blink of an eye.He got up and gave a deep salute, then walked quickly to the lobby without looking back.Mu Xianyu groaned as he watched him walk away, then frowned slightly and shook his head, "The magistrate is already a high-ranking official, how can such a stupid and weak person be asked to take on such a heavy responsibility? Could it be that he reads books very well?" Okay?"

"His reading is not very good, but because he is a direct descendant of the Jin family, the court has to give him face."

However, Jin Hong was not polite to him. He lifted his arresting robe and sat down at the table. He sneered and shook his head and said, "The bloodlines of the four major families are declining day by day, and there are not many promising descendants. It's better to let them go." The distinction between concubine and concubine. Isn’t it just a joke to ask such a person to come out to do things?”

"Just now I heard you keep talking about the four major families—what exactly are the four major families, and are they descendants of the blood of the four holy beasts?"

Mu Xianyu couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously.Jin Hong never thought that he didn't even know about this matter, so he looked at him in surprise for a while and said, "Yes, but it's not—the four holy beasts are divided into four main elements: wood, metal, fire, and water, and derived from this. There are four major families, the Lin family of the wood family, the Jin family of the gold family, the Zhu family of the fire family, and the Gao family of the water family. Only the direct descendants of them can be called the descendants of the four holy beasts, but until now, only The rest of the Xuanwu family have been mixed with each other, and can only be counted as four major families. For example, our Jin family, and your Lin family, cannot be called the descendants of Baihu or Qinglong, but their Gao family You can still claim to be a descendant of Xuanwu, which is why your Lin royal family attaches great importance to Xuanwu blood."

"I understand—these big families take turns to rule the world for hundreds of years, and then continue to reincarnate, cycle after cycle, isn't it?"

Thinking of the history books he had read, Mu Xianyu's eyes couldn't help but lighten up, obviously he had penetrated the key points.Jin Hong smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed softly: "I can't say something nice, what is taking turns sitting in the manor - people are reincarnation of the heavens, and the five elements are born and restrained so that the wheels go down from generation to generation. When it's the turn of the soil, it is the world. There will be chaos, and then your Lin family will rule the world, which is called Mu Ketu, and then our Jin family will destroy your Lin family, it will be called Jin Kemu—”

"Okay, okay—it's enough to go to Muketu, and you don't have to think about Jinkemu."

Mu Xianyu knocked on the table and interrupted him mercilessly.However, Jin Hong had no choice but to tilt his head helplessly, sighed with a light smile, "That's the way it is, each of the four major families has to give face to others, so if a direct descendant of a family enters the world, no matter what A good place to go. Our magistrate is named Jin Shiren, and he is my cousin in terms of seniority. Although his brain is not very useful, he is still of the direct blood, so he got mixed up with such a fat man from the Yangzhou prefect—the Zhang family Originally, your Lin family was stationed in Yangzhou City to check and balance the Jin family. I don’t know why they suddenly caught fire. You have cheated him here for so long, and you don’t know what’s going on in your heart. Is it really the work of the Zhang family? Tired, plan to assassinate a prince to enjoy yourself?"

"I'm aware of the fire, but I still can't figure out what happened to the Zhang family."

Mu Xianyu shook his head thoughtfully, looked at Mo Zhi beside him and said slowly, "I don't know if you've ever heard of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew—the jade dew is actually attached to Zhang Shiyin's body. Your prefect poisoned you to seize the house, but fortunately Mo Zhi stopped him in time and saved his life. But the real Zhang Shiyin has already been killed by someone. According to what the Gu worm said, not only Zhang Shiyin, but also the entire Zhang family. He died inexplicably. I thought it was related to your prefect at this time, but when I lied to him just now, he didn't seem to notice it at all..."

"Golden wind and jade dew—why did this thing come out again? Didn't it disappear after the Shang Palace was burned down?"

Jin Hong replied in astonishment, with a little nervousness in his eyes, he got up and walked out quickly: "I'm sorry to accompany you——Yulu's Gu poison is very troublesome to our Jin family. The confused cousin is so confused today, maybe he was poisoned by Yulu's poison..."

The author has something to say: The Jin family is a joker! (*￣︶￣)
