Mu Mansion.
When Wu Gui sent Mu Kai back home, Mu Hanfei was also there.
Seeing his son being beaten unconscious, Mu Hanfei's face remained calm.
"Who did it?" He looked at Wu Gui.
"Replying to Uncle Mu, it's Lin Ji from the Supervisory Department."
Hearing the word Lin Ji, Mu Hanfei narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment before continuing to ask: "Why did you attack Mu Kai?"
Wu Gui didn't dare to hide it.
If he had only been beaten, he would have dared to say something to his father when he went back to file a complaint, adding fuel to the fire.
But facing Mu Xiang, although he was a fool, he was not stupid.
Wu Guiyuan explained everything in detail.
After listening to Wu Gui's story, Mu Hanfei looked at Mu Kai who was lying unconscious on the stretcher.
"If you don't succeed enough, you will fail. Lin Ji is Fang Yunshan's favorite person. He is also a fourth-grade commander and a monk in the Sun Travel Realm! Even I don't dare to wait for it. Where do you have the guts? "
Wu Gui on the side was so frightened that he could not speak. He never expected that Mu Xiang would speak like this.
On the contrary, Mu Kai fainted and never heard his father scolding him.
But soon, Mu Hanfei changed the topic again.
"Then Lin Ji went too far. He dared to take action after the child just said a few words... This matter must not be let go."
After the words fell, Mu Hanfei waved his hand.
"You should go back first. Don't tell anyone about this matter."
"Junior understands."
After Wu Gui fled Mu's mansion, Mu Hanfei first called the doctor at the mansion to send Mu Kai off, and then returned to his study.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
Before Mu Hanfei could respond, a middle-aged man walked into the study.
"Mu Xiang."
"Mr. Bin, what do you think about this matter?" Mu Xiang looked at the middle-aged man.
This Mr. Bin has been in Mu Mansion for several years and is one of Prime Minister Mu's most trusted retainers.
"There must be something fishy about this matter!" Mr. Bin said firmly.
"Of course I know there is something fishy, but I don't know how to deal with it." Mu Xiang frowned slightly, "After Lin Ji returned to Beijing, he never went to Fengze Tower. Wherever he went every day, everything he did was unknown. The record is clear, why did it happen today? Why did we bump into Mu Kai? "
Mu Xiang groped his chin and said word by word: "This matter is not a big deal. If I am shameless, as long as Lin Ji does a good job on the scene, the matter will be over... After all, he has just been killed by Your Majesty." The marriage is granted to the Lu family's daughter's fiancé, so it can only be regarded as a family matter."
That being said, there are so many relatives of the emperor.
Mu Hanfei himself also knew that this was just him looking for a way out.
“I don’t know how to deal with it, so I resort to tricks,” Mr. Bin said.
"How to take advantage of the situation?" Mu Xiang asked again.
"Complaint."
"Complaint?"
"Since it is a family matter, it is up to the parents to make the decision. As long as His Majesty opens his mouth about this matter, no one can disobey it." Mr. Bin said, "It seems that it is making a big deal out of something that cannot be brought to the table, but in fact it is putting an end to this matter. If you use words, don’t let others use them to make further use of them.”
Hearing this, Xiang Mu nodded slightly.
"That makes sense. I'll write a note and hand it over."
"I'll excuse you." Mr. Bin bowed slightly and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he took two steps, Mu Hanfei stopped him again.
"Mr. Bin, please wait."
"What else does Prime Minister Mu have to do?"
"Who do you think is behind this?"
Mr. Bin thought for a while, but shook his head slightly.
"not sure."
"Then let's talk about it."
Hearing this, Mr. Bin paused and then said: "If it is Luo Xuanyi, he has no party members in the court and is His Majesty's lone minister. What he seeks is balance in the court. Maybe he is behind this matter and wants to weaken him. The influence of the Supervisory Department and the Editorial Department."
"The Supervisor is fine, but the Editor often interferes in government affairs. I think he wants to use his sword to kill people."
Mu Hanfei nodded and motioned for Mr. Bin to continue.
"If it's Fang Yunshan, it's to use Lin Ji's help to earn back some face... I heard that several of the Youxing officials of the Supervisor Tiansi in the capital have died, and one of them was the editor-in-chief who was causing trouble?"
"I don't know about this, it's Lan Zeying's method." Mu Hanfei shook his head.
Mr. Bin nodded and said: "The last one is Lan Zeying. If he... After all, it is Mu Kai who suffered the loss. If he uses the topic as an excuse, he may not be able to ignite the fire and burn it on the head of Supervisor Tiansi."
After the words fell, Mr. Bin smiled and said: "As for the others...only the Duke of Zhen Guo, Lu Guangmu, has this qualification."
"It's possible that anyone planned this, but it's not Lu Guangmu." Mu Hanfei chuckled twice.
"That's exactly the reason."
After these words, Mr. Bin stopped talking and left.
He named three people who were qualified and had positions. As for who they were, it was up to Mu Hanfei to decide for himself.
After a moment, Mu Hanfei shook his head slightly and picked up the pen.
No matter who it is, there will always be flaws.
It's okay to wait and see what happens, or to take advantage of it.
It's just a matter of picking and choosing.
The only thing that can be known is that someone finally couldn't sit still.
"Who doesn't want to see the editorial department grow..."
...
The news of Mu Kai's beating finally spread.
At that time, there were many diners in Fengze Building, and those who could go to eat there, even if it was only on the first floor, must be famous people.
Lin Ji specifically called out Mu Kai's identity. How could he keep this news hidden?
For a while, many people were waiting to see Mu Mansion's response.
Mu Hanfei was the right minister of the court, his daughter Mu Chan was the queen, and it was his uncle who was beaten.
This matter is definitely a big deal in Beijing.
But the strange thing is that for the past three days, there has been no follow-up to this matter.
The only difference is that the atmosphere in the capital seems to be a little more tense. The tension in the court has spread to the people, and even the soldiers guarding the gate have become trembling.
Everyone knew that this matter would never end so hastily.
...
Supervising Tiansi, in the study of Lin Ji, the commander-in-chief.
"Your Majesty, Wang Zheng, has met Mr. Lin."
"Are you the new clerk? Where's the parade? Yesterday he reported illness and went home to recuperate. Why is there no news?"
Wang Zheng's waist bowed even more.
"My lord, Mr. You's old illness relapsed last night and he died."
"Where's the body?" Lin Ji's mouth curved slightly, not surprised.
"According to Mr. You's final arrangements, he has been cremated."
Lin Ji nodded.
"You should know how he ended up like this, right?"
Wang Zheng remained silent.
Lin Ji didn't care and continued to think about himself: "No matter who sent you to me, you must also think about your own life."
Just when Lin Ji was about to give a few more warnings, someone suddenly came to the door.
"Master Lin, Master Fang, please come."
"Got it." Lin Ji responded and went directly to Fang Yunshan's study without any delay.
After entering the study, Fang Yunshan handed over a message.
"You go there, you want to see people alive and dead, and you want to see corpses."
Lin Ji glanced at the contents of the message and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"How could it be him?!"
