Too many tragedies have become unforgettable pain for those involved, but in the eyes of unrelated people, they are just conversation topics after dinner.
There were only a few people who lamented what happened to Princess Chen, but after hearing rumors that the male protagonist was brought to justice, countless perpetrators were already blocked outside the courtroom.
Miao Zhi Yin Qiang calmed down and began to interrogate the suspects while trying to figure out the thoughts of the three uninvited guests.
Outside the crowd, people gave way one after another, and several officers escorted Chen Mu over. Upon closer inspection, I realized that Miss Fan was following behind me, which caused the crowd to talk and point.
Miao Zhiyin took pictures of the executioner, two rows of officers shouted "Weiwei", and the court fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Nan felt weak when he found three unrelated people sitting or standing in the courtroom. He thought about his current appearance and became emboldened again. The worst I can do is change my body. After being the daughter of a wealthy family for so many years, if I don’t go crazy once, I’ll be sorry for the 100,000 ticket fee.
Seeing Fan Xiaomei joining in, the second prince and the crown prince cast doubtful looks at Fan Xian. They were all at the poetry club before, and while they were writing poems, the topic turned to the hottest event in the city. Upon hearing the rumors that the culprit had been found, the three of them came together.
Fan Xian did not respond to the two's confusion. In fact, he was confused and even angry. My good sister walked with one of my subordinates, have you ever considered his feelings?
Unfortunately, Mo Zhiyin didn't understand. He glanced at the second prince quietly and started to judge the case with a cold face.
"Who is in the hall, and what did they commit?"
"Teng Zijin, a junior official in the Supervisory Yuan, has no idea what he has committed."
"How dare you break into the princess's mansion at night and do something evil that implicates the nine clans? How dare you quibble even though the evidence is solid?"
Mo Zhiyin yelled and threw his coat at Chen Mu's feet, and Jiang Nan jumped out immediately.
"You are wronging a good man and this matter has nothing to do with him."
Seeing that it was Fan Xiaomei who was making the noise, Miao Zhiyin looked at the three young masters in embarrassment. He found that all of them had grim expressions, especially Fan Xian's gloomy face, which made him even more confused.
In his opinion, the three people were undoubtedly here to put pressure on him. Teng Zijin is Fan Xian's subordinate, and the prince and the prince are Fan Xian's cheering friends. Keeping Teng Zijin is in line with the goals of the three of them.
However, how could he decide on something as big as the royal princess?
"Who are the opponents? What is the evidence?"
"My name is Fan Xiaomei, and I can prove that this matter has nothing to do with Teng Zijin."
"Where's the evidence?"
Jiang Nan hesitated a little and looked at the crowd around him in embarrassment: "Do you have to say it?"
"If you don't say it, how can you prove it?"
Jiang Nan took a deep breath and closed his eyes with a risk-taking attitude: "Just die. Okay, I said, he was with me on the night of the incident, and there was no way he would provoke the princess."
As soon as these words came out, the jaws of everyone in the hall were shocked. Chen Mu was only slightly surprised. After all, he had developed an immunity to this girl's wild words.
Fan Xian's face turned green and he shouted, "Why did the plot become like this?" I wish I could take someone home and put them in confinement.
What was more distressing than him was Li Hongcheng, who felt that his soul had been pulled away. How could he, the royal prince, be so inferior to a small official?
Mo Zhiyin's old face twitched and he didn't know how to judge. At this time, someone suddenly came to report in a hurry. Hearing his cry, he thought the sky was falling.
"Sir, something serious has happened."
"What's the decency to be so flustered? This is a court, please pay attention to the official dignity."
"Someone broke into the princess's mansion and assassinated her. Princess Chen was killed."
"What?"
Mo Zhiyin jumped up and his hat fell off in fright. The faces of the three young masters all changed drastically, and they rushed to the princess's mansion without saying a word, regardless of the case.
Lin Wan was not only Fan Xian's fiancée, but also the biological sister and cousin of the prince and the crown prince. She was also the daughter of the eldest princess and the emperor's nephew. This matter is going to cause a storm.
"My lord, does my evidence count?"
"Count it, let's go."
Miao Zhiyin was so anxious that he could not care about such a trivial gossip incident, so he immediately asked to leave the court impatiently.
The matter just ended like this. Chen Mu felt ridiculous and at the same time he was concerned about another question: Who was so bold to assassinate the princess?
There is a high possibility that Jiang Nan's identity is revealed to the gang, but there are currently only two people who have recognized her identity in the real world. Maybe Tian Mu has a murderous intention and would rather kill the wrong one than let go, but in that case it is better to investigate clearly first. It is much more beneficial to lure the snake out of its hole than to alert it. .
It may also be the emperor. If he wants to eliminate the threat of time travellers, Princess Chen who is exposed will not be able to escape. It could also be that Fan Xian was angry at his fiancée's betrayal and committed murder to vent his hatred. This would also explain Chen Mu's trial.
The two returned to the carriage and Li Luo was slightly surprised to see Chen Mu intact. But she had more important things to say, so she had to suppress her curiosity for the time being.
"Something happened in the princess's mansion."
"We just heard, is there any more specific news?"
"People from the Commercial Bank Intelligence Team have received news. In recent days, people from the Sixth Branch of the Overwatch Council have been out in force and assassinated many seemingly insignificant people."
Chen Musuo frowned. He was not very clear about the activities of the Sixth Office these days, but the information that the intelligence team of Luomu Trading Company could find must not be very secret, because it was used by Li Luo to inquire about business secrets and secretly find companions. The level of confidentiality of contacts is limited.
"It doesn't matter to whom? Do these people have something in common?"
"They exist in all walks of life. The only thing they have in common is that their behavior is somewhat inconsistent with the common sense of this world."
Chen Mumeng looked at Li Luo. With this said, the purpose of the Overwatch Council was obvious.
"Let's go back and talk."
Before leaving, Chen Mu said to Jiang Nan again: "Everyone who travels through time is in danger now. If you don't want to be assassinated, just play the show."
Jiang Nan was greatly stimulated and patted his chest and said, "Acting is what I have been longing for for a long time."
"Okay, then you go back to Fan Mansion now."
"ah?"
"Is it possible that you still want to return to the Princess's Mansion?"
Jiang Nan muttered: "Can't I go to your place?"
"Okay, but you have to change your identity."
"Okay then, let me try Miss Fan's life first. If I can't continue acting, I will come to you."
Chen Mu nodded, Li Luo also gave some instructions, and the two watched Jiang Nan leave.
Returning to Teng Mansion, Chen and Mu immediately hid in the bedroom and closed the doors and windows.
"Lin Wan's matter was not arranged by you, was it?"
Li Luo frowned, she noticed the suspicion in the man's tone. Thinking about it, getting rid of Lin Wan would not only cut off the clues that exposed them, but also prove that Chen Mu was not present, thereby proving his innocence.
"The power in my hands is not enough to arrange the assassination of the princess. You can start with the Overwatch Council to see if it was done by the Sixth Bureau."
Chen Mu secretly thought: If the mastermind behind this is the emperor, this idea is indeed possible. But it would be too cruel to attack a relative and descendant who poses no threat.
"Is it possible that there are people like Wang Nian and others in the Overwatch Council?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but whether Wang Nian fell into a dream is still our guess. Even if the dream master is fighting, it makes sense."
Chen Mu was slightly shaken. If this was the case, then they would be in danger.
"I originally wanted to publicly search for Sun Qin's possessor, but now it seems that it is not the time to take action. Let's wait and see what happens."
"If this is your decision, I can help you."
"Um?"
"I know you don't want to waste time here. If you believe me, I will prepare tonight."
Chen Mu looked at the woman's eyes seriously. The soft waves were full of sincerity and expectation, making him unable to think of rejecting her at all. He never told Li Luo that the biggest reason why he stayed was to know her purpose of staying.
"Just go ahead and do whatever you want. If you can use my place, just give me orders."
"Okay, it's my first time to see my husband so happy."
The soft and charming voice came suddenly, like a devil seducing someone. Chen Mu's heart was agitated again, and the corner of his mouth was raised. No matter what the plan was, he planned to discuss it tomorrow.
However, before the two could discuss the outcome, something unexpected happened again. The next day, before dawn, someone came to the palace to announce Chen Mujin's visit.
The person who announced to meet Chen Mu was surprising. She turned out to be the notorious eldest princess of the Qing Kingdom. It is understandable that the place where Chen Mu was asked to go was the Princess's Mansion with fluttering white silk.
The eldest princess had been waiting in the back room of the mourning hall. Yan Xiao was leaning at the door to make sure no one could eavesdrop. Chen Mu entered and heard a faint sentence before he could salute.
"Here you go, sit down."
Chen Mu obeyed suspiciously, guessing the other party's purpose.
"I heard that Princess Chen spent a wonderful few days and nights with you before she was assassinated? Moreover, your wife was also present at the time."
Chen Mu felt helpless. He didn't expect the rumors to spread like this. But the eldest princess could still remain calm after losing her daughter, which made him marvel at the depth of the other side's city.
"I'm scared. I was indeed lucky enough to be invited by the princess a few days ago, but I would never do anything inappropriate."
"Don't be afraid. I don't blame you. On the contrary, I am very grateful to you for bringing happiness to my daughter."
Chen Mu lowered his head, pretending to be sad and didn't reply.
"I came to you today just to see what the man my daughter likes looks like. Unfortunately, I don't even have the chance to oppose you. Do you know how uncomfortable I feel as a mother?
No matter how much it hurts, it won't help. As a mother, the only thing I can do is to find the murderer and bring him to justice. If Wan'er knew about it, I think she would feel better.
Are you willing to help me? "
Chen Mu's mind moved and he understood the other party's intention.
"The eldest princess has given orders, and I don't dare to disobey them."
"Very good, then let me tell you something. I have enough evidence and reasons to believe that this old dog from the Oversight Yuan did this."
Chen Mu pretended to be horrified: "Sixth Office?"
"You don't have to be surprised. The mastermind who is even more unexpected is still behind you. He has done this not once or twice. Many years ago, in order to eradicate dissidents, he even killed his biggest benefactor and the woman he loved most. For that He would not care about anyone's life.
You don't have to think about it, I'm dissatisfied with him, but I won't betray him. It's just that someone must be responsible for my daughter's death. The most I can do is kill his dog. "
Chen Mu raised his head, his panic expression just right: "I will never give up even if I can serve the eldest princess."
"No, you are not doing it for me, but for Wan'er. Next, the old dog will obey the owner's orders and bite people everywhere. To be precise, it has already started biting people. I need to know his movements, can you do it? ?”
"I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the eldest princess."
"Very well, then you can go. I deliberately concealed your whereabouts when I came here, and don't expose it when you go back. If something happens, someone will contact you."
"My subordinates say goodbye."
Chen Mu left without hesitation. The eldest princess looked at her back and narrowed her eyes: she had already shown that she had grasped the other party's lifeline. If the other party was a smart person, he would know what to do. If he fails her test, there is no need to stay.
