Attack them and save them.
No matter who set the fire, they must have forced Chen Mu to take out the box from where he had hidden it.
really.
The man in black wore a mask and had a ghostly figure.
He stepped forward quickly and put his sword on Chen Mu's neck.
"Hand over what you have in your hands!"
The sharp sword blade scratched across Chen Mu's neck, oozing blood.
Chen Mu broke into a cold sweat and raised his neck, trying to calm down.
He rolled his eyes, looking extremely frightened, and said in a trembling voice:
"Okay, I'll give it to you, don't be impulsive."
With that said, he handed over the box in his arms.
Just when the man in black reached out to take the box, Chen Mu suddenly smashed the box to the ground.
The man in black quickly reached out to pick it up, but unconsciously relaxed his control on Chen Mu.
Chen Mu took the opportunity to pull off the mask from the man in black's face.
The face of Chen Jie who appeared in Su Ye's study that day was revealed.
Chen Jie had been Chen Mu’s staff for a long time, and Chen Mu immediately exclaimed:
"It's you!"
Seeing that his identity was revealed, Chen Jie raised his sword and was about to kill Chen Mu.
However, the noise in Chen Mu's room was noticed by the guards in his house, and seven or eight people rushed in from the door.
Chen Jie knew that he alone would not be able to kill him in Chen Mu's mansion.
Grasping the box in his hand, Chen Jie turned around and ran away.
The guards surrounded the Assistant Minister Chen Mu:
"Sir, are you okay?"
At this moment, Chen Mu’s mind was filled with the box that was taken away, and he shouted:
"Hurry up and chase after me!"
Only then did the guards react and chase him out the door.
Chen Mu stood in the center of the room, looking at the messy scene in a panic, feeling extremely anxious.
Chen Jie was chased by Chen Mu's guards all the way.
Good thing.
After leaving the Chen Mansion, I quickly saw the Jin Yiwei who came to meet me.
Su Ye did not directly send the Jin Yiwei to Chen Mu's mansion.
Once the matter is revealed, it will be the Prime Minister of Yan who sends people to murder important officials of the imperial court. No one can afford this hat.
The Jin Yiwei quickly dealt with the pursuers and escorted Chen Jie back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Chen Jie handed the box in his hand to Su Ye:
"Prime Minister Su, this is the list and evidence of crimes that the Assistant Minister mentioned before."
Su Ye took the box, opened it seriously, and checked it carefully.
Every familiar name on the list is an important figure in the court.
The evidence of their crimes is evidence of their corruption and forming cliques for personal gain.
"Okay, you did a great job."
Su Ye nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chen Jie:
"Everything you have done has repaid Yan Lingshan's kindness."
Chen Jie was overjoyed and once again held his hands in his hands and said:
"Everything that happens next depends on you, Prime Minister Su."
After saying that, he respectfully stepped back.
On the other side, a guard who had a chance to escape stumbled back to Chen Mu's mansion.
He reported:
"My lord, my subordinates were incompetent and did not stop Chen Jie. I could only see him fleeing towards the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Chen Mu's expression suddenly changed.
At this time, he had summoned his most trusted staff to discuss countermeasures.
Many of these aides were important officials in the court, and they all became ants on a rope because of their complicity in a case that year.
When a confidant heard the news, he immediately asked anxiously:
"Sir, what should we do now? If Su Ye gives the list to the empress, we will all be finished!"
Chen Mu also panicked at this time, but still remained calm and said fiercely:
"What are you afraid of? If Yan Lichu really dares to punish us, the worst case scenario is that we will die and establish a new emperor!"
Everyone in the room exchanged looks with each other after hearing such treacherous words.
Now that the situation has reached this point, only by uniting can they survive this crisis.
After all, Yan Lichu was the puppet they jointly elected.
It's a pity that the empress is not as stupid as she appeared when she was a child.
Instead, they are getting smarter and smarter, making them unable to control them.
Especially after Su Ye came to Yan State, they regretted it.
Chen Mu and others finished their discussion and decided to strike first.
Soon, the Prime Minister's Mansion heard the report:
"My lord, the assistant minister would like to see you."
Su Ye raised his eyebrows, he was so out of control.
He put the precious box into the secret compartment and said with great interest:
"Please come in."
Chen Mu walked in, with no clue on his face.
As if he was visiting a colleague with whom he has a good relationship, Zuo bowed and said:
"Prime Minister Su has been in Dayan for a few days, but he has not paid a personal visit. It is his negligence."
Su Ye did not criticize anything, and said politely:
"Mr. Chen has so many things to do every day, why would Su dare to bother you?"
"Master Chen, please sit down and try Su's tea."
Chen Mu sat down calmly and waited for Su Ye to speak.
Unexpectedly, Su Ye picked up the tea cup and tasted it gently.
Dressed in white, he looks like a humble gentleman caught up in the tea ceremony, rather than a high-ranking court official.
Chen Mu's eyes kept flickering, trying to find an opportunity to speak.
However, Su Ye deliberately talked leisurely about romance, making Chen Mu more and more anxious.
Finally, Chen Mu couldn't help but said:
"Prime Minister Su, when you come here this time, you actually have something to discuss."
"Oh?" Su Ye put down the teacup, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked pretending not to know:
"Mr. Chen, it's okay, Su will do his best to help."
Chen Mu cleared his throat and mentioned it unintentionally:
"There was a fire in the house recently, and a box of important items was lost. According to rumors, the fire was deliberately lit."
Su Ye picked up the teacup and gently blew the tea on the surface.
He frowned slightly, seeming to feel sorry for Chen Mu's loss:
"Oh? Is this happening? Does Mr. Chen have any clues?"
Chen Mu looked at Su Ye with a sneer on his lips:
"I don't have any clues, but that thing is very important to me. If someone gets it accidentally, Chen is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it back."
Looking at Su Ye who was still calm, Chen Mu gritted his teeth and continued to increase the pressure:
"Not long after Prime Minister Su arrived in the Yan Kingdom, Chen has countless properties in his name. If you are interested in something, just bring it up. It will be a good thing to make money together."
Su Zhiye sneered, this is how Chen Mu lured most of the officials in the court to work for him, right?
His eyes paused, and he deliberately lowered his head to think, as if he was persuaded by the conditions offered by Chen Mu.
Chen Mu only felt that there was something going on, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
What about Su Ye in white? It's just that the money he gave me wasn't enough.
Once he joins the gang, he can easily handle it, and when the time is right, he can get rid of him in one fell swoop!
Chen Mu was caught up in his wonderful fantasy, but he didn't notice the cunning light flashing in Su Ye's eyes.
The next moment, Su Ye raised his head, pointed at the lotus pond outside the window, and said in a cold voice:
"Look at that lotus flower, growing in the mud, but it is still clean and elegant. Although I live in the secular world, I disdain to associate with those people who live in the world."
Chen Mu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately understood what Su Ye meant.
