After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 176 Two Choices
Lin Youyi pouted resentfully, she had thought of it a long time ago.

For this matter, I have to go to Mu Zheng!
Thinking of this, Lin Youyi didn't say anything more to Wu Fu, but only gave orders lightly.

"Wufu, prepare the car, I want to see Prince Rui."

Wufu also guessed why Lin Youyi asked to see Mu Zheng, but she firmly believed that Mu Zheng would definitely not agree to Lin Youyi's request.

Prince Rui's Mansion, in the study.

Qi Yun and Ling Yun both knelt down in front of Mu Zheng.

"It's all my fault, I lost the evidence to correct the prince! Please punish me severely!"

"How do you say that if you lose it, you lose it? Who else knows where you used to hide the evidence?"

Qi Yun shook his head in frustration.

"There are also two servants of my subordinates who know, but both of them died in the process of escaping. Moreover, they died to cover the escape of my subordinates!"

The uneasy premonition in Mu Zheng's heart really came true!

He was silent for a long time, always feeling that things were not that simple.

"It's all because of my lack of thoughtfulness. If my subordinates were a little more cautious, they would be able to bring back the evidence of the prince's crime! Now, I have let down the prince's plans for the past two years, but I still can't testify against the prince! It's all the fault of my subordinates." ! Subordinates are unforgivably dead!"

"It's not entirely hopeless..."

"My lord, do you have a solution?"

Qi Yun looked at Mu Zheng nervously.

"Ten days later, floods will break out in the southwest generation! At that time, the flood will pour in and annihilate the mine, and the miners in the cave will surely die and suffer countless injuries! As long as the disaster is imminent, the prince's evil deeds will be exposed! As the situation worsens, the prince Even if you want to quibble and get someone to take the blame for him, you can't do it!"

Qi Yun and Ling Yun glanced at each other quickly.

The two of them could hear what Mu Zheng said clearly, but they were confused!

"My lord, how do you know that floods will break out in the southwest in ten days? Moreover, it will also lead to serious mine disasters?"

"You don't need to know this! Qi Yun, I just want to ask you one question, do you want the crown prince to avenge your Qi family, or give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save people first, and then repay later?"

At this time, Lin Youyi was standing outside the study.

She had no intention of eavesdropping, but by such a coincidence, she overheard what Mu Zheng asked Qi Yun.

In just a split second, Lin Youyi backed away in shock.

Mu Zheng promised him that he would save those innocent miners!
However, now, the information she provided to Mu Zheng turned out to be a bargaining chip that Mu Zheng used to bring down the prince!

Lin Youyi just felt that she didn't seem to understand Mu Zheng at all!

Just when Lin Youyi was shocked and retreated step by step, she accidentally bumped into Sixi who came to deliver tea.

"Oh, Miss Fourth, didn't you get burned?"

Lin Youyi turned around suddenly, her face paled with fright.

In the study, Mu Zheng couldn't help being stunned when he heard the noise.

He walked out of the study room quickly, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw Lin Youyi who was pale with fright.

"When did you come, why don't you let the servants tell you."

Mu Zheng had a gentle expression on his face, without any intention of blaming or venting anger.

"Just... I just arrived! I... It's nothing serious. Since you have something important to discuss, my lord, the little girl will leave first."

After Lin Youyi finished speaking in a panic, she turned around and was about to leave.

Mu Zheng knew that this little girl might have misunderstood him, so he hurriedly chased after her, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Youyi's bright wrist.

"What are you running, come in with me!"

Reluctantly, Lin Youyi was dragged into the study by Mu Zheng, and she stood at the side awkwardly, with her head bowed deeply, while she kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes.

"come over!"

"No...no need, I'll just stand here."

"My king asked you to come here!"

Lin Youyi's heart was pounding, she moved her steps, and walked awkwardly to Mu Zheng's side.

Mu Zheng grabbed Lin Youyi's arm, pressed her shoulder, and let her sit on the chair behind the desk.

Both Qi Yun and Ling Yun were taken aback by Mu Zheng's actions, they looked at each other again, and wanted to back out, but knelt and couldn't move.

Lin Youyi seriously suspected that she might be silenced by Mu Zheng in an instant, so how dare she sit in Mu Zheng's chair.

But just as she bounced up as if she had been scalded, Mu Zheng pushed her down again.

As for Mu Zheng, he was standing behind Lin Youyi's chair, with his hands resting on her shoulders with a warm feeling.

"This king told you to sit, so you sit!"

After finishing speaking, Mu Zheng raised his eyes slightly and looked at Qi Yun.

"Have you thought about it? You decide what choice to make!"

Qi Yun's thoughts were brought back to that night more than ten years ago by Mu Zheng's question.

The Taifu's mansion was filled with blood and dead bodies, and then the flames shot up into the sky, and they were burned!
Thinking about it, the scar running through Qi Yun's body began to tear violently again uncontrollably!

Lin Youyi stared at Qi Yun intently, just waiting for his answer.

But seeing the increasingly painful expression on his face, Lin Youyi couldn't help frowning.

"Rescue!"

"Okay! Later, the king will give you a letter of divorce. You take this book to Huo Qiming and ask him to go to the southwest with you and Ling Yun to rescue those miners."

"Yes, subordinates take orders!"

"Go down."

"Subordinates retire!"

After Qi Yun and Ling Yun quickly exited the study room and slowly closed the study door, Mu Zheng turned over and leaned against the edge of the table, folded his arms, and looked at her leisurely.

"Little girl, you were in a panic just now, where are you going?"

"No...no!"

"Are you not panicking, or are you not going to run?"

"nothing!"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes!"

Lin Youyi lowered her head and vigorously stirred the handkerchief, not daring to look into Mu Zheng's eyes.

"Little girl, I will tell you a story!"

"Okay, my little girl is all ears."

"Fifteen years ago, there was a very bad fraud case in the court. The imperial examination is the most important weapon of the country! Some people dare to profit from it, disregarding the laws and regulations, which is really intolerable by the laws of the country! After the father learned about it, Longyan was furious , ordered a thorough investigation."

"I don't know if I don't investigate. Under the strict investigation, many fraudulent behaviors such as stealing questions and leaking questions, selling officials to sell titles, etc. were involved. For a while, countless officials were implicated!"

"Father saw the situation worsen, and fell ill in a fit of anger. All the officials in the court agreed that this case must be concluded as soon as possible, without further delay! Otherwise, it will lead to turmoil in the court and the public!"

"So, in the end, those few unlucky officials were the ones who were really pulled out to take the blame."

"At that time, Qi Yun's father, who was also my benefactor, Mr. Taifu, insisted that the Minister of Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials must be investigated. Otherwise, if the unhealthy trend does not change, the foundation of the country will definitely be shaken!"
