There was an assassination incident on the way to Beijing. Su Mo had planned to eliminate Fang Shi as a hidden danger for her mission.

But before she could take action, she suddenly heard the news of his death, and she felt a little complicated.

From the information given by Mu Si, Su Mo could easily guess the reason why Fang Shi would be assassinated.

It was probably Fang Shi who wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill her. Everything was arranged well, but he never thought that the people behind the scenes would suddenly learn her true identity.

And then... choose the important and give up the light.

Su Mo lowered his eyes and remained silent.

When Fang Shi betrayed the fourth prince and chose another master, the person who was willing to take over must be profitable. But now, giving up at any time is definitely not a good thing.

I just hope they don’t have a good match in the future.

Of course, if that day comes, she won't be afraid.

Mu Si kept his head lowered. He did not tell Su Mo that he had actually guessed who was behind the scenes.

The person behind the scenes acted cautiously, and the letters exchanged with Fang Shi did not contain any information that could reveal his identity.

But Fang Shi is not an ordinary person. If others see what Fang Shi left behind, they may be in a deadlock.

But Mu Si is different. He and the people behind the scenes have one thing in common, they are both black-armored guards...

When Mu Si first read the letter, he didn't see much of it, but he felt that some of the words were very familiar.

He spread out the letters and read them carefully, word for word, when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, and then a wave of emotion arose in his heart.

Most of the place names and events that seemed to be mentioned accidentally in the letter were related to the errands that their black-armored guards had been doing in recent days.

If that's the case, wouldn't the person behind the scenes be...

just.

First, there is no direct evidence.

Secondly, that person has a special status.

Mu Si had originally planned to conceal the news when he met Emperor Jingyong, and simply reported that there was someone else behind the scenes. Then he would follow Emperor Jingyong's instructions and bring that person's ambition to light.

But who would have thought that Emperor Jingyong wanted to take advantage of this incident to punish the Jianghu killers. In addition, the capital was panicked and could not tolerate any further delay.

Naturally, Mu Si could not directly confront Emperor Jingyong. On the surface, he agreed, but after leaving the palace, he left a secret message to Gu Qinhan.

In the letter, he wrote down all the information he found in their code words.

Black-armored guards are the emperor's personal guards, and they are loyal to whoever is the emperor.

As for those princes, they turned a blind eye to what they did in private, and just collected all the evidence. When Emperor Jingyong wanted to take action, they would be the knife.

But Mu Si is an outlier among them.

He is only loyal to Gu Qinhan, and his mind is full of how that person dared to take action against the commander's family.

Emperor Jingyong didn't want them to investigate further, so he stopped investigating.

Not only did he not investigate, he also did the opposite.

He wants to help that person go up a tall building as he wishes, and then help that person fall down hard.

Murder must be punished.

"Madam, I have written a letter to inform the commander of what happened in the palace. It's just that there are many things happening on the border, and the commander may not be able to do anything at all..."

Seeing that Su Mo was silent, Mu Si's eyes flashed slightly and he took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.

Su Mo came back to his senses and said, "Business matters are important. Besides, there is a case in front of us. I don't think those young people dare to do it again."

Although Emperor Jingyong knew that Fang Shi was not the real culprit behind the scenes, in order to scare the monkeys and show the importance he attached to Su Mo and others, he issued an order to confiscate the three clans.

However, Fang Shi was abandoned since he was a child and was later taken in by Yishantang founded by Su Zhiyuan. Therefore, according to his household registration, he was a widowed man with no family or relatives.

The wife broke off the relationship because of the divorce letter.There is a daughter, but Xuan Ping Hou couldn't stand the pleading of Emperor Jing Yong's nose and tears. The little girl's surname was changed, and her household registration was changed to her maiden name.

This back and forth was said to have wiped out three clans, but in fact no one was killed.

The slaves in Fang Mansion were fine if they were deeded alive and were dismissed on the spot. But if they were deeded alive, they would be confiscated as property.

The men were exiled and became slaves, while the women were sent to military camps to serve as military prostitutes.

The official officer who went to search the house looked carefully at the roster for a long time, and found that the steward was not there, and was about to report to him so that he could be arrested and brought to justice, when someone went to him and whispered something in his ear.

The officer's face suddenly looked strange.

After all, the steward who signed the death contract was let go at this stall. It would be difficult for anyone who heard this not to think too much.

But that's not what he can worry about.

They are just a bunch of brats. They insist on getting involved in the fight between the gods and they are desperate for their lives.

Mu Si knew a lot of information, so he specifically asked Su Mo about it.

"Your Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to collect Fang Shi's body, so his body is still lying there in Jingzhao Mansion. At night, someone will carry it to the mass grave. You think you have to take action secretly..."

The relationship between Fang Shi and Su Mo is different from others. If Fang Shi didn't value power too much and was obsessed with climbing up, he would have been one of the few relatives of Su Mo who had no blood relationship in the world...

People's emotions are very complicated. At certain times, you hate a person because of certain things, so you make certain decisions resolutely. However, things have changed at that time, and your mood is different from the past. Looking back, you will feel regret in your heart.

Mu Si didn't want Su Mo to be like this in the future.

Su Mo was silent for a while, thinking about what Mu Si said: There is a tablet in the ancestral hall of Fang Mansion that belongs to your father.

She pursed her lips and did not agree directly. Instead, she asked: "Will this cause trouble for you?"

Mu Si shook his head, wondering what kind of trouble it would cause to secretly collect a corpse.

Seeing this, Su Mo said, "Then it's all your fault."

"It is a humble honor to serve Madam."

Mu Si was quite happy, "I just don't know what Madam's request is for this cemetery? It's still early, if Madam has any request, just ask. I'll definitely take care of my humble duty."

"There is no need to go to such trouble. Just choose a quiet place to bury him. There is no need to erect a monument, so as not to cause trouble."

He was already a guilty person, and it was enough to collect his body for him, but there was no need to pay so much attention to it.

Mu Si nodded, keeping Su Mo's words in mind.

Gu Guanshi, who was guarding the door, knocked on the door at this moment, "Madam, it's been almost two quarters of an hour."

The third pot of tea is being served in the front hall.

Having said all that needed to be said, the two of them strode out of the ear room.

Mu Si did not leave and followed Su Mo into the front hall. If those three stewards dared to be disrespectful to Su Mo.

Ah!
He will let them know the horror of the Black Armored Guard.

It's just that the picture Mu Si imagined didn't appear.

The moment Su Mo stepped into the front hall, the three stewards looked sideways, and then they all seemed to freeze.

The three men, who together were almost a hundred years old, had red eyes at the same time.

After so many years, the biggest change in my lady's face is the appearance of a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

His body has grown taller, but he is slimmer than before, and he no longer looks as coquettish as before. At first glance, he looks calm.

How hard it was!

The three stewards spoke tremblingly, "Miss..."
