After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 134 Captured Xu Yao
Tian Yu probably told him about this a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come at midnight that day.

Lianyi asked incomprehension: "Did he not investigate clearly? Big brother is so capable, he shouldn't have no clues!"

Facing Lianyi's astonishment, Meng Liangchen didn't think so, after all, Mu Ze wasn't omnipotent.

After Lianyi came out of the Hou's mansion, she still couldn't settle down after thinking about it, so she turned to look for Mu Ze.

When she arrived at Mu Ze's private residence outside the palace, Mu Ze was not there. She thought it would be a waste of time to come, but she was unwilling, and accidentally found out that someone was imprisoned in the secret prison of her elder brother recently, so she rolled her eyes Then he ran to the dark prison.

Naturally, the dark prison will not let her in, but Lianyi is not such a person who gives up easily, and finally has something interesting, so of course she has to find out.

When Lianyi came out from Mu Ze, the expressions on her face were mixed.

When Xu Yao was arrested, he was talking with a group of scholars in a study, very impassioned.

Someone broke in, interrupting their atmosphere. It was the first time for the scholars to see this battle, and they were so frightened that they lost their voices.

Only Xu Yao remained calm: "Who is coming! Do you know where this is!"

The person who came was dressed in strong attire, not like an officer or soldier, but his menacing aura was really frightening, and he gave an order without saying a word.

"Arrests!"

Before everyone could react, two people came out from behind the man who gave the order, and twisted Xu Yao's hands together.

Xu Yao's face changed drastically: "Bold! Do you know the identity of my son!"

The leader's face remained unchanged, and he ordered: "Take it away!"

No matter what Xu Yao said, no matter how much he shouted, no one responded to him. The servants he brought had already been controlled, and the scholars in the study were already terrified and at a loss.

Xu Yao was blindfolded, gagged, and brought into the carriage. The carriage wobbled to nowhere. Every day, the color on his calm face also lost color.

After the scholars in the study came to their senses, someone quickly informed the Prime Minister of this matter, and Xu Xiang's face suddenly turned cold, so he ordered someone to investigate.

The dark tide was raging that night, and on the second day in the hall, there was a scene where Xu Xiang and Mu Ze faced each other.

Xu Xiang's face was haggard, and his old face was full of fatigue.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old minister! The eldest son of the old minister does not know what crime he has committed, so dare to ask the eldest prince why he arrested him for no reason!"

Mu Ze was not in a hurry, and replied: "This king did not arrest people for no reason. There are many disasters in the two places after the next year, which will involve a lot of things. The father and emperor handed over to the sons and ministers. Among them, the confession involved the son of Xu Xiang, and the sons and ministers passed on Mr. Xu came to inquire."

Xu Xiang's expression turned cold, he suppressed the overwhelming feeling in his heart, and said calmly: "Dare to ask the eldest prince, do you have evidence?"

Mu Ze glanced at him indifferently: "There is oral evidence, and there is evidence."

Xu Xiang asked again: "Where is the witness? I hope the First Prince will bring the witness to the court and confront the old man and the dog!"

"No." Mu Ze answered simply.

"Why?!"

Mu Ze replied calmly: "This case involves a lot. Before a thorough investigation, witnesses should not be easily revealed to others, lest some people with hidden evil intentions secretly harm them. This king will only rest assured if he puts people in front of his eyes. If anything happens, this king will not be able to explain to his father and the people of the world."

Xu Xiangqi's old face turns green and turns pale: "Elder Prince! Arresting people at will, and not wanting to call witnesses, is against the law of the king!"

Mu Ze turned his gaze back: "The case is not yet clear, and this king is only acting impartially. After asking clearly, if he has nothing to do with Mr. Ling, he will let him go back. Xu Xiang doesn't have to worry so much."

Xu Xiang's face was extremely ugly. Seeing that Mu Ze couldn't explain clearly, he knelt down and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince has no evidence and no evidence, and uses strong words! I also hope that the Emperor will be the master of the old minister!"

The emperor sat on the Dragon Seat, his face was expressionless, but he was still a little tired, and he seemed a bit absent-minded.

Until this moment, he seemed to have regained some energy, and seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

"Xu Aiqing is right."

Xu Xiang looked happy, and wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly the emperor changed the subject, and opened his mouth again.

"But this matter is of great importance, and it is related to the foundation of the Great Mu Dynasty. Don't be petty, and don't draw conclusions easily. Of course, I believe that Aiqing's beloved son has nothing to do with this matter. Choosing a son is also a matter of fairness. If the investigation is clear, Xu Xiangzi's son will definitely be cleared, so why rush at this moment?"

Xu Xiang's heart sank, he understood that the emperor said he believed him on the surface, but he might have suspected him in his heart.

He was silent for a moment, calming down the turbulent emotions in his heart, so he had to take a step back.

Now is not the time to turn your face!
"Dare to ask the First Prince, when will you release him?"

Mu Ze replied coldly: "Find out the matter."

Xu Xiang gritted his teeth: "Dare to ask the eldest prince, when will we find out!"

In his current situation, it is obvious that the fur-fried lion has been suppressed to the limit.

The emperor finally opened his mouth at this time: "Cho'er, I am grateful for Xu Xiang's heartfeltness to the court and to me in the court hall, so I hope you can release him within two days at most if there is no conclusive evidence!"

What the emperor said was specious, it sounded good, and he wanted to save Xiang Xu's face, but after careful consideration, he could come up with many meanings.

Even if he is released, it does not mean that Xu Yao is innocent, but there is not enough evidence to convict him!

Xu Xiang is simply a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis, he can't tell the pain!
After going to court, Mu Ze and Mu Yun went to the imperial study together, and Mu Yun's expression was a little dignified.

"Brother, I still feel that what you did this time is a bit inappropriate!"

Mu Ze glanced at him and said, "What's wrong?"

Mu Yun immediately said: "If you do this, you will only scare the snake!"

But Mu Ze replied: "Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative."

"But if you come here suddenly this time, it will only irritate them and make them do unpredictable things!" Mu Yun still disagreed.

Mu Ze's eyes turned cold for a moment, and he said: "If you wait any longer, I'm afraid the wings will be completely stiff, and no matter how much we do, it won't help!"

Mu Yun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the emperor who was drinking tea behind the dragon case.

"Okay, that's it for now."

Unwilling, Mu Yun said, "But father, this matter..."

The emperor interrupted him again and said, "Your elder brother made this decision after discussing it with me, and it's already been like this, and there is no room for change. Now this timing is not considered reckless."
