However, after all, Cao Mu has been in the officialdom for decades, and he can be regarded as an old fox. He regained his composure after a little tidying up, and responded respectfully: "Isn't Guard Lin someone close to the emperor? The old minister has met a few times."

"Just met a few times?" Nangong Yanfeng narrowed his eyes: "I haven't done anything else..."

"This..." Cao Mu immediately lowered his head, showing embarrassment, hesitantly said: "A few days ago, Guard Lin approached the old minister, saying that the general lost the evidence he had found, and asked the old minister to give him an answer. Think of ways to……"

"Since General Huangfu interceded, I will keep my promise to spare his life, but...the death penalty is inevitable, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Nan Gongyan looked coldly in Cao Mu's direction, and a meaningful gloomy light flashed in his eyes. "If I didn't guess wrong, the last time Cao Aiqing asked me to send your virtuous son-in-law to Ning'an to rectify the law and order, I'm afraid it was out of selfishness. An replaced Huangfu Lingfeng, when I see the results, I will consider transferring you to other places."

However, Cao Mu was also very puzzled. If he remembered correctly, He Jia had mentioned before that Nangong Longkui and Concubine Wu De already had full confidence in this side, which was enough to make Huangfuyi have no hope of turning around. Why is there no movement from the second prince?

"The old minister implores the emperor to take back his order. Although my son Ling Feng didn't intend to go to Ning'an this time, but before leaving, Feng'er assured the old man again and again that he must do something when he goes to Ning'an this time. Show the results to the emperor, and let everyone know that his Huangfu Lingfeng entered the court not only because of the old man's thin face, but I also hope that the emperor can give him such a chance to sharpen, and wait for them to become an official of the younger generation. As we grow up, my Lingyue Kingdom will also become stronger and stronger, and my emperor, Jiangshan, and the country will last forever."

"You said—" Nangong Yan stood up abruptly, slapped the desk with a big palm, and glared angrily at Guard Lin who was kneeling in the hall.

"Then what's your intention?" Nan Gongyan asked sharply without giving Cao Mu a chance to breathe.

However, in the end, life is what matters. Cao Mu had no choice but to take this step even if he didn't want to. His body curled up on the ground turned slightly, and his flickering eyes stared at Huangfuyi who had lost a lot of weight. A touch of color.

Guard Lin hadn't recovered from the astonishment just now, he never thought that Master Cao would suddenly bite him back, it was obviously Master Cao who approached him on his own initiative...

Hearing this, Cao Mu's face changed suddenly, and his help-seeking eyes reflexively stared in the direction of Nangong Longkui, but the man coldly avoided his eyes, and didn't care about him at all, but at this moment, Huangfuyi spoke again—

"The old minister was wronged..." Cao Mu was choked up by Nan Gongyan's words, and he blushed and managed to squeeze out these words, but he couldn't continue.

"Before begging for my forgiveness, shouldn't you ask someone first?" Nangong Yanfeng narrowed his eyes, and a clear light flashed: "If General Huangfu is willing to forgive you, I will let you live. If General Huangfu can't forgive you, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Old minister... The eldest daughter of the old minister, Feng Jue, has been married to Huangfu's family for more than half a year, but not long ago, General Huangfu's eldest son, Huangfu Lingfeng, suddenly issued a letter of divorce. The old minister went to the general's residence many times to try to make peace, but General Huangfu avoided her. I don't see, the old minister was unwilling, that's why...he was...confused for a while..." Cao Mu lowered his head, but his eyes were peeking at Nangong Longkui who was not far away, the sharp and cold light in the man's eyes Can't help but make him shudder.Even if one person handles all this matter, he would never dare to involve the second prince.

Huangfuyi also did not expect that the result of the investigation of this matter would be Cao Mu. Based on his understanding of Cao Mu, even if he borrowed ten guts from him, he might not dare to do something to deceive the king.

"Isn't the emperor's great gift annoying the old minister?" Huangfuyi's eyes flashed with astonishment, and she hurriedly got up to return the gift. This scene was also something he had never expected, and while being flattered, he also threw away all the previous dissatisfaction. Behind the heads.

"The old minister dare not, please the emperor to be careful, because the Lin guards are begging for help..." Cao Mu's cold sweat broke out instantly, and he kowtowed again and again.

"Can the emperor still not trust the old minister?" Cao Mu gritted his teeth and said, "The old minister has followed the emperor for decades, and has also made great contributions to the Lingyue Kingdom..."

"Then what? Then you forged an identical letter to him?!" Nan Gongyan sneered, "Is Cao Aiqing contemptuous of my intelligence, or is it because you have ulterior motives at all?"

Huangfuyi's righteous and awe-inspiring eyes were calm and unruffled, and the sharp eyes just stared straight at the man in front of him. As a man, he also knew that when a person fell into a desperate situation, how much he wished for a hand to At this moment, it is true that Cao Mu is unkind to him, but he has no choice but to be unrighteous. This time, he will pay off the debt for his son. From then on, he will be cleared with the Cao family.After secretly making up her mind, Huangfuyi opened her mouth slowly——

"Now that the truth is revealed, the emperor can be regarded as returning the old minister's innocence, so that the old minister will be satisfied. As for Mr. Cao... Although the old minister is also ashamed of his behavior, I hope the emperor can forgive me in vain. For the sake of being loyal to the court for so many years, let him live."

Speaking of this, Nangong Longze's eyes seemed to pass by Nangong Longkui's handsome face inadvertently, without any strange color, but it made the other party's heart skip a beat, apparently feeling that Nangong Longze's words were meaningful. refers to.

Next, of course, Cao Mu still couldn’t escape punishment. Nangong Yan looked at him coldly and said in a low voice, “Since Huangfu Lingfeng is determined to make some achievements in Ning’an, I will send you to assist him. Anyway, dozens of members of your Cao family will be buried with you."

Huangfuyi's attitude really shocked everyone. No one thought that Huangfuyi would make such a decision. Could it be that his brain was flooded?But looking at the man again, there is an outstanding demeanor in his vigorous eyes. Although this experience has made him suffer a lot, as a mature man, he will regard this experience as a precious treasure in life, and be careful Treasure in the bottom of my heart.

After finishing speaking, the man clasped his fists in both hands and bowed slightly towards Huangfuyi. All the officials were in an uproar. The emperor is the emperor of ninety-five years. With such a noble status, he bowed down to salute the general of Zhen Guo. He must be No. 1 in the creation of heaven and earth!

"Good! Well said!" Nan Gongyan couldn't help clapping his hands, and said in a deep voice, "General Huangfu and his son are loyal, and I feel ashamed of my previous reckless actions. Today, in front of important officials in the court, I I want to apologize to General Huangfu and ask for forgiveness from General Huangfu."

His answer immediately made Nan Gongyan even more angry. He never thought that this disturbance was actually because of Cao Mu's own thoughts, because his daughter was divorced by Huangfu Lingfeng, so he angered Huangfu because of this matter. home, and designed to frame Huangfuyi.

However, nothing is absolute, people are forced to do anything, Huangfu Yi expected that Cao Mu should also be pissed off by Huangfu Lingfeng's divorce of his wife. Make up your mind that you will never interfere with your children's personal feelings, and that the life of the next generation will be managed by themselves.

"The last general is bold, please be aware of the details. Although the last general is wrong in the first place, he should not have deceived the emperor, but the last general did not intend to deceive the emperor, but Mr. Cao offered to help the late general to solve the problem. This problem..." Guard Lin frowned, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Although my subordinates also felt doubts about Mr. Cao's intentions later, they still got hotheaded and did things stupidly. Regarding the mistakes I made, The final general is willing to be punished, but if Mr. Cao wants to impose Mo's false accusation on the latter, the latter would rather die than admit it."

"General Huangfu, we...have been in-laws anyway, please, for the sake of past affection, please help me speak a few words in front of the emperor." Cao Mu's tone obviously lacked confidence, and his cheeks twitched unnaturally. Down.

"Could it be that Mr. Cao has contacts with people from the Northern Border Kingdom?" Nangong Longze whispered again, which really scared Cao Mu soberly. The crime of treason is not just a joke. But it is a felony to punish the nine clans.

"No, no, no, the old minister definitely did not collude with the enemy country..." Cao Mu shook his head anxiously.

"Your Majesty..." Cao Mu was already sweating profusely, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and begged slightly tremblingly: "Please forgive me for the sake of my loyalty to the Emperor for decades. This time..."

Nan Gongyan seemed to be completely awakened by his own words, why was he so confused?But right now even if Cao Mu and Lin Shiwei were caught falsifying the evidence, there was no way to straighten out the whole case. At this moment, the man turned his eyes to the direction of Nangong Longze. He should have known it clearly in his heart.

Cao Mu was so frightened that his legs went limp at this moment. He was curled up on the ground like a puddle of mud. He kowtowed, but he couldn't say a word. He didn't understand at all. Nangong Longze How did he know that the handwriting and seal on the two letters were exactly the same, and how did the first letter fall into his hands?

"If Mr. Cao can't explain the matter clearly, then I can only deal with it on the charge of collaborating with the enemy country." Nan Gongyan raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily. You are not joking. Of course, what he said cannot be a joke.

"Good Cao Mu, I have trusted you all these years in vain, but just for personal grievances, I played with you in the palm of my hand. In your eyes, do you still have this emperor..." Nangong Yan shouted angrily At the same time, he ordered someone to untie Huangfuyi and watch the seat.

"The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. I was reckless and almost made a big mistake. I should apologize to General Huangfu." Nan Gongyan's attitude is very sincere. Such a move will naturally make his image in the eyes of his courtiers even taller. .

"I just thought of something suddenly..." Nan Gongyan's complexion suddenly calmed down, but his eagle eyes that were as dark as deep were even darker, and he looked at Cao Mu coldly: "It suddenly occurred to me that you and General Huangfu are not In-laws? What happened to him? Not only did you not come to me and say a good word for him, but you helped Guard Lin make a fake letter to fool me. Is General Huangfu dead?" 13acv.

"Fourth, I have been waiting for you to speak! Why did you suddenly stop talking..." Nan Gongyan's deep voice escaped slowly, and his deep eyes were full of meaning.

This imperial decree really made Cao Mu completely desperate, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his body, and his heart trembled, only to hear Nan Gongyan's deep and mellow voice again: "At any rate, you are also a veteran of the court. If you are determined, you will be able to make some achievements, and with time, if I see that you have committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds, and brought Ning'an into order, maybe I will consider transferring you back to Beijing."

It's Mu Yan.Cao Mu suddenly woke up, the emperor's meaning is quite clear, as long as he can get Huangfuyi's understanding, at least he can save his old life, but he has been an official in the same dynasty for so many years, suddenly let him put down his body to intercede with Huangfuyi, It was really embarrassing, not to mention that he couldn't be sure whether Huangfuyi would be willing to forgive him.

"I just want to hear... How Master Cao will blame himself!" Nangong Longze looked coldly at Cao Mu's trembling body, snorted coldly, and frowned, "Father, you can look carefully. The seals and handwriting on the two letters are exactly the same, no matter how skilled the master is to forge it, there is no way to do it. The only explanation is... the two letters were originally written by one person, and this person probably It is not far from the culprit who intends to frame General Huangfu."

It's like giving a candy to the head after being given a blow to the head. Naturally, Nan Gongyan has his reasons for doing so. Although Cao Mu committed a crime this time, his political achievements in the court over the years are indeed indispensable. Putting such an experienced veteran in a troubled world like Ning'an's, it would certainly be effective.

As for Huangfu Lingfeng, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but after all, he is too young, so he must be a bit lacking in strategy. With his courage and Cao Mu's strategy, this is what Ning An needs now.This time, it can be regarded as a rare opportunity given to Nan Gongyan by the gods, killing two birds with one stone and ending perfectly.
