There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 437
Although the Mu family is a big family in Lin'an City, when they fled south with Emperor Gaozong, the family came to Yuezhou City and bought real estate and land in Yuezhou City.

Mu Xuan, as the grandson of the Mu family's concubine, came to Yuezhou City this time. First, he was ordered by his grandfather to marry the Li family, and second, he came to inspect the farm's harvest.

It's the end of the year, and the New Year's goods from the farms outside the city will be collected and shipped to Lin'an.

The big family in Lin'an are still waiting for the harvest of this farm to celebrate the new year.

The food, fish meat, brewed wine, and all kinds of animal skins have been prepared, and now they are waiting for the fresh vegetables in the field to be picked. In addition, there are still some lotus roots that have not been dug yet.

Wait another two or three days, and when all these are ready, he can bring the New Year's goods back to Lin'an for the New Year.

He came to Yuezhou City only to complete the things arranged by his family, but he didn't expect to meet Zhao Cong unexpectedly.

If Zhao Cong's matter is handled well, his status in the family will definitely be improved.

He is not the eldest grandson, and it is not his turn to intervene in some important affairs of the family.

The family business will not let him inherit the big head.

Therefore, he could only work extra hard to climb up.

Thinking about his previous life, he was the eldest grandson of the family, he had the final say on everything, and he would inherit the family business without any effort, so he would be angry when he came to another world?

Really useless.

Mu Xuan refused to accept his fate, he wanted to fight for himself.

So, he made a bold arrangement today.
-
At the second watch of the cold winter, when the cold wind blows, everything in Mu's house is quiet, and many servants have fallen asleep.

Two night servants, yawning with their sleeves rolled up, were sitting in the inverted room by the courtyard door on duty.

In the stove in front of them, the charcoal fire was burning vigorously, and the room was warm with smoke, and the two of them wanted to sleep more and more.

At this time, the door of the house was suddenly slammed.

"Open the door, open the door!" There was a hurried voice, shouting loudly.

Listening to it in the silence of the night makes one's heart flustered.

The drowsiness of the two servants was suddenly frightened and disappeared.

"Who is this? What are you yelling for in such a cold night? His family is dead?" A servant yawned, stretched himself, and walked out of the back room to open the courtyard door. "Who's family?" Dead, what are you shouting about?"

The servant insists that he is the servant of a third-rank university scholar's family, and he never pays attention to the servants of other residences in Yuezhou City.

Because in Yuezhou City, the rank of the Mu family is high.

Even the magistrates of the fourth grade, when they saw their young master Mu, would bow their hands politely, say hello, and accompany them with a smile.

Unexpectedly, this time, the servant capsized in the gutter.

The people who broke in didn't agree with him, so they kicked him hard, sneered and said, "Presumptuous, dare to scold the officials? How many heads have you been chopped off?"

what?
Is this someone from the official family?

The servant of the Mu family was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly stepped aside, "Little... villain, please forgive me!"

"Where is Mu Xuan? The official Xuan Mu Xuan quickly go to see!" It was Zheng Yuan who spoke, and he was the one who kicked.

He is the leader of the palace guard, a third-rank guard with a sword, how could he be afraid of Mu Xuan, a son of an official without rank?
He didn't pay much attention to the servants of the Mu family.

Another servant of the Mu family immediately said, "Master, please wait a moment. The villain will immediately invite my young master to come! Please wait, sir."

After speaking, he lifted his robe and ran quickly to the back house.

I muttered in my heart, what happened?
The people who came were vicious, as if things were not good for the young master!
-
Mu Xuan was reading in the study, waiting for his subordinates to come back and report the situation.

According to the plan, the matter could be resolved within an hour, but now two hours have passed, and the person has not returned yet.

Mu Xuan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He pushed open the door and was about to take a walk in the courtyard when he saw the servant guarding the gate running quickly, exclaiming in surprise, "Young master, the people around the official family have come to the mansion, and I declare you to go see the official family right away." !"

official?Gaozong?
Mu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Damn bunch of scumbags, the plan failed?

With a cold face, Mu Xuan pursed his lips and said nothing, and came to the gate of the house.

Zheng Yuan, the leader of the guards beside Gaozong, stood at the door of the house, dressed in a black robe, with a fierce look on his face. When he saw Mu Xuan approaching, he said in a cold voice, "Master Mu, the official has something to ask you, come with me immediately." Shall we go?"

Mu Xuan was not afraid, and said lightly, "What is the official looking for me for?"

"You'll know when you go." Zheng Yuan flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

The servant who was kicked in the Mu house whispered to Mu Xuan, "Young master, this man had such a temper just now. As soon as the villain opened the door, he kicked him up. The villain's heart still hurts."

Hit someone when you open the door?

This is probably a bad omen.

"Understood, prepare the carriage!"

"Yes, young master."
-
This night, the back hall of the prefect's yamen in Yuezhou was brightly lit again.

Compared with last time, the Zhifu family felt much more relaxed.

Because someone is going to be unlucky and take the blame.

The prefect of Yuezhou sat with Gaozong in the main hall of the East Wing where Emperor Gaozong rested, with a relaxed expression.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng stood beside the magistrate, one of them looked sad, the other looked angry, they were both pretending.

Gaozong sat at the head, with a sullen expression.

In the room on the west side, sat the prefect's wife and the prefect's daughter.

The two sat around the stove and warmed up, waiting for news from the house over there.

A servant inquired about the news and ran in, "Madam, Miss, the young master of the Mu family is here and has gone into the east room."

"Go to investigate again, and report immediately when you hear the news." The magistrate's wife said.

"Yes, ma'am." The woman quickly ran away again.

In the house, there are only mother and daughter.

Madam Zhifu smiled and said, "When Li Jiaoniang came that day, I was so scared when I heard the news. Today, we finally don't have to be scared anymore."

The magistrate's daughter glanced towards the east side, and asked her mother in a low voice, "Mother, tell me... will the officials believe it?"

The magistrate's wife smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Li Jiaoniang. What happened a few days ago was so dangerous that she saved it all. The evidence for what happened today is convincing. Can the Mu family still escape?"

"..."

"Just wait and see, the official family will definitely punish the Mu family's crimes!" The magistrate's wife lowered the volume of her voice as she spoke, "The matter of Pu'an County King's amnesia and dementia can just be planted on the Mu family. It's on his head! Your father doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

The Prince of Pu'an was exiled to Yuezhou City. No one knows where the memory loss and dementia started.

If the officials investigate and find out the real murderer, they will make the people of Yuezhou City responsible.

As for the magistrate's yamen, first of all, it is difficult to escape the responsibility.

The prefect's family knew that Emperor Gaozong had come to ask the King of Pu'an, and they were so frightened that they didn't have a good rest for a few days.

Li Jiaoniang discussed with them, and first concealed the matter of Pu'an County King, and refused to admit that Pu'an County King was in Yuezhou. As long as the officials couldn't see anyone, everything would be easy to handle.

But today, the Mu family actually helped them solve a difficult problem—robbing and killing the King of Pu'an County!

The bold and witty Li Jiaoniang and his wife made another unexpected decision, announcing that their adopted son is the King of Pu'an County.

Of course, they said they didn't know about it beforehand, and it was the servants of the Mu family who said it.

But now, after the assassination of Pu'an County King, he became amnesiac and demented.

In fact, even if they didn't say a word, the officials would believe that the Mu family was responsible for Prince Pu'an's amnesia and dementia.

.

Mu Xuan bit the bullet and followed Zheng Yuan into the main hall of the East Wing.

"Officials, Mu Xuan has arrived." Zheng Yuan stepped forward to reply.

Mu Xuan stepped forward and saluted Emperor Gaozong in a very upright manner, "My humble minister, Mu Xuan, kowtow to the official family."

Gaozong threw a few items on the ground in front of Mu Xuan with a murderous look on his face.

He couldn't speak, so Jichang spoke for him, "Master Mu, please explain, what's going on with these things? Oh no, to be precise, why did the eight guards of the Mu family pretend to be robbers? Ambushing near Chengcheng Medical Hall? Intending to assassinate—Pu'an County King?"

Mu Xuan raised his head, pretending to be surprised, "Prince of Pu'an County? Assassinated by the guards of the Mu family? Lord Ji, I don't know anything about it."

"Master Mu, you don't know? Why don't you ask your family's guards?" Ji Chang sneered, "Come here, bring Mu's guards!"

A yamen servant ran out, and after a while, two people escorted a man in black and black hat, and walked in.

"Your Majesty!"

The guards of the Mu family were kicked to the ground.

When Mu Xuan saw that person, the chill in his heart went straight to the top of his head.

It's over, is he going to hang up today?
"The adopted sons of Mrs. Li and Guanren Luo of Chengxin Medical Center are the King of Pu'an County. Your people went to assassinate with a purpose. Mu Xuan, are you instigating all of this?" Ji Chang asked sharply again.

Mu Xuan was stunned, did Gao Zong know that that idiot was Zhao Cong?
