Chapter 209
Tens of thousands of taels of disaster relief money were all given to the gambling house, so rampant, if you don't kill everyone, how can you deter other ministers! ?
"Come here!" The emperor, Long Yan, was furious. He only waited for an order to confiscate Mu's house and exile him to the northwest.

As for the daring Mu Hongyu who embezzled tens of thousands of taels of disaster relief money privately, he must be executed immediately and beheaded for public display!
Mu Wenze's body trembled violently, and he couldn't even cry out his grievances.

Li Yuanfan's face was serious, he shook his head and sighed, as if he was extremely regretful, exactly the same as Li Taifu's expression at this moment.

However, in the eyes of these two people, the hidden coldness is exactly the same.

The crime has been convicted, no matter how glorious the ancestors of the Mu family had, it is now the end of the world.The current Mu family has run out of energy and has ended up with a full family of robbers, so there is no need to worry about it in the future!

Seeing that the guards were about to take Mu Hongyu down, Mu Changge, who had always been by the side of the second wife and the old man, just woke up like a dream, and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

This loud shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty, my servant's elder brother was wronged, and there is absolutely no way for him to take it for himself!"

"Bold!" Li Yuanfan's face tightened, "A concubine's daughter, no matter how ignorant of the rules, she shouldn't be so presumptuous in front of the emperor!"

"Now that the evidence is convincing and the witnesses and evidence are gathered, what else do you have to say, and what reason do you have to refute it!?"

Mu Changge knelt on the ground, with a respectful posture, but without the slightest sign of fear, "I know that I am reckless, but I know better that today's son is a wise king!"

"Using disaster relief money privately, it is true that we should quarrel and destroy the nine clans, but what if the elder brother of the minister's daughter is wronged!?"

"Your Majesty is a Mingjun, and Mingjun cherishes the virtuous minister the most. If you don't know it clearly, you can kill your eldest brother in anger, and you will only realize today's mistake later, and the most heavy heart must be the current Mingjun!"

"Although a subject is not a man, she still has a heart of loyalty to the king of a country. How can she avoid mentioning it just because she is weak for a while?"

As he said that, Mu Changge slowly raised his head, his eyes were firm, "If the emperor can not regret it in the future, even if the courtiers risk their lives to contradict the emperor, they will have nothing to fear!"

After Mu Changge said these words, the faces of everyone in the Mu family changed, and cold sweat broke out.

The emperor is already furious now, crying and begging may not be able to get the emperor's heart softened, but she still contradicts so blatantly, what is the difference from committing evil herself!
Everyone's clothes were wet and wet from the cold sweat, and their eyes were full of panic.

But Mu Changge's heart was as firm as a rock.

Others don't know it, but she knows the temper of the current emperor.

Everyone knew that the power of the sky was unpredictable, and everyone was afraid of the emperor, let alone guessing his intentions.

Only she dares.

In her previous life, in order to please the emperor and pave the way for Su Hanyu, she spent far beyond what ordinary people could have expected.

She knows that the current emperor is indeed a wise king, and she knows even more that in the emperor's heart, those who dare to speak up and fight to the death are far better than those who are obedient.

What's more, she is absolutely sure that today, the emperor will definitely give her a chance to speak, and give the Mu family a chance to speak!
Maintaining that firm gaze, Mu Changge stared at the emperor without saying a word.Sure enough, when everyone was sweating, the emperor spoke.

"Li Aiqing." The emperor said in a deep voice, "Let her say that I am not a tyrant. If I want to behead my subjects, I must have a reason. Get up and answer."

Hearing the last sentence, the corners of Mu Changge's lips twitched into a faint smile, and then he bowed down to the emperor before getting up respectfully.

Being blocked by the emperor, Li Yuanfan's eyes showed some disbelief, he quietly looked at Mrs. Li, but saw a thoughtful expression flashing across Mrs. Li's face.

The emperor looked at Mu Changge, his face was still unrecognizable, "If your eldest brother is not wronged, do you know what kind of fate your reckless behavior will bring you?"

"If elder brother really did such a wicked thing, and had the heart to protect his courtiers, he would be willing to be punished by thousands of knives, as an example to others."

Mu Changge's vermilion lips parted lightly, and the words that spewed out from that beautiful mouth were as clear as pearls falling on a plate.

As soon as the word "thousands of cuts" was said, Aunt Jiang's face turned pale, and her knees softened and knelt on the ground. If Aunt Song hadn't exerted all her strength to pull and hold her down, Aunt Jiang would have It's about to rush up now.

After getting the emperor's promise, Mu Changge took it easy and pointed at Zhu San and Yin Liang, "Master Li, the boss of this gambling shop is really inexplicable."

"Brother and I live in the mansion day and night, if he is really addicted to gambling, how can I not know?"

Before Li Yuanfan could speak, Mu Changge smiled again, "Of course, this alone cannot be used as evidence to prove brother's innocence."

Li Yuanfan squeezed the palm of his hand slightly, and this demon girl had some kind of ghostly thoughts, "It's good that you understand, it doesn't prove anything."

"Master Li, don't worry, Changge didn't want it to be so simple, you can prove your brother's innocence." Mu Changge walked over slowly, his eyes swept over the silver taels all over the floor, his eyebrows raised slightly, his clear eyes, A sharp glare has already passed.

"These are indeed official silver." She stretched out her hand, and picked up a piece of volume between her light-white fingertips, "But who can prove that these official silver must be the batch entrusted by the emperor to the elder brother?" Woolen cloth?"

"Mu Changge, are you playing tricks on us!?" Li Yuanfan said coldly, "Why talk about things that everyone sees! These official bankers are not too much, not too little, just ten thousand taels, right? Your elder brother guards himself and steals, what is it that you get in exchange for stones!?"

Of course Li Yuanfan can be sure, because all the official money was quietly transported out of Mu's house.

Taifu Li is so powerful that it is easy to bribe the guards.Those official silver had long been replaced with stones without anyone noticing.

Even Mu Hongyu, who was by their side every day, would never have expected that this batch of official bankers had been transferred and secretly sent to the gambling house long before that!
Even if they want to search all the way based on the clues of the official bank, what they finally find must be what they want people to notice. Mu Hongyu, and even the entire Mu family, still cannot escape death!
Mu Changge narrowed his eyes slightly, "But what if they aren't?"

"If not, where is the ten thousand taels of official silver deposited with Mr. Mu?" Li Yuanfan replied.

In his gentle eyes, there was already a slight murderous aura that was barely visible.

No matter how scheming the demon woman Mu Changge is, as long as she can't get the ten thousand taels of official silver that should be there, everything will be for nothing!

He waited to see her speechless, to see how she could only sit and wait to die.Unexpectedly, what he waited for was Mu Changge's smile.

"why are you laughing!?"

Li Yuanfan couldn't help it, and became a little angry from embarrassment. He only heard Taifu Li cough lightly behind him, and then he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and suppressed his thoughts.

Mu Changge raised his eyes, and glanced lightly over Li Yuanfan's face, "The official silver in the hands of the eldest brother is naturally still in place, and has never been touched."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar immediately, and Li Yuanfan laughed, "Could it be that the stones all over the ground are fake?"

"That's right, it's a fake." Mu Changge solemnly said word by word.

After finishing speaking, Mu Changge ordered Suyu to pick up a box.

"Your Majesty, you can order Eunuch Guo to take a look to see if this is a box transported from the palace."

As for disaster relief, the emperor must do everything personally, and even the boxes for transporting official silver must be checked by the emperor in advance and confirmed one by one before it can be done.

After taking a closer look at the box, a look of astonishment immediately appeared on Eunuch Guo's face.

As if he couldn't believe it, he looked carefully at the lock of the wooden box, and he was sure just now.

"My Majesty, this, this is not a box for transporting official silver in the palace! It was just imitated by someone, and it looks exactly the same, especially this lock, it's just similar in appearance, and the servant can tell the difference at a glance!"

Li Yuanfan was taken aback, and his heart sank suddenly.

How could this be possible, the Li Mansion had indeed used its power to transfer the official money without anyone noticing, but in order not to show its feet, what was exchanged was only the silver taels in the box, and the wooden box had never been exchanged!

What's going on with these completely different boxes! ?
All these arrangements were agreed between him and Li Taifu, if Li Taifu did it for some other reason, how could he not mention a word and hide it from him?
Taking a look at Grand Tutor Li secretly, Li Yuanfan was able to conclude that Grand Tutor Li didn't know about it either.

Originally everything was under control, but now it changed suddenly, Li Yuanfan's heart tightened immediately, he tried his best to stabilize his mind, and said coldly: "The boxes are different, so what can you prove?"

"Master Li, why should you be so impatient? Things will come to light soon, just let me tell you one by one." Mu Changge raised his eyes lightly, and his cold gaze fell into Li Yuanfan's eyes, like a sharp dagger, with a sharp edge. The wind passed by.

Mu Changge pursed his lips lightly, with a calm expression, "After listening to the urgent report from that father-in-law, all of us had some preconceived ideas, thinking that the official bank just disappeared, but in fact, none of the official bankers were there. few."

"These boxes were indeed made by Big Brother secretly ordering people to compare them with the wooden boxes in the palace. And all the stones inside were found by Big Brother and put in one by one. These are indeed true. It's the big brother."

Mu Changge spoke word by word, even with a half-smile on his face.

"Changge! You—!?" The second lady's eyes widened in disbelief, but a sneer secretly appeared on Mu Wenxian's face.
