Chapter 289 Little Overlord: I Suspect You Are Setting a Trap for Me
Ningzhou Fucheng, before Dafeng, had also been the capital of a country with a glorious history. It was also the central city of Dafeng. All the merchants coming and going came from the southeast, northwest, and connected to all directions, so the place was extremely prosperous. .
When Qin Liuxi and his entourage arrived, the Xiao family had already sent someone to wait. They were the most capable confidants around Governor Xiao. When they saw the Xiao family's carriage from afar, they immediately rode forward and jumped in front of Xiao Zhanrui's carriage. .
"The old slave has met the young master."
Xiao Zhanrui lifted the car curtain and said, "Uncle Jiang is here. No need to be polite. Is the house ready?"
"We are all ready. The master is also waiting in the mansion now." Butler Jiang looked at the back of the motorcade and took a step forward: "Young Master, who is that?"
"Right behind."
"Then let me go and see you first?"
Xiao Zhanrui nodded. Although Mu Xi was not allowed to make it public, the family knew he was coming and would certainly come forward to greet him, lest a certain dandy suddenly settle accounts with his wife.
Butler Jiang came up to greet him, but he didn't even see anyone. He didn't expect that a noble man like Mu Shizi would be so condescending as to meet a slave like him. He just gave his name and kowtowed in front of the carriage. Walk with your body bowed.
In fact, Mu Xiren was not in the carriage, but was staying in Qin Liuxi's car.
The carriages began to enter the city.
Mu Xi had no intention of taking a look outside. Ningzhou Mansion was prosperous and glorious, could it possibly be as prosperous as Shengjing?
He was more concerned about the heroic soul who had followed Qin Liuxi on the road to pay homage, and he couldn't help but ask.
"The prince asked where they came from?" Qin Liuxi said calmly: "Return their bones to their hometown? Such soldiers died in the mountains for no reason. What can you think of? If they are rebels, you Dare you carve their names on their tombstones?”
Mu Xi's face was still a little childish. She frowned when she heard this, and after a long time she asked: "If they were rebels, would you collect their bodies?"
Qin Liuxi lowered his eyes, not knowing anything.
"Then they were wronged, what can you do? Reverse the case for them?" Qin Liuxi said with a smile: "I tell you their origins, you can reverse the case for them? Instead of using the power in your hands to make your emperor My brother-in-law pardons me, but he should seriously find out the truth, make them innocent, and make it known to the world. This is called overturning the case."
Mu Xi pursed her lips.
"You also know that the former Minister of Guanglu Temple made a mistake during the grand festival in July this year and was confiscated, right?"
"Qing Guanglu Temple? Qin Yuanshan's old man with a goatee?" Mu Xi thought for a while, and a short old man with a goatee appeared in her mind.
Qin Liuxi: "..."
Mu Xi said: "Of course I know about such a big thing. I'm still at the scene. It's a big sacrificial event. There's a big problem with the sacrifice. That old man is really looking for death. My brother-in-law didn't behead him on the spot to comfort his ancestors. He's in luck."
Qin Liuxi: He is young and ignorant, I will tolerate him!
"But why do you ask this? Qin Yuanshan's family was confiscated and exiled. Oh, no, the women and children seem to have been returned to their hometown. Qin Yuanshan should be lucky that Concubine Meng was so confident that she gave birth to a little prince. The brother-in-law wanted to bring good fortune to this boy. , so they were not beheaded as punishment, otherwise, this family would have been beheaded as sacrifices.”
"I would like to ask, is Qin Yuanshan stupid for making such a low-level mistake in such a big sacrifice? He did not work in Guanglu Temple for only two days, but he made such a mistake in such a scene. Do you think there is something wrong with it?"
"You are in Xuanmen and don't know the depth of officialdom. I understand what you mean. Do you want to say that Qin Yuanshan was tricked and wronged?" Mu Xi said: "The only surname in the world is Qi, and the throne is Sitting alone, there are countless factions fighting among each other. Do you think my emperor's brother-in-law doesn't know that? But factional rivalry is normal, and it will never be possible for a powerful official to dominate Qin Yuanshan, even if you say it is. He was tricked and slandered. But it was his fault that he fell into the trap because of his ability.”
"The emperor will not look at whether he was unjustly accused of this matter. He is in his position to pursue his own affairs. He did not notice this low-level mistake in this position. That is his problem. He is stupid. But the emperor will only look at the results. It is imperial power to only deal with people in this position instead of investigating them before doing anything. Qin Yuanshan can only be said to be an unlucky guy. The officialdom is like this, with strife and uncertainty everywhere. Who has the last laugh?”
As Mu Xi spoke, she saw Qin Liuxi looking at him intently, and couldn't help but be wary: "What are you looking at?"
Qin Liuxi smiled: "I thought that the dignified little overlord would only bully the market, eat, drink and have fun, but I didn't expect that you also have a brain!"
"You little bastard, you're scolding me again, I haven't tolerated you for a long time!" Mu Xi almost jumped up.
Qin Liuxi stretched out a finger, pressed his head down, and said, "Don't do it, I really praise you this time."
Look, you admitted it, you were scolding me before!
Mu Xi snorted and said: "After all, I grew up in the center of imperial power. How can I not know this and not like to use my brain?"
He pretended not to care, but the raised corners of his mouth betrayed him. It felt good to be praised.
Oh, he's a little arrogant!
Qin Liuxi then said: "Since you understand what happened at Qin Yuan Mountain, then why don't you understand the soldiers buried there? Are they the ones who are unlucky because they were just suppressed by the officialdom, as you said? As for your brother-in-law, he only cares about the results. Does he care if it's because of the party struggle? "
Mu Xi was stunned for a moment.
After a long while, he said: "Soldiers who protect our country should not be like this. If there is really an injustice..."
"If there is really an injustice, can you overturn the case and overturn the original verdict? For example, if Qin Yuanshan and the Qin family are wronged, can you catch the person behind the scenes for them and then redress them and restore them to their original positions?" Qin Liuxi said lightly.
Mu Xi suddenly felt something was wrong and said, "I remember that your last name seems to be Qin?"
"Hmm?"
"You said this case, who is the old man Qin Yuanshan to you, or what is your relationship with the Qin family?" Mu Xi stared at her. By the way, where is Qin Yuanshan's hometown?
Quite perceptive.
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "I said, you do it?"
Mu Xi was a little alert and said, "Even if it is redress, at most they can be brought back from the place of exile. If something goes wrong with such a big thing as the high sacrifice, he, as the superior, cannot escape responsibility, and it is impossible for him to be restored to his original position!"
There was one thing he didn't dare to say, that is, he suspected that she was setting a trap for him, but there was no evidence!
Because Qin Yuanshan has a criminal record, who dares to let him stay in this position? If it happens again, the emperor himself is afraid that his ancestors will jump up and scold him for not knowing how to use people.
"You are really smart." Qin Liuxi really praised sincerely this time.
Mu Xi wanted to say something else, but the carriage stopped and Xiao Zhanrui's voice came from outside.
"Master, we have arrived at the door. Please move into the mansion."
I just want to ask, did the children squat in the garbage cans of various districts to pick up bargains yesterday? Hahaha, this joke~
