MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 878 tied up
After Yu Danbo left, Huo Xi looked at the more than one million taels of silver bills in the box, feeling a little emotional.
"I was unreliable as Mrs. Yu before, but they can still lend a hand to help in times of trouble. We must also remember this friendship."
After speaking, seeing Mu Yan's eyes fixed on the box, he said angrily, "Why do you still accept their banknotes?"
"The play needs to be a complete set. The enemy relaxes his vigilance, so we can take it down in one fell swoop." Eyes narrowed dangerously.
Jun Xiangjie dared to **** his beard, don't blame him for being cruel.
About the fact that the North-South Freight Company was cheated of a large amount of goods, and no one could be found in all over the world, this incident became a topic that ordinary people in Kunming talked about.
Even Duke Qian called Mu Yan to ask him several times. All the female family members of the Mu family, no matter they were sincere or not, came to comfort Huo Xi one after another, and persuaded her to take some medicine so as not to affect the fetus in her womb.
Mr Che often brought little Mu Lin to visit her, and Mu Zhong's wife Niu Shi also came to see her with a full stomach.
Niu's upper body is only three months old, and her belly is not too bulging. This is her first child, so she attaches great importance to it. Supported by a maid every day, she walked carefully, and went to the Cuihuang courtyard to learn scriptures from Huo Xi and Che Shi. The three sisters-in-law got along pretty well.
The rest of the noble ladies in the city sent posts and wanted to come to visit, but Huo Xi all pushed it away with the excuse that it was getting old and he was exhausted.
When they heard that "Mei Weiling" and others could not be found in the North and South Cargo Company, some people gradually relaxed their vigilance.
Jiao Zan was promoted from the commander of the fourth rank to the commander of the third rank after he was transferred from the Maguan Guard Station to the Yunnan Metropolitan Division by Mu Yan. Although his rank is high, he used to hold real power in the guard, but now he is almost out of work. It's called being responsible for the training of recruits, but he is not needed for everything.
If you are not in the local guard, you can't lead troops, and you have no credit to gain. I'm afraid you will end up at the third rank in your life. Jiao Zan was very depressed.
Today, I invited friends to Hualou for a drink. After a few cups of yellow soup, my head became dizzy and I couldn't help complaining.
The friends around him are so scared that they rush to pull him, can the prince scold him casually? Don't even look at where this is, this is Kunming City! Mu Mansion is not far from here.
Just as he was about to persuade him, he saw Shizi's guard standing behind him, which made everyone tremble.
Just as he was about to intercede, the guards showed no expression on their faces, and waved their hands, "Take it away!"
"My lord, my lord, please be accommodating. Lord Jiao just drank too much, and he didn't intend to insult the prince. It's all drunk, so pretend you didn't hear it." Several people took out their banknotes and stuffed them into the hands of several guards.
Several guards didn't pick up, so they dragged Jiao Zan and walked out.
Jiao Zan, half drunk and half awake, waved his hand, "I'm a third-rank commander, who dares to catch me! Me, I'll kill him!"
Being firmly restrained by several guards, Jiao Zan raised his foot and kicked, but his legs were weak and he didn't kick because he was a little drunk, and he cursed unconsciously: "He, Mu Yan, is a prince and grandson, so he can't do it, and others can't say a word?"
The more you scold, the worse it sounds... A few friends who came together wanted to bury their heads under the floor tiles, and someone wanted to go up and cover Jiao Zan's mouth, but before he could move, Jiao Zan was dragged by several guards, stuffed into the carriage and drove away.
"What should I do?" He insulted the prince in public, and was heard by the prince's people, and he was afraid that he would peel off a layer of skin.
Some people didn't care, "It's okay, so many people are watching, the son will at most teach him a lesson, what can he do? Mr. Jiao is the commander of the third rank of the Yunnan capital, how can he not give the slightest bit of face."
"That's right. At most, I will come back after being scolded by the prince, and my flesh will not wrinkle."
"Then, let's drink and drink!" He switched glasses again, completely forgetting about Jiao Zan.
Jiao Zan was stuffed into the carriage, cursing and cursing all the way, when he arrived at the small black room, he was splashed with cold water, and he woke up instantly.
"Mu Yan?"
Kicked by the guard, he hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty."
Seeing Mu Yan sitting on the head coldly, he felt a sudden shock in his heart, "I don't know why the prince asked someone to arrest his subordinates?"
Mu Yan looked at him coldly, "You don't know?"
Jiao Zan shook his head: "This subordinate doesn't know."
Biting the tip of his tongue, he completely woke up from the drunkenness, "Your Majesty, I am a third-rank official of the imperial court after all, and I have made a lot of military exploits on the battlefield. You are not afraid of being criticized by the world for ordering me to be arrested so rudely, Your Majesty?"
Mu Yan sneered: "The world criticizes? Why do the world criticize me?"
Jiao Zan glanced left and right, and the guards who captured him stood on both sides as if to prevent him from escaping. He snorted: "The son secretly acted like a villain and retaliated against me, a third-rank official appointed by the imperial court, shouldn't the world criticize it?"
"Retaliation? What do you need me to retaliate against?"
Jiao Zan was stunned.
What he did to Shizi in Maguan years ago, I don't know if he knows it. If he didn't know, why should he remind himself. But if he knew, he hid it for so long before it happened...
Jiao Zan took a look at Mu Yan, feeling that this person was unpredictable and bottomless, and felt uneasy.
Seeing him staring at her, Mu Yan's eyes kept changing, and she met his gaze, letting the other party scrutinize her generously.
Half a moment later, he said leisurely: "I think you should know who I am staying in the capital, who works for me, and what I do?"
Jiao Zan was taken aback, he is in the capital? The tiger's body shook, he was working beside the emperor! Serve as a fourth-rank official in Jinyiwei! She froze, but quickly regained her composure.
"I heard that the crown prince is on duty with the emperor, but what does that have to do with me? The crown prince will not lynch me just because an official said a few drunken words, right?"
"That's not the case."
Mu Yan fell on the back of the chair, leaning on the back of the chair and staring at Jiao Zan, "Since you know where I am on duty, you must have also heard that Jin Yiwei has 18 kinds of torture. No matter how hard it is, no matter how difficult it is to pry the mouth, it can withstand one or two tricks. I have never seen a mouth that cannot be pried open."
"My son!"
Jiao Zan shouted loudly. "Is it true that your son is going to lynch me?" After speaking, he took a step back, but was resisted by four guards, and Jiao Zan was so angry that he cursed.
"I have never offended the prince, but because I drank a few more glasses tonight and complained a few words, the prince sent someone to tie me up. This prince is lawless and disrespectful!"
"Did I tie you up?" Mu Yan said leisurely.
Jiao Zan looked at himself, he was indeed not tied, but he brought himself here privately, and ordered someone to guard the door to prevent him from leaving, what is this not tied?
"Is this an invitation? My son, I don't want to use force with you, so please let me go."
"Use force?" Mu Yan smiled, "Use force, you still can't beat me."
Wanting to get rid of the embarrassment at Maguan, Jiao Zan secretly hated it. "Is it because I disrespected the prince in Maguan back then, and annoyed me, and then transferred me away from Maguan, and ordered someone to tie me up all night?"
Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Mu Yan twitched at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Mr. Jiao has forgotten what he has done. Should I remind Mr. Jiao?"
