Chapter 181 Untitled

In fact, Nangong Mu had only been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for a few days, but when he walked out of the Ministry of Justice and looked at the dazzling sunlight, Nangong Mu felt as if he was in another world.

"Brother, be careful when you go back, don't let yourself be tricked again."

Nangong Jing was also very helpless about Nangong Mu's "naivety".

Nangong Mu looked at Nangong Jing's face full of disappointment and chuckled.

"To be tricked once is naive, to be tricked twice is ignorant, and to be tricked three times is stupid. Although I, your eldest brother, am a little lacking in conspiracy and intrigue, at least I learned the art of war from my father, so I'm not completely stupid."

In fact, the main reason why Nangong Mu was plotted against again and again was that he never doubted the people around him.

Even though Zhong Yumei told him about the complicated situation at home, Nangong Mu still felt that after all, they were family and would not put him to death.

It was not until Nangong Dao and Xuanyuan Qing joined forces and wanted to kill Nangong Mu, and then drugged him again and again, that Nangong Mu finally decided to kill Nangong Dao.

That’s right, Nangong Mu actually wanted to kill Nangong Dao.

However, Nangong Mu had just destroyed Nangong Dao's cultivation. If he took action immediately, he would definitely be noticed.

Nangong Mu originally planned to wait for a while, when no one paid attention to Nangong Dao, and then let him die slowly from weakness.

In this way, even if everyone knew that Nangong Dao was dead, they would only think that he could not accept the fact that he had lost his cultivation, so he forced himself to death.

Who knew that before Nangong Mu could make a move, someone else couldn't help but take action first and put the blame on him.

Nangong Jing looked at Nangong Mu, who was clearly smiling but had murderous intent in his eyes. For some reason, he felt mixed emotions.

The elder brother who had always been as gentle as jade and as bright as the moon was finally tainted with the dark side of strategy.

Nangong Jing didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He was happy that Nangong Mu was finally no longer naive, and he would definitely go further in the future.

But it’s also sad that the last pure person in the family has disappeared.

Nangong Mu didn't know if he could sense Nangong Jing's sadness.

So he put away the murderous intent in his eyes, showed a smile exactly the same as before, and reached out to pat Nangong Jing's arm.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. I was too useless before. I won't do that again in the future."

Nangong Jing looked at Nangong Mu's familiar smile and suddenly felt relieved.

Nangong Mu was still the same person when he was facing him, and that was enough.

Nangong Jing discovered that he was actually afraid. He was afraid that the elder brother who loved him wholeheartedly would disappear, and that Nangong Mu would not treat him as well as before without reservation. That was why he was so entangled with Nangong Mu's changes.

Zhuo Yunsheng and others also made great efforts to help Nangong Mu get out this time, so Nangong Mu planned to treat them to a meal to express his gratitude.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the matter will be over after having a meal. Nangong Mu will always remember the kindness of Zhuo Yunsheng and others, and will definitely repay them when he has the chance.

Nangong Mu didn't expect that the first person he saw after returning to the Duke's Mansion would be Nangong Ling.

When Nangong Ling saw him, although the panic quickly dissipated, it was still very obvious, and Nangong Mu's eyes darkened quickly.

"Brother? You're back. Is the second brother's case closed?"

Nangong Ling was a little panicked at this time. Didn't they say that Nangong Mu couldn't get out? Why was he still standing here?

Could it be that Nangong Jing and the others really found some evidence to prove Nangong Mu's innocence?

Nangong Jing and his companions have been looking for evidence for Nangong Mu these days, and Nangong Ling also knows about it.

Not only did he know, he was also very disdainful. He had cleared up all the clues very thoroughly, and Nangong Mu would definitely not be able to get out.

But the appearance of Nangong Mu at this moment was like a slap in the face, hitting Nangong Ling hard.

It was as if it was mocking him, saying that he would never be able to defeat Nangong Mu.

"The person who killed my second brother hasn't been found yet, but there's a witness who proves I have nothing to do with the case, so they released me first."

As Nangong Mu answered, he was thinking in his heart what the relationship was between Nangong Ling and Nangong Dao's death.

Could it be that Nangong Dao was killed by Nangong Ling? But hadn’t their relationship always been good? Why would Nangong Chen kill him?

Also, I haven’t heard that Nangong Ling went to look for Nangong Dao???

The most important thing is, how many people contributed to Nangong Dao's death...

Nangong Ling's fleeting appearance was noticed not only by Nangong Mu, but also by Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao.

Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at each other and understood the message revealed in each other's eyes.

After Nangong Mu got into trouble, Nangong Jing asked Xuanyuan Xingyao to check Nangong Ling's whereabouts to see if he had any connection with Xuanyuan Qing and the others.

But the final conclusion was that Nangong Ling had no contact with Xuanyuan Qing or Xuanyuan Xi.

Therefore, Nangong Jing always thought that he was wrong, but judging from Nangong Ling's look just now, maybe he was not wrong, but there were just some things they had not yet found out.

Let’s not talk about how shocked Nangong Ling was when he saw Nangong Mu returning to the Duke’s Mansion.

For example, when Zhong Yumei saw Nangong Mu return safely, she hugged Nangong Mu and burst into tears, completely losing her usual demeanor as the mistress of the house.

Some people were happy about Nangong Mu's return home, while others hated him.

The one who hated her was naturally Nangong Dao's biological mother, Aunt Li. In Aunt Li's heart, she had already determined that Nangong Mu was the one who killed Nangong Dao.

She originally thought that if she risked everything and sued Nangong Mu, even if Nangong Mu didn't die, he would at least lose his official position and the position of heir.

As a result, just a few days later, Nangong Mu returned safely and nothing happened.

How could Aunt Li accept this? But Aunt Li also knew that she was of low status and had no way to take revenge on Nangong Mu. For a moment, she became a little discouraged.

No one cares what Aunt Li thinks.

Nangong Mu returned safely, even though the charges against him have not been completely cleared, it is time to celebrate.

The few of them spent the entire afternoon eating this meal. If Xuanyuan Xingyao had not had to attend court the next day and Nangong Mu had not had to go to the military headquarters to handle official business, the group might have eaten until midnight.

"Tomorrow in the court, someone will definitely bring up the matter of Big Brother being fired from the Ministry of Justice. Who knows, it might even involve you, so be careful."

Because they drank a little too much, Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao stayed directly in the Duke's Mansion.

Anyway, Nangong Jing's yard is still there, so there is no need to worry about having no place to live.

Lying in bed at night, Nangong Jing felt a little worried and gave Xuanyuan Xingyao some instructions.

"Don't worry, we found evidence and that's why we let Big Brother out. He'll be fine."

Xuanyuan Xingyao was not worried at all about being sued tomorrow.

The reason why Nangong Mu was released was because there was evidence proving that he was not the murderer, and he did not force anyone to be released, so what was there to be afraid of?

Nangong Jing was not too worried about Xuanyuan Xingyao's ability, so now that he said that, he relaxed and went to sleep.

When Nangong Jing got up the next day, Xuanyuan Xingyao had already gone to court.

Nangong Jing originally planned to go directly back to the Duke's Mansion, but when he was about to reach the door, Nangong Jing suddenly remembered his thoughts, so he turned around and went to Zhong Yumei's yard.

Nangong Jing didn't stay in Zhong Yumei's yard for too long, and no one knew what they talked about.

All I know is that when Nangong Jing left, his expression was somewhat relaxed and happy.

However, Zhong Yumei's expression was a little strange, with surprise, satisfaction, and a bit of fear.

As for Xuanyuan Xingyao, when he was in court, someone really talked about Nangong Mu being released, and even involved Xuanyuan Xingyao.

What he meant was that Xuanyuan Xingyao protected Nangong Mu because of Nangong Jing's relationship and got him out of the Ministry of Justice.

However, before Xuanyuan Xingyao could say anything, Lord Qin, the Minister of Justice, spoke first.

Lord Qin had obviously guessed long ago that someone would bring this up in the court today, so he prepared the confessions early and brought them over.

After being sued, Mr. Qin stood up, recounted the incident in detail, and handed over the confessions of the two shopkeepers.

"This only proves that the person who bought the murder weapon was not Nangong Mu's public face. Who knows if Nangong Mu has other people secretly working for him? This does not prove that Nangong Mu is not the murderer."

"It's impossible to prove it completely, but the existing evidence also doesn't prove that Nangong Mu is the murderer, right? Nangong Mu's position has not been removed. He is still the commander of the Bingmasi. There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with there. Why should I keep him locked up?"

Lord Qin was not afraid of the other party's questioning at all and answered sharply.

"Master Qin is making a specious argument. Someone clearly saw Nangong Mu entering and leaving the deceased's room, and the murder weapon was also in his room. Isn't this irrefutable evidence?"

The minister who stood up may have also realized that Nangong Mu still held his position.

So after confronting Lord Qin, he made a direct request to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Nangong Mu is now a suspect and is no longer capable of serving as the commander of the military. Please remove Nangong Mu from his position."

Xuanyuan Hongtai watched the ministers arguing there with cold eyes. Xuanyuan Hongtai had known about Nangong Mu's affairs for a long time.

Xuanyuan Hongtai has also seen those so-called evidences.

Xuanyuan Hongtai also didn't think that Nangong Dao was killed by Nangong Mu. Xuanyuan Hongtai knew very well what kind of person Nangong Tao was.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Hongtai did not think that the successor whom Nangong Tao favored and personally taught would leave so many traces after killing someone.

Even if we take a step back, in Xuanyuan Hongtai's mind, Nangong Mu, who is capable of leading troops in battle, is much more useful than Nangong Dao, who has become a disabled person.

Not to mention that the murderer was not Nangong Mu, even if it was really Nangong Mu, Xuanyuan Hongtai would never execute Nangong Mu just because of such an incident.

The most likely scenario is to find a scapegoat to cover up the matter.

Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with Nangong Mu, which saves Xuanyuan Hongtai a lot of worry. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, muah! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
