Mu Chan smiled slightly but didn't say anything more. He knew very well that the Second Prince was reminding him not to be hasty in dealing with Wen Jia.

"Your Highness is right, but we won't be investigating the wrong person. At most, we won't be able to investigate all the cases. If we can't remove them all at once, and they bite us back, it will be a loss."

Seeing that the other party understood, the second prince said nothing more.

It was a pity for the eldest and third princes, as they had no idea what these two were talking about.

The eldest prince was still feeling a bit unhappy. What the hell was going on? Wasn't Mu Chan his closest friend? Why was he suddenly playing dumb with his second brother again?

"You two are almost there. Don't think we can't hear you're using tea to talk about something else!"

The third prince nodded to his eldest brother with grievance but determination, expressing his full agreement.

"Mu Chan, you left Bai Qin at home. Now he's involved with Wen Xiuting again. What do you think we should do?"

Mu Chan smiled slightly. The Bai family was the most anxious people right now, and behind Lord Bai was Prime Minister Wen.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The best is yet to come. Prime Minister Wen is too cautious. He has been setting traps for us for so many days. We have been passively taking the beating, which is not a good thing. It is better to lure the snake out of its hole and take the initiative to attack."

A few days later, Mu Lan was suddenly called out by a soldier under him, who said that he had seen many exquisite horses from a horse dealer.

Mu Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he rubbed his hands excitedly and asked, "Are you serious? This is truly a peerless horse. The horses used by horse dealers in recent years have not been very good. How come there is such a good one all of a sudden?"

The people below explained to Mu Lan with a smile: "Young General, you don't know, recently all the nomadic peoples of Jiuguang Kingdom have been conquered by their country. A large number of war horses in the nomadic families have been released, and the horse dealers have more good goods in their hands."

This was true. Mu Lan also knew about this, so he was very happy. He pulled his brothers and hurried to the horse dealer.

It was really surprising to see that there were more than seventy high-quality war horses. If they were deployed, they could form a cavalry.

"This horse is really good. How much is the price? If it's too much, I don't have it. My dad is acting crazy lately and has withheld my allowance!"

General Mu looked down upon his eldest son the most and often deducted his pocket money. Everyone in the imperial city knew about it.

So the servant beside him also gave his advice eagerly.

"Major General, this isn't that difficult. The imperial court recently issued a batch of silver for replacing horseshoes. It's not time to replace them yet, so we can use it first and then make up for it later. It's not a large amount anyway, so it won't be a problem!"

Although Mu Lan was a warrior, he could not do such a thing, so he refused immediately.

"That won't do. You absolutely cannot touch that silver. The silver on the frontline soldiers, even if it's just to replace a horseshoe, not a cent of it can be touched. This is the rule of my Mu family."

However, after saying this, Mu Lan looked eagerly at the war horses next to him. According to the horse dealer, if they could not be sold, they would be sold to restaurants and slaughtered.

When Mu Lan heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He wanted to save these war horses. It was obvious that these were horses that had been on the battlefield. Horses were the most loyal. Watching them being boiled in a pot was more painful than killing him.

"Don't sell your horse to the restaurant yet. I'll go back and think of a solution."

General Mu would definitely not agree to this. It is understandable that his son likes to raise horses.

But if you buy more than 70 horses, plus the original ones, it would be really a tall order.

So he decisively rejected his son. Mu Lan then went to find Mu Chan, but was rejected as well.

Later, the boy went to the palace again, and probably didn't get any money, but not long after, Mu Lan still took out some money to buy a horse.

When the people below saw Mu Lan take out so much silver, a hint of joy flashed across their faces.

"Major General, where did you get this money? You couldn't have stolen it from home."

Mu Lan glared at him when he heard this, and immediately shouted back, "Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm a traitor? I borrowed this money, and I have to pay it back. I'll pay it back as soon as I get my allowance."

Afterwards, Mu Lan happily led the horses to his own paddock. Now there were 140 war horses in his paddock. Mu Lan was very happy and rode on the horses for a thrilling race.

Little did he know that the people around him had already secretly gone back. After some inquiries, he learned that the matter of replacing the horseshoes had been postponed.

"Hahaha, this Mu Lan is really stupid. It seems that the people of the Mu family are just like that. They said that the soldiers on the front line can't touch a penny of their money, but they still use it, don't they?"

Wen Xiuting laughed out loud with joy, and then told his father about it.

"Well, this is the Mu family's own fault. Not only do they have a large amount of warhorse equipment hidden in their home, but they also keep so many warhorses in Jin Mulan's paddock. If this matter is exposed, the Mu family will never be able to escape this accusation."

Prime Minister Wen thought so and did so, and soon an imperial censor openly reported the matter in the hall.

The other party claimed that Mu Lan secretly raised cavalry and had a large number of war horse equipment at home. Those war horses were all horses used by nomadic peoples in battle. This showed that the Mu family had rebellious intentions.

In the court, Mu Lan's eyes widened instantly. How could he be charged with treason for raising two horses?

"You're talking nonsense. I only raise those horses because I can't bear to see them being put into the soup pot. As for the war horse equipment at home, those are all retired from old horses."

However, the other censors would not listen to this. In just a few words, they wanted to convict the Mu family on the spot.

But at this time, Prime Minister Wen felt a little strange. After all this trouble, why was Mu Chan standing there motionless?

Mu Lan was impatient and started arguing with a group of ministers in the court, and even with one or two military generals.

However, no one noticed that the emperor sitting on the throne couldn't help but look cold at the scene in front of him.

It would be fine if the civil officials attacked the Mu family, but why did one or two military generals, who were usually quite close to the Mu family, also jump out?
