[When Kan Chaoyan was 20 years old, he was scared to the point of peeing his pants while on a mission, haha. ]
Deng Xing looked at them and stared at Kan Chaoyan with wide eyes: "Is this true? Were you really scared to the point of peeing your pants?"
They couldn't imagine the scene, nor could they believe that someone who was always calm and steady would be so cowardly.
Kan Chaoyan gritted his teeth and said, "It's fake."
He would never admit that he had ever had such a shameful experience.
"It can't be fake. Her heart can't tell lies."
Deng Xingchao laughed out loud: "Haha, Kan Chaoyan, you can be so cowardly sometimes. I always thought you were very capable and a calm person. Haha, you were so scared that you peed your pants?"
Others bit their lower lips desperately for fear of being beaten if they laughed out loud.
Kan Chaoyan stared at Deng Xingchao with a sinister look in his eyes: "If you laugh again, I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow."
Deng Xingchao knew he was serious and stepped back quickly: "I didn't want to laugh, but I couldn't help it."
They have worked together for so many years, and he has always been suppressed by Kan Chaoyan, but now he has finally got his own place back.
[Haha, Comrade Lao Kan wet his pants. Shame on you for being such an adult and still wetting your pants. —]
Kan Chaoyan's face suddenly turned dark.
He really shot himself in the foot.
Deng Xingchao spread his hands and said, "I'm not laughing at you this time. If you want to beat someone up, beat Mu Nanjin."
Kan Chaoyan: "..."
[Uh... the eldest princess's son has raped a commoner again... he is too lawless, let's go and kill him together. ]
Mu Nanjin stood up and rushed out.
Kan Chaoyan quickly grabbed her and said, "Where are you going, Mu girl?"
"Let's go catch the eldest princess's son."
Kan Chaoyan lied to her, "I have sent people to catch him, so just stay here."
"oh."
Mu Nanjin returned to his seat.
[The prefect of Wuzhou embezzled half of the money allocated by the court. The dam will definitely not be repaired this year. The people will suffer again. Damn it, I will go to Wuzhou and chop him up right now.]
She hadn't even warmed up in her chair when she stood up excitedly.
Kan Chaoyan quickly asked: "Where are you going now?"
"Let's go and kill the prefect of Wuzhou."
"It has been chopped off. It has been chopped off."
"oh."
Mu Nanjin sat back in his chair and suddenly stood up again.
Kan Chaoyan rubbed his aching brain point: "What are you doing again?"
【Hahaha--】
Kan Chaoyan and Deng Xingchao looked at each other.
What is she laughing at? [Hahaha——]
The Jinyiwei who were sitting in the lobby of the front building drinking stopped when they heard the laughter.
Captain Pan, who was sitting next to Captain Liu, took a sip of wine and said, "How did she manage to spread her thoughts so far?"
"She's not far enough. She can go even further." Captain Liu said unhappily, "Maybe it can spread all over the capital."
Chen Liangli was right when he said he had a bad mouth, and Mu Nanjin's thoughts really spread throughout the capital.
When the officials who were having dinner in their own house heard Mu Nanjin's voice, they jumped up in fright and looked around vigilantly.
At the Zuo Xiang Mansion, Zuo Xiang walked to the entrance of the hall and looked again and again, cursing angrily: "Damn it, why is she so haunting? I can hear her voice when I get home. Is she nearby?"
The wife of the Left Prime Minister asked curiously, "Whose voice did you say you heard?"
"nothing."
The left prime minister returned to his seat, and then his wife twisted his ears in her hands: "Will you tell me? If you don't, don't even think about sleeping tonight."
"Oh, it's really nothing, and I really can't tell you. This is about our family's lives, I can't tell you."
Zuo Xiang was in so much pain that tears came out.
When the wife of the left prime minister heard that the lives of her family were at stake, she immediately let go of his hand and looked at him doubtfully: "Really?"
"How dare I lie to you?" said the left prime minister with a bitter face.
The wife of the Left Prime Minister nodded: "I don't think you would dare."
The left prime minister rubbed his aching ear, cursing Mu Nanjin in his heart.
Then, he heard...
[The old emperor favored the imperial concubine last night, and it took less than half a cup of tea. Haha, old emperor, your kidneys are not good, hurry up and ask the imperial physician to treat you. If you continue like this, you will not be able to be strong in less than half a year. ]
Officials in the capital: "..."
The emperor, who was still reviewing memorials, suddenly had a tremor in his hand and drew a large black line on the memorial, thus ruining it.
"Mu, Nan, Jin——"
The emperor slammed the table angrily and stood up: "Mu Nanjin, where is he?"
The chief eunuch said quickly, "Your Majesty, Guard Mu did not enter the palace."
"She didn't enter the palace? If she didn't enter the palace, how could I hear it..."
He stopped here, the emperor was almost angry to death.
He took a deep breath and walked out of the hall, then asked, "Master Tianyuan, do you know where Mu Nanjin is?"
Tian Yuan's faint voice came from the rooftop: "She is eating in Xiaoqing Tower in the inner city."
"Inner City?" The emperor couldn't believe it. "The Inner City is so far away from the Imperial City, and I can hear her voice!?"
Tian Yuan was also curious about how the voice could be heard so far away.
Soon, the Queen Mother sent her maidservant to bring a bowl of lotus seed and mutton bone soup to the Emperor.
The emperor looked at the steaming tonic soup and his face suddenly turned black.
At this time, Xiao Qinglou.
Kan Chaoyan and Deng Xingchao almost knelt down before Mu Nanjin.
Kan Chaoyan was about to cry: "Ancestor Mu, can you please stop having these random thoughts? I beg you."
Deng Xingchao said angrily, "It was all your bad idea. You didn't get to the bottom of the matter, but you exposed the emperor's private secrets. Fortunately, the emperor is not here, otherwise we would all be in trouble."
Tang Jingrui frowned: "If I don't press her fainting point, she won't have any random thoughts."
“Good idea.”
Kan Chaoyan points to the Mu Nan Jinhun cave.
Mu Nanjin looked up at Kan Chaoyan and said, "Comrade Kan, what are you doing?"
Kan Chaoyan: "...pressing your acupoints."
"Acupuncture?" Mu Nanjin's eyes flashed with doubt: "Are you going to press my acupuncture points?"
"Um."
"This kind of kung fu is useless to me."
Kan Chaoyan: “…”
Deng Xingchao raised his hand and chopped at the back of Mu Nanjin's neck.
Mu Nanjin turned to look at him: "Comrade Lao Deng, what are you doing again?"
Deng Xingchao made up an excuse: "You are drunk, I want to give you a massage to sober you up."
Kan Chaoyan sneered. Who would believe such a lame excuse?
Unexpectedly, the drunk Mu Nanjin was particularly easy to deceive. She nodded and said, "Your strength is too weak, not even enough to tickle me."
Deng Xingchao: “…”
【Hehe, the assassin is coming. 】
Kan Chaoyan and the others' expressions changed, and they each prepared for an ambush.
When the assassin sneaked into the backyard of Xiaoqing Tower, he heard someone shouting loudly: "Master Mu, the food you requested is here."
The assassin leader lowered his voice and said, "That's her."
They waited for the waiter to deliver the dishes and then sneaked over quietly. They kicked the door open and saw that the room was full of Jinyiwei above the level of Qianhu.
The assassins were stunned.
Suddenly, a big knife stabbed towards them, hitting the assassin standing in front of them in the vital point.
The other party was killed on the spot.
"Oh no, there is an ambush, let's retreat." The other assassins were shocked and quickly turned around and ran with the dead assassin.
Little did they know that there were more Jinyiwei waiting for them in the yard. At a glance, there were at least three hundred people. Whether in the yard or on the rooftop, they were all Jinyiwei.
If they had not confirmed before coming here that this was Xiaoqing Tower, they would have thought they had broken into the Duwei Mansion.
"Doesn't Mu Nanjin only have meals with people from the Ministry of Rites? Why are there so many Jinyiwei?" one of the assassins said.
"Mu Nanjin should have invited the Jinyiwei to dinner. I will lead the way and you can take the opportunity to escape."
The assassin leader raised his sword and rushed towards the Jinyiwei in front of him.
Kan Chaoyan shouted, "You are no match for him, get out of the way."
The Jinyiwei immediately retreated to the sides.
The assassin leader and other assassins immediately fled from Xiaoqing Tower.
Before leaving, they took another look at the sign on the gate, and only after confirming that it was Xiao Qinglou did they speed away.
In the backyard of Xiaoqing Tower, Deng Xingchao asked, "Aren't you going to chase me?"
Kan Chaoyan put away his knife: "We already know their identities, so why bother chasing them and fighting to the death? Besides, now is not the time to get to the bottom of it and turn against them."
Deng Xingchao turned around and said to everyone, "Okay, let's continue eating and drinking."
【Ha ha--】
Kan Chaoyan and Deng Xingchao's faces changed again and they immediately rushed back into the room.
"Wooden girl..."
Mu Nanjin, who was reading gossip, was interrupted by them.
"You've almost finished eating, let's take you home."
Mu Nanjin sat in the chair and thought for a long time before saying, "I think I only drank wine and didn't eat any food."
"You've eaten it, and you've eaten a lot. If you don't believe me, just ask Tang Jingrui. He won't lie to you."
Mu Nanjin looked at Tang Jingrui, who nodded reluctantly.
"Hearing what you said, my stomach seems to be quite bloated."
Tang Jingrui: “…”
How can I not feel bloated after drinking so much alcohol?
"Come on, we'll take you back."
As if they were afraid that she would go back on her word, Kan Chaoyan and Deng Xingchao each held one of her arms and quickly left Xiaoqing Tower and returned to the Mu family.
Mu Nanjin fell asleep peacefully amid the bumpy ride on horseback, and they only breathed a sigh of relief after helping her back to the room.
After leaving the Mu family, Kan Chaoyan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I will never force her to drink again."
Deng Xingchao asked: "Do you think she will think about what happened tonight when she wakes up tomorrow morning and find that we can hear her inner thoughts?"
"She usually has very simple thoughts and never likes to think too deeply about a thing. After she wakes up, she probably won't think about what happened tonight. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to force her to drink so boldly."
"I feel relieved when you say that. Let's go back and continue drinking."
Mu Nanjin slept until the morning. After she got up, she not only didn’t feel dizzy, but also felt very energetic. That’s right—
She had blackouts.
The last thing I remember is that Captain Liu brought people to toast me, and I have no recollection of what happened after that.
"Nothing should have happened afterwards, right?"
"How did I get home?"
"Why don't I have any impression of this?"
"Oh, drinking is really a hindrance."
Mu Nanjin rode to Duwei Mansion after breakfast.
As soon as she arrived at the door, the Jinyiwei guarding the gate told her that all the Jinyiwei who had gone to Xiaoqing Tower to drink last night had been called to the palace, and she also wanted to go to the palace.
Mu Nanjin came to the large square outside the Taijin Hall of the Imperial Palace and saw the Jinyiwei and officials from the Ministry of Rites who were punished to stand in the square.
They were lined up in five neat rows, very eye-catching, and the eunuchs and palace maids passing by couldn't help but take a few glances at them.
Mu Nanjin walked up to them and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
Captain Liu sneered: "The imperial eunuch went to the emperor and complained that we went to Xiaoqinglou to eat together."
"Is the Imperial Envoy so well-informed?"
Everyone: “…”
Thousands of them were dressed in official uniforms and riding horses together. It was hard for such an eye-catching team not to be heard by the imperial envoy.
The most depressing thing was that they were clearly just going there to eat, but the imperial eunuch accused them of visiting a prostitute. That was really harsh.
Mu Nanjin was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with us going to Xiaoqinglou for dinner?"
Captain Liu said, "There is no problem with the meal. The problem is Xiaoqinglou. In everyone's mind, it is a brothel. We are undoubtedly bringing discredit to the court by wearing official uniforms to a brothel."
"If I don't wear the official uniform, I won't be smeared?"
Captain Liu remained silent, which was considered as his agreement with her.
[No wonder the imperial eunuchs always went home to change into casual clothes before going to the brothels to visit prostitutes, and even redeemed the prostitutes and kept them as concubines.]
[Well, I've learned that. I'll treat you to a meal next time and let everyone go home and change into regular clothes before going.]
Jinyiwei and officials from the Ministry of Rites: "..."
After hearing Mu Nanjin's thoughts, the imperial envoys who were reporting to the emperor in the Taijin Palace turned pale and red, and they were too embarrassed to continue talking to the emperor.
The other officials looked at the censor and others with a look of anticipation.
You always knew how to report us before, now it's your turn.
[The Imperial Censor can file a complaint, so why can't we, the Imperial Guards, file a complaint? ]
[The duty of our Jinyiwei in the Left Court is to collect intelligence and secretly monitor the officials. I don't believe that Jinyiwei doesn't know the situation of the censors.]
[By the way, there is a censor named Pu Mingzhe who accepted a bribe of 20,000 taels of silver to cover up the embezzlement of money for dike repair by the prefect of Wuzhou. We can tell the emperor about this. Humph, let's see if they dare to report us again in the future. We must let them know that we, the Jinyiwei, are not easy to mess with.]
Jinyiwei and officials from the Ministry of Rites: "..."
There's no need to tell tales, the emperor already knows.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor’s furious voice was heard from the Taijin Palace.
"Left Imperial Envoy, Right Imperial Envoy, you two should realize your mistakes."
With a thud, the two imperial envoys knelt down hurriedly.
If they had known that Mu Nanjin would sue them, they would not have reported the Jinyiwei today.
The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he paced back and forth in front of the throne: "You don't even know that your own people have committed crimes, how can I expect you to supervise other officials? How dare you report other people's crimes to me?"
The two imperial envoys dared not utter a word.
"I have decided to dismiss you from your posts but retain your position. You have one month to investigate this matter thoroughly before I decide whether you will stay or go."
"yes."
The two imperial envoys quickly returned to their original positions to avoid angering the emperor again.
Since the other officials had nothing more to report, the chief eunuch called for the court to be adjourned.
Mu Nanjin was very depressed when he saw that the emperor went straight back to his study after leaving Taijin Palace.
[Why did the old emperor leave? Doesn't he remember that we were still standing here? Luckily I had breakfast before coming here so I didn't get hungry. ]
Everyone: “…”
Just as the officials walked out of the Taijin Palace, Mu Nanjin suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching them from behind.
