Chapter 179: Untitled
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing went to the Duke's Mansion together.
Because Nangong Dao had left a remains, he was not buried and his body was even transported to the Ministry of Justice.
Therefore, the white sails that should have been removed are still there in the Duke's Mansion.
Nangong Jing stood at the door of the Duke's Mansion, looking at Bai Fan in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
One of the people who killed him in his previous life finally died, but unfortunately it was not done by him himself.
Nangong Jing has never forgotten the hatred of his previous life since he came back, but he seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding again.
Over the years, Nangong Jing has been looking for someone to keep an eye on the three Nangong Dao brothers, hoping to catch them doing anything illegal so that he can get rid of them.
But even Nangong Dao has been very cautious in recent years. Even if he has made some small moves, it is not a capital crime.
Therefore, Nangong Jing's desire for revenge was gradually put on hold.
But this time, Nangong Dao was killed, and Nangong Jing suddenly realized why he had to follow the right path.
The methods they used to kill themselves in their previous lives were not something that could be seen by others.
There were also those concubines who conspired to kill his mother. Back then, Nangong Tao only punished them for the sake of the children, and did not take their lives.
After Nangong Jing learned about his biological mother's revenge, he did not do anything because he was worried about Nangong Tao.
Actually, he was unfilial. He knew who his enemy was, but he never took revenge.
"Xiao Jing, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw Nangong Jing staring at the white sail at the gate and thought there was something wrong with the white sail.
After hearing Xuanyuan Xingyao's voice, Nangong Jing came back to his senses and shook his head slightly.
"There's nothing wrong with Bai Fan. The problem is me. I'm too unfilial. I've been so worried over the years and allowed the enemies who killed my mother to live for so many more years."
Nangong Jing's biological mother was too favored and was conspired by several concubines to cause her to die of hemorrhage. Xuanyuan Xingyao also knew about this.
"Whatever you want to do, I will support you."
Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that Nangong Jing must have made a decision when he said this suddenly.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing smiled at Xuanyuan Xingyao, then his eyes changed sharply and he strode into the Duke's Mansion.
The most important thing now is Nangong Mu’s innocence, and wait until Nangong Mu’s innocence is restored.
Some things should be resolved, and some people don't need to continue living.
"Mother, I went to see my eldest brother. He said that on the night my second brother died, someone sent a message for my second brother, asking my eldest brother to go see him. That person must have done it on purpose. If we find that person, maybe we can get some information out of him."
Zhong Yumei looked much more haggard because Nangong Mu was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. If she had not had some cultivation and was thinking about rescuing Nangong Mu, she would have collapsed long ago.
"Did Mu'er say which servant it was?"
When Zhong Yumei heard this, she immediately sat up and asked anxiously.
"Big brother only said it was from the front yard. He didn't underestimate the other person's face. We can only check one by one. When we find almost everyone, I will bring the person to the Ministry of Justice for Big brother to make the final confirmation."
Nangong Jing said helplessly and powerlessly, Nangong Mu...
Zhong Yumei didn't know what to say at this time. Nangong Mu was indeed too weak in strategy.
"I protected Mu'er too well, but as long as there is a clue, it's fine."
"Also, anyone who has entered and exited Big Brother's room in the past few days needs to be thoroughly investigated. I asked Big Brother, and he said that the magic device is not his."
Nangong Jing glanced at Zhong Yumei and said in a deep voice.
Zhong Yumei understood Nangong Jing's meaning, and finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart.
In fact, after Nangong Mu was arrested, Zhong Yumei was a little worried, worried that Nangong Dao was really done by Nangong Mu. Now she can finally rest assured.
"Big Brother just sent someone to tell us that the Wu and Yun families are secretly working together to take over the position of commander of the Five Cities Military Command."
At night, Xuanyuan Xingyao walked into the room and said to Nangong Jing who was already in bed and ready to rest.
Nangong Jing was originally resting with his eyes closed, but he immediately opened his eyes upon hearing this.
"My eldest brother hasn't been dismissed yet, right? Are they too impatient, or have they decided that my eldest brother can no longer keep his position???"
"Either they've made all the necessary preparations, or they have a backup plan. However, judging by their impatience, it's clear that they are responsible for Nangong Dao's death."
"What is this, recycling?"
Nangong Jing taunted.
"It's just that being fully prepared isn't a big deal. At worst, I can just give up my position and rescue the people first. I'm just afraid they have a plan and won't stop until they've completely eliminated my eldest brother."
After Nangong Jing calmed down a little, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"In that case, let's find them something to do so they can't keep staring at us."
Xuanyuan Xingyao sneered and said.
Nangong Jing didn't quite understand what Xuanyuan Xingyao meant and looked at him in confusion.
"There's only one position for the commander of the military, but both families want it."
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing meaningfully.
After meeting Xuanyuan Xingyao's gaze, Nangong Jing carefully pondered his words and finally reacted.
"You mean to sow discord? Let them fight each other???"
Xuanyuan Xingyao nodded lightly and replied.
"The Wu and Yun families appear to be united because of the relationship between Second Brother and Sixth Brother, but in reality, they are at odds."
Although the Wu family and the Yun family both stood behind Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi, the relationship between the two families was not close.
It's not surprising. After all, the Wu family and the Yun family both have military backgrounds, and many of their interests overlap. If I give it to you, I will have nothing.
Just like the position of commander of the Five Cities Military Department, there is only one, but both the Yun family and the Wu family want it.
Whoever it is given to, the other family will definitely feel unhappy.
The two families seem to be in harmony now, only because Xuanyuan Qing has not yet taken office.
Once Xuanyuan Qing comes to power, the war between the two families will surely break out.
What Xuanyuan Xingyao has to do now is to start a fight between the two families in advance.
Even if they don't completely fall out, there's no way they can sit down peacefully.
Only in this way can the two families temporarily have no time to keep an eye on them.
"What should we do?"
Nangong Jing asked curiously.
"It's very simple. Just reveal some plausible news."
Xuanyuan Xingyao said confidently.
Nangong Jing looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao speechlessly. What was the difference between saying it and not saying it?
"You know I'm clueless about this, so tell me more."
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't get angry even though he rolled his eyes, and smiled dotingly at Nangong Jing.
"Spread some news to the Wu family, let them think that Xuanyuan Qing wants to give the position of commander to the Yun family, and the Yun family will do the same."
Just a few words made Nangong Jing's eyes light up instantly.
It would be great if both families thought Xuanyuan Qing supported the other family more. This would not only make the Wu and Yun families dissatisfied, but it could even cause some trouble for Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi.
"Aren't you worried that they'll confront Xuanyuan Qing? Wouldn't that expose everything?"
"What are you afraid of? There's only one position. If they really go to confront Xuanyuan Qing, it will be even more interesting. I also want to know whether Xuanyuan Qing will choose the Wu family or the Yun family."
One is his biological mother's family, and the other is his adoptive mother's family. Xuanyuan Xingyao also wants to know whether Xuanyuan Qing will choose the Wu family or the Yun family.
Nangong Jing imagined the scene in his mind and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Choosing the Wu family means offending the Yun family, and choosing the Yun family means offending the Wu family. In any case, no matter which family you choose, you will not end up in good shape.
"Okay, let's do as you say."
Nangong Jing responded heavily.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was really fast. Before they found the person who was supposed to deliver the message to Nangong Mu, the news that the current heads of the Wu and Yun families took turns looking for Xuanyuan Qing came back first.
It is said that the current heads of the Wu and Yun families looked unhappy when they left Xuanyuan Qing's place, and it was obvious that they did not get the answers they wanted.
It is also said that after the two returned, they secretly began to cause trouble for each other and increased their efforts to bribe officials from the Ministry of Personnel in an attempt to seize the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Military Affairs Department.
They were still too anxious. Nangong Mu had not been convicted yet, but they were already anxiously thinking about Nangong Mu's position.
The hurried movements of the two families made everyone realize that something was fishy.
In the court, although the ministers did not say it explicitly, when the people of Xuanyuan Qing's lineage exerted pressure overtly and covertly in an attempt to completely convict Nangong Mu, no one came forward to help.
On the contrary, when Xuanyuan Leng came forward and said that there was no accurate evidence to prove that Nangong Mu was the murderer, many ministers echoed his opinion.
You mean the murder weapon? If you were the murderer, would you be so stupid as to leave the murder weapon in the room? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone deliberately placed the murder weapon in Nangong Mu's room.
Therefore, unless more clear evidence can be found, it is impossible to convict Nangong Mu based on this magic device alone.
Xuanyuan Qing had no way to convict Nangong Mu, and Xuanyuan Leng had no way to completely clear Nangong Mu of the guilt, so the two sides were stuck there.
"Hasn't the messenger been found yet?"
Although there were many servants in charge of the front yard, there were only about twenty or thirty of them. Nangong Jing originally thought that the servant who delivered the message to Nangong Mu would be found within a day at most.
As a result, it was almost three days and there was no good news from Zhong Yumei. Finally, Nangong Jing couldn't help but come to her again.
Zhong Yumei was more anxious than anyone else, but she just couldn't find it. What could she do?
After being questioned by Nangong Jing, Zhong Yumei couldn't help but retort.
"I also want to find it quickly, but on the day Nangong Dao died, all the servants in the front yard were at their posts, and no one went to help pass on the message."
"How is this possible? Big brother said he was a servant from the front yard???"
Nangong Jing frowned slightly and said in disbelief.
"Either Mu'er remembered it wrongly, or that servant misled Mu'er."
Zhong Yumei said with a gloomy face.
"Have you found out who has been in and out of Big Brother's room recently?"
Nangong Jing didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only let go of the servant who delivered the message.
See if you can find out who stole the magic device first. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading.
