Chapter 768: Looting the Mu Family
Mu Fengjiao didn't say anything, her face full of impatience.
The tall and thin man snorted coldly, "Goodbye."
After the four people left, Ling Yun said, "There's a refugee camp ahead. I'll be back soon."
Su Nuan knew that he was going to cause trouble, so she quickly said, "I'll go too."
Ling Yun nodded, his eyes falling on Mu Fengjiao, "Don't go, you'll only cause more trouble."
Mu Feng was so spoiled that she fell backwards, but she also knew that going would only hinder the team. "Okay, tell me about it when you come back."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, wait for me."
The two men did not ride horses, but followed from high in the sky on flying horses.
Not far ahead is a camp with a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Those who cannot enter the city should be stationed outside the city temporarily and are trying to find a way to enter the city.
As for the poor, most of them are just stopping here temporarily.
When Su Nuan saw Ling Yun shoot the tall and thin man to death with a bow and arrow, the other two people immediately panicked.
Liu Hong jumped out of the car and rushed into a rich man's tent. She reacted very quickly.
For some reason, Ling Yun did not pursue them, let the other two go, and did not continue to chase Liu Hong.
Su Nuan saw Ling Yun gesturing to return the favor, so she followed Ling Yun back to the carriage.
Mu Fengjiao's face was still gloomy. She looked at the two of them in astonishment and asked, "So soon?"
Su Nuan nodded and sat down beside her, "I just killed one person."
Mu Fengjiao looked at Ling Yun, "Are you that stupid? You only killed one person?"
Ling Yun sat down next to Su Nuan and said with a smile, "One is enough. The other two dare not say anything more."
"Liu Hong's identity has not yet been clarified, so let's spare her life for now."
Su Nuan asked, "Will your actions in meeting the capital again be hindered by them?"
Ling Yun shook his head and said lightly: "No, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Su Nuan nodded without saying anything more. Ling Yun must have his own plan, so there was no need for her to say anything more.
The three of them waited until after dark before they began to move forward. They moved slowly through the camp without alerting many people.
When they arrived at the city, Su Nuan got off the carriage and put away the horses.
The nine of them went around the city gate and came to the side.
Ling Yun lifted a few floor tiles, revealing a secret passage.
He said, "The five of you will stay behind and enter through the city gate tomorrow."
"Yes!" the five people answered respectfully.
Su Nuan, Mu Fengjiao and Sun Sanhei followed Ling Yun down the tunnel, passed directly through the city wall, and entered the courtyard of an ordinary family.
Ling Yun said, "This is the house of my subordinates. If you have nowhere to go after you finish your work, you can stay here for the night."
Su Nuan asked, "Where are you going?"
Ling Yun smiled and replied, "Of course I'm going to find someone to discuss how to deal with Su Zhen."
Su Nuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait until the city gate opens tomorrow before returning to the Su Mansion."
After a pause, she asked again: "Is Su Liren an official or a civilian now?"
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows and replied, "He is neither an official nor a commoner now. After all, he is Su Zhen's father."
"The capital is now under the control of Su Zhen. If they can fight each other, you won't have to do anything."
Su Nuan nodded in agreement and said with a sigh, "If I couldn't just do it, would I have come all the way here?"
Back then, it took them nearly half a year to reach the north. Although it only took a month this time, the boredom and bumps on the road made people irritated.
Ling Yun smiled slightly, "I'm leaving first. If you need me for something, you can find me at Ruanxianglou."
Su Nuan glanced at Ling Yun and said, "Ruanxianglou?" It didn't sound like a good place.
Ling Yun smiled awkwardly, "This is for you, as it's used to gather intelligence."
After saying that, he stuffed a token into Su Nuan's hand and quickly disappeared into the night.
Su Nuan took the token and looked at it. It was oval in shape, made of the finest mutton-fat white jade, with the words "Wen Yu" written on the front.
"Soft jade and warm fragrance?"
Mu Fengjiao asked in confusion, "What do you mean by soft jade and warm fragrance?"
Su Nuan put away the token and said with a smile: "Nothing, let's go and rob your house first."
Mu Fengjiao's eyes flashed with excitement, "Let's go."
The two of them sneaked around the alleys in the city, and Su Nuan was a little surprised when they found the Mu family.
"The Mu family was able to build a large courtyard with three entrances, complete with pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions. Was all this money given by Ling Cang?"
"Isn't Ling Cang always fighting? Even if his salary was ten times higher, it wouldn't be enough, right?"
Mu Fengjiao laughed and said, "Do you think people who fight in wars are poor?"
Su Nuan's eyes were filled with confusion. Wasn't it really that poor? It was said that if the imperial court withheld military pay, the soldiers would starve to death.
Mu Fengjiao pulled Su Nuan off the wall and explained, "They only send some big pieces of spoils back to the capital."
"They keep small things like gold, silver, and jewelry privately. Don't think they are poor; they are actually very rich."
"Well... in my dreams, I received gifts several times, boxes and boxes of jewelry."
Su Nuan, "..." Ling Cang, you big bastard.
Seeing Su Nuan's bad face, Mu Fengjiao asked nervously, "Are you angry?"
Su Nuan nodded, not hiding her anger. "Back then, the Marquis' Mansion relied on my mother-in-law... no, on your future mother-in-law's dowry to survive. He actually had money but didn't support my grandmother and my own mother, and gave the money to unworthy people."
Mu Fengjiao also nodded and angrily scolded: "That's right, I have to talk to him about this when I get back."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow, "Okay, go and tell him, it would be best if you can beat him up."
"Okay, leave it to me." Mu Fengjiao agreed.
The two men groped their way through the buildings in the mansion, someone fainted, and then started scratching.
Not only the warehouse, but even the servants' rooms were not spared.
If the two of them hadn't disliked other people's used clothes, they would have run around naked tomorrow.
After stripping the Mu family of their wealth, the two men finally climbed over the wall and left in satisfaction.
Sun Sanhei couldn't help, but seeing them happy made him happy too.
The three of them returned to the courtyard and began to sort out various letters and documents.
Su Nuan held a letter and said, "The Mu family and Su Zhen have joined forces."
Mu Fengjiao put down the banknote in her hand and asked, "Did Su Zhen write a letter to them?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "This is a letter from the Mu family to Su Zhen. It probably hasn't been sent out yet."
Mu Fengjiao took the letter suspiciously and read it, then she slammed the letter on the table angrily.
"How shameless! They actually want to cooperate with Su Zhen to kill innocent people."
Su Nuan nodded and said, "Ask, it seems that Su Zhen will take action to seize the throne soon."
"When she takes action, the Mu family will disguise themselves as imperial guards and start killing the people, so that the people will think it is the emperor who is killing them."
Although Su Nuan didn't like the emperor and even hated him very much, this kind of blaming was even more disgusting.
Mu Fengjiao picked up the letter and read it again, then asked, "Now that we have this letter, do you think Su Zhen will know that the Mu family has agreed to her?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, if the letter is gone, won't they write a new one?"
"If we can't stop it, then we'll try somewhere else."
Mu Fengjiao immediately asked with a smile, "What do you think we should do?"
