Volume III Kunlun King Chapter 171 Concealment
Mu Wushuang curled his lips and said, "Is it different from a foolish lord?" "It's not that the priest did nothing, but later Zhang Hong's party was influential, and the priest could only endure and avoid making things happen. Although Zhang Hong is dead, the rioters are still deeply rooted, and eradicating them is not a matter of one night. Therefore, the priest and the Taiwei Peng dare not take this big mistake. Moreover, the emperor has his own considerations, which cannot be understood by you at your age." Mi Jianxun patiently explained to Mu Wushuang.
Liu Manmang sighed and continued with a little regret: "That Zhang Hong and Senior Brother Cui are good friends. They were originally a heroic talent of ancient Taoism. They had the hope of becoming a famous minister of a generation, but in the end they were still obsessed with profit and almost overwhelmed the world..." Mi Jianxun waved his hand and interrupted Liu Manmang: "Liu Taisui, no. Although Zhang Hong is debauchery, he has never made things difficult for Lord Lin's old subordinates."
Liu Manmang looked at Mi Jianxun and shook his head: "My Lord Mi, what do you mean?" Mi Jianxun smiled bitterly and raised his hands behind his back: "Now, looking back, Zhang Hong not only did not make things difficult for Master Lin's fellow friends, but even saved them in different ways... Taiwei Peng said that if Zhang Hong had not been suppressing all kinds of villains in the court, the temple would have been full of demons! Unfortunately, Zhang Hong died just as he wanted to turn back to justice."
Liu Manmang frowned and thought for a while and said, "It's right to say that. Zhang Hong is better than a group of people doing evil." Bai Yanyan snorted and curled her lips: "The evil people are evil people after all, and it's the same for turning back into justice! Why should Lord Mi excuse the evil people?" Mi Jianxun looked at Bai Yanyan and smiled: "Teacher Bai, it's not me who excused Zhang Hong, but this dispute over the government and the good and evil in the eyes of the people are sometimes in harmony with each other - for example, Mr. Qian Cenming, who was bloody and slaughtered the traitors for Lord Lin, is certainly very pleased. But what was brought about was the treacherous ministers who gained power and the loyal ministers were in danger. The prime minister's family will not be rehabilitated for twenty years! Zhang Hong covered the sky with his hands to disrupt the court, but also suppressed the treacherous and kept a large number of honest officials and loyal ministers! Think about it carefully, can you simply say who is right and who is wrong?"
Bai Yanyan nodded with confusion: "This, this... Although I am not as clear as the master, I understand a little bit..." Liu Manmang couldn't help but ask, "But Lord Mi, I heard that Lord Lin Zhiheng's second lady is still wandering among the people. Doesn't the emperor want to find her?" Mi Jianxun sighed softly, and then smiled bitterly: "This is a blessing in disgrace... Although the late emperor was incompetent, he also told the current emperor before his death that he would give him two queens in the death row of Hejian Mansion... So since the day he ascended the throne, he has been secretly looking for the whereabouts of the second lady of the Lin family."
Mu Wushuang, Zhang Tingmu and Bai Yanyan both knew that the second lady was Lin Miao. The three of them listened to Mi Jianxun with complicated expressions and continued: "...If Miss Lin Shimiao was still alive, she would have just turned 18 this year. I heard that she looks as beautiful as Miss Shiyao... According to the priest's speculation, she might have already hidden her name-"
Mi Jianxun paused, then looked at Mu Wushuang and the other two and shook their heads: "But, with Miss Shimiao's virtuous and beautiful appearance, even if she gets married, no matter how big or small, she will never be able to marry into a deserted village or ridge, right? She will definitely be favored by a wealthy family... So the imperial court issued an imperial order five years ago that a woman must go to the government to test her bare-handedly before getting married, just to find Miss Lin Shimiao through the gentleman bamboo on her back - Alas, I hope that after finding her, I can give the Prime Minister a statement to the spirit of heaven."
After saying that, Mi Jianxun slowly knelt on the ground and respectfully performed the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows towards Hejian Mansion. After Mu Wushuang and others also kowtowed, Bai Yanyan said excitedly: "Mr. Mi, that second..." Mu Wushuang immediately interrupted Bai Yanyan loudly: "Miss Bai, come on, I have something to tell you!"
Bai Yanyan waved her hand at Mu Wushuang, and still said to herself: "Actually Lin Er...ah! Why are you pulling me?" Mu Wushuang didn't wait for Bai Yanyan to tell Lin Miao about it, and dragged her to the outside of the military camp and shouted in a low voice: "Do you want to cheat the rats?!" Bai Yanyan glared at Mu Wushuang with dissatisfaction: "Hasn't the emperor been looking for him all the time? Why did he call him cheating?!"
At this time, Zhang Tingmu also walked out of the military camp to block Bai Yanyan and explained to her in a low voice: "You really don't understand General Mi's words? Mouse will definitely be the target of public criticism when it appears! Besides, Mouse doesn't want others to know his life experience, otherwise how many people he will have to kill to avenge his family? Mouse doesn't want to commit more murder, so let the emperor continue to secretly find the second lady who doesn't exist."
Bai Yanyan hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered, "Ah! You two are right! I know, I know..." Mi Jianxun came to the back of the three of them with confusion and asked, "What are you hiding from me and muttering? I have to remind you, Yin Feng, Miss Gu Xin has a bad temper. If she knew that you and Miss Bai were flirting with each other, you would definitely not be able to take care of it!"
Mu Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then he asked overjoyedly: "Mr. Mi, do you actually know the relationship between my senior brother and Miss Gu Xin? No, have you ever seen Miss Gu Xin? Where is she now?" Mi Jianxun showed off with a little pride: "I have certainly seen such a beautiful and beautiful lady! Hehe, Yin Feng and Miss Gu are so close, so the blind man can't see their relationship. By the way, Yin Feng, what happened to Miss Gu Xin? Why haven't she even written a letter to you yet?"
Zhang Tingmu immediately lowered his eyes with a loss and said, "Actually, Miss Gu Xin... has been taken away by her...her mother, Mrs. Li. I don't know her whereabouts." When Mu Wushuang heard the three words "Mrs. Li", he couldn't help but look solemn - he naturally guessed that the so-called Mrs. Li might be Li Nan's mother.
Mu Wushuang lowered his eyelids and murmured: "Even if the junior uncle was tortured by the Golden Jackal Gu, he was always by my side. But what about the eldest brother? Miss Gu Xin was taken away by those people again and again, he might feel even more uncomfortable. Compared with him, I am too lucky..." Thinking of this, Mu Wushuang glanced at Zhang Tingmu, who was lost, and then said to Zhang Tingmu carefully: "Senior Brother, in fact, our demon world is also looking for Miss Gu Xin... Otherwise, you can tell me about Miss Gu Xin's whereabouts, maybe it can help you!".
