"Miss, the letter from Hua Man Lou, is there any news from my brother?"

Bai Lu walked in hurriedly from outside, lifted the curtain, and anxiously handed the letter in her hand to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan was wiping the sword in her hand. After hearing this, she immediately stood up, quickly took the letter from her hand and opened it.

However, the closer she watched to the end, the uglier her expression became.

Seeing Mu Yan's expression, Bai Lu's heart suddenly jumped, and she hurriedly asked, "Did something happen to my brother?"

Mu Yan stared at the contents of the letter for a long time and did not speak.

But the more silent she was, the more panicked Bai Lu became. She couldn't imagine what she would do if something happened to her brother.

Her voice was clearly filled with tears. She didn't care about the etiquette between master and servant at this moment. She shook Mu Yan's arm presumptuously and urged anxiously, "Miss, please tell me quickly, is there something wrong with your brother? How is he?"

After hearing Bai Lu's cries, Mu Yan finally came to her senses. She raised her hand and quickly wiped away the tears from Bai Lu's eyes, and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's not your brother who's in trouble. It's... we've found out who the real murderer behind your father's death is."

Bai Lu was finally relieved to hear that her brother was fine, but when she heard the next sentence, the tears in her eyes became even more wanton. She bit her thin lips hard and asked with a sob, "Miss, who is it? Who killed my father, my mother and my entire Tang family!"

Mu Yan's breathing was a little unstable and her emotions were obviously fluctuating. She didn't say anything, but directly handed the letter in her hand to Bai Lu, because she felt nauseous every time she read that person's name.

No wonder in the last life, even though I had mobilized all my secret agents and tried my best, I still couldn't find out who was the real mastermind behind the Jiangzhou corruption case. It turned out that the real murderer was him.

Mo Xingchen!

Because of her relationship with Mo Xingchen, even if they secretly found clues, no one dared to speak out! No one dared to continue investigating.

Thinking back to the previous life, I often lamented in front of him that I was unable to help Tang Wen find the real murderer. He hypocritically comforted me, saying that as long as he ascended the throne, he would definitely help redress the Tang family. Now thinking about it, it was all a joke.

Bai Lu asked with shaking hands, "Miss, is what is said in the letter true?"

Although she knew that the spy's information would never be wrong, she still couldn't help but want to ask one more question. Because the amount of information in the letter was too much, too shocking, and she couldn't react at once.

According to the letter, Zheng Xuyin was nominally King Xuan's man, but in fact he had secretly defected to Mo Xingchen a long time ago.

Mu Yan opened the second piece of paper in the letter. It was a land deed certificate, which clearly stated that the Wang family sold 50 acres of fertile land outside the capital to Zheng Xuyin at a very low price.

And this Wang family happens to be Mo Xingchen’s maternal family.

According to the current market price, the total value of fifty acres of fertile land outside Beijing is at least three hundred taels, but it was only sold to the Zheng family for thirty taels. This must be the method Mo Xingchen used to win over Zheng Xuyin.

Then, Mu Yan opened the third piece of letter paper, which was a copy of a business contract. The names of the owners of the contract were Xu Yi and Zheng Xuyin.

Mu Yan had heard of the name of this business contract, which was called Tianlai, and it was a music house. Unlike a brothel, every girl in the music house was extremely proficient in music and was really elegant, so it was a place that many officials would set foot in.

According to the investigation, this music hall is ostensibly a place of elegance, but it is actually using this place as a cover. The real purpose is to take this opportunity to win over court officials.

In addition, the last time You Hua saw them, they were discussing some official matters, which shows that the relationship between the two is not as simple as just business partners.

The biggest possibility is that Xu Yi appears to be honest and impartial on the surface, but in fact he has been in cahoots with Zheng Xuyin and has secretly defected to Mo Xingchen.

This would explain why Xu Yi, a third-rank Imperial Censor, had an expert in his mansion. If the expert was sent by the prince, it would not be surprising.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Bai Lu's body couldn't stop shaking. Mo Xingchen is a prince!

"It's better than..."

She knew that the young lady treated them well, but the power behind the other party was not something they could afford to provoke at the moment, and she didn't want anyone to put themselves in danger for her.

Mu Yan frowned, interrupted her, pursed her lips and ordered: "Go get some pen and ink."

"Miss……"

Mu Yan said solemnly, "Go quickly!"

Bai Lu pursed her lips and swallowed what she was about to say.

Mu Yan picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the paper.

Indeed, as a minister, it is not easy to defeat a prince. Moreover, Mo Xingchen is not only a prince of Northern Qi, he also has the support of the Western Regions and Dongfan.

If his true background were exposed, he would indeed be killed without a burial place.

However, the exchange of royal blood happened too long ago, and the evidence is nowhere to be found, except for the midwife. It is too absurd to question the origin of a prince based on the testimony of a servant alone.

At that time, as long as Lingpin refuses to admit it and then turns around and blames the nanny, and fabricates a charge of revenge, the matter will end without a hassle.

As for the method of identifying kinship by dropping blood, there are many ways to mix his blood with the emperor's, but the risk is too great and it is not suitable to be used.

What's more, if this matter were to be made public, not only the entire royal family, but even the entire Northern Qi would become a laughing stock of the world.

By then, the person who exposed his background would become a sinner of Northern Qi and a thorn in the emperor's side. It would be more likely that Prince Han would be implicated as well, after all, it was he who discovered the clues.

In this way, you hurt one thousand others and hurt yourself eight hundred.

She would not be afraid if she was alone, but she absolutely could not bring trouble to her family and friends.

Now, the only way is to use the opponent's strength to attack him, and to kill him with a borrowed knife. If you want to defeat Mo Xingchen, you must have King Xuan.

The only way to ensure victory is to find a way to stir up a conflict between the two and let them fight to the death, and then she can secretly add fuel to the fire.

Once Mo Xingchen is defeated and his forces disintegrate, the truth behind the Tang family’s injustice will naturally come to light.

"Give this letter to Shen Xiang, and they will naturally know what to do."
