Chapter 120 Shadow Mushino
Mu Liufeng vaguely felt that Li Chengqian's plans were not small, and power struggles would kill people, and he didn't want to continue this topic, because it would only cause trouble for himself.

Mu Liufeng quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, how do you think Zhou Tianhao's case should be handled?"

Li Chengqian said coldly: "Continue to investigate, the murderer must be severely punished! If you dare to touch the heir of the Marshal's Mansion today, will you want to touch my heir tomorrow?"

Mu Liufeng knew this would be the result. Li Chengqian had always been shrewd in his work, so shrewd as to be scary.

However, it is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion. To be on the safe side, Mu Liufeng continued to ask cautiously: "Your Majesty, should we arrest people directly?"

How could Li Chengqian fail to understand Mu Liufeng's concerns, stood up and thought about it, and said, "I will ask Wang Jian to go to the prime minister's mansion and bring him into the palace. You are still in charge of the interrogation."

After Mu Liufeng left, Li Chengqian whispered to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was startled: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to use Shadow Mu Xiao?"

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Why, do you have an opinion on my actions?"

Wang Jian was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground: "I don't dare, I will do it right away!"

Wang Jian was Li Chengqian's personal eunuch, and everyone wanted to show him some kindness.

When Wang Jian came to the door, Prime Minister Wu Yong received him with the highest level of courtesy.Immediately set up a banquet and try my best to please flattery.

Wu Yong sat beside him and toasted Wang Jian again and again.

When the wine was half drunk, Wu Yongcai smiled and tested Wang Jian's intention: "Your Majesty has always relied on my father-in-law, and he can't leave for even a moment. I don't know how my father-in-law has enough time today to bend down and sit in my house."

Wang Jian smiled: "Naturally, our family has nothing to do without stepping on the Three Treasures Hall. It is also the emperor's intention to come here today."

Wu Yong was shocked: "I wonder what the emperor's orders are?"

Wang Jian patted Wu Yong's shoulder: "Prime Minister, don't be nervous, it's a good thing. The emperor asked me to ask Mr. Ling about his recent cultivation. I wonder how many levels he has cultivated?"

Wu Yong was a little confused, not sure why the emperor cared about his son's cultivation.

Wu Yong asked again: "The cultivation talent of the dog is naturally not as good as that of the princes. Although he will be 22 years old at the end of the month, he is only at the eighth level of the human realm."

Wang Jian laughed and said: "At the age of 22, he has cultivated at the eighth stage of the Human Realm, which is already an excellent talent. The prime minister is too modest."

Wu Yong's face was smug, but he still said modestly: "Where is it! But why does the emperor suddenly care about the child's cultivation?"

Wang Jian said with a smile: "Princess Bailing is not young anymore. The emperor has always loved the princess very much, so naturally he is also very concerned about her marriage."

Wu Yong was overjoyed: "So that's the case. I don't know which houses my father-in-law has been to?"

Wang Jian said with a smile: "Your house was the first to come, so our family said it was a good thing. The prime minister should believe that our family is not lying."

The emperor wanted to betroth the princess to his son, which would be a great benefit to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The emperor had only recently distributed the military power of Meng Jiao, one of the three King Kongs in the marshal's mansion, to the prime minister's mansion, which was obviously a great grace of the emperor.

Wu Yong didn't doubt that there was him, he only thought that he was highly valued by the emperor.

If his son really marries Princess Bailing, he will get the dual support of the emperor and the prince's palace.

Then surpassing the other three major families, it will be just around the corner to stand out.

Wu Yong was in a good mood and kept toasting to Wang Jian.Before Wang Jian left, Wu Yong secretly gave Wang Jian a large stack of gold tickets.

It's just that Wu Yong didn't notice that when Wang Jian was drinking with him, a black shadow sneaked out of his sleeve and disappeared into the flowers and plants beside him.

As the military adviser of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Rui has always been highly regarded by the Prime Minister Wu Yong.For many important decisions, Wu Yong had to listen to Li Rui's opinions.

After a busy day, Li Rui returned to his room to rest.

But Li Rui didn't go to bed, but opened the secret door on the wall and entered the basement.

The basement is gloomy and cold, with simple furnishings, and there is only a dark coffin in it.

Li Rui walked over to open the coffin and lay down in it.

He is a ghost cultivator, and he can only sleep peacefully when he lies in a cold coffin.This is his secret, a secret that even Prime Minister Wu Yong doesn't know.

He took refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion originally to avoid being hunted down by Taoist sects.

Ghost cultivators need to absorb souls to cultivate, and they have never been favored by Taoist monks.Without the blessing of the backing, it is difficult to survive.

The cold coffin made Li Rui feel very comfortable. Ever since the Prime Minister's Mansion took over Meng Jiao's military power, it has been very busy.

After a tiring day, Li Rui soon fell asleep.

After Li Rui fell into a deep sleep, a dark blue shadow suddenly appeared in the basement.The black shadow is shaped like a sphere and emits green light. It is actually Mu Xiao, the shadow of the legendary wood elf.

The shadow Mu Xiao is a spirit of flowers and trees. He usually feeds on the spirit of wood spirits and possesses mysterious and unpredictable magical powers.

The adult shadow Mu Xiao is even more powerful, not only his body is turned into gas, but he is also proficient in the art of wood escape, and can freely shuttle between plants.

Shadow Mu Xiao came to the side of the coffin unknowingly, turned into a cloud of green air, and slipped into the coffin from the gap.

Li Rui was instantly alert. He was already a strong man in the sixth level of the heavenly realm, and he had comprehended the laws of the domain, so he was naturally very alert.

Unfortunately it was too late.Shadow Mu Xiao shook off countless green light spots and entered Li Rui's body.

These green light spots are highly poisonous and are specifically designed to paralyze the soul, making them the nemesis of ghost cultivators.

Although Li Rui was conscious, he was unable to move.He could only watch helplessly as his body was wrapped by the shadow Mu Xiao, and fell into a coma.

On the second day, Wang Jian came to the prime minister's mansion again, and Xuan Wuyong entered the palace to have an audience.

When Wang Jian passed by the flowers, he quietly opened the box in his sleeve and put the shadow Mu Xiao back in his sleeve.

Lengxingyuan is the prison where the palace treats maids and eunuchs. When Mu Liufeng arrived, Li Rui had already sealed his soul and was locked in a cell.

After Mu Liufeng reported his identity, he began to interrogate Li Rui: "Li Rui, do you know where you are?"

Li Rui was not panicked at all: "The guards outside the gate are all wearing palace uniforms. I guess it must be the cold torture garden of the palace."

Being imprisoned in the palace and still being so calm, there are only two situations.One is knowing that you must die, so you don't care.The other is, knowing that you will not die, you have nothing to fear.

Mu Liufeng guessed that Li Rui was in the second situation because he was too relaxed.

Mu Liufeng said with a smile: "Looking at you, you should know why I am looking for you, and you are ready to cooperate with all your strength."

"Of course!" Li Rui said very simply: "If you have any questions, just ask, I will know everything and say everything."

Mu Liufeng was surprised. It was the first time he encountered a prisoner begging to confess his guilt, which really gave him a lot of insight.

Mu Liufeng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't go around the bush. I'll ask you a few questions, and you can answer them honestly."

"Excuse me!"

Mu Liufeng stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point: "Did you kill Zhou Tianhao?"

"Yes!"

"Why kill him?"

"Because he's damned!"

"Uh..." Li Rui's cooperative attitude made Mu Liufeng feel a little unreal.
