C443 You Returned Empty Handed

"What did you say? A total of 23 officials were killed within two hours?"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Mu Han could not hold back his excitement and went forward to pick him up. His eyes were filled with blood as he said: "What you said is true!"

"Reporting to. . . Crown Prince, every word that this subordinate says. . . Is true. I will not hide anything at all. . . "

Due to the influence of his words, Chang Yuan could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva before saying carefully.

Hearing this, Mu Han immediately staggered a few steps back. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a lot. He repeated in disbelief: "This is impossible. He has gone mad. He must have gone mad!"

In a fit of rage, he smashed a long table beside him into pieces. Paper fragments flew everywhere. Mu Han stood in the middle of the mess. He lowered his head and looked at the fragments under his feet without saying a word. His entire person was terrifyingly gloomy.

"Your Highness, are. . . Are you alright?"

He had never seen him reveal such an expression before. The guard Chang Yuan immediately asked worriedly.

Mu Han ignored him. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Do the officials who died have a list of names?"

Chang Yuan quickly said, "Yes, I am about to hand it over!"

Chang Yuan did not dare to delay. He took out a list from his sleeve and quickly handed it to Mu Han.

Mu Han held the name list and carefully looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he laughed like a madman and said, "As expected, as expected. Yan, you are so ruthless! Such a ruthless heart! Haha! "

In the end, his laughter actually couldn't help but be mixed with a trace of killing intent. For more than twenty years, he pampered him everywhere, allowing him to never compete with him for anything. He couldn't imagine today's events. He had finally touched his bottom line. . .

How could he not be angry? He immediately recognized that most of the twenty-three officials on the list had a close relationship with him. However, all of them died within a short two hours. It was impossible to guess who the murderer was. The only thing that made him deeply sad was that some of the people on the list only had a good chat with him. He had no contact with them on normal days. As for these unrelated people. . . He was actually able to do the same!

How vicious was his heart!?

"Yan, do you really care so much about the throne? Do you care that you can do whatever you want to get it? If that's the case, I won't give in to you this time. "

Mu Han raised his head in pain. He slowly took out the Dragon Roaring Sword and sighed. "All the sins you have committed over the years, let me end them tonight!"

. . .

"Reporting to Crown Prince, the Minister of Rites requests an audience!"

At this moment, another guard rushed into the hall and reported loudly.

When he heard that it was an old friend who had come, Mu Han could not be bothered to sigh and urgently said, "Quickly invite him in!"

Before he finished speaking, the Minister of Rites, Liu Wenn, walked into the hall and bowed to Mu Han. "Crown Prince. "

"Minister, there is no need to be so polite!" Mu Han quickly helped him up and laughed at himself. " The Minister of the Limitless Palace has not been here for a long time. Mu Han even said that the Minister has forgotten about this place. "

"Your Highness, you have wronged me. I don't think I will be able to see you even if I wanted to come. " Liu Wenn said with a bitter smile. Mu Han's desire for freedom was famous. Following such a master, he did not know if he should feel fortunate or regretful.

"Haha!" Mu Han immediately laughed out loud and sighed. "Minister knows that Mu Han's heart has always been in the Jianghu and not the Imperial Court. "

Before Liu Wenn could react, he extended his hand and made a welcoming gesture. At the same time, he ordered his subordinate, "Men, serve tea. Minister, please take a seat. "

"It has been a few months since we last saw each other. Your Highness is even more elegant than before. It is gratifying. "

After taking a seat, Liu Wenn took a sip of the tea and said with a smile.

Mu Han waved his hand when he heard him. He laughed at himself and said, "It is just a waste of time. By the way, by the way, it is just a waste of time. I wonder why the Minister came to our Limitless Palace this time?"

Liu Wenn was no longer in the mood to sigh. He put down his teacup and said, "I believe Your Highness has heard about what I have done. "

Mu Han's face darkened. He clenched his fists and asked, "Is the Minister referring to the murder of twenty-three officials?"

Liu Wenn nodded and smiled bitterly. "The officials who died were not very powerful, but they were still powerful. They were killed in a short period of time and could not even resist. How many people in the court have such power and courage?"

"I believe not only His Highness and this old official know who the real culprit is, but many people in the court have also guessed it. They are just afraid of this person's power and dare not say anything about it. "

Seeing the resentment in Mu Han's eyes, Liu Wenn could not help but sigh. Over the years, Mu Han had treated Mu Yan very well. Everyone in the court had seen how Mu Han treated Mu Yan. Even if he didn't give up everything, it would be enough. Now that this had happened, the two of them were destined to never stand on the same side. They could only break off relations and become enemies between brothers. This was the thing that Mu Han couldn't accept the most.

But what could he do?

The reality didn't allow anyone to resist!

Thinking of this, Liu Wenn shook his head regretfully and changed the topic, "To tell you the truth, Your Highness, this old official has already made a trip to Cosmos Palace. It was precisely to request an audience with the Emperor and travel together. There are also a hundred colleagues in the court. "

When Mu Han heard this, he took a sip of tea in a desolate manner and smiled bitterly, "Lord Guan Shang Shu's expression, this trip must have been fruitless, right?"

"You can't say that. " Liu Wenn frowned and a trace of undetectable sadness flashed across his eyes, "At least this old official noticed something strange. Martial King seemed to be trying his best to hide something. From this, I can infer that the Emperor is afraid. . . "

However, before he could finish his words, Mu Han interrupted him with a light cough and shook his head. "Official, don't say anymore. Just pretend nothing happened today, forget it. "

Liu Wenn knew what he meant. He was afraid that he would be killed if he continued to go deeper. He smiled gratefully and asked worriedly: "I saw his aggressive approach. Yes. "

Yes, Minister!"

Liu Wenn smiled when he saw Mu Han's determination. He stood up and cupped his hands. "Liu Wenn is useless. I can't help you. I hope I can pray for you after I return home. "

After saying that, he wanted to get up and leave. Mu Han suddenly remembered something and stopped him. "Minister, please stop!"
