Chapter 672 Huo Yuan’s threat (2)

Du Ruhai had a tolerant look on his face, shaking his head and sighing as he spoke. He looked like an elder who was tolerant to his younger generation!

Seeing his attitude, Huo Yuan laughed angrily. While laughing, he said in his unique gentle tone: "Speaking of which, the Mu family is also very capable. They are all women and children, but they can work in Anguo Gongfu." In the heavily guarded warehouse, thousands of kilograms of silver were stolen without anyone noticing. Oh, by the way, it is said that the warehouse where your silver is stored is in the east courtyard, and the Mu family lives in the west courtyard. I don’t know. They actually have the ability to go to heaven and earth!"

Hearing Huo Yuan's ridicule, Du Ruhai couldn't hold back his old face. Even Du Yongzhi's three brothers and several grandchildren felt that their faces were getting hot. Du Ruhai said with an unhappy look: "Master Huo, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that you are here?" Do you suspect that I intend to frame my daughter and son-in-law?"

Huo Yuan said: "I don't dare, I just want to remind the Duke that the theft of the Mu family is full of doubts. The Duke needs to examine it carefully and don't wrongly accuse a good person." He glanced at the three brothers of Du Yongzhi again. He said pointedly: "Don't condone the bad people."

That glance was meaningful and had a hint of warning, which made the three Du Yongzhi brothers look away guiltily and not look into his eyes.

Du Yushu, the only son of Sanfang, was fifteen years old, the age when a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He believed that he was the legitimate son of An Guogong, and originally looked down on Huo Yuan's status as a merchant, because he saw Huo Yuan making sarcastic remarks to his grandfather, father and others, implying sarcasm. Unconsciously, he was holding his breath and angry, and he had the plan to show his face in front of his grandfather and uncles, so he whispered to Huo Yuan: "Master Huo, as the saying goes: Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and stop caring about others. "Wang Shangshuang, Duke An Guo will take care of the matters in our Mansion, so you don't have to worry about it."

Huo Yuan glanced at the young man with pimples on his face, then lowered his eyes, took the tea lid and stirred the tea leaves in the tea cup slowly, and said slowly: "I am also worried that the Duke of Qi's family will not be safe." Yan will bring disaster. Think about it, everyone, if tomorrow morning the imperial censor of the Procuratorate impeaches the Duke for condoning the false accusations of his legitimate wife and legitimate son and robbing their property, even if the Holy Emperor does not blame your palace, it will damage the prestige of the Duke's palace, right? For a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver, I think it’s really not worth it!"

With these words, Huo Yuan was implicitly warning them that if they persisted in insisting on holding on to the Mu family, he would definitely expose their matter to the Censor of the Imperial Court, and then the Holy Emperor would blame them. It’s not something they can afford!

Du Ruhai's face turned dark, and the faces of the three men who were originally blushing turned pale!

Anguo Gongfu has not had much status in the court for a long time. If it had not been for marrying the daughters of the clan to the powerful in recent years, the family would have been in ruins long ago. The current situation is only possible because of the protection of the General's Mansion. If you hold on, if you are impeached by the censor again, or reprimanded by the emperor, won't Anguo Duke's palace be completely finished!

Huo Yuan drank the tea slowly and put down the tea cup on the corner of the table with a "click" sound. The sound was neither soft nor heavy, but it made the hearts of the men in the Du family tremble inexplicably.

"This junior suggested that the old man go investigate the theft from the Mu family. If a good person is really wronged, go to Yingtian Mansion and bring him out as soon as possible to avoid any irreparable mistakes!"

Huo Yuanjian's voice was always gentle, and there was no emotion in it, but a cold light flashed faintly in his narrow eyes. It was clearly a May day, but it made the people in the hall feel chilly!

After making this suggestion, Huo Yuan quickly said goodbye and left. When he reached the door, Huo Yuan suddenly stopped.
