Chapter 884: Chapter 885: Not Attending the Qionglin Banquet_1

"Tsk tsk, just look at his sour face. I can see it even from this distance," Mu Shaoling remarked to Baili Yan from atop a tea house.

Baili Yan glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Are you pleased?"

"Of course, I am. If he's not happy, then I'm happy," Mu Shaoling replied with pride.

"Oh," Baili Yan let out softly before continuing, "The execution orders for the Li Family have come down. Apart from those sentenced to death, the rest will be exiled. I fear they might attempt to break out before that. These next few days, you should secretly keep watch. If anyone tries to escape, execute them on the spot."

"..." Mu Shaoling's mouth fell open.

He nearly choked on his saliva. Since when was this his job? Wasn't this the Ministry of Criminal Justice's responsibility? The Court of Judicial Review? The Ministry of War's? He held no official title; although the Mu Family was an influential family and his father was an official in the court, he himself had yet to hold any position.
