"The prince's camp has arrived." Xu Mo opened the sedan curtain and helped Mei Xichen down.

Arriving at the compound, the guards outside the door hurried forward to pay homage to Mei Xichen. Mei Xichen was also a resolute person. Without hesitation at all, he asked General Wang about his condition when he entered the room.

"How is General Wang? Is he awake now?" Mei Xichen was in a rather anxious mood and quickly asked the Jin Yiwei next to him.

"I'm telling you, your lord, General Wang has woken up, but he hasn't gotten out of bed yet," said a guard in golden robes.

"Okay, take me there right away." Mei Xichen stood up and followed his subordinates to General Wang's room.

When General Wang saw Mei Xichen arriving, he quickly wanted to get out of bed and salute, but he stopped him.

"General Wang, there is no need to salute. You can just lie down and reply." Mei Xichen looked at the seriously injured General Wang and felt distressed, frowning and said.

"Thank you, Lord."

"Let me ask you, do you know the identity of the man in black who assassinated you and Prince Liang that day?" Mei Xichen asked.

"I don't know about this yet, but before King Liang died, he told his subordinates that he knew it was someone sent by King Kang, but we have no evidence. Also, the people who attacked the military camp that day were also done by people sent by King Kang, but they His agility left no one alive, whether it was ours or theirs, either they were not caught, or there were only corpses left." General Wang then told Mei Xichen the details of the day.

"Then let me ask you where is the body now?" Mei Xichen continued to ask after thinking for a moment.

"I put the body in the ice cellar because I thought it might be helpful in solving the case, so I didn't bury it," General Wang said.

"That's good, let's do this. I'll go take a look at the body first." After saying that, Mei Xichen turned to look at the soldiers standing outside the door.

"Come here and take Prince Mei to the ice cellar quickly." General Wang called to the guard standing guard at the door.

"Yes, General."

"Your Majesty, please come with me." The soldier said, leading Mei Xichen and others.

After passing the backyard, they came to a remote yard, opened the door lock on the ground, and walked down. It was so dark inside that nothing could be seen. Xu Mo took out the fire folder in his arms, lit a candle and led the way.

"Your Majesty, please come this way," the soldier said.

Because this is an ice cellar, it is extremely cold. Only in this way can a person's body be kept as incorruptible as possible within a few days. Xu Mo stepped forward and looked at each corpse.

"Your Majesty, there are our people here as well as the people who attacked us that day. You see, these are people from Wu'an County. You can easily identify them from their clothes. They also have weapons unique to people from Wu'an County. ." The soldier explained and described to Mei Xichen seriously.

"Xu Mo, take a closer look and see if you find anything else." Mei Xichen turned her head towards Xu Mo.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Mo carefully observed the corpses of each Wu'an County man. Coincidentally, there was a special symbol on their lower backs.

"Your Majesty, look." Xu Mo said and exposed the waist of the corpse. As expected, every corpse had an identical pattern.

Mei Xichen pointed to the tattoo and asked the soldier: "Does this Wu'an County person have a mark with this pattern?"

The soldier looked at it, shook his head and said, "As far as I know, they don't have any soldiers."

At this time, Shen Tingyu on the side came forward, looked at one of the corpses carefully and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen this pattern before."

"Really? Are you sure you've seen it before?" Mei Xichen's eyes suddenly flashed.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I remember that a few years ago, King Kang had a very sincere subordinate named Jin Ba. At that time, he was sentenced to prison by the emperor for committing an offense. Later, he was somehow bailed out by King Kang. But in the future This man disappeared silently, as if he had disappeared from the world. Coincidentally, I happened to be the one who arrested him at that time, so I had seen this pattern of tattoos on his body." Shen Tingyu carefully recalled the scene at that time.

"So that means these people should all be members of Jinba?" Mei Xichen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Then I don't know, but what is certain at present is that this matter must be related to him." Shen Tingyu looked at Mei Xichen with great certainty and nodded towards him.

"Okay, the body needs to be preserved for the time being. Let's go back first." With that said, Mei Xichen and others walked towards the outside of the ice cellar.

After walking out of the ice cellar, Mei Xichen came to General Wang's room again.

"General Wang, do you know Jin Ba?" Mei Xichen asked.

"I don't know." General Wang shook his head. I have been stationed at the border, so I don't know many people.

"Then do you know if there are other bandits or other small forces nearby?" Mei Xichen asked again.

"I know this, Your Majesty, there is such a force at the border between the two countries, but they have never harassed the local people. They can basically ignore their existence. It can't be them, right?" General Wang pondered for a moment. road.

"That's right, we are going to take a look at Tingyu tonight." Mei Xichen looked at Shen Tingyu and said.

Shen Tingyu instantly understood what Mei Xichen was going to do. Shen Tingyu knew Jinba, so it would be much easier to solve the problem as long as he was sure that this person was Jinba.

"Okay, General Wang, I have a general understanding of what is going on here. You can recover well and I will take care of the rest." Mei Xichen comforted General Wang, turned around and walked out of his room.

When they came to their study room, Mei Xichen, Xu Mo and Shen Tingyu were discussing their actions tonight.

"Your Majesty, our purpose this time is just to confirm that the village leader is Jinba?" Xu Mo asked curiously.

"Yes, this is our first step. If nothing goes wrong, this person is Jin Ba." Mei Xichen said confidently.

"Then, Your Majesty, you said that after so many years, they have hardly caused any trouble here, and they have not harmed the surrounding people. Logically speaking, a group of bandits should not harm the countryside and do all kinds of evil." Xu Mo was a little confused.

"You don't know this, right? This King Kang is very smart. He must have been afraid that Jin Ba would reveal who he was behind the scenes, so he protected him. Later, he was arranged to come here. This is King Liang's territory, and they can be considered as stationed here. They are the informants here, King Kang provides them with food and drink, and they provide information and information to King Kang." Shen Tingyu said confidently while looking at the confused Xu Mo.

"Ting Yu is right, that should be what happened. We don't have to guess, we will find out after we check it out tonight," Mei Xichen said.

"By the way, Ting Yu, what crime did you arrest Jin Ba because of?" Mei Xichen added.

"Since I just joined Jinyiwei at that time, I didn't know much about many things, so I don't know the details. I only heard that it was related to food and salary. But if the prince wants to know, we can go get the files later." Shen Tingyu also had a look on his face. I'm at a loss, but fortunately, I can still think of a way to investigate this matter.
