Shanglin Night Snow

"Training soldiers!" Mu Yunqi's eyes flashed, "So, is it true that someone hid soldiers in Guiyun Valley privately, planning to plot rebellion?"

"It seems so!" Zhao Yude nodded, and continued: "The thieves are extremely wary. Two or three thousand people camped in separate places, and they were far away from the mountain dwellings. The spies did not dare to approach rashly. Wait and see. The bandit soldiers train every day at sunrise and rest at sunset, the military discipline is strict, and the food, grass and armor are sufficient, it seems that they have planned it long ago."

"Two or 3000 people..." Mu Yunqi lightly tapped the book case with two fingers, and was puzzled by the sound: "Not to mention how difficult it is to hide thousands of strong men quietly and privately in the suburbs of the capital, let's say that the military expenses are not cheap? I'm just curious, could it be that this mastermind, besides being powerful, is actually rich?"

Zhao Yude hesitated to speak.

"Yu De has something to say bluntly, the matter has come to this point, even if the words are biased, I will not be offended." Mu Yunqi noticed his uncertainty.

Those who saw him bowed their heads: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't deliberately keep silent, it's just that... it just came from some rumors, and I'm afraid that I will hurt innocent people by speaking freely."

Mu Yunqi stood up with a flick of his sleeves: "It's a matter of treason, so why not talk nonsense? Those who are clean will clean themselves up. How can rumors be easily slandered? Unless, the person has really misbehaved!"

Now that he said this, Zhao Yude didn't dare to shirk, so he had to report what he had heard: "There has been a long-standing story in the Northwest Army that when the Qiang Hu was destroyed, the nearly [-] soldiers of the White Dragon Division guarding Xiguan would not know what to do. Later, there were rumors that this department had taught Shao Dianshuai to collect it privately, and hid it outside Yumen Pass for emergency use! And when the White Dragon Department surrendered, it is said that they took all the gold and silver property in the city where they were stationed." Pause, " Over time, just over a year ago, another remnant tribe of the Qianghu, the Kemin tribe, who was still harassing our northern border suddenly disappeared out of thin air, because there were rumors that this tribe also taught Shao Dianshuai to stay in the northwest The confidant will compile it on your behalf..."

"So you think this matter is Shao Jingheng's plan for rebellion?" Mu Yun asked himself to understand.

Zhao Yude shook his head: "This is just a rumor, and I think that if Shao Dianshuai is the mastermind behind the scenes, there are a few things that don't make sense. One is that Shao Dianshuai has no contact with Gui Yungu, and the other is that the plot of rebellion can happen at any time." It is possible to leak the rumors, and the marching and dispatching of troops should be done quickly. How can Shao Dianshuai not understand this after a long time in the battlefield? However, the current reality is that since the eve of last year, I have been under Guiyungu's eyeliner, and the number of soldiers who have entered the mountain is at most 500. , and if the slander is true, the two soldiers of Bailong and Keming will add up to nearly ten thousand people. According to this speed calculation, it will be at least four or five years after he has all settled in Yungu. The motto of military strategists, "Soldiers are precious and swift" runs counter to it, and it does not seem to be written by a man who is accustomed to using soldiers and killing decisively!"

Mu Yunqi's expression froze: "If it wasn't him, who would it be?"

Zhao Yude frowned slightly: "If this mastermind is really as I deduced before, and has never led a soldier, then there are not a few people who are suspected. For example, Shao Chenye, or the remnants of Shao Hou's death, like Peng Xuliang, because I ask Your Majesty to forgive me. In a few days, Rong Chen will investigate thoroughly!"

Mu Yunqi took two steps forward, picked up the lion cat on the window sill and caressed it for a moment, then turned around and said, "I can only tolerate you for half a month at most, and Guiyun Valley is only a few dozen miles away from the city. One day will be difficult, so after half a month, no matter whether you find anything or not, I will send troops into the mountain to fight the bandits, even if I can't catch the mastermind, but arrest the trainer who replaced him, and I will get something under interrogation."

Zhao Yude led the decree.

"One more thing." Pacing back and putting the cat on the case, Mu Yunqi moved the book in hand, "What do you think of the case of King Jia being robbed?"

"This..." Zhao Yude was a little surprised, "Your Majesty did not order the Imperial City Secretary to intervene in this case, and I dare not discuss it rashly, but I heard that the Zhouhe area has always been peaceful, and that King Jia was traveling with his entourage, and the weather was dark at that time." It’s not too late, it’s really unreasonable to suffer from this disaster.”

Mu Yunqi squeezed the cat with one hand, looking absent-minded: "In your opinion, is Guo Kai expected to solve this case?"

"I think it's extremely difficult!" Zhao Yude's eyes fell to the ground, "It's been a long time since this case has passed, King Jia and his followers haven't seen the thief's face clearly, and there are no other witnesses around. The only clue now is the piece He taught that the best way to capture the stolen jade was to find the jade and trace its source, but in case the thief did not rush to sell the stolen goods (because he had already learned that he had robbed someone who should not have been robbed that day), he would have left Beijing far away. If we leave, the possibility of cracking the case is very slim."

Mu Yunqi gave the cat's hand a pause: "So, I handed this case over to the Infantry Division, which is really embarrassing for Guo Kai?" Shaking his head: "In this way, you will help him catch the villain as soon as possible, clarify Tell the truth, put an end to rumors!"

Zhao Yude worshiped the leader again.

Let's go, Mu Yunqi teased the cat for a while, and before the dangling cat's tail touched the inkstone, he grabbed the cat's neck and threw it back to the window sill—presumably it was something serious.

"Meow----" Unexpectedly, the cat's paw stepped on his hand that was about to be pulled away, and the raised eyes were full of innocence.

Mu Yunqi couldn't help laughing: "You messed up the book case, but you are still wronged?"

Leaning over to his hand, sticking out his barbed tongue as if to demonstrate, while scratching his head and showing off his weakness, playing both soft and hard, the only purpose is - never let him go!

There was a stalemate for a long while, but Mu Yunqi succumbed first, and Linxuan smoothed the hair for King Patch, but his mouth was full of complaints: "I taught you to stay in Shao's house that day, but you didn't want to, but when you came back, you were restless. Go!" Think about it and get angry: "You can't get along with those few fine-bred cats in the palace. Isn't it self-deprecating to think that the wild dog of Shao's family has an unknown origin?"

"Meow----" the cat's mouth opened, and it screamed softly. Yu Zhu was noncommittal and didn't care about the accusation.

Fortunately, Mu Yunqi is also used to it, stroking the cat's fur and thinking to himself: "Now he suspects that I want to kill Yin Che, and he doesn't know if he has anything to do with returning to Yungu. I won't go to the west courtyard again for a while, you If you go—" He pinched the cat again with his hand back, and his tone became harsher: "I will never come back from now on!"

"Meow----woo!" I don't know if the words were too serious, or because the ears hurt, the lion cat stood up suddenly, with a shake of spirit, turned around and jumped up the old tree in Linxuan, climbing steadily along the branches.

Mu Yunqi raised his head and saw a magpie concentrating on grooming standing on the branch of an old tree.

"Seeing the difference and thinking about it!" With a curse, the person who was cold on his beloved pet turned around with a flick of his sleeves.

Just before sitting back to the case, I heard that Huangmen came to report, and Guo Kai was waiting to be called.

When the person entered, he pleaded guilty because of the lack of progress in the investigation of the previous case.Mu Yunqi has no intention of criticizing him from now on, he just told him about the matter and told him that he had ordered the Imperial City Secretary to help him thoroughly investigate.

Guo Kai thanked him, and seeing that the emperor had nothing to say, he boldly said, "I have something else I would like to report to Your Majesty." The person on the seat nodded, and was careful for a while: "King Jia recently brought a woman into the mansion to live for a long time, I don't know Has Your Majesty heard of it?"

Mu Yunqi nodded: "King Jia reported to me, and I also ordered the Secretary of the Imperial City to thoroughly investigate this girl's life experience. Assuming that she is innocent, I allow him to ask for it." After a pause, the impression was obviously blurred: "That girl seems to be calling... bright……"

"Mingxia!" Guo Kai reminded: "This woman left the palace without saying goodbye two days ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown. King Jia was furious because of this, and ordered his ministers to find her back."

"Leaving the residence privately?" Mu Yunqi was surprised when he heard the words: "Do you know why?"

Guo Kai shook his head: "I only know that she has been planning to escape for a long time. That day, she searched for an opportunity to drug the daughter of the gardener who came with her father, put on her clothes and went out. She never returned. As for the reason for her escape, I haven't found out yet. Brows indented, "In the morning of the second day after she disappeared, I ordered people to search all over the city but to no avail. I think she is a weak woman, and without help from others, it is not easy to disappear in the middle of the night. So here..." There was worry in his raised eyes.

"Do you think that this matter may be like the previous case of Qin Liuzhi, and the inside story should be kept?" Mu Yun asked himself to understand.

Guo Kai admitted: "The reason why I think there are many suspicious things about this woman is because we had some strange things when we first met her." Then he roughly told the person who bumped into her that day.

Mu Yun prayed and heard that he was surprised: "I didn't mention this matter to Yin Che at the beginning, otherwise, I would never allow him to keep this girl by my side!"

Guo Kai smiled wryly: "King Jia knew this and decided to hide it from His Majesty."

After a little deliberation, Mu Yunqi came to a realization: "So, Yin Che really fell in love with that woman?"

The truth is obvious, Guo Kai has no intention of talking too much.

"So, it's embarrassing..." Mu Yunqi smiled wryly as he stood up and took two steps, "How is Yin Che doing now?"

Guo Kai replied: "King Jia is anxious, and ordered me to find this girl! I have already persuaded King Jia, but he doesn't seem to think so."

After walking around for two times, Mu Yunqi made up his mind: "I will also ask the Imperial City Secretary to help you investigate this case. This woman called 'Mingxia' must be found, but she must not be allowed to get close to King Jia again." Turn around and sit down Next, the tone became harsher: "And during this period of time, King Jia is not allowed to leave the mansion without authorization, otherwise he will be severely punished!"

Guo Kai obeyed.After coming out of the palace, he went straight to the Infantry Division to deal with official duties for half a day. Seeing that the sun was setting, he remembered the official's order and wanted to go to Prince Jia's mansion.

However, after going there, I realized that something happened again!
