Today, there are many famous generals gathered in the square in front of the mansion. Except for Pei Yue, the first-level commanders are not qualified to speak. In such an occasion, a young woman with a beautiful country suddenly appears, which naturally attracts complicated and curious eyes from everyone.

Luo Huanzhang frowned and said, "That woman, who are you?"

The young woman walked forward slowly with the file in hand, and stopped when she reached Pei Yue. However, she did not look at Pei Yue, but looked past him at Ye Qi.

The eyes of the two met briefly, and even Pei Yue was not sure what kind of communication they had at this moment.

The young woman withdrew her eyes and looked at Luo Huanzhang and Tang Youzhi calmly. Her voice was cold and pleasant: "Two adults, the name of the little girl is Shen Danmo. My father is Momo Yun, and I am Zuo Lingchen of Taishitai Pavilion."

Luo Huanzhang was surprised: "Are you Lord Shen's daughter?"

Shen Danmo nodded and said: "Exactly."

The military's attitude towards Taishitaige is slightly different from that of civil servants. Many times, the information obtained by Taishitaige's crows is very important to these generals, but they are also very afraid of the other party reaching out to their armies. The latter situation is unavoidable, so Luo Huanzhang can be said to love and hate Taishitai Pavilion, but he also has a deeper understanding of this unfathomable yamen.

He frowned and asked, "Miss Shen, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this, right?"

In addition to Zuo Lingchen and You Lingdou, the nine principals in Taige are all ruthless characters who can act alone. Logically speaking, if it is to investigate Lu Min, You Lingdou needs to come with at least a few principals. Shen Danmo's identity Although he is noble, he has no official position and is not suitable for the current occasion.

The middle-aged man who was standing next to Shen Danmo's carriage stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Robert, this official is Lin Jia, the head of the Li Department. Please tell me the whole story. There have been some changes in the cabinet recently. , Mr. Shen has asked the young lady to temporarily take charge of all matters in the Western Territory, and His Majesty is already aware of it at this time."

Luo Huanzhang didn't care at all. Since the emperor agreed, what else did he care about the rules and regulations?

The violent veteran looked at the file held in Shen Danmo's hand and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly did Taige find out?"

Shen Danmo moved his eyes to Lu Min, who had a gloomy expression, and said clearly: "Since December of the third year of Kaiping, every one and a half months, a secret letter has been sent from Lingzhou, and it contains the most secret secret of the military. Post route, it was finally sent to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion in Kyoto. Cheng'an Marquis, do you admit this?"

Lu Min sneered and said: "So what? As the right military commander of the Western Prefecture, one of my responsibilities is to supervise the situation of the fourth battalion in the Western Region. Does this matter also need to be reported to Taige regularly?"

Shen Danmo didn't take it seriously and continued: "In the third year of Renxuan, you were promoted from the commander of the Qinian camp in the south to the commander of the Chengjing camp. In the sixth year of Renxuan, you were promoted to the magistrate of the West Prefecture, and the following year you were promoted to Youjunji .We have now found out that from the seventh year of Renxuan to the second year of Kaiping, there has never been any similar correspondence in the five years. This is the first doubt."

Lu Min shook his head, with a bleak look on his face and said, "If you want to impose a crime, why bother?"

Shen Danmo said calmly: "In the second year of Kaiping, there were signs of banditry in the Hengduan Mountains. However, until the end of the spring of the third year of Kaiping, these thieves were not found in Jingying. According to investigations, Qibao Pavilion in Kyoto secretly transported grain and grass into the mountains, and Jingying Several routine military exercises found no trace of the bandits. Taige spent countless manpower and material resources, and after a year and a half of tracing, we finally found out which big shot was protecting those bandits."

Luo Huanzhang and Tang Youzhi felt more and more absurd as they listened, but Shen Danmo's calm tone forced them to believe it.

The mastermind behind those bandits turned out to be Cheng'an Hou Lu Min?

Lu Min said indifferently: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Shen Danmo raised his eyebrows slightly, with a touch of sarcasm on his cold face: "Marquis Cheng'an, be careful. Taige has indeed found no evidence that you acted directly, and the people who work for you are also tough men. , even though they were tortured, they never uttered a single word. However, no matter how determined they were, they could not explain one thing clearly. With their rank and power, they simply could not protect a group of thousands of people hundreds of miles away from Kyoto. Bandits."

Luo Huanzhang glanced at Pei Yue, who was standing silently and solemnly, and he probably understood why this young powerful man was so crazy today.

Shen Danmo looked at the ashen-faced Lu Min and said very calmly: "In October of the third year of Kaiping, Wei Guogong led his army into Hengduan Mountain to suppress bandits. With Pei Yue's advice, he successfully cleared the bandits' lair, but failed to capture them. That thief leader. Even my father was a little confused about this matter. Since Wei Guogong took action himself, how could the thief leader escape? Later we found out that Wei Guogong deliberately let the thief leader go, leaving a tail behind and secretly watching. Her whereabouts. As expected, the leader of the bandits went all the way west and lived in Lingzhou. That is, starting from December of that year, a secret letter was sent from Lingzhou to the Chengguo Palace in Kyoto every once in a while. "

Pei Yue turned his head in surprise. Chen Xizhi escaped successfully because he could not stop such a master in the mountains. Why didn't he know that Wang Pingzhang had this skill?

Shen Danmo seemed to feel his surprised gaze and coughed twice without any trace.

Ye Qi looked at the two of them with a half-smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Over there, Lu Min said with a sneer: "Everything you say is just based on rumors, hearsay, and groundless speculation. Is this how your father teaches you to handle cases?"

Shen Danmo moved his eyes towards him and said loudly: "General Zhonglang, when do you plan to see him?"

Everyone looked at Wang Jiuxuan.

The promising eldest son of Wei State sighed lightly, looked at Lu Min and said: "Marquis Cheng'an, since Taige has found so many doubts, I think the safest thing to do at this time is to ask you to hand over your military power first and return to Kyoto. Your Majesty decides."

Lu Min said disdainfully: "Wang Jiuxuan, you also want to seize power?"

Wang Jiuxuan reached into his arms and took out a tightly wrapped scroll in full view of everyone. After removing the outer wrapping, a roll of bright yellow silk was revealed.

Lu Min's expression changed drastically.

As Wang Jiuxuan raised the scroll high, the commanders closest to him knelt down one after another, followed by Luo Huanzhang, Tang Youzhi and their personal followers who were a little further away. Under the faint sunshine in early winter, this scroll seemed to be infinite. The magic power caused everyone in the square to kneel down from near to far, and eventually even the entire long street.

Apart from Wang Jiuxuan, only Lu Min, Pei Yue and Ye Qi were still standing.
