Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

The atmosphere in Simaozhai seemed a little solemn. His Majesty cut off all the heads of the Taoist Fengningguan in anger. Even the Taoist Zhengzhen did not stay for even one day, and even slapped Qing Cang directly.

This is very abnormal for Your Majesty's state of mind.

If Your Majesty is not calm enough, any of Daning's things in the past twenty years may cause him to lose his footing. Your Majesty will kill people without interrogating them, which makes many people unable to understand.

"Declare war."

The old dean glanced at Lai Cheng next to him: "Your Majesty is really angry."

"Yes, Mu Zhaotong is declaring war."

Lai Cheng curled his lips: "I just haven't figured out what the trump card of Grand Secretary Mu is? The ups and downs in recent years are nothing more than some tricks in the world, and I haven't seen him take out anything that can really be on the table."

"But he must have."

The old dean shook his head: "I just can't see through it."

At this moment, the sound of footsteps outside reminded us of the sound of footsteps, and the two of them quickly stood up and walked to the door to bow to greet him. His Majesty was back.

After the emperor entered the door, he looked at the old dean and Lai Cheng: "How is it?"

"Everyone is fixed."

Lai Cheng replied with a bow: "I have talked to a few people."

"Um."

The emperor nodded, and casually turned over a memorial on the table and looked at it, but his eyes were a little vague. Dai Fangzhou was such a clever person. Seeing that His Majesty was a little absent-minded, he hurriedly bowed and left. Only three kings and ministers were left in the Simaozhai.

"He is venting."

The emperor suddenly smiled: "I have suppressed him for more than 20 years and took his rights out of his palm bit by bit. If he doesn't want to take it, I will spread his fingers and pull it out. But Mu Zhaotong's acting skills are really good, even I think he has accepted his life."

The old dean said: "He's that kind of personality..."

The old dean did not continue to say what happened later. How could Mu Zhaotong's vengeful temperament really accept his fate? It's just that his acting skills are indeed so good that he deceived everyone, and he played a sad and sad hero's sadness. He said that Mu Zhaotong was an old fox, but wasn't the old dean? The old dean did not see Mu Zhaotong's real thoughts.

"He is not convinced."

The emperor said, "He thought that the reason why I could open his hand was just because I was the emperor, not because I was better than him, so he vented his resentment for twenty years. I asked you two to come back and wait for me first because I couldn't understand what cards Mu Zhaotong had in his hand? He tried his best to escape from Babu Lane, and he had to try his best to disgust me."

The old dean and Lai Cheng had just talked about this, and they naturally understood that the emperor had not yet given a court order and asked them to come to Simaozhai to wait because of Mu Zhaotong.

The emperor's fingers gently tapped the table: "I found that I was one step slower than him, and I had already fallen into his plan. On the surface, his plan seemed to have been broken one by one. He gave the question and I solved the question, but I only realized that the question he gave was not solved. He wanted to make me uncomfortable. I destroyed the clan and deposed the queen. His plan had already been completed. I was really uncomfortable. Fortunately, I solved the question about Shen Leng."

At this moment, Dai Fangzhou ran in from outside: "Your Majesty, Lord Han Huanzhi and Han asked for a visit."

"What are he doing if he doesn't take a good rest?"

The emperor stood up and said, "Please help people in."

Not long after, Dai Fangzhou and two little eunuchs carefully supported Han Huanzhi into the door. Han Huanzhi looked a lot of recovery. Although his face was a little pale, he was in good spirits. He had a little anxiety in his eyes. He rarely had such anxiety.

"There is no outsider, just say whatever you think."

The emperor waved his hand and signaled Dai Fangzhou and the others to go out. Dai Fangzhou helped Han Huanzhi sit down and hurriedly left Simaozhai. Han Huanzhi lowered his head and said, "I came because of Mu Zhaotong's affairs. The Tingwei Mansion has been pursuing his whereabouts. First, he found his place in a small village in Fangcheng County, but the person had already left, and then there was no useful news coming back."

The emperor asked: "You don't look like you came to tell me that you can't catch him. What's the other way?"

Han Huanzhi replied with a face: "I have never figured out what Mu Zhaotong's plan is. Later, I thought that if there is a reasonable explanation, it can only be that he is venting his dissatisfaction with His Majesty, and he wants to take revenge on His Majesty."

The emperor nodded: "Continue."

Han Huanzhi continued: "I asked someone to sort out the archives of the Tingwei Mansion. I spent an hour in the morning to sort out the major things Mu Zhaotong had done over the years as an official. After all, it was a Grand Secretary, which exceeded the scope of the daily investigation of the Tingwei Mansion. There were not many useful things in the archives, but I found that something seemed to be wrong."

Han Huanzhi said: "After Mu Zhaotong became the chief minister of the cabinet, he rarely left Chang'an. In the past twenty years after His Majesty entered the capital, he had never left Chang'an in the first ten years. In the next ten years, he would go out every two years. His reputation was so good that he almost never left the cabinet, and he only left Beijing every two years, so no one paid attention to this matter, and even the itinerary for leaving every two years was not detailed."

The emperor asked: "Tell me clearly."

Han Huanzhi said: "I think Mu Zhaotong may be in any place he has been to at this time. People must be sent to check what he has done in those years as soon as possible."

“There is a record in the cabinet.”

Lai Cheng quickly stood up and said, "I will go and get it."

Soon, Lai Cheng ran back, holding a file in his hand.

"In the spring of Tiancheng in the 15th year, Mu Zhaotong took leave and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. In the summer of Tiancheng in the 13th year, Mu Zhaotong took leave and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. In the spring of Tiancheng in the 15th year, Mu Zhaotong took leave and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors..."

Lai Cheng looked up at the emperor: "It's all back to his hometown."

The old dean shook his head: "I'm afraid I didn't really return to my hometown. Tingwei's Mansion can post a message to the local area for inquiries. It's just that in the past ten years, if Mu Zhaotong really returns to my hometown, there will be many verbal evidence."

Han Huanzhi nodded and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have already posted a question to ask."

The emperor frowned slightly. How much did Mu Zhaotong do in private?

Two months later.

Han Huanzhi has recovered almost the same way, but she looks a little lacking. He has returned to the head of the Tingwei Mansion a month ago. He personally followed the two most important cases that the Tingwei Mansion has handled. One is about who put the Bohai people in the Northern Xinjiang. Gu Le and Geng Shan are still clueless. The certificates of entry into the customs are all fake, but they can be faked and real. It is not easy to find out who the fake certificates are from. The investigation in the Northern Xinjiang is at a stalemate, so they can only keep staring at Huo Ding.

Another case is Mu Zhaotong's affairs. The investigation of the Tingwei Mansion has just been sent back from Mu Zhaotong's hometown.

Han Huanzhi opened the file and looked at it: "In the 11th year of Tiancheng, Mu Zhaotong returned to his ancestral home. He did not meet many people on the grounds that he was sick due to the fatigue of the boat and the car. He just met a few worthy people in the family, and he did not meet in person, and he was lying on the bed through the yarn..."

Han Huanzhi flipped backwards: "It's the same as in the thirteenth year of Tiancheng, and it's the same as in the fifteenth year of Tiancheng."

He frowned: "I go back every two years, but after I go back, I don't see my tribe members?"

Nie Ye lowered his head beside him and said, "Maybe he didn't go back at all. The one who went back was a fake. He was afraid of being discovered, so he pretended to be sick. He was of high status and power, and no one would say anything. Cheng Tingwei's Mansion, the chief minister of the dynasty, could not be stared at..."

Han Huanzhi said: "Check how he left after he went back over the years."

Nie Ye said: "I have checked it. Every time Mu Zhaotong returns home, he takes a waterway, and the route is fixed. Even the place where he stops is fixed, and the time when he stops is almost the same."

"Check all the places you have stopped."

Han Huanzhi let out a sigh: "Although it's slow, what we want to check is not where Mu Zhaotong is hiding, but what Mu Zhaotong is going to do... Nie Ye, lead the team south and check carefully."

Nie Ye leaned over and said, "I will arrange the manpower now."

Han Huanzhi looked at Fang Baijing: "You continue to check the Tianzi Department and read it carefully within Gyeonggi Province."

Fang Baijing clasped his fists: "I understand."

Han Huanzhi looked at Yao Hunu again: "I have read all the poems that Mu Zhaotong has written in the past few days. Most of his poems were written in the landscapes. He didn't pay attention to them at first. Later, he realized that he missed a place and read them again. He has been to most of the places he wrote in the poems, but he has never been to jump into the mountain. But he has written three poems about jumping into the mountain in Qing County and Yu Tu Lake. The poem has a sense of retreating to the pastoral countryside. He should be fascinated by a place he has never been to before. How could he feel about retiring to retire here... Go and check that place."

Yao Hunu clasped his fists: "I'll set off now."

"Fang Bailu, you both go."

Han Huanzhi frowned: "I always feel something is wrong in that place."

Yao Hunu said: "He is still staring at other cases, so it is enough for him to lead the team alone."

Han Huanzhi was silent. There was indeed some lack of people in his hands. The Tianzi Department had not been arrested yet. However, it was not difficult to check these people. They were all Taoists from various Taoist temples in Chang'an City at that time, and they were all registered. However, these people had good martial arts skills and were a little troublesome to deal with. Fang Baijing and Nie Ye and Yao Hunu were all leaving Beijing. He has not fully recovered now. It is indeed unsafe to not keep a thousand-dollar office in Chang'an City.

"Okay, you can lead the team yourself, be careful in everything, and wait for support if you find something wrong. People from Tianzijiao have always followed Mu Zhaotong, and those people should not be underestimated."

"I understand."

Yao Hunu clasped his fists and turned around and went out.

Mu Zhaotong never thought that Han Huanzhi would read the poems he had written seriously, and he would never think that Han Huanzhi would find clues from his poems. However, Mu Zhaotong was not worried about anything. He gave up the villa and gave it to the mother and son.

But Mu Zhaotong did not leave Yutu Lake. He really loves this place.

At the same time, Chen Leng had already arrived in southern Xinjiang and rushed to the south without stopping. It took more than two months to catch up with Chen Ran and his team. The navy gathered in southern Xinjiang. Chen Leng rested for a day and boarded the warship and headed for Qiuli.

It seems to have left the right and wrong place.
