When the spy guard went down with the plate, King Mu turned his eyes and stared at Zeng Mingzhi, which frightened the latter and quickly lowered his head.
"Zeng Zhifu." Staring at Zeng Mingzhi, King Mu called in a deep voice.
Zeng Mingzhi quickly raised his hands and responded, "I'm here."
"You accepted Ruliu's advice and adopted Qin Yi's strategy. Therefore, the banditry was able to be eliminated and Jiao Mao was captured, thanks to your contribution." King Mu said slowly.
Zeng Mingzhi remained silent, with no joy on his face.
He knew that King Mu didn't want to see him, so he praised him now just to belittle him later.
From the treatment just now, he already knew what kind of position he had in the heart of this decisive and decisive prince.
The wrong person!
"With these achievements, why worry about not being promoted?" King Mu's voice suddenly turned cold, and he asked word by word, "But can you tell me why the prison was washed with blood?"
"Why does Jiao Mao, as a bandit leader, die in an unknown way?"
"Why haven't you told me yet who did it?"
Listening to King Mu's cold words, Zeng Mingzhi trembled a few times in his heart, lowered his head, and did not dare to say anything.
He also felt a little regretful about why he didn't strengthen the prison's security.
If there was no such stain, he could sit down with Qin Yi at this time and discuss merit and reward him.
Thinking of this, his heart almost bleeds.
"It has been a few days since Jiao Mao was killed. Can you tell me how the case went?" King Mu stared at Zeng Mingzhi, making the latter feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
His eyes are so cold and sharp!
Zeng Mingming knew that he did not dare to conceal it, so he quickly replied, "Reporting to the prince, it is useless to catch the case, and the case has not progressed. I only asked Qin Yi for help, and then I got the clue that the gangster picked up the crossbow arrows from the Yinlian Valley."
When King Mu heard this, he glanced at Qin Yi in surprise. He did not expect that Qin Yi not only had great strategy and martial arts, but also had investigative abilities.
This boy is truly extraordinary.
Immediately, he looked at Zeng Mingzhi and asked, "What about next, is there any progress?"
A big bead of sweat appeared on Zeng Mingzhi's forehead, and he shook his head bitterly.
"Trash!" King Mu scolded angrily.
Zeng Mingzhi was extremely frightened and said, "I know I'm wrong. Please calm down my lord!"
"Hmph!" King Mu snorted coldly, "Incompetent person, your faults will be left to His Majesty's judgment!"
Zeng Mingzhi nodded repeatedly, looking panicked and not daring to argue.
King Mu looked away and no longer looked at Zeng Mingzhi.
He knew that these useless people in the government office were completely useless. If he wanted to find out who was responsible for the bloodbath in the prison, he would have to rely on the imperial spies he brought with him.
Jing Xun and Zeng Ming knew that they were being punished and scolded, and Quan Shenhan on the side knew that it was his turn next.
He bowed down more and more, assuming an extremely humble posture.
"General Quan." King Mu looked at Quan Shenhan, his eyes flashing with sternness, "On the day the bandits attacked the city, you left the city without permission. Can you tell me what happened?"
Qin Yi, who was sitting still, suddenly became excited when he heard King Mu's question.
Jing Xun and Zeng Ming knew that being punished was not what he wanted to see. After all, one had a good impression of him and the other had a good impression of him.
It would be nice to see Quan Shenhan punished.
Although he had not met Quan Shenhan face to face for a few days since he came back, Qin Yi is still afraid when he thinks about the ambush that day in the woods.
If he hadn't taken the wrong approach and deceived the other party with lies he once knew everything about, I'm afraid he would be a dead body by now.
So these days, he has been thinking about how to get rid of this old silver coin as soon as possible.
Faced with King Mu's inquiry, Quan Shenhan responded quickly, "Reporting to King Mu, the general left the city suddenly that day. It was because he learned that the escort troops were attacked. He expected that the bandits were all in the Yinlian Valley and had no time to come to Fucheng to cause trouble, so he led his troops.
Go and support.”
"Even so, the general still left two hundred soldiers behind. Presumably these soldiers must have contributed a lot to suppressing the bandits in the city." Quan Shenhan continued.
Shameless... Qin Yi secretly slandered.
Not only is this guy an old man, but he is also shameless and takes all the credit for himself.
If he hadn't predicted that there were bandits outside the court and sent people to eliminate them first, otherwise the court would have been controlled by the soldiers who stayed behind, and the bandits outside would have burned, killed and looted, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
At that time, the punishment Quan Shenhan will face will be even more severe.
King Mu frowned and asked displeasedly, "The garrison is not allowed to move without military orders. Do you know this law?"
Quan Shenhan nodded, with a sincere look on his face, "The general will know, but the military situation is urgent. If..."
"Do you know?" King Mu shouted coldly, interrupting Quan Shenhan's sophistry.
Quan Shenhan pursed his lips and could only nod, "The general will know."
"It's okay to know. You have violated the law. It would be okay if you captured Jiao Mao and redeemed your sins, but have you done it?" King Mu was a little disdainful.
He kept talking about support, but the person escorting the troops said so. It was only when he returned to the city that he saw Quan Shenhan's troops.
What has this guy been doing for such a long time?
If the Royal Spy Guard hadn't investigated in advance, this guy would have been deceived.
"I am very curious about what you did after you left the city and before you met the escort troops. Why is one of your soldiers missing?" King Mu stared at Quan Shenhan and asked slowly.
Quan Shenhan shuddered and his eyes suddenly opened wide!
He lowered his head and tried to suppress his surprise, but his mind was filled with chaotic thoughts.
After working hard for a while, he suppressed the panic in his heart, pretended to be calm and raised his head and said, "When I led the troops out of the city, I learned from the scouts that there were crossbow machines in the Yinlian Valley. I was afraid of making the same mistake again, so I
They didn't dare to act rashly, so they led their troops into hiding."
"As for the personal soldiers, what did the prince say?" Quan Shenhan pretended to be confused.
"You Rui!" King Mu stared at Quan Shenhan closely, as if he wanted to read some clues from his face, "According to the investigation by the imperial spy guards, when you left the city, there were forty-three soldiers by your side. When you returned to the city,
At that time, there were only forty-two people left, including your most trusted You Rui!"
Quan Shenhan was shocked. He didn't expect that the Imperial Spy Guard could be so miraculous and even investigate this.
Could it be that there is a traitor in the team?
He couldn't help but worry, would the fact that he sent his own soldiers to cleanse the prison be known?
But soon, he felt at ease.
If it had been known, he would have been in jail to be executed, instead of standing here answering questions.
In addition, he was also a little lucky that he did not kill Liu Luo and others in order to silence them. If so, the death of Qianhu and the great reduction of his troops would definitely not escape King Mu's eyes and ears.
"It's difficult to answer?" Seeing that Quan Shenhan didn't speak for a long time, King Mu frowned and asked.
Qin Yi squinted at Quan Shenhan, thoughts flashing through his mind like lightning.
He was very surprised. He didn't expect that the imperial spy guards brought by King Mu could even find out this.
Therefore, I am curious about what happened to the private soldier named You Rui.
There must be something fishy about this person's death, otherwise Quan Shenhan wouldn't have pondered for so long!
