"Where did you enter?" But after hearing what Ma Su said, Wang Mang also asked him in a deep voice.
Facing Wang Mang's increasingly silent eyes, Ma Di said with difficulty to him: "Enter... into Neilifang!"
Before Wang Mang could ask, Ma Di said this to him: "The man entered Neilifang, and I was going to continue to follow him, but who expected that this person was still buried in Neilifang?"
When the general sees this, he has no choice but to give up."
"You mean that your assassination is related to your following the man wearing the snake head mask last night?"
Facing Wang Mang's empty eyes, Ma Di said bitterly to him: "Other than that, I really can't think of why the general was assassinated for no reason."
There was a sudden silence in the camp, and Wang Mang's eyes flickered in and out of silence.
"General!" Seeing that Wang Mang was still silent, Ma Di called to him urgently.
"Say! Tell me your guess."
"No! I think that the person with the snake head mask who followed me last night must be one of the masterminds who repeatedly instigated the feud between the general and His Majesty. What's more important is that this person is most likely to be a member of the court.
people."
"A person from the court?" Even if Ma Su didn't say it, Wang Mang knew because this person returned to Neilifang.
But seeing Wang Mang's eyes burning with fire, he was already furious.
Ma Su struck again while the iron was hot: "General, as the art of war goes, soldiers need to be quick. As long as the general sends the black-armored guards to Neilifang to search the mansions of the courtiers, they will definitely be able to find the snake-head mask."
"Good! Very good! Ma Su, do you know that you have done extraordinary service for me, General!"
"Someone is coming!"
After praising Ma Su, Wang Mang immediately summoned his personal guards to come in.
Before the guard could stand firm, Wang Mangli issued an order to him: "Send the order and order Chunyu and Liang Fang, two generals, to come to the city quickly to prepare for the camp."
"promise!"
A heart that was hanging in the air finally dropped after Wang Mang issued this military order.
Ma Su also lay flat on the ground as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
At the same time that he was breathing a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly came from outside the camp.
"General, Liang Ji has brought back a shocking secret from Northern Hebei and wants to present it to the general."
Shocking secret? Liang Ji is back? r> But after hearing this voice, Wang Mang's face showed joy and he suddenly opened the military tent.
He reined in his horse and stopped in front of the tent. Under Wang Mang's surprised look, Liang Ji turned over and dismounted.
"General!"
Liang Ji, who was covered in dust and dirt, turned over and dismounted, and knelt at Wang Mang's feet without saying a word.
"General, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission as a general and brought back the shocking secret from northern Hebei."
"A shocking secret? What did the military advisor say?" But after hearing what Liang Ji said, Wang Mang hurriedly helped him up.
"Um!"
But seeing Liang Ji nodding, Wang Mang also said excitedly to him, "Quick, come in and talk."
"promise!"
Following Wang Mang into the military tent, Liang Ji immediately saw Ma Su, who was seriously injured and was getting up.
"Come here quickly, military advisor, my general." Wang Mang immediately urged Liang Ji as Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the chair.
"This?" But after hearing Wang Mang's urging, Liang Ji looked troubled and glanced at Ma Su, who was covering his right abdomen.
How could Wang Mang not understand what Liang Ji meant by looking at Ma Su? It was just that he had his own way of controlling people, so...
"It doesn't matter what you say, military advisor. Ma Zhonglang is one of our own."
One of our own?
But after hearing what Wang Mang said, Liang Ji also looked at Ma Su curiously.
Others may not know what Wang Mang means by his own people, but he does.
This person represents the person Wang Mang completely trusts!
What did Ma Su do? How could Wang Mang regard him as one of his own?
Although he was extremely confused, Liang Ji could only suppress his confusion temporarily because Wang Mang was waiting.
"Back to General, Ji will make a long story short. During this trip to northern Hebei, Ji and Qin Zhongshu were divided into two groups. Ji was responsible for visiting the counties in northern Hebei, and Qin Zhongshu was responsible for secretly visiting Li's relatives."
Visit? Undercover visit?
But after hearing what Liang Ji said, Ma Su was also very confused.
Could it be that he guessed wrong? Liang Ji and Qin Hui went to northern Hebei secretly.
Not for the queen?
But if not for the queen, why?
Could it be that the general wanted to seduce the Li family in northern Hebei, so he asked his two right-hand men to go to northern Hebei to collect "evidence" of Li Tang in northern Hebei! So that he became famous as a good teacher?
It must be!
As long as Li Tang is destroyed, Zhen Mi will be the fish on Wang Mang's chopping board and can be removed at any time.
Just when Ma Su was convinced, what Liang Ji said next made Ma Su deeply understand what a bolt from the blue was.
"General, after many days of open and covert visits by Ji and Qin Zhongshu, today Ji and Qin Zhongshu can conclude..." ??
"Conclude what?" But after hearing what Liang Ji said, Wang Mang also leaned forward in excitement.
"It is concluded that what the person who informed me is true, His Majesty has passed away, and the person sitting in the palace now is not the real Majesty!"
"What did you say?"
But after hearing what Liang Ji said, Wang Mang jumped down from his chair, rushed to Liang Ji and said, "Speak again, military advisor!"
Facing Wang Mang's increasingly cold eyes, Liang Ji said to him word by word: "I say that His Majesty sitting in the palace now is not the real Majesty."
"Is there any evidence?"
"have!"
But after listening to Wang Mang's question, Liang Ji slowly took out a pile of cotton and silk from his arms, walked quickly to Shuai's case, and spread it out one by one.
"General, this is the portrait that I and Qin Zhongshu have asked those who know painting to draw after many days of secret visits. The person in this portrait is named Li Mu, who is exactly the same as the late emperor. Li Yuan, Li's cousin, also recognized that Li Mu is in the family.
But there is this person."
After saying this to Wang Mang, Liang Ji took out another roll of silk from his arms and said: "General, this letter is written by Li Yuan himself and is presented to the general by the minister."
After taking in all the portraits on the handsome case, Wang Mang stretched out his hand and snatched the silk silk from Liang Ji's hand.
Spreading the silk in front of him, Wang Mang just glanced at it twice and then threw the silk to the ground.
"Your Majesty is dead?" As if he had lost his soul, Ma Di opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief.
Unbelievably, Ma Su suddenly rushed in front of Liang Ji like a madman, grabbed Liang Ji's sleeve and said: "Liang Jun, what is going on? Your Majesty, how did he die? This is very similar to your Majesty. What does it have to do with Li Mu?"
"Ma Zhonglang! You scratched me and it hurts."
First, he glared at Ma Su fiercely, and then Liang Ji explained: "This matter is a long story, and the whole story cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. You only need to know that my visit to Ji Bei, it’s better to take out His Majesty’s portrait and show it to them first. They pointed to His Majesty’s portrait and told me that the person in the painting is Li Mu.”
"Later, I went into the city again and looked for a few shops on the street away from Li's house. This time, I only gave Li Mu's name to the shopkeepers, and the shopkeepers still painted my portrait of His Majesty. .If Ma Zhonglang still wants to know more details, he can read Li Yuan's handwriting."
"Li Yuan's handwriting?" But after hearing what Liang Ji said, Ma Di hurriedly let go of Liang Ji and picked up the silk on the ground.
"On August 12, the twelfth year of Jingyuan, Zhongyuan! Li continued to drive to Yecheng. On the same day, Li Mu accidentally slipped and fell into the Ji River. The water in the Ji River was fast that day, and the whereabouts of Li Mu's body are still unknown."
When Ma Su finished reading a section of the letter in a trembling tone, Liang Ji also interrupted: "Northern Hebei is far from Yecheng, but it's not so far that we can't reach it in more than a month." situation."
Although Ma Su was shocked by the shocking secret that Liang Ji brought back from northern Hebei, he was not completely confused by it. Now, after hearing what Liang Ji said, he also turned to Liang Ji and asked: "Master Liang's Does this mean that Li Jicheng has not entered Yecheng?"
"Smart, my guess is that the purpose of his trip is just to transport Li Mu to Yecheng, and then the palace people will bring Li Mu into the palace."
"Who is in the palace? Who is it?"
"Who else could it be?" After replying to Ma Su, Liang Ji turned to look at Wang Mang and said, "General, do you still remember the carriage that Ji Ming drove back late at night when the general returned to the palace to visit His Majesty?"
"Of course I remember. What Commander Liang meant was that it was Li Mu who was in the carriage that night?"
"Although it is incredible, if the general thinks about it carefully, doesn't the general feel that the majesty that the general saw that night is different from the majesty that the general has seen in the past?"
