In the underground darkroom, Hu Wuwei and Yang Zhen were still in coma. It was obvious that Zhang Mingzhi's method of investigating the case was inseparable from action.
And it seemed that the scope of the attack should be quite large. The injuries on the two people's bodies looked densely packed.
And the deputy commander of the Department of Natural Resources, An Xinling, was very sober, more sober than he had been every day in his life for the past thirty years.
Because he knew that he probably had no chance of survival and betrayed Yu Lingwei. Even if these people let him live, he would not be able to survive.
Zhang Mingzhi told Lin Ye what happened, and Lin Ye looked at the deputy commander who seemed to be awake but his soul was gone.
Lin Ye walked up to An Xinling and looked down at him: "Are all these things done by Yu Lingwei?"
An Xinling nodded with a dead look on his face, almost hopeless.
"That's why the Nanman came."
Lin Ye finally understood.
This secret is not located in Jingxian County, but on the mountain not far outside Jingxian County.
The people of Yulingwei have actually been operating in Yunzhou for many years, and framing King Beiye is their top priority in Yunzhou.
Zhang Mingzhi said: "I am from Yu Lingwei. I didn't expect them to be so cruel."
Lin Ye glanced at him.
Zhang Mingzhi: "Yes, I didn't expect it, but it's not unusual for Yu Lingwei to do such a thing..."
Lin Ye said: "From now on, you should not call me Zhang Mingzhi anymore."
Zhang Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he knelt down with a plop.
He understood what Lin Ye meant.
"Fang Zhumo thanked the commander for not killing me."
Lin Ye said: "From today on, you will work with the three of them. How long you can live will be decided by the three of them."
The three of them refer to Mr. Tianji, Monk Hua, and Mu Liuhuo who are beside Lin Ye.
These three people, together with Dafu Dog, have gradually formed a powerful secret guard.
Select people from the Dafu Dogs and give them to these three people for training. Over time, they will have miraculous effects.
Now that there is another Fang Zhumo, Dafu Dog will definitely be able to reach a higher level in its reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance training.
Mu Liuhuo looked at Lin Ye and asked, "Are you trying to find a way to let King Beiye know about this matter?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "Let me think about it for a while."
Because he needed to determine whether this matter was related to Salang.
The secret on the mountain outside Jingxian City is the beast soldiers.
Deep in that mountain, someone was training a large number of fierce beast soldiers.
An Xinling said that there are tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, and pythons and other dangerous animals.
The moment he heard about the beast soldiers, Lin Ye thought of Salang. Until now, Lin Ye had not seen through Salang's true identity or his plot.
if......
Lin Ye guessed that if Salang wanted revenge, Salang would have known long ago that King Kitano was one of the real culprits behind the scenes.
So, the tricks Yu Lingwei created in the mountains are most likely related to Sarang.
Lin Ye remembered the knife and snake that Mr. Qian left for him in Dongbo.
Salang said he was afraid of snakes, but there was a huge loophole in this.
If he is really afraid of snakes, and the red snake has returned to its wild nature and has never been able to leave Beiting Mountain, there is no other possibility except that it is controlled by Salang.
The red snake was trained by Master Qian. After returning to its wild nature, it became too ferocious and was difficult for Sarang to control. This may be true.
It is true that Salang knows how to tame animals.
If it is speculated that Sarang is trying to deal with Beiye King Tuoba Lie, then he also has a dual identity... no, a third identity.
One is from Lin Ye's side, the second is from King Beiye's men, and the third is from Yu Lingwei. Salang came back from Dongbo again, and so did Wan Cangce.
Therefore, Salang's identity is most likely that of the mysterious Choosing Si Yu Lingwei.
Inform King Kitano and ask him to react immediately and have a head-on conflict with Yu Lingwei.
This is of course what Lin Ye wants to see, but will it harm Sarang?
Just as he was thinking about this, Fang Zhumo suddenly said: "If we all know, I don't believe that King Beiye doesn't know."
Lin Ye looked towards Fang Zhumo.
Fang Zhumo said: "I don't know Beiye King, but I firmly believe that whoever underestimates Beiye King will definitely suffer a big loss."
Lin Ye nodded.
Yu Lingwei has been planning and investigating in Yunzhou for more than ten years. If there is really evidence of King Kitano's rebellion, would they go to such great lengths to frame the crime in the mountains?
The complexity of this matter is that Shangyang Palace also came forward.
Judging from Mr. Xin's attitude, he seems to dislike Yu Lingwei.
But when the Southern Barbarians came, they should be targeting the beast soldiers in the mountains. When it comes to taming animals, no one is better than the Southern Barbarians tribe.
Lin Ye took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down more.
The first thing to consider is why Mr. Xin came.
Is the purpose of Mr. Xin's visit to witness Beiye King's rebellion, or is Shangyang Palace unwilling to let Dayu lose the northern border barrier?
Shangyang Palace has always had its own way of doing things, and it has never blindly obeyed the emperor's will.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye's heart suddenly tightened.
What to do today?
Stabilize the imperial power.
For these four words, he resorted to all possible means, even at the cost of infamy.
First destroy the powerful officials, then the brothers and frontier generals. The third step should be to suppress and weaken Shangyang Palace's status.
Therefore, now that Mr. Xin has arrived in Jing County, will it be Shangyang Palace's counterattack against the emperor?
This situation is beyond imagination.
"Lord Commander."
Fang Zhumo said: "Although I don't know why the Commander is at odds with Yu Lingwei, and I don't know what your real purpose is, I would like to advise you that at this moment, the most correct thing to do is to sit down.
Watching tigers fight from the mountains.”
Lin Ye looked at him and Fang Zhumo said: "I am a person who is afraid of death. I am alert to danger."
Lin Ye: "You are a person who is afraid of death. Don't you think that if you stay by my side and work in the future, you may die at any time?"
Fang Zhumo said: "Sir, what you said... seems like I can live if I don't stay with you and do things now."
Lin Ye said: "What you said sounds true... Then let's do what you said first and let's see about this for now."
Fang Zhumo was obviously relieved.
He really didn't know what Lin Ye wanted to do, but he could see that Lin Ye was the weakest among these forces.
A Beiye King, a Yu Lingwei, a Shangyang Palace...
Lin Ye said: "You stay here for now. If anything happens, I will send someone to tell you."
After saying a few words, he immediately left the darkroom.
In the city.
Wan Cangce was sitting there with a calm face, and no trace of displeasure could be seen.
A subordinate carefully changed the dressing on his face. The wounds caused by the belt did not look so fatal, but it was really painful when the dressing was changed.
The gauze will stick to the wound, and every time the dressing is changed, the moment the gauze is torn off, the flesh will be pulled away.
But Wan Cangce remained indifferent.
He is also thinking.
What is the attitude of Shangyang Palace?
If Shangyang Palace really clearly chooses to side with Tuoba Lie, then no matter how careful your majesty's plan is, it will be useless.
Because the influence of Shangyang Palace was so great that His Majesty had to give in.
Now it seems that Wu Lingwei is not worth caring about at all.
If Shangyang Palace faces His Majesty and chooses to fight, what can His Majesty do?
Destroy Shangyang Palace?
That's impossible, absolutely impossible.
Just as he was thinking about this, suddenly his subordinates from outside ran in quickly.
"Sir, there is someone outside who wants to see you. It is... someone from King Kitano."
Wan Cangce's expression changed.
At this time, Tuoba Lie's people came directly to the door. What does it mean?
The subordinate looked at his face and asked, "Sir, are you seeing me or not?"
Wan Cangce thought for a moment and nodded: "Let him come in."
Not long after, Tuoba Lie's trusted general Yuan Qingze stepped through the door and clasped his fists towards Wan Cangce: "Your Majesty, Commander."
Wan Cangce quickly returned the gift. At least, he could not appear too targeted on the surface.
In terms of rank, Yuan Qingze is now the commander-in-chief of the First Army, with a rank of fourth rank, which is half a rank higher than him.
"I'll just say it straight."
Yuan Qingze sat down and said: "The general received a secret report that a large number of Lou Fan's spies sneaked into Yunzhou at some unknown time."
He looked at Wan Cangce and said: "I was ordered to come to investigate, and I happened to know that your Yu Lingwei team was also here, so I came here to ask for help. After all, Yu Lingwei is better at investigating this kind of thing."
Wan Cangce said: "General, please explain carefully."
Yuan Qingze said: "The general has learned that in the past year, many Lou Fan spies have been traveling around Yunzhou disguised as Dongbo merchants."
"They bribed a group of officials and hid a lot of weapons, armor, gold and silver treasures in the goods and smuggled them to Yunzhou."
"There are various signs that the secret agent Lou Fan is secretly supporting the rebels. The rebels should be nearby."
Wan Cangce frowned.
Whether these things were true or false, he couldn't decide at the moment.
However, King Kitano sent someone to see him directly and asked him to assist in the investigation, and he had no reason to refuse.
"so......"
Wan Cangce said: "I will send people back to Geling now to ask for instructions from the governor."
Yuan Qing smiled and said, "That's not necessary."
He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wan Cangce: "This is a letter written by Lu Zhenfu. The commander can read it. You should recognize the meaning of the Zhenfu."
Wan Cangce was stunned again by these words.
How can this be?
Master Lu is in Yunzhou, has he been exposed?
He quickly opened the letter and confirmed that it was Lu Gang's handwriting.
Yuan Qingze said: "By coincidence, Mr. Lu happens to be in Yunzhou City, so my general visited in person and obtained Mr. Lu's consent."
"this......"
Wan Cangce stood up and walked around the room holding the letter. He couldn't figure out the situation now.
Yuan Qingze said: "The situation is urgent. If you don't have anything urgent to do now, please make arrangements as soon as possible."
Wan Cangce asked: "Where should I check?"
Yuan Qingze replied: "The place I know now, where it is confirmed that there are Lou Fan spies and rebels, is Linmanting City."
Wan Cangce was shocked. He subconsciously felt that this was something strange.
Yuan Qingze said: "A while ago, Yu Lingwei investigated the case of Prince Cheng's rebellion. The principal and accomplices have been killed, but... now it seems that the traitors have not been cleared away."
"Based on the information we received, we speculate that a large number of people pretending to be Dongbo traders secretly sent a large number of weapons to Linmanting City, and it didn't happen overnight."
He looked at Wan Cangce: "By the way, I brought a witness this time."
He looked outside and said, "Please come in, girl of ten colors."
