Chapter 116 The Incompetent
When the spy guard went down with the tray, King Mu turned his gaze to Zeng Mingzhi, who was startled and quickly lowered his head.

"Prefect Zeng." Staring at Zeng Mingzhi, King Mu called out in a deep voice.

Zeng Mingzhi hurriedly cupped his hands in response, "The next official is here."

"You followed Qin Yi's strategy with great success. Therefore, the bandits were able to disintegrate and Jiao Mao was captured. You have a little credit." King Mu said slowly.

Zeng knew that he was silent, and there was no joy on his face.

He knew that King Mu didn't want to see him, so he praised him at this time, but it was only for the purpose of belittling him later.

From the treatment just now, he already knows what kind of position he is in the heart of this decisive prince.

Wrong people!

"With all these credits, why can't you be promoted?" King Mu's voice turned cold suddenly, and he asked word by word, "But can you tell me why the prison was washed with blood?"

"Why Jiao Mao, as the leader of the bandit, died for no apparent reason?"

"Why haven't you told me so far, who did it?"

Hearing Mu Wang's cold words, Zeng Mingzhi's heart trembled a few times, his head drooped, and he didn't dare to speak out.

He also regretted a little, why didn't he strengthen the prison's defenses.

If there is no such stain, he can also sit down with Qin Yi at this time and discuss meritorious deeds and rewards.

Thinking of this, his heart is almost bleeding.

"It has been a few days since Jiao Mao was killed. Can you tell me how the case is going?" King Mu stared at Zeng Mingzhi, making the latter feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His eyes are so cold, extremely sharp!

Knowing that he didn't dare to hide anything, Zeng quickly replied, "It's useless to report to the lord, and the case has not progressed. The only way for the lower officials to ask Qin Yi for help is to learn the clues of the criminals picking up crossbow arrows from the Yinlian Valley."

Hearing this, King Mu looked at Qin Yi in surprise. He didn't expect that Qin Yi not only had excellent strategy and martial arts, but also had the ability to investigate.

This son is really extraordinary.

Immediately, he looked at Zeng Mingzhi and asked, "After that, is there any progress?"

On Zeng Mingzhi's forehead, a bean-sized bead of sweat appeared, and he shook his head bitterly.

"Trash!" King Mu scolded angrily.

Zeng knew that he was extremely terrified, "I know I was wrong, please calm down the prince!"

"Hmph!" King Mu snorted coldly, "Incompetent, your faults will be judged by His Majesty!"

Zeng Mingzhi nodded repeatedly, with a panicked face, not daring to argue.

King Mu turned his eyes away and stopped looking at Zeng Mingzhi.

He knew that this group of trash in the government office was completely useless, and he had to rely on the spy guards he had brought to find out who had washed the prison with blood.

Jing Xun and Zeng Mingzhi, who were punished and reprimanded, Quan Shenhan knew that it was his turn next.

He bent over more and more, adopting a posture of extreme humility.

"General Quan." King Mu looked at Quan Shenhan, his eyes flickering sharply, "The day the bandits attacked the city, you left the city without authorization, can you tell me what happened?"

Qin Yi, who was sitting still, became excited when he heard King Mu's question.

Jing Xun and Zeng knew that being punished was not what he wanted to see. After all, one was because he liked him, and the other was because he liked him.

And Quan Shenhan was punished, that's good to hear.

Although he had been back for a few days, he had never met Quan Shenhan face to face, but Qin Yi still felt terrified when he recalled the other party's ambush in the woods that day.

If it wasn't for him taking a slanted sword and deceiving the other party with a lie that he knew everything, I'm afraid he would be a dead body at this time.

So in the past few days, he has been thinking about how to get rid of this old silver coin as soon as possible.

Facing King Mu's question, Quan Shenhan quickly responded, "Reporting to King Mu, the last general left the city that day because he learned that the escort troops were attacked, and he expected that the bandits were all in the Yinlian Valley and had no time to come to the city to make trouble, so he led the crowd. Go to support."

"Even so, the last general still left two hundred soldiers. Presumably these soldiers should have put in a lot of effort when suppressing the bandits in Fucheng." Quan Shenhan continued.

Shameless... Qin Yi secretly slandered.

This guy is not only an old silver coin, but also shameless, and he takes all the credit for it.

If he hadn't predicted that there were bandits outside the execution ground and sent people to eliminate them first, otherwise the execution ground would be controlled by the left-behind soldiers, and the bandits outside would burn, kill and loot, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that time, the punishment Quan Shenhan will face will be more serious.

King Mu frowned, and asked displeasedly, "No military order, no unauthorized movement by the garrison, do you know this decree?"

Quan Shenhan nodded, with a sincere face, "The general will know, but the military situation is urgent, if..."

"Do you know?" Mu Wang shouted coldly, interrupting Quan Shenhan's sophistry.

Quan Shenhan pursed his lips and could only nod his head, "The general will know."

"It's fine if you know it. You have violated the law. If you capture Jiao Mao back, you can make amends. But have you done it?" King Mu was a little disdainful.

He kept talking about support, but the person escorting the troops said so, and only saw Quan Shenhan's troops when they returned to the city.

What has this guy been doing for such a long time?
If the spy guards hadn't investigated in advance, they would have really been deceived by this fellow.

"The king is very curious. What did you do after you left the city and before you met the escorting troops? Why did you lose one of your personal soldiers?" King Mu stared at Quan Shenhan and asked slowly.

Quan Shenhan trembled, his eyes suddenly widened!

He lowered his head, trying to suppress his astonishment, but his mind was full of chaotic thoughts.

After working hard for a while, I suppressed the panic in my heart, pretended to look up calmly and said, "When I led the troops out of the city, I learned from the scouts that there were crossbows in the Yinlian Valley. He didn't dare to act rashly, so he led his troops in ambush."

"As for the personal soldiers, what did the lord say?" Quan Shenhan pretended to be puzzled.

"You Rui!" King Mu stared at Quan Shenhan closely, as if he wanted to see the clues from his face, "According to the investigation of the imperial spy guards, when you left the city, there were 43 soldiers by your side. When you returned to the city, There are only 42 people left, and your most trusted You Rui is missing!"

Quan Shenhan was shocked, he didn't expect the spy guards to be so miraculous that they even investigated this.

Could it be that there is a traitor in the team?

He couldn't help worrying, would it be known that he had sent his own soldiers to wash the prison in blood?

But immediately, he felt relieved.

If it had been known, he would have been sent to prison to be executed, instead of standing here to answer questions.

In addition, he was also a little thankful that he did not kill Liu Luo and others just to silence them.If this is the case, the death of thousands of households and the drastic reduction of personal soldiers will definitely not be able to escape King Mu's eyes and ears.

"It's hard to answer?" Seeing that Quan Shenhan hadn't spoken for a long time, Mu Wang frowned and asked.

Qin Yi squinted at Quan Shenhan, his thoughts flashed like lightning.

He was very surprised, he didn't expect that the spy guard brought by King Mu could even find out this.

Therefore, he was curious about what happened to that soldier named You Rui.

This person's death must be tricky, otherwise Quan Shenhan wouldn't have pondered for so long!
