Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 409 The Heart of Rebellion!
After returning to Zhanjing, it was already five or six days later. I wanted to enter the palace to persuade the empress, but the military minister sent someone to ask and found out that the forbidden army had already marched to the northeast border and was about to enter Liukang territory. Malaudon didn't say anything, and he wasted a lot of food and grass in vain.

Therefore, Wu Xiang was quite helpless and could only give up the idea of ​​dissuading him.

After returning the imperial army, he returned to the mansion.

Sitting in the study for a while, thinking for a while, Prime Minister Wu got up and said to the servants outside the door, "Send someone to invite Zhang Baihu, and say that there is something wrong with the truth and you have to go out of the city."

The empress dispatched hundreds of spy guards, led by him, to investigate the military crossbow case and blueprint theft.

Although the military crossbow case has been sealed and concluded, Prince Jing, together with the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the director of the utensil warehouse, obeyed Chixinmen's orders and privately sold the raw material beef tendon needed for the production of military crossbows.

However, no clues were found in the blueprint theft case, so Prime Minister Wu did not return the jurisdiction of the hundreds of spy guards. These people still assisted him and continued to investigate the cause of the blueprint theft.

Not long after, Zhang Baihu, the heavy-backed spy guard, came to Wu Xiangfu and asked respectfully, "I don't know what orders Wu Xiang lord has?"

Wu Xiang's eyes became darker, "Let's go out of the city and investigate Prince Jing's manor."

Hearing this, Zhang Baihu was quite surprised.

Hasn't Prince Jing bowed his head already?

Why are you still investigating him?

Although he was puzzled, as a subordinate, Zhang Baihu didn't dare to ask more questions, and quickly responded, "The general will follow orders!"

So, Prime Minister Wu went out of the mansion and got on his horse, took Zhang Baihu and a hundred imperial spy guards, and galloped out of the city.

Back then, when King Jing fled in fear of crime, Prime Minister Wu sent people to investigate Prince Jing's mansion, and later when searching for evidence of crimes, he even turned Prince Jing's mansion upside down.

Therefore, it is certain that Prince Jing's Mansion has no missing clues.

But Prince Jing's mansion is not only Prince Jing's mansion, but also a manor with a very large area in the countryside outside the city.

In the manor here, Prime Minister Wu also ordered the spy guards to investigate carefully.

But afterwards, from Zhang Baihu's mouth, Wu Xiangcai learned that the Imperial Spy Guards had only been there once, and before they searched carefully, they got the news that Prince Jing had been arrested.

Afterwards, the case was finalized and handed over to King Mu. The spy guards could not exceed their authority, so they never went to Prince Jing's manor again.

In this manor, there may be omissions.

Therefore, Prime Minister Wu already had the idea of ​​going to investigate, but his mother was seriously ill, so he had to ask for leave to return to the province, so he had to postpone it.

Now that I am returning to Beijing, this matter should not be delayed any longer, so I just sat down for a while, and immediately led my people to go.

He always felt that the case was full of fog, maybe the real culprit... was not caught!
He galloped on his horse and came to the gate of the city. Prime Minister Wu suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, and many spy guards stood on their horses one after another, waiting quietly.

After pondering for a moment, Prime Minister Wu beckoned, and Zhang Baihu hurriedly rode forward.

Facing Zhang Baihu, Wu Xiang whispered a few words in a low voice. After Zhang Baihu listened, he nodded repeatedly, and immediately called someone to arrange the matter according to Wu Xiang's instructions.

After that, Prime Minister Wu led his people out of the city and continued to the countryside.

After more than an hour, everyone came to Jingwang Manor one mile away.

Seeing the geographical location of this manor, Prime Minister Wu couldn't help frowning.

It is very common for the royal family and nobles to buy mansions in the countryside for hunting and hunting purposes. For example, Marquis Dingjun and the current Duke Ying Guo all have manor houses in the outskirts of the city.

But their mansions are all built on the edge of Zhanshui, where the scenery is excellent, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Not far away is the Royal Manor, which has become a place for prominent people to play.

But this Prince Jing chose to be in a secluded place in the wilderness. Looking around, there was no people, no houses, only a manor here.

It can be seen that Prince Jing chose this place with bad intentions.

What can a secluded mansion be used for?
With this doubt, Wu Xiang led the crowd forward and came to the front of the manor.

Just as he was about to dismount, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a lot of muddy footprints on the stone steps in front of the door.

Wu Xiang's pupils suddenly shrank!
"Did it rain last night?" Wu Xiang frowned and asked.

He arrived in Zhanjing in the early morning and was not here last night.

Hearing the question, Zhang Baihu was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "Indeed, it rained heavily last night, and it stopped early in the morning."

Wu Xiang frowned slightly, glanced around, and found that the mud around him was not muddy.

In the early morning, when the rain stops, the morning sun rises, the water vapor evaporates, and the muddy ground has dried up. The only way to leave muddy footprints is when it rains.

This means that late last night, many people braved the rain and entered the manor, thus leaving these footprints!
Thinking of this, Wu Xiang's heart sank slightly.

Seeing that Prime Minister Wu had been staring at the footprints on the stone steps, Zhang Baihu, as the spy guard, was in charge of reviewing matters, so he was not stupid, and he understood it in an instant, and he became alert in his heart, and quickly said, "Master Wu, Please back off!"

Wu Xiang nodded and retreated slowly, many spy guards rushed forward and surrounded him.

Then, Zhang Baihu took a dozen or so spy guards as the front line, and pushed open the door slowly and quickly.

With a creak, the door opened, and the spy guards and others who had already drawn out their crossbows immediately aimed their crossbows at the back of the door.

But behind the gate, there was no one in the front yard.

Zhang Baihu frowned and looked back at Prime Minister Wu, who nodded.

Zhang Baihu led a dozen or so spy guards into the front yard and walked towards the main hall. Under the protection of everyone, Prime Minister Wu followed slowly.

Not long after, everyone came to the main hall and saw that there was still no one in the hall, but there were still some cups on the table.

Wu Xiang walked over, took a look at the cup, and found that it was filled with tea.

Poured out the tea and carefully observed the wall of the cup, no tea stains were attached, Prime Minister Wu immediately understood.

This cup of tea was not left behind by Prince Jing when he committed a crime.

It has been more than ten days now, if it was left at that time, there must be tea stains.

Maybe, this tea was brewed in the past few days!
Putting down the teacup, Prime Minister Wu nodded, motioning for everyone to go deeper.

Zhang Baihu led the spy guards around the main hall and walked towards the backyard.

Wu Xiang pondered for a moment and decided to follow.

Although he could wait in the hall, he was worried about missing some important details, so he planned to go inside to have a look together.

Along the long corridor, passing through the Moon Cave Gate, Zhang Baihu carefully entered the backyard with dozens of spy guards. When he looked up, he was shocked when he saw the items displayed in the courtyard!

Wu Xiang was about to lead the crowd into the hospital, seeing the horrified expressions of Zhang Baihu and others who were the first to enter the hospital, he couldn't help frowning, and hurried in.

Seeing the things in the courtyard, his pupils suddenly tightened!

The entire backyard is full of military utensils such as long knives, military crossbows, and armor!

Layers!

At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, and someone rushed over!

Listen to the voice, there are many people!

……

Liukang Dynasty, Kangdu Miyagi.

Before dawn, outside the bedroom of Emperor Liukang, many eunuchs were quietly picking up all the broken kites on the ground.

This was the order of the chief eunuch, and many junior eunuchs could only obey, so they woke up early to pick up the kite.

There are no villains painted on these kites, but a line of writing.

These words are exactly the same as the words shouted and cursed by the enemy soldiers outside the city.

It can be seen from this that the enemy soldiers have changed their strategy, and this strategy is very likely to distract Liukang and his subjects.

Therefore, under the instruction of King Zhang, the chief eunuch arranged many small eunuchs to remove these kites as soon as possible, so that they cannot be seen by His Majesty.

In a corner of Miyagi, an eunuch who was picking up a kite by himself held a lantern and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around but himself, he quickly picked up a kite and stuffed it into his clothes.

His movements were extremely flustered. After he was done, he looked around again, and he was relieved when he saw that there was still no one.

Then, he continued to pick up, except for the hidden kite, the rest were handed over to the chief eunuch, who would send someone to burn them all.

……

The sound of footsteps was chaotic and noisy, and in an instant, many people rushed into the courtyard with long knives in their hands, staring closely at Wu and others with killing intent in their eyes.

Many spy guards were shocked, and quickly gathered together, put up a defensive formation, held a military crossbow, and looked around vigilantly.

"Mu Wang!" Angrily, Wu Xiang suddenly turned around, and he really saw a man in brocade clothes standing behind many swordsmen.

It was King Mu!

When he saw these swords, the suspicion that Wu Xiang had aroused for a long time was finally confirmed.

He has been suspicious of King Mu for a long time, but the other party has always acted upright and has not done anything against him, so he dare not be sure.

But now, seeing that the courtyard is full of swords and armor, King Mu's heart is confirmed, there is something wrong!
Regardless of whether these swords were made by King Mu, if he knew about them and didn't report them, he already harbored evil intentions!
What's more, Prime Minister Wu has been able to confirm that the real mastermind of the Junnu case is King Mu, and King Jing is just a scapegoat to confuse the public and cover up the real culprit.

But as a prince, King Jing enjoys wealth and honor, so why would he do something against the law with King Mu?
It's nothing more than conspiracy together, why is King Jing willing to become a scapegoat, sacrifice himself, and let King Mu continue to hide?

This is by no means what persecution can do!
"It's me." Looking at Prime Minister Mu, King Mu said softly, "I didn't expect that you would be so vigilant. After the case was finalized, you would actually lead people here, disrupting my plan."

Wu Xiang reprimanded, "Your Majesty trusts you so much and treats you well, why do you want to seek rebellion?"

Before Qin Yi appeared, in the entire court, the empress trusted most, except for the grand master, was King Mu.

But this wolf is ambitious and doesn't want to repay him, so he dares to plot rebellion!
Slightly squinting, King Mu did not answer, but said, "I know, you have some doubts, before you die, I can clear up your doubts."

"You must have guessed it. That's right. I am the head of the Chixin Sect. Not long after Zhan Qing ascended the throne, I successfully won the trust of the old Sect Master and became the new Sect Master."

"It is because of the Chixinmen that I can hand over all my plans to the Chixinmen for execution, so I hide them without any exposure. Over the years, I have been working hard until now, and finally I have the ability to riot."

"It's a pity, many people who surrendered to me died in the liquidation between you and Qin Yi. It's a pity that they failed to witness my ascension to the throne!"
