Chapter 56
"Mo Lao...disappeared the day before yesterday...the logistics soldier of the Warehouse Management Battalion..." Mu Junze read the key information that the general had just said, and remembered Wu Shixian's understatement when he reported it. He always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in it.

"This Mo Lao...how did he enter the barracks?" Mu Junze grasped the key point at once.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it's a coincidence that a month ago, there was a shortage of a cook in the military camp. He came here to recommend himself, tried it, and his cooking skills were good, so he kept it."

"When did General Wu know about this?" Mu Junze asked again.

The general thought for a while and said, "It was before the assassination of the general's mansion yesterday."

Mu Junze frowned: "You mean, before the general's mansion was assassinated, General Wu was in the barracks?"

"Exactly." The general replied: "The general has been busy investigating in the barracks, but after learning the result that day, he returned home suddenly and was assassinated unexpectedly."

After hearing this, Mu Junze became more and more suspicious, so he ordered the general to find the soldiers who had returned to the mansion with General Wu that day, and said that they had done a good job in protecting the Lord, and wanted to reward them.

General Shen responded and went to do it. As soon as he left the camp, he happened to meet General Wu and was about to salute, so Wu Shixian waved him to go.Wu Shixian didn't know what King Yan wanted to do, but he was glad that the soldiers who followed him were all loyal and had unified their tone, and he only hoped that nothing would go wrong.

Just now Master Yuanxiang had already delivered the boiled medicinal soup to the poisoned soldiers one by one, and after half an hour, the effect of the medicine would be seen. This was a surprise to Wu Shixian, no matter what King Yan suspected What, he remembered this kindness.

As for the other giver of this kindness, he was directly ignored by him and has already been thrown into prison.

In the prison cell in Ziyang City, the door opened with a "bang dang", and a newcomer came in.

Accompanied by the sound of the jailer's boots stepping on the stone road, a delicate woman was brought in.The prisoners, who had long been accustomed to newcomers, couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times when they saw the woman's appearance.I saw her picturesque eyebrows and light steps, and what is even more amazing is that there is no decadence on her face, but a sense of calmness and calmness on the contrary.

Walking all the way to the innermost room, the cell door opened, and Luo Wushuang walked in by himself.Qu Zhenzhen, who was locked next to her, immediately ran to the iron fence and asked anxiously, "Sister Wushuang, haven't you found the antidote?"

When Luo Wushuang saw that Qu Zhenzhen was here, and saw Master Bai and Pavilion Master Li on the opposite side, he felt uncomfortable, as if it was worse than imprisoning himself.She looked at Qu Zhenzhen, then at Master Bai and the others, and murmured: "Sister Zhenzhen, Master... Pavilion Master... I... I have dragged you down! If you don't use mosquito repellent incense, I'm afraid it won't be so bad." There's a lot going on."

"Luo Wushuang, we are all from Tianxiang Pavilion. If you say that you are a drag or not, you will share weal and woe anyway, so don't blame yourself!" Qu Zhenzhen blurted out without thinking, and then asked hastily: "Have you found the antidote? Can the Major General survive?"

"Found it." Luo Wushuang lowered his head and said, "They may have woken up at this moment."

After hearing this, let alone Qu Zhenzhen, even Bai Huijin and Pavilion Master Li felt inconceivable: "If that's the case, why are you locked in?"

This is also the question that Luo Wushuang has been thinking about. She shook her head and said, "I don't know." After thinking for a while, she said, "It's the emperor's will, but I always feel... General Wu doesn't seem to want to know the truth."

"How do you say that?" Pavilion Master Li on the opposite side couldn't help asking.

Luo Wushuang thought about it, and explained in a voice that happened to be audible to a few people nearby: "When we went to the Youlan black market to find an antidote, we happened to come across a belladonna flower that was being auctioned. The owner of this belladonna flower turned out to be Mo Xin—the one who entered the last round of the competition and was behind me. I remembered later that I went to the military camp with Master Ji and Qu Zhenzhen to send him off. I saw him near the warehouse management camp when I bought mosquito coils, but I didn’t remember who it was at the time, so I didn’t pay attention.”

"So, you mean that this Mo Xin is the one who poisoned him?" Qu Zhenzhen couldn't help but interjected.

Luo Wushuang nodded and continued: "Although I don't have full evidence, I'm sure it must be him. He has both the ability and the opportunity to poison, but it's not clear what his motive is. "

Having said this, Luo Wushuang looked up at them, and said with regret: "But when I mentioned this to General Wu, he immediately put me in prison and didn't give me a chance to explain...it's like...he Not at all interested in this suspect."

After Luo Wushuang finished speaking, several people fell into deep thought.

Qu Zhenzhen said to herself: "He is not interested? How could he not be interested? This matter is related to the safety of his imperial army and the life of his own son! Could it be that he doesn't care about these at all? Or, he has already Did he know the truth? Or... he decided that we were the murderers at all?"

In fact, Luo Wushuang had thought about these hypotheses, but in the end they all denied them one by one.She could see that old general Wu was nervous about the young general and the imperial army, but she must be missing a link to the truth of the whole thing.

And when Luo Wushuang and the others were pondering General Wu's abnormal attitude in the prison, some disturbances occurred outside Tianxiang Pavilion.

The money steward of the Qu family was at the gate of Tianxiang Pavilion, and insisted on seeing Qu Zhenzhen, the daughter of the Qu family, but the door boy Axi said that there are no ladies here, only one named Qu Zhenzhen, but she is not in Tianxiang Pavilion. Where he did not know.

Steward Qian was ordered by the head of the family to come to find Miss to go home and explain something. Now that he can't see anyone, how can he leave?Insist on going in and looking for it.

Ah Xi couldn't stop him, so he had to send people to the cabinet to find Deacon Yan to deal with it.

In Tianxiang Pavilion, few people actually know Qu Zhenzhen's identity, but Pavilion Master Li and Deacon Yan both know.As soon as Deacon Yan heard the news, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the door. At this time, many people had gathered at the door of Tianxiang Pavilion.

Seeing Deacon Yan, Steward Qian immediately came to question why he couldn't bring him out.Deacon Yan is in a dilemma. This incident involves Tianxiang Pavilion and the Forbidden Army, so it should be kept secret, but now that the Qu family is asking for someone, if he can't hand it over, the other party will definitely not let it go.

Deacon Yan dragged Steward Qian into the inner hall, ordered someone to serve good tea, then turned around and closed the door.Seeing him like this, Steward Qian immediately stood up and asked, "Deacon Yan, what happened?"

Deacon Yan looked sad, and leaned closer and whispered: "Steward Qian, to tell you the truth, this time Tianxiang Pavilion was involved in a case involving the Forbidden Army Battalion. The other incense disciples were taken away by General Wu of the Forbidden Army... According to the latest news I received, they are now imprisoned in the prison in Ziyang City."
