Chapter 37: Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it
The spring breeze blows through Luoshui and Weishui, and also blows thousands of new shoots in Luxianjing.
Winter has gone, farmers in the suburbs of Beijing are busy preparing for spring ploughing, and merchants in the city are also busy stocking up goods. The officials who were released from outside the country had already embarked on their journey, and the officials in Beijing were naturally busy with official business step by step. The new spring naturally has a new atmosphere, but there is a place in Xianjing City that does not change with the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Daxian Guo calmed down the Division, handled the case according to the holy order, did not know the cold and heat, and everything in the department was in order.
But today it was quite noisy, flying feather guards in and out, and Li Mu, who had an iron face, sat on the throne of the commander. On both sides of it, there stood the elite of the Zhenfu Division, who usually never lowered their heads, and they were all buried deep at this time.
How could Li Mu not be angry when the important evidence in the case of He Ruowang disappeared from the Department of Suppression and Pacification? Since he took charge of the Department of Suppression and Pacification, although there have been occasional cases that have not been thoroughly investigated and handled, there is absolutely no possibility of theft of evidence in the department. The Zhenfu Division of Flying Feather Guards must not only be skilled, but also have absolute innocence and reliability before they are hired.
Li Mu swept over the heads of these people one by one, wanting to see some clues from them. He could feel the trepidation, but he couldn't find the slightest hint of the anomaly.
"Again, before the theft of the evidence, were there any unusual things or unusual people?" Li Mu's voice was cold, and every word was like a sharp knife slashing through the neck of these Fei Yuwei who were the keepers of the evidence.
There was silence for a while, and these people may have thought about the anomaly that had happened before, or they could have wondered what kind of means the commander would use to harvest their lives this time.
"Gift...... Tell...... Big...... People," a voice trembled, visibly in a state of panic.
Say. Li Mu's suppressed anger erupted suddenly.
The man threw himself to his knees. "My lord, there was no outsider visiting the place where the evidence was located that day, but the emperor had visited a few days ago, but when he saw that the lord was not in the department, he left. ”
"Why haven't I heard of Lord Huangfu's visit?" Li Muying's eyes widened slightly, revealing a cold light.
"The Emperor told me that he would find out about the visit. ”
Li Mu did not ask any more questions, but went to the place where the evidence was kept. During the previous investigation, the iron box was intact, the lock was unharmed, but the porcelain cup and manuscript inside were missing.
Now on closer inspection, the iron box and lock are still normal. Li Mu frowned slightly, but immediately unfolded, he remembered a sentence mentioned in the original report, and never thought that it would become a flaw.
Due to the different degrees of importance, the various exhibits in the Department of Suppression are stored in iron boxes with different degrees of tightness. The case of He Ruowang was an extension of the sacrificial case, and its evidence was stored in the iron box of the Tianzi number. The locks of the iron box of the Tianzi number are carefully cast by skilled craftsmen, and the method of each iron box lock is also different, that is, the key is also a different style. Except for his commander of the Zhenfu Division, no one in this world can know the styles of the various iron box locks of Tianzi at the same time, and the Zhenfu Division is also managed separately, and a special person is responsible for the special box.
However, the Huangfu National Teacher may be an exception. At the beginning, in order to recreate a batch of highest-level iron boxes, the National Teacher made a suggestion and provided some patterns, which were finally separated by the Zhenfu Division and handed over to skilled craftsmen to create separately. However, although he knew the original pattern of the lock, he categorically could not make the same key, and he knew that certain changes were made when it was cast.
However, Li Mu Tieqing's face suddenly rained and cleared at this time, and he silently smiled madly. "The cunning national teacher is really a good means. ”
When I was entangled in the contents of the iron box and how to open the lock of the iron box, I never thought that the iron box was no longer the original iron box, and the key was not the original key. The new iron box and the new key can naturally match.
When investigating a case, it is often only to check whether the iron box is damaged or whether the key is damaged, and often ignore the iron box itself.
Now that the matter has been clarified, then Li Mu will no longer hide it, this great constitutional country, in addition to the saint, even if it is a national teacher, he dares to make a move.
However, the stakes were very high, and he immediately entered the palace to face the saint.
It's the Qianqing Palace again, and it's three people again.
Zhao Tianyin's face was as heavy as water, Li Mu stood aside with his hands down, and Huangfu Zhong was already kneeling on the ground.
"Master Guoshi, what justification do you have?" Zhao Tianyin looked at the emperor on the ground.
"Back to the emperor, it is true that the courtier went to worship He Ruowang on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also true that the courtier went to Zhenfu Si to obtain the Starry Sky Cup and the manuscript of the "Guantianlu". Kneeling on the ground, the emperor's heavy answer was not concealed at all.
"Why?" Huang Fu's heavy answer did not surprise Zhao Tianyin, what he wanted to know was the reason.
"John and his ministers are also considered to be classmates, and worship is a common human feeling. As for the starry sky cup, it was my father's beloved thing back then, and after several tosses, it reached the hands of He Ruowang. The minister can't bear to be exiled, and the manuscript of "Guantianlu", the minister is a pity for the talent, and wants to save it for future use. ”
"You want to worship, you want to take the starry sky cup and the "Guantianlu", and tell me that I will naturally follow it, do you need this?"
"If you want to be involved in a major case of rebellion, if the minister asks for it, if the saint agrees, it will definitely damage the prestige of the saint, which is not what the minister thinks. ”
"You're thinking about me at every turn. ”
"The loyalty of the minister has never changed. ”
"The three heroes of the emperor, now you are the only one left, have you ever regretted it?" Zhao Tianyin's topic returned to the past.
"Since taking the vow to follow the Holy One, the minister has never regretted it. ”
"Maybe the original intention has not changed, but it has been covered with the dust of time. That's it, the emperor Fu Guoshi is sick, staying in the national teacher's mansion, not being able to make a will, and not leaving the mansion for half a step. Master Guoshi, can you obey?"
"Obey. ”
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away and slightly depressed, Li Mucai put down his guard. Ever since he entered the palace to face the saint and reported everything he had checked, he raised twelve points of courage. Master Guoshi, that is the thickest pillar of the Constitution Kingdom. Either the Holy Lord will punish himself and protect the national teacher, or he will use thunderous means to subdue the national teacher.
I never thought that the relationship between the saint and the national teacher was just a conversation, although there was no power to show it, but the national teacher was just detained in the palace after all. After all, the saint still remembered the old love and did not mention the case of sacrifice.
After Li Mu retired, Zhao Tianyin and Lao Guitong, who came to serve, walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and the high red palace wall in the distance may be able to block pedestrians, vehicles and horses, but how to cover the gray clouds at dusk above the palace wall. Helpless, the sunset will always leave, and the night will eventually come.
The clouds in Xianjing City are gray, but the clouds in Huaishuo Military Town are black. The cloud is not in the sky, but in the distance.
Shi Jiwei was still in the hangover after the opening ceremony, but was woken up by the cries outside the door. Although my head still hurts, the coolness has penetrated through my heart.
If it's so noisy, something big will happen. Rong Ma has been a soldier all his life, and he immediately got up and put on his armor and rushed out of the captain's mansion.
Sure enough, something big happened.
However, it also made Shi Jiwei faintly excited.
The Golden Horde actually sent troops to attack, and although it was unexpected at this time of spring flowers, it was just used to train troops. The wide moat makes it more and more impregnable from the north wing city to Weiyuan City.
The enemy camp gathered about six miles away, the black banner waving, was the best means to break free from the invisible shackles of the prince.
Shi Jiwei, who is full of fighting spirit, is eager to destroy the enemy army and establish his supreme military exploits. And Duanmu Xu also followed the Shenji Battalion at this time, standing on the wall of Guancheng, looking at the black patch in the distance through the pheasant moat, full of curiosity and desire to fight.
