Half a month later, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who got the news of Xinxin's death, rushed back to Guangling.

After arriving in Guangling, Yang Guang's first royal order was to urgently summon Liang Mo, the general who led the army to protect Tongguangni Temple, to Guangling to meet him, and left two important staff members, Zhang Heng and Pei Yun, to stay in Jiankang to standby.

The reason for this is that Yang Guang received a secret report from Yuwenshu on the way back to Guangling from Zhang Heng and Pei Yun: in the secret report, Yuwenshu not only reported to Yang Guang the process of the second Jiankang assassination incident and the news of Xinyi's death in this assassination incident, but also unabashedly reported the differences between Zhang and Pei after the incident.

It was this secret report from Yuwenshu that made Yang Guang change his mind: he wanted to ask Liang Mo, who had witnessed the assassination of Tongguangni Temple, in person as soon as he arrived in Guangling, so that he could gain an independent judgment on this incident, after all, Xinyi's death was too unexpected for him. He had to quickly shift his full attention from the dispute between the crown prince in the court and the central government to the new changes in Jiangnan.

Liang Mo since the Sui Dynasty raised troops to destroy Chen on the eve of the protection of the Qin King Yang Jun in Jiangling, was praised by the imperial court, promoted to the general, once led the army to guard the Western-style frontier, to guard against the Western Turks, this time when the transfer arrived in Jiangnan, just with the order to return to the court Yang Guang missed, has not yet been met, this time received Yang Guang urgently passed his order, felt that he failed to fulfill the duty of protecting the Tongguang Ni Temple, is with the feeling of Jing to ask for the crime rushed to Guangling to see Yang Guang, so as soon as he saw Yang Guang, that is, knelt on his knees, asked Yang Guang to punish himself.

"General, please get up. On the way back to Jiangnan, this king has received a secret report from the head of Yuwen, and he knows something about the assassination incident in Tongguangni Temple, and knows that this matter has nothing to do with the general, so he urgently sent the general to cross the river to meet him, and also to ask the general about the details of this incident in person, and the general does not have to blame himself, so sit down and talk. Yang Guang hurriedly got up, helped Liang Mo up with both hands, and comforted him gently.

"The last general felt that he had lost the trust of the prince, failed to fulfill his responsibility of support, and had no shame to face the prince. If the prince inquires, the general will tell the truth and will never dare to hide it in the slightest. Liang Mo gently broke free of Yang Guang's outstretched hands and insisted on refusing to get up.

"Well, this king wants you to tell this king carefully about the assassination incident of Tongguang Ni Temple that you have seen, and the more detailed the better." Yang Guang didn't turn around and sat down, just stood in front of him, looked directly at Liang Mo with his eyes, and said.

"Ten days ago, the last general remembered that it was a rainy night, when the last general was entrusted to lead a team of officers and soldiers to be on duty in Tongguangni Temple, responsible for protecting the two nobles who lived in the temple......" Liang Mo knelt straight in front of Yang Guang and began to speak.

"Wait, when did you arrive in Jiankang? Who entrusted him to lead the army to guard outside the Tongguang Ni Temple? At that time, did you know the specific identities and origins of the two people living in the temple? Yang Guang didn't wait for Liang Mo to get to the point, that is, he asked him a series of questions.

"The last general arrived in Jiangnan from the west of Xinjiang a month ago, and after failing to see the prince in Guangling, he crossed the river to Jiankang, and then the Pei Yundu Records Office on the palace temporarily ordered me to lead the army to guard the Tongguangni Temple, and the last general did not know who lived in the temple at that time." Liang Mo answered Yang Guang's question in a few words, and then said, "That night, when it was nearly three watches, the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and the last general led the sergeants to inspect around the Tongguangni Temple, and then returned to the duty room outside the temple gate to prepare to sleep, and heard someone shouting loudly in the temple, so he immediately led people out of the duty room, to open the temple door, and shouted many times in a row, no one in the temple came to open the temple door, and the last general was anxious, so he climbed over the wall, and took the lead in the temple alone, wanting to see what was happening in the temple. As soon as he entered the temple, he rushed straight to the upper room of the second courtyard, and he didn't want to step into the door of the second courtyard, and bumped into an assassin head-on......"

"You collided head-on with the Assassin?" Yang Guang's eyes widened and he asked, "Can you see that person's appearance clearly?" ”

"That person has already died under the sword of the last general, and the head of Yuwen ordered someone to draw a picture of him and post it inside and outside Jiankang City, but unfortunately the identity of this person has not been found out so far." Liang Mo replied to Yang Guang briefly, and continued, "In hindsight, this assassin was obviously covering for his accomplices, and deliberately escaped through the main gate, and met the last general at the gate of the second courtyard. Unexpectedly, this person's kung fu was really good, and he fought with the last general in the second courtyard for a full quarter of an hour with a steel knife, before the last general saw a flaw in his moves, and slashed him in the back of the heart with a sword, resulting in his life. ”

After the last general beheaded the assassin with his sword, he faintly heard the soldiers open the temple gate and enter the temple, when the last general was worried that the two nobles would be injured by the assassins, he did not dare to delay in the slightest, rushed to the door of the two upper rooms, broke in, and rushed into the upper room on the left. Fortunately, the younger nobleman who lived in this room slept soundly on the bed, still snoring slightly from his mouth and nose. ”

"In other words, at that time, you found that Sima Luo was still asleep and did not wake up?" Yang Guang asked in surprise.

And so it is. Not only was she still asleep, but the last general rushed into another upper room, and the girl who lived in the same room as the older nobleman who had been assassinated was also asleep, not realizing that the person who lived in the same room was dead in front of the bed. Based on this, the last general concluded that after the assassin infiltrated the temple, he must have used incense to charm the three people living in the upper room, and then killed one of them alone. However, what General Ling still can't figure out is that the assassinated Shitai was not assassinated by the assassin on the bed where he slept, but fell to the ground in front of the bed, and Pei Duji's room also came to the conclusion that this Shitai committed suicide. ”

"You have to be more detailed. When you find two people in the other upper room, one of them is asleep and the other is dead in front of the bed, where is her injury? Besides, you just said that the Assassin you killed in the courtyard was covering for his accomplices, so where did the other Assassin escape? Yang Guang tightened his eyebrows, ignored Liang Mo's analysis and judgment, and reminded him to tell the scene of the assassination in more detail.

When the last general entered the room, and found someone lying on the ground in front of the couch, he approached and leaned down to investigate, and saw that she was wounded in the chest, and the wound was still bubbling with blood, and he stretched out his hand to test his nose, and he was no longer breathing. When he looked up and saw that the back window of the room had been opened, he immediately realized that the assassin had escaped from the back window, so he immediately chased him out of the window. However, the last general searched every corner of the temple's backyard and found no trace of another assassin. When they turned back to the upper room, the sergeants also found the dead and woke up the girl who was in the same room. The last general was unwilling to let the murderer flee like this, and after ordering his sergeants to report the news to the chief of Yuwen as soon as possible, he personally led people to search carefully along the outer courtyard wall of Tongguangni Temple, trying to find the traces left by the assassins. ”
