Zhang Mu returned to the post station in a carriage, and as soon as he got off the car, a brocade guard hurriedly came over and said: "Mr. Zhang Qi, something happened, the adults have been waiting for you for a long time, come with me." ”

Zhang Mu hurriedly followed the Jinyiwei back to the Jinyiwei's single courtyard, and directly entered the middle hall, in the middle hall, Jiang Zhengshen sèyīn sank, carrying his hands behind his back, with a sad face.

And there is a stretcher on the ground, there is a corpse covered with a white cloth on one foot, mottled with blood, Zhang Mu lifted the white cloth and took a look, the person lying on it Li Guan, but Li Guan was already out of breath, and there was a fatal knife in his chest, which directly touched the heart and killed him on the spot.

"Master Jiang, where did you find this person?" Zhang Mu asked.

Jiang Zhen said in a deep voice: "Just now I sent someone to Yamen to release his family, but when I came back, I told me that his body was found on the bank of the Dongyang River, ten miles outside Jinhua Mansion. The magistrate of the government is preparing to investigate the case. I had his body brought back. ”

Zhang Mu listened to Jiang Han's detailed words, looked down and saw Li Guan clenching his fists tightly, so he curiously picked it up and took a look, only to find that there seemed to be something in the gap between his fingers.

Zhang Mu hurriedly broke his hand away, only to find that there was a small paper ball inside, and after unfolding the paper ball, he took a look, suddenly gasped, and hurriedly handed it to Jiang Xuan.

After reading it, Jiang Xuan's legs were weak, and he immediately sat on the chair, because the note read: "The pig has arrived in Zhejiang, Yongkang Yan's family" eight big characters.

If the pig is Zhu Yuanzhang, this means that someone has indeed released the emperor's whereabouts, and the appearance of this note in Li Guan's hand is even more meaningful.

"Lord Jiang, what about the people we went to spy on Duan Tiande?" Zhang Mu asked.

"They reported that Duan Tiande never left the house, and only one water truck went out in the morning." Saying this, Jiang Zhen got up and said, "Come on, I'm going to arrest someone." ”

"Adults and slow, now it seems that Duan Tiande killed Li Guan, he must have a problem, but after he killed Li Guan, he did not leave, but continued to stay at home without fear, and speculated that he did not know that Li Guan had been bought by us. And he deliberately put this note in Li Guan's palm and deliberately revealed the news to us, isn't it a little greasy in the middle? Zhang Mu hurriedly said.

Jiang Han said thoughtfully: "You mean, the person who released the news and the person who was preparing to assassinate His Majesty were not a group of people?" ”

"At present, it looks like this, Li Guan has just escaped, how can he get such news? There is only one explanation, and Duan Tiande did it on purpose. He knew that once Li Guan's body was discovered, we, Jinyiwei, would definitely find Li Guan as soon as possible. He wanted to use Li Guan to borrow a knife to kill people! Zhang Mu analyzed.

"There is some truth in what you say, but if he gives us the news, aren't you afraid that we will find Neijiān and disrupt their plans?" Jiang Zhen asked.

Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "My lord, this is exactly his purpose. I guess that it is one wave of forces that release the news, and it is another wave of forces that want to kill His Majesty. However, these two forces do not trust each other. Duan Tiande gave us the news, and he was throwing stones to ask for directions.

If we don't move, Duan Tiande and they must think that this is a plan, a layout, so they won't act, if we catch Neijiān, Duan Tiande They know that Your Majesty came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, at least this is not a trap. That's why they'll have the next move. If Duan Tiande is caught now, he can only startle the snake, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"No, no, no." Jiang Zhen shook his head again and again and said, "What you said is indeed very reasonable, but Your Majesty can't make any mistakes. Take this Duan Tiande first, see what he can spit out, and then secretly find the inside line around His Majesty, and take both forces, which is the right thing. ”

Zhang Mu knew in his heart that Jiang Xuan couldn't afford any risks, he had his considerations, and this was not wrong at the moment and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, if Duan Tiande is the same as Zhang Chi, just a little minion, or, when we were arrested, we committed suicide like Zhao Qianhu, this clue was broken, and the two groups of people were disturbed, and what was even more terrifying was that if the people who were ambushed by His Majesty's side heard the news and jumped over the wall in a hurry, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" ”

Jiang Zhen walked around the room, there were countless cases he had supervised, but this case was undoubtedly the most difficult, and what Zhang Mu said was indeed reasonable, so he turned around and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"First find a way to find out the people who are lying in ambush around Your Majesty, this is the most terrible threat. Commander Mao and His Majesty came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and our Jinyiwei must have secretly come to protect Your Majesty.

Duan Tiande, even if they launched an attack, they might not be able to do it. However, the people who are ambushed by His Majesty's side, if they want to succeed, I am afraid that it will be much easier. I feel that since we don't know who is ambushing His Majesty now, we must tell His Majesty about this matter first. Otherwise, Your Majesty is defenseless, and it is definitely a bad thing. Zhang Mu said with his fists clenched.

Jiang Xuan got up and walked towards the outside of the house, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped again.

Because he doubted that there was an enemy's eyeliner inside the Jinyi Guard, and if so, wouldn't it all be exposed when he went like this? Zhu Yuanzhang was in Yanjiazhuang, and he set off to accompany Du Fengyang, and the Yan family brothers and sisters were by Zhang Mu's side, let Zhang Mu go, and others would not find anything.

Moreover, when he heard in the restaurant that His Majesty appreciated Zhang Mu very much, it was better to give this credit to Zhang Mu, anyway, Zhang Mu was his subordinate, and if Zhang Mu was meritorious, he would be meritorious. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, who knows what Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction will be when he goes? If Zhang Mu had, he would be fine.

After paying attention, Jiang Zhen turned around and said, "Zhang Mu, this official ordered you to go to the Yan family as soon as possible to report the news." However, it is important to remember that this cannot be told to a third person. Even Lord Mao couldn't reveal the slightest rumor, and the official went later. ”

Zhang Mu knew that Jiang Zhen was letting Mao Xiang go, after all, before he found out who released the news, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone was suspicious.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do it without leakage." Zhang Mu said.

"Go get it." Jiang Zhen waved his hand, Zhang Mu hurriedly walked out of the middle hall, went straight to the post station, and after finding the Yan family brothers and sisters, he hurriedly walked towards Yongkang.

On the way, Zhang Mu recalled the history of the Ming Dynasty that he knew, and wondered who might be the traitor lurking around Zhu Yuanzhang, but this year, except for the death of Li Shanchang and the king of Tan, Zhu Zi**, there was really nothing major happening.

Li Shanchang's death has already been concluded by later generations, and he was unjustly killed, so he will not assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is seventy-seven years old, and he is the king and the prime minister, so he will not take this risk.

Zhu Zinai is Zhu Yuanzhang's eighth son, a studious, courteous corporal, and has a good reputation in the court, but he has no reason to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, because the crown prince Zhu Biao is still alive, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to take his turn even if he dies.

What's more, there is also a king of Yan who can fight well, and the king of Yan who launched the battle of Jingyan after rì, and the king of Jin, who is also stationed in the northern Xinjiang, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Zhu Zi wouldn't be stupid enough to be this point.

However, who knows if this Zhu Zi is blinded by lard? Zhang Mu guessed in his heart, and unconsciously, in the afternoon, the carriage entered Yifeng Township.
