Zheng Ying came quickly. In the middle of the night, he hurried over and knocked on the small side door of the Anguo Mansion to avoid people. When Zheng Ying entered the door, there was no trace of fatigue on her face, and it didn't look like she was woken up from her sleep in a hurry.

In the middle of the night, you can't pay attention to etiquette like usual, and Zheng Ying didn't ask someone to pass it in advance after entering the door, but directly let the steward who opened the door lead the way to the study.

When Zheng Ying entered the study, Mrs. Mu was taken aback. Old Madam Mu just wanted to stand up and salute him, but Zheng Ying rushed forward in a few steps and personally supported the old lady.

"It's hard work, lord." Mrs. Mu sincerely thanked Zheng Ying: "It's so late, and I still work for the prince to run, and the old man is here to thank His Highness." ”

"The old lady needs no more courtesy." Zheng Ying personally helped the old lady and sent the old lady back to the chair and sat down: "This is what this king should do." Old lady, my father has sent this king to investigate this case thoroughly, and I am afraid that this king will have to visit many times in the future, so you must not always be so polite. Everything is case-oriented, and we won't pay attention to other false courtesies. ”

"Originally, we were supposed to send the news from the north to the prince's mansion, and there was no need to labor the prince to make this trip." Old Madam Mu sighed softly: "It's just this news...... Forget it, the prince should take a look first, and then we will discuss. ”

Mu Hongshang personally picked up the small paper scroll from the desk at this time and handed it to Zheng Ying, when Zheng Ying took the paper scroll, she raised her head and glanced at her, and said one more word: "Jue Ling has already gone to Lord Jiang's mansion to deliver the news." You can rest assured. ”

"Hmm." Mu Hongshang nodded at Zheng Ying: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"There's no need to be so polite." Zheng Ying lowered her head, unfolded the paper scroll in her hand, and replied in a flat tone: "They will be staying nearby these days, if you need them these days, just order them directly." In the future, this matter of delivering the news can be entrusted to them. ”

When Mrs. Mu on the side heard Zheng Ying tell Mu Hongsheng like this, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Zheng Ying carefully. It's a pity that Zheng Ying's expression was too calm, and when he said these words, he didn't even raise his eyelids to glance at Mu Hongsheng's face, it was like an order to discuss the matter, and he couldn't see anything wrong.

Old Madam Mu thought about it, but finally felt uneasy, so she said: "Why is it good to always trouble the guards in the palace of the king." ”

"No trouble." Zheng Ying raised her head, looked at Mrs. Mu, and replied seriously: "Right now, I don't know how many people are staring at the mansion, and the eldest lady and gentlemen go out, but they can't hide the eyes of those who have a heart." That's why the king sent people to wait nearby, and these people were all well-trained, so that they could run errands, but they were more hidden. ”

These words are reasonable, Mrs. Mu thought about it carefully, and she didn't find anything wrong, plus the old lady had just learned the tangible news of her two grandsons, and now the old lady was upset and didn't have the heart to think too much. Therefore, Old Madam Mu nodded and replied, "The prince is still thoughtful. ”

The thin paper scroll brought from the north is very informative. After Zheng Ying hurriedly read it, his brows immediately twisted into a ball, he put the paper scroll back on the desk, and after thinking for a while, he made a surprising decision: "Tomorrow morning, I will ask my father to send troops to surround Princess Rongdi's mansion first, and put Hu Lu Yinghuan and Hu Lu Changrong under house arrest." ”

"Does the prince want to make a false impression of a thorough investigation of Rong Di's spies first?" Mu Hongshang asked.

"My people have been staring at He Wenmao for two days," Zheng Ying said in response, "He went to Changhuan Academy in Qushuifang today. ”

Mu Hongshang is an unmarried girl's house, and she rarely goes out on weekdays, so she doesn't really know what kind of place Qushuifang is. When she heard the name of such a college that she didn't want to do, she was still a little confused.

The other people present had a good idea of the nature of the operation of those academies in Qushuifang. How can it be said that the matter of the happy scene is talked about in front of the unmarried eldest girl, so Mr. Sun subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to remind Zheng Ying.

However, Zheng Ying didn't give Mr. Sun this opportunity, he directly and briefly explained a few words about what the academy in Qushuifang was, as if he had specially explained it to Mu Hongsheng. After explaining, he told everyone in the Anguo Mansion everything that happened in Qushuifang before.

Zheng Ying spread the things in the brothel to their eldest lady and said that Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen were still a little calculating, but after Zheng Ying explained the things in Qushuifang, the gentlemen's attention was immediately diverted.

For a while, there was silence in the study, and the brows of Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen were almost knotted.

"It's actually involved with the Lin family." Mr. Sun muttered to himself: "The Lin family ......"

"People can't be saved, and there is no proof of death." Mu Hongshang was the first to speak: "Even if it is as the prince guessed, General Zhenguo is so impulsive to gamble with our northern defenders this time, it is a person with a heart. But now that the person is dead, there is no way to prove that it is related to He Wenmao. ”

"He Wenmao will not come forward to buy the staff of the Zhenguo General's Mansion by himself." Zheng Ying replied: "Since someone from the Lin family is present today, it is very likely that it is the Lin family who came forward to do this." ”

"What about the guy who drank with the staff? Can you keep an eye on it? Old Madam Mu asked.

"Someone has been sent to keep an eye on it." Zheng Ying replied: "In order to avoid startling the snake, no one has been arrested for the time being." But this king guessed that this man should have only been hired to kill the mouth, and his knowledge was limited, and he might not be able to tell who the employer was. ”

"That's still useless." Mu Hongshang looked a little disappointed.

"Not necessarily." Zheng Ying shook her head: "At the moment, He Wenmao is cautious and cautious, but this is too cautious but there are also disadvantages, in order to protect their own safety, the process of doing things is very complicated, there are many intermediate links, and there must be a lot of people who handle it, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us." ”

"What the prince said is extremely true." Mr. Sun nodded: "They can't kill all the handlers, right?" ”

"What this king is worried about right now is something else." Zheng Ying replied: "Jiang Shilang of the military department has assured this king with great certainty that there will be no problem with the ordnance transported to the north, but now the ordnance is lost along with the grain and grass. With 200 truckloads of ordnance, it is much more difficult to dispose of comparable grain and grass. In any case, iron tools cannot be destroyed without a trace. What did they go to such great lengths to take away their ordnance for? ”

"Could it be that He Wenmao has found a way out for himself from the beginning?" Mu Hongsheng opened his mouth and asked: "If even the ordnance is lost, no one can say for sure that there is a problem with the grain and grass of the household." ”

"This king guesses," Zheng Ying replied, "This Zhao Zhiliang is probably also in He Wenmao's calculations." ”
