Chapter Twenty-Six: Tracing the Temptation

Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo, who was contemplative, and stepped forward to talk about the hippie smile, wondering what he had discovered.

Mu Chenmo ignored him and thought to himself, why is this person so shameless, he just did something to rob the merit, and now he is the same as no one, he is really shameless and invincible in the world.

Mu Chenmo thought as he walked, if Gu poison went down in the river, why would some people who bathed in a river have something to do, and some would be fine.

After walking two or three miles upstream along the small river, Mu Chenmo suddenly stopped, squatted down to take a closer look, and then looked around again.

Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo's movements very puzzled, squatted down to look at the place where Mu Chenmo had just looked, and saw that the bare grass the size of a palm in this field was already dead and black, and Qi Yu also looked carefully at every place where Mu Chenmo squatted and didn't see the reason.

Looking up, I saw Mu Chenmo coming to a big tree, turning around under the tree and flying up the tree, looking at Mu Chenmo's movements, Qi Yu guessed that he must have found something.

Mu Chenmo got down from the tree and turned around and walked in the direction of the barracks, Qi Yu immediately followed and wanted to ask when he saw it, looking at Mu Chenmo with a pensive face, he didn't dare to disturb him.

Back in the barracks, Mu Chenmo found Deputy General Zhang, saying that he wanted to check the relics of the deceased, and was told that they were all stored in Dr. Zhou, and Mu Chenmo thanked him and left.

When I came to the military doctor's tent, I saw the big man who was bitten by leeches in the afternoon surrounding Dr. Zhou, begging Dr. Zhou to take a good look at him.

Mu Chenmo said to Dr. Zhou that he wanted to check the relics of the deceased, and Dr. Zhou turned around to get it.

Mu Chenmo stepped forward to look at the big man curiously: "Will it turn into human skin if it is bitten?" ”

"The little Hanzi in one of our villages was bitten first, and then he had a fever after he didn't take it seriously, and his body was getting thinner and thinner day by day, and I took care of him for a few days. Alas! The man sighed hesitantly.

Qi Yu looked at the man arrogantly when he heard this: "If you have something to say, let it go, don't be like a girl." ”

"Alas, two days before the accident, Xiao Hanzi happily told me that he was developed and wanted to build a house for his family." Dahan sat down and dug at his waist.

Mu Chenmo watched him take out a silver ticket of fifty taels.

"Oh, this is what he gave me, and I have a troubled conscience when he dies, and I am ready to send it back to his family." Dahan said regretfully.

Mu Chenmo looked at the silver ticket that Dahan took out, and saw that it was written on it and printed by Tongbao Qianzhuang.

Qi Yu also came over: "Yo, Tongbao Qianzhuang." ”

While several people were chatting, Dr. Zhou took the relics of the deceased: "If you come a few days late, these will be sent back to their home." ”

Mu Chenmo looked through it carefully and found that there were more than a dozen sets of gray clothes, black cloth shoes, and six small money bags, and when I opened it, I saw that there were twenty taels or fifty taels of silver tickets issued by Tongbao Qianzhuang, as well as seven family letters, which almost meant that he was going to soar, and he could let his family live a good life in the future.

After carefully questioning Dahan and Dr. Zhou, I learned that the silver ticket was not issued by the military camp.

Mu Chenmo said to Doctor Zhou that he would check these silver tickets, and send them back tomorrow to Tongbao Qian Zhuang, Qi Yu immediately followed.

came to the money village, Qi Yuniu coaxed to find the shopkeeper, and under coercion and temptation, he learned that the person who cashed out the silver ticket was the housekeeper of the palace of Lord Sun of Yushitai.

Mu Chenmo walked towards the general's mansion and wondered if it was the collusion between the court officials and the people of southern Xinjiang, but because there was no evidence, he decided to visit Lord Sun's mansion at night.

Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo with understanding, turned around and left to go to the palace.

When night fell, Mu Chenmo changed into night clothes, flew to Sun's mansion, walked around the mansion, found the housekeeper's residence, climbed to the roof and opened a tile to look at the situation inside.

I saw the butler sitting at the dining table with four dishes and a pot of wine, and a set of utensils opposite, humming a little tune and waiting for someone.

The door opened, and the housekeeper hurriedly got up and let one person to the other side: "Master Liu, I've done everything, see if my share should also be given to me." ”

Mu Chenmo followed the voice and saw that it was the ghost hand Liu, could it be related to the four princes.

Just watched the ghost hand Liu and the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion drink while asking him to follow the master well, and threw a money bag for him to get up and leave.

Mu Chenmo moved the open roof tile back and got up to keep up, and saw the ghost hand Liu all the way cautiously came to a small courtyard with two entrances, and knocked on the door three long and two short.

A Miao woman opened the door and ghost hand Liu flashed in, and the Miao woman looked left and right and closed the door.

"The Holy Maiden is resting." Ghost hand Liu asked the Miao woman beside him.

The woman shook her head and opened the door of the house, only to see a Miao girl in full costume, sitting in the house and playing with a small cyan snake in her hand.

"The plan failed, didn't it?" The Miao girl asked the ghost hand Liu.

Ghost Hand Liu stood aside in embarrassment: "Originally, the Gu poison had already entered their bodies, but the Gu had a seizure, and only the thirteen people who were in the Gu died." ”

"Damn Gu Han, what the hell does he want to do, he always ruins my plan." The Miao girl gritted her teeth.

Ghost Hand Liu whispered with the girl for a while, and the girl handed him a box and asked him to go back.

Mu Chenmo followed the ghost hand Liu out of the girl's courtyard, walked to the hidden place, and a hand knife stunned him, picked up the box and brought it back to Dali Temple.

After all kinds of interrogations were used overnight, the ghost hand Liu only confessed that he was instructed by Lord Sun to collude with the Miao people, plot to poison the soldiers, shake the morale of the army, and prepare for the joint attack of Southern Xinjiang and the Xiongnu on Daqi.

I took the box and shook it first, there was a slight noise, and then I opened it to see that it was a leech that I saw from Dr. Zhou, but it was only alive.

Mu Chenmo hurriedly closed the box, thinking that it seemed that this human skin Gu poison case had a close relationship with the four princes, but the four princes did not leak a drop of water, and there was no evidence that he was implicated.

On the morning of the second day, after the court retreated, the emperor announced that Mu Chenmo went to the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Qi Yu stood inside and looked at Mu Chenmo triumphantly.

"Father, I said yesterday that the person who went down to Gu is Sun Qide of Yushitai, why don't you arrest him today." Qi Yu said to the emperor a little anxiously.

"Listen to Lao Qi and say that you have found the person who has fallen into the Gu." The emperor looked at Mu Chenmo and said.

As soon as Mu Chenmo guessed Qi Yu, he knew that this person wanted to steal the credit.

"Your Majesty, last night Weichen had already caught a suspect and found a live Gu worm." Mu Chenmo bowed and said.

Qi Yu jumped to his feet: "Impossible, obviously you will go back to the General's Mansion when we separated yesterday." ”

The emperor took a look at the unreasonable Qi Yu and drove him out.

"Chenmo, tell me the details of this case." The emperor urged Mu Chenmo.

Mu Chenmo reported all the cases found to the emperor one by one and took out the seized Gu worms.

The emperor just wanted Gonggong Cao to present it, but Mu Chenmo hurriedly stopped it with a respectful face.

"How can the emperor be suspected of being a daughter, it is extremely poisonous than Gu, and I hope that the emperor will hand it over to the Tai Hospital for processing."

The emperor was very satisfied when he heard this, and he gave birth to a heart to test Mu Chenmo.

"Chenmo, I heard from the fourth child that you got the book of Benqi." There was a hint of coldness in the emperor's eyes, and he said with a smile on his face.

As soon as Mu Chenmo heard it, he remembered what Qi Yu said, "Those who win the prince will win the world", and knew that the four princes did not give themselves less eye medicine, and the emperor must be afraid of him in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you can talk about the "Taigong Art of War". Mu Chenmo bowed and saluted.

The emperor looked at Mu Chenmo: "Oh, you have read it." ”

"Wechen has been studying this book since he got it." Mu Chenmo replied truthfully.

"I don't know if there's anything to be gained." The emperor squinted and asked Mu Chenmo.

Mu Chenmo looked at the emperor honestly: "There are six volumes of "The Art of War", and the ministers can only read its superficial meaning now. ”

"Then tell me what you understand." The emperor seemed to be encouraging, but in fact said tentatively.

"Respect the king like the sun and the moon, kiss the king like parents, have a country to have a home, and give up your life for the country." Mu Chenmo replied respectfully.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and looked at Mu Chenmo with a gleam in his eyes: "What will happen if Chenmo lets you take over the position of protector general." ”

"I will not hesitate to smear the emperor's liver and brain, I am willing to be the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, where the emperor points to fight, he will never disagree, and swear to defend Daqi to the death."

Mu Chenmo knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor respectfully, proving his loyalty to the emperor.
