Su Mujiu swept over the hall with his spare light, and finally saw the manager in the corner.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she said with a smile: "I do have a clue, Your Majesty." ”

When Tang Huang heard the word "clue", his elated expression suddenly fell.

He said unhappily: "What is the clue?" I'd like to see if you can wash away this guilt!" ”

Tang Huang's meaning is too obvious, he completely regards Su Mujiu as a guilty person, and he is a guilty person who can't get rid of his guilt.

"Your Majesty, that day, the two of us found the wombat's cave on the mountainside, and the evidence is in the wombat's cave." Su Mujiu's voice was very soft, but the words were clear.

Tang Huang, who was still sitting in a chair, heard the strange species of wombat, his body straightened up, and his eyes were full of doubt.

"Your Majesty, wombats are a unique creature in Wushan, good at digging holes, their caves are generally up to three zhang deep, about twenty inches wide, this mountain fire is raging, it hides in the cave, it can save its life." The prime minister saw Tang Huang's doubts, so he took the initiative to stand up and answer his questions.

Emperor Tang suddenly realized, and then said coldly to Su Mujiu: "There is evidence hidden in an animal cave? It's ridiculous! Tell me, what is this evidence? ”

Su Mujiu was stared at by Emperor Tang's cold eyes, her waist was still straight, there was a little smile hidden in her eyes, and she said unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, I found grain and grass in there." ”

"What? Grain and grass?! ”

"How can there be grain and grass in Wushan?"

"Didn't I hear that our grain depot was empty of 100,000 grains and grass recently, could it be that someone moved to Wushan?"

"That's right, how can this grain and grass be in Wushan, the person who manages the grain and grass is obviously a bad official, and this bad official only listens to the words of the emperor alone, how can such a thing happen?"

……

The ministers listened to Su Mujiu's words and chattered endlessly.

When Tang Huang heard this answer, his eyes were full of anger.

The grain depot has not yet passed the matter of 100,000 grain and grass, and he also sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly, but he did not expect that grain and grass appeared near Wushan!

"You're telling the truth?!" Tang Huang's angry voice sounded, with an endless chill.

Su Mujiu replied, "What I said is true, and the manager can testify." ”

Only then did Emperor Tang cast his eyes on the manager who was standing in the far corner, wearing an official uniform, but his eyes were kicking and restless.

"Come here." Tang Huang's majestic voice made the manager more and more panicked, he took small steps, hurriedly ran to the front, bent his knees, and knelt straight on the ground.

"What Lord Mu said is true?" Tang Huang threw this question to the manager.

Si Guan glanced at Su Mujiu with his spare eyes, he bit his lip, his palm gradually clenched into a fist, and he said, "It's true, we did find grain and grass there. ”

With a "snap", Tang Huang took the case, and he roared angrily: "Where is the official?!" ”

"Your Majesty, the official is only afraid that he is still looking for the case of the loss of 100,000 grains and grass outside the palace." The prime minister stepped forward and answered for the emperor.

"Announce it to me! Let him come to the palace at once! "Except for Su Mujiu, Emperor Tang has never been so angry with others, and even when the grain and grass were lost, Emperor Tang just ordered someone to track it down, and there was no other excessive punishment.

Su Mujiu looked at Emperor Tang's words and deeds in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hidden behind the veil rose slightly.

The Tang Emperor will be angry, he will be angry, of course not because of this mere grain and grass.

Rather, they felt that their authority was being challenged.

How could he allow someone to play such tricks under his nose, deceive his superiors and subordinates, and as the absolute possession of imperial power?

"Lord Mu, let's talk about it, there is grain and grass in this Wushan, what does it have to do with this fire?" Tang Huang was angry, but he didn't forget to continue to interrogate Su Mujiu.

"Your Majesty, although it is now in the dog days, Wushan is the royal land, the terrain is higher, the climate above is more humid, and there will never be a fire for no reason, so this grain and grass must be the fuel for the fire." Su Mujiu's voice was very crisp, with endless calm, without the slightest hint of oil and vinegar.

After Tang Huang heard this, his eyes darkened.

"Well, in this case, this wildfire has nothing to do with you." Tang Huang's voice was very soft.

However, in the next second, his words changed, "But didn't you do this slaughter of the village?" ”

Obviously, this Tang Emperor didn't want to let Su Mujiu go at all.

When the manager heard Tang Huang's words, there was endless worry in his eyes.

On their trip to Wushan, they only harvested grain and grass, and there was no more evidence.

The prince is only afraid that it will be more auspicious.

Who would have thought that Su Mujiu was not in a hurry, her thin lips were lightly lifted: "Your Majesty, I have already said before, if I really want to slaughter the criminal slaves of Wushan, I will not be able to make such a big fuss at all, I must have always known that the emperor still has a lot of words for me, no matter how stupid I am, I will not be so stupid." ”

Tang Huang didn't answer, and his eyes just looked at Su Mujiu.

Su Mujiu then spoke: "I'm also sure that there was another group of people who appeared that day. Combined with the case of the disappearance of grain and grass, I have reason to suspect that these 100,000 grains and grass were misappropriated by someone and raised an army outside the city! ”

Calling it as the Tang Emperor on weekdays, he must have directly sentenced Su Mujiu to death, and did not give her any chance to refute at all.

But it's different right now.

Those eyes with anger, listening to Su Mujiu's words, the anger became even worse.

Dare to raise an army outside the Imperial City!

Who is this person, who actually ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!

The ministers looked at each other, but they didn't expect that this Wushan case could involve such a shocking secret.

"Where's the official! Did the waste come or not? Tang Huang stared at the gate angrily, and his words were full of murderous intent.

Compared with Su Mujiu, he is now more concerned about raising an army outside the city.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Wechen was wronged!! At this moment, the sound of crying and shouting came from the door.

The ministers looked down the doorway, and saw the disheveled official, who stumbled in.

He ran to the center of the hall and knelt down directly, his tone carrying endless panic.

"Wronged? You're wronging me?! As soon as Emperor Tang saw the official, he was furious, and he picked up the fruit plate on the side and smashed it directly.

The official didn't dare to dodge at all, so he could only let the fruit bowl fall on his head, and the blood ran down his forehead.

For a moment, it seemed that he was getting more and more desolate.

"Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't know why there is a shortage of 100,000 grains and grass in this granary! Wechen is running around these days, just to find out about this, Your Majesty! In the words of the official, there were grievances and panic.
