Chapter 240: Kong's message

"That being said, can we just sit here and be indifferent now?"

Su Jingye's analysis is not unreasonable, but the current situation is really not optimistic, and it is really difficult for an impatient person like Shi Zhengzhi to let him wait here quietly.

The key is that there is no clue about the whereabouts of Shang Shanke, and Kong Yu was taken away at this time, which made the whole thing fall into a dead end.

The two of them stopped at the same time, a little desperate and desolate, and stood in the windswept garden of the evening.

Just when the two of them were frowning and embarrassed, they suddenly heard the sound of grass and trees rubbing in their ears, and then a black shadow flew from the roof of the house from nowhere, and landed firmly at Su Jingye's feet.

Shi Zhengzhi was taken aback, and hurriedly put on a posture to block in front of Su Jingye, and Su Jingye clenched his fists without hesitation, keeping his vigilance all over his body.

"Participate in the prince." The visitor was dressed in a pitch-black suit, which seemed to complement each other in the gradually dimming sky, and would disappear into the darkness if he was not careful.

This person landed and stabilized his figure, and when he looked up, he found that Shi Zhengzhi and Su Jingye's expressions were so grim, and he hurriedly stepped back a few steps to salute, for fear of accidentally stimulating the two.

"My subordinates were ordered to investigate the matter of the military department's Shangshu, and now they are here to return to their orders."

Su Jingye heard the familiar voice, and hurriedly pulled down Shi Zhengzhi's hand, and asked symbolically, "Liang Xin?" ”

"It's a subordinate." Liang Xin only felt strange, couldn't the prince even distinguish his body and voice, and hurriedly tore off the face covering his face, Shi Zhengzhi found that it was indeed him before he really relaxed.

For the ruthlessness of the Liang family, Liang Xin worked hard after being rescued by Su Jingye, and joined the Liulin Battalion under him with his own efforts.

Although the Liulin Camp is the establishment of the imperial court, it has always been in charge of Su Jingye, even if the first prince forced him out of the capital, the Liulin Camp has always been under his control.

is also aimed at the relationship between Shi Zhengzhi and Su Jingye, coupled with his love for killing enemies on the battlefield, Shi Zhengzhi also knows the characters in it very well.

Liang Xin's martial arts are outstanding, coupled with the fact that he is calm and wise by nature, and it took him a few years to successfully become the captain of Liu Ye in the Liulin Battalion, specializing in investigating the first-hand news of the imperial court and opponents on the battlefield.

Su Jingye was happy when she saw him for the first time, and she was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly appear here?" ”

After hearing his inquiry, Shi Zhengzhi was even more puzzled, Liang Xin was under Su Jingye's hands, Su Jingye should know a lot about him, why did he still need to ask rhetorically?

"Back to the prince, the prince asked his subordinates to investigate Li Wensong's recent whereabouts, and now there is news, so his subordinates have come back and forth." Liang Xin was also very strange, but he still answered very sincerely.

Who knew that after Su Jingye heard Liang Xin's reply, the expression on his face became more and more indescribable, "So you disappeared a few days ago, so you went to investigate these?" ”

"Yes." Liang Xin nodded honestly, and Shi Zhengzhi turned his head to look at Su Jingye very incomprehensibly. Su Jingye pursed his mouth and pondered for a while, thinking that it was better to solve the matter in front of him first, so he didn't continue to delve into it.

"Then tell me first, what have you investigated?"

"Li Wensong is still the same as before, unless summoned by His Majesty, he has been staying in the mansion and has not gone out, but the secret line came to report, saying that he quietly sent his subordinates to tie up the young lady of the down-and-out scholarly family in Yangcheng next door."

"The subordinates thought that the kidnapping of the officials was not trivial, so they hurriedly returned to report to the prince and asked the prince to show him." After Liang Xin finished speaking briefly, he gave his hand and waited for Su Jingye's decision.

"It's not much different from what the king knows." Su Jingye nodded in a deep voice, "Then you can find out, where is that young lady now, and where has Li Wensong gone?" ”

"That girl was sent in the direction of Yanliu Lane, as for Lord Li, Master Kong of the Ministry of Rites once left a mark for his subordinates, saying that he was invited by Lord Li to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower." After Liang Xin finished answering, he took out a token that he had collected in his arms.

"Now that the matter has been investigated, as for the follow-up, please ask the prince to decide, and his subordinates will return the order to transfer troops." There is nothing special about the token, just an ordinary black wood carved in the shape of a reaming arrow, and a require is carved on it.

The only thing that stands out is that the part of the Lingzi floating, which was finely created by the craftsman with gold leaf to create a clawless python pattern, which is pasted on the side of the Lingzi, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake if I don't observe it carefully in the sun.

"Was it the order of this token that you were ordered to go out to investigate?" Su Jingye took the token, his face was expressionless, but his tightly knit brows made people vaguely aware that his aura was not stable today.

"Are you sure that the king gave it to you personally?"

Liang Xin didn't understand why he was angry, but he also realized that this matter was not trivial, and immediately knelt down on one knee. "Back to the prince's words, it was not given to me by the prince, but was handed over by Master Shangshu Kong of the Ministry of Rites."

"He said that the prince had something to tell me to do, but he was too busy with the matter at hand, so he asked him to tell him. The subordinates looked at this token, and it was indeed no different from the one in the prince's hand, so they responded. ”

Since he hadn't figured out Su Jingye's mood change and such a huge reason, Liang Xin didn't dare to speculate on anything, and only told the facts together.

As a result, Su Jingye squeezed the token tightly, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face, and in his contemptuous laughter, the token made of wood also shattered into slag.

"No wonder it's like this, this token is fake."

Just now, they were still immersed in the surprise of Su Jingye crushing his troop transfer token, and Shi Zhengzhi and Liang Xin were shocked by his next words.

This token was made by Su Jingye himself when he took the initiative to take the order of the Emperor Taishang, so no one in this world knows more about this token than him.

Shi Zhengzhi quickly came back to his senses after being surprised, and then connected the cause and effect of the matter, and couldn't help but exclaim, "If this is the case, isn't it true that Lord Kong pretended to use the order of the prince and pretended to make a token to order the people of the Liulin camp?" ”

Liang Xin was stunned, he looked at Su Jingye blankly, hurriedly knelt down on the other leg, and kowtowed to ask for guilt, "The subordinates are abnormal, and they also ask the prince to condemn him, and the subordinates will have nothing to say." ”

"According to Fang Cai's conversation, it seems that this is indeed the case." Su Jingye ignored Liang Xin's plea, only cared about talking to Shi Zhengzhi, and reached out to raise the pile of wood slag twisted into powder in the palm of his right hand in the wind.

"Then Master Kong had already guessed that Li Wensong would take action, and he could hide it from the brothers in the Liulin Camp with such confidence." Shi Zheng said honestly, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Now I can understand why the prince and Li Wensong are so obsessed with pulling Kong Yu over, he has such a powerful prediction and execution, how can people not feel terrible."

"But I do see some hope in this, and Kong Yu pinned all his last hope on my people, so it can be seen that he should be more at ease with this king." Su Jingye patted the ashes on his hands, and his heart began to become as clean and bright as this hand.

"The merchant girl was sent to Yanliu Lane, and Li Wensong invited Master Kong to Zuixian Mansion at this time, I am afraid that he planned to make an ultimatum and use Miss Merchant's as a threat to win over Kong Yu."

At this time, the matter is almost clear, as long as you have heard the cause and effect once, it must be a person who can guess it, Shi Zhengzhi nodded very approvingly. Su Jingye looked down at Liang Xin, who was kneeling on the ground and blamed himself, and leaned down to help the person up.

"Well, this king does not blame you for today's events, on the contrary, I want to thank you for investigating this matter clearly, and there will be a place for you to be useful in the future, and write down today's mistakes, and you will be punished in the future."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

The wind at night became cold, blowing on people's bodies, involuntarily arousing a layer of goosebumps, and while Liang Xin blamed himself and worried, fine sweat appeared on his back, sticky stained with clothes, and when he was blown by the wind, it was a cool feeling.

"Is it so simple for the prince to forgive Lord Kong for the fake transmission of military orders?" Shi Zhengzhi inevitably felt a little surprised, Su Jingye glanced over lightly, "Not only that, but I also want to help him bring the merchant lady out and tell him what it means to repay grievances with virtue." ”

"I told him that he used to always pretend to say something big in front of me, and when the time comes, he has to rely on this king to do practical things. When the dust settles on today's events, let's quietly watch his gratitude to us. ”

"Well, I think this matter is still hanging." Shi Zhengzhi shook his head in disagreement, and asked again, "Then the prince has thought about it, how to save that girl?" ”

"Where is Miss Shang being held, can you find out?" Su Jingye was very nervous about Shi Zhengzhi's question, but he was really nervous, and when he asked Liang Xin, he also had a very embarrassed expression on his face.

"Well, our brothers only followed the carriage that escorted Miss Merchant's to Smoke Willow Lane, and then they were no longer visible." Liang Xin furrowed his eyebrows, very ashamed of his dereliction of duty.

"In addition, there are many people in Yanliu Alley, countless men and women, these people seem to be aware that someone is following behind them, and they deliberately go around many places, and our brothers are thrown off by them if they are not careful."

"The only thing that is certain now is that they definitely didn't leave Smoke Willow Lane." This may sound good news at other times, but it only makes people feel more depressed when used here.
