Chapter 306: The Most Suspicious
Qian Qianqian also saw what Xiao Mohan meant, walked straight forward and approached Yueji, she wanted to see today, where is Yueji sacred, what is the secret of this face hidden behind the purple yarn?
Yueji looked at Qian Qianqian's movements, and understood something in her heart, and suddenly struggled violently, shaking her head from side to side, not letting Qian Qianqian approach. But Qian Qianqian had no intention of backing down.
For so many days, Qian Qianqian has long been very curious about Yueji's face, and now that there is a good opportunity, she naturally will not give up, just when she was about to tear off the veil on Yueji's face, a cold arrow flew in from the wooden window and shot straight towards Qian Qianqian.
Seeing this, Xiao Mohan immediately stepped forward, pulled Qian Qianqian, dodged, and then several people in black broke through the window, all of them were extraordinary, and snatched Yueji from Xiao Mohan's mobile phone.
"Can't let her run away!"
Seeing this, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but get excited, Wu Shun and Xue Yi also rushed forward, but they still couldn't stop the black-clothed people.
In just a blink of an eye, the black-clothed men rescued Yueji and disappeared into the deep night, Wu Shun and Xue Yi just wanted to chase them out, but they were stopped by Xiao Mohan.
"Stop chasing, they're already far away."
Xiao Mohan said very firmly, holding Qian Qianqian in his arms, his expression was solemn and solemn, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his deep eyes were cold.
"It's only a moment's work, how can they run away? If we let Tsukihime go, it will be difficult to catch her in the future. ”
Qian Qianqian raised her head, her face was full of anxiety, it was really thrilling just now, I really didn't expect that Yueji had become a prisoner, and she still had a back hand, which was simply unguardable.
"Just now, I saw the skills of those black-clothed people, they can be regarded as the best in Xiao Country, they can sneak into the General's Mansion quietly, and their light skills must not be weak, so if we chase them out, not only will we not be able to catch up with people, but we will also fall for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain."
Xiao Mohan let go of Qian Qianqian, lifted his thin lips lightly, his voice was low, and there was no ripple in his eyes.
"It's a pity, I didn't expect there to be such a master by Tsukihime's side." Qian Qianqian sighed, her face was full of unwillingness, and she couldn't help muttering on her lips.
"Those who shouldn't be Tsukihime." Xiao Mohan spoke slowly, although it was a guess, but there was indescribable certainty in his tone.
"What do you mean? If it's not Tsukihime's person, who else can it be? Could it be that there are still others in this Xiao Kingdom who are secretly helping her? ”
Qian Qianqian was very puzzled, staring at Xiao Mohan's eyes carefully, and her eyebrows were twisted into a dead knot.
"The moves used by those assassins just now are not from Yang Guo, and this arrow is spiral-shaped, which is unique to Xiao Guo's arrows."
Xiao Mohan took off the arrow inserted in the wooden pillar, looked at it carefully, and explained unhurriedly that although he didn't stop the black-clothed people just now, he had been secretly observing.
In this way, this matter is undoubtedly more complicated, if someone in Xiao Country secretly helps Yueji, then it is a traitor in Xiao State, if it is found out, it will be connected to the Nine Clans.
"So we'll leave this matter at that?"
Qian Qianqian cautiously probed, her eyes flashed with suspicion, although she was unwilling, she was helpless, everything still had to be listened to Xiao Mohan.
"Tomorrow, I will send this treasure map to the palace and present it to the emperor, as for the follow-up, it is not appropriate to be in a hurry, there may be a big fish behind this."
Xiao Mohan's thin lips were deep, a touch of cunning flashed in his deep eyes, and the light and dark under his eyes were mixed, making people unable to see it really, and they couldn't figure it out.
The guards in this mansion were all awake for a night, and all the people brought by Yueji died, Xiao Mohan asked Wu Shun to dispose of the corpses, and as for the few fine workers who were locked in the firewood room, they were also disposed of, and after a thunderous effort, the entire general's mansion was much cleaner.
And since Yueji was rescued, she has never appeared again, Yufeng has been staring at the house where Yueji and the others stayed before, but there was no movement at all, it seems that Yueji is deliberately avoiding Xiao Mohan.
Xiao Mohan also did what he said, and sent the treasure map to the emperor on the second day, and mentioned the details of the central state in front of the emperor.
"The subordinate brother was incompetent, and he failed to catch the fine work, but only recovered the treasure map."
Xiao Mohan bowed slightly, deliberately humbled himself like this, and the emperor put the treasure map aside, his face full of joy that could not be hidden.
For now, as long as the treasure map is recovered, the emperor will be relieved, as for the fine work, you can take your time in the future, and you don't have to rush for a while.
"You can make this treasure map lost and recovered, you are indispensable, but that fine work can escape from your hands, it shouldn't be an ordinary person."
The emperor thought in his heart, although Xiao Mohan was rarely in the capital, he had been secretly monitoring Xiao Mohan, so he still had a little understanding of Xiao Mohan's strength.
"It's really not ordinary, but if there is no one to help, she shouldn't be able to escape this fate."
Xiao Mohan deliberately hinted like this, his gaze swept over the emperor's face without a trace, and his chin tightened, as if he was hiding endless mystery.
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that there are still people in my Xiao Kingdom behind my back to help Nayang Guo do it? ”
When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly sank a little, and he met Xiao Mohan's gaze, his brows were furrowed, and his expression became solemn.
"Although the younger brother has no evidence, but the younger brother feels that the imperial tomb is heavily guarded, and there has never been such an accident for so many years.
Xiao Mohan explained 1510, which also made the emperor suspicious, the entire Xiao Kingdom, except for the palace, the imperial tomb is the most heavily guarded, if the Yang State can enter the imperial tomb by himself, wouldn't it be not far from sneaking into the palace?
"Then who is colluding with the central state? Fornicating with foreign enemies is simply hateful! ”
The emperor couldn't help but snort coldly, but it was futile to be angry now, he couldn't catch the traitor, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart.
"The younger brother thinks that he can help the central country to enter the imperial mausoleum, and can rescue the central country from the hands of the minister, this person's identity must be extraordinary, eighty percent is a high-powered person, otherwise there is no such great ability, if this person is not found out, there will be endless troubles in the future."
Xiao Mohan deliberately bit the words "high and powerful", looking at the entire imperial court, in line with these four words, in addition to him, there are only a few imperial uncles left, as well as Ouyang Kun and Shao Huaigu.
And those imperial uncles are the brothers of the first emperor, and now they are all old, although they are royal relatives, their status is precious, but they have no real power in their hands, for the sake of the first emperor, the emperor often gives them some face, and they are also very peaceful, and have never had a heart of disobedience, so life has been stable.
To say that some of them collaborated with the enemy and treason, Xiao Mohan and the emperor did not believe it, although they were ruthless in the fight for the throne, but they also only fought with their own people, once they encountered foreign enemies, they would be unanimous with the outside world, and never lose big because of small things, which is also the consistent style of the Xiao royal family.
So this suspicion fell on Ouyang Kun and Shao Huaigu, although the official position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is only below the prime minister, but Ouyang Kun is the left minister, and the official position is higher, and the power and convenience brought by it are much greater than Shao Huaigu.
"The biggest suspicion at the moment is undoubtedly Ouyang Kun and Shao Huaigu, Ouyang Kun has been in the position of the left minister for many years, and Shao Huaigu was favored by me a few days ago and promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, besides, he took the initiative to ask for help in this case, saying that he would personally investigate, and now you sent the treasure map back, but there is no movement there, could it be that he leaked the news early in the morning, so he recommended himself and wanted to seek convenience?"
The emperor naturally thought of this, but the emperor first suspected Shao Huaigu, and did not suspect Ouyang Kun, it seems that Ouyang Kun's position in the emperor's heart is very important.
"Brother Huang, the younger brother doesn't think it's like this, if he is replaced by a younger brother and betrays Xiao Guo, he will never hit the knife at this time, now everyone is staring at the theft of the imperial tomb, if Lord Shao wants to seek convenience for the central government to deliberately take over the case, it is too confusing, in front of everyone, he has a little action that is easy to be discovered, so thankless, the younger brother believes that he should not do it."
Xiao Mohan disagreed, and slowly spoke, although he did not explicitly direct the emperor's attention to Ouyang Kun, but with this common sense to clear Shao Huaigu, the emperor naturally understood in his heart.
"You're right, if Shao Huaigu was a traitor, he wouldn't have made it so obvious, he knew that if this matter wasn't done well, I wouldn't let him go, and he wouldn't do it in order to protect himself."
The emperor nodded slightly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his face was full of impatience, now the words are so clear, fools know who is the most suspicious, but the emperor still seems to be a little unconvinced.
"Ouyang Kun has been this left minister for many years, and he has been following me since I ascended the throne, I really can't figure it out, why did he betray me and betray Xiao Guo? At present, the position of the right phase is suspended, the left phase is under one person, and above ten thousand people, what is he not satisfied with? ”
The emperor muttered on his lips, although Xiao Mohan didn't say it explicitly, but the emperor knew that Xiao Mohan was identifying Ouyang Kun inside and outside his words, so he was very distressed.
"Brother Chen thinks that some people's greed is nature, no matter how many things they get, they will never feel that they are not enough, and they want to get more, although there is no evidence to prove Lord Ouyang at the moment, but Brother Chen believes that sooner or later the truth will be revealed."
Xiao Mohan bowed slightly, and his voice was low, echoing in this empty Jinluan Palace, and his voice was piercing.
The emperor frowned and thought about it, suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Mohan, his brows twisted into the word "Sichuan", and his face tightened.
"Ninth brother, I am the only brother like you by my side, so this time, I can only trust you, you must catch the Yang Kingdom for me and find out the traitorous people in the palace."
The emperor's expression was firm and he said it categorically, as if he had high hopes for Xiao Mohan.
"Please rest assured, the younger brother will try his best to investigate and never let the imperial brother down."
Xiao Mohan waited for the emperor's words, although he knew that the emperor was forced to do so, and there was no one available around him, so he would value him like this, but he still responded, and this matter was exactly what he wanted.
