Chapter 138: A Strange Theft
Mu Yunsong suffered from the lack of weapons, so he could only rely on his fists to support his left and right, and gradually lost his opponent, and he was surrounded by a thick vine around his neck in a flash, and the more he was bound, the tighter he became......
He was completely out of breath, only to feel that his throat was strangled with a fishy sweetness, and his consciousness began to blur......
Could it be that this king is going to die in this inexplicable place?
What about Su Qi? Where is Su Qi?
The concern for Su Qi made Mu Yunsong's consciousness sober up a little, and he secretly refreshed his energy, broke free from the restraint of the vines on his hands, and grabbed the murderous vine on his neck and pulled it hard......
"Ahh
He let out a long howl in his dream, but he woke himself up from the nightmare.
He subconsciously bounced up, and saw that the person he was dying about was sleeping next to him at the moment, his cheeks flushed and his saliva shiny.
Mu Yunsong breathed a long sigh of relief, and he actually felt a sense of relief for the rest of his life.
This nightmare is too realistic......
"Lord Wang!"
Hearing a low call outside the bed tent, Mu Yunsong instantly restrained his emotions, glanced at the sleeping Su Qi, got up lightly and got out of bed, and frowned at the dark guard Yinfeng who was kneeling in the room: "What's the matter?" ”
Yin Feng secretly complained to himself, feeling that he had come at the wrong time, and he didn't know what punishment he would end up with if he disturbed the prince's Spring Festival, but the stakes were very high, "Vice General Xu sent a message to say that there was an accident in the northern camp of Yanbei, please return quickly!" ”
Mu Yunsong got up: "What's wrong?" ”
"Another officer was killed, and his body hung on a tree!"
When Mu Yunsong arrived at the barracks, it was dawn, and the body of the corpse hanging on a large poplar tree reflected the blood-colored morning sun, which looked particularly weird and terrifying.
Mu Yunmei arrived one step earlier, and was directing the sergeant to take the ladder and get the body down.
"When did you find out?" Mu Yunsong asked in a deep voice.
"About an hour ago." Mu Yunmei's expression was grim, "Someone has recognized that the one who was killed was Li Shun, a thousand households of the Flying Tiger Battalion. ”
"Loyal and brave guards...... Thousand Households" Mu Yunsong's mind flashed, and he seemed to have grasped something.
"We just summoned Li Shun's subordinates to interrogate, saying that Li Shun has been in the loyal and brave guard for nearly 20 years, and he is the most friendly, kind, fair and strict, and deeply supported by the soldiers, and has never made any enemies." Mu Yunmei shook her head and sighed, "Such a good person is also killed, is the killer a madman?" ”
"Tu Leopard, Wu Kui, Li Shun ......," Mu Yunsong muttered, "Have you noticed that these three people who were killed have one thing in common, that is, they have all served in the Flying Tiger Battalion Loyal and Brave Guards!" ”
"Really!" Mu Yunmei knocked on her palm, "This killer has a grudge against Zhongyongwei?" But the two of them, Wu Kui, who slaughtered the leopard, had already been transferred from Zhongyongwei, so why were they murdered? ”
"The killer may have a grudge against the Loyal Guard, but not a new one, but an old one." Mu Yunsong groaned.
"Could it be that Zhongyongwei has done something that is intolerable to heaven that will be subjected to such crazy revenge from the enemy?" Mu Yunmei thought about it and shook her head, "No, Zhongyongwei used to be my father's personal guard, and the soldiers under his command were all selected, and they often had to be trained and taught by my father himself, so I really don't seem to be going to do anything contrary to heavenly principles and human ethics." ”
"There is no evidence, just go to the military registration department to check the file." Mu Yunsong turned around and left, Mu Yunmei arranged for someone to watch at the scene, and hurriedly followed.
"Big brother, why do you have a color on your neck?" Mu Yunmei saw a red blood mark at the root of Mu Yunsong's ear, and asked with interest.
"Huh?" Mu Yunsong didn't realize it himself, and reached out to touch it, and the sting hurt a little.
"Wasn't it scratched by Miss Su?" Mu Yunmei was meaningful, "Haven't reconciled yet?" ”
Mu Yunsong himself didn't know that last night's plan to pour out his sorrows and stalk was not reconciled, but such a dead face was the first time in his life, so he was naturally not enough to be an outsider, so he feigned anger and said: "Don't gossip!" Get down to business! ”
The military registration department was not far from the scene of the crime, and the two brothers walked over. The military registration department is in charge of the file and the book is the person surnamed Bai, the person is like his surname, the beard is white, seeing the prince and the fifth master come in person, I don't know whether to be excited or nervous, the hair on the head is trembling, and he trembles: "The lower official greets and greets ......."
"That's it." Mu Yunsong didn't want to listen to his ramblings, "Bring all the files of the Flying Tiger Battalion's loyal and brave guards." ”
Director Bai didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly invited Mu Yunsong to sit in front of the table, opened a cabinet tremblingly, and moved out a lot of yellowed files.
The two brothers looked at each other separately for a while, but instead of finding any clues, they deepened their good impression of Zhongyongwei.
"As the prince of Beijing for more than 20 years, Zhongyongwei followed his father's southern expedition to the north and was born and died, made great achievements, and saved his father from desperate danger several times." Mu Yunmei concluded, "No wonder my father praised them for being worthy of the word 'loyal and brave' before his death. ”
"The strange thing is," Mu Yunsong thought to himself, "In the last few years of my father's life, he suddenly replaced this pro-army. He remembered that his father's statement at the time was to sympathize with the loyal and brave guards for many years of hard work and great sacrifice, so he ordered the loyal and brave guards to temporarily relieve, rectify their cultivation, and replace the pro-army with Teng Xiangwei, which has been used by Mu Yunsong to this day.
Now that I think about it, there may be another article in it.
The two brothers were discussing, but they saw that the white master brought hot tea, but his hands and feet were unsteady, and he spilled a cup of tea on Mu Yunsong's sleeve.
Mu Yunmei was a little displeased, and said, "What are you panicking about?" ”
Master Bai was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees: "The prince forgives his sins!" Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan ......"
"It doesn't matter." Mu Yunsong twisted his wet sleeves, and saw that the white master was hurriedly cleaning up the tea and teacups on the table, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even hold the cups firmly.
He finally finished the teacup and said, "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan went to change a cup of tea for the prince. ”
Mu Yunsong glanced thoughtfully at his back perched with a teacup, and suddenly spoke: "Stop!" ”
Master Bai stopped suddenly, his thin body shaking violently.
"What are you hiding from your weak heart?"
The teacup in Director Bai's hand fell to the ground and shattered, but he knelt on the piece of porcelain ballast unconsciously, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "The prince spares his life!" The prince spares his life! ”
Mu Yunmei shook her head and tsk: This old man's psychological quality is too poor......
Mu Yunsong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Say!" ”
The forehead of the white chief was pierced by the porcelain slices, and the white beard and white hair were dyed bloody, and he trembled very embarrassedly: "Back to the prince, the lower officials are very frightened, it is really because of ...... The Military Registry has been stolen! ”
"When? What's missing? ”
"Ten days ago." When Lord Bai said the truth, he calmed down a little, "As the head of the Military Registration Department, Xia Guan is here day and night. On the night ten days ago, Xia Guan was sleeping peacefully in the room, and vaguely heard some rustling movements outside.
Xia Guan thought it was a rat, so he took the oil lamp out to check, but after checking around, there was not even a shadow of a mouse, let alone people, only a window on the south wall had a crack.
Xia Guan thought that he was negligent and forgot to close it before going to bed, so that the sound of the wind blowing in. So I closed the window and went back to sleep.
After dawn, Xia Guan got up and looked around as usual, but found that ...... The seal of a secret cabinet is broken!
Xia Guan hurriedly opened the cabinet and checked it, and found that a confidential file inside was missing! ”
After Master Bai finished speaking, he saw Mu Yunsong frowning thoughtfully, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed again: "Lord Mingjian, it's not that the lower officials are playing tricks, this fact is very weird!" ”
"The military registration department is in the middle of the Yanbei camp, and there are soldiers guarding the door day and night, and if the idle people want to sneak in quietly, it is really impossible." Mu Yunmei asked Chief Bai, "What kind of file did you lose?" ”
"It is a file left by the first prince, which was sealed by the first prince himself, and the lower officials never dared to open it, so they don't know what the content of the file is."
"First it was my father's personal guard, and then it was the file left by my father." Mu Yunmei said solemnly to Mu Yunsong: "Could it be that this matter has something to do with my father?" ”
"It's hard to say if it has something to do with my father." Mu Yunsong's gaze slowly moved over the doors and windows and looked at the roof, "There is a sergeant guarding the entrance of the Military Registration Division, and the window is open narrow to prevent theft, how did the person who stole the file come in?" ”
Su Qi sat idly on the courtyard corridor, basking in the sun while looking at Zhang Pu, who was busy pasting tiles on the roof, and vaguely found the shadow of Su Maruki, who was not left in Huimu Zhai under the pretext of "his injury has not healed".
Su Qi squinted, silently sighed for a moment, and called to Zhang Pu on the roof: "Brother Zhang, the sun is poisonous at noon, let's come down and rest for a while!" ”
"How can a peasant family be so delicate," Zhang Pu said, working non-stop with his hands and feet, "I used to dig ditches for big families in the cold winter, and I stood in the cold water for half a day, and my legs and feet were frozen; I once went to the ravine to look for someone on a heavy rainy day, and I couldn't open my eyes when it rained, so I had to walk forward with a hard head...... However, none of this compares to the life of pigs and dogs in the black coal kiln. He smiled honestly, "Compared with the past, these two days are simply the emperor's life, and I can wake up with a smile when I sleep, and I Zhang Pu has been grateful for the girl's great kindness all my life." ”
Su Qi smiled and shook his head secretly: Don't say that the emperor, it is the life of the Beijing Palace, but I am afraid that it is beyond your imagination. However, it's good that ordinary people have the happiness of ordinary people.
"Gotcha, it's fixed!" Zhang Pu got down from the ladder and wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and Su Qi asked Grape to bring him a bowl of water.
"You still have injuries on your hands, you really shouldn't be in a hurry." Su Qi looked at his right hand that was caught by the splint, and felt really guilty in his heart.
A touch of resentment flashed in Zhang Pu's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Are you the prince, a god-like character, let people live and die, I am a flat-headed commoner, what can I say......"
Su Qi crossed the "god-like" prince in his mind, and the scoundrel who was drunk on her bed last night couldn't help but purse his lips: "Actually, the prince is ......."
