Chapter Ninety-Nine: Passing By
It's not that he doesn't take his big brother in his eyes, but he knows very well the strength of the General's Mansion and the power of the medicine man.
Besides, if this matter is really related to Qin Moyu, unless Qin Moyu has been deliberately hiding his strength for so many years.
However, if he was really able to hide so well under everyone's noses, then how could he let them catch his whereabouts so easily this time?
He believed that Qin Moyu might have gone to Yunfu Mountain, but he didn't believe that his purpose in going to Yunfu Mountain was related to the medicine man.
"The subordinates just think this matter is too coincidental." He Xinli pondered and replied.
"Since you're not at ease, let's go check it out!" Qin Moyu waved his hand a little irritably and sent him down.
In an eventful season, it is not a bad thing to pay more attention, but he has no expectations for the results that He Xinli can find.
After He Xinli withdrew, Qin Mosong also came out of the room and stood under the pomegranate tree that was just right in the courtyard for a long time.
The breeze in the yard was gusting, and the insects were singing and the frogs were singing, which was the time to be comfortable, but he still felt irritable.
"Tell your ladies that this king will come back later." He stepped out of the courtyard door, and without looking back, he said to Yaoqin and Jinse, who were still guarding the door of the room.
"Someone! Prepare the horses! After stepping out of the courtyard, he strode out, and commanded the guards who followed him.
......
After dinner, Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked around the garden twice, and after eating and then went back to the study.
He sat in the study for an hour or two, and when he was tired, he got up and moved around the yard.
Around the end of the day, Mrs. Shangshu sent someone to urge him to rest early.
Master Shangshu forgot the hour as soon as he got busy, and when the maid came to deliver the message, he was indeed a little tired, thinking that it should not be too early, so he got up, raised his arm and stretched his body, and put away all the things on the desk.
Lord Shangshu yawned twice and went out of the study, but before the person walked out of the courtyard, someone from the front yard came to report.
"Sir! His Royal Highness King An has come to visit! ”
Lord Shangshu looked up at the dark night sky and asked, "What time is it?" “
The little guy who replied was stunned for a moment, and said a little stupidly: "It's almost time." ”
"Oh! It's almost time! After thinking about it for a while, Shangshu of the Criminal Department knew what King An was doing so late, so he straightened his robe and went out.
Master Shangshu hurriedly walked out of the study, and the housekeeper had already led Qin Mosong through the second door.
"The lower officials don't know that His Royal Highness King An has arrived, and he has missed the distance, so please forgive His Highness!" Master Shangshu stepped forward quickly and greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Shangshu doesn't have to be polite! This king came to visit suddenly late at night, hoping that it did not disturb the rest of the adults! Qin Mosong stretched out his hand to help Master Shangshu up, with a modest smile on his face, and the appearance of Corporal Lixian was extremely sufficient.
Shangshu General Qin Mosong let him go to the flower hall and ordered people to serve tea and snacks.
After a few words of greeting, Lord Shang Shu asked with a confused expression, "I wonder if His Highness has something to order when he comes?" “
Qin Mosong held the teacup, slowly scraped the foam in the teacup with the lid of the teacup, and said with a slight smile: "This king doesn't have anything to order, but he just happened to pass by the adults' mansions, and remembered that the assassination of the emperor's uncle seemed to have been uneventful, so I came by the way to ask the adults." “
Qin Mosong didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.
However, this "just passing by" and "by the way" are intriguing again.
Lord Shangshu's face was embarrassed: "Your Highness also knows that the Lingnan Royal Mansion has been biting on this matter, although His Highness has proved that the secret guard token of the mansion is lost, but it is ......"
Qin Mosong raised his hand to stop Lord Shangshu's words: "My lord misunderstood, this king does not want to meddle in this matter, but is just concerned about the progress of the case, and hopes that the criminal department can give an explanation to the imperial uncle as soon as possible." He looked at Lord Shangshu with a selfless and serious face: "And after all, the incident of that day happened in front of the public, I am afraid that this case will drag on for a long time, and people will be panicked, so this king has asked more questions." “
Lord Shang Shu accompanied him and said with a smile: "What His Highness said is that this matter should have been closed earlier, but the prince of Lingnan insisted on investigating it again......
Qin Mosong carefully observed Lord Shangshu's expression when he spoke, his mind turned extremely fast, but there was a puzzled look on his face: "Oh! So, does Uncle Huang have some other thoughts about this matter? ”
Lord Shangshu looked embarrassed and stopped talking.
Qin Mosong took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Is there anything unspeakable about Lord Shangshu?" If you can trust this king, it is better to say it, and it is impossible to say that this king can still be a senator for adults. ”
Master Shangshu also picked up the teacup and raised it to his mouth, but he didn't take a sip for a long time, and he still seemed to be a little hesitant.
Qin Mosong looked at it coldly, and he didn't urge.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"Your Highness doesn't know that the prince of Lingnan has identified that assassin, he met him at the inn on the first day ......of his assassination in Yi County, when he stayed in Peizhen," Lord Shangshu seemed to have finally made up his mind, and he leaned over to Qin Mosong's side and said in a low voice.
"Really?" A flash of surprise flashed on Qin Mosong's face, but it was quickly disappeared.
Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department smiled silently.
"You mean...... Uncle Huang suspects that these two things are related? Qin Mosong's hand holding the teacup tightened a little, and he asked casually.
Qin Mosong didn't suspect that Lord Shangshu was lying, because Pang Wenlun did appear in Peizhen that day.
If Qin Hao hadn't really seen Pang Wenlun somewhere, he hadn't gone to Pei County to investigate anything before, and there was no reason why after such a long time, they suddenly went to Pei Town to investigate this matter for no reason.
It's just that in this case, things do get a little more complicated and tricky.
"Your Royal Highness laughed, where is the idea of the prince of Lingnan that the lower officials can guess, the lower officials can only do things according to the regulations......" Lord Shangshu snorted, picked up the teacup again, lowered his eyes and began to drink tea casually, obviously not saying anything more.
Qin Mosong was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that it would be futile to sit down again, so he got up and said goodbye.
Lord Shangshu personally sent Qin Mosong out of the mansion, and watched him get on his horse and disappear into the night, the smile on his face was put away.
After thinking about it, Master Shangshu still went back to the study, took out a piece of letter paper from the drawer, took the ink that had not been used up just now, took a pen and wrote a letter, put it in the envelope, sealed it carefully, called Lu Yun to come in, handed the letter to him, and explained it again.
Besides, when Qin Mosong left the Shangshu Mansion, his face sank.
When he returned to the palace, he asked people to pass He Xinli to the study.
As soon as Qin Mosong returned to King An's Mansion on the front foot, Lu Yun on the back foot sent the letter to the Rui Wang's Mansion.
