Chapter 197: Counting is Counting
In the prince's mansion, Si Lu stood at the foot of the hall and watched the prince sit on the chair with a solemn face.
After a long time, the crown prince spoke: "Si Lu, what do you think Mo Zhi means by this, at this juncture, he actually wants to transfer most of the city guards to the third prince?" ”
Si Lu thought for a while and said to the prince: "Mo Zhi will not have any ideas, it stands to reason that he is thoughtful, calm and calm, and will discuss anything with the prince in advance, he should not be so blind." ”
"It's better for the subordinates to go to Mo Zhi to find out how it is, and see what Mo Zhi means." Si Lu asked the prince's opinion on the side.
The crown prince lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and said to Si Lu: "That's fine, the third prince is indeed good to him, if Mo Zhi has any two hearts, I will never leave him by my side again." ”
When he came to the city guard, the official at the door saw that it was Si Lu, and hurriedly invited him into the door, Si Lu didn't say much, and walked straight into Mo Zhi's tent.
Mo Zhi happened to go out and saw Si Lu's sudden visit, presumably for the letter.
The two of them sat down at the table, and the atmosphere was a little dreary.
"Mo Zhi, I'm here to ...... today" Si Lu spoke, his eyes looking at Mo Zhi, and there was some hesitation in his words.
Mo Zhi on the side looked natural, without a trace of nervousness, and said lightly: "The prince called you here." ”
Si Lu nodded: "That's right, the prince thinks that your idea of reorganizing the city guard army is not very appropriate, so call me today to discuss with you and listen to your opinion." ”
"The prince misunderstood, that letter was not written by me at all." Mo Zhi said.
Si Lu's eyes widened: "Didn't you write it?" So what's going on, the letter is entirely in your handwriting? ”
Mo Zhi nodded: "It is precisely because of my handwriting that the prince can completely believe the content of the letter." ”
Si Lu looked puzzled and asked curiously, "So, you don't plan to distribute half of the general's troops to the third prince?" ”
Mo Zhi said in a straight voice: "That's what was written in that letter? No wonder the prince replied to me with such a sentence. Mo Zhi looked serious and continued: "The person who forged the letter, his purpose is to drive a wedge between me and the prince, so that there will be a rift between me and the prince. ”
Si Lu looked at Mo Zhi fixedly: "What the hell is going on?" Let's hear it. ”
Mo Zhi stood up with one hand on the table, turned his back to Si Lu and said: "Do you remember the person who kidnapped Qingyuan, the person who exchanged the letter was the thief who escaped at the beginning, he covered his face at the time, and no one noticed what he looked like. ”
Si Lu really didn't expect it when he heard Mo Zhi's words: "It's him?" I thought he was going to run away. ”
Mo Zhi nodded, and then said: "He came to Mo Mansion just to take revenge, or, mixed with some other purposes. ”
Mo Zhi paused, and then said: "Not only that, but his participation in the kidnapping was also instigated!" It's not just for the money. ”
Si Lu hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Did you find it? ”
Mo Zhi looked at Si Lu and spoke after a moment: "I think it should be Guan Qin's person, I just worked under the prince at that time, and Guan Qin was very dissatisfied with my appearance, but I haven't found out who that person is." ”
Mo Zhi lowered his head and thought about it, there is no doubt that Mo Chao is the mastermind behind the scenes, but no one will believe it if he says it now, Guan Qin is dead, and now he will find himself in trouble if he finds out that Mo Chao is not good.
"I wrote a letter to the prince that day, wanting to ask the prince for his opinion on the transfer of troops to the border of Dayao, and as soon as I finished writing, I sent that person to send it to the prince, I think he must have dropped the letter halfway, so as to drive a wedge between me and the prince."
Si Lu nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case, then what are you going to do next?" Haven't dealt with that person yet? ”
"An Xian and I plan not to expose him first, after all, there is not much evidence in hand at the moment, and he is just a small character, I want to find the person behind him through him, that is the real hidden danger."
Si Lu nodded, and said to Mo Zhi: "That's fine, then you guys be careful, I'll go back and report to the prince, otherwise he's still thinking nonsense!" ”
Guan Zhen felt strange, but he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns: "If this is really the case, then I am wrong, he has always been calm and has never had a problem." ”
Si Lu nodded on the side and said: "What the prince said is reasonable, Mo Zhi has always been loyal since he followed you, he is thoughtful, calm, not arrogant or impatient, he is a rare talent." ”
And since An Xian and Mo Zhi knew the identity of that person, they let Qiao Yu, Xiaojiu and Yusheng pay attention to his movements everywhere.
But the thief was well disguised, and there was no activity for a long time, but An Xian and Mo Zhi still did not let their guard down.
Of course, she didn't relax her original thing, Wang Painter appreciated An Xian's script very much, and he also painted like a god, and the vivid and vivid works were displayed in front of An Xian, which made An Xian very happy.
Seeing that the manuscript in his hand was enough, An Xian instructed Yusheng to go to the printing house to print all the manuscripts and launch new books, Yusheng took the manuscripts and went out.
But he came back in less than an hour, which made An Xian feel very puzzled.
"Why is it so fast to go back and forth today? In the past, it took at least two hours to go back and forth to the Press. An Xian looked at Yusheng suspiciously.
Yusheng's face was a little heavy, he didn't answer An Xian, and pulled An Xian to the inner hall, before he slowly spoke, and said in a low voice: "I met the new person in the mansion on the road." ”
An Xian listened and asked curiously, "What, you met him, did he go and do anything?" ”
Yusheng took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "On the way to the Press, I saw him walking alone on the street, I wanted to go over and say hello to him, but I didn't expect him to turn a corner into an alley, I was puzzled, so I secretly followed him." ”
An Xian listened carefully to the words of the rain, and his eyes narrowed.
Yusheng paused, and said in a solemn tone: "I followed, and saw that he was talking to a strange man, the man was holding a paper bag in his hand, and he said with a smile and a smile on his face that this medicine is very effective, I heard this and felt that it was not a good thing, so I immediately ran back and told you about it." ”
After An Xian heard this, he nodded: "It seems that he can't bear it." ”
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and said to Yu Sheng: "You go home with me today, and you must take him down this time." Yu Sheng nodded after hearing this.
An Xian didn't delay for a moment, and went to tell Mo Zhi about this matter first.
In the yasho, Mo Zhi saw An Xian's rare come here and asked, "Why did you come here, is something wrong?" ”
An Xian nodded, pulled Mo Zhi to sit at the table, and told him what Yusheng had seen.
Mo Zhi looked up at An Xian thoughtfully: "Do you have any ideas?" ”
An Xian nodded and said, "Yes, I have a plan, this time I must let him show his feet and get evidence." ”
Seeing An Xian's confident appearance, Mo Zhi hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it." ”
At noon, in Mofu, Qinghe and Xia Zhu were busy washing vegetables, and when they saw An Xian coming back, they greeted them: "Madame came back so early today, Xia Zhu and I thought that you would stay in the library and not come back, and we planned to cook a meal for you at noon today." ”
An Xian looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I don't need it today, I have worked hard for you." ”
The two sisters listened to An Xian's words, and hurriedly said, "Madam, where are you, Qinghe and Xia Zhu's lives were saved by you, what is the point of doing this little thing." ”
An Xian smiled, didn't say anything, turned around and introduced Yusheng to the two sisters: "This is a person from my library, called Yusheng, he helps me take care of the big and small affairs of the library on weekdays, he is a very capable young man"
The two sisters looked at Yusheng and bowed their heads, and Yusheng also greeted the two girls.
After seeing the three of them, An Xian turned around and walked to the inner hall, and Li Cong came out of the house, and said respectfully, "Madam, you are back." ”
An Xian nodded slightly, and before An Xian could speak, Li Cong continued: "Madam, I will go to the street to get you the custom-made carpet you ordered a few days ago, and I will put it in the house, please go and take a look." ”
An Xian said: "Okay, I know, you have worked hard. As he spoke, he looked into his eyes, but he couldn't pretend to see it at all, he was really a profound old fox.
The housekeeper listened to An Xian's words, leaned over slightly, and retreated.
At noon, Mo Zhi also rushed home, saw An Xian looking at the carpet and walked forward: "Are you ready?" ”
An Xian smiled slightly and pulled Mo Zhi's arm: "Don't worry, I have already explained to Yusheng, Qinghe and Xia Zhu have also arranged it, just wait for him to take the bait." ”
Mo Zhi nodded: "Okay." ”
