"This time it's going to be a tiring ride for you and me again, and we won't even have a chance to rest."

On the carriage, Chen Mu raised his hand and took Meng Qing over.

Meng Qing leaned into Chen Mu's arms, she smiled, shook her head, and spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what I said is not right, I took the initiative to propose that you leave the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and go out for a private visit."

"Even if I am tired, it is my own choice, and I will not blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this."

"Besides, you are the crown prince, where do I have the courage to complain about you?"

Meng Qing winked playfully, and Chen Mu smiled when he saw this.

The carriage drove through several cities and soon marched into the capital.

No one knew about his rush back to the capital, not even the Ministry of Works, who had noticed that something was wrong with the camp, had not found out the news.

After Chen Mu returned to Beijing, he immediately asked people to arrest the people of the Ministry of Industry who had united the camps.

Although those people had already sensed that something was wrong, they still did not escape from the capital immediately because of their luck.

They did not know that the person who had probed the camps was the crown prince, but that the person who had found out was an official who had overseen the government.

And they have been walking around for the past few days, trying to find out the news of those officials, and bribe the officials who have found out the situation in the camps.

asked those officials not to report the news, but it didn't come to pass, and before they could find out the identity of the officials, they were arrested and put in the dungeon by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Chen Mu personally rushed to the dungeon and interrogated him severely.

"The Lord of the Ministry of Unions and the officials of various counties and counties are greedy for the official money used to build trade routes, and you are really so bold that you take my words as a deaf ear."

Chen Mu stared at the kneeling adults with a cold expression.

Several adults trembled with fear.

They looked up in Chen Mu's direction and pulled the corners of their mouths.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you misunderstood, although we walked around with those officials of the Ministry of Industry, but we don't know that those officials of the Ministry of Industry are greedy for official money, you can't arrest us because we are close to those officials of the Ministry of Industry."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to tell the evidence in everything!"

There were also people who tried to use strong words, Chen Mu sneered and smashed the letter in his hand in front of them.

The adults shuddered with fright, looked down, saw the contents of the letter, and looked at each other.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Letters can be forged! In order to protect themselves, those officials of the Ministry of Industry will also give false testimony to slander us! ”

"It's all here, and you still intend to quibble? Those officials slander you, they will only put them in prison, do you think they are stupid? ”

"Also, don't try to blame this on the officials who oversaw the government, the person who went to those camps to investigate the situation was not the official who supervised the government at all, but me."

Those adults suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction of Chen Mu.

Their faces were full of surprise and disbelief, and Chen Mu sneered when he saw them like this.

"So you sent people to buy off the officials who oversaw the government some time ago, but it was just a waste of effort."

"The officials who oversaw the government have reported your movements to me, and now that the evidence is overwhelming, if you are not willing to admit this crime, then I have nothing to ......do."

After saying this, Chen Mu snorted coldly, turned his head and glanced at the Lord of the Criminal Department who was standing behind him.

When the lord saw this, he stepped forward cautiously.

"Lord Lu, Lord Liu and Lord Qiu, make a decision, as for their cronies and the people of the nine clans who are implicated, they will be assigned to the frontier ......"

As soon as these words fell, several adults widened their eyes and looked up in the direction of Chen Mu in a panic.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Please spare us, we dare not ...... We don't dare anymore! ”

"The money didn't fall into our hands at all, we just helped them sort it out, this ...... This sin is not deadly! ”

Some people wanted to ask Chen Mu for leniency, but Chen Mu pouted when he heard this.

"Deceiving the superiors and deceiving the subordinates, exploiting the people's official silver, aren't these things enough to kill your head? Don't expect me to spare you. ”

After saying this, Chen Mu kicked away several adults, turned around and left the dungeon.

On the way back, Chen Mu received news again, which was related to General Xin and the people behind him.

General Naxin was still stationed in the border city, and Chen Mu had already sent people to the border city.

Although the truth of the matter has not yet been clarified, in order to prevent the matter from being revealed prematurely, General Xin led his troops to escape.

Chen Mu still decided to send people to that border city first, and once he found that something was wrong, he would immediately control them.

And in the past few days, after Chen Mu rushed back to the capital with General Zhang and his men, he also kept people investigating the matter.

After collecting some of the evidence, Chen Mu determined that General Zhang's words were correct.

He was indeed the one who led the troops to repel the enemy soldiers, surrounded and suppressed the enemy soldiers in the valley, and protected the lives of the people in the city.

His brothers, who lived and died together, died in that valley in order to protect the safety of the people.

In the end, they failed to help their generals get a little bit of military merit.

As soon as Chen Mu thought of this, he felt that his heart was blocked.

After all, he was careless, he didn't expect those border generals to be so bold, he didn't go to the border to check the situation in person, they dared to plunder the exploits of others so blatantly.

I don't know if this has happened before.

But think about how skilled those people are, think they've done this before.

It's just that I don't know if the general who was robbed of his official silver by them was as lucky as General Zhang, and took his men to temporarily avoid the mountains and forests, and barely found a way to live for himself.

"In addition, Lord Zhao and his family members also seem to have sensed that something is wrong, after all, they have been contacting the person who is spying on General Zhang."

"They sent letters, and when they didn't reply for days, they realized that most of them were in danger."

"They have also learned about what happened in the camp where the trade route was built in the last few days, and they suspect that the officials who oversaw the government have done something to their men."

It happened that on those days there were officials who oversaw the government going to those towns.

If the matter is revealed, it must be the officials who oversee the government behind the scenes.

They didn't know that the so-called official who oversaw the government was Chen Mu.

Therefore, they have been on the verge of moving in the last few days, and have found out the identity of the officials who have gone to those cities.

"It's so stupid that I don't want to confess my guilt as soon as possible, but I want to use other ways to cover up my crimes."

"As the saying goes, paper can't hold fire, and what they have done will be revealed sooner or later."

When Lord Ye heard this, he also sighed, and he arched his hand at Chen Mu.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the evidence has almost been collected, do we want to do anything to Lord Zhao and the forces behind it?"

Chen Mu frowned and thought about it for a while.

"Wait a few more days, until our men and horses control General Xin."
