The most difficult problem to deal with in ancient times was the delivery of messages.

If they wanted to deliver the news and inform the people sent to spy on General Xin that they would have to wait two or three days to take action against General Xin.

This is still the speed that can be achieved by speeding up and rushing day and night.

But even so, they couldn't take the liberty of making a move against Lord Zhao and the forces behind him.

Otherwise, if Lord Zhao used other methods to deliver news to General Xin, so that General Xin learned of their conspiracy in advance, then their plan would have been in vain.

If General Xin learned everything, his sword went sideways, and he directly led his troops to rebel, then it would be easy to say.

Chen Mu was worried that he would take this opportunity to take refuge in several other enemy countries on the border.

If this is the case, it is easy to threaten the safety of the people on the border.

Chen Mu commanded, and Lord Ye nodded in response.

They returned to the palace, and Chen Mu thought that the next few days would be waiting for news, and when it was certain that Lord Xin was controlled, they would be able to do something to Lord Zhao and the others.

As a result, he didn't expect that Lord Zhao would be mad.

After speculating that it was the officials who oversaw the government that took his henchmen and General Zhang and others away, he has been on the verge of making a move against the views of the superintendent.

noticed that Chen Mu had not done anything to them in the past few days.

Then Lord Zhao made up his mind to immediately arrest and kill the officials who supervised the government, so that they could ensure that their plot would not be revealed.

Border military power, that's such an important thing.

They have worked hard to gain military power and military merit, and they don't want their past efforts to be ruined because of carelessness.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the big thing is not good, I have something important to report!"

On this day, Chen Mu was processing documents in the main hall when he suddenly heard this call for harmony.

It was the person he sent to keep an eye on Lord Zhao.

Chen Mu's eyes froze, and he immediately responded.

The guards stumbled into the main hall and explained what they had just learned.

Lord Zhao sent people to assassinate several officials who were overseeing the government.

Because there was no way to tell which official knew about their plot, he actually made a frenzy to the officials who were not in the capital for a few days!

Five or six officials were assassinated at the same time.

Two were seriously injured, while others barely survived, but also suffered some minor injuries.

"We kept staring at Lord Zhao, and we didn't notice anything wrong at the first time."

"It wasn't until the news of the injury of the officials who supervised the government reached our ears that we speculated on the clues we had learned and judged that Lord Zhao did it to the officials who supervised the government."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Chen Mu's eyes were cold.

"I know, I'll send someone to arrest those people immediately."

"It's not just the assassins sent by Lord Zhao, but also Lord Zhao and the people of the family behind Lord Zhao."

Are they so blatant that they are sure that they don't know what they are doing?

Even so, he sent surprise soldiers to capture them all, and he didn't think they would have the opportunity to send news to General Xin.

In addition, it was only half a day before General Xin was controlled by the men and horses he sent.

In this half a day, I didn't have time to do anything to Lord Zhao and the others.

The facts did not surprise Chen Mu.

When he sent cavalry to surround Lord Zhao's mansion, Lord Zhao was still drinking with his concubine in his mansion.

When he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people to surround his mansion, Lord Zhao was taken aback.

He didn't even think that the prince had sent people to surround his mansion because of the officials who oversaw the palace.

He thinks that his subordinates are clean, but he doesn't know that in the last few days, someone has been eyeing him for a long time.

His every move was under Chen Mu's watch.

After being arrested and taken to the dungeon, Lord Zhao immediately asked for his life and wanted to meet Chen Mu in person.

Seeing Lord Zhao's proposal, Chen Mu immediately drove to the dungeon.

In the dungeon, Lord Zhao looked confused, and seeing Chen Mu leading people into the cell, Lord Zhao immediately looked at Chen Mu.

Just as he was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of a figure behind Chen Mu.

Lord Zhao's face changed, that person was none other than General Zhang.

Lord Zhao's eyelids jumped.

"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

"You...... The person behind you is General Zhang, isn't he already dead on the battlefield? Why is it in front of me? What's going on? ”

When Lord Zhao asked this, he meant some temptation.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Lord Zhao, you know better than anyone why General Zhang is alive."

"Let General Xin take away General Zhang's military merits, relying on his eyes all over the border, so he used such a method of stealing beams and changing pillars to cover the sight of the people above."

"Lord Zhao, you're so calculating."

Lord Zhao's knees weakened, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

He didn't expect that Chen Mu would already know all this.

He glanced at General Zhang, and was about to say something when he heard Chen Mu say again.

"I have already sent someone to control General Xin, don't expect to delay time, wait for General Xin to get the news and rush to the capital to save you."

"Besides, I didn't expect you to be so careless, mistakenly thinking that it was the official who supervised the government to find out about General Zhang."

"Then you will do it to the officials who supervise the government, and you would rather kill by mistake than let go, if you are born in troubled times, you will be a great hero."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Lord Zhao's forehead.

Chen Mu sneered, and seeing that Lord Zhao was speechless, he called the Lord of the Criminal Department again, took the evidence, and forced him to interrogate.

Lord Zhao saw that the general trend was gone, so he confessed all the evil things he had done, he didn't ask for anything else, just to let Chen Mu let his family go.

"Spare your family? What about General Zhang's family? They were kept in the dark, thinking that their families were killed, and they didn't even leave a single message......"

"You still intend to use General Zhang's family to blackmail him, what qualifications do you have to ask me to forgive your family?"

"Everything is dealt with according to the laws of Great Xia, you plundered other people's military exploits, deceived your superiors and subordinates, and murdered court officials, this is a serious crime, and you should be punished by the nine clans."

Lord Zhao's body went limp, and he completely fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Mu didn't say much, only waved his hand and left the dungeon with his men.

The matter has been taken care of, and General Xin was dismissed from his official position and escorted to the capital.

The people in the city were even more embarrassed to learn that the famous general who defended the city was actually the one who plundered the military exploits of others.

Chen Mu asked the emperor for an order and rewarded General Zhang again.

At the ceremony, General Zhang's family knelt under the stone steps and burst into tears.

Together with General Zhang, they thanked Chen Mu, their eyes full of gratitude.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, help my son find out the truth of the matter, and give my son justice."

"We, the Zhang family, will definitely serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forever!"
