Chapter 483: The Whereabouts of the Leader
Zhang ...... General Zhang? We don't know where he went, but that day he went to visit my city, and found that the situation in the city was not right, and he was going to make a false accusation with me and spy on it. ”
"As a result, I discovered the anomaly, and I sent a killer to ambush him at the banquet where he was entertained...... As a result, he noticed that something was wrong in advance and hurried away. ”
"I've been searching for his whereabouts lately, but there's been no news."
One of the county officials bowed and said.
When Chen Mu heard this, he sneered, and the county official shuddered, and glanced at Chen Mu carefully.
Chen Mu ignored him, waved his hand at him, and someone stepped forward to bring those county officials into the side hall and locked them up.
The innkeeper on the side was dumbfounded.
It took him a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses, and saw Chen Mu turn his head in his direction, and the innkeeper fell to his knees with a thud.
He had already understood the conversations of several people, and he knew the true identity of the young man in front of him, Chen Mu said slowly.
"Regarding my identity, I hope you don't make a statement, I will help the people of your city seek justice."
The innkeeper nodded in response, his body trembling with excitement and his eyes red.
He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
When Chen Mu saw the innkeeper's appearance, he shook his head, waved his hand at the other party, and motioned for the other party to retreat first.
"General Zhang actually ran away? So where did he go? If he escapes the pursuit of those county officials, then he should send news to the capital as soon as possible......"
Master Ye felt a little confused, Chen Mu also nodded, he pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered something.
"If those rebels really had to rebel because they were exploited by the local county officials, then they would definitely want to send news to the capital."
"But until now, I have never heard of it from the mouths of our people."
There is a possibility that the forces of the capital and these county officials have stopped the news of the rebels.
But if this is the case, who is the person who spreads rumors in the capital and suppresses his reputation?
If you can send people to spread rumors in the capital, why can't you send him news?
"There is something else going on in this matter, you can ask the county officials if the capital forces that conspired with them have stopped the news sent by the rebels, if so, if this is the case."
"Then I guess it's not them who spread rumors in the capital and suppress the prestige of me and my father, but someone else."
When Lord Ye heard this, he immediately responded, and he turned around and hurriedly retreated.
After a while, bringing back the news, he looked serious and nodded at Chen Mu.
As soon as Chen Mu saw him like this, he knew that his guess was not wrong, and he sneered.
"I was wrong, when I sent people to investigate, my subordinates came back with the news that there were people from the north spreading the news in the city, so I thought that those rebels were behind the trouble."
"Now that I look at it again, it is clear that these county officials are making trouble behind the scenes, and it may also be the capital forces that are united with them, and they are worried that their manpower will be discovered, so they have summoned people from the north."
"Trying to suppress the prestige of me and my father, these people are really bold."
Thinking about the promise that the people of that force had promised the county officials that they would help them escape from the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future, Chen Mu understood the purpose of their actions.
It was thought that they would be separated from the people, so as to ensure that when these county officials rebelled in the future, they would act more smoothly.
"The rebels were unable to send news to the capital because the forces in the capital had stopped all the news from the north."
"In this way, if General Zhang also sends someone to send the news, it is very likely that he will be stopped by the news sent by the capital forces as the rebels in the north, etc., is it possible that General Zhang is in the hands of the rebels."
Lord Ye had an idea and thought of this possibility,
When Chen Mu heard this, he also nodded.
"Investigating the whereabouts of those rebels, several groups of rebels were suppressed by the people brought by General Zhang, but two of them still escaped, most of them hiding in nearby cities and mountains."
The secret agents around Chen Mu were very strong, and they had a way to detect the traces of those rebels, and seeing Chen Mu so ordered, Lord Ye nodded in response and left in a hurry.
After another half a day, Lord Ye's people sent back the news, and sure enough, they found out the whereabouts of those rebels.
The rebels disguised themselves as civilians infiltrated several less well-defended cities, planning their next move.
"My subordinates did not find out the whereabouts of General Zhang from those people, but they did find the traces of a person who is suspected to be the leader of the cavalry, His Royal Highness the Prince, do I want to arrest that person?"
Hearing this, Chen Mu thought about it for a moment and shook his head.
"Don't arrest it, if you catch it, you will make a disturbance again, it is very easy for the people in the capital to notice that something is wrong, I will go with you to the city where the person is hiding and talk to the person face to face."
Lord Ye's eyelids jumped.
No, it's too dangerous.
This is equivalent to going deep into the base camp of the rebels, Chen Mu saw Lord Ye frowning and shook his head to refuse, he said coldly.
"You also said that there are only a few dozen people around the cavalry leader, and they are still scattered in the city, I should be able to deal with it if I take the guards and go to the city."
"If you rush to arrest people, it will be easy for those people from the hidden forces in the capital to find out that something is wrong."
In order to prevent the people in the capital from noticing that something was wrong, after Chen Mu arrested those county officials in the past few days, he sent his subordinates to live in the mansions of those county officials disguised as those county officials, so as to stabilize the spies in the city.
If he really acted rashly and leaked his deeds, then his previous efforts would be in vain.
Seeing that Chen Mu insisted, Master Ye was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and nodded in response.
Chen Mu didn't delay, simply cleaned up, and went to that city with Lord Ye.
The city was not well defended, and there were spies patrolling the city, but the city was not garrisoned.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the leaders of the rebel army infiltrated the city with their men, disguised as civilians and living in a few empty houses.
During the day, people passed by the empty houses, and they were silent without a sound, until now the spies of the city and the people of the city thought that the empty houses were uninhabited.
Chen Mu sneaked into the mansion with his men silently, walked around the backyard, and finally heard some small human voices coming from a room.
The person talking in the room kept his voice so low that he could barely hear the conversation in the room unless he approached the window.
"We have to think of a way to rescue my brother from the barracks, those people haven't killed our brother yet, if it's too late, I'm afraid they won't be going to do it to our brother."
