Chapter 107: Investigation
"Your Majesty, after all, this matter is very important, and Weichen does not dare to make any rash decisions. This late-night meeting is to hope that His Majesty can make a decision and hand over this matter to our Criminal Department for investigation. ”
Marven arched his hand and spoke again.
"I agreed! This matter must be investigated, if General Su really has no rebellious heart, and everything is framed by traitors, I must give General Su an explanation! ”
"Since this document was issued from the Ministry of War, then you should start the investigation from the Ministry of War, but if you want to investigate this matter, Aiqing will inevitably be blocked by something."
As he spoke, Li Deyi took a token from his waist and handed it to Li Si, and then let Li Si hand it over to Ma Wenjin.
Holding the gold medal in his hand, Ma Wenjin was sincerely afraid.
"See the gold medal, see me! If, during the investigation, someone obstructs you, Aiqing can hold the token and mobilize the Royal Guard, and at the same time, I am giving you the right to cut first and then play! This matter must be investigated clearly and clearly! ”
Li Deyi's face was gloomy and he spoke coldly.
"Wechen obeys!"
Ma Wenjin immediately thanked him, and left the palace shortly after. And leaving the palace this time, Ma Wenjin selected more than a dozen Praetorian Guards to follow, in order to let the truth of the matter surface this morning, Ma Wenjin went to the mansion of the military department Shangshu overnight.
"My lord, it's not good. There are a lot of palace guards outside! ”
In the mansion of Zhou Wenbing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the guards at the door saw the Praetorian Guards of the palace coming here violently, and they were immediately frightened, and hurriedly returned to the mansion to wake up Zhou Wenbing, who had already slept.
When Zhou Wenbing learned that the Praetorian Guards of the palace actually came to his mansion late at night, this also made him feel confused, and then hurriedly put on his coat and hurriedly felt the front yard.
"Master Ma, what's going on?"
Zhou Wenbing looked at Ma Wenjin puzzled and said.
Although the two of them are also officials in the court, one is the secretary of the military department, and the other is the secretary of the criminal department, although they are both the six departments of the court, but the six of them have always performed their own duties, and no one has interfered with anyone.
But now, Ma Wenjin suddenly came to his mansion with the Praetorian Guards, which made Zhou Wenbing feel that something was not right.
Seeing Zhou Wenbing's panicked look, Ma Wenjin smiled and said: "Lord Zhou, don't panic, today, this official came just on the emperor's order, and he just wanted to find out a little about the situation from Lord Zhou." ”
"Disturbing Lord Zhou late at night, I hope Lord Zhou doesn't mind."
Hearing this, Zhou Wenbing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and glanced at the Praetorian Guards behind Ma Wen again, and after coming back to his senses, Zhou Wenbing invited Ma Wen to enter the main hall.
The servant looked at the tea, and then left cautiously, and at this time, Zhou Wenbing couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what Lord Ma is here for?" ”
At this moment, Ma Wenjin's expression became serious, and then he took out the document from his arms and handed it to Zhou Wenbing, saying, "Lord Zhou, this is a document from the Ministry of War, and I also ask Lord Zhou to look at it." ”
Zhou Wenbing frowned, took the document handed by Ma Wenjin, and immediately checked it, and when Zhou Wenbing saw the content of this document, he asked suspiciously: "Master Ma, I don't know where this document came from?" ”
"Why did Lord Zhou knowingly ask? On top of this document, there are thousands of names of Lord Zhou and the seal of not, and this document is naturally from the Ministry of War. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Wenbing's eyes froze, and then he said, "No! This document did not come from the Ministry of War! ”
"Huh?"
When Ma Wenjin heard this, his expression froze, and he hurriedly said, "Why did Lord Zhou say this?" ”
"It is true that there is a seal on this document, but the signature on the document is not the official's! This document is forged! ”
Zhou Wenbing said with a straight face.
"Lord Zhou is so sure?"
"Naturally! If Master Ma doesn't believe it, we can go to the Ministry of War to look at the file, every time the Ministry of War issues a document, there is a master to record, whether the document is true or false, you will know it when you check it! ”
Hearing Zhou Wenbing's words, Ma Wenjin's expression softened, although he and Zhou Wenbing are not the same department, but he knows Zhou Wenbing's personality very well.
At this moment, Zhou Wenbing spoke again: "Master Ma, this official seems to have been looking at the document for some years, and I don't know ......what this document is."
"This is the document that ordered General Su to gather a large army and support Beiliang twenty years ago! It was precisely because of the existence of this document that General Su was charged with rebellion. ”
Ma Wenjin said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenbing's face couldn't help but change, he didn't expect that this document was related to Su Xiaotian's incident twenty years ago.
However, he can be sure that twenty years ago, the Ministry of War had absolutely not issued such a document.
But when he looked at the signature on the document again, he was suddenly stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Master Ma, in addition to the signature of the official, there seems to be the signature of Lord Zhai on the document, this matter is ......."
Zhou Wenbing frowned tightly, and stopped talking.
"However, one thing has to be said is that imitating the official's signature is of some level, as if it has reached the point of being fake. This ability, compared with Cao Qing, is probably not far behind. ”
Hearing Zhou Wenbing's words, Ma Wenjin's body trembled, as if he had found some breakthrough, and hurriedly asked, "Cao Qing?" ”
"Yes, Cao Qingnai is a director of my military department, this person can be called a master of calligraphy again, and he also has a special ability, that is, copying ......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Wenbing suddenly stopped, a look of suspicion flashed on his face, since Cao Qing has such an ability, will the signature on this document be related to him?
And when Zhou Wenbing thought of this, Ma Wenjin also thought of this, and immediately asked: "Lord Zhou, I don't know that this Cao Qing is still serving in your military department?" ”
In Ma Wenjin's opinion, the suspicion of Cao Qing's forgery seems to be quite big. And the person who makes Ma Wenjin also suspicious is Zhai Tianyao!
After all, in the entire military department, the only people who are qualified to get the seal are Zhou Wenbing and Zhai Tianyao, but at this moment, Zhou Wenbing said that he didn't know about this document, and the person who stamped the document was probably only Zhai Tianyao.
On the side, Zhou Wenbing slowly spoke after hearing Ma Wenjin's words.
"Cao Qing had already resigned as the head of the military department a few years ago, and the official didn't know where he was now."
Hearing this, Ma Wenjin shook his head helplessly, it seems that this matter still has to start with Zhai Tianyao.
In order to prevent Zhai Tianyao from receiving the news in advance, Ma Wenjin did not stay in the Zhou Mansion for long, and after leaving the Zhou Mansion, he directly went to the Zhai Mansion with the Praetorian Guards.
As for Zhai Tianyao at this moment, he didn't know that the danger was slowly approaching him, and he was still worried about Zhai Rongxuan's affairs at this moment.
