Dajin's spies, Dawei's traitors, none of them have been found out, and now there is another one who makes him lose face, is it so difficult for me to sit firmly?

"Commander Yan has already sent someone to investigate." The spy hung his head very low.

"You go back and tell Yan Dabai that if you can't find the cotton clothes within half a month, he can leave office."

Yan Dabai was selected by Li Zhen, if he can't even do this trivial matter, it is that he has no eyes and does not know people clearly, and it is necessary to change to a more useful person to sit in this position.

"The subordinates know, and the subordinates retire." The spy stood up tremblingly, pushed open the door, and left the city lord's mansion in the night.

After the spies left, Li Zhen was left alone in the guest room, he sat on the stool and squinted, his eyes flashing with cold light.

Who the hell would steal cotton clothes?

This is a new thing, no one knows the role of cotton clothes, it will only be treated as ordinary clothes, who will go out of their way to steal it?

Just to steal a cart of clothes?

Did the prince do it? Or is it the remnant of the previous dynasty? Or maybe it's the queen?

Li Xingchen soon knew about the theft of cotton clothes, even if Li Zhen deliberately concealed it, he didn't hide it for a night.

Li Xingchen was furious, speculating that the person who stole the cotton clothes must be in the same group as the person who robbed the cotton at the post station, and immediately decided to take Yuan Wanshan and 5,000 male soldiers to the capital to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Li Zhen actually didn't want to go back, he had soap for use in Lingzhou, hot springs for soaking, and occasionally stole Li Xingchen's cotton clothes to warm his body.

What do you have to do when you return to the capital? Except for a false throne, there is nothing.

Seeing that Li Xingchen was determined to go in person, Li Zhen had to go back with him, and he was also afraid that if he didn't go back to take charge, the people's hearts would be defeated, and they would be completely retracted by the rebels in his mouth.

So, a group of people rushed back to the capital.

Ten days later, the Royal Palace.

Yan Dabai trembled and knelt in the imperial study.

"Have you found the whereabouts of the cotton clothes? I've given you enough time. ”

Yan Dabai was so frightened that he shook his wit, "Back to the emperor, Weichen has sent people to search with all his might, day and night, and searched from house to house, making people panic, not even seeing the shadow of the cotton clothes, as if they disappeared out of thin air." ”

"You guys are really ashamed, a group of people can't see cotton clothes, did they all grow up eating?" Li Zhen said angrily.

Li Xingchen frowned, and the vast army searched the cotton clothes layer by layer, which also made the people panic, which really shouldn't be.

Li Zhen got up from the dragon chair and kicked Yan Dabai on the shoulder, venting all his anger on him.

"A thousand forbidden troops, a whole thousand forbidden troops, unknowingly stolen a cart of cotton clothes? It's because I'm so nice to you that your ears are blocked by and you can't hear any movement, right? ”

Yuan Wanshan added fuel and vinegar with a disdainful face, "Forbidden army? Sounds so tall, tsk, in fact, I can't even compare to the ordinary male soldiers in my Lingzhou. ”

Ouch, wow!

These words made Li Zhen's face even more gloomy, and he slapped Yan Dabai on the face again.

"Waste, it's all waste, I'm going to dismiss you and investigate you."

Li Xingchen looked at him lightly, knowing that Li Zhen was going to move seriously this time.

I'm afraid that many of these forbidden soldiers will be replaced and replaced with a new batch of blood.

Perhaps this is a good time to arrange for intelligence agents to infiltrate the palace.

"Emperor Lao'er, don't delay any longer, the first thing is to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of cotton clothes. Yuan Wanshan, listen to orders. ”

"The last general!" Yuan Wanshan respectfully faced Li Xingchen and bent his body slightly.

"Lead the Lingzhou Army into action!"

"The last general commands!"

Five thousand Lingzhou troops were dispatched at the same time, causing the entire capital to be surprised and frightened.

The previous forbidden army, saying that it would be the middle of the night, would break in, completely disregarding the privacy of the people, and rushing in was a search that turned over boxes and cabinets, which made them angry.

Now that Li Xingchen is here, he is here with his Lingzhou army, they are the kind-hearted side, and they will really treat the people as individuals.

Before interrogation and before the search, they will be courteous to each other, and they will only enter the house and search after obtaining permission.

Many people had a sour nose, and they directly cried, complaining to the Lingzhou Army about the shameless behavior of the forbidden army, hoping that Li Xingchen could administer justice to them and execute all those dogs who were royal guards.

Also, before Li Xingchen came to the capital, he ordered Dugu Ling to lead an intelligence team of 100 people to secretly go to the capital, and now that there is turmoil, it is the best time for intelligence officers to gain a firm foothold.

Clearly Yuan Wanshan led the Lingzhou Army to thoroughly investigate the capital, and secretly Dugu Ling led the intelligence team to secretly collect intelligence.

It is estimated that it will not take long to find the clues.

In the imperial study, Li Zhen's face was dark, giving people a feeling that he would explode at any time, which made the prime minister tremble.

"Your Majesty, could it be that some official of the imperial court sent someone to steal it? Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to have such accurate information. ”

"No, it won't." Li Zhen shook his head, "When the time comes, it will officially go on sale, just buy a few more pieces directly, there is no need to take such a big risk to steal in front of the forbidden army." ”

Li Xingchen touched his chin, the powerful disdain to steal if they have money, and ordinary people don't have that strength, so there is only one possibility.

Whether it is the one who shot Hong Qitian every day, the one who reported to Hong Qitian and Li Zhenxiang, or the one who robbed cotton, including the one who stole cotton clothes this time, they are all the same force.

I just don't know what this force is trying to do.

Is it for yourself, or for the emperor?

In any case, with the all-out search of both light and dark, Li Xingchen believes that it will not take long to know the answer.

"Emperor Lao'er, don't frown, drink tea, relax and relax." Li Xingchen smiled.

Some things have to wait, and they can't be rushed.

The prime minister looked at him incredulously, and he could still laugh when his cotton clothes were stolen?

instantly understood, Li Xingchen is not an idle person, this state of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face, except for Li Xingchen, it is estimated that no one can do it, I really admire.

On the same day, Yuan Wanshan hurriedly came to the palace.

"City Lord, the thieves who stole the cotton have been found, they have left the capital and are currently resting in an abandoned bandit den not far from the capital."

This matter was investigated by the intelligence team brought by Dugu Ling, and Dugu Ling told Yuan Wanshan, and Yuan Wanshan rushed to inform Li Xingchen.

Li Xingchen immediately went with Yuan Wanshan.

When they rushed over, the 5,000 Lingzhou army was already in ambush in the surrounding area.

"Listen to the first team, follow me in and search. The rest of the people continued to lie in ambush, and if any thief escaped, they would be killed. ”

"Yes, Castle Lord!"

The 1,000 people of the first squad got up and lined up together, following Li Xingchen and Yuan Wanshan into the abandoned bandits' den.
