Chapter 127: A knife wound escaped to the palace at night
The adjutant waited for a knife to walk away, and then lowered his head and eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. ()
"My lord, the villain has not been able to fulfill the adult's entrustment, so I have come to ask the adult for his guilt. The adjutant walked into Sima Lingyun's room, saw Sima Lingyun holding a teacup, and said to Sima Lingyun thoughtfully.
"What?!So many people can't even catch an assassin!What a bunch of rice buckets!" Seeing the adjutant's words, Sima Lingyun didn't feel a burst of rage, and yelled at the adjutant in front of him.
"Please also calm your anger, although the subordinates were incompetent and failed to arrest the Assassin, when the Assassin held them hostage, the subordinates took advantage of the chaos to remove a token from the Assassin's body. Please take a look at it. Seeing that Sima Lingyun was furious, the man hurriedly said the next word. Then he took out the token on his body, raised his hands, and presented it to Sima Lingyun.
Sima Lingyun came to the adjutant's side, stretched out his hand to take the waist card in his hand, and doubled it in his hand, not feeling that his face suddenly became gloomy. Then Sima Lingyun said to the adjutant in front of him: "Do you have anything about this waist card?"
"My lord, the villain has nothing, so I'll let the adults read it. When the adjutant heard Sima Lingyun's question, he didn't feel a cold sweat on his body, because he knew that the people behind the token were very important, and if he knew, something would happen, so he hurriedly started sloppy and said perfunctorily to Sima Lingyun in front of him.
"That's good, you get up first, hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, I'm going out." When Sima Lingyun saw the adjutant ask, he understood the intention of the adjutant's words, but he didn't think about it so much, and hurriedly instructed the adjutant to prepare a car for himself.
Sima Lingyun walked quickly towards the door, and then got on the game.
"Master, where are we going?" The coachman saw that the old man Sima Lingyun got into the sedan chair, so he asked Sima Lingyun.
"Enter the palace. Sima Lingyun saw the sedan chair man inquiring, so he said lightly, and then his face was full of panic, and his hands tightly clutched the token taken from the killer.
When the coachman heard this, he didn't feel puzzled for a while, because he had also done it in Sima's Mansion
After a while, Sima Lingyun's carriage came to the outside of the palace, because it was already a little dark now, the streets outside the palace were sparsely populated, and there were only a few people in twos and threes. And the palace gate has also been closed, although Sima Lingyun is a scholar, but he must first find someone to play the queen's mother, and wait for the queen's mother's announcement.
"It's Lord Sima, I don't know how I suddenly entered the palace so late at night. If there is nothing particularly important, just come back tomorrow morning, it is estimated that the queen mother should have gone to bed. When the guard guarding the door saw Sima Lingyun walking down, he said kindly to Sima Lingyun.
"I appreciate your kindness, but at this time, it is a matter of Jiangshan Sheji, and it is troublesome to spread it. Although Sima Lingyun knew that the guards were well-intentioned, but because it was indeed a matter of Jiangshan Sheji at this time, Sima Lingyun still asked the guards to pass on the queen's mother.
After a while, the guards returned.
"Lord Sima, the queen is invited. ”
Hearing the queen's announcement, Sima Lingyun hurriedly walked towards the queen's bedroom.
Sima Lingyun was a fool all the way, because he didn't know how to tell Niangniang, and came to the door of the queen's bedroom, Sima Lingyun saw Niangniang sitting in the main hall of the dormitory with a tired face.
"Weichen Sima Lingyun visited the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old. Sima Lingyun said to the queen mother in front of him.
"I don't know what happened to Sima Aiqing's late-night visit?" Queen Mu said to Sima Lingyun.
"Niangniang, you have 30 days to solve the case of theft of military salaries, and tomorrow is the deadline. But tomorrow morning, Chao Weichen doesn't know how to tell it?" Sima Lingyun's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and then said to Queen Mu.
"What are the results of your investigation?" Seeing Sima Lingyun's embarrassed face, Queen Mu walked to Sima Lingyun's side and asked.
"The queen mother, please believe that the mother should know this. Sima Lingyun said as he took out the token from between his sleeves, and then presented his hands to Queen Mu's side.
Queen Mu stretched out her hand to take the token in Sima Lingyun's hand, and then took it in her hand and saw that the word 'Li' was impressively printed on the token. The other side of the token is printed with the word 'king'. Empress Mu immediately recognized that this was the token of Li An's Palace, but what was the connection between this and the case that Sima Lingyun said today? Empress Mu turned to Sima Lingyun and said.
"Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" Queen Mu lowered her head and looked at the token.
"Niangniang, this token is what I got from a killer, this incident is like this, that day we were in Fengyunling through the help of a teenager, caught the person who robbed the official salary, but the person who robbed the military salary was not the mastermind, but also by the order of the person, and after the mastermind knew, he sent someone to threaten him with the person's family, and as a result, the person committed suicide in the prison, in order to lure the snake out of the hole, he claimed that this person hit the wall, but did not die, but recuperated in my house. Later, I found someone to pretend to be a dead person to lure his accomplices into being fooled, and sure enough, I really waited for his accomplices. And this token was obtained from this killer. Sima Lingyun said in detail to the Wood Queen in front of him.
"Sure enough, it was Ang Lee, secretly recruiting troops. Military spending is insufficient. But I didn't expect to start the idea of military spending on the border of the imperial court. Hmph, the motive for rebellion is becoming more and more obvious. When Queen Mu heard Sima Lingyun's words, she showed a look of disdain, then lowered the token in her hand, and then held the token tightly in her hand.
It turned out that the queen mother had long known about Ang Lee's wolf ambitions, and she might have coveted Ang Lee's 50,000 horses outside the palace, so she didn't act rashly, and kept turning one eye open and one eye closed to Ang Lee.
"Niangniang, how should Weichen say it tomorrow morning in the morning court? Sima Lingyun thought that this matter was very important, so he asked Queen Mu for instructions.
"Now that most of the imperial army's army is guarding the border pass, there are only 3,000 Praetorian Guards in the palace, and it is difficult to compete with Li An's 50,000 iron cavalry, so it is very unwise to clash with Li An now, plus Li An has been entangled with Ouyang Feilong recently, and he has no time to take care of us, so you should first humble Li An in words, and send capable people to go to the border pass to transfer back the 100,000 army to stabilize the situation. When Queen Mu heard Sima Lingyun's words, she thought for a moment, and then said to Sima Lingyun.
