Chapter 116: Lies
Qin Yi secretly hoped that King Mu could find out Quan Shenhan's problem and solve the problem.
Of course, he also knows that this is his wishful thinking.
If Quan Shenhan really had a problem, or if King Mu really caught Quan Shenhan, he would not let him still stand here in this official uniform.
"Reporting to the prince, I just don't know how to reply. This is a bit...a bit embarrassing." Quan Shenhan replied.
Just then, he restrained his thoughts and immediately thought of an excuse.
King Mu remained silent, staring closely at Quan Shenhan.
"The death of You Rui was due to my wrong judgment." Quan Shenhan put on an embarrassed expression, "I learned from the scouts that a crossbow machine had appeared in the Yinlian Valley. The general was very confused, so he brought a
All the soldiers went to Yinlian Valley to investigate."
"When we arrived at the Yinlian Valley, the general was careless and took no precautions. He directly sent his soldiers out to look for clues." Quan Shenhan blamed himself, "The general was looking at a crossbow machine when he suddenly heard a miserable howl.
Only then did I realize that You Rui had been killed by a bandit who was still alive."
This is a lie, it must be a lie... When Qin Yi heard this, he knew that Quan Shenhan was lying.
If the bandit is not dead, he will never dare to take action without permission.
At this time, survival is the first priority. The bandits will definitely wait until there is no one around, get up and check, and only dare to leave if there are no problems. It is impossible to attack directly.
He wanted to refute Quan Shenhan, but here, he had no official status and should not speak without consent.
Even if he relied on King Mu's praise to question Quan Shenhan, it would have no effect.
Because there is no evidence that Quan Shenhan is lying.
Even if you ask about the body, the person will definitely say that it was left in the Yinlian Valley.
There were corpses everywhere and it was impossible to find them.
King Mu stared at Quan Shenhan closely and said nothing for a long time. Then he said coldly, "I will send the imperial spy guards to investigate. I hope you will do exactly what you said."
Quan Shenhan pursed his lips and said nothing, feeling slightly relieved.
This level has been passed.
Of course, he also knew that he would definitely be punished if he left the city without permission, but there was a reason for it and the consequences would not be too serious.
For him, saving his life is the most important thing. Only in this way can he make a comeback.
Qin Yi sat aside and always felt that there was something wrong.
Regarding this You Rui, Quan Shenhan must have concealed a huge secret.
Maybe the other person's sudden departure from the city has something to do with this person, so you have to check it yourself!
Although the Royal Spy Guards are powerful, they can't rely entirely on them. Maybe they can find out problems that they can't?
After the questioning, King Mu frowned and remained silent.
Zeng Mingzhi and others stood in silence with their heads bowed, not daring to speak.
The atmosphere became a little dull.
After a moment, King Mu suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty gave me the imperial edict and appointed me as the imperial envoy. In addition to investigating your mistakes, the biggest purpose is to find out the origin of the military crossbow."
This is the main reason for the empress' anger.
So now, King Mu’s first priority is to find out the source of the military crossbow.
However, the Royal Spy Guards have been investigating for several days, but there are no useful clues.
The bandit leader Jiao Mao, one of the few people who knew the truth, died in prison, so the clues were interrupted.
This is also the reason why King Mu dislikes Zeng Mingzhi very much.
If it weren't for this guy's meritorious service and the fact that the government office needed people to maintain it, King Mu would be the first to dismiss him and investigate him.
"But I still have no clue. I wonder who among you can give me some answers." King Mu squinted and scanned the people in the hall with his sharp eyes.
Looking at him, Zeng Mingzhi felt a chill running down his spine, and he quickly shook his head, "Reporting to the prince, I'm busy cleaning up the aftermath. Before I could interrogate Jiao Mao, this guy..."
He didn't dare to say the next words for fear of angering King Mu again.
The implication is that he didn't get any clues, so the insider died.
King Mu's eyelids twitched and his anger soared, but he still suppressed it, snorted angrily, turned his head and looked at Jing Xun.
Jing Xun's expression was peaceful, neither sad nor happy, and he slowly shook his head.
He just came back yesterday and asked Min Tai, but he didn't get any useful clues.
Without waiting for King Mu to look at it, Quan Shenhan quickly replied, "Replying to the prince, the general also doesn't know about it."
King Mu's face became darker and darker, as if he was brewing great anger.
If there are no clues, there will be no progress in this case, so what's the use of him coming all the way here?
Wouldn’t it be betraying the empress’s trust?
He was about to reprimand when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the corner, "Your Majesty, this student knows a little bit, but I don't know if it will be useful."
After hearing what Qin Yi said, King Mu immediately stopped his anger and turned his head to look, somewhat shocked.
Zeng Mingming felt happy in his heart, secretly sighing that Qin Yi was really his blessing.
If no one really knows, King Mu will definitely be extremely angry and anger them.
Qin Yineng stepped forward and calmed down King Mu's anger.
"Tell me and listen." King Mu calmed down his anger, his expression became calm, and he said slowly.
"When the students led the crowd to capture Jiao Mao, they found that the bandits had dozens of crossbows, so they interrogated them personally and learned the origin of the military crossbows." Qin Yi said loudly.
Everyone was startled and suddenly turned to look at Qin Yi.
Even Quan Shenhan, Bai Guanglin and others were full of surprise.
After King Mu was surprised, he became happy and said quickly, "Please tell me."
Originally, he was angry at Jiao Mao being silenced, but he didn't expect that Qin Yi actually asked for the news.
This is a great achievement!
"Jiao Mao said frankly that he did not know who gave the crossbow machine. The other party was too secretive and did not show up during the whole process. He first sent a letter expressing his willingness to fund, and then sent a letter asking the bandits to go to Liulang Mountain, where they are.
Funding." Qin Yi said quickly, "When the bandits arrived at Liulang Mountain, they saw more than 800 crossbow machines and nearly 3,000 crossbow arrows."
After listening to what Qin Yi said, King Mu's eyes shrank.
Sure enough, there is a traitor!
And it’s not ordinary stuff!
The other party is so secretive, which shows that the plan is not small!
Although shocked, King Mu was also slightly happy. Qin Yi gave extremely useful clues!
Suppressing his joy, he nodded calmly, "You did a good job. I will mark this credit for you."
After saying that, he nodded to the imperial spy guard Qianhu behind him, who quickly walked out and arranged for people to go to Liulang Mountain to investigate.
Everyone in the hall has many thoughts.
Especially Zeng Mingzhi and Quan Shenhan, at the beginning, they only cared about themselves, worried that they would be severely punished, and did not think much about the crossbow machine.
Now after listening to what Qin Yi said, they realized that some people with evil intentions were brewing a huge conspiracy.
This conspiracy will affect the entire Linzhan and even cause overthrow!
It must not be underestimated.
