"The Mobei army is invincible and has a great reputation. If they return to Beijing this time to be supported by King Ning, King Ning will take the lead in terms of combat power and people's hearts." Su Mu gentlySighing, he was not very interested in this kind of affairs above the court, and he didn't know anything about it. If he couldn't behave too well in front of the prince, he would have a lot of questions to ask.

"His Royal Highness means that if we want to still have the ability to resist at this time, then we need to prepare in advance now. In addition to the Shence Army guarding the imperial city and the imperial guard Jinwuwei, the army stationed in the city nowSome are General Gao and the soldiers of the Murong Mansion."

Gao Huan's presence here is also purely coincidental. If he hadn't happened to encounter such a case in Wang Jiang at that time, he would not have returned to Capital City because of this. think this is also a variable that King Ning did not expect, and the attitude of the Murong Mansion has always beenIt was ambiguous, until Mu Rongyang was severely tricked by Su Mu and Liu Xiaoran during the winter hunting, and was forced to stand on the opposite side of King Ning. Now if there is a real incident in Beijing, he will not stay out of it.

Looking at it this way, there are not many people who can be used in Beijing.

"However, if these defenders are all in their own way, it will be a mess." Su Mu tilted his head and simplified several forces into a few circles, using the simplest entanglement and relationship to containThe relationship diagram is expressed.

It's ugly, but it's the most important thing to see clearly.

Liu Xiaoran frowned after listening to Su Mu's words. Although he also had a premonition that the relationship between King Ning and the Prince would inevitably evolve into the current situation, but he never expected that it would be so close.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of this, there is another biggest variable in the Shence Army, that is, Jin Ke, the young son of the Jin family who doesn't know where he is now, and the dead soldiers in the dungeon really didn't say a word.Kendo said that it is impossible to find out the relationship between Jin Ke and King Ning from him, and His Royal Highness has also summoned General Jin these days, but from my point of view—he seems to really not knowJin Ke may be related to King Ning." Su Mu put the pen on his thumb and twirled it lightly, then held the pen firmly, and drew another big circle on the picture, a bold and unrestrainedThe arrow was connected to the circle of the Shence Army.

"If Jin Ke secretly returned home to persuade his father and brother, exaggerated King Ning's strength, or played up the crown prince's weakness, it is unknown if the Shence Army would turn against them."

"The Shence Army is the defender of the Imperial City. If it really reaches this point and cooperates with King Ning's forces internally and externally, wouldn't it be as easy as capturing the entire Capital City?" Su Mu sighed, and Ji Yunche said that he was naturalIt can also be considered, but this person is not something they can catch easily.

Why does it feel that in Ji Yunche's concept, it seems that Dali Temple should be invincible in arresting people?

The people of Dali Temple are also human beings.

It's not a cat that catches mice.

Just when Su Mu was wondering where to start to find out Jin Ke's whereabouts, Liu Xiaoran suddenly asked, "Yu Zhi, you've made a decision, and you've been with the prince since then?"

Su Mu was taken aback. It seemed that it had been a long time since he had been wondering whether he should stand in line. He couldn't tell which moment he made up his mind.

"It's not about going forward or retreating with the prince, but I just hope that those who died innocently because of these things can rest in peace, whether it's my father, Mo—Jing Xu's father, or those girls whose innocence was used as chips and tools,They all need the final judgment, but if they want to reveal everything, they can only stand on this side." Su Mu lowered his eyes, and he also hesitated, whether his actions have been involved in politicsThis pool of muddy water has lost its original meaning. Is the truth I am looking for no longer as clean as before.

But later he discovered that no matter which direction he reflects on, he will eventually return to the original starting point.

The dead may not see the day when the truth will be revealed, but the living still need the truth.

Based on this alone, I can only choose this path.

He originally thought that Liu Xiaoran asked this because he felt that he was biased, but when he wanted to explain again, Liu Xiaoran nodded calmly.

The words he was about to say just got stuck in his throat.

"I know Yu Zhi's heart, so I don't need to say more." Liu Xiaoran stretched out her hand and drew a new circle on Jin Ke's name. In order to be consistent with those crooked circles drawn by Su Mu, she deliberately crooked it slightlyHe wrote his own words, "We will continue to investigate Jin Ke's whereabouts. We have sent people to the nearest counties outside the city to eliminate them. If there is any news, we will send it back immediately."

Su Mu hadn't recovered from the words he was choking on just now, so he asked after a while, "But isn't Dali Temple still busy now—"

"The corruption case is coming to an end. The list of those people has been submitted to the emperor, and it will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review." Liu Xiaoran paused slightly and shook her head lightly, "It's just that the name of the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is also on the list.above."

Really check yourself.

Su Mu has no sympathy for such people who know the law and break the law.

The corruption of these people can be said to be all-encompassing, from armaments to disaster relief supplies, they are all-pervasive, and they are slowly eating away at the already wealthy court before others notice it.

"It's just, that's all we can do, the rest—"

"The rest is not for us to intervene, is it?" Su Mu suddenly bent down, the distance between the two was shortened in an instant, and even the sound of breathing was clearly audible, "We have always been after the same thing."Things, why Su Qi was silenced, how he met King Ning and became a knife in King Ning's hands, all of these require Jin Ke to give us the answer."

It has nothing to do with position, only for the truth.

This was the original direction, and it still is.

And Liu Luoxian, why was she involved in this matter?

Su Mu has a different way of thinking these days, but he doesn't want Liu Xiaoran to worry about this matter anymore. If the meaning of this is misinterpreted by someone with a heart, there will be several more versions of the gossip.

It's up to him to continue investigating this matter.

Seeing Liu Xiaoran's face close in front of him and those eyes that are always as quiet as a deep pool of water, Su Mu suddenly had some evil thoughts.

He stretched out his hand and hugged Liu Xiaoran tightly again, but soon let go, seeing the panic flashing in Liu Xiaoran's eyes, he stood up very contentedly.

"Then I'll leave first, you still have a lot of files on your desk." After he walked a few steps away, he suddenly turned around without warning, and smiled at Liu Xiaoran, who seemed to have not yet returned to God,"The new dishes on Weiguan are very delicious——"

"I know that Liu Shaoqing is busy with official duties, and I don't think I have time for a small gathering, so I will bring it to your door at night. Will Liu Shaoqing do you a favor?"

It was an emotional hug, but it seemed to have accidentally opened the most secret door in his heart. Now some words suddenly came at his fingertips, which made Su Mu very comfortable.

In stark contrast to his current mood is Liu Xiaoran. If Su Mu couldn't restrain his mood when he first entered the door, how about just now?

He clearly saw the other party smiling.

After a long time, he rubbed the corner of his forehead, and as soon as he picked up the cup, he saw the smile on his mouth reflected in it.

...

He closed the teacup calmly, coughed twice, and began to write the case file with a pen.

After leaving the door, Su Mu's destination is also very clear. He also met Liu Luoxian before. When he met for the first time, the maid next to her was clearly the girl named A'bi. Although an Eldest Young Lady hasIt's nothing unusual to have several different maids, but the maid named Sisi is a dead man, does Liu Luoxian know?

If he didn't know, why would he replace the maid who served him personally?

Does this A'bi know something?Or maybe she, like Sisi, is a dead soldier under King Ning?

When he came to the mansion where Liu Qi and his wife were temporarily staying, Su Mu thought about how to speak for a long time, but he didn't expect a suspicious voice to come from behind.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Su Mu turned around and took a look, and realized what it means to "get it without any effort". Isn't the person behind him the A'bi who he planned to interrogate?

A'bi was still dressed in white, with tear stains on his face, his face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and he seemed to be genuinely feeling sorry for his young lady.

So, one can only hope that this A'bi knows something special.

Abi recognized the young Marquis the moment Su Mu turned around, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak, and forgot the difference in identity, so she spoke after saluting as she should, and just stood there.He stared blankly at Su Mu.

Su Mu, who was a little flustered by A'bi's stare, didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

Although standing in front of someone else's house and talking about it makes him seem very suspicious, but being able to avoid meeting Liu Qi can still save a lot of trouble. Liu Qi still feels that even if Liu Luoxian was not killed by Liu Xiaoran, it was because of himAnd no matter how much he reasoned with him, the father who lost his daughter still refused to accept it.

Probably because feel that if the pain of losing a daughter is to be transformed into hatred, there must be an outlet.

"Miss A'bi, Ben Hou came here to ask you something."

Compared to Liu Qi, A'bi might be afraid of Su Mu's identity, or maybe he hasn't recovered yet, but he nodded obediently, and replied with a trembling voice: "Marquis, please tell me."

"In the past, I saw your lady was always accompanied by you. Why did you...be replaced by other people?" Su Mu watched the changes in A'bi's expression while paying attention to the movement around him.

A'bi seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I'm reporting to Marquis, I don't know why."

But she paused, as if she was recalling some scene, and after a while, she continued in a very uncertain tone: "It seems that one day, the lady didn't let the servants follow, but let Sisi go out with her."From then on, Miss only let Sisi follow her in everything she did."

"Then do you remember which day it was?"

After A'bi pondered for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he raised his head and said, "On that day, the young lady and the maid stayed at Liu Shaoqing's place for a night, and two days passed after that."
