Pro-military guard station.

Xiao Huan frowned, thinking about everything that happened last night, and fell into deep thought.

He couldn't figure out why two unscrupulous forces suddenly appeared in Kyoto City, and they actually chose to commit major crimes on the same night.

Such a big thing happened, even His Majesty was alarmed. If a satisfactory result cannot be found as soon as possible, it will be impossible to explain to His Majesty, otherwise the entire Jinwu Guard will be implicated.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and a Jinwu Guard quickly appeared at the door.

"Commander, there is a woman outside asking to see you, saying that she has an appointment with you."

The subordinate bowed his hands and said respectfully, with a sly smile flashing between his eyebrows.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because the appearance of the visiting woman is so outstanding. Once you take a look at it, her appearance will be etched in your mind.

"Bring her in!"

Xiao Huan glanced at his subordinates with complicated expressions in confusion, waved his hands, and said impatiently.

An appointment?

But in his impression, he had no agreement with anyone, not to mention that the other party was a woman.

The subordinate agreed, immediately turned around and left. Not long after, he brought a beautiful woman to the door, and then reluctantly retreated.

Seeing this woman, even Xiao Huan couldn't help being startled by her appearance, and almost dropped the teapot in his hand.

"Who are you?!"

Xiao Huan realized that he had lost his position, coughed twice, looked at the woman, and asked in a deep voice.

"The little girl comes from Mixue Bing Pavilion and has met Commander Xiao."

The woman bowed her hands and spoke softly, her voice extremely beautiful.

But when Xiao Huan heard the woman's words, he suddenly lost his admiring mood. He stood up subconsciously, and a flash of nervousness quickly flashed across his face.

The people in Mixue Bing Pavilion naturally represent His Highness the Grand Sun!

"I see. I wonder if His Highness the Grand Sun has anything to send you?"

Xiao Huan cupped his hands and asked cautiously.

"Your Highness has something to convey to Commander Xiao."

The woman nodded, glanced sideways at the door after speaking, and then stepped closer to Xiao Huan.

"Girl, please tell me."

Xiao Huan also became serious and asked in a deliberately lowered voice.

"The people who attacked the wine shop and the Jiaofang Division were spies from Beiyuan."

The woman came closer and whispered.

"what?"

Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but look surprised, and looked at the woman in confusion.

"His Highness has only said this much. Commander Xiao can go to the palace to report with confidence. Although many people died last night, as long as Commander Xiao replies like this, the Jinwu Guards will be exempted from the crime of negligence."

The woman pursed her lips and gave a meaningful reminder.

"Xiao understands. Thank you for your hard work, Miss."

Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, bowed hurriedly, and said gratefully.

When he got up, he found that the woman's back was already outside the door, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He was surprised and confused about the Beiyuan spy. He couldn't figure it out for a moment. But since His Highness Taisun specially sent someone to warn him, it was natural that His Highness Taisun had his intentions.

So, Xiao Huan left the guardhouse without staying too long and went straight to the palace.

...

Splendid Palace.

In Zhu Yunzhen's dormitory, a guard in golden clothes, led by the guards, avoided everyone and quietly walked into the hall.

"What's the matter?!"

After Zhu Yunwen saw the person coming, there was no expression on his face and he asked in a deep voice.

He has never had a good impression of the Jin Yiwei, not only because many people in the court died because of the Jin Yiwei, but also because the members of the Jin Yiwei were accustomed to relying on the imperial power to be arrogant and domineering in the capital.

Especially for Jiang Wei, he had never had a good impression. He initially did not approve of the relationship between the concubine and Jin Yiwei, but later he felt that with the help of Jin Yiwei, a lot of things could be done, so he acquiesced. Cooperation between Jinxiu Palace and Jinyiwei.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Commander Jiang asked Xiao Xiao to tell His Highness that although Xie Linzhou has still refused to admit that he colluded with the rebel party, the confessions of those three people are enough to make him lose His Majesty's trust."

"If His Highness wants to go further, Commander Jiang has other ways to confirm Xie Linzhou's identity as a traitor! It depends on His Highness's choice."

The visitor bowed his hands and said respectfully, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"What do you mean by this?!"

"Is he bargaining? Is he blackmailing me?!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face immediately darkened and he asked coldly.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. Commander Xiao is just discussing the matter. If there is no other evidence, even if His Majesty refuses to let Xie Linzhou go in the end, the credit for uncovering the traitor will probably be greatly reduced, because apart from the oral confession, there is really nothing else The evidence can prove that Xie Linzhou is the traitor."

The visitor shook his head hurriedly and reminded him respectfully.

"That's enough! I'm arresting Xie Linzhou just to root out traitors and eliminate hidden dangers! It's not to get rewards for meritorious service!"

"No matter how Xie Linzhou tries to quibble, he can't get rid of the fact that he is a traitor! There is no need to fabricate any other evidence!"

"Go back and tell Jiang Wei, advise him to take care of himself, and don't pretend to be smart in front of His Majesty's eyes!"

Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"I understand what Your Highness means. I will report the truth to Commander Chiang after I return."

"But Commander Jiang also asked me to tell His Highness a piece of news..."

"Not long ago, His Highness Taisun arrived at Jinyiwei on His Majesty's orders to interrogate Xie Linzhou."

The visitor hurriedly agreed, then raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yunzhen, and said meaningfully.

"what?!"

"First, I handed over the witnesses and confessions, and now Jin Yiwei is responsible for the interrogation. Why should I hand it over to the third child for interrogation?!"

"What can he find out?!"

Hearing the words of the visitor, Zhu Yunwen suddenly became anxious, stood up directly, and said loudly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his behavior was a bit extreme. He glanced at the person with vigilance, coughed twice, and sat down again, but his brows had already been knitted together.

"Your Highness may not know yet, but last night His Highness Taisun went to the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate Nai'er Buhua, a general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and obtained a confession. He had already entered the palace to report to His Majesty earlier."

"Nai'er Buhua personally admitted that there was an inside story hidden behind the rebellion that His Highness absolutely did not expect."

The visitor smiled and said slowly.

"What's the inside story?!"

Zhu Yunwen's face changed slightly and he asked hurriedly.

Li Jinglong clearly told him that the third child was not arraigned at all in the Criminal Department. He was either drinking or playing chess, and was just going through the motions. When was he really going to be arraigned? !

And got the confession in person? !

"Nai'er Buhua bribed the lieutenant general of the Yanbei Army with the intention of cooperating with the Beiyuan army internally and externally to break through the northern border, occupy Beiping, and regain the lost territory!"

"His Majesty has issued an imperial edict, asking the Jinyi Guards to quickly send the news to the Northern Territory, inform King Yan to investigate the matter thoroughly, and prepare to deal with the danger in the Northern Territory."

The person cupped his hands, deliberately raised his voice, and spoke clearly.

"what?!"

"Is there such a thing?!"

Hearing the visitor's answer, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but his face suddenly changed again and his brows furrowed.

To him, this confession was a shocking secret, and what he was most unwilling to accept was that Zhu Yunxi personally examined the confession!

If this matter is true, even if he uncovers the traitor and will be rewarded for his merits in the future, compared with Lao San who solved the crisis in the north and uncovered the traitors in the army, his achievements are still far behind!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with jealousy.

"The words have been brought, I will take my leave."

"However, what I mentioned just now is top secret. You must not leak any information. Otherwise, if your Majesty's important affairs are ruined, the entire Jinyi Guard, including His Highness, may be implicated."

The visitor cupped his hands, bowed respectfully, and then turned around and left.

"and many more!"

But at this moment, Zhu Yunwen suddenly spoke again and stopped the man.

If he hadn't been tempted by Jiang Yu's proposal just now, he would have another idea now.

He didn't want to lose. If even Xie Linzhou's case was tried by the third child, then he would be completely defeated!

So, he changed his mind...
