Wen Yuan stepped on Qinggong and quickly reached the place where the man was standing just now.
But there was no one here, but Wen Yuan only took a while to catch up with the man.
She restrained the man with one hand, and then she saw his face clearly, "Crossing the mountain peak? Why is it you?"
The man in front of him had cooperated with Wen Yuan several times, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who harmed his father. "Long time no see, Princess Xianyang, how is everything?"
"Do you need to worry about it?" Wen Yuan didn't have a good attitude towards him.
"Don't be like this, Princess Xianyang, we are partners after all, aren't we?"
Wen Yuan didn't have the time to make jokes with him. She pointed a wooden stick at the man's neck and said, "Tell me, who asked you to do this."
"do what?"
At this time, she was still pretending. Wen Yuan felt that this man was really tired of living. She used a little strength and the wooden stick in her hand was pierced into the man's flesh. "What do you think?"
The feeling of the wooden thorns digging into the flesh made the man very uncomfortable. He raised his hands to show that he knew he was wrong, "Auntie, I was wrong. Please be noble and let me go. I just obey orders and don't interfere with my business." Ah, I don’t want to offend the old prince, let alone stop him from going on an expedition, but the lives of more than a dozen members of my family are in their hands, so I dare not disobey him.”
"Then who ordered you to do this?" Wen Yuan saw that he was relenting and relaxed a little.
"It's the father-in-law from the palace. I don't know what he looks like, but his throat sounds like he has been injured, and there is a scar on the tiger's mouth on his right hand."
Wen Yuan handed the man over to his men, "Watch him and don't let him run away."
As for the palace, it was necessary for him to go back again.
My father is away at war, so as a daughter, I have to help him get rid of the pests in the house, right?
The old emperor didn't expect Wen Yuan to come back again, "Why are you back again? Aren't you looking for your father?"
"Found it." Seeing Wen Yuan's unkind expression, the surrounding palace people took a step back.
"Then why are you coming back if you don't accompany your father?"
Wen Yuan looked at the old emperor and thought that he really didn't know about this.
Moreover, he was the one in the entire Dragon Kingdom who most expected his father to win a complete victory, so it must not have been the eunuch he ordered to ambush his father.
She walked around the palace, and no one dared to say a word during this period, until Wen Yuan stopped in front of a young eunuch and stared at his hand, "How long have you been working in the palace?"
"Back to the princess, only two years."
"It only took two years to serve the emperor, which shows that you are very capable. Tell me, among the eunuchs in this palace, which one has an injury on his hand?"
The little eunuch thought for a long time, "None of the eunuchs I have come into contact with has injuries on their hands. Could the princess have remembered it wrong?"
There are thousands of eunuchs in this palace, and it is impossible for this young eunuch to have met every one of them. Wen Yuan also knew that he was embarrassing him with this question, so he asked him to retreat.
"What's going on? Why do you want to inquire about the palace people?"
The emperor could not understand Wen Yuan's behavior more and more, but he believed that Wen Yuan must have his own reasons.
Until Wen Yuan told him what happened today, "Your Majesty, does he know that just a few days ago, my father's team was ambushed in the Jiming Road area. The rocks on the mountain rolled down, crushing many soldiers to death."
"What?" The emperor couldn't believe it. "The Cockcrow Road is indeed the only way to go to Chengcheng... But it hasn't rained a lot over there in the past two months. How could there be rocks rolling down?"
"I caught someone related to this matter. He said that the father-in-law in the palace threatened him to do it, so that's why I came to the palace to investigate, because I suspected that there was a ghost in the palace who was colluding with foreigners. Trying to take away your kingdom."
When the emperor heard that he was going to seize his kingdom, he immediately lost his composure and said, "Go and find all the eunuchs in the palace for me!"
Soon, the eunuchs from every corner of the palace were gathered together. They were discussing privately what happened. If someone who knew the inside story told the story, all the eunuchs would be in danger. They were all checking their hands for scars.
After all, this is no joke, it is a serious matter of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
The imperial guards inspected the hands of these eunuchs one by one. Because there were so many people, it took a lot of time. However, the emperor had plenty of time and was only waiting for one result.
But in the end, no one had a matching scar on their hand. Even if there was a scar on their hand, it was in another location than on the left hand.
The emperor's most trusted imperial guard stepped forward and explained the situation, "Reporting to your Majesty, no one has matching scars on their hands."
The man's voice caught Wen Yuan's attention, "What's wrong with your voice? It sounds weird."
"Reporting to the princess, I hurt myself from eating something a few days ago, so my throat is like this. It should be fine in a few days."
To Wen Yuan, his voice sounded a bit like that of an old man on duty in the palace. Wen Yuan was a little suspicious, but didn't say anything.
When the man was about to retreat, Wen Yuan saw the scar on his right hand when he cupped his fists.
Ha... So that's what happened, he actually disguised himself as the father-in-law in the palace.
But Wen Yuan didn't say it immediately. In order not to alert the enemy, she took the initiative to say to the emperor: "Maybe he noticed the changes in the palace and ran away. But fortunately, my father is fine. He has already rushed to the border town. That thief The plan has come to nothing."
This was said deliberately to the man next to him.
On that day, Wen Yuan sent Falcon to follow the guard, "Be careful. He must have been strictly trained. Don't take it lightly."
The result was just as Wen Yuan expected. After learning that King Dingnan was not dead, the man took the initiative to find Guo Shanfeng, "What's going on? Isn't it guaranteed to be foolproof?"
He was still wearing the clothes that the old men in the palace would wear. He wore a black cloak and a hat that covered most of his face.
"King Dingnan has a great destiny, but he lost his army and general."
As soon as Guo Shanfeng finished speaking, the man choked him, "You told Wen Yuan the secret between us, and even betrayed me."
He pressed harder and harder on his hands, struggling desperately across the mountain, but to no avail, "But you were not found by Wen Yuan, right? It means you have a hand. As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to continue to help you deal with Dingnan." King, I know which direction he went."
After this ambush, King Dingnan had already changed his direction. Without this man, he might not have been able to find him. "Okay, I will give you this chance. If you miss again, you and your My family’s lives are at risk.”
The man finally got a chance to breathe, but before he could say a word, the other party had already disappeared without a trace, "Grandma, if I hadn't been short of money, I would have helped you do these unconscionable things?! Bah!"
Before he could recover, he was captured by the owl.
When we arrived at the place, we crossed the mountain and recognized the owl. He cried helplessly: "Why am I so miserable? I was almost strangled to death just now, and now I am brought to this place where birds don't poop."
Owl thought he was too noisy and stuffed a piece of rag into the man's mouth.
The man then changed from crying to umming and umming in a funny way.
At dawn the next day, Wen Yuan found the imperial guard from yesterday and asked, "Princess Xianyang, is there any important matter for finding me so early in the morning?"
"Of course there are. You seem to have scars on your hands too, right?"
When the man heard this, his heart tightened and he clenched his hands into fists, "Is Princess Xianyang doubting me?"
"No, I don't doubt you."
Wen Yuan's words made the other party breathe a sigh of relief, but soon two strong men appeared from behind the man and grabbed him. Wen Yuan also took the opportunity to add: "I don't doubt you, because you are the mole. It was you who betrayed the news of King Dingnan’s expedition to foreigners.”
"Princess Xianyang, you need evidence to arrest someone!"
"I have proof, so you don't have to fight anymore."
The man wondered what evidence she could have, and soon he was brought to the emperor.
The emperor didn't want to believe it when he saw the man's face, "How is this possible? He is one of the most loyal ministers around me."
"Oh, really? Then it seems that your Majesty, you have to check the people around you." Wen Yuan kicked the man to the ground and said, "He has that scar on his hand."
The man was still quibbling, "Your Majesty! It's normal for people who practice martial arts to have scars on their bodies! Is it possible that ministers have to have thin skin and tender flesh? Besides, Princess Xianyang said personally that the man was a eunuch , I am your imperial guard!"
"Wen Yuan, are you mistaken?" The emperor obviously believed more in the man kneeling on the ground.
Wen Yuan's aura was overwhelming, "Do you think I would make fun of my father's life?"
Yes, Wen Yuan cares most about her family. She will not joke with King Dingnan's life. This means that the man in front of her is really the mole in the palace?
The emperor thought for a long time, and finally chose to believe Wen Yuan after the kick, "Have you collected any evidence about him?"
"Of course." Wen Yuan clapped his hands, and soon the owl dragged a man into the hall.
The man was caught crossing the mountain by him, "See the emperor, see the emperor!"
"This person is..."
"He works for this man. His name is Shanfeng. He is very familiar with the Cockcrow Road area. This is why the man looks for him instead of anyone else."
The emperor walked up to the man, his condescending gaze made Guo Shanfeng feel fearful, "Tell me, tell me honestly."
Guo Shan did not dare to disobey, so he could only tell all the things the man told him.
"That's all I know...I really don't know anything else..."
