"Is there any evidence left at the scene that can be traced?" Ni Huang asked

"I........."

General Wei just opened his mouth when Mei Changsu interrupted him and said,"Don't ask about these details yet."

"How is Commander Meng?"

General Wei replied,"Your Majesty is furious. Commander Meng was caned 20 times in the court!"

""Twenty strokes of the cane?"

Mei Changsu frowned.

Twenty strokes of the cane were not just twenty strokes of the cane.

First, they were not given by eunuchs, but by soldiers who had practiced external skills.

Second, they could not use internal skills to resist when being beaten.

Third, they could not show mercy.

If twenty strokes of the cane were given to an ordinary person, an adult man would be beaten to death in less than ten strokes.

"Yes, there is another 30 days to solve the case."

"Otherwise, there will be severe punishment."

General Wei responded

"Still so ruthless""603"

Because they were in the Yunnan Palace, Mei Changsu felt a little relaxed and cursed subconsciously.

"Lao Wei, continue to gather information and report any situation immediately."Ni Huang ordered.

"Yes!"

General Wei turned and left

"Qing Er"

"Um?"

"This news will spread quickly, and I don't want the people in the Yunnan Palace to talk about it in any place."Ni Huang instructed

"Good."

Mu Qing turned and left.

Nihuang looked at the silent Mei Changsu:"After this case came out, Commander Meng is in a precarious situation. Do I need to go to the palace to plead for him?"

Mei Changsu quickly calmed down:"There is no need to go to the palace to plead for him. What I am worried about is not Brother Meng's current situation, but the future development of the whole case."

"What will happen in the future?"

Nihuang asked

"That's right, the emperor will not doubt Brother Meng's ability to lead the imperial guards to guard the palace just because of this case." Mei Changsu nodded.

""Brother, are you worried that if Brother Meng fails to solve the case within 30 days, the charges will be aggravated?" Nihuang asked

"If the old case is not solved and a new one arises, the emperor's trust in Brother Meng will become lower and lower."

"This is what I am really worried about."

Mei Changsu sighed

"What on earth did the murderer want to do?"

Nihuang knew that this case was indeed not simple.

"The murderer's motive is hard to determine now. Perhaps he wanted to challenge the imperial power and military might, or perhaps he wanted to test the imperial guards' defenses in preparation for future actions."

"Or maybe it's just for Brother Meng."

"But no matter what their purpose is, they must have a backup plan."

"Judging from the current situation, the most likely purpose is to weaken the emperor's trust in the imperial guards."

"Once the Imperial Guards are weakened, there will be a chance to control the palace."

"hiss!"

"The person who wants to control the palace the most must be the one closest to the power center."

Mei Changsu quickly thought of the worst outcome.

"The Crown Prince and Prince Yu?"

When it came to the battle for the throne, Nihuang immediately thought of these two people.

"Yes, it's one of the two. But Prince Yu doesn't have any trusted military personnel right now. Even if he removes Brother Meng, he has no one to replace him."

"But the prince has someone on his hands."

Mei Changsu thought.

"Ningguo Hou, Xie Yu."Nihuang said the name

"That's right, Xie Yu is a first-rank military marquis. He has never been involved in party disputes and is deeply favored by the emperor."

"Once the Imperial Guards are suppressed and Brother Meng is removed from his position, no one in Jinling is more suitable to take over the position of the Imperial Guards leader than Xie Yu."

"Firstly, the other military marquises were old, while Xie Yu was in his prime and was favored by the emperor."

"Secondly, Xie Yu has made a lot of achievements in the past few years in charge of the patrol camp."

"However, Xie Yu already has 50,000 patrol battalions, and the emperor understands this, so he will certainly not easily move Brother Meng's position."

"I am afraid that this matter will be linked to the fight for the throne."

"This really violates the emperor's taboo."

"No, I have to go to Prince Yu's Mansion."

After saying that, Mei Changsu walked out quickly, taking Fei Liu, who had just picked plum blossoms, away quickly.

Meng Zhi's Mansion. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

""Slow down, slow down."

Meng Zhi couldn't help but say.

Deputy Commander Zhu and a soldier of the Imperial Guards carried Meng Zhi into the room and walked in step by step.

"Come, be careful"

"Oh, why hasn't it arrived yet?"[]

"Almost there, almost there"

"Slow down. Slow down."

"oops!"

"Come"

"Ouch, hiss!!!"

The two carefully placed Meng Zhi on the bed.

"Go get some water."

"yes!"

"Ouch, ouch!"

"The Great Leader"

"Hey, the commander-in-chief is loyal and has made great contributions to the protection of the palace over the years. Even if the imperial guards are responsible for this case, Your Majesty cannot vent all his anger on you....."Deputy Commander Zhu of the Imperial Guard complained

"Although this case did not happen within the palace walls, it was indeed not far from the palace, which should have been the responsibility of the imperial guards. Your Majesty did not blame me wrongly."

"What are you complaining about?"

Meng Zhi said helplessly while lying on the bed.

"Me, hi!"

"Fortunately, this matter has passed. I will step up security in the next few days. Commander-in-chief, you should have a good rest."

Deputy Commander Zhu was still feeling a little disappointed, but after hearing what Meng Zhi said, he felt that it was reasonable and irrefutable, and his disappointment dissipated.

If Xiao Jingli was here, he would know that if Meng Zhi had complained a few words just now, then the disappointment of Deputy Commander Zhu would have deepened a lot.

This is the human heart. This is also the reason why emperors throughout the ages have been so afraid of the commander of the army.

Because the commander of the army has left too deep an impression on the army.

And the army is a place of passion and friendship!

"Is it over?"

"It's over."

"His Majesty ordered me to solve the case within 30 days, otherwise, there will be severe punishment!"

Meng Zhi hugged the pillow pitifully, wanting to cry.

Whose unlucky child is not at home for the New Year's Day and ran outside the palace to kill people.

And he even killed the imperial guards!

The Ming Palace.

Back garden.

On the first day of the New Year, the weather was clear.

Xiao Jing3.2 Li was lying comfortably on the recliner to bask in the sun.

Behind him and in front of him, two beauties, one pressing his head and the other pressing his legs, were out of tune with the tense atmosphere of Jinling outside.

"Your Highness, Emperor Liang secretly summoned Xia Chun and Xia Dong, the mirror masters of the Xuanjing Division, into the palace and handed over the case of the murder of the imperial guards and eunuchs outside the palace walls to them."

"Besides, Prince Yu has already entered the palace, and Mei Changsu is a step behind."

The Luowang personnel came to report.

Xiao Jingli closed his eyes and asked,"Does the prince know that Xie Yu is planning to become the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards?"

The Luowang personnel was stunned, but still responded quickly,"The prince doesn't know."

Xiao Jingli opened his eyes instantly.

The prince doesn't know?

So Xie Yu did it privately?

What a courage!

"Keep a close eye on Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao."

Xiao Jingli ordered

"yes!".
