Chapter 372 Doubt
Author: Fragrance is all over the world
Murong Qing licked her dry lips while she was talking to the imperial concubine. Because all the tea bowls in the room were broken, she had not had time to take a sip of water.
"Is he the second prince?" She lowered her voice and said, "The second prince wants to sit on the throne. It is not impossible to do such a thing. After all, he even dared to drug his own mother and concubine."
Pei Mo pursed his thin lips, neither agreeing nor shaking his head. His fingertips lightly tapped the table. Murong Qing knew that this was his habit when he was deep in thought.
After Murong Qing said this, he became quiet and did not disturb him.
Pei Mo thought of the secret guards he caught that night. He left three secret guards for interrogation. Now, none of the three secret guards are left. They all committed suicide, and they committed suicide at the same time.
He sighed deeply. He clearly locked these three secret guards in three closed and separated secret rooms to ensure that these secret guards had no chance to transmit information, but these three secret guards were still dead, and they were dead.
What a coincidence!
Just a little bit closer!
Pei Mo cursed in a low voice with regret. Even though the secret guard refused to speak, he still found something, but he was not sure whether it was valuable for the time being.
The secret guards all wore masks during training. They would be taught how to kill people, steal goods, and put blame on others, but no one would teach them to hide their emotions. During the interrogation, Pei Mo would stare closely into their eyes, for fear of missing something.
A small detail.
In this way, he roughly knew that the second prince had bought a slave and some other things on the black market a few days ago, but other than that, it was all worthless information.
Pei Mo thought, does the information obtained from the secret guards have something to do with the emperor's illness?
It would be great if the secret guard was still alive. Pei Mo believed that he would still be able to find out something useful.
Seeing that Pei Mo had finished thinking, Murong Qing said, "As long as the emperor dies and the court is leaderless, the ministers will definitely support the second prince in taking the throne. What's more, there are countless people in the court who have already joined the second prince's party."
She had a sad look on her face, how could a person like the second prince become emperor? Speaking of strategy, the second prince had a big head. If the Lin family had not spent a lot of money to recruit the staff, the second prince would not be as popular as he is today.
When it comes to military strategy, Murong Qing finds it even more ridiculous. What is the difference between the second prince and a eunuch now? He is already weak and cannot carry his shoulders or lift his hands. I am afraid that he has never even been to the military training ground a few times. How can he know anything?
Military strategy?
Murong Qing murmured in his heart, if a person like the second prince really became the emperor, with his cruel temper, the people of Dashun would definitely not have a good life!
Pei Mo smiled silently and rubbed the round head of the person in front of him, "In the past there were people who were worried about the world, but now there is a lady who is worried about the world's affairs. It's really hard for the lady to be so well-intentioned."
His words made Murong Qing couldn't help but laugh. She scolded, "What time has it been? The general is still joking. I'm telling you something important!"
Pei Mo retracted his hand, stood up and stretched, fully displaying his long and thin waist in front of Murong Qing.
"Don't worry, madam. This matter is hard to talk about. Madam, don't forget that there is also the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the palace. Li Fuquan has served the emperor for many years. If someone deliberately assassinated the emperor, how could Li Fuquan not know about it? But what madam said makes sense.
, how about you wait until your husband finds a chance to go to the palace and meet Li Fuquan before making any plans?"
Murong Qing nodded, "Okay, then leave it to the general."
She thinks so. Li Fuquan can be said to be the closest person to the emperor. If the emperor's body is abnormal, he will be the first to notice it. Is it possible that the second emperor's hand can still reach the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
In this way, Pei Mo calmed down Murong Qing's wild thoughts and went to find Fang Anren himself.
Pei Mo did not tell the whole story. There was not only the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the palace, but also the Imperial Army. He did not intend to start the investigation from Li Fuquan, but planned to investigate in a more direct way.
No matter how powerful Li Fuquan is, he will inevitably be careless at times. Pei Mo thought, there are so many people in the palace, who can guarantee that no one will harbor evil intentions.
After putting Murong Qing to sleep, Pei Mo invited Fang Anren to his usual teahouse.
This teahouse is run by his own people, Pei Mozai couldn't be more relieved, "An Ren is here."
"What exactly is it that Brother Pei wrote in his letter? It's so ambiguous. I'm worried to death."
Fang Anren's tone was anxious. Their generals always communicated directly with each other and said everything they said directly. The same was true for writing letters, unless they were conveying some information or secret codes.
He was puzzled, why did Brother Pei speak in such a roundabout way? His mind was filled with thoughts one after another, so he rushed to the teahouse full of questions.
Pei Mo is neither sick nor slowing down, so you can't blame him. He can't directly write that there is something fishy about the emperor's illness. If this letter falls into the hands of someone with intentions, then they will all have to play with it.
He poured a cup of tea for Fang Anren unhurriedly, "Do you think Anren knows the commander of the Forbidden Army? I'm afraid I have something to ask of you."
Fang Anren nodded blankly. He didn't know why Pei Mo suddenly mentioned the commander of the Forbidden Army. His body trembled and he asked in horror, "Did something happen to Brother Pei?"
"It's not me." Pei Mo explained, "I just suspect that there is something fishy about the emperor's illness. Although this is just a suspicion, we have to meet the commander of the imperial army to know whether this suspicion is groundless."
Hearing this, Fang Anren couldn't swallow a mouthful of tea and almost spat it out. He was shocked and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough -"
He patted his chest, as if there was a thunder in his mind. If it was really what Brother Pei said, then it would be so chilling down one's spine.
He was a military commander, and the first thing he thought of was that assassins from the enemy country had come to poison the emperor!
After a long pause, Fang Anren said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Pei, could it be that people from the enemy country have made a comeback?"
Pei Mo looked at him, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "If it's just an enemy assassin, that's fine. I'm afraid it's one of our own fighting in the nest."
History is sometimes very regrettable. Pei Mo read military books and also loved reading history books. Looking at the dynasties before Dashun, what impressed him deeply was not the dynasties that were destroyed by foreign enemies, but those that overturned due to internal strife.
He sometimes complained about the dark court in Dashun, but he also did not want to see the people displaced. After more than ten years in the army, he still vividly remembered the memories of people in exile who were starving all over the border.
Fang Anren paused, and he quickly realized the meaning of Pei Mo's words.
"Brother Pei is saying...the second prince can't wait any longer?"
When the second prince was mentioned, Fang Anren gritted his teeth. No one could disgust him more than the second prince.
He was terrified. If it was true as Brother Pei said, wouldn't the second prince want to kill his father?
This is too rebellious, Fang Anren thought, and felt that only a person like the second prince could do such a thing!
