Chapter 486 The genius who spied on the news

The two quarreled fiercely. Although the other elders did not say it clearly, their expressions showed that they supported Gongta.

Even if it was just a chance, they were unwilling to take the risk.

"Enough! What are you quarreling about!" King Nanlong pinched his eyebrows impatiently: "Is it safe to let them go? There were only two of them. They were all in the hall that day. Who lit the gunpowder?"

The hall was suddenly silent.

King Nanlong's voice was a little sinister: "If we really let them go, there will be endless troubles!"

In the silence, a faint voice suddenly sounded. It was Ames.

"Yesterday Kit told me that the Tianqi Xiu Niang who is now in Nanlong seems to be the mother of the weather envoy."

! ! !

As if a stone stirs up a thousand waves, the expressions of the people in the hall changed. King Nanlong stood up excitedly and shouted: "Quick, go and catch that Xiu Niang!"

Only then did King Nanlong suddenly remember that Kit used this incident to threaten Jiang Zhiyu last night.

...

But they were still late, and when they arrived, the house was already empty.

The people who had been waiting in the hall couldn't help but show disappointment. King Nanlong angrily cursed at the waste.

Things returned to the starting point again.

The elder coughed lightly: "Maybe we can ask the high priest to calculate it."

Although it may not be possible to calculate the exact location, at least there will be a direction.

Things have come to this point. Even if King Nanlong hates the high priest, he has to admit that this is the only way.

He was about to call for help, but the elder spoke first: "I'll go."

Recalling the high priest's repeated refusal, the King of Nanlong did not insist, but nodded slightly in agreement.

Ames spoke again: "I remember that Prince Casas was very close to those two people. Your Majesty, why don't you ask Prince Casas to see if he has any clues."

...

The rain in Nanlong has changed from heavy rain at the beginning to drizzling rain now.

The sun, which has not appeared for a long time, also has some light leaking out.

Casas dismissed the others and entered the door. The first sentence he said after closing the door was: "My father asked me to find out the news. Where are the rest of your gunpowder buried?"

Jiang Wenjing: "..."

Jiang Zhiyu: "..."

[This is really a genius in finding out information. ]

Jiang Wenjing nodded in deep approval.

"I know you don't understand why I'm asking this. Anyway, just tell me a few places and let me get the job done."

Casas sat down next to them: "Or just one will do."

"No, just those two."

Jiang Zhiyu blinked: "If you want to get the job done, then I'll give you some gunpowder. You pretend and tell them a random place. How about that?"

Casas's somewhat disappointed face suddenly raised: "Okay!"

Jiang Wenjing: "..."

Can it be like this? !

"Don't you worry about Nanjun at all?"

Jiang Wenjing couldn't help but say.

The smile on Casas' face slowly solidified, and under his bright eyes, there was a tyranny that had been suppressed for a long time. Under the cover of the smile, a few cold stars still floated out.

Jiang Wenjing's heart trembled.

The emotional outburst only lasted for a moment, and Casas quickly adjusted his state. When he looked up again, the trace of brutality had disappeared.

"Of course I'm worried, otherwise why would I come? Well, no more words, I'm going to report."

He turned and left, but his steps were hurried, and he looked like he was running away.

[Second brother will step on a landmine. ]

Jiang Wenjing: "???"

What do you mean?

Step on a landmine? There was no thunder.

...

The gunpowder that Casas brought back made the Nangong people even more uneasy. For several days, they searched more carefully. More

and more people were stationed in Xu Youran's courtyard.

At the same time, at Xiao Yanli's house.

Ji Tong and his "lost and found" brother were almost in touch.

Xiao Yanli also heard a lot of news he wanted to hear from Ji Tong.

Ji Tong had been lurking beside Jiang Wenjing for so many years, and it was not in vain.

He told Xiao Yanli the location of the letters he had forged before, which showed Jiang Wenjing's secret communication with the people of Mobei.

Xiao Yanli immediately sent people to search the mansion.

But only a few recent letters were found.

For Xiao Yanli, these few letters were enough to prove that Jiang Wenjing was colluding with the enemy and treason, but for Ji Tong, it was different.

He looked at those thin letters and couldn't help frowning.

It seemed that he had forged them during this period of time when Jiang Wenjing was not around.

What about the previous ones? He kept them in the same place.

His heartbeat unconsciously quickened a little, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

With evidence and witnesses, Xiao Yanli couldn't wait to go to court tomorrow.

...

In the morning court, all officials entered the palace to kowtow, and Xiao Yanli in the queue obviously attracted a lot of attention.

After all, he is still under house arrest, and logically, he should not go to court.

But he still came, and looked at the emperor arrogantly.

Everyone couldn't help but sweat on their backs.

The emperor's eyes passed through the court and fell on Xiao Yanli: "I remember, you are still under house arrest, right?"

Xiao Yanli walked out of the queue and knelt in the center of the hall: "Yes, your son is indeed under house arrest, but I am going to court today because your son has discovered an important thing, and I must tell my father as soon as possible to prevent treacherous ministers from taking power and thieves from ruining the country!"

The accusation was very serious.

The emperor and Jiang Kang'an looked at each other obscurely, thinking that it was coming.

He hummed lightly: "Tell me about it."

Xiao Yanli fell to the ground and said loudly: "The one I am accusing is General Jiang Wenjingjiang, who is now on a diplomatic mission to Nangong. He colluded with the enemy and committed treason when he was guarding Mobei, causing our army to suffer repeated defeats and thousands of Tianqi soldiers to lose their lives to the enemy!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

The emperor looked gloomy and looked at Xu Yanli and Jiang Kang'an.

The two men stepped out at the same time: "Your Majesty, Wen Jing would never do such a thing! His achievements in Mobei are witnessed by all. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Wen Jing would never destroy the lives of my Tianqi soldiers for no reason!"

"Victory and defeat are common in the military?" Xiao Yanli stood up: "Grand Tutor Xu is worthy of being the Grand Tutor. He can refute it cleanly with just one sentence. But father, I have evidence. Please bring Ji Tong outside the hall."

The emperor glanced to the side: "Okay."

Fuping shouted: "Call Ji Tong into the hall."

Ji Tong walked to the center of the hall and knelt down beside Xiao Yanli: "Your humble servant pays his respects to Your Majesty."

"No need for formalities. Do you have evidence of Jiang Wenjing's treason?"

Ji Tong raised the letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, everything we can find is here."

Fuping took it from him and put it in front of the emperor.

The emperor looked at it and asked, "Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, I have been following General Jiang, but I am just an unknown person."

"Nobody? Then how do you know all this?"
