【Seventy】Deng Ling's choice
Deng Ling stared at the kneeling man in the hall, his face getting darker and darker, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out. He endured it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it. He threw the file in his hand hard in front of Wen Zhu, shouting sternly: "This is what you and I said, have already found out?!! Take a good look! What is this?!"
Wen Zhu was frightened by the silk book that suddenly flew in front of him. She subconsciously took several steps back, her shoulders kept trembling, picked up the file in front of her, opened it with her hands trembling, and read the contents. At this moment, she couldn't help but be stunned.
The book contains the case where Deng Ling was poisoned in Lanxin Tower many years ago. The book is written in extremely detailed, even a hundred times more detailed than the Tingwei Mansion back then. All the clues are almost strongly directed. A discerning person can vaguely guess who the real murderer behind the scenes of this case is.
Wen Zhuxin read the silk book in fear, and cold sweat beads oozing from his forehead. He closed the file, looked at Deng Ling in horror, and asked: "Lord... Where did the lord get this file? In the Lanxinlou case, his subordinates investigated for one year and three months, but could not find any suspicious traces... In the end, the old Grand Marshal urged the Tingwei Mansion to close the case... Until now, except for a tea customer who was arrested and sentenced to death, his subordinates could not find any news. But the clues pointed out to... were actually the General of the Protector?"
Deng Ling stared at him coldly, his voice pressing extremely low: "Now...is it when you review the Lan Xinlou case?"
Wen Zhu looked at him, and saw that his eyes were full of anger, so he immediately kowtowed twice and said, "I am incompetent and failed to find out the truth about the poisoning case that year... I have caused my lord to suffer so much..."
Deng Ling furiously said, "Wen Zhu! Is it time for you to regret yourself now? Do you know where I discovered this file? It was on the ridge where Mu's escaped!! This was deliberately sent to me by Jiang Nu! What I want to ask you... Don't you understand yet?!"
Wen Zhu was stunned in panic. Seeing the angry husband, he quickly turned his eyes and whispered: "The lord's intention is... There are still other houses under Jiang Chengyi's name in the suburbs of Beijing? Otherwise, the girl Jiang... wouldn't have been able to get this silk book and send it to Pingcun."
Jiang Chengjia and Mu Yun left the capital with Lingyi team, and did not expect Deng Ling's sudden attack. Otherwise, there would have been a long time ago, and it would be impossible for all the members of Lingyi team to be arrested. It is precisely because of this that they would not carry the files of the Lan Xinlou case with them. Now, the detailed investigation of this case was sent to Pingcun and sent to him, which shows that there must be a dark room in the suburbs of the capital that contained files of the court, the ministers and even the world that the Jiang Mansion investigated.
Deng Ling immediately reacted as soon as he got the file. While amazed Jiang Chengyi's meticulous behavior, he was also angry and resentful of Wen Zhu's carelessness. He picked up the pottery on the coffee table next to him and threw it at Wen Zhu again: "Waste?! How did you promise me?? He kept telling me that you have all the rest of the suburbs of Beijing, but now there is such a big mistake!"
"Don't be angry, my subordinates are not doing well... I'd like to punish you!" Wen Zhu's face was ashamed. Knowing that she could not escape the treatment, she simply accepted her fate and took the initiative to ask for punishment.
Even though Deng Ling was angry, he knew that this was not all Wen Zhu's fault. If you want to blame him, Jiang Chengyi would have to blame him for being too cunning and actually put a private property under his nose, which was hidden in a slight way.
He was annoyed for a moment, relaxed, lowered his anger, leaned against the wooden wheel and said boredly: "Forget it. This is not the time to punish you. After this matter is settled, I will not spare you. Go... bring in the person waiting outside to report the matter of Changqi Mountain Villa!"
Deng Ling bypassed Wen Zhu like this, which surprised him and took off his breath. However, behind him, Changgu, who was seriously injured and lying on a stretcher, was angry and unbalanced. Wen Zhu was obviously dereliction of duty as him, but Deng Ling only dealt with him... What is the reason?
The seeds of resentment sprouted in Changgu's heart. He raised his neck slightly and looked at the two men who were kneeling and standing, with his eyes full of viciousness and disgust.
The soldiers who chased Mu Yun to Changqi Mountain Villa were waiting anxiously outside the house. Seeing the delay in calling in the house, they were in a hurry.
Finally, the closed door of the bamboo house was pushed open. Wen Zhu walked out of the inside, walked to them, and said deeply: "Lord, call you in."
The soldiers were immediately overjoyed and rushed into the bamboo house.
The bamboo door was wide open, and Changgu was lying on a stretcher with blood and was lifted out of the house. The soldiers who were rushing forward saw this scene and couldn't help but pause involuntarily and panic in their hearts.
When Changgu was carried to Wen Zhu, he was already in a semi-coma. He held his two guards looking at Wen Zhu like help, and stood in front of the door at a loss.
Wen Zhu frowned fiercely and said, "What are you doing? Take him down for treatment? The lord only said to punish him, but did not say to take his life. If he cannot be cured, I will only ask you!"
The two guards nodded quickly, not daring to delay any further, and carried the Changgu down the mountain.
There was a bunch of soldiers blocking in front of the bamboo gate, and before entering the threshold was stepped into the threshold. Wen Zhu glanced at them and scolded, "What are you looking at? Do you also want your lord to reward you with a military stick?"
The soldiers changed their expression when they heard this, and no longer hesitated. They quickly stepped into the door and walked towards the house.
Deng Ling leaned against the wooden wheel, his mind was full of chaos and dizziness. After waiting for a while, he saw the soldiers coming to him in two steps and three steps.
His eyes were deep and he looked at them silently, not speaking.
Among these soldiers, the man who was slightly independent and occupied the leader came out from behind the crowd tremblingly and said to Deng Ling humbly: "Lord... I have something important to report."
"I haven't caught the escaped Nv Mu... I've left Pingcun for so long. What else do you have to report?" Deng Ling snorted coldly and mocked.
The leader immediately knelt down, supported the ground with both hands, lowered his head, and sweated all over: "The subordinates and others are incompetent and have not captured the girl Mu..."
Seeing this, the soldiers behind him knelt down in panic and lowered their heads to admit their mistakes. Deng Ling sneered: "Just knowing that he is incompetent."
The leader was frightened. At this moment, he didn't want to speak out again and anger Deng Ling. However, thinking about the situation in Changqi Mountain Villa, he was worried again. So he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said with a heart of heart: "Don't be angry... I do have important things to report. When I was chasing the girl Mu, I accidentally entered Changqi Mountain Villa and discovered a strange thing... There were only a hundred people in Changqi Mountain Villa.
However......Now there is a team of strong men with a population of between 100 and 200 patrolling the ridges of the fields. Although they are wearing casual clothes, they are well-trained... They don't look like ordinary civilians at all, like an army with hidden identity. The subordinates wait for their men to go deeper and check in. They found that the Protector General was also in the villa. The back mountain was chopped out of a schoolyard by these strong men... There were tens of thousands of people training here."
Deng Ling's hand trembled suddenly, staring at the speaker gloomyly and said, "Dare you sure what you say is true?"
The leader immediately bowed and kowtowed, "I dare not make any deception. These are what my subordinates and even dozens of soldiers behind me see together... If the lord doesn't believe it, you can ask everyone behind me and see if it's true?"
Deng Ling looked behind him and saw the soldiers all raised their heads, looked at him, nodded solemnly, and said in unison: "My subordinates can prove that their words are not false."
Deng Ling clenched his fists and his eyes became colder. He did not expect that Deng Qing was so reckless that he took Changming's army into the capital without authorization to hide it. If such a big thing was discovered by the ministers in the court, then Deng would be the serious crime of privately leading troops into the capital and intending to rebel.
This bastard boy!
Deng Ling's anger that had just calmed down in his heart ignited again. He closed his eyes and slowly spit out a few words: "Wen Zhu, come in."
Wen Zhu, who was guarding outside the house and hearing all this, was also uneasy at this moment. If he had not read the Lanxinlou file just now, he would probably not know why Deng Qing hid Changming Jun in the suburbs of Beijing. Now, he had a bold and terrifying guess in his heart.
After hearing Deng Ling call him, Wen Zhu immediately entered the house, came to the soldiers, bowed his fists and said, "I'm here."
Deng Ling winked at him and glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground. Wen Zhu immediately understood what he meant and turned his head to say to everyone who was worshiping, "You have not been tired of eating or drinking today. Now it's late at night, let's go down to rest."
The soldiers were a little surprised and raised their heads and looked at Wen Zhu, hesitating.
Wen Zhu immediately said, "What? Do you want your lord to deal with you before you can go down and rest?"
As soon as they said this, everyone did not dare to stay. They rolled and crawled up from the ground and rushed out of the bamboo house. After a while, the room was silent, leaving only Deng Ling and Wen Zhu.
Wen Zhu walked to Deng Ling, took the cloak hanging beside him, covered him with it, gently pushed the wooden wheel towards the compartment in the house, and asked as he walked, "What do you want to instruct your subordinates?"
Deng Ling asked: "A Qing brought Changmingjun into the capital...what do you think it's for?"
Wen Zhu's hand holding Mu Lun shook, not daring to make a sound.
Deng Ling sighed, closed his eyes and leaned back, and said lazily: "I will not blame what you said."
