Chapter 365 Where is the young general?
In Lindu City, there were frequent incidents tonight.
In the Xuanwu army, Song Jie, Wu Ding, Chu Mo, Chen Yong and others dare not relax at all tonight.
At the beginning, the Great Jin thought that if the chaos they created was enough to make all the officials and troops in Lindu City panic, they would take advantage of the chaos to break out of the city.
Among them, there are also some with extraordinary skills.
Of course, that’s plan two.
One of the plans was for Tuoman and his servant to escape.
However, as soon as the chaos broke out on their side, the Xuanwu Army noticed it and, together with the people from the Ministry of Justice, conducted a carpet search on them as quickly as possible.
At the foot of the capital city.
Minister Wen of the Ministry of Justice looked at the rows of grain carts. After a busy night, he finally had time to ask the Xuanwu Army:
“Where were these grain carts found?”
"Your Excellency," Song Jie replied:
"It was found in a private house. Those people from the Great Jin killed the owner of the house and took over the house."
Wen Liang was frightened and his face turned unusually pale.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Su Chuan, who was standing beside him, had been busy all night and had not slept a wink. At this moment, he was staring towards the direction of the city gate.
"Why hasn't the young general come back yet? I wonder if she has captured the person."
When Wen Liang heard this, he became extremely anxious.
If the people from the Great Jin Dynasty cannot be brought back, not to mention Jiang Yue and Chen Yuan, he, as the head of the Ministry of Justice, will inevitably be held responsible.
The entire Dajin incident involves more than one person.
As for Chen Yuan, since his failure in defending the city yesterday, he has begun to strictly check the city gates.
Because of his strict control, no one ever tried to be as bold as Tuoman and escape from the city.
They couldn't escape from the city, but they couldn't avoid death either.
At this moment, most of them have been caught.
The moment the Xuanwu Army and the Ministry of Justice officials caught the man, they sent him to the Ministry of Justice prison.
Long before this, Minister Wen of the Ministry of Justice had already reported the matter to His Majesty overnight.
Because of the civil unrest in the country, Minister Wen and Vice Minister Su were waiting anxiously at the city gate. They waited for a whole night but did not see Jiang Yue.
The two were extremely anxious, and Jiang Yue did not show up in the court until the next day.
In the court, after the morning court session, all the civil and military officials followed His Majesty into the palace, knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"
Zhao Chongxiu thought about what happened last night, and his face became gloomy.
He couldn't sleep after receiving Wen Liang's message last night.
At the morning court today, I was eager to know the result.
"Everyone is safe!"
His eyes fell on every courtier in the court. After a quick glance, he lifted his robe and sat firmly on the dragon throne.
Just listen to his question,
"Where is the young general?"
After he finished speaking, most of the court officials looked at the position behind Chen Yuan. Not seeing him, they all began to think secretly.
Mu Yun looked around and didn't see Jiang Yue, so he bowed and said to His Majesty:
"Your Majesty, General Jiang's failure to attend court without reason is a sign of disrespect for your majesty's authority. This shows that he is disloyal!"
Jiang Yue actually dared to skip the court? Isn't this just a groundless topic of gossip?
"That's not the case!" Chen Yuanben knelt on one knee and said boldly:
"The young general went to chase the Jin Dynasty's spies last night and has not returned yet. If she were here, she would definitely not be absent for no reason!"
At this moment, Chen Yuan was no longer idle as usual.
That’s right, although he attended court every day, the news he reported every day was always about how the emperor should not worry and there was no need to worry about the city gates.
It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Zhao Chongxiu's cold eyes instantly fell on him.
Going after the spies?
So, a spy escaped from the city?
Zhao Chongxiu slammed the dragon chair heavily and stood up suddenly.
All the court officials knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
At this moment, His Highness suddenly became nervous, and even His Highness's Second Prince and Third Prince became nervous, all of them were guessing what His Majesty was thinking.
Mu Yun thought to himself, Jiang Yue is a young and fearless person. Doesn’t she know that these matters are under the jurisdiction of Wen Liang from the Ministry of Justice and the garrison commander Chen Yuan?
As a young general who had just returned from the border, even if she wanted to show herself, she should consider her own strength.
If she was smart, she should have let General Chen go.
Even if Chen Yuan had the duty to defend the city, it should be Chen Yuan who sent his soldiers there. Why should Jiang Yue be so prominent?
Why chase after spies? Mu Yun's eyes were filled with sarcasm.
It seems that General Jiang’s ability to do things is not that good!
We have been chasing him all night, but we haven't brought the person back yet.
He felt that Jiang Yue was really stupid and had no brains at all.
Taiwei Zeng Guangren looked nervous.
Some of the other court officials, including him, felt that Your Majesty was making a fuss over nothing. He was just a spy from the Great Jin. He could just run away. As a great country, how could they be afraid of the small Great Jin?
Some were gloating, while others were thinking about Jiang Yue's news.
Chen Yuan and Wen Liang were on pins and needles.
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxiu said angrily:
"Chen Yuan, you are not good at defending the city, and you still have the nerve to kneel here!"
"It's my fault, Your Majesty, please punish me!" Zhao Chongxiu said harshly, and Chen Yuan knelt on the ground, knocking his head hard, bleeding.
"But your majesty, the young general really didn't leave court without a reason!"
At this moment, Chen Yuan felt like a criminal about to be beheaded on the execution ground. He might be executed by His Majesty at any time.
Zhao Chongxiu's knuckles were cracking, and his heart was in turmoil.
In these years, he has been dealing with Northern Yan and has never taken Dajin seriously, but he was just secretly vigilant.
Wen Liang wondered to himself, could it be that Jiang Yue encountered some difficulties outside?
Could it be that he encountered people from the Great Jin Dynasty and was retaliated against?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw His Majesty's sharp gaze fall on him.
"Wen Liang, what's going on in the city?"
When Wen Liang heard His Majesty calling his name, sweat had already appeared in his palms.
Although he was the head of the Ministry of Justice, he was always very powerful and acted in a pretentious manner in front of the people.
However, due to the recent invasions from two foreign enemies, he has been in a state of constant tension. He is often frightened by His Majesty and breaks into cold sweats, fearing that his official hat will be lost at any time.
He knelt down and clasped his hands:
"Your Majesty, last night, those Jin people who were trying to confuse the public were all imprisoned by my officials with the help of the Xuanwu Army."
"Did the young general really go after the Jin spies?" Zhao Chongxiu asked this question, and Wen Liang kowtowed to the ground again.
"The young general really went after that Jin spy last night!"
