I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 590 Meet Anguo Gong
"Song Jiangxue, it's just in time for you to come, help me fix my sideburns here."

Seeing Song Mu coming, Li Dong quickly took the scissors and said to Song Mu.

Song Mu was also very surprised when he saw this situation.

"Your Highness...how are you doing?"

Li Dong sighed when he heard this, waved away the two eunuchs, and then spoke to Song Mu helplessly.

"It's all done by Concubine Wen Gui."

"Last night, the Queen Mother made sweet-scented osmanthus soup. I invited my father and a few concubines to go. However, my father seems to be a little anxious these days, and has conflicts with Concubine Wen Gui."

"When Concubine Wen Gui was leaving behind, her body went limp and knocked down several candlesticks. I was in a hurry to pull the Queen Mother out, but the flames scorched my temples."

"After all, I have to be well-dressed, and I am in a hurry."

Song Mu was speechless when he heard these words, such things happened in the palace last night, but now Song Mu was a little curious about the situation of Concubine Wen Gui.

One thing Song Mu knew about this noble concubine was that she was the daughter of Duke Jing, and she was a cousin with the current Duke of Anguo.

On weekdays, I heard that he and His Majesty were in harmony, and there was such a conflict, Song Mu unconsciously thought about it.

But at the moment Song Mu just helped Li Dong tidy up his clothes, and then went to do his own thing. After the lecture in the East Palace, he chatted with Li Dong about some spiritual matters, and then he also went to Dali Temple.

While Song Mu was busy, there was a wave of waves gradually rising in Chang'an, news about the traitors in Chang'an continued to ferment, and now there was a tabloid to explore the root cause.

When the people saw this, they were filled with righteous indignation, and there was still that person who came to Dali Temple to ask Song Mu to tell the name of that person, and they wanted to arrest him and kill him at Caishikou.

Such remarks are naturally helpless to Song Mu's ears. Although the crowd is outraged, Song Mu is not the kind of person who does things indiscriminately.

All this needs to be well-founded, and the thief will succeed if he does it indiscriminately.

However, these rumors gradually made Song Mu realize that something was wrong with the situation. If the matter could not be resolved as soon as possible, he did not know what troubles would arise.

This day, Song Mu had already looked through the file in his hand, and he knew the things on it, but Song Mu frowned a little.

When Song Mu searched for the connection points of these key cases, he found that the instigators were all dead, and the files of many cases had to be collected from other provinces and counties.

Only the case of fire that happened to me was right in front of my eyes.

In the dossier of the fire case, Song Mu locked Ma Yue, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment at that time.

When this person set himself on fire in front of him, Song Mu still remembers those scenes deeply, so when he checked the file, he took him as an important target.

But looking through the files on the fire case, Song Mu only found some simple content.

What is said in it is just that he has formed associations in the past, and his mind is distorted to cooperate with the barbarians to cause chaos.As for when such contact was made, and how he made contact with those barbarians before, it was actually ambiguous.

This file was submitted by the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple just kept it, and did not study it deeply.

Song Mu felt that it was very wrong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but a Jinshi, just waited to be burned to death in Chang'an, so he should be thoroughly investigated.

The result is that it can't wait.

Song Mu's eyes flickered, and he immediately got up, called a few officials from Dali Temple, and headed towards the Ministry of Punishment together.

After all, the other party is the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and many things in the past are also recorded in it. Moreover, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice jointly investigated the fire case, there was also a file there, and there may be some different clues.

It's just that ten years have passed, but I don't know if the caring person has done anything to all this.

Song Mu hurried to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and when he stepped forward, there were officials from inside.

Song Mu revealed his identity and asked to collect the files, but the official was taken aback, and immediately handed over his hand and said that he would report to it.

After waiting for a while, the official came over in a hurry and said.

"My lord's files are complicated, and we will send someone to look for them."

"It's okay, I'll wait here."

Song Mu said calmly, his face was calm at the moment, but he turned his eyes to look at the other party, and spoke immediately.

"How long have you been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

The officer paused.

"Ten years."

"Oh? Then do you know that Ma Shilang is the adult who was involved in the fire incident?"

The official servant suddenly raised his head when he heard it, then quickly waved his hands and said with a far-fetched smile.

"I don't know about this matter, my lord, you have to ask others about it."

Saying this, Song Mu looked around, but the people around him bowed their heads one after another, and hurriedly walked away.

This made Song Mu a little puzzled, and was about to ask again, but another official came forward and bowed to Song Mu.

"Master Song, the Prime Minister is here to invite you."

"Tan Xiang? Here?"

When Song Mu heard this, his eyes immediately paused.

Tan Xiang is here in the Ministry of Punishment today?

It was a coincidence, Song Mu didn't think too much, so he straightened his clothes immediately, and followed the official to the Ministry of Punishment.

In the backyard of the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Song Mu met Tan Xiang here.

However, there were other officials beside him, and among them, Song Mu saw a figure, and he was a little frustrated when he glanced over it.

That person is An Guogong.

At this moment, the other party was wearing a plain gown and was sitting in it drinking tea. When he saw Song Mu coming, he immediately got up with everyone.

"Song Mu has met Prime Minister Tan and Duke An, my lords."

Song Mu clasped his hands in salute, and Prime Minister Tan also looked slightly relaxed, nodding and waving for Song Mu to sit down, and said calmly.

"I heard that Mr. Song came here to investigate the case today, so that's good. The few of us are also discussing the case that Mr. Song is investigating."

"I don't know how it's going now?"

Song Mu cupped his hands and looked up at the other party, and said calmly.

"I still don't have a clue about the humble job. I came to the Ministry of Punishment today to find a few more files."

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, but they didn't seem to care about it. Tan Xiang asked Song Mu who came to look for the files, and Song Mu also spoke bluntly.

When everyone heard that they were here to find Ma Yue's file, they seemed to have a bit of unnaturalness on their faces at the moment.

This made Song Mu even more surprised, and asked directly at the crowd.

"My lords, I saw that you all looked different when you heard the news. I don't know what's going on, but what's the secret?"

Everyone paused when they heard this, and looked at Tan Xiang, but Tan Xiang spoke calmly.

"It's not an unspeakable secret, it's just that Ma Yue's life experience and actions are really sighing."

Song Mu looked puzzled, and Tan Xiang continued.

"This Ma Yue was born in a family of soldiers and horses. His ancestor was a lieutenant colonel. Several generations fought on the battlefield. His grandfather, father, and three older brothers all died in battle."

"Your Majesty takes pity on his family, but his blood is weak, so he treats him preferentially. He is also quite capable. Back then, His Majesty and I recommended the servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

As Tan Xiang said so, he also sighed slightly at this moment, and then looked at Song Mu.

"As for that matter, I also feel that something is quite wrong. When the other party died, all the words in the world fell on you, but we all know that he is a human being. He is in harmony with his colleagues and has a harmonious family."

"Such a matter is really ruining the family."

Hearing these words, the expression on Song Mu's face suddenly became solemn.

I was negligent about this, and never deeply explored it, but I heard what Tan Xiang said, because of my own affairs, Ma Yue was notorious.

This kind of person, who was originally the backbone of the human race, ended up with such a result. Everyone in the Ministry of Punishment inevitably complained about themselves.

"What Tan Xiang said is true, but I don't think Mr. Song should be dull. He did this, and it was his choice."

At this time, another person's voice sounded beside him.

It was that An Guogong, the other party said so, looking at Song Mu at this moment.

"Master Song, did you notice something strange in it?"

Song Mu paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said.

"Returning to An Guogong, I just found that the description in the dossier is too simple, so I want to further verify it."

Hearing these words, An Guogong also nodded slightly, and spoke now.

"Master Song did the right thing. It's just that Mr. Tan and I have seen it for all to see. It's a pity that this Ma Yue has given up a bright future to do such a thing of framing."

"Such a good talent, this will definitely contribute to the Wen Dynasty."
