Mangmao almost fainted.

After finally coming back to his senses, Mangmao finally roared: "Which bastard leaked the news?"

Since this kind of thing is related to Zhao State, Mangmao issued a strict order as soon as he received the news, he would never leak the news.

Now, just one night has passed and the city has been filled with storms?

Mangmao took a deep breath and rubbed his temples hard, suddenly feeling alert.

"No, there's a problem!"

Mangmao suddenly looked up and stared at his confidant and said coldly: "You should mobilize your best immediately and ask someone to check who spread the rumors!"

The confidant was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Mangxiang, now there are many different opinions, and not to mention that there is no way to start, even if you find out the time, it may not be too late."

Mangmao glared at his confidant fiercely: "Can you think of the true nature you can't imagine? Go quickly!"

After killing his confidant, Mangmao immediately got on the carriage and drove into the palace to ask for the King of Wei.

Because it was too early, King Wei was woken up in his sleep.

Since Mangmao was no longer a foreign minister, the King of Wei wore a nightgown and squinted his eyes and saw Mangmao.

"What, the entire Daliang City has spread all over?" After hearing this, King Wei's face also changed.

Mangmao nodded. Although his mind was already full of trapping, he still insisted on saying, "King, something is wrong with this matter. Someone must be adding fuel to the fire, otherwise it shouldn't be such a coincidence."

King Wei pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

Although the King of Wei was upset with the people of Zhao, he did not think that the people of Zhao were a group of fools.

Who would be so stupid to poison the inquiry directly when asking?

In addition, this incident spread throughout Daliang City overnight. If there was no pushover behind it, it was indeed unbelievable.

At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly walked in and reported: "King, there are several ministers outside who ask for a meeting."

The King of Wei glanced at Mangmao, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let them wait a moment, and see them again after changing clothes."

A moment later, the King of Wei met these Wei ministers in the side hall.

These ministers of Wei are all those with relatively high power among Wei, and are also the first few people Su Dai asked when he was inquiring.

As soon as they saw King Wei, these guys spoke in a slight manner.

"King, this Su Dai actually poisoned the ministers of the Great Wei in public. He was so bold that he was unforgivable!"

"King, if you don't take some actions, my Wei Dynasty will be really underestimated by the people of the world."

"Master, let's expel Su Dai and others from abroad and let him go back to Handan!"

For a moment, the hall was filled with condemnations against Su Dai and Zhao.

Mangmao listened aside, and was quite speechless.

If Su Dai can really be driven back, would you guys be able to speak here? If the Wei Dynasty had that strength, such a bullshit investigation team would not be able to be established at all!

Also, what happened to you guys hurrying into the palace to make a sensation as soon as it dawns? Did you all quietly connect them last night, each of them was so neat?

Mangmao suddenly thought of a possibility and trembled quietly and shivered.

Isn’t all this directed and acted by Zhao people?

Could it be that he and the king were wrong yesterday that Su Dai had completed the persuasion of these guys to surrender. He was going to start taking action in the Wei Kingdom and deal with the Wei Kingdom without any bloodshed?

It's not right. It's still winter, and the Zhao army cannot be organized.

Just as Mangmao was thinking hard while he was dragging his head, which was very painful due to staying up late, King Wei could no longer help knocking on the table: "Shut up!"

The hall became quiet in an instant.

The King of Wei looked at Mangmao quietly. Mangmao's heart moved, and his body subconsciously turned his back, showing a confused expression on his face.

The King of Wei retracted his eyes, stared at the ministers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "How do you know the news of Su Dai's poisoning?"

Several Wei ministers were stunned at the same time. Several people's eyes remained unchanged, but several others quietly glanced at Mangmao.

Of course, Mangmao noticed this kind of gaze, and was also a little strange in his heart. He immediately spoke: "King, the old minister has already ordered it, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to leak the news."

He had to pick himself out, otherwise the king might think he had some strange tacit understanding with these guys.

After Mangmao finished speaking, the hall was quiet for a moment. Suddenly, a minister who was good at Mangmao on weekdays, Qi Lin, said: "That's right, the old minister's son happened to be working in the Xiangbang official residence. Yesterday, he followed Mangxiang to the scene of the case, so... please forgive me."

The King of Wei looked at the old minister and then at Mangmao. The expression on his face became more and more strange. After a while, he asked again: "Then this matter has spread throughout Daliang City, and it is your work?"

"Spread throughout Daliang City?" Qi Lin was shocked and said hurriedly: "The king misunderstood. The old minister just informed several other ministers after knowing this matter, and then went to the palace to meet the king early this morning. Besides, how could the old minister go around to promote such an important matter?"

King Wei nodded slightly and said after a few breaths: "Okay, I understand this matter. You should step back first, I have my own concerns. Mangxiang, you have worked hard all day and night, so go back and rest first."

Mangmao nodded and left the hall with everyone.

What made Mangmao feel a little strange was that Qi Lin actually followed, with an expression that he obviously had something to say.

Mangmao glanced at Qi Lin and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He gestured to the other party and got on his carriage.

Soon, Qi Lin also got in.

The carriage began to move, and Qi Lin couldn't wait to speak as soon as the carriage started: "Mang Xiang, did something happen again? Why are the words you said today different from what someone told me last night?"

Mangmao was shocked all of a sudden, his body bounced up almost instantly and came to Qi Lin's eyes: "What did you say just now? Did I ask someone to pass on a message to you last night?"

Qi Lin blinked and showed a puzzled expression: "Mangxiang, what do you mean? Didn't you ask your guard chief Mangzhong to send me a message yesterday?"

Mangmao's heart began to pound, and he immediately asked, "What did Mangzhong say to you?"

Qi Lin looked at Mangmao in surprise, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "Don't you know Mangxiang? What happened?"

Mangmao's face darkened and he said, "You answer my question first!"

Qi Lin then came to his senses and said, "Actually, I didn't say anything. I just told me that someone was called by Su Dai to ask questions and was poisoned to death. I asked me to call a few reliable people to go to the palace this morning to help you. No matter what, I have to find a way to get the king to drive away the Zhao people's investigation team."

As Mangmao listened, his face gradually became ugly.

Qi Lin is a political ally of Mangmao, the very reliable one. If there is a "Mangmao faction" in the Wei Kingdom, Qi Lin must be the unquestionable backbone.

It is impossible and unnecessary for such a person to lie to Mangmao.

However, Mangmao was dealing with the drug murder case all night last night, and did not ask Mangzhong to send any message to Qi Lin. He just asked Mangzhong to go back to Mangmao's mansion and told Mangmao's wife that she would not go home tonight.

So, is Mang Zhong the one in question?

...

Mang Zhong is a brother of Mangmao's family. He has been following Mangmao since he was sixteen years old, and it has been more than 30 years since now.

Even when Mangmao went out to lead troops to fight, Mangzhong was the driver of Mangmao's chariot.

If Mang Zhong could even betray Mang Mao, Mang Mao wouldn't know who else he could believe in.

Mangmao suddenly lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Where is Mangzhongren?"

A guard from Mang Mansion came over outside and said, "After the son of the Zhongshu sent you into the palace just now, he said that he had something important to do according to your order, so that we would wait for you here and leave the palace by ourselves."

Mangmao let out a long breath, put down the curtain of the carriage, closed his eyes, and leaned against the slanting bed of the carriage.

At this time, he really needs to be quiet.

Just when Mangmao was thinking about quietness, his chief guard and his clan brother Mang Zhong had already arrived in an inconspicuous house in the northeast corner of Daliang City.

Here, he saw a man who was about the same age as himself, but was so smooth that he had no beard under his jaw.

Mang Zhong stared at the man in front of him and said coldly: "I have completed all the things you asked me to do, where is my wife and children?"

The man smiled and said in the feminine and sharp voice unique to the temple people: "Bring it out."

A moment later, a middle-aged woman with a terrified expression ran out with three boys and girls of different ages, hiding nervously behind Mang Zhong, who was Mang Zhong's wife and children.

Mang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and hugged one of the youngest girls in his arms, comforted him with a few words of warmth, and then said to his wife: "It's okay, you go out and wait for me for a while."

The woman hesitated for a moment and walked out with a few children.

After his wife and children left, Mang Zhong seemed to have let go of his worries, and the expression on his face returned to coldness.

I have to say that when Mang Zhong put on this expression, a little bit of majesty naturally dissipated.

Mang Zhong is not only the chief guard of Mangmao, but also the son of the Central Concubine of Mang Mansion.

Decades ago, there was a guy who was the son of the prime minister of Wei. Later, the man went to Qin and presided over the reform. His name was Shang Yang.

Mangmao said: "You Qin people are really brave. They dare to do whatever they want on the territory of the Great Wei."

Needless to say, the temple’s people who talked to Mangmao were naturally the spy leader from Qin State - Hou.

Hou smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are doing anything wrong. What matters is that we succeeded, right?"

Mang Zhong sneered and said, "Do you know that I brought a group of soldiers of hundreds of people here? As long as I have a signal, all of you will die here."

Hou Haha laughed and said, "A man who is about to escape from Daliang City actually said that he brought a hundred soldiers. Does the son of the Nakamashita think this joke is funny?"

Mang Zhong's face changed slightly and he said, "How did you know?"

Hou sighed and said, "If there is no inner support by the Nakamasato, how could the Nakamasato's family fall into our hands so easily? It can only be said that the Nakamasato's concern is a mess."

Mang Zhong snorted heavily, and after a while, he said: "To be honest, you are trying to provoke the relationship between the Great Wei and Zhao State, right?"
