Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 189

[Chapter 189]

Yanzhou.

Ma Yuan’s investigations on King Yan, Mo Di, and Yuan Li have all started.

In Yancheng, officials from Yushitai checked the seven counties of Yan County, and then went to Shanggu County to investigate.

In five or six days, these investigation documents were sent to Fan Yang.

As the focus of the review, Ma Yuan is based here.

“My lord, King Yan did not over-recruit soldiers.” A general in charge of the barracks said.

“Among the people, there are no rumors that King Yan is going to rebel. On the contrary, the people from all over the world praise King Yan.” Another official said.

“We selected many officials from Shanggu County and Yan County to interrogate, and none of them accused King Yan of treasonous intentions.”

“…” The

officials presented the results one by one. The more Ma Yuan listened, the more surprised he became. A little bit of goodwill.

He immediately suppressed this goodwill, so as not to make a mistake in his judgment.

But I have to say that this King Yan is really very popular in his own land.

Moreover, government officials and military generals are loyal to him.

Most importantly, King Yan did what a vassal should do.

Implement good governance at home, guard the frontier of Dasong and drive out Beidi.

Nodding his head, he continued to ask, “What about Mo Di?”

“The relationship between Mo Di and King Yan began with the secret medicine brewed by the palace. So I went to Yancheng in person to discuss with King Yan about purchasing the secret medicine.”

“The second time was when King Yan’s land was attacked by Beidi Qiushou cavalry. Yancheng was taken under the command of King Yan.”

Ma Yuan frowned upon hearing this.

When Mo Di Qiushou sent troops last time, Mo Yu fully assumed the responsibility of sending troops privately.

After investigation now, it turned out that it was Mo Di’s instruction.

Obviously, Mo Di lied.

“Is this true?” Ma Yuan asked in a deep voice.

“It’s true. We interrogated the generals of Yan County who sent troops with Mo Yu at Yanguan, and one of the generals told the truth.” The official said.

“What did Mo Di say?” Ma Yuan asked.

“General Mo admitted it. He said that the Yuan family was ambitious. As the head of Yanguan, he had to protect King Yan, because protecting King Yan was tantamount to protecting Yanguan. Moreover, he really admired King Yan.” The official said.

Ma Yuan nodded, and said to himself, “Mo Di, Mo Di, you are so confused. Even if I believe you, you will not be able to explain this in the court.” With a

slight sigh, he felt that King Yan and Mo Di The argument of collusion and conspiracy is really unreasonable.

But Mo Di’s matter was brought to the court, and it was said that he was befriending the King of Yan, and it was possible that he was plotting something wrong.

As for the Yuan family, thinking of this, a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes.

In King Yan’s notes, Yuan Li’s confidant Guo Tu has many doubts, and he wants to interrogate them carefully.

Also, some people in Fanyang said that before Mo Zhai was assassinated, there were shouts of soldiers training in the Yuan family’s village outside the city.

“Is the matter of the armor still unresolved?” Ma Yuan asked.

His men went to Lulong Mountain and found a body that had rolled down the cliff.

The corpse was brought back, and because the armor on the corpse was very special, he asked the officials to search it in Fanyang.

In his opinion, this kind of armor is definitely not something that bandits can forge.

And from the perspective of the battlefield, the ambush was also planned, and the attack was also organized.

It is definitely not something that thieves can do.

So, combined with these circumstances, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Now, he was very afraid of finding out that this kind of armor was in Yuan’s army.

But I have to check.

“Not yet,” the official said.

Ma Yuan nodded, “Bring that man’s body to Dongshi tomorrow, and see if anyone claims it?” The

armor cannot be found, but someone may recognize it.

As long as one of them is confirmed, he can sort out the chaos in Yanzhou this time.

“I hope it’s not as stated in the memorial, otherwise Yanzhou and Dasong will be in danger.” Ma Yuan squeezed the palm of his hand, it was covered with sweat.

…

Late at night

Yanguan.

There are still candles burning in Xiao Yuanshan’s house.

At this time, he was drinking with an official holding a candle.

“Hey, this time Mo Di may not be able to argue with his own words, but it depends on Mr. Sun, otherwise we will not be able to find out the matter.” Xiao Yuanshan said.

“Hey, General Xiao, don’t say that. Without General Xiao’s help, he wouldn’t be able to tell the truth.” The middle-aged official known as Mr. Sun said.

He was one of the officials sent by Ma Yuan to Yanguan for inspection.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After drinking another cup, Xiao Yuanshan said: “This time, the Lord of Yanguan is none other than me. I’ve had enough of him these years.”

Hearing this, Master Sun shook his head suddenly, “That’s not necessarily the case!”

Xiao Yuanshan asked Lu Buyue, “Apart from me, who else can be the chief general of Yanguan?”

“What was found out at the moment is that Mo Di sent troops to support King Yan privately. Director Sun said.

Xiao Yuanshan snorted angrily when he heard the words, “The emperor is too biased.” Master

Sun smiled, “The emperor doesn’t care about anything else, but he only cares about the general Yanguan, it’s a pity for the general, after this incident, the general can only be the deputy general. ”

Xiao Yuanshan was even more annoyed when he heard the words.

This Yanguan master will be Dasong’s famous fat servant.

Every year, the imperial court allocates millions of taels of silver to Yanguan.

He was naturally very greedy for this money.

But with Mo Di around, he couldn’t speak at all.

If it was in other armies, wouldn’t it be easy to get hundreds of thousands of taels a year.

Because of this, he has always hated Mo Di, as the saying goes, being a man of wealth is like killing one’s parents.

Now that he finally became the chief general, he saw that the military salary allocated by the imperial court was at his disposal.

But now he wants to be the deputy general at any time, how can he be reconciled.

Thinking of this, he didn’t say a word, and drank a dull wine.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshan like this, Master Sun smiled lightly, he said: “General Xiao, why bother, isn’t this an opportunity to be the master of Yanguan?”

“Oh?” Xiao Yuanshan looked puzzled.

Director Sun continued: “Although it is only found that Mo Di sent troops privately, it does not mean that Mo Di has no other intentions. If he committed suicide in fear of crime at this time…”
