Shi Long, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, came to the Tianji Office in the southwest corner of the imperial city early in the morning. He also served as the commander of the Tianji Office and was directly responsible to the emperor. This man was cruel and ruthless. During his tenure, he handled many major cases and killed many loyal ministers and generals. The ministers in the court were shuddered when they talked about this person.

Shi Long had a very good relationship with Admiral Huang, and they obeyed the command of the Heavenly Master. They belonged to the imperial party. This time, under the order of the emperor, he investigated the general of the Ministry of War. This was a great opportunity to attack Huang Zhipeng, the Minister of the Ministry of War. He made contributions in front of Admiral Huang early on. Lord Huang was very happy when he heard about it, but he reminded Shi Long that Huang Zhipeng was very cunning and must implement his evidence before taking action, otherwise it would be more than worth the loss.

Judging from the situation Shi Long has mastered, General Liu Youlong does have great problems, especially his background is very sensitive. People with this background actually hold important positions in the army and command 200,000 soldiers. Huang Zhipeng is too brave.

But General Liu Youlong did make many great achievements. Last time, he blocked the 200,000 Chu army with only 30,000 people and achieved a complete victory. This time, he defeated the Qifan Giant Formation in Jingchun Kingdom and rescued Jingchun from the fire and was deeply trusted and appreciated by the emperor, especially the Empress Dowager. There was no sign of this person's rebellion at all.

"Please pay tribute to Lord Shi!" After Shi Long sat in the coach's chair, Yuan Tai immediately went up to the hall and knelt down and invited Shi Long to An.

"How is it? What have you investigated?" Shi Long couldn't wait to ask as soon as he sat down.

"Mr. Dan, after his subordinates verified that the battle at Anning Riverkou was indeed fictional. The 30,000-character vanguard troops led by General Liu Youlong did not fight with the Chu army. The so-called great victory may be the result of a false retribution." Yuan Tai said after standing up.

"Where did the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Chu army come from?"

"According to the report of Deputy Commander Huang Yinfeng of the Imperial Guard, he led his team to pursue the Chu bandits in Anning River Valley. Suddenly, he encountered the Chu bandits who killed a retaliatory attack. Because his troops were exhausted and weak, they were defeated, and a total of about 8,000 people were killed. However, the corpses of these 8,000 people were not found on the battlefield. People from the Tiger Camp said that these corpses had been burned while cleaning the battlefield. I sent people to check on the spot, and only the burning of battle robes and armor, and no corpses were found."

"Oh, then what do you mean is that the people from the Huzi Camp brought these corpses back as dead soldiers of the Chu family army and pretended to be the result of the battle?" asked Lord Shi Long.

"It is true, this is the first one. The second is that at that time, the Huzi Battalion reported a list of 520 deaths, and the corpses of these people were not found. At that time, the Huzi Battalion only brought back the bodies of General Lu Tianjie, the cavalry officer, and nearly 8,000 soldiers of the Chu family. He did not even bring back the bodies of his own fallen soldiers. Isn't this very suspicious?" Yuan Tai continued to report.

"But the bodies of these so-called Chu family troops have been burned and processed, and there is no evidence to investigate." Shi Long said worriedly.

"But I have obtained the list of soldiers who died in the Tiger Camp. These people are actually serving in Xu Tianlang's capital patrol camp and have not been killed. The so-called report of the five hundred soldiers who died in the battle is also false."

"Xu Tianlang?" Shi Long seemed to have never heard of this person.

"This person is also Huang Zhipeng's confidant. He was the prefect who killed the Lanling Guardian Wu Qicheng in Quyang County. He also participated in the so-called Anning River Estuary Blocking Battle."

"This is evidence, is there any other evidence?"

"We investigated the soldiers of the Huzi Battalion. These soldiers surrendered to General Liu Youlong and were all tight-lipped. However, according to some soldiers, they did charge against the Chu army at that time, but the two fronts only had a brief contact, and the Chu army retreated and retreated, as if there was no fierce battle."

"None of these can be used as a proof of the truth." Shi Long said with a little disappointed shaking his head.

"Sir, don't worry, we also found an important clue. General Liu Youlong. We have been secretly investigating and found that he had contact with a family named Lin in the capital. Some time ago, after he sent someone to the Lin family, the Lin family's housekeeper immediately left the capital and headed straight for the Western Regions.

"Oh, was it the Chu family army's detailed work?"

"It is true. According to my spy report in the Western Regions, this person did appear in the Western Regions and was a spy sent by the King of Chu. But this is not important. What is important is that I sent someone to investigate the Lin family and made major discoveries."

"Oh, what's the discovery?"

"There are only three mothers and sons in the Lin family. Mrs. Lin is in her forties, one son and one daughter. The eldest woman is in her early twenties and her youngest son is fifteen or sixteen. Don't you think it's a bit strange, Lord Shi?"

"What's strange about this."

"Mr. Shi, think about General Liu Youlong. When he surrendered to the court, he was able to quickly gain trust because he set fire to Chu Muyun's princess and his children in Suiyuan Pass. This was a mortal hatred with the King of Chu, but strangely, Chu Muyun had never looked for a grudge with this Liu. You think that with the means of the King of Chu, he would definitely arrange a killer to chase this rebellious person, but this never happened. So whether the death of the Princess of Chu and her children is real is very doubtful. Think about it now, is it a coincidence for the mother and son of the Lin family?"

"What do you mean is this Lin family Chu Muyun's princess?" Shi Long was very surprised.

"You are right. Lin rarely goes out, but her children often go out. Do you know what the names of these two children are?

"What's the name?"

"The eldest woman is called Lin Xuying and the younger son is called Lin Danlong." Yuan Tai said, approaching the desk, filed a pen on the case, and wrote these two names on a piece of paper.

"What's the problem with this?" Lord Shilong was a little puzzled.

"This is a game of word dismantling. Look, 'Lin Xuying', if you dismantle, it will be 'Chu Yueying', 'Lin Danlong', if you dismantle, it will be 'Chu Jiaolong', isn't this the name of the two children of the King of Chu?"

Lord Shi Long suddenly realized: "Ah, that's true! It means that the mother and son are indeed the family members of the King of Chu. If this is confirmed, it will be ironclad evidence. I see how you, Huang Zhipeng, will you explain it to me? Will you be arrested?"

"I have sent someone to surround the Lin Mansion, but the butler surnamed Lu has not returned yet. Once he returns to the mansion, he can collect the net and capture it."
