Chapter 653: Capturing the Hidden Stalker

Huang Mintao shook his head, "Everyone is waiting for him to come and see me. I have no where to find him. As for the secret agents in the court, I don't know who they are or how many there are.

Seeing Jiang Youzhen's dissatisfied look, Huang Mintao said quickly: "But I am sure that there must be a spy in the Hanlin Academy, because the last time I plotted against the Imperial Lecturer Zong Heng, it was that person who conspired with me and gave me instructions for the next step with a note."

Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of someone, the person that the attendant Mu Yuan mentioned to her the last time she entered the Hanlin Academy.

"Someone come! Go and see if Lord Zhu has returned?" Jiang Youzhen ordered to the side.

A Dali Temple guard behind her curled his lips. This Lord Jiang was really so powerful. He ordered the Dali Temple officials around. If you didn't know him, you would think he was their superior!

"Master Jiang, wait a moment. I will go check it out right away."

Jiang Youzhen frowned, noticing the guard's reluctance, but he didn't care.

Her mind was on the secret agent in the Hanlin Academy. Although this person's rank was not high, he was still an official of the imperial court after all.

If they arrested him directly, it would be impossible, and they would have to ask for permission from their superiors. But Zhu Zhimin could arrest him immediately, after all, the Dali Temple was very famous.

"Tell me what else you know!"

"There's not much to say. I don't know much about them. Apart from them asking me to do something, I can't take the initiative to find them."

Huang Mintao shook his head. In fact, he didn't know much about the inside story.

"What about the plan this time? Explain it clearly." Jiang Youzhen asked again.

Huang Mintao was silent for a while before he said, "You have already figured it out. Why should I say more? I don't know more than you do."

He looked at Jiang Youzhen with a playful look in his eyes. "You have failed twice, so you are safe for now, but you can't guard against them. They won't let you go, although I don't know why they are so persistent. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."

"If this is all you are worth, and you want me to protect your young son, do you think it's enough?"

Jiang Youzhen sneered. What he said were all things she had deduced, so why should she make a deal?

Huang Mintao's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately began to recall carefully.

Otherwise, he thought of something and raised his head and said, "I don't know what the token and the military token are. But since they have appeared, we can investigate from these two.

In addition, I have a suspect who is very suspicious. I have carefully observed him for a long time and feel that he is very similar to the cloaked man who meets me every time. "

"Who?" Jiang Youzhen asked immediately.

Huang Mintao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the people present and said, "Let them go out!"

Jiang Youzhen waved to the others, but the last Dali Temple guard did not move at all.

"Master Jiang, I have been ordered to assist Master Jiang in interrogating Huang Mintao. To prevent Huang Mintao from harming you, I cannot leave without Master Zhu's order."

The guard looked straight ahead, he only followed Zhu Zhimin's orders. Before leaving, Lord Zhu told him not to let Jiang Youzhen interrogate Huang Mintao alone.

Jiang Youzhen raised his eyebrows, took a deep look at him, and memorized his appearance. The man was stared at by Jiang Youzhen, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but he still stood firmly in his place.

"Oh? Where is the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor?"

Jiang Youzhen took out the gold medal from his arms, and then said loudly: "Seeing the gold medal is like seeing me in person!"

Everyone in the cell was startled and stunned at first, then they all knelt down.

No one kowtowed, but they shouted, "Long live the emperor!"

"Everyone get out!" Jiang Youzhen said coldly.

Everyone filed out, and then only Jiang Youzhen and Huang Mintao were left in the cell.

"Can you tell me now?" Jiang Youzhen said.

Huang Mintao slowly uttered a name, which scared Jiang Youzhen.

"Why do you suspect it's him? He's not in the capital at all." Jiang Youzhen was a little skeptical. Could it be that he was trying to deflect the blame?

"I have met him several times. Although he was wearing a cloak and his figure could not be seen, his walking posture was very similar. Especially his voice. Although he could suppress it, I still felt that it was somewhat familiar.

Later, I thought about it and felt that it might be him. But this is just my speculation and there is no way to verify it. "

Jiang Youzhen was thoughtful, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Huang Mintao shook his head, "I can't think of it for now!"

Jiang Youzhen immediately shouted towards the door, and the guard hurried in.

"Follow me to get that person!" Jiang Youzhen stood up and walked out immediately.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Master Jiang, wait a minute. Are we just the two of us going to arrest someone? Who?"

"Go to the Hanlin Academy and call a few more people." Jiang Youzhen said without turning his head.

Huang Kongmu was in a state of anxiety today. The Grand Secretary Qian Songyun from outside called him several times, but he did not respond.

"Huang Kongmu, is there something going on at home today? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Qian Songyun walked into the inner room and found that Huang Kongmu, who was usually diligent and busy, was holding a pen in his hand but was in a daze. He couldn't help but knocking on the table.

Huang Kongmu immediately came to his senses and stood up quickly, "Oh! I'm sorry, sir, I feel a little unwell today, what do you want?"

Seeing Huang Kongmu's absent-minded look, Qian Songyun said, "Since you are feeling unwell, I will grant you half a day off. Go back and rest!"

Qian Songyun should not be too harsh on Huang Kongmu, who has been serving him for so many years.

"Yes! Thank you for your consideration!" Upon hearing this, Huang Kongmu hurriedly packed up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and prepared to leave.

Seeing Qian Songyun return to the outer room, Huang Kongmu said casually: "Oh! Mr. Huang, the editor, came this morning and asked you to review the statutes he recently compiled.

When you were not here, he took it to Wenyuan Pavilion. It is estimated that it has returned to the Zhuangyuan Hall by now. Do you want me to tell him or send it to you?"

Qian Songyun's heart moved. Huang Mintao had been arrested and taken to the Dali Temple. The emperor had ordered that the news should not be spread outside, so no one knew about his arrest.

He and Jiang Youzhen had not returned to the Zhuangyuan Hall, and everyone said that the emperor had kept them there to give lectures. But it was already past noon, and Jiang Youzhen and the others had not returned yet, which was a bit strange.

The imperial kitchen in the palace has a fixed number of imperial dishes, and if the emperor wants to reward an imperial meal, he must tell him in advance. Currently, only a few senior officials have had this honor, so it is impossible that they are still in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Isn't it? The people in the Hanlin Academy are uneasy, and some people have already been asking me about it openly or secretly.

Qian Songyun thought Huang Kongmu was just trying to gain personal advantage and build good relationships with Huang Mintao and the others. If they were favored by the emperor, Huang Kongmu would definitely show off.

"Before I came here, Master Huang and Master Jiang were still in Wenyuan Pavilion. You don't need to go get it today. Are you feeling unwell? Take my approval document and go back to rest!"

It was less than half a day off, and my superior approved it directly.

Huang Kongmu seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, he bowed and left.
