In the imperial study, when he heard Captain Lin’s report, the emperor was so angry that his face flushed with agitation. “How did this matter spread?”
He was imprisoned just like that. As the ruler of a country, did he not care about his reputation?!!
As for Little Captain Lin.
The original commander of the imperial guards had joined Lord Jing and was arrested in the Hidden Spirit Temple.
Not only did Little Captain Lin, who had been left on duty in the palace, take down the traitors in the palace, but he also arrived at the Hidden Spirit Temple in time to receive them.
As a great contributor, he had already been promoted to Commander Lin.
Actually, the reason why everyone called him Little Captain Lin previously was because a captain who was quite appreciated by the previous commander also had the surname Lin. In order to distinguish the two of them, people called him that.
One was big and the other was little. Although they were both captains, their statuses were different.
Commander Lin said respectfully, “Too many people went to the Hidden Spirit Temple yesterday. I’m afraid it’s very difficult to investigate.”
The emperor was speechless.
“Forget it, forget it. Go and get Earl Zhongyi to enter the palace to see me,” the emperor said.
After this incident, he was even more afraid of Song Jingchen. At the same time, he felt that he was the most reliable.
In short, the emperor was conflicted.
Commander Lin’s gaze flickered. He lowered his head and did not move. The emperor frowned. “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Commander Lin knelt down with a thud. “I don’t dare to hide it. The reason why I know about Your Majesty’s situation is actually because Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li got someone to secretly spread the news.”
The emperor paused and asked with a dark expression, “Where are the two of them now?
Commander Lin said, “At the Punishment Division.” “Go get someone to bring the two of them here.”
“Yes.”
“Hubby, why did you protect Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li?” Shen Yijia asked in confusion.
Song Jingchen picked up a crystal bun and placed it in her bowl. “Because I want them to work for me.”
“But will they?”
It was only when they were going down the mountain that Shen Yijia remembered that Captain Lin was Lin Mu, who had sent them to Xiagou Village.
Moreover, her beautiful husband had already secretly bribed him. “They will. Otherwise, they’ll die,” Song Jingchen said as he looked out the window.
Groups of soldiers walked past the streets, and the commoners whispered to each other.
She could vaguely hear someone counting the number of people and discussing who was going to be raided.
“It was the same situation two years ago, right?” she thought.
The difference was that the Song family was a part of the plot back then and was the topic of discussion among the commoners.
Sensing that the person opposite her was in a bad mood, Shen Yijia swallowed the entire crystal bun. “I’m full. Let’s go fetch Mother and the others, and bring them home.”
Song Jingchen poured a cup of tea and pushed it over helplessly. “There’s no hurry. Take your time.”
Shen Yijia blinked. “Are you waiting for Shangguan Pu to return to the capital?”
Song Jingchen was stunned. “How did you know?”
Shen Yijia shook her head proudly. “Shangguan Pu escaped, but you’re not in a hurry at all. This means that you’ve already set a trap for him.”
Song Jingchen chuckled. “Then tell me, what trap did I set?”
“Of course it’s the Xiao family’s commander’s seal. General Xiao has long been on guard against Feng Manman. How could he be so stupid as to let them steal it? Therefore, what Feng Manman stole must be fake. And Shangguan Pu has no way out at this time. He will definitely take the fake commander’s seal and mobilize troops outside the city to attack the city. When the general there sees him holding a fake commander’s seal, won’t he capture him and bring him to the emperor?”
“Your analysis is correct, but the commander’s seal in his hand is real.” Song Jingchen smiled.
“Really?”
“That’s right. As everyone knows, the late emperor split the entire Tiger Talisman into two in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of someone with ulterior motives. One is in the hands of the person in power, and the other is with General Xiao. If you want to mobilize the city guards, you have to have both.”
Shen Yijia nodded. She knew that.
“In fact, General Xiao has two Yin-Yang Talismans. The Yang Talisman mobilizes troops, and the Yin Talisman warns you.”
Both of the seals could be combined with the emperor’s. The only difference was the direction of the tiger head.
The Yang Talisman’s tiger head faced outwards, and the Yin Talisman’s tiger head faced inwards.
As Song Jingchen spoke, he dipped his finger in tea and drew on the table.
The Yang Talisman looked ordinary, but the Yin Talisman’s tiger head faced backwards. If its neck grew a little longer, it would be able to bite its tail. It was a warning.
Shen Yijia sighed. “The late emperor was too smart.”
Song Jingchen didn’t deny this.
As the two of them spoke, the sound of hooves suddenly came from below.
“He’s back.” Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up and she quickly stuck her head out to take a look.
The captured person being escorted was indeed Shangguan Pu..
