Chapter 431: Guilt

Soldiers were injured and there was a shortage of food and grass. This series of questions made Pei Liang very worried, and he had all kinds of doubts in his heart, because he didn't know how this could happen.

Thinking about it carefully, this is definitely not what his own insiders revealed, the only possibility is Gu Xiyao, only an outsider like Gu Xiyao has visited the army.

If they wanted to find out about this matter, the only way was to find Gu Xiyao and ask them clearly, otherwise they would never be able to understand what was going on.

Pei Liang didn't tell anyone, he came to Gu Xiyao's residence alone.

He stood outside the door and knocked on the door, while praying in his heart that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Xiyao, because he really didn't want to see things develop into something he didn't want to imagine, and then he would feel very disappointed.

There was a knock on the door, but no one responded.

Pei Liang shouted outside the door, hoping that Gu Xiyao would be able to hear. But there was still no reply, so he went around the room and found that one of the windows was not closed, so he climbed through the window to see what was going on.

However, the house was empty, and no one knew what was going on here, but it was neatly organized.

Pei Liang didn't want to believe it, he thought that Gu Xiyao might just go out.

Just then, an old lady walked up to him.

"What are you shouting here, young man?" she asked, as she heard a voice coming over.

Pei Liang looked at the old lady and looked like someone here, maybe he could inquire.

This kind of old lady shouldn't lie to him, and when he was with Gu Xiyao, he didn't hear Gu Xiyao talk about other people.

"Old lady, do you know where the person who lives here goes?" Pei Liang asked.

He was looking forward to a good result, and the best thing was that Gu Xiyao just went out to play and didn't come back.

The old lady began to think that she was moving around a lot in this area, and there were many people she knew.

"Is it a girl?" she asked.

"Yes, live here. Pei Liang was very excited.

It seems that he really knows Gu Xiyao's whereabouts, so it would be better, Pei Liang can't wait to know.

The old lady began to think again, which also made Pei Liang very helpless.

For the first time, I realized that it was so difficult to inquire about something.

"This girl, she's moved away, she doesn't live here, she's just living here temporarily. The old lady said.

Hearing this, Pei Liang also knew what was going on.

He really never thought that Gu Xiyao would actually do such a thing. But in fact, Gu Xiyao can't be blamed for this, and if he wants to blame, he can only blame himself for letting down his vigilance.

Sure enough, the general was sad to pass the beauty pass.

Shen Zeyuan didn't write to Pei Liang, but he had already found out what was going on.

For the sake of security, he asked Pei Liang to return to Beijing first, he had to ask what the situation was in this matter, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

Pei Liang was also ready, and he returned to the capital alone.

"See the Emperor. ”

"I already know about the army. Shen Zeyuan was very calm.

"However, I still want you to tell me about this in person. ”

Hearing this, Pei Liang was also very embarrassed.

At first, he thought that Shen Zeyuan would blame him, but Shen Zeyuan didn't, but calmly told him.

Then Pei Liang told Shen Zeyuan what happened and his guess, and Shen Zeyuan looked solemn after hearing it.

"Your Majesty, what the minister just said is true. ”

"It's all my fault for this matter, it has nothing to do with other subordinates in the army, if the emperor wants to punish me, then punish me alone. Pei Liang said.

He had already decided that Gu Xiyao had done 100% of this matter, so there was nothing to say.

From beginning to end, Gu Xiyao never exposed anything, which made Pei Liang maintain 100% trust in her, so he has always been very dependent on her, but he never expected it.

He didn't want his mistakes to happen to others, so he just wanted to suffer it himself.

"Now it's not a question of whether to dispose of it or not, and punishing you won't solve anything. Saying that, Shen Zeyuan was very helpless.

He knew that these things were not what Pei Liang wanted to happen, and if he could, then Pei Liang would definitely want to be good.

So what we have to do now is to quickly find a way to solve this matter, instead of punishing Pei Liang.

"I'll send someone to investigate. Shen Zeyuan said.

He is still very calm now, because at this time, it is only useful to deal with it calmly.

Pei Liang felt incredible, after telling these things, Shen Zeyuan not only did not get angry, but also helped him.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt even more guilty.

Because he felt sorry for Shen Zeyuan, Shen Zeyuan believed in him so much, but he did this kind of thing, presumably Shen Zeyuan should be very disappointed.

"Your Majesty, you should punish me, you make me very uneasy like this. Pei Liang felt guilty.

"There is no need for punishment, you have a heart to think about the court, and you don't shirk responsibility, I am very pleased. ”

"All you have to do now is cooperate with the investigation to get to the bottom of this. Shen Zeyuan said.

Saying this, Pei Liang felt a little better.

But before the stolen grain and grass were returned, he would still feel very guilty, after all, this kind of thing happened.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Zeyuan told Song Shuyan about this matter.

"How can this be?" Song Shuyan thought it was incredible.

She really never thought that Pei Liang would actually experience this kind of thing in the past few days, but this is also something that can't be helped.

Everything has already happened, and now all we have to do is to solve it.

"Then what is the emperor going to do now?" Song Shuyan asked.

She didn't know very well, if she wanted to ask clearly, she still had to ask Pei Liang.

In fact, Shen Zeyuan didn't have any ideas yet, but he knew that he had to investigate it first, and it was impossible to let those people be lawless, how could he go on like this.

"I've sent someone to investigate, but I don't know what will happen after that. ”

I don't know what the problem will be investigated, but I didn't expect it to rise again and again.

Originally, I thought that if the turmoil on Shen Zecang's side stopped, then he could relax for a while, who would have thought that such a thing would happen again.

Song Shuyan also knew that Pei Liang was very guilty now, in fact, she quite knew what kind of person Pei Liang was.

Since this is the case, then she can't turn a blind eye and must solve this matter.
