Chapter 313: The Old Bustard's Lie
() "Does the prince know about this?"
Chen Dongshan has naturally met Lin Anmin, and after Dong Zhe was captured in Yangzhou, Lin Anmin personally came to interrogate.
The official position and power of supervising the imperial history have surpassed the major prefects, and even the generals of the garrison have to give him three points of thin face.
The official position of the imperial history has existed since the emperor, and the purpose of supervising the imperial history is to inspect the people's situation in various places.
Therefore, supervising the imperial history needs a more upright candidate, but I didn't expect that this time, Qi Yuan also planted a heel in this.
"When you have the opportunity, you must tell Qi Yuan first."
Chang Lei and Xue Tan exchanged glances.
The plan of several people was to go with tens of millions of Nanzhao Kingdom, not to mention the steep road, this capital is even more dangerous, Qi Yuan asked the supervising imperial history agent to supervise the internal affairs of the palace and assist Concubine Shu, but now it is ......
"What's wrong, sir?"
Lu Jingyi looked innocent, thinking that he had said the wrong thing.
"My lord, what I said is true, it was in my house at the beginning, Concubine Shu came with Lin Anmin, who supervised the imperial history, and then Concubine Shu mentioned that Yangzhou was lacking a prefect at this time, and it happened that the villain was idle and idle, so he accepted the kindness of Concubine Shu."
"Xiaguan should be damned, I originally thought that I would just be a casual trick for a few days, and I would be happy to be at ease, but a few days ago, Concubine Shuniang sent a letter, saying that I should wait for two people in Haichun Courtyard who looked in a hurry and looked weird, I asked people to guard the city gate that day, and when I saw the two of you go straight to Haichun Courtyard, I already know about it."
"When the old bustard reported, he was convinced that it was the two of you, so he sent troops."
"But how do you know that it's your two generals?" Lu Jingyi muttered, looking very aggrieved.
Xue Tan saw it in his eyes and smiled bitterly, could it be that he didn't show his identity in advance?
"Bastard thing!"
Chen Dongshan slapped the table, "If it weren't for you bastard messing around and wronging good people, how could you be deceived?" You're okay now! Don't use the lady as a shield, in my place, I am the king! ”
Xue Tan looked at it coldly, and when Lu Jing spoke, he had been observing.
It's true that the lady concubine is courting university scholars, but why did she arrest herself and Chang Lei for no reason? Besides, although the lady has always wanted to establish
is his own political party in the DPRK and China, but he is just a woman, even if he has prestige, no one wants to provoke the general's mansion of the Xue family for no reason.
Besides, Concubine Shu has no real power in her hands, she just makes her speak with some strength, how can she catch Chang Lei, the celebrity next to Qi Yuan?
Lu Jingyi's words are full of loopholes, and they must also be fraudulent.
Thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked Lu Jingyi.
"You said it was a letter from Concubine Niangniang, but what evidence is there? Who is the messenger? ”
"I remember......" Lu Jingyi recalled hard, "I really want to see that person, it seems to be a guard in the imperial city, originally I didn't pay attention to that kind of detail, but their bodies, it seems that they have a crescent moon sewn on the corner of their clothes, and they are wearing palace clothes, and they rushed to Yangzhou overnight." ”
Crescent?
Xue Tan and Chang Lei glanced at each other, wasn't that the person in the East Palace?
It seems that there is something strange about this matter!
"I ask you, do you still have that letter?"
"Nope."
Lu Jingyi hurriedly replied, "I was afraid of being seen by outsiders, so I burned it in advance, and the content of the letter probably said that two people who had something to do with the previous Du Governor's Mansion would come to Yangzhou City and order me to capture them." ”
Looking at Lu Jingyi's serious face, it didn't seem like he was lying, since it wasn't Concubine Shu's order, could it be......
"Could it be that the sixth elder brother did it?"
Chang Lei approached Xue Tan and said in a low voice.
"It's possible, the old bustard knows the two of us, if it is really the order of the concubine, I am afraid that the treacherous and cunning person of the old bustard would have run away a long time ago, and she also knows that we have military power, so naturally she is not willing to fight for a concubine who has never met."
Xue Tan analyzed, "But it is very likely that she has some contact with Du Jiang and Dong Yu, then Du Jiang has been the prefect of Yangzhou for many years, and now it is not what it used to be, since he knows that let Liang Chenshan catch Qin Louyu first, the old bustard must also have some collusion with him." ”
"Are you saying that after Du Jiang left Yangzhou, it is very likely that the sixth elder brother has been in contact with the old bustard?"
"Then you can only know if you bring the old bustard here for questioning."
As he spoke, Qi Yuan glanced at Chen Dongshan.
"Come on, take Lu Jing down first, and wait for the order."
Chen Dongshan understood, and ordered someone to bring the old bustard and the turtle into the camp.
"Bustard, let me ask you."
Xue Tanqiang squeezed out a smile and persuaded him with good words, "Who asked you to tell Governor Lu that we came to Yangzhou?" Who told you that two people would come to Yangzhou and let Governor Lu capture us. ”
Gui Gong moved his mouth, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the old bustard.
"General Xue, if I say it, can you let us live?"
"You still dare to bargain?" Chen Dongshan was furious, and stepped forward to slap him.
"General Chen is angry."
Xue Tan knew very well that this old bustard had not suffered any humiliation, and such a little lesson would make him even more panicked, so he naturally refused to say anything, besides, this old bustard was very smart.
"I could have considered it."
Xue Tan stared at the old bustard and assured him.
“……”
The old bustard groaned for a while, and slowly said, "It's the concubine, it's the concubine of the capital." ”
"Oh?" Xue Tan looked interested, "Could it be that you have seen Concubine Shuniang?" ”
A hint of panic flashed across the old bustard's face.
"That's not it, it's just a message from the mother, saying that it was opened by the lady concubine."
"A casual message, unfounded, why do you think it was said by the lady herself? Besides, this is so far away from the capital, and the lady concubine has always lived in a simple place, how can you know that you are a small place? ”
"This ......"
The old bustard was speechless.
"When Du Zhifu was still there, he often sent letters to the capital through my small shop, but at that time, I didn't know that Du Zhifu actually had the intention of rebelling against the imperial court, I just thought that after all, it was a parent official, and it would be convenient to take care of our Haichun Courtyard's business in the future, so I casually agreed, and it was at this time that I had some contact with Concubine Shu."
The old bustard looked around and made it up casually.
"Huh."
Xue Tan smiled, this old bustard was full of nonsense.
"Even Lord Du Jiangdu has never seen the true face of Concubine Shu, when did you see it? How can you be sure that the person Du Jiang contacted is Concubine Shuniang? ”
"You must know that when the emperor manages the government, he will never allow any concubine to communicate with the outside world, so as to prevent the affairs in the palace from spreading out and affecting the authority of the emperor.
