Chapter 58: The White-Eyed Wolf
"They only remember that after Su Xuanmin contracted the plague, he almost killed them. With {dream} small ◢.1a"
"They only remember that Su Xuanmin secretly hid official grain, and they didn't want to release grain when they starved to death."
When Xie Yuan said this, his eyes were full of anger, obviously full of resentment towards the people in Jingzhou City, as well as the white-eyed wolves in Jingnan who had been rescued by Su Xuanmin.
"After Su Xuanmin's death, I also repelled the Southern Wei army, and when I led my troops back to the city, the rumors in the city were already noisy."
"It's as if someone is deliberately guiding, everything Su Xuanmin did before was wiped out, and all that was left was the news that he had embezzled official food and fled from the war."
"There are rumors in Jingzhou City, Su Xuanmin embezzled official food, regardless of the life and death of the people, seeing that the court would definitely hold him accountable for his fault after quelling the war, so he fled in advance, and even the fact that he went out of the city as a bait to lure out the enemy's main general, when it came to the mouths of those people, it became because he escaped, and I was killed on the spot after I caught up outside the city."
"I didn't know why things were rumored to be like this, and I was afraid that the DPRK would misunderstand, so I hurriedly reported Su Xuanmin's matter back to Beijing, wanting to correct Su Xuanmin's name, but after a few days, the emperor announced that I would return to the court immediately, so that Ji Liantang, the general of the left capital, would take over the defense of Jingzhou."
Xie Yuan remembered the events of that time, and leaned back on the Taishi chair behind him with a bit of a dejection, and said with a tired look:
"When I return to Beijing, everything is a foregone conclusion."
"Su Xuanmin is not good for defending the city, and those soldiers in Jingzhou are also guilty of the same crime as him."
His voice was deep:
"I tried to explain to the emperor and wanted to argue for Su Xuanmin, but the emperor just told me at the time that Su Xuanmin's matter was over, and no one was allowed to ask about it anymore, and even Qi Wenfu, who wanted to find out about the matter at that time, was also removed from his official position."
"The emperor did not condemn Su Xuanmin and the families of those soldiers, but when I left Jingnan, Su Ruan's mother and daughter were already missing."
"During that time, I was often followed by people, and His Majesty also sent me to Bei'an to stay for a year, I didn't dare to send people to Jingnan to find Su Ruan's mother and daughter, for fear of causing trouble to them, so let people spread the news that they had died in the war."
"Later, I was in Bei'an for a year, and when I returned to Beijing, it was already a year later."
"At that time, no one in the DPRK and China mentioned the matter of Jingnan anymore, and Su Xuanmin was gradually forgotten, so I secretly asked people to go to Jingnan to find their whereabouts."
"At that time, Su Ruan's mother and daughter were no longer in Jingzhou City, but went to the nearby Jiang County, but before I made up my mind to bring them back to the capital, there was a problem on the side of the household, and the dead Su Xuanmin was involved again, and the identity of their mother and daughter was not known why."
"I hurried to Jingnan and found them near Jiangxian, which happened to save them."
Since Xie Yuan had already spoken, there was no need to hide it from Xie Qingheng anymore, he told Xie Qingheng about the matter of Jingnan and everything that happened after that.
Xie Qingheng's face kept changing with the words in his mouth.
After a long time, Xie Qingheng said, "Then why don't you explain to Ruan Ruan?" ”
"How do you explain it?"
Xie Yuan looked at him sideways: "Do you want me to tell her that her father was supposed to be a hero, but he died innocently and innocently?" Or do you want me to tell her that her father was innocent, but he became the abandoned son who was abandoned after the competition between the forces of the DPRK and China? ”
"It's true that his father killed those soldiers."
"It's also true that I killed his father before the battle."
"I'd rather Su Ruan hate me than she knew the truth about her father's death, and resented those who were saved by her father, and resented those traitors in the court."
Xie Yuan's eyes were full of self-deprecation, and his voice was full of hoarseness.
"I don't have the ability to clear his father's name, and I don't dare to risk the entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
"Those people reversed black and white, so that Su Xuanmin was wronged, but they could make the emperor back down, how could she be a child who lost her protection, and she could deal with it with that little bit of fierce and ruthless child in her bones."
"I think I'm not good at intrigue, and I can't count those tricks, I don't understand the emperor's intentions, but I also know that if I continue to meddle in this matter, it will be doomed."
"The emperor intends to settle this matter, how dare I tell her this?"
Xie Qingheng took a deep breath: "Then you ...... to Chen?"
If it is really according to what Xie Yuan said, he and Su Xuanmin lived and died together at that time, and there was some friendship, at least those few days together, as well as what Su Xuanmin did, just by Xie Yuan's expression when he recalled the original incident just now, it can be seen that he admires Su Xuanmin.
But he married Chen again......
Xie Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth, his face was embarrassed for a moment, but he still said: "Just because I am fascinated by sex." ”
Xie Qingheng: "......"
The son didn't say anything about his father's fault, even if he had more words in his heart at this time, Xie Qingheng swallowed back, and finally just mentioned something else: "Where did the grain that Su Xuanmin went out of the city to find come from?" ”
Xie Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, I was busy sorting out the army, I just asked casually, he didn't tell me, but if you calculate the itinerary, he will go back and forth to Jingzhou in three days, and it is impossible to go too far." ”
Xie Qingheng frowned.
Su Xuanmin abandoned the city and fled during the Jingnan Rebellion, and Xie Yuan was able to testify for him.
The only thing that has been criticized and ironclad evidence for him is the grain he suddenly brought back to Jingzhou.
As long as the source of those grains is found, it may not be impossible to clear his grievances.
Xie Yuan seemed to see Xie Qingheng's thoughts, and said to him: "The emperor was reluctant to let people investigate this matter before, but now that Qi Wenfu is involved and has something to do with Nan Yuanshan, I am afraid that this matter will be revealed sooner or later." ”
"I really can't fathom Su Ruan's temperament, it's understandable that she wants to overturn the case for her father, but Qingheng, you are not allowed to meddle in this matter rashly."
"You haven't entered the government yet, you're just a prisoner of the country's prison, and if you rashly meddle in the affairs of the court, you will cause a monstrous disaster if you are not careful. If you can avoid the matter of selecting a companion for the prince this time, you will be able to enter the exam after the spring of next year. ”
Xie Yuan said with a serious expression:
"You're so good that you take care of your studies, as for Su Xuanmin's affairs, ......"
He paused:
"I'll go to Qi Wenfu."
Xie Qingheng's eyes widened violently: "Father, ...... you"
Didn't you want to get involved in this matter, and didn't want the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to be in danger?
