Actually...... Is that so?

Xiao Mian didn't know what to say for a while.

He thought just now that what those people said was false, they deliberately slandered Su Xuanmin's words, they just wanted to use this incident to provoke a grudge between Jingnan and Su Ruan, and those people in Jingnan were sheltered by Qi Wenfu and them in every way, but they were instigated and almost killed Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan, so he could scold them with confidence.

But he never thought that what Chen Han said was actually true.

At the beginning, those soldiers defending the city really died in the hands of Su Xuanmin.

Xiao Mian opened his mouth.

Is Su Xuanmin wrong?

These people don't die, the people who die are the people of the entire Jingzhou City.

If they don't die, the plague spreads and spreads to the whole of Jingnan, and when it is completely uncontrollable, how many one or two hundred people will die? When the calamity extends to the entire Jingnan, these soldiers, who have never retreated half a step to death and defended Jingzhou, will become complete sinners.

Is that what they want?

As for Su Xuanmin, if he escaped by himself after killing those people, others might still be able to accuse him of being ruthless, but he also went to death and did not abandon those soldiers to live alone, who would dare to say that he was wrong?

Xiao Mian's expression was extremely complicated, and he asked after a while: "In addition to Master Xie, is anyone else aware of this matter?" ”

Su Ruan said: "Only a few cronies of the Xie family, as well as my eldest brother Xie Qingheng, know. ”

"At that time, after my father killed those soldiers who were infected with the epidemic, Xie Yuan ordered people to burn the bodies of those people on the spot, and afterwards there was chaos in the city, and after he found an opportunity to bury the burned bones of these people, no one cared about this matter anymore."

"Xie Yuan originally planned to find a way to clarify this matter afterwards, but who would have thought that as soon as the war stopped, my father would be called treason after he was killed, Xie Yuan realized that someone had wronged my father, so he didn't dare to report the matter, so he only ordered someone to hide it."

Xie Yuan already felt guilty about Su Xuanmin, he didn't want to spread the matter, and later after Su Xuanmin was wronged, he was even more reluctant to let what he did be known to anyone, otherwise with the situation at that time, I am afraid that Su Xuanmin's bones would be dug up and whipped.

Later, after Jingnan's old case was rehabilitated, Xie Yuan had the opportunity to clarify the matter, but it was terrifying, and the situation at that time did not allow it.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was forced to trap the second prince, and the Empress Dowager Qian was eyeing her, and the person behind the scenes has not yet been identified.

Xie Yuan was worried that publicizing this matter at that time would cause trouble, so he discussed with Su Ruan to hide the matter, so as not to cause further twists and turns in Jing Nan's case, and except for her and Xie Qingheng, the others who knew the inside story were all cronies who had followed Xie Yuan for many years and would never betray.

Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "As long as there are not many people who know, don't mention this matter to others in the future."

Su Xuanmin is dead, and everyone knows that he died to protect the city, but once the news spreads that he killed his subordinates who defended the city with him, no matter what he was doing in the first place, or whether he was on the side of righteousness.

There will always be people who will take advantage of this to attack and annihilate, and these people in Jingnan may not really be able to understand.

Su Xuanmin is a good person, a hero, and a person who protects them to others, but for those relatives of soldiers, he is their enemy.

For the sake of the majority, sacrificing a few people and even himself, whether it is for the people of Jingnan or the entire Dachen, he is on the side of righteousness, but whose life is more precious than whom?

It is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, if it is Xiao Huai himself, if it is himself who is sacrificed, he naturally has nothing to say, but if it is his closest relatives, he may not be able to say "I don't care" calmly.

Su Ruan was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Xiao Mian was taken aback: "What do you mean?" ”

Qi Wenfu didn't speak anymore, and only then did he speak: "Since that person used this matter to provoke Jingnan and these people as pawns and set up a game for him, then he will definitely not let go of such a good excuse to attack and annihilate the people related to the entire Jingnan matter." ”

"If I were him, I only need to find a way to let these people in Jingnan die with Su Ruan, and then bring me, the head of the imperial court and the garrison, Sima Yu, to spread the news that Lord Su killed the soldiers defending the city afterwards, so as to imply that he had already been bribed."

"The matter of Jingnan is to collect money for the imperial court, and the Bo family and the second prince are just a pretense to be pushed out......"

Qi Wenfu's face changed instantly as he spoke, if this is the case, there will definitely be chaos at that time, and the person in the dark took the opportunity to raise troops and pointed his sword at the court.

If someone turns out a few old cases at this time, Shen Fengnian, the prime minister of the current dynasty, will point out that Emperor Xuan is mediocre and vicious, and the name of this throne is not right, then it will be upward......

Qi Wenfu's expression changed instantly: "Someone is coming!" ”

The person guarding not far away hurriedly walked over, and hurriedly saluted when he saw the three people of Qi Wen Mansion, "Lord Qi." ”

"How far is it from the docks?"

"It's not far."

That man was a member of the Jingnan garrison, and he often walked near the dock, and he was also very familiar with the surrounding environment.

He listened to Qi Wenfu's question and hurriedly replied, "The fishing village and the wharf are actually not far away, but there is a mountain in the middle, and the fishing village happens to be behind the mountain col, so we didn't know there was such a place here." ”

"After we bypassed the mountain just now, we could actually see the pier."

"Lord Qi, look, it's over there."

He gestured into the distance as he spoke.

When Qi Wenfu looked in the direction he pointed, he vaguely saw the shadow of the dock in the distance, where there was some faint firelight, and he could faintly see two boats parked nearby.

"At this rate, it's tea time." The man said.

When Qi Wenfu heard this, he looked at the dock, not only did he not relax, but his heart became more and more restless.

"Zirong, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Mian asked.

Qi Wenfu pursed his lips tightly, his jaw tightened, "I can't say it either, but I'm a little uneasy in my heart." ”

When Su Ruan didn't tell him about the things that followed, he hadn't thought much about it.

But when he knew that Da Chen would split in the future, and he would even turn his back on the current court and defect to the new monarch, and even assist the rebellious ministers and thieves to oppose the Chen Dynasty, he began to feel uneasy in his heart.

Qi Wenfu thinks that he has never had the idea of rebellion, although he occasionally has resentment towards Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, but in the final analysis, Dachen is still peaceful, once he wants to overthrow and establish a new dynasty, the world will be in chaos at that time.

He had no ambition to establish immortal feats, but later he still defected to the new emperor, and there were only two reasons for this.

Or, the situation is forced to do so.

Or, something happened to him that made him have to choose this path.
