Chapter 52: Heavenly Prison Questioning
"Then why did you join the army?"
Xu Mengmeng got carried away and didn't notice the abnormality in the little girl's tone at all.
"At the beginning, I wanted to enter the court, and then wash away the stigma of the family and restore the glory of the family.
Later, I got used to seeing the cruelty of war and the damage it caused to the people, and I felt that the original purpose was no longer the most important, and what I want most now is to try my best to protect the people's stable life! Xu Mengmeng's thoughts were a little ethereal.
Washing away the grievances of the Bai family is the only reward he can give to the original Bai Wanchu, as for the rest, it is his truest heart!
"Ning Jun, you're so good!"
"Okay? In fact, these are all what Zhao Motou taught me, and they are also his expectations for me! ”
"Devil Zhao?" Li Muqing blinked suspiciously.
"Well, a real man, when I first entered the barracks, he was a hundred household chiefs, and I was remembered as his men, and the barracks was a very special place, and the first night there was really terrible.
Their men are too ...... Well? How so? It's just too messy, there are a lot of meat talks, and there are many people eating while picking their feet, and the scene is simply unsightly!
One hundred and eighty men were in a tent, and the sound of snoring and grinding teeth was like thunder......
In the end, I snatched the chicken leg and slipped it directly......" Xu Mengmeng's eyes were unfocused, although the corners of his mouth kept rising, but there were crystal tears in his eyes.
"General, it's time to change the dressing!"
Lixing's voice interrupted the two, and Xu Mengmeng closed her eyes and forced back her tears.
"It's not too early, I'll have someone send you back!" Xu Mengmeng smiled at Li Muqing.
"Well, you have a good rest! I'll come back to see you another day! Li Muqing nodded lightly and left reluctantly.
Cold Palace Courtyard
"Liu Yi, he is your father after all, if you want to save him, I won't blame you!"
"No, he is my father, but he is not worth saving! If he hadn't abandoned me and my mother for his official career, how could my mother have died? And I won't be bullied for so many years? If it weren't for you, master, there would be no more me in this world!
Even if he regretted it later and kept trying to make it up to me, so what? Will it erase the wrongs he did to us in the first place? No, I'll never forgive him! Liu Yi clenched his fingers and said without emotion.
"That's it, I just hope you don't regret it in the future!" The young man sighed under his breath.
The matter of Qingzhou's private soldiers has been handed over to the Criminal Department to be responsible, Xu Mengmeng has been staying in the house to recuperate since he came back from Jiangcheng, and has never gone to the Criminal Department to see Liu Jiang, one is because she was really seriously injured this time, and the other is that she is afraid that she will not be able to help but want to kill Liu Jiang when she sees him again.
Her personality has always been like this, and when she can't face it rationally, she usually subconsciously chooses to avoid it.
"General, this morning, the emperor ordered the abolition of the crown prince! It is reported that the matter of Qingzhou is the prince's handiwork, and Liu Jiang is also the prince's person! ”
"What? No way! ”
After breakfast that day, as soon as she picked up the medicine bowl and was about to drink, she was startled by Lixing's words, and almost subconsciously retorted.
"It's true!" Although Lixing also suspected it, but after many inquiries, he learned that this matter was said by Liu Jiang himself, and he was already a dying person, and there was no need to lie anymore.
"No, it's impossible, let people prepare carriages, I'm going to the prison of the Criminal Department!" Xu Mengmeng poured the medicine in his hand in one gulp, got up and walked out quickly.
"General Ning"
"Well, where is Liu Jiang being held? Take me to him! As soon as Xu Mengmeng arrived at the prison of the Criminal Department, he asked directly.
"General, please come down with your subordinates!"
Under the leadership of the prison head, Xu Mengmeng soon saw Liu Jiang again, at this time he was lying on the ground like a dead dog, his cloak was exuding, and his white prison uniform was full of blood stains, and he had long since lost the arrogance in Jiangcheng, pitiful and pathetic!
"Liu Jiang, don't talk nonsense, whose people are those private soldiers in Qingzhou?" Xu Mengmeng grabbed his collar and scolded angrily.
"Yo~ It's General Ning! You didn't die after being so badly injured, you really have a big life! The old man really hated it! I should have been more ruthless in the first place, and I would have killed you directly when you lived in my mansion, and I wouldn't have ended up where I am now! Liu Jiang smiled sadly.
"Who is behind the scenes? Who the hell told you to defile the prince? Xu Mengmeng didn't believe that sick man would do such a thing to find death, and from the memory of the original body, he knew that he was definitely not such a person.
"I said, it's the prince, and the prince asked me to raise those private soldiers! Who made him the crown prince of a country, but without the support of his mother's family! He doesn't raise private soldiers, who keeps private soldiers? ”
"Shut up, if you talk nonsense, I'll let people kill your son!" Xu Mengmeng's eyes widened and he roared.
She can't let those 2,000 people die in vain, she must find the murderer!
"Liu has committed such a felony of the Nine Clans, it is a matter of time before they are killed, if the general wants to kill him, he will kill him!" Liu Jiang spoke nonchalantly.
"Really? You don't care about Zhang's son, but what about the illegitimate son left by your lover? ”
Xu Mengmeng was almost angry with his attitude, he was so angry that he calmed down, staring at his eyes and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and sure enough, a different emotion slipped through his eyes, although it was a flash, but she still noticed it.
"Liu doesn't understand what you're talking about?" Liu Jiang said softly.
"Oh? Is it? Also, if you don't even care about the son born to your wife, how can you care about an illegitimate child? The smile on the corner of Xu Mengmeng's mouth was even worse, but the words he said made Liu Jiang feel cold all over his body.
After Xu Mengmeng finished speaking, he didn't press him anymore, got up and walked out.
"Ning Jun, if you dare to touch him, I, Liu Jiang, will not let you go!" She didn't force herself anymore, but Liu Jiang lost her calmness before.
"There are so many people who died at the hands of my Ning Jun, how could I be afraid of you? Think about how you will face my brothers who died at your hands after you die! I'm sure they'll entertain you without my orders! ”
At this moment, Xu Mengmeng's eyes were full of fearlessness and contempt, and although the face hidden under the mask was still cold, there was an indescribable enchantment.
"Ah~ Ning Jun, if you dare to touch him, I will kill you......"
The cold and arrogant figure had long since left, but Liu Jiang's roar in the cell did not stop.
"Send someone to investigate immediately, no matter what method is used, you must find his illegitimate son before Liu Jiang's execution!" Xu Mengmeng ordered with a cold face and got into the carriage.
The carriage did not return home, but headed for the palace.
"Your Majesty, today General Ning Xiao went to the prison of the Criminal Department, and just went to the courtyard of the abolished prince, do you want the slave to send someone to inquire?" Sima Ji's personal father-in-law asked thoughtfully.
"No need, I believe him!" Sima Wei rubbed his tired forehead and waved his hand lightly.
He remembered that the man once said, "Your Majesty, Ning Jun's official career has never been here where the emperors are vying for the prince and making meritorious contributions to the dragon, but on the battlefield of resisting foreign enemies and guarding the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
The look in his eyes when he said this was a sincerity that Sima Wei had never seen in others, and it can be seen that what he cared about most in his heart was indeed the people of Li in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as for going to see Liu Jiang and Ze'er, it was probably because of the subordinates he had just lost!
