On this day, Qu Mingli returned home after training in the barracks, and his subordinates told Master Wen to wait in the main hall.

Wen gradually this person is cunning and cunning, and a few days ago, he framed Ning Zeqing in the court, and he was spotted by himself.

"General Qu trained his troops and worked hard, was loyal to the country, and was really a model for all generals." Wen gradually saw Qu Ming leave the hall and said to him with a smile.

Qu Mingli didn't believe what he said, so he was polite and said: "Lord Wen has worked hard all day long to eradicate the ministers of the court, and he can't compare with me. ”

The sarcasm in this statement was very ironic, but Wen gradually was not annoyed, and still smiled: "Just do your duty." ”

Qu Ming sneered, sat straight on the top seat, and did not greet Wen Yan, Wen Yan sat down by himself.

"I wonder if the general has become more and more anxious in recent days, tossing and turning, and feeling a little uneasy?"

Qu Ming suddenly felt a pimple in his centrifugation, but his face was unmoved: "It was not me who framed the court officials, it was not me who was imprisoned in the prison, and it was not me who was reprimanded by the king, so how could I feel uneasy." ”

Wen gradually chuckled: "I said this wrong, don't be surprised by the general." I'm just afraid that the general has done something that shouldn't have been done, and I'm worried that people will know, so I'm here to mention one or two. ”

Qu Ming said with a straight face: "Lord Xie Wen is kind, but Lord Wen is too worried, and I don't have such concerns." ”

Wen gradually stood up: "That's good, that's good." ”

He walked to the door: "I'm afraid that not everything is as people want, and not everyone listens to what they say." Just before I came, the waiter in the house broke one of my vases, so that I was not angry. ”

He turned his head to Qu Mingli and said, "I can't spare this matter, so I cut off his hand." If it's a general, I don't know what to do? ”

The text gradually left, but Qu Mingli no longer had the previous mood.

When he said this, he was warning him openly and secretly, and he didn't know that he got the news, so he made a special trip.

Could it be Ning Zeqing? Was it he who informed Wen gradually of his suspicions, so did he blame himself for his imprisonment?

"The order goes down, and in the future, no one in the house is allowed to disclose half a sentence about the affairs of the house. In case of violation, a heavy penalty will be imposed. Qu Mingli said to the waiter.

Some flaws have been leaked and cannot be undone.

But as long as no one else can find any other loopholes, no one can settle the matter.

But he guarded a lot, but he didn't guard against the moment.

When Wen gradually left the house, he was walking on the road, and saw a person walking in the corridor in front of him from a distance.

Wen walked up quickly, trying to see the man clearly, but the man turned a corner and disappeared.

Wen gradually returned to his house, pondered about this matter, thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the name of "a barren forest" that Ning Zeqing had asked that day in the hazy moonlight.

At the end of the second day, Qu Mingli was left alone by King Ming and taken to the study.

"Qu Mingli, you are guilty!" King Ming said angrily.

Qu Mingli was frightened by his scolding and knelt on the ground.

"Your king, the last general will not know what sin."

King Ming said: "Someone informed me that there are rebels in your house, can you admit it?" ”

Qu Mingli was confused: "There is only one courtier in the last general's mansion, and he is the last general." There is no one else, how can he hide the words of the rebels? ”

King Ming said: "But that person keeps saying that he promises me, how can he deny it?" ”

"Then invite that person to confront the minister, and the general will definitely remove his own doubts."

When King Ming saw him swearing, he asked, "Are you serious?" ”

Qu Mingli nodded: "Except for the two elders from my own clan, the rest of the soldiers and attendants in the last general's mansion are all from the capital. If the king thinks that there are rebels among them, I can only press them to the front of the palace one by one, and ask the king to interrogate them himself. ”

King Ming tapped his fingers on the board and thought for a while: "You go back and check for yourself, if this kind of remarks reach my ears again, I should investigate Qu Mansion strictly." ”

Qu Ming left the deterrence and slowly retreated.

"What else do you have to say?" Ming Wang Road.

Wen gradually walked out from behind the screen and knelt down to plead guilty: "The minister just looked at his back yesterday, and he didn't see the person's appearance too clearly, but Huang Meng and I became the same people in the imperial examination, and I am very familiar with him." Although I haven't seen him for decades, I still know him. The minister believed that as long as he searched Qu Fu, he would be able to find him out. ”

"But as you said, you just saw a back. This king has already deceived him at your word, and there is no flaw, how can you still search the general's mansion for your single-minded guess. Before General Ning pleaded with this king, this king bypassed you. Now it seems that you still haven't been taught a lesson. ”

Wen gradually begged: "The minister is willing to guarantee with his official position, and there must be something strange in the Qu Mansion." The king shall not trust the general. ”

King Ming patted the table and said: "I have known the fourth brother for many years, and I know his temperament very well, how can there be a rebellion?" If you talk nonsense again, even if the Manchu officials intercede for you, this king will not bypass and spare you! ”

Wen gradually kowtowed and retreated, but these words did not suppress his suspicions.

The person who had speculated before had confirmed that it was not Ning Zeqing.

Looking at the generals above the court, the scope has been slightly expanded, but there are also a few people who compound conjectures.

Among them, the most suspicious is Qu Mingli.

Since he was a foreigner, it is not known whether he had any previous connections with other nations, but this also means that it is possible.

In addition, Ning Zeqingfu and Qu Ming are not far from getting together, although there are still some deviations from the direction in which the carrier pigeons fly, it is not impossible.

These doubts are fraught with suspicion, but they cannot be used as empirical evidence.

To convict him, it is necessary to have irrefutable proof.

"General Ning, where did you see the barren forest you talked about earlier?" Wen gradually asked.

"In a book in my house."

"Can you show me?"

Ning Zeqing didn't know what he meant, so he could only invite him to the study in the mansion and hand over the book of "General Scheme" to Wen Yan.

Wen gradually took the book, frowned, and flipped through the pages.

"It's him, it's him!" Wen gradually exclaimed.

Ning Zeqing was puzzled: "Master Wen knows the author of this book?" ”

Wen gradually snorted lightly: "Naturally, it can't be more ripe." I don't know where Lord Ning got it from? ”

"It was given by the first king."

Wen gradually asked again: "When did you get it?" ”

"When I first became a general, it was more than 20 years."

Wen gradually nodded: "After he left the court, he was copied from all his belongings, and it is not unusual for this book to reach the hands of the first king." ”

Ning Zeqing asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"Tanhua of the same imperial examination as me, Huang Mengcheng. He is talented, talented in civil and military affairs, and the first king is very talented, but he fell to Tanhua because he was not too proud. It was originally reused, but for some reason he suddenly left the dynasty and became a traitor. So far, there has been no news. ”

Wen gradually borrowed the book, and was about to leave, when he accidentally touched the books stacked on the side, and they all fell down for a while.

The maids came to sort it out, and Wen gradually discovered another of the books.
