Chapter 36: Bloody Clothes as Proof

"Although I am young, I also know that no matter how perfect an excuse is, it is only an excuse after all. If you can deceive others for a while, you can't deceive for a lifetime, and sooner or later someone will be exposed. While Chu Lange was talking, a small pile of weeds had been pulled out next to him.

Hearing this, Jiang Ting pondered.

What a little girl who is not simple.

Jiang Ting said: "Little girl, you do have some shadows of General Chu, but I have also worked with General Chu, and I have not heard her mention it, and I know a little girl like you." Besides, if you really knew her, you and the old woman would not have lived so hard, and even the death of your mother would not have the money to heal. ”

Chu Lange had to sigh, Jiang Ting was still so difficult to deal with.

In the end, she slapped the mud off her little hand and whispered to herself: "Beiyan Pass, Pu Huang." ”

Jiang Ting's expression froze, and then he was stunned.

Six years ago, during the Battle of Beiyan Pass, the vanguard army of Xiao State was ambushed and almost completely annihilated. The pioneer general who led the troops back then was Zhuo Yilan. When the news came, Jiang Ting immediately asked for troops to rescue, but Chu Lange refused on the spot. And Jiang Ting insisted on going his own way, dispatching troops without authorization, and insisted on going. Unexpectedly, he was also ambushed by the enemy and suffered heavy casualties.

When Jiang Ting retreated, he was rescued by Chu Lange in disguise.

At the same time, Chu Lange also rescued Zhuo Yilan, who was in a coma.

At that time, the three of them were trapped and could only lurk for a few days, but all three of them were injured, and Chu Lange almost lost his life in order to pick some pu huang and come back. And she also gave Pu Huang to him and Zhuo Yilan to stop bleeding and bandage, she didn't want to use it herself, it was a life-saving herb at that time.

Except for him and Chu Lange, no one knows about this anymore.

Even Zhuo Yilan didn't know that he was still unconscious at the time.

Subsequently, Jiang Ting transferred troops without authorization and was almost dealt with by military law. It was Zhuo Yilan who desperately saved him with a sword, so Zhuo Yilan was also demoted, transferred to Chu Lange's subordinates, and became a small soldier. The following year, Emperor Yuan secretly decreed that Zhuo Yilan had to return to Beijing with the army and officially appeared in front of people. As for his crime, Emperor Yuan followed it and no longer pursued it, but there was no way to recover his official position.

"You...... Is it really General Chu's people? Jiang Ting's expression softened.

Chu Lange nodded.

Jiang Ting put down the barrel and invited Chu Lange into the house.

Smelling the aroma of the food in the kitchen, Chu Lange was cheeky and begged for food, he was busy for a day, he had only eaten a bowl of noodles in the city, and now it was evening, and his stomach was indeed a little hungry.

Jiang Ting didn't mind, and smiled and brought her dishes and chopsticks.

While eating, he told her about Zhuo Yilan's situation.

The reason is that Lord Qi of Jingzhao Mansion posted a reward in order to solve the case, and anyone who provides clues and informants can get 100,000 silver.

A guard from Zhuo Mansion went to the official mansion to inform, and even took out a bloody coat of Zhuo Yilan as evidence.

There are human witnesses, physical evidence, all of them.

In addition, Zhuo Yilan did have injuries on his body during the investigation.

The emperor ordered Zhuo Yilan to be imprisoned in the prison.

Reviewed for a month.

Just one person came out, the evidence was still insufficient, and there was no motive for killing.

If you say that there is a personal grudge, it is very far-fetched, no one has ever heard of Duanwang and Zhuo Yilan having a grudge before.

Of course, even if you want to charge Zhuo Yilan with the crime of "plotting to usurp the throne and killing the imperial family", it is obviously a bit untenable. As we all know, Zhuo Yilan does not like to make friends with powerful people in the court, and even offended many ministers.
