While the two were talking, Cheng Qingyue noticed that someone was coming, and she shouted: "Who is there!"

Jiang Yichen comforted her: "Yue'er, don't panic, it's your own person."

"The last general will see the prince!" At this time, a middle-aged man about fifty years old with a tough and upright body walked over and knelt down towards Jiang Yichen with a "plop".

Jiang Yichen hurriedly helped him up and said, "Uncle Yang, please get up."

When Yang Zheng saw King Jing'an, he was very excited, a strong man who was used to killing on the battlefield, and his tears were shining with excitement at this time.

"Lord Wang, you are finally back, and you will wait for this day so hard!"

Jiang Yichen introduced to Cheng Qingyue: "This is Uncle Yang Zheng, General Shen's personal guard before his death."

Cheng Qingyue gave him a big salute and said: "I know that Brother Chen left Beijing eighteen years ago, and it was Uncle Yang who escorted him all the way to Cangzhou, so that he arrived in Cangzhou safely, and Cheng Qingyue thanked Uncle Yang here."

"Miss Cheng is polite, the last general doesn't dare to be, the last general was also entrusted by General Shen back then, if you want to thank you, you should thank General Shen." When Yang Zheng said this, his mood suddenly fell, "It's a pity that the general ......"

Jiang Yichen comforted him: "Uncle Yang, don't be sad anymore, General Shen will definitely be able to see what you have done for him in the spirit of heaven."

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "What did the last general do, it's just that after General Shen's death, he disarmed his armor and returned to the field, and lived a chaotic life."

Cheng Qingyue can understand Uncle Yang's mood at that time, watching his master die innocently, but he can't do anything, that kind of mood must be more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Uncle Yang, don't blame yourself, Qingyue guesses that this grave was secretly erected by Uncle Yang, you let the general's loyal soul have a place to live, so as not to become a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, General Yang has knowledge under the spring, and he will definitely be grateful for your loyalty."

Yang Zheng smiled miserably: "Yes, that's all I can do for the general, I think back then, so many of us couldn't save the general, what can I do alone, during that time, I borrowed wine every day to kill my sorrows, and wanted to follow the general." Fortunately, a letter from the prince dispelled this thought. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zheng changed the decadence just now, and said with burning eyes: "I thought that the general was hopeless to rehabilitate, at that time the prince sent a letter to say, let me not be depressed, in the future, General Shen will be rehabilitated, and I still need my help, after reading the letter, I immediately had confidence, according to the instructions on the letter, has been quietly monitoring Liu Sanjiu's home, two years ago, I saw a back image of Liu Sanjiu, but an ugly stranger appeared near his house, but unfortunately, before I confirmed, the person fled after hearing the news."

Jiang Yichen comforted him: "Uncle Yang, don't blame yourself, the spy I sent out seven years ago reported that he had appeared in Yangzhou, and I sent Chang Rui to arrest him, but I didn't want him to run away, and later someone saw him being chased and killed, so many people didn't find him, I can only say that Liu Sanjiu is too cunning."

Cheng Qingyue asked, "The Liu Sanjiu you are talking about, but the person who falsely accused General Shen back then?"

"It's him!" Speaking of Liu Sanjiu, Yang Zheng's eyes were splitting with hatred: "That dog thief, it was he who took Li Wei to the General's Mansion to search and found the letter, and later he testified that General Shen and Prince Beiliang had known each other for a long time. The prince has always been kind to him, but he is ungrateful and betrays the general, if I see him one day, I will pick his skin, pump his tendons, and drink his blood to relieve the hatred in my heart! ”

Jiang Yichen said: "What does Uncle Yang mean when he said just now that General Shen treats Liu Sanjiu well?"

"That Liu Sanjiu is a guard in the Shen Mansion, and there is a mother who has been bedridden for many years at home, taking medicine all the year round, and counting on Liu Sanjiu's Weibo to support them at all. General Shen saw that their life was not easy, and often helped him. ”

"According to this, Liu Sanjiu and General Shen have no deep hatred, and even kindness, but why did they betray the general?"

"I guess a few days before the accident, Liu Sanjiu took the money that General Shen gave him that should be used to catch medicine for his mother, went to the casino to gamble all night, fell asleep on duty on the second day, and was dealt with by the general with military law, and beat 20 military sticks, so he held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on the general."

Jiang Yichen asked: "As a soldier, Liu Sanjiu should know what a big crime it is to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, just because he was beaten with 20 military sticks, he will put his benefactor to death?"

At this time, Cheng Qingyue interjected: "What about Liu Sanjiu's character?" Does he gamble a lot? ”

Yang Zheng said truthfully: "Before he betrayed the general, he was really not a bad person, he was very filial to his mother, he was famous among the neighbors, and he was also down-to-earth and diligent in the general's mansion." As for gambling, as far as I know, he is not addicted to gambling, and may only go there once in a while with itchy hands. ”

Jiang Yichen said with deep eyes: "Liu Sanjiu's character is not bad, and he has no deep hatred with the general, that is to say, he has no motive to put General Shen to death?"

Cheng Qingyue continued: "He, an ordinary guard, is not capable of laying a net to frame the general."

Yang Zheng asked: "Did the prince suspect that Liu Sanjiu was threatened by Li Wei before betraying the general?"

Jiang Yichen didn't answer him this question, but asked: "Who knows about the acquaintance between General Shen and the former prince of Beiliang back then?"

Yang Zheng thought for a while and said: "After he competed with the general, both of them felt that it was too late to see each other, so they became friends, and then he also went to the mansion many times to ask the general for advice, and the people in the mansion have seen him, oh, by the way, there is also Lord Cui Hao, he also knew at the time, but everyone didn't know his identity at that time, so it was not unusual to see him."

Jiang Yichen asked again: "After you recognized him on the battlefield, did you tell anyone after you returned home?"

"Nope!" Yang Zheng said affirmatively, "Because the stakes are so high, the general is afraid of extraneous branches, so no one said anything, and no one in the entire general's mansion knows his true identity except for me and the general." ”

"Doesn't Lord Cui Hao know either? He had such a good relationship with General Shen, didn't General Shen tell him? Jiang Yichen asked again.

Yang Zheng still said with certainty: "No, at that time, the general was afraid that people with intentions would make a fuss, so he didn't tell him for the sake of Master Cui."

Jiang Yichen saw that he was sure, so he returned to the topic just now and said: "Since except for you and General Shen, they don't know the identity of Prince Beiliang, how did Liu Sanjiu, a small guard, know about it and be used by Li Wei?"

Yang Zheng thought about it carefully and said: "After the unjust case happened, I also thought about this problem repeatedly, guessing what went wrong and leaked it. Later, I remembered that half a month before the general was arrested, once, the two of us happened to talk about the former prince of Beiliang in the study, and the general remembered him very much, saying that he would never meet an opponent like him again. So I wonder if it was overheard by Liu Sanjiu that time. ”

Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked: "The study is such an important place, who else can enter it except the prince on weekdays."

"Because there are important documents in the study, except for the prince and me, only Madame, and a Fu Bo, who is in charge of cleaning, can enter, and even the young lady and the prince are not allowed to enter."

"Then how did Liu Sanjiu, a little guard, get close to the study and overhear it?"

Yang Zheng frowned: "Yes, it stands to reason that he has no conditions to get close to the study, let alone overhear our speech."

Jiang Yichen said with deep eyes: "That's strange, Liu Sanjiu doesn't know the identity of the prince of Beiliang, and he doesn't have the conditions to overhear your conversation, and he doesn't have a deep grudge against the general, how did he make a big fuss about this matter and go to Li Wei to accuse General Shen of rebellion?"

Cheng Qingyue asked: "Could it be that Li Wei overheard it and replaced the letter, he just threatened Liu Sanjiu to be a witness?"

Yang Zheng agreed: "What Miss Cheng said is reasonable, and Master Li has the motivation and ability to do this."

Jiang Yichen shook his head: "Impossible, Li Wei and General Shen are political enemies, if he enters the Shen Mansion, the subordinates will not fail to report it, and you and General Shen will not be unguarded and be overheard by him in such an important conversation."

Yang Zheng was completely confused at this time: "Then I really can't think of anyone else?"
