Chapter 63: The Purity of the Flame 08

"You know, General Zhenhai is a good person, guarding our safety, since General Xue came here, we haven't been harassed by those pirates, General Xue has solved these things." The shopkeeper seemed to have some memories.

It seems that this General Xue was really well received, but I don't know why he was sued for treason with the enemy at that time. And he was convicted of this crime, not many people said clearly what happened back then, maybe this General Xue just did a good job on the surface, and there is a possibility, that is, this General Xue was wronged.

"That little second brother seems to know about the fire back then?" Yang Linze continued to ask.

The shopkeeper was silent suddenly, as if he had decided something big, he suddenly took out the silver in his arms and handed it back to Yang Linze, "You, are you here for General Xue's affairs back then, do you also think that General Xue was also wronged, as long as you are willing to help General Xue rehabilitate, I am willing to help unconditionally, and I don't need money, as long as I know something, I am willing to say it." ”

A few people were a little curious about the sudden change in the attitude of the shopkeeper, "What do you say?" Could it be that General Xue was really wronged back then? ”

"Yes, yes, you have to believe me, General Xue was really wronged back then." The shopkeeper said eagerly. The attitude seems to be a little eager.

"The little second brother said this, and we can't say that we believe it, unless the little second brother has some evidence." Yang Linze still asked with some hesitation.

"Yes, yes, I have proof." The shopkeeper seemed to really have clues, and hurriedly shouted to a few people. Then he seemed to think of something, walked towards the door, looked out towards the door, and only turned around and closed the door after making sure that there was no one outside the door, walked towards Yang Linze and a few people, and said in a low voice: "There was another person who escaped from the fire back then, and that person is now on an errand in our restaurant." It's just that because he was disfigured, he didn't appear in the front, just doing a little cleaning in the back kitchen, but no one saw it. ”

"Didn't your boss know that the man ran out from General Xue's side, and still dared to take that person in? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? Yang Linze also asked in a low voice.

"It's not that the boss is not afraid, it's to repay the favor, and that person has a life-saving grace to the boss. In fact, at the beginning, the business of our restaurant was not good, and the boss was decadent for a long time, and even wanted to close the store, and finally it was after the person came to our restaurant that the business of our restaurant improved. The shopkeeper recalled.

"That person is the housekeeper in General Xue's mansion, the housekeeper saw that there was not much business in our restaurant, the boss looked like he was about to die, and walked over directly, asking our boss if our food here was delicious, and after getting a positive answer, he directly ordered a large table of dishes and said that it was sent to General Xue. Our boss felt that this might be the last meal to cook, extra hard, this taste naturally not to say, after being sent to the general's mansion, it was swept away in an instant, plus the general entertained a large number of guests at that time, the reputation of our restaurant also spread out, more and more people came later, a spread of ten to hundred, the business of the restaurant came alive. Later, the boss learned from the housekeeper that the housekeeper was specially found, because General Xue remembered the taste of the boss when he set up the stall before, and he was very nostalgic. ”

"The housekeeper is the only one who escaped, so our boss will keep the housekeeper, the housekeeper desperately bites and says that General Xue is wronged, and the boss doesn't believe it, and has always wanted to help General Xue rehabilitate, but he has not had a chance. As for me, I am an orphan who was raised by the boss since I was a child, and this General Xue is the boss's life-saving benefactor, so naturally he is also my benefactor. ”

The shopkeeper put the silver on the table, and said this grievance to a few people, with firmness on his face, but there was still a trace of uncertainty, as if he was not sure whether this Yang Linze and a few people could be trusted, but if he missed this opportunity, maybe General Xue would never have a chance to be rehabilitated.

"Okay, I'm tired of waiting for the shopkeeper to take us to the housekeeper." Yang Linze stuffed the silver ingot back into the hand of the shopkeeper.

But the shopkeeper seemed to really want to rehabilitate General Xue, and hurriedly stuffed the silver ingot back on the table, "A few masters eat well first, and I'll go and report the good news to my boss first." After saying that, he tried his best to control the joy in his heart and ran towards the back kitchen.

"Yan Yi!" Yan Tianrui shouted softly outside.

"Yes!" With a promise, a figure jumped out of the window and flew behind the shopkeeper.

"Let's eat first, and when we're full, we'll ask what the situation with General Xue is?" Yan Tianrui helped Yang Linze pick up vegetables, and at the same time thought about going to a secret letter to ask what the situation in General Xue's mansion was like back then.

"Okay." Nodding obediently, Yang Linze always seems to be exceptionally well-behaved and obedient when facing food.

However, because they all had things in their hearts, the actions of several people eating couldn't help but speed up a little.

"A few masters, the housekeeper of General Xue's Mansion is inside." After a few people finished eating, the shopkeeper took a few people to the small courtyard at the back. Pointing inside.

At this moment, Yan Tianrui raised his head slightly, and saw Yan Yi standing on the roof nodding slightly, indicating that there was no problem inside.

This is the first step.

"Prince Yan, you must be the master of my family!" As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw an old man running towards him, and when he was almost in front of them, he suddenly knelt on the ground. I begged for it.

Several people looked at the old man, his face had a lot of scars because of burns, and his body may have been because of the fire, the whole person looked rickety, and he looked a little old.

"Old man, please get up first, if General Xue is really wronged, we will definitely help General Xue ordinary, but we want to understand the situation first." This old man is the only witness in the whole case, but at the same time, it makes the whole case complicated, from the previous case of three people being burned to death, it suddenly developed into a case of General Xue being wronged.

"I don't know why someone reported that the general had the intention of rebellion, so I sent someone down to check, but I didn't expect to find a few letters from the general's study that collaborated with others, and those people didn't identify them at all, so they convicted the general with these letters, and prepared to escort the general to prison, but I don't know why, the general was not pressed to prison, but a group of people came to surround the general's mansion, and finally the fire broke out. In the entire general's mansion, except for the old slaves, no one survived. The old butler said with tears in his eyes, and there was resentment and grievances for the wicked man.

"Okay, but we still have a question about the three people who were burned to death in the previous three fires. Did Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu all work as errands in General Xue's mansion that year, and they were all expelled from the mansion for what reason? Yang Linze looked at the old housekeeper and couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart. But the death of these three people cannot guarantee that there is no connection with the old housekeeper, and it is not ruled out that the old housekeeper is also avenging and attacking these three people.

"Oh, do you mean those three? Hehe! Die well, die well! Back then, those three wolf-hearted things were rampant and domineering in the General's Mansion, and they even went out to swagger and deceive under the reputation of the General's Mansion, and the general really couldn't bear it, but Nian also served in the General's Mansion for a short time, so he just gave a little caution, and then drove the three out. It's just a punishment for this man. The old butler felt relieved when he heard the news of the death of the three men.

"Why? Even if these three people went out to swagger and deceive in the name of General Xue, weren't they also punished? Sin should not lead to death, right? Yang Linze looked at the old housekeeper's attitude and asked, sure enough, this matter is not so simple, those three people should have done more than just these three things. There should be others, otherwise the old butler wouldn't hate these three people so much.

"Yes, after the accident in the General's Mansion at that time, we panicked for a while, and we didn't have time to react at all, and the fire broke out, which really caught us off guard. Later, after I came out, I have been committed to revenge, investigating the truth of the year, I found out that those letters and the fire have nothing to do with those three people, but I am the only crippled old man, I can't touch those three people at all, those three people have died unexpectedly now, I am naturally happy, but it's a pity that I can't find the mastermind behind the scenes through those three people. The old butler gritted his teeth, as if he were extremely indignant.

"Uncle, these three people said that you went to them, so what changes have they made since you found them." Yang Linze asked.

"My lord, you don't think it's my old man's hand, do you? Let me tell you, this matter is absolutely impossible for my old man to do it, and I also hope that these three people can provide me with clues about the mastermind behind the scenes, how can it be possible to directly let these three people die. When the old housekeeper heard Yang Linze say this, he was a little excited.

"Uncle, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask if these three people would be killed because you were known by the people behind the scenes when you investigated the fire that year." Yang Linze had to hurriedly wave his hand and said.

"My lord, I'm sorry, it's my old man who was excited, and after I looked for them, they all rejected me directly, and said that I shouldn't meddle there, and speculated, and I followed them in the days that followed, but I didn't find anything unusual. However, the three of them seemed to get together to discuss something, and for a while there was a bit of a smile. Later, he hid directly in the room, and finally the news came that these three people were burned to death, and I blamed me for not keeping an eye on these three people. The old butler said with some regret.
