Volume 1 The Young Man in White Clothes Out of the Yin Capital Chapter 7 The Red Clothes
Three days later, when Ning Xiaochuan appeared in front of Zhu Youjun again, Zhu Youjun was extremely surprised.
"Ning Shao, why did you come out so late today, I had already prepared the things you wanted."
"Don't mention it, the ass is about to bloom." Ning Xiaochuan said helplessly, "Quick, let me see." ”
Zhu Youjun handed an envelope to Ning Xiaochuan.
"This is the result of my sneaking into the file of the Ministry of War to investigate, and the records filed by the Taijia Army back then are all here.
But this is not too detailed, there are fewer confessions, and more details are in the criminal department, so I can't help it. ”
Ning Xiaochuan nodded and patted Zhu Youjun on the shoulder, "Thank you, don't let others know about this matter." ”
"Don't worry, you know what to do as a brother." Zhu Youjun said with a smile.
When night came, Ning Xiaochuan sat in the private room on Wen Zhaomin's boat, drinking wine while looking at the military file file sent by Zhu Youjun.
Wen Zhaomin on the side sat quietly on the side, helping Ning Xiaochuan to add wine.
Ning Xiaochuan frowned, this military record back then was not simple.
In the spring of the twentieth year of Taijia, His Majesty ordered the appointment of Qin Feng, the general of Zhenwei, to march south to Nanrong, and at the same time appointed Shan Jing, the son of Yiguo Gong, as a deputy general to take charge of grain and grass transportation and military reserves.
As a result, when the two sides were fighting, they found that the weapons and supplies of the Feng army were missing, and on the contrary, the Nanrong soldiers were holding all the armaments of Dafeng.
In a great battle, the Dafeng army was defeated and 50,000 soldiers died.
After returning to Beijing, His Majesty Long Yan was furious and ordered the Criminal Department to investigate the matter thoroughly, and as a result, he found the letters of the Yiguo Gong and the leader of Nanrong.
In the letter, it was stated that they exchanged armaments, grain and grass for a hundred miles of land in Nanrong, but Nanrong broke the contract, and after the things were delivered, they did not give up the land of a hundred miles, so there was a fiasco in this southern expedition.
The final result is that the evidence is conclusive, and the righteous country is full of beheadings.
Looking at this file full of loopholes, Ning Xiaochuan even wondered how the case was closed in the first place, and he hastily killed the entire family of Yiguo Gong with his letters?
Is this conclusive evidence? The righteous prince is a veteran of the battlefield, and he has never defended himself? No matter how you look at the military record of that year, there are many doubts.
Wen Zhaomin slowly added wine, Ning Xiaochuan put the letter away, and sighed inwardly, "What happened back then?" What the hell is going on with this evidence. ”
"Zhaomin, I want to ask you something." Ning Xiaochuan thought for a long time without thinking, and turned to look at Wen Zhaomin.
Wen Zhaomin was stunned, and then said, "Childe, please speak." ”
"Under what circumstances do you say a person would confess to a trumped-up charge." Ning Xiaochuan said slowly.
Wen Zhaomin seemed to think of his family, his eyes drooped slightly, "It should be a handle." ”
Ning Xiaochuan nodded in agreement, "What kind of handle is worth giving away more than a hundred lives." ”
"More than a hundred lives? What Ning Gongzi said was the destruction of the single family back then. Wen Zhaomin said with some excitement.
Ning Xiaochuan looked at Wen Zhaomin and frowned, "You know? ”
Wen Zhaomin nodded heavily, "Before I came here, I stayed at a relative's house, and after the military filed three years ago, a strange old man moved next door, crazy.
I was cleaning the yard that day, and I vaguely heard the old man shouting that the righteous prince was wronged. ”
Ning Xiaochuan frowned, everyone who had anything to do with the military record was executed, which was also one of the reasons why it was difficult for the Criminal Department to track down back then, how could an old man emerge again......
"What you said is true, is there such a thing?"
Wen Zhaomin thought for a while, "It should be, I remember very clearly, the old man drank wine that day, so his voice was very loud." ”
"There is no endless road, quick, give me the address, I am going to visit this old man." Ning Xiaochuan laughed lightly.
……
The banks of the Fuhe River at night do have a unique charm, the lights are bright and green, the warblers sing and dance, those so-called literati love to come here for a pastime, and even created the reputation of the Hualiu poet - Chen Tingkai.
Ning Xiaochuan turned to look at Wen Zhaomin, this woman didn't seem to be so simple.
……
When he returned to the mansion, it was already midnight, and as soon as Ning Xiaochuan entered the mansion, Su Su walked up to help him loosen his clothes and change into new clothes, Su Min stood aside and lowered his head and did not speak.
"Young master, are you going out tomorrow?"
Ning Xiaochuan nodded, "Yes, I still have to go far away." ”
"The eldest young master has been here during the day, and he will put a letter on your desk." Su Su said slowly.
"Young Master Ben knows, okay, let's go down after cleaning up, Young Master Ben is sleepy and has to rest."
Su Su and Su Min retreated, looking at the rouge-smelling clothes in their hands, Su Min looked at Su Su puzzled, "Sister Su Su, didn't you say that the young master is a good person?" So ...... this?"
Su Su smiled, "I believe in the young master." ”
In the room, Ning Xiaochuan opened the letter that Ning He gave him, suddenly smiled after reading it, and then put the letter on the candle flame and burned it clean, and said to himself, "No wonder, this is really interesting." ”
……
On the banks of the Fu River.
Not long after Ning Xiaochuan left, in Wen Zhaomin's room, a woman in red suddenly broke through the window, covered her face with a red veil, held a long sword, and sat straight at the table.
Wen Zhaomin was taken aback, "You...... Why are you here again, I have passed on the word as you said, so you can let me go. ”
Saying that Wen Zhaomin was about to cry, the woman in red directly pulled out her sword and put the sword against Wen Zhaomin's neck, so frightened that Wen Zhaomin burst into tears and didn't dare to say a word.
"You remember what you said, if you say the wrong thing and threaten Young Master Ning's life, I will kill you with my own hands!" The woman in red said sharply.
"I know, I didn't, I didn't say a word wrong, it was all according to your arrangement." Wen Zhaomin's tears of grievance were about to flow out.
The woman in red picked up the wine glass and drank it down, "Okay, I'll come again." ”
After speaking, he jumped away from the window, leaving only Wen Zhaomin in the room to secretly wipe his tears.
……
Early the next morning.
Ning Xiaochuan came out of the mansion, went straight to the bank of the Fuhe River, and went into Wen Zhaomin's room headlong, never coming out again.
The scholars and scholars on the riverside all said that this Wen Zhaomin could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, so that Ning Xiaochuan had no time to harm the people in the city.
As everyone knows, when they were discussing, Ning Xiaochuan had already left the flower boat, came to the shore alone, changed into ordinary people's decorations, stopped a carriage, and went straight out of the city.
About two hours later, the carriage finally arrived at its destination, the place where Wen Zhaomin was staying, Jiangbei Town.
Soon, Ning Xiaochuan's target was locked on a small courtyard, which looked dilapidated, but the house next door was very well repaired, and it was hard to imagine that these two were actually neighbors.
Ning Xiaochuan knocked on the door slowly, "Hey, is there anyone?" ”
As soon as I knocked on the door, the door opened by itself, and the door was unlocked? Slightly surprised, he walked in slowly.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I saw an old man with gray hair and ragged clothes sitting in the middle of the courtyard, holding half a bamboo pole in his hand and looking at the sky in a daze.
Ning Xiaochuan slowly stepped forward and asked, "Hello, junior Yin Du Ning Xiaochuan, I have something important to ask, and I hope that my seniors will solve my doubts." ”
But the old man didn't move at all, Ning Xiaochuan slowly stepped forward, and just when he was about to test whether the old man still had a snort, the old man swept through the thousands of troops, and directly picked up the bamboo pole and waved it everywhere.
"Ahh Don't come near me, stay away from me......"
"Okay, okay, I'm not near you, I'm not near you." Ning Xiaochuan hurriedly retreated and asked the old man to calm down.
Soon, the old man was out of breath, and it seemed that he couldn't move, only to see the old man staring at Ning Xiaochuan, and only after a long time did he speak, "Who are you?" ”
"Junior Yin Du Ning Xiaochuan, meet ......" Before he could finish speaking, the old man knelt directly on the ground as if he had seen a ghost, and for a moment he was sobbing and kowtowing to Ning Xiaochuan.
"Yin Du, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm innocent, don't kill me......"
Ning Xiaochuan was stunned, and hurriedly went up to help the old man, "Don't, I'm not here to kill you, I'm not here to kill you." ”
The old man looked at Ning Xiaochuan with red eyes, and the smell of his body made Ning Xiaochuan a little unbearable.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me......"
Immediately, the old man fell into an almost crazy laugh again, Ning Xiaochuan was a little helpless, this old man was obviously crazy.
"Old man, I won't kill you, I have something to ask you." Ning Xiaochuan had no choice but to forcibly hold the old man and said loudly.
But the old man didn't seem to hear it, and continued to shout frantically, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”
"I'm going to ask about the Shan family three years ago." Ning Xiaochuan tried to shout helplessly.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the Shan family, the old man stopped talking directly, and he didn't go crazy, his eyes stared at Ning Xiaochuan, step by step, forcing Ning Xiaochuan to retreat step by step.
"The single family, the single family has been wiped out, are you still unwilling to let go of the righteous prince? Still refuse to let go of the righteous prince? ”
Hearing the old man's shouting again, Ning Xiaochuan was also a little stunned, it seems that he has found the right person, this old man definitely knows something.
"No, I'm here to investigate what happened back then, and please tell me everything you know, and I will return the single family and return the innocence of the righteous country."
Who knew that the old man laughed when he heard this, and tears flowed, "Innocent, more than 100 people from the single family were all killed, how can you pay it back, how can you pay it back?!" ”
Ning Xiaochuan was asked and didn't know how to answer, and suddenly found a head appearing on the wall next to him.
"Who?!"
The man was frightened and hurriedly dodged, Ning Xiaochuan let go of the old man, and made a leap to the next door, which was Wen Zhaomin's foster relative's house.
But that person had long since disappeared, Ning Xiaochuan walked quickly to the center of the courtyard, and there was no one in the huge courtyard, which was extremely strange.
"Bang bang."
There was a burst of applause, and three figures appeared in front of Ning Xiaochuan.
A woman in red, covered with a red veil, a man in green clothes, with his right hand behind his back, carrying a heavy sword on his back; There was also an old man in a long robe, the old man stroked his beard and looked at Ning Xiaochuan quietly, his eyes were deep.
"The fifth young master of the Ning family, it is really unusual, arrogant and domineering, and the wine is ridiculous, he has been pretending to be in Yindu for so many years, and now he has finally revealed his true face." The woman in red said indifferently.
Ning Xiaochuan knew that he had heard what he had just said, so he simply didn't pretend.
"Who the hell are you? Why did you ask Wen Zhaomin to tell me this? ”
