Chapter 172: Ling Zhan's Suffering

Wei Qing'er's injuries were not serious, but a layer of skin was crossed off her fingers, which had been disposed of by Lang Zhong.

The tension outside was completely different from the tension in this courtyard, and many people were still feeling fear because of the deaths of Liu and Mrs. Shen.

Taking advantage of the little maid's departure, Wang Si gently held one of Wei Qing'er's little hands.

Wei Qing'er tried to draw it back several times, but she was unsuccessful.

"Little sister's injury doesn't need to be worried, if my brother has time, my little sister wants to tell you something." Wei Qing'er was worried about what Wang Si would do further, so she changed the subject.

"Sister Qing'er, just say it clearly." Wang Si was still staring at the bandages on Wei Qing'er's small hands.

Wei Qing'er hesitated.

"If the younger sister says it, the elder brother must promise not to get angry immediately, and everything will be arranged by the younger sister."

Wang Si looked up at Wei Qing'er's little face.

"My little sister met a soldier who went with General Ling Zhan to pick up my sister-in-law's wife that day, and my little sister tested the truth with words, but the soldier didn't hide it, and told my little sister everything she saw that day in advance." Wei Qing'er observed Wang Si's face as she spoke, and sure enough, she saw that his expression became focused, so she continued, "That day, everyone followed General Ling Zhan to the place where Mrs. Sister-in-law and others were killed, and found that everyone had been buried in the fire, including the person sent by General Dong Qi to escort Mrs. Dong. ”

Wang Si was slightly surprised.

"Dong Qi, in order to hide the truth, he didn't even let go of his own brothers?"

"Brother, it's bad." Seeing that Wang Si had misunderstood what he meant, Wei Qing'er hurriedly said, "According to the soldier, there is a group of strongmen in the nearby mountains who often go down the mountain to rob the people's property. On that day, all the horses were gone, and the soldiers suspected that the incident was the work of the nearby mountain bandits, but General Ling Zhan did not allow anyone to mention it to his brother, and asked everyone to make up a lie that was instigated by General Dong Qi. According to Xiaomei's view, General Ling Zhan is the ......"

Wang Si suddenly stood up.

"Sister Qing'er wants to listen to the nonsense of the soldiers, how could General Ling Zhan deceive me with such a big matter."

Wei Qing'er stopped talking.

Although Wang Si said this, he was already a little suspicious in his heart.

Everything Ling Zhan did was related to his own rebellion, for this reason, he did not hesitate to befriend Zhong Tian to capture himself, and even called Shen Yu a brother and brother who had been killed, his intention was to help himself overthrow the current emperor Liu Yong, everything was to serve this purpose, wouldn't he make a fuss about the killing of his wife?

"Sister Qing'er is recuperating with peace of mind, and the little brother will come to visit tomorrow." Thinking of this, Wang Si couldn't sit still anymore and left quickly.

In the lobby, Ling Zhan hadn't come back yet.

Wang Si walked outside.

One of the warriors guarding the gate today happened to be the one who followed Ling Zhan that day.

Wang Si called him aside.

At first, the samurai was a little hesitant, but later, under Wang Si's repeated questioning, he told the truth.

"The villain is just guessing, and no one must have seen those mountain bandits commit murder with their own eyes. However, it is really far-fetched to say that this matter was done by Dong Qi. ”

Wang Si was furious and waved his hand and slapped the samurai in the mouth.

"You and Ling Zhan worked together to deceive General Ben, do you dare not want to live?"

The samurai covered his face and hid to the side.

At this time, a soldier rode to the gate, and when he saw Wang Si here, he jumped off his horse and walked quickly.

The villain was ordered to monitor near Dong Qi's camp, and a few days ago found that his military horses were different, and after several investigations, he finally found out the reason, it turned out that Dong Qi secretly sent people to encircle and suppress a nearby cottage, and all the mountain bandits were killed. General Dong Qi also released his words, which was intended to avenge General Wang Si's wife. ”

Wang Si grabbed the soldier's collar.

"Have you listened carefully, was my wife killed by the mountain bandits?"

The soldier was a little panicked, glanced around, and lowered his voice: "The villain has already found out, but General Ling Zhan is not allowed to mention this matter to the young general." ”

Wang Si kicked the soldier in the lower abdomen.

The soldier was kicked to the ground, but quickly got up and ran away.

Wang Si strode back to the lobby with his sword in hand.

Not long after, Ling Zhan walked in with a middle-aged man.

Obviously, this is the person he chose to deliver the letter to the Jiang Nan camp outside the city.

"The Major General has written a letter." Before Ling Zhan's words fell, Wang Si had already jumped up from his chair and knocked him down with a fist.

"What do you mean, you have deceived General Ben several times?"

Ling Zhan was beaten a little dazed.

"What do you mean by this?"

Wang Si was furious, and the long sword came out of its sheath and pointed directly at Ling Zhan's chest.

The middle-aged man wanted to come over to stop the two, but was frightened by Wang Si's fire-breathing eyes and retreated.

Ling Zhan understood the reason for Wang Si's anger, patted his ass and stood up, casually pushing away the long sword in front of him.

"Can the young general listen to the last general? After saying this, if the major general still feels that the last general deserves to die, there is no need for the major general to do anything, and the last general will apologize with death in front of the major general. ”

Wang Si stared at Ling Zhan's face and was silent.

Ling Zhan didn't care, but what he said later surprised Wang Si.

It turned out that when Ling Zhan was following General Wang Ping to fight, he was once sent to Jiangzhou to be a Jiangzhou pastor because of his meritorious achievements.

At that time, Liu Yong had just been demoted to Jiangzhou by Liu Chan.

As a local official, currying favor with this carefree marquis is naturally one of the things that Ling Zhan must do after taking office.

Liu Yong was in a bad mood at that time, and he just took a few followers out of the city to hunt every day to pass the time.

Ling Zhan had only one son under his knees, he was fifteen years old, and he was born handsome and brave, and Ling Zhan was often proud of him. also intended to ask him to show it in front of Liu Yong, so that he could get a position by Liu Yong's side in the future. So, he often took him to hunt with Liu Yong.

Liu Yong is also very fond of him.

Who knows, the sky is not beautiful, during a hunt, the people led by Liu Yong mistook his son for a beast and shot him on the spot.

Afterwards, Liu Yong couldn't bear it, so he deliberately allocated a lot of silver taels from his own silver to bury this son, and he even went to pay tribute to him in person.

Although Liu Yong had tried his best to do the best, for Ling Zhan and his wife, such a blow was still unbearable. His wife fell ill shortly after her son's death, and died not long after.

Ling Zhan went to the imperial court - resigned.

Later, after being recommended, he came back and came to Wujun to be the deputy general of the Taishou.

"The last general later heard that Liu Yong's house had replaced the queen, and he thought of my son's unavenged revenge, so he thought of asking the young general to come. It is not that the last general intends to rebel, but it is really Liu Yong's suspicion of usurpation. In terms of public and private, such villains should not be let go. Although the last general and the major general occasionally have a gap, the purpose is the same. Ling Zhan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and finally said.

Wang Si slowly withdrew the long sword in his hand.

No wonder Ling Zhan didn't have a small family, but he still had such a miserable experience.

"General Ling Zhan is pitiful, but he shouldn't lie to me repeatedly."

"Wujun City is small, if you don't unite with others, sooner or later you will be defeated by the Shu army, and the last general is also thinking about the young general by doing this." Ling Zhan explained.
