Chapter 23: The Plague of Innocence (Revised)

Hai Chang'an's words immediately aroused the vigilance of Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai.

Although they were still busy checking the accounts, it was no problem to send someone to deliver a letter to General Gu.

They didn't think that Sun Yonglu's people would have any conspiracy against a former civilian official of the border army who had resigned for many years, but they were investigating the accounts of Sun Yonglu and his henchmen in Suzhou.

In the Battle of Suzhou, Sun Yonglu spent almost the entire battle drunk. When he came to his senses, the three princes had all fallen into the hands of Suzhou Wei, and he had no credit from beginning to end. He also shielded the Hu people's spies, refused to be arrested by the people of Suzhou Wei, and kept saying that the spy was his brother, so that the spy used his power to make waves in the city of Suzhou, and almost succeeded in pouring medicine on the well to pour the whole army. Because of the private matter of celebrating his birthday, he also dragged most of the soldiers in Jiayuguan City to be scorned, so that he missed the fighter...... These cases are all ready-made evidence of crimes, and it is not that Sun Yonglu can be confused without knowing a word.

Although the Great Chu Border Army did not suffer any losses and won the battle, Sun Yonglu could not be held accountable. On Wednesday, the general directly tied him up with his henchmen and personal soldiers, and sent him to prison, ready to be escorted back to the Shaanxi Xingdu Command Embassy in Ganzhou City to be tried. During this period, no one paid attention to any cries, threats and begs for mercy.

At such a time, Sun Yonglu and his accomplices probably don't want to see more evidence of their crimes appear, so that they can add to their crimes, right?

Under Sun Yonglu's command, only a few people have escaped temporarily. They were previously left in Suzhou City by Sun Yonglu, shouldering the two tasks of keeping an eye on the Hu people's spies and monitoring the other generals, but because of this, they avoided the fate of being drugged, and because of their participation in the defense of the city, they made a modest contribution, and now they can still retain their official positions and move freely in the city. The person who had chased to the door of the Hai family before was one of them. Now Hai Chang'an will see this person again in front of his home, and his motives are very suspicious.

General Gu didn't send anyone to send anything to Haixi Cliff, and Liu Keren didn't come to the door for two days. It is impossible for this person to follow someone to the Hai family, so what is the purpose of his appearance in front of the Hai family? Why did he look ill-willed? Shouldn't he be in a hurry to exonerate Sun Yonglu, or send a letter to Sun Ge Lao and the Sun family in the capital? Even if he found the Hai family, what help could he have for Sun Yonglu?

The letter sent by Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai was replied to the next day. Liu Keren sent a letter to Hai's house and told them the results of his investigation.

Haixi Cliff had just completed the audit last night, and was now preparing to send a letter to General Gu. He took the results of his work back to his house and returned his cousin's room to the other party. When Liu Keren's letter arrived, he was ordering Cui Bo to take someone to clean up Xie Wenzai's house. Seeing the letter, he hurriedly called Xie Wenzai, and the two went back to the main house to read the letter together.

Anxious to know the contents of the letter, they entered the house without checking if anyone else was there. Anyway, Ma went to see his little grandson, and under normal circumstances, there would only be them in the house.

Liu Keren's news was obtained from the military attache under Sun Yonglu's command, who did not like his style of acting. This military attache had already told General Wednesday a secret before, and now it was only trivial to do General Gu and Liu Keren a favor. He was not Sun Yonglu's henchman brought from the capital, but he was born in the border army. At present, Sun Yonglu is difficult to protect himself, and he also has plans to change jobs. The Zhou family of the Zhenguo Mansion is the best target to defect, how could he refuse the officials who are good friends with the major general of the Zhou family?

According to him, the Hai family had lived in Suzhou City for many years, and Sun Yonglu had not yet been transferred at that time, Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian never hid it from others when they went out, and most of the soldiers and civilians in the city knew them. Although it has been many years now, if Sun Yonglu's subordinates have the heart to inquire, there is still a way to inquire. After learning that the Hai family's mansion was inhabited by three Sun Ge elders who were thorns in the eyes of thirty years ago, this subordinate obviously had his own ideas.

These staff, who accompanied Sun Yonglu, have not been able to help Sun Yonglu win military power for many years, and they can't even get decent military merits, and Sun Ge has long been disgusted. Now that Sun Yonglu is in trouble, even if he has a concubine and a pavilion elder as a guarantor, it is impossible to get out easily, let alone win the power of the border army, he is afraid that he will not be able to mix in the northwest border army anymore. Elder Sun Ge will not embarrass his nephews, but he will definitely hold them accountable for the dereliction of duty! In order to protect themselves, in addition to desperately sending a letter to the capital for help, their staff are now trying to find ways to reduce their responsibilities. After discovering that there were three Wu Men in Suzhou City, and they also had close contacts with the Suzhou Wei people, they immediately came up with the idea of putting the blame on each other's heads.

It must be that the old life of Wu Men colluded with the children of the Zhou family in the Zhenguo Mansion and deliberately designed to frame Sun Ge Lao's nephew, in an attempt to take revenge for the old incident thirty years ago. It is understandable that these later staff members did not know the old things, did not know the old people, and did not discover the other party's conspiracy in time to save Sun Yonglu. This is definitely a crime of non-war, and the sin is not in them!

Mr. Liu concluded the letter by saying that two of Mr. Sun's subordinates had come up with the idea, but that the others had not agreed — presumably because they were too whimsical, and that Mr. Sun would feel that they were shirking their responsibilities and would be even more angry. Sun Yonglu will be convicted this time, and he died completely by himself, how can he be framed? If someone really harms him, it is also a matter of Hu people's spies, what does it have to do with Suzhou Wei? What does it have to do with the old life of Wumen, who has never been in contact?

Liu Keren felt that this time it was a disaster, as long as he beware of the staff from transmitting the news back to the capital, lest Sun Ge Lao and others know Xie Wenzai's whereabouts. However, in the past thirty years, Sun Ge Lao has not fallen into the well, and it should be okay to think about it, but if the Hai family wants to return to Zhili, it is best to be careful, after all, Yongping Mansion is too close to the capital.

After reading the letter, Xie Wenzai was silent, and Haixi Cliff breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all a trivial matter. It's a big deal that we won't go back to Yongping Mansion for the time being. Let's go to Chang'an to recuperate for two years, and when things have passed, it's not too late for us to return to Yongping. ”

Xie Wenzai said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, cousin, I acted carelessly and leaked the news......"

Hai Xiya smiled: "What does this have to do with you? It's just that the villain is difficult. It's okay, haven't they sent the letter back yet? ”

"What if it comes back?" Xie Wenzai said with a straight face, "What if Elder Sun Ge believes the reproach of these staff members and wants to take revenge on us?" Cousin, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid you'll be implicated. For me, you have already lost your life's future, even your son and daughter-in-law. If you want to be burdened by me again, how can I have the face to see you again?! ”

"What nonsense!" Hai Xiya sank his face, "Saying these words, are you going to have a relationship with me?!" It's just a few timid lackeys, afraid of what they ...... do."

"Why don't you arrest them?" A girl's voice interrupted the cousins' conversation. Haixi Cliff and Xie Wenzai were taken aback, and they all turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, only to find that it was Haitang standing at the door leading to the inner room, and they didn't know how long they had been listening.

Haitang walked out of the inner room, came to them generously, tilted his head and asked, "Why don't you arrest these people?" Then they won't be able to send letters out. ”

Hai Xiya glared at his granddaughter, and before he was surprised, Xie Wenzai came back to his senses first, and said with a wry smile: "Silly boy, why do we arrest people?" and they did not do anything. ”

"Didn't Grandpa just check their accounts?" Begonia blinked, "They really didn't commit any crimes?" ”
