Xue Ziqin tried hard, Jiang was lifted off the ground directly by him, then flicked to the side, and Jiang was also thrown out, hitting the weapon rack hard: "Speak straight to death!"
"I saw it! Cough cough ..." This fell so hard that Jiang wanted to talk, but couldn't help coughing twice. He accidentally broke his mouth when he fell to the ground, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding .
Jiang Ye stared at Xue Ziqin, raised his hand and wiped the blood on the back of his hand, and continued: "I saw the general killing Lieutenant Guo, how can the general now act as innocent?"
Xue Ziqin's eyes widened in surprise: "What are you talking about?"
Zhong Yi quickly went up to support Jiang Ye and said: "You must have made a mistake, it was impossible for the general to kill him."
"I went to deliver medicine to Lieutenant General Guo in the afternoon. I saw the general walk into the tent and slay the killer. How could it be wrong?"
"You made a mistake!" Zhong Yi picked up the man and ran to the case to take the weapon over and show it to Jiang. "You see, on this weapon, the murderer's knife was not stained with blood, which is obvious. Yes, this murderer is not General Xue. "
"why?"
"Look carefully!" Zhong Yi said. "The murderer's hand printed on it is six fingers!"
The weapon, which was supposed to be held by the four fingers, was obviously a little more. There was a clean piece behind the tail finger.
Jiang Ye made a mess of paste in his head.
He had seen people with six fingers, just the day before, when he was following Guo Linchong in the kiln. Isn't the person who collided with him and lifted him up just six fingers? He thought about the man's face again, and he was only sure that the man did not look like Xue Ziqin, otherwise he would feel strange on the spot.
But he didn't feel wrong at the time, and even now, he couldn't think of the man's appearance.
Xue Ziqin said in a deep voice: "Say what you saw, say fifteen or ten."
Jiang also panickedly stood and said, "Yes!"
Jiang also told the story of the man who met the six fingers in the kiln the night before and witnessed the murder in the evening. Xue Ziqin's mood is too bad, Zhong Yi also poured a cup of tea for him, let him calm down a little.
But Xue Ziqin didn't drink it, he just squeezed the tea cup and listened to Jiang Ye's narration. His face was getting worse and worse, and his hands were tighter and tighter. When Jiang finished speaking, Xue Ziqin crushed the tea cup directly , Cut the palm.
He did not seem to be aware of it, clenched his fists, and smashed hard in several cases: "Okay, okay, with such a great effort to kill the big prince and want to blame the Xue family, and harm Dead Guo Linchong, this hatred is not reported, I Xue Ziqin vowed not to be human! "
Jiang also feels uncomfortable. Now that he looks like Xue Ziqin, he regrets that he said those hurtful words without much thought. Originally, he also felt that things were a little strange, but because of the discomfort and shock, he didn't think deeply about the causes and consequences, so he came to Xue Ziqin for accountability.
If Xue Ziqin is really a killer, then Jiang Ye should be killed only by Jiang Ye's disrespectful deeds, so as not to fall into disregard.
After Xue Ziqin said that, he never spoke again.
Things often like to pile up together, and Jiang is also reporting the situation in Xue Ziqin's tent. Suddenly a soldier shouted loudly and rushed into the general account: "Report-"
Hearing this voice, Xue Ziqin picked up his emotions, which was obviously the battle report from the front. The soldier kneeled on one knee and clenched fists in both hands. Xue Ziqin took a deep breath and said, "Say!"
"The generals defeated the Westward Crusade, won a great victory, seized grain and grass supplies, and more than 400 captives are returning to the camp!"
If the battle with Xi Zuo is a struggle, at this moment Xue Ziqin may still be a little bit happy and calm his mood a little. But to fight Westward, even if Xue Changfeng does not come in person, this battle will only win or lose, at most it is a question of how much to win. Things are happening one after another in the military barracks, and they are all entangled. There is no way to find the source. Xue Changfeng's death order made him hand over the murderer who murdered the prince. With all these piled up together, Xue Ziqin couldn't laugh at all and could only wave his hand weakly: "Got it, let's go to rest first."
Jiang also wanted to say something, and Xue Ziqin said to him and Zhong Yi again: "You go to rest too. There are still many things to do when the old man comes back. Go."
Jiang also suddenly remembered what Wei Lin had said before.
That was when Jia Er died and Jia Da said nothing in front of Jia Er's grave. Perhaps Xue Ziqin needs to be alone at this moment. After all, when Xue Changfeng comes back, he still has to deal with many things, but now he has lost his left arm and right arm and has been fighting for many years.
Jiang didn't say anything, and looked away from Zhong Yi and left.
He didn't know if Xue Ziqin would be like Jia Da. He cried bitterly after they left. He guessed it wouldn't. Xue Ziqin will feel better if he cries out, but Jiang also knows that this general will only bleed, not cry. Because of this, he is a hundred times more painful than others.
It didn't take long for the horses to return to the camp. The cheers outside were deafening. Jiang returned to the camp and lay down. Zhao Zhinan, Jia Da, and the stranger were attracted by the cheers outside, and went out to watch. This is also normal. If Wei Lin is still in the barracks, he must be the first to rush out to join in the fun. The general defeated the westward and captured many of the captive supplies. After returning to the battalion, he would definitely reward everyone.
But Jiang also felt that tiredness was rushing through his limbs, and when others touched the mattress, he could not open his eyes. Obviously he didn't do anything particularly good for physical strength, but he was tired unexpectedly.
He actually put away the futons used by Wei Lin while he was not paying attention, and put them under his pillow. This would leave him alone, with an inexplicable impulse, hoping that Wei Lin would comfort him by now He one or two.
So he couldn't help taking the bedding Wei Lin had used from under the pillow and holding it in his arms.
Jiang also buried his head on it and took a deep breath. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or a real one. Wei Lin's breath on the futon did not feel good, but it was very familiar. As long as it smells, people will calm down and their hearts will be settled.
He hugged the mattress and shrunk into a ball, sniffing the remaining breath above, and the man began to faint. But in Jiangye's mind, he always uncontrollably recalled the murder he had witnessed and what Guo Lin said before his death.
In fact, Guo Linchong didn't say anything, just said the word "he doesn't".
Isn't he ... general?
Jiang also thought about whether he slept to death.
...
Xue Changfeng won the victory, but Xue Ziqin just said dryly, "Congratulations on the return of the general," and said nothing more.
Xue Changfeng knows Xue Ziqin quite well, and by looking at him, he knows that something is in his heart. Right now, if he asks him, he can't say anything. Xue Changfeng arranged that Shan Mo should take the men and women to drink and drink, and to eat meat and meat. After asking Cen Liyu, he took Xue Ziqin back to the general account.
"How are things investigated?" Xue Changfeng asked.
"No progress." Xue Ziqin did not want to talk at all. "Either let Zhou Xiao tell you."
Xue Changfeng gave him a profound look. He lowered his head, and the expression on his face could not be seen by others. Xue Changfeng did not send
Huo, who called Zhou Xiaolai, asked lightly, "How is the situation these days?"
Zhou Xiao quietly glanced at Xue Ziqin and probably understood why he was called to come, so he cleared his throat and said seriously: "The poison was murdered by the attendants who came with the big prince. The man had fled and failed to catch him. "
"Waste." Xue Changfeng said.
But this remark is not to scold Zhou Xiao, but to Xue Ziqin. I thought Xue Ziqin would refute one or two. Who knew that Xue Ziqin neither refuted nor denied it.
Zhou Xiao immediately came out and continued: "Guo Linchong was injured after going after the assassin and was assassinated this evening."
"Let me say it," Xue Ziqin said suddenly.
These things were not children's play, nor did he ignore them in a bad mood at the moment. There was so much involved that Xue Ziqin didn't understand. He looked up at Xue Changfeng, looked at him, and explained from the very beginning: "This matter is strange. Originally I received a letter from a general from Cao Zhongan, the general of the Sui Kingdom, to the Zuoxiang Shangxu. The relationship between Xu and Cao Zhongan is a mentor and apprentice, and there is one other disciple of Shang Xu, Guo Linchong. "
"Before Yan Yangu was attacked, Cao Zhongan mixed in with me, and there was the assassination of the general, they couldn't be related to Guo Lin."
"Next." Xue Changfeng turned around and sat down in front of several cases. He lifted the teapot and drank a bite of the cold tea.
"After the death of the eldest prince, Guo Linchong was injured, and he talked to the connector in the middle of the night and was assassinated." Xue Ziqin said lightly.
Zhou Xiao then added: "This matter should not be directed by Shang Xu, after all, the great prince is also a disciple of Shang Xu."
"Who do you let me hand over?" Xue Changfeng said with a black face.
Both of them did not speak, Xue Changfeng continued: "When the big prince should die, you don't know, now this black pot will be taken by my northern army, are we really taking it?"
"But the murderer has already run away." Xue Ziqin said.
Xue Changfeng bowed his head slightly and pondered for a while, saying: "What about evidence like letters?"
"What evidence?"
"Evidence that Guo Linchong was inserted by me by Shang Xu."
"It's all there," Xue Ziqin said. He took all the things out of the cabinet and handed them to Xue Changfeng. He expected that these important things would be useful, and he kept them all.
"Okay." Xue Changfeng picked up the things, read the contents of the letter, picked up the piece of jade and played with it, narrowed his eyes and then said, "Take up Guo Linchong's body, and I will go back tomorrow Wang Du, with the Ninth Prince. "
"Why?" Xue Ziqin asked quickly. He naturally didn't ask why he wanted to take Cen Lishan away. The Xue family is now being calculated. Cen Lishan is definitely a good card, and he must make good use of it. Now it is understandable to bring it back. But it is hard to understand Guo Guochong's body.
"Because, Shang Xu instructed Guo Lin to charge the enemy and sell the country, and to assassinate the prince. I, Xue Jiajun, have taken his Fa-rectification, and naturally I will take it back to the emperor to show his loyalty."
Next week, Zhou Xiao and Xue Ziqin's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhou Xiao took the lead to return to God, did not speak, just looked at Xue Ziqin. Xue Ziqin's reaction was extremely fierce, he snarled: "It was not what he did, he was already dead!"
"It is dead, so it is an honor for him to be faithful to the Xue family." Xue Changfeng said.
They all heard the stakes clearly. If you can use a dead person to push the blame away, you can even overthrow the merchants. For them, the Xue family and the three princes are all profitable and harmless. It is also a bargain.
But Xue Ziqin couldn't accept it emotionally.
Even if he knew that Guo Linchong had betrayed him, he couldn't bear to let the brother who died with him die like this. And now that the person is dead, he has to name his brother for the sake of the Xue family.
He really can't do it.
"This is not what he did, impossible, I disagree!" Xue Ziqin raised his voice and roared.
Hearing the words, Xue Changfeng suddenly glared at Xue Ziqin, his sharp and terrifying eyes made Xue Ziqin tremble for a moment.
Xue Changfeng said: "I'm not dead yet. The Xue family's business is not up to you."
"No, I strongly disagree." Xue Ziqin's attitude was very firm, but his tone was not as fierce as before.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Xiao knew that Xue Ziqin was stunned because of his personal emotions. He quickly explained to him: "General, Ziqin was excited for a while. After all, he was under his command for many years.
"If I didn't forgive him, now it has been dealt with by military law." Xue Changfeng said indifferently, "Zhou Xiao, you go to arrange and start tomorrow, as for Qin'er ..."
He paused and said: "The Northern Army is still under your jurisdiction, but you are the best, think twice about everything. I can recognize your son, naturally I can not."
Xue Ziqin's expression was desperate for a moment. Afterwards, he lowered his head again and behaved with Xue Changfeng in a proper manner. Without saying a word, he left the general account.
That night, Xue Ziqin was drinking by Guo Linchong's body, and there were several people around him who were not allowed to approach anyone.
The next morning, Jiang was also awakened by Zhou Xiao.
He glanced at Zhou Xiao sleepily and asked, "Will Vice Zhou have something to do?"
Several people next to him had not awakened yet, Zhou Xiao said quietly, "Take it away and hurry up."
"Yes."
When he put on his armor and walked out of the camp, there was already a packed team of horses outside. Cen Liyu stood beside the carriage that he didn't know where he was from, waiting for him.
"Nine Prince ..." Jiang also saluted.
Cen Lishan waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite."
"Is Nine Prince going to return to the capital?"
"Yeah." Cen Lishan smiled at him, "I'm here to take you back with me."
"I?"
"Don't you want to see Wei Lin?"
"what?"
"I've sent a question. Wei Yuanting is in Wangdu. Do you want to go back with me?" Cen Lihang said.
Jiang also froze for a while, his mind was like a paste, all happened in these days. He thought about looking for Wei Lin thousands of times, and also thought Wei Lin came back to find him thousands of times, but suddenly Cen Liye really said that when he took him back to find Wei Lin, he was a little panicked.
Seeing Jiang hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhou Xiao coughed a few times beside him: "This is also the meaning of the general, let you go into the palace with the nine princes, protect yourself."
After Zhou Xiao finished, Cen Lishan was a bit impatient, and asked again: "Do you want it?"
"Yes!"
