The secret that Old General Li is hiding is really too big.
Ji Yunshu digested it for a long time—
"Everything this old man said is true. I have kept this secret for 14 years, and I have never told anyone about it. Now that Mr. already knows, please keep it a secret, let alone let the emperor know. If Mr. continues to investigate. "Linjing Case", don't open the coffin of the third lady."
Ji Yunshu said, "The third lady is not on the Ministry of Household's list. Even if you want to find the missing person, she will not open her tomb."
Yes, no matter how you dig, you can't dig the tomb of the third lady!
but-
"Take it as the old man worrying about nothing, as long as the third lady and the little prince can be kept, the old man will not hesitate."
General Li, this old eccentric, is indeed a good old friend!
But in Ji Yunshu's view, he seems to be a little extreme.
Even paranoia!
Ji Yunshu couldn't understand: "Even if the general really cares about these things and only wants to protect the third lady and the little prince, has the general ever thought that it is precisely because of your unfounded worries, because of your entrustment and loyalty to others, that So many people died in Chengqing Palace, and Prince Rong was also imprisoned by you, is this what it should be?"
Old General Li sighed, no matter how much he explained, it would not help!
Ji Yunshu was slightly flushed when she said these words, enduring the surging emotions in her chest, she said again: "I don't care about this, then I will ask the old general, if the fire in the palace of Yuguo is not caused by the emperor? How are these sacrificed lives counted?"
Some questioning tone!
After listening to this, Old General Li looked at the rain that was getting heavier, raised his eyes, and said calmly, "All emperors in the world are the same. For power and status, even the closest people will kill them ruthlessly."
"… "
"Although there is no evidence in the case of Duke Yuguo's fire directly pointing at the emperor, but there are various doubts, don't you have any doubts? The general who gave the order also had an accident after that night, obviously to hide something, all kinds of strange things, sir, did you really doubt it?"
Do not!
She had doubts.
Emperor Qi Zhen did have a motive for murder, and the only person who had the right to order the replacement of the soldiers of the Duke Yuguo was the emperor.
but-
Ji Yunshu did not dare to draw a conclusion.
He just said: "Whether it's true or false, everything is waiting for the next time to draw the portrait and find the missing person. As long as you find that person, you will know what happened at that time, and everything will come to light."
"What if I can't find it?" Old General Li asked her back.
Ji Yunshu was certain, so he said, "I will find it. Even if the missing person is dead, I will find him and find out the truth about the fire in the Duke Yu's mansion." After speaking, she turned to one side and inhaled. With a breath of air: "The world breaks the law and the common people are guilty. If it is really the emperor's secret plan, I believe that the world will stand on the side of justice. If not, I hope that General Li can let go of the past and find Yuguo. The prince's little prince, but..."
Pause!
General Li asked, "But what?"
Ji Yunshu: "If what happened back then wasn't the emperor's actions, then the jade pendant left by Duke Yuguo, the general could not hand it over to the little prince, but instead took the token and ordered that the 100,000 army be used by the country."
Uh!
The tone of these words seems to be undeniable.
General Li was shocked!
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses is a possession!
And he hadn't answered yet, Ji Yunshu's thin eyebrows furrowed between his brows, and then said: "This is a condition, not a request, if the "Linjing Case" has nothing to do with the emperor, then the 100,000 soldiers and horses will not only threaten the emperor, Maybe it will also endanger the entire Dalin, so the general must agree to my conditions, and I promise that I will never reveal a word of what you said to me today, and no one will ever know that Duke Yu has a small The time of the prince."
Indeed, given the current situation, such conditions are not harmful to General Li.
If the fire at Duke Yu's mansion was related to the emperor, then the 100,000 soldiers and horses on the frontier were at least a life-saving talisman.
If it has nothing to do with the emperor, it is useless to keep 100,000 soldiers and horses.
After thinking about it for a long time, General Li's throat tightened and he nodded: "Okay, this old man promises you."
at this time!
The rain gradually became lighter again, and the two stood outside the grass pavilion, silent for a long time...
And inside the carriage under the hill!
Madam Jiang opened the curtain and looked at the grass pavilion on the hill. After taking a breath, she pulled her hand back and sat in the carriage with a dignified expression.
The heartless Li Zhao threw a candy into his mouth and said, "Eldest sister, what is grandfather talking about with that Mr. Ji?"
"What do you care about?"
"I'm just asking, Mr. Ji has come to our house before."
Madam Jiang glared at him.
Li Zhao didn't give up, and said with a look of disdain: "I don't understand why grandpa is so kind to her. If I hadn't flashed so fast last time, grandpa would have beaten me to death."
"Deserved!"
"Sister, why do you always turn your elbows out?"
Complaining.
Madam Jiang glared at him coldly again.
Li Zhao immediately shut up, but after being silent for a while, he asked curiously: "By the way, eldest sister, why did Grandpa take us back to Qingzhou overnight? Is the capital bad? , is it annoying?"
bother!
Of course it's annoying!
People still owe a lot of gambling debts in Qingzhou!
In fact, Mrs. Jiang didn't know why, the fire broke out in the Chengqing Hall of the palace, and her grandfather was about to move his family back to Qingzhou, which was really strange.
And Mrs. Jiang also had some guesses in her heart. It must be related to what happened fourteen years ago. Otherwise, Mr. Ji would not be waiting here.
But what is it
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it, reached out again to lift the curtain of the car, and looked out.
Old General Li had already walked down with an umbrella, shook the rain off his body, and got into the carriage.
On the mountain, Ji Yunshu kept his eyes behind Old General Li, watching the carriage move in the rain, heading towards Qingzhou.
Probably in this lifetime, General Li will never return to Beijing again.
After watching the carriages go away, Ji Yunshu called Shi Zijin.
Shi Zijin suddenly appeared in front of her like a shadow.
"You are not allowed to say what you just heard."
"Yes!"
"Even King Rong can't say it."
"Yes!"
In Shi Zijin's heart, she has identified Ji Yunshu as her master.
After the two took the carriage back to the city, they almost hit someone as soon as they arrived in the downtown area, and the carriage shook...
