Li De met Jiang Yuesheng's wife and granddaughter on the road.
Lide's memory has always been good, even if he just glanced at them from a distance last time, he can still remember their faces clearly. So this time, he still took a look in the crowd, and Lide accurately identified these two besieged people.
The old general's wife had no interest in Lide and Xiang Zhehua at first, because Xiang Zhehua had an unconcealable aristocratic air about her. The old general's wife has seen countless people in her life, so she can naturally see that Xiang Zhehua is a noble lady who grew up in fine clothes and well-fed food, and she is not the same as herself.
However, on such occasions, Lide can always get closer to the other party in the first place.
"Jiang Yuesheng's case is closed. I am Li De, the leader of the investigation team."
Lied looked into the eyes of the old man and said calmly:
"There are too many people on the road, the old man might as well find a hotel with us."
So Jiang Yuesheng's wife and granddaughter followed Lide to a nearby hotel. Lide rummaged through his cash and found that it was not enough to live in a high-end suite, so he could only make do with renting an ordinary two-person room. The four of them seemed a little crowded inside. Li De and Xiang Zhehua sat on one bed, and the old general's wife and granddaughter sat on the other bed, with a distance of less than half a meter between them.
Lide first asked the names of the old man and the young girl in front of him.
Jiang Yuesheng's wife was named Chunjing, and Jiang Yuesheng's granddaughter was named Jiang Lianqing.
Lide told Chunjing everything he had seen and heard in Jinxiu City, including that the villagers in Sai’an Village had been changed, and that seven investigation teams had died in various ways before, including This kind of evidence to prove Jiang Yuesheng's innocence includes killing two city lords by himself and Xiang Zhehua... Naturally, it also includes providing Jiang Yuesheng with a murder weapon to help him commit suicide in prison.
The moment he heard about Jiang Yuesheng's suicide, old man Chunjing's face changed drastically, and Jiang Lianqing instantly covered his mouth, tears flowing silently. Li De sighed, lowered his head, and said to Chunjing:
"Only this matter, I feel that I must apologize to you. Jiang Yuesheng is a hero of Southern Chu, and I still respect heroes. Whether it is a race, a country, or a territory, their rise and fall should not be It depends on a certain person, but if someone is willing to carry the ups and downs on his shoulders, others should pay enough respect. Jiang Yuesheng's death is really not what I wanted, and I am sorry for that."
Xiang Zhehua bowed her head together with him, without the arrogance of a lady from a family.
Chunjing was silent for a long time, so long that Xiang Zhehua kept beating drums in his heart. After a long time, I heard Chunjing sigh faintly, and said to Li De:
"Child, please raise your head... Laoshen is not an unreasonable person. Yue Sheng always thought too much about others and too little about himself. When Xiang Mu told him that Nanchu wanted to rule the world, he just He had always kept in mind the need to reduce the military power of the nobles. Later, when he was about to be discharged from the army, he went to tell Xiang Mu that his prestige in the army was too high, which would not be conducive to Xiang Mu weakening the military power in the future... So he joined the army plainly. Withdrew from the middle, and took away some rags, and the robe given by the lord... "
Chunjing's eyes were red, and his voice became more and more choked up.
Li De took out the bank note on his body and handed it to Chunjing. Chunjing shook his head silently, and said to Lide:
"What do I want money for? Our family didn't get much money when we were soldiers, and we are just ordinary peasants at home. If we really want to get rich, Yuesheng got rich when he was a general, so I don't care about it." So far, I only have one request..."
Chunjing pointed to Jiang Lianqing who was at the side, and said to Lide:
"Take this child out of Nanchu and go to Yunyang."
Li De looked at Jiang Lianqing. Jiang Lianqing's appearance is above average, not the appearance of a celestial being, and she is a little worse than Xiang Zhehua. But she has a kind of resilience, her eyes are bright and energetic. When Lide looked at her, her eyes were a little dodgy, but there was no fear in them.
For a while, Lide couldn't figure out what Chunjing meant, but Chunjing didn't give Lid any time to think about it, and calmly explained:
"People in Sai'an Village say Jianlan, that is, the eldest son of Yuesheng and me is like Yuesheng. But in fact, when Yuesheng was still there, the child who praised Lianqing the most in private, saying that she had the ability to lead soldiers to fight Talent. I don't have much knowledge, but I also know that the world will be chaotic in the future, and Jianlan, as the eldest son of the general, will join the army. Lianqing will also go to the battlefield one day... This is her life, and she cannot escape."
Chunjing whispered:
"Our Jiang family doesn't owe them anything to the Xiang family. Yuesheng died for Nanchu, and Jianlan will probably die on the battlefield in the future. When the old man is gone, how will Lianqing and her mother support themselves? There is no one in the war. Can take care... At that time, Lianqing will most likely choose to join the army as a general, well, wouldn't it be serving their Xiang family again? Instead of doing this, it's better to leave early... "
This trip to the north seems to have exhausted Chunjing's last strength. She was in a very different mental state from when she pointed a dagger at her chest some time ago. Jiang Yuesheng's death also hit her hard. Even though Chunjing didn't show any intention of blaming Li De, Li De could clearly feel that she was extremely sad.
Li De was silent for a while, and said to Chunjing:
"I can take Lianqing back to Yunyang. If she wants to join the army as a general, I will naturally agree. If she doesn't want to, I will never force her."
Chun Jing nodded, with gratitude in his eyes.
Lied asked again:
"How about you come here together? This way Lianqing also has a backbone."
Chunjing helped Lianqing to tidy up her hair, showing a smile:
"No need... I have to go back, Yuesheng is still waiting for me. You guys, don't look at Yuesheng who is capable and calm. In fact, he is no different from a child in many cases. There will be troubles if there is no favorite dish, and often at night. I have nightmares, and I have to coax him... The underground is probably very dark, he must not dare to go alone. After a while, I will go down and accompany him... "
Jiang Lianqing broke down and cried while covering her face.
Chunjing patted her on the back and said kindly:
"You, you, why cry! How many times have I told you that since you were born in our family, you must be stronger than other children. Grandpa and grandma will not be by your side one day, but you have to live go down..."
Ignoring Jiang Lianqing, who was crying louder and louder, Chunjing stood up silently, bowed to Lide, and motioned him to take care of his granddaughter. Xiang Zhehua wanted to support Chunjing, but Chunjing coldly blocked her, and finally Lide got up and sent her downstairs. The old man Chunjing took out the half-remnant robe and put it on his body, tremblingly, he continued on his way back to Sai'an Village.
Her figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Jiang Lianqing's small body curled up into a ball, biting her lip tightly, and did not follow out.
