Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "There is a fire in Cheng Zhicheng's house, I'm going to put it out."

"Why is there a fire again?"

"Someone set fire and committed murder with the intention of killing people. If I hadn't arrived in time today, Cheng Zhicheng would have been in great danger."

Xu Yuan did not mention that Xu Wenxian was also in the fire. She avoided the main point and asked Zhang Yue: "Brother, how have you been these days?"

"I'm fine. After I joined the military camp, there was a competition and I took first place. Now I'm studying with General Xie."

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he patted his head and said happily, "To be honest, General Xie really knows how to appreciate people. People here say that this is the first time that General Xie values ​​a young person so much. I have a bright future."

Xuyuan didn't know what to say.

Are you saying that Zhang Yue is too naive and young to understand the twists and turns?

Xie Xiaocheng's move was not to promote Zhang Yue, but to keep a close eye on him.

Forget it, Zhang Yue thought so, so let him think like that.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Then congratulations in advance, brother."

As the two were talking, they arrived at the main tent.

Zhang Yue stopped, stood still and said, "Xuyuan, go in. General Xie only wants to see you."

"it is good."

Xuyuan nodded and stepped in. Torches were burning in the main tent, illuminating the world.

Xie Xiaocheng was sitting in the upper seat. When he saw Xu Yuan coming over, he said, "Brothers are really affectionate. It took Mr. Xu so long to walk such a short distance."

Hearing that Xie Xiaocheng was saying that she was late, Xu Yuan said, "I am a little bit unable to walk after surviving the disaster."

"Survived a disaster?" Xie Xiaocheng raised his eyebrows.

He thought about making a wish for various things, such as saving the third prince, asking for money and power, or asking for Zhang Yue to be promoted.

But he didn't expect that the first sentence of his wish would be this.

"Yes, I survived a disaster."

Xu Yuan raised his eyes, looked at Xie Xiaocheng and said, "More than ten people have died in Sishui County in the past month, all of them were students in the academy. Sishui County is different from other counties, as General Xie is in charge. Could it be that General Xie has not heard any rumors?"

The words of the wish were very calm, and seemed to have no other meaning.

But Xie Xiaocheng inexplicably felt that Xu Yuan's words sounded a bit aggressive.

He thought to himself that he was overthinking.

So he said, "I have heard a little about this matter, but I don't know much. Mr. Xu, is this the reason you came here today?"

"Correct."

Xu Yuan nodded and said directly: "This is not an accident, because the fire was to cover up the truth of the murder. General Xie, you didn't know it before, but now that you know, you should not think of sitting back and doing nothing, right?"

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Xie Xiaocheng finally understood why Xu Yuan came here.

He thought for a while and said, "Although Sishui County is ruled by a general, I have lived in the military camp all year round. You should go to the county government and ask the county magistrate to make the decision on these matters."

"If the county magistrate could make the decision, why would I come here today?"

"I can write a letter and you can give it to the county magistrate. He will definitely investigate the matter carefully."

Xu Yuan's hand fell to her side and clenched into a fist. After a long while, she spoke: "The county magistrate is also one of the accomplices. The one who wanted to kill and silence the witnesses is the Song family of the Taiwei Mansion."

Hearing the words "Song family", Xie Xiaocheng's hands trembled slightly, "Xu Yuan, you really don't treat this general as an outsider."

After arresting Mr. Song, Xie Xiaocheng realized that this was Xu Yuan's plan.

But the people had already been arrested.

If he let him go, there was no telling how Song Ju would cause trouble for him.

Therefore, he had no choice but to continue to keep the person locked up.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan now wants him to continue dealing with the Song family.

Is it that Chunchun is treating him as a fool?

"General Xie is naturally not an outsider. To some extent, you and I are in the same boat."

Xu Yuan looked at Xie Xiaocheng calmly, "I am also one of the people who will be silenced, General Xie. My life is indeed worthless, but I will not watch my family die in vain because of me. If you help me today, I will remember this favor and help you transfer back to the capital someday. If General Xie refuses, then I will find other ways."

Xie Xiaocheng's gaze changed when he saw the words "transferred back to the capital".

He looked at Xuyuan, various emotions flashing across his eyes.

Finally, he said, "Wish, what do you know?"

"I know why you came to Sishui County, and I also know that you don't want to stay here at all. Thank you, General. I can help you return to the capital."

"Oh, if I could go back, I would have gone back long ago. How can a fifteen-year-old boy like you help me?"

"In the fifteenth year of Jiahe, the Crown Prince wrote to the emperor saying that General Xie Xiaocheng was brave and resourceful, but his talent was wasted in the Imperial Guards. At that time, the garrison commander of Sishui County died suddenly for no reason, and the Emperor asked the ministers in the court to select talented people and recommend one person to serve in Sishui County. As a result, General Xie became that capable person, from a close minister of the Emperor to the Imperial Guards. However, the garrison commander of Sishui County, who was intimidating to one side, thought that General Xie had been promoted, but in fact, he was demoted in secret. General Xie, am I telling the truth?"

The smile on Xie Xiaocheng's face froze slightly.

"General Xie was kind to everyone in the Imperial Guards and would not contact the prince. He did not know why he had offended the prince. After taking office in Sishui County, he thought about leaving Sishui County and returning to the capital, but wars occurred almost every year. Therefore, General Xie could only guard the desert, day after day, year after year."

Xu Yuan looked at Xie Xiaocheng and said the last sentence: "Now, General Xie, are you willing to believe me?"

Xie Xiaocheng was a military general.

Xu Yuan had heard the story of Xie Xiaocheng. On the one hand, when she was in the capital in her previous life, she had made friends with people from the Imperial Guards, and it was at that time that she learned martial arts.

On the other hand, she was too familiar with Xie Xiaocheng as the defender of Sishui County.

She learned about Xie Xiaocheng's experience when she heard others mention Xie Xiaocheng after she was drunk.

At that time, after the man finished telling the story of Xie Xiaocheng, he also warned her to stay away from the prince.

Because the prince is not as gentle and polite as rumored in the capital.

Not only is he petty, but he is also vindictive.

However, no one knows how Xie Xiaocheng offended the prince.

I’m afraid Xie Xiaocheng himself doesn’t know.

Therefore, Xu Yuan did not know the specific reason, but she knew that Xie Xiaocheng came to Sishui County because of the prince.

And the people who followed him all the way were from the Taiwei Mansion.

Therefore, Xie Xiaocheng is one of the few generals in Tianqi who will not stand on the side of the prince.

Not only that, he also has a grudge against the Taiwei Mansion.

Xie Xiaocheng's eyes flashed with anticipation, but after a moment, his reasoning returned, and he said, "I don't need Mr. Xu's help with my affairs."

The wish was silent.

She looked at Xie Xiaocheng, paused and asked, "Then why is General Xie willing to help me? You put forward the conditions. If I can do it, I will definitely not be vague."
