First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

"You don't know anything at all?" Wei Ling asked slowly with a faint gaze.

"General, I really didn't know there was such a thing in my house. Did I make a mistake?" Nangong Rui asked.

"Then where did you go the day before yesterday?" Wei Ling asked.

"I asked for a few days' leave from the army a few days ago." Nangong Rui said, "It should be recorded in the camp's registration. My sister is getting married, so I went home to help."

"But it's not recorded in the records." Wei Ling said.

"Impossible!" Nangong Rui was anxious, "I clearly asked for leave. And I saw the captain on duty record it for me."

Wei Ling glanced at He Chunlin, and He Chunlin understood and soon brought over the records of the camp gate.

Sure enough, there was no record of Nangong Rui asking for leave.

"Someone erased my record!" Nangong Rui said anxiously, "I really took leave at that time."

"Has anyone given you proof?" Wei Ling asked.

"Yes, Liu Chang can do it." Nangong Rui said, "He was the officer on duty that day."

"Do you know about Liu Chang's rebellion?" Wei Ling continued to ask.

Nangong Rui frowned, "Why did he rebel?"

He was brought directly from home. How could he know what was going on? Besides, Liu Chang started to cause trouble only after Nangong Rui was locked up.

"You'll have to ask him about that." Wei Ling raised his chin slightly, pointing at the things thrown in front of Nangong Rui, "It should be because of these. But these are gifts from him to you, he should have more for himself. When you were staying in Mangcheng, he was very good at flattering you, right?"

Liu Chang was promoted from Nangong Rui. Now Nangong Rui was demoted several levels by Wei Ling, so he was only a lieutenant, the same level as Liu Chang. Before Wei Ling left, he let Nangong Rui take charge of the affairs of the entire Mangcheng, giving him a relatively high official position.

Nangong Rui's face turned red instantly.

"General, I'm not that kind of person." Nangong Rui defended Wei Ling, "It's just that he did help a lot at that time."

Wei Ling looked at Nangong Rui and shook his head in disappointment.

"You, reflect on yourself. Think about how Liu Chang got to this position." Wei Ling looked at Nangong Rui with a bit of regret, "Do you really have a clear conscience?"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.

Wei Ling knew clearly what kind of character Nangong Rui was.

Nangong Rui's mind is actually very simple. And he is very kind to his family. In Wei Ling's opinion, such a person will not easily rebel against him.

In fact, when Wei Ling realized that the battle report was wrong, he had already sent people to investigate secretly.

Liu Chang was originally stationed in the Beishan Valley, where there were two Turkic attacks.

He became famous because he led his team to defeat the enemy with fewer troops. The battle report was very clear, and even Wei Ling, who was fighting outside at the time, had seen the report.

After knowing how powerful he was, Nangong Rui transferred him to guard Mai County. Because at that time, there were often Turks around Mai County, harassing everywhere, making the people there live in fear all day long.

It is strange to say that after Liu Chang arrived in Mai County, the Turks suddenly retreated and basically never went to Mai County again.

So Nangong Rui thought Liu Chang was a promising person and transferred him to Mangcheng to assist him.

So when Wei Ling was not in Mangcheng, Liu Chang was transferred to Mangcheng from the second year to become Nangong Rui's right-hand man.

Liu Chang's military position was also promoted by Nangong Rui.

Wei Ling also found out that before they returned, Liu Chang had asked to be transferred to patrol the city.

Generally speaking, patrolling Mangcheng is quite hard work.

After all, there are so many counties around Mangcheng, and you need to visit them one by one when patrolling the city.

The purpose of patrolling the city is to observe the city defenses of each county, check whether the items on each beacon tower are in place, and other trivial matters like these.

Once you go out on patrol, you won't be able to come back for ten days or half a month.

But when patrolling the city, he would bring a lot of soldiers with him.

I think Liu Chang had already started planning for the future at that time.

After all, when he went to patrol the city, he always had 1,500 soldiers on hand, and these people obeyed his orders.

Moreover, after returning from patrolling the city, he can take a short rest for three days. This will allow Liu Chang to avoid the investigation and inspection of Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng.

After Nangong Rui was demoted, his military rank was the same as Liu Chang's.

So when Liu Chang was on duty that day, Nangong Rui asked for leave from Liu Chang!

After Liu Chang learned that Han Weiping and the others were arrested, he tampered with the records of entering and leaving the military camp in order to use Nangong Rui's name to mobilize the guards in Mangcheng.

The things that Wei Ling showed Nangong Rui were indeed searched out from Nangong Rui's home.

Since Nangong Rui told Wei Ling that he had never seen these things, Wei Ling knew that he should probably ask Nangong Rui's family...

At first, Wei Ling thought that Nangong Rui was bribed by Liu Chang, so he became Liu Chang's accomplice.

But after he had talked with Nangong Rui just now, he found that Nangong Rui's expression of confusion and ignorance did not seem to be pretended.

Nangong Rui's family has been worried since Nangong Rui was arrested.

The house must be in chaos.

The gold and silver that had not been hidden in the house were searched out, and the house was surrounded by soldiers, obviously targeting them.

There is a huge quarrel in Nangong Rui's house now.

His brothers and sisters-in-law complained to Nangong Rui's parents, asking why they hid the gold and silver at home and why they didn't put them in a bank outside.

His parents are now at a loss.

Wei Ling is busy with his work right now, so he doesn't want to get entangled with Nangong Rui's family for the time being. He just has people surround their house and don't let anyone inside come out.

There are still many things to be done in the military camp. Liu Chang led his people to rebel, and the army needs to be checked one by one to see how many people are still involved with Liu Chang.

Since Wei Ling has already taken action, he must take this opportunity to completely eliminate the remaining soldiers in the army in one fell swoop.

He was in the military camp and was busy with this for two days.

Su Jixiang couldn't wait for Wei Ling to come back, so he could only go to see Wei Ling carrying a food box.

Wei Ling had just been cured of the poison when he led his troops to quell the rebellion. He had not been home for the past few days. Although he had someone send a message to Su Jixiang, Su Jixiang was still very worried about his health.

Seeing that he hadn't come back for two days, Su Jixiang simply went to the kitchen to make some cakes and brought them out to see Wei Ling.

Su Jixiang learned from Wei Zhong and Wei Dong that those who participated in the rebellion in the city had basically been eliminated, and a large number of people were imprisoned in the military training ground waiting for their fate.

It’s not Wei Ling’s fault that he doesn’t cherish his body. After all, there are so many things waiting for him to deal with.
