Chapter 36 Anyone who betrays me will be killed.

Shen Shuyi had heard about this a long time ago in his previous life. After all, one hundred thousand soldiers meant one hundred thousand families.

I wonder how much blood and tears of the people must have been shed for those 100,000 lives.

No one is unaware of that battle, which was later known as the Lushan Battle that made people shudder.

But it was not until she married Xiao Tingshan and came into contact with more and more court affairs that she gradually discovered that Jiang Yanhu's death was not that simple.

The more time passed, the more certain she became that Jiang Yanhu was just a scapegoat.

She was determined to find out the truth and vindicate this general who had died on the battlefield, but unfortunately, her power was too weak.

The power involved behind the scenes was complicated and intricate. She investigated for a long time but only found some clues and could not find the key evidence.

She originally thought that after Xiao Tingshan became the crown prince, she could find an opportunity to bring up the matter again.

But unexpectedly, he had already separated from her, or he had always been on guard against her, so how could he listen to her again?

Later on, her health deteriorated and she could no longer take care of herself, so how could she have this opportunity again?

Shen Shuyi withdrew his thoughts, turned to look at the boy in front of him, and said slowly: "Are you his son?"

In her previous life, she knew Jiang Li six years later.

By then, the young man's appearance had been disfigured, he was missing an arm, and had a face covered with scars. He slaughtered the entire family of General Xuan Ce's mansion.

At this point, his identity was revealed and he became a wanted criminal by the imperial court, with his portrait posted all over the country.

But he had fought his way out of the encirclement on his own, so how could he escape the imperial court's pursuit?

Not long after, Jiang Li, covered in blood, was surrounded on the shore.

But he was still brave enough and jumped into the rolling waves. His life or death is unknown since then.

The imperial court had been issuing a wanted notice for a long time, but later, there was no news about him.

Shen Shuyi also sent people to look for him, but unfortunately, he had become the target of public criticism at that time and would not trust anyone easily. Until later, she was unable to find any trace of him, let alone know whether he was alive or dead.

Unexpectedly, the fate that was not fulfilled in the previous life would meet in this life.

Jiang Li's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he looked directly at Shen Shuyi and said slowly: "Who are you?"

Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Haven't you checked it out? I am the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and the second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Shuyi."

Perhaps it was because the girl's eyes were too clear and clean, as cold as a blue ocean. Jiang Li wanted to say something else, but didn't know what to say.

Shen Shuyi said softly: "You work for me, and I will help your father redress his wrongdoing."

Jiang Li looked at her in astonishment. He probably never expected that she would say such a thing.

But she was clearly just a skinny girl who could barely protect herself...

In fact, she is not even as old as Jiang Lian.

But he didn't see any joke in her eyes. Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes were calm, composed, and determined, yet they also carried the peace of someone who saw through the world.

Jiang Li had never seen such beautiful eyes. These eyes seemed to contain all the beauty in the world, and they sparkled like the purest gems in the dark night.

Although it is a pale and thin face, these eyes have the magic that can lead people to fall. The eye shape is smooth and clean, and the tail of the eye is slightly raised, which brings out a bit of charm, but also extremely cold. Just one glance makes people feel that the spring flowers, autumn moon, and the colorful light are not as good as the girl's eyes.

Jiang Li hurriedly avoided his sight and asked in a deep voice: "You believe he is innocent? Why?"

Shen Shuyi whispered, "He has everything in Daqian, power, fame, wealth, status. How stupid must he be to dig his own grave and collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"

This sentence made Jiang Li's eyes red again: "But no one believes it!"

Shen Shuyi shook his head: "It's not that everyone doesn't believe it, it's that some people don't want others to believe it."

The exact reason for Jiang Yanhu's death is still unknown, but Shen Shuyi believes that Emperor Qianwu, who has calmed down, may have had some doubts.

However, with the death of 100,000 soldiers and the disastrous defeat of the Qian Kingdom, someone had to be brought forward to quickly quell the public anger. As an emperor, his words were law and he would not easily stand up and admit his mistakes.

What's more, in the eyes of the emperor, this may not be a mistake.

After all, many years have passed and no one has been able to produce conclusive evidence.

"How did you recognize me?" Jiang Li asked in a deep voice.

Seven years ago, his family was destroyed and his home was confiscated when he was only nine years old. Now, seven years have passed and his appearance has changed a lot.

Plus, he had deliberately tanned his complexion and changed his temperament, so how could she recognize him?

Shen Shuyi said softly: "Maybe he once met your father."

When Shen Shuyi was young, he had indeed seen Jiang Yanhu from afar at a palace banquet. He was a hot-blooded man with an untidy bearded face. His skin was rough and dark from the wind and frost on the border. He was tall, strong and careless. When he drank, he was even more domineering, with the spirit of a common man who would splatter blood every five steps if he was angry.

Compared to Jiang Yanhu's roughness, Jiang Li is actually much more delicate. He probably looks more like his mother, but he still has the shadow of Jiang Yanhu in him.

What's more, he is now more like he was in his previous life when he was wanted.

After all, when a boy grows up and becomes a man, his features will always be more similar than when he was a child.

Jiang Li asked again: "But why should I believe you?"

Shen Shuyi looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said softly, "Although it has been many years, you will always be noticed if you go in and out of the capital with this face. If you work for me, I can also walk around the capital. Besides, it is easier for me to get information from the perspective of a female relative than for you to do many things."

Jiang Li was silent.

Shen Shuyi said again: "Jiang Li, I will not restrict your freedom, but you must know that your father's death is not as simple as it seems. It is too difficult for you to do it alone."

If we say that before, Shen Shuyi had his eyes on him because he had no one else to use.

Now, I feel a love and compassion for talent.

She didn't want such a son of a general to end up dying tragically in the river, and she didn't want him to sacrifice his entire life just for justice.

A man of iron will like Jiang Yanhu would not want to see this scene.

"If you want revenge, you must take it slow and conserve your energy. It will be difficult to accomplish anything just by relying on youthful vigor and passion. The Jiang family used all their strength to protect you, so they would not want to see you die alone."

Thinking of his family members in heaven, Jiang Li clenched his hands at his sides into fists, clenched his teeth, and lowered his eyes to hide the tears.

They naturally demanded justice, but it should not be in a way that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts their own eight hundred.

After a long time, Jiang Li opened his eyes again, his gaze fell on Shen Shuyi, and his voice was hoarse: "What do you want?"

The corners of Shen Shuyi's lips slightly raised, and his almond eyes were cold.

"You have your mortal enemy, and I have my own blood feud. As a human being, how can I live in a corner? Although I am a woman, I naturally have some blood. Anyone who betrays me will be killed."
