The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 424 The Mystery Behind

The greatest benefit is to keep my family safe.

This is also the reason why Fang Youming must stay with General Duan.

Even if he didn't do that, given the young general's character, he would definitely help the Fang family.

But kindness will always wear away. If you want more, you have to stay by his side.

After two days without rest, Fang Youming dragged his tired body back to his residence.

When I got back, the yard was empty, and my mother and brother were not there.

He returned to the house, changed his clothes and went to rest.

After closing his eyes, he was still reviewing what had happened before in his mind.

Before the Fang family fell into trouble, his grandfather worked in the Ministry of Works and was later promoted to the prefect of Anping County in Nanyang, where he assisted the governor of Nanyang in building river dams.

The construction took two years, and the dam that was finally built couldn't even withstand the first rain.

That year, heavy rain eroded the dam and it was filled with water. It broke through the bank late one night and flooded countless villages downstream.

Memories came flooding back, and Fang Youming couldn't help but curl up.

In the Nanyang flood case, 200,000 silver coins for disaster relief disappeared, and the Fang family was plagued by inextricable grievances.

The Fang family was thrown into jail, and all kinds of stigma followed.

One thing after another, they wanted to crush the entire Fang family.

The Fang family was used as a scapegoat.

The two hundred thousand taels of disaster relief silver could not be found, and the evidence of the Fang family's guilt could not be established. Your Majesty showed mercy and commuted the death penalty to exile.

Slowly, he fell asleep and snored soundly, which was a rare occurrence for him.

He was sleeping soundly here, while Kang Ge'er was lost in thought as he looked at the confession on the other side.

As he expected, among the group of people who killed him were people from the side of the high priest Mo Sheng.

Before, he happened to meet Princess Mo Sheng in Nanyang and "by the way" sent her to Da Chu.

Unexpectedly, the people who were chasing Princess Mo Sheng found his trace and followed the clues to find him.

During that time, he did a lot of "good things" in Mo Sheng, which caused the conflict between the high priest and the city lords to become increasingly serious.

Now that his whereabouts were discovered, the two of them joined forces and began to hunt him down.

This is not a national hatred, but a personal grudge.

Kang Ge'er took a lot of blame, and now Mo Sheng said that he was the one who kidnapped the princess. King Mo Sheng was shocked and angry, and blamed the high priest for not taking good care of the princess.

So the high priest's men chased him like mad dogs.

Kang Ge'er just felt that King Mo Sheng was really not a simple person. It was obviously him who let his own sister go, but he could still turn the tables and blame him.

The high priest didn’t know whether he believed it or not, but now Mo Sheng urgently needed King Mo Sheng as a mascot, so he couldn’t do anything to him.

In the past, he held Princess Mo Sheng hostage to King Mo Sheng.

Now that the princess is gone, his control over King Mo Sheng is much less.

For example, now the high priest still wants to send troops, but is opposed by King Mo Sheng and the three city lords.

The situation in Mo Sheng was at a stalemate, and the army of Da Chu also needed to rest and recuperate.

Now, the only person targeted is Brother Kang who is traveling in Mo Sheng Country.

Kang Ge'er found something related to Da Chu in Mo Sheng, which was vaguely related to the royal family, so he had to investigate further.

When he had some idea of ​​what was going on and was thinking of coming back to report the news to His Majesty, a fierce pursuit ensued behind him.

He had escaped death several times in Mo Sheng, and only after arriving at the Mu family did he relax a little. He didn't expect that he would suffer a big disaster in the end.

Looking at the thing in his hand, Kang Ge'er frowned fiercely.

He didn't expect that there was a traitor around him.

Those places and people that could be contacted were given to him by His Majesty. When he was injured, he doubted many people, but he never doubted these people given to him by His Majesty.

Your Majesty is collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country?

Kang Ge'er thought about it and was still in the mood to pull strings in his mind.

It's not His Majesty. Combined with the information he had received before, it is not difficult to guess that the enemy is hiding in the royal family.

In particular, he saw from the confession that they had received two letters during the mission to assassinate him.

One letter came from the High Priest Mo Sheng, and the other came from Da Chu.

They don't know who it is exactly.

"We interrogated them for a long time and used all kinds of torture instruments, but they still wouldn't say anything. It seems they really don't know who sent them the letter. However, they did mention that whenever they receive a letter from here, they must follow the instructions in it."

"Are they from Mo Sheng?"

Bai Yi nodded, "Yes, but they have Chu blood and are the High Priest's most loyal subordinates."

This is a bit strange. The high priest of Mo Sheng has a close relationship with Da Chu.

"Is that letter still there?"

Kang Ge'er looked at Bai Yi, and Bai Yi shook his head.

"They burned it when they saw the letter."

"tsk"

This was a bit tricky. Kang Ge'er closed his eyes and his mind started spinning.

If your brother were here, he would definitely be able to come up with a solution because he is smart.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.

"Hey, Bai Yi, how can they be sure whether the letter is true?"

The two looked at each other and immediately understood.

Bai Yi excitedly went underground again and didn't come back until a long time later.

"Fortunately, I managed to retain my breath, otherwise I would have been wasted."

Bai Yi stepped forward and whispered something in Kang Ge'er's ear, and Kang Ge'er's expression became more serious.

The doubts in my heart are growing heavier.

He stood up and stood by the window. The gloomy sky was like a looming monster.

"Young General, when are you going to show up?"

The drizzle fell and splashed on his hands.

"Mo Sheng is now controlled by King Mo Sheng and the three city lords, who hold half of the power and are unable to fight against Da Chu."

Speaking of this, a hint of doubt flashed through Kang Ge'er's mind.

Regardless of whether Mo Sheng had previously initiated a war, he was no match for the Chu. He had once mentioned in a letter to His Majesty whether the high priest had any grudge against the royal family.

But even if he has a grudge, what is he trying to achieve when he faces a losing situation?

"The battlefield doesn't need me. We have General Qin and the others. If I die, I can do a lot of things and won't be trapped in the border town."

He wiped the water off his hands with a handkerchief. "Tonight, go to the military camp and find Luo Zhen."

"But your injury..."

Kang Ge'er grabbed a sand apple and chewed it. "My injury is like nothing. Stop talking nonsense. Are you going or not? If not, I'll find you..."

"Go, go, I'll go."

Bai Yi took over the conversation without stopping.

He has been feeling very depressed these days, hiding in the city. It would be nice to go out for some fresh air at night.

"The previous contact point..."

"Don't contact anyone. Even His Majesty's people have a mole among them. We have to be careful of others as well."

Bai Yi nodded and spoke hesitantly.

"That's General Luo..."

Kang Ge'er blew the fruit core in his mouth and it fell into the flower bed outside the window.

Some quality, but not much.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, he won't."

Seeing this, Bai Yi said no more and just followed his master's orders.

The only people who knew about the young general were General Luo and General Qin. The news could only have been leaked by one of these two people.

We can confirm it after meeting General Luo in the evening.

Even if the traitor was General Luo, Bai Yi felt ruthless and immediately killed him.
