Li Jiren knew that the tall and strong man was arranged by Emperor Zhaowen, but he had no intention of exposing it because it was meaningless.

General Zhao Qihua, who ordered the attack on Wuping County, insisted that it was his father who gave the order, and then committed suicide with a knife.

Once Zhao Qihua died, Prince Lin’s family was left with no way to defend themselves.

He, his younger brother and the second uncle tried every possible way to investigate, but they had no clue.

The father himself was not sure whether he had woken up during this period, let alone what had happened during this period.

After the incident in Wuping County, my father's old illness relapsed and he became depressed. If the Empress Dowager had not yet taken revenge, he would probably have died.

From the beginning of the plan to the massacre in Wuping County, more than four months passed, and they were completely unaware of it. No one would believe it if they told others about it.

But he knew his father too well. Even if he was sick and unconscious, he would never allow people to massacre ordinary people.

But my father’s current situation cannot be known to outsiders.

Li Jiren ignored the discussion and raised his voice again, "There are many suspicious points in what happened that day. My Lin Palace has been investigating the real culprit behind this."

The tall man laughed.

"I originally thought that the men of Prince Lin's Mansion were all daring and responsible. I never imagined that they would be so shameless, committing such evil deeds and trying to get away with it by saying there were many doubts."

"You bastard, my nephew says it's not true..."

Prince Qing was so angry at this man that he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight him.

Li Jiren stopped him: "Second Uncle, let me finish."

"If the matter of Wuping County is ever confirmed to be an order from my father or my two brothers, I, Li Jiren, will submit to death as a token of my gratitude to the world."

The crowd was in an uproar. No one expected Li Jiren to say that.

Prince Qing was so angry that he beat and scolded Li Jiren.

"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? What's with all this talk about asking for your own death? These ungrateful bastards, do they deserve it?"

Li Jixin's eyes also turned red: "Brother, don't talk nonsense! Don't say that we didn't do it. Even if we did, I will be the one to atone for it. I, Li Jixin..."

"Shut up!" Li Jiren yelled at Li Jixin.

"If my father is not here, I will lead the Jiyang Army. All the right and wrong, merits and demerits will be on me alone. Ji Xin, what you need to do now is to defeat all those who challenge you."

Li Jixin wiped away his tears, tried hard to control his pain and anger, and nodded to Li Jiren.

Li Jiren's words temporarily quieted down those who had followed the trend in blaming Prince Lin.

But the man still refused to give in.

"There's no need for proof for something like this. You were the ones who did it in the first place. If outsiders can't produce evidence for the rest of their lives, then you'll get away with it forever."

"Three years. If I still can't find evidence proving the innocence of Prince Lin's Mansion within three years, I, Li Jiren, will be waiting here with my arms tied. I will take revenge, I will avenge my grudges. Even if you cut me into pieces, I will never regret it."

Prince Qing's lips were trembling. How could it be so easy to find evidence? They had tried everything over the past year but had made no progress.

Li Chonglin kept pulling Li Jiren's sleeve and crying, asking Li Jiren to stop talking.

Li Jixin stared coldly at the man who was causing trouble. His elder brother always kept his word, and since he had promised, he would definitely do it.

But if anyone really dared to hurt his elder brother, even if his father and elder brother killed him afterwards, he would definitely destroy Luocheng.

Because of Li Jiren's words, the crowd fell completely silent.

Even though he didn't swear what would happen if he couldn't do it, everyone believed him without any reason and believed that he would definitely do what he said.

Lu Fugui couldn't bear to watch any longer and left in a hurry.

Whenever he thought about Li Jiren getting into trouble, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife.

Han Qingyun looked at Lu Fugui's leaving back and fell into deep thought.

"Uncle, is what he said true? It's not an order to massacre the city issued by Prince Lin's Mansion, right?" Lu Changping's tone was full of anticipation.

"I do not know."

Han Qingyun really didn't know. He had not personally experienced the massacre, nor had he had any contact with Prince Lin's family.

All his knowledge of Prince Lin's family came from that novel.

Thanks to his original body's photographic memory, he remembered all the words in the novel clearly.

The original book clearly pointed out through the mouth of Zhao Qihua, the main general who attacked Wuping County, that Prince Lin was dissatisfied with the late emperor's passing of the throne to Prince An, and that Jiyang suffered a series of natural disasters but the court failed to provide disaster relief, so Prince Lin rebelled.

When Lin Pingyuan went to investigate the situation in Wuping County, he was extremely angry when he saw the city covered in blood.

He led 500 vanguard troops and fought with King Lin and others who had just arrived in Wuping County. His vanguard troops were either killed or injured.

Lin Pingyuan cursed King Lin for his cruelty and cold-bloodedness, and was shot in the right shoulder by Li Jiren. Afterwards, Lin Pingyuan fled to Luocheng to report the news.

However, during the fight, neither side mentioned the reason for the fight. It was Lin Pingyuan who attacked Prince Lin and his entourage first, and then Li Jiren led his men to fight back.

Then, the prefectures surrounding Wuping County surrendered to Prince Lin one after another. Prince Lin then took all the food from these prefectures back to Jiyang and launched another war three years later...

Han Qingyun carefully recalled the plot, but unfortunately the original book had too little description about King Lin and others. They almost never appeared in person and lived in the words of others.

wrong!

Han Qingyun suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

Years ago, Lu Fugui received news from Shangyang Prefecture that after the Jiyang Army took over Wuping County, there was no further movement. Apart from transporting tax grain from several prefectures to Jiyang, they did not harm the people at all.

They didn't really believe this news, so Lu Fugui never went to Shangyang Prefecture.

But when Lu Fugui went to Zhengcheng last time, he also heard that the Jiyang army did not plunder the people's food to feed the Jiyang people as they thought, nor did they forcibly conscript soldiers to supplement the Jiyang army.

It can be said that apart from the tax grain that should have been paid to the court being taken away by the Jiyang Army, there was almost no other change.

This is inconsistent with the description in the original book.

In addition, the plot of this part of the original book is all news from Chen Su, the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture.

Chen Su was actually Emperor Zhaowen's uncle, and he was irreconcilable with Prince Lin.

In ancient times, it was difficult to transmit information, and many pieces of news changed their meaning as they were passed on. What was mentioned in the book might not be the truth.

Also, the original book says that Ji Yang rested for three years, which may not be true.

It is said that the disaster in Jiyang was alleviated last year and the harvest was better than in previous years.

Add to that the taxes and grain from several prefectures, and Ji Yang doesn't need to rest for so long.

Moreover, Li Jiren led his troops to attack the Fengyuan Dynasty at the end of last year, but they only took away the military rations they had for the journey to and from Luocheng, and the rest were distributed to the people of Fengyuan.

Li Jiren had previously robbed the State of Yan for food. If the people of Jiyang were still short of food, it was impossible for Li Jiren not to bring the food back to Jiyang.

At least Ji Yang’s current food supply is enough to last until this year’s harvest.

Then the three years mentioned in the original book may be due to other reasons.

What is the reason?

Han Qingyun tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his brain working rapidly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps Li Jixin's purpose in looking for Doctor Ye was not for Princess Lin.

Princess Lin is just weak, but her life is not in danger. Li Jixin took such a big risk, most likely for Prince Lin.

Prince Lin is ill, and his condition is very serious, but because of Prince Lin's special status, his condition cannot be known to outsiders.

This can explain why Li Jiren, Li Jixin and Prince Qing all had expressions of uncontrollable pain when they mentioned Prince Lin.

In the original book, there was no story about Li Jiren and his brothers going to Beijing. I don’t know what caused the plot change this time.

However, Doctor Ye is often not in Luocheng. In the original book, it is possible that someone from Prince Lin’s Mansion found Doctor Ye somewhere else.

And now, because of Xiaoxi, Doctor Ye has basically not left Luocheng this year. Perhaps this is the reason why Li Jixin took the risk to go to Beijing.

The first time Xiaoxi met Li Jixin was at Doctor Ye’s house.

True and false, false and true, it now seems that the description in the original book may not be reliable.

However, with the abilities of Prince Yilin and the Li Jiren brothers, how could they be completely unaware of such a big thing?

There is also the manor where the Ji Yang army stayed that day. Since it belongs to the Qi family, the maternal family of King Lin, it is even more unreasonable to say that King Lin was unaware of it.

Is it possible that Li Jiren lied?

Or is it that the person behind this is so powerful that he can conceal the truth right under King Lin's nose?

Han Qingyun figured out some problems, but was stumped by new ones...
