The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

Lu Zhiheng sneered, "Xie Huai'an, even at this point you're still thinking of trying to get information out of me."

"I wasn't trying to trick you into telling me anything."

Xie Huai'an clapped his hands, and a masked man walked in from outside the door.

Everyone inside the hall looked at the man in black and a mask.

Lu Zhiheng looked nervous when he saw this.

"Master!"

The masked man stood silently without saying a word.

Lu Zhiheng quickly realized, "You are not my master."

He looked at Xie Huai'an, "What did you do to my master?"

Xie Huai'an didn't answer him but instead asked, "The master you mentioned must be the one who told you about your origins and raised you, right?"

"So what if I am! Where is my master!?"

Lu Zhiheng was somewhat agitated.

"He ran away."

Lu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Aren't you curious where I found these clothes?

"I'm not curious. Do with me as you please." Lu Zhiheng seemed indifferent to life and death.

From the moment he was captured, Lu Zhiheng knew his fate was sealed; thankfully, his master escaped.

“A few days ago, the Duke of England suddenly disappeared, and I later found these in a secret room in the Duke of England’s study.”

Several officials from the Duke of England's residence and the Earl of Huian's residence were imprisoned at the same time, but a few days later the Duke of England disappeared without a trace. If he had nothing to hide, why would he run away?

Xie Huai'an spent half a day at the Duke of England's mansion, and finally discovered a secret room in the Duke of England's study.

The layout of the secret room and the items on the table were very similar to those of the Turks. After searching for a while, he found an envelope that had not been destroyed, as well as a person dressed in black and wearing a mask.

Lu Zhiheng was a smart man, and he quickly made contact.

“These are all evidence of the Duke of England’s treason.” Xie Huai’an took out some letters and tokens from his pocket.

"Judging from the pattern above, the Duke of England is very likely related to the Turks."

Emperor Mingde said angrily, "How could the old Duke of Ying be such a valiant man who shed so much blood for Daqing, and yet such a traitor who colludes with the enemy has emerged?"

"I suspect that the Duke of Ying is not the son of the old Duke of Ying, and is very likely like Lu Zhiheng," Xie Huai'an said, expressing his suspicion.

Emperor Mingde pondered for a moment before speaking, "Men, find Lu Sui at all costs!"

"Yes."

Lu Zhiheng suddenly found it hard to accept this fact.

If Lu Sui was related to the Turks, then what about him?

Who is he?

More than 20 years have passed, and now he is being told that the master who has doted on him since childhood is a Turk who has been using him from the beginning, and that he may even have killed his own parents.

Everyone in the main hall was quick-witted; what Lu Zhiheng had thought of, everyone else had also thought of.

I never imagined that a Turk could have been lurking in Daqing for so many years, and that he was even a high-ranking duke. It's fortunate that he was discovered this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lu Zhiheng looked up at him and asked, "What do you want to do by telling me all this?"

"I want you to tell me where Lu Sui might be hiding."

Xie Huai'an searched for a long time but couldn't find Lu Sui.

Lu Zhiheng scoffed, "Don't say I don't know, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

Xie Huai'an wasn't angry when he heard this. He had already guessed it. He wouldn't have believed it if Lu Zhiheng had told him Lu Sui's whereabouts so easily.

Emperor Mingde looked Lu Zhiheng up and down and said that every time he saw him, he felt a sense of familiarity. It turned out that he was the son of his twelfth brother.

“Child, you are a member of the Li family, a resident of Daqing. How can you collude with that thief?”

"Stop pretending. Lu Sui is no good, and neither are any of you." Lu Zhiheng's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the hall.

Lu Zhiheng glared at Jiang Shuwan and said fiercely, "My biggest regret is that I was soft-hearted and let you go. If I had another chance, I would never let you go."

Xie Huai'an quickly stepped forward and stood between the two, afraid that Lu Zhiheng's appearance would frighten Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan questioned, "You're too soft-hearted to let me go? I think it's not that you're soft-hearted, but that you just haven't had the right opportunity. You're the one who killed Tao Ya!"

"That woman actually wanted to overturn the case against the Tao family, and what's more, she actually found evidence. When my master found out, he ordered me to kill her."

Just as I was about to make my move, Gao found her. To avoid being exposed, I had no choice but to wait. Gao threatened her to drug you, but that woman would rather die than harm you. Jiang Shuwan, you're really lucky.

Not everyone is willing to give up their own life for someone else.

Jiang Shuwan's eyes involuntarily reddened.

Tao Ya's death remained a painful memory for her.

Emperor Mingde interrupted at this moment, "Guards, take Lu Zhiheng away."

Lu Zhiheng was unwillingly taken away.

Jiang Shuwan knelt on the ground.

Xie Huai'an saw her kneeling beside her.

"Your Majesty, I know that the most urgent task at present is to catch the traitor Lu Sui, but there are indeed suspicious aspects to the Tao family's case. I implore Your Majesty to reinvestigate this case."

Emperor Mingde looked at the two of them, then compromised and said, "Investigate, investigate, investigate! Investigate the Tao family and the Duke of Ying's mansion, investigate them all for me!"

In truth, Emperor Mingde didn't want to investigate these matters further, but with so many people in the hall, and having heard what was said, investigating or not investigating would not be good for his reputation.

As for Lu Zhiheng, no matter what, he had the blood of the Li family flowing in his veins, and Emperor Mingde felt a pang of pity for him.

Jiang Shuwan and Xie Huai'an left the palace together.

The two were riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

"Have I offended the Emperor today?"

"Don't think too much."

Xie Huai'an was indeed somewhat angry that she didn't give a direct answer.

Regardless of whether the Emperor is angry or not, Jiang Shuwan is determined to overturn the case against the Tao family. This is Tao Ya's wish, and she will definitely help her fulfill it.

"Where do you think Lu Sui could hide?"

The key person in the Tao family case is Lu Sui. If we can catch him and get his confession, the case can be easily overturned.

"We searched for several days but couldn't find any trace of him, but we are certain that he is still in the capital."

Xie Huai'an also wanted to capture Lu Sui as soon as possible.

The couple returned home with heavy hearts.

By the time they arrived at the general's mansion, it was already completely dark.

Xie Mingyu was waiting for Jiang Shuwan in Jiang Shuwan's room. When she saw her parents walking towards her, she happily ran towards them.

"Mother."

Xie Mingyu hugged Jiang Shuwan's legs and rubbed his face against her body.

The couple, who had been feeling tired, completely disappeared the moment they saw their daughter.

Jiang Shuwan pulled him into her arms, "Why are you being so affectionate again?"

"Yu'er misses her mother."

As if they had a mother-daughter connection, after Jiang Shuwan was taken away, Xie Mingyu kept looking for her. When she couldn't find her, she cried a lot. When Jiang Shuwan came back, she was so tired from crying that she fell asleep.
