The general and I form a pair

"There is no proof, why do you take people into custody? Just rely on your two little eunuchs talking nonsense?" Gu Yan retorted unceremoniously.

"Young General Gu has nothing to prove, so why do you say that what the two young eunuchs said is not the truth?" Li Duan said.

"If you want to take Ah Si into custody, you should also take this general into custody."

"The major general was joking. If His Highness really takes you into custody, the Eldest Princess will probably tear down His Highness's mansion."

"Okay, stop arguing. A Yan, this man named Ah Si will be handed over to you to take care of him. Before the matter is investigated clearly, don't ask anyone to leave at will."

"Also, this matter will be investigated by the second child and the sixth child. Remember, the investigation must be done in private, and no publicity is required. When you leave the palace gate, it will be assumed that nothing has happened. Tomorrow, the martial arts competition in Shangqing Garden will be held as usual."

Emperor Chengkang had spoken, but the two princes couldn't say anything more.

Ah Qing could understand Cheng Kangdi's move, after all, it was not a good thing to die at his birthday banquet.

However, Master Wuming had a very close personal relationship with Emperor Chengkang, and he had a general understanding of people. At this time, he proposed to take him away, which was to save Emperor Chengkang's face, and expressed his unwillingness to expand the situation.

As for the investigation of the second prince and the sixth prince, it is even more intriguing.

Ah Qing suddenly smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

The two had already left the palace at this time, and were heading to the General's Mansion in a carriage.Without the depression in the palace, Ah Qing's mind suddenly became lively at this moment.

"I laughed at the second prince and the sixth prince who dug a hole and waited for others to jump. I'm afraid they would bury themselves in the end."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Ah Qing rubbed her chin, and said after deliberation: "Young General, do you think Master Wuming knew that something would happen to Monk Jing'an?"

After being silent for a while, Gu Yan said: "Five years ago, Henan was hit by floods, and it was the former prince who presided over the relief."

"The first prince? Floods in Henan?" Ah Qing's ears twitched instantly.

The Wuming master said that he was the Jing'an monk who was rescued in the Henan area, and it was also five years ago...

"Back then, although the battle between Daliang and Daqi was tied, the two sides signed a peace agreement and the war has ceased since then. However, because the prince misjudged the situation of the war, my father was isolated and helpless, and Ji Kang was unable to rescue him, which almost led to a big war. Disaster. Therefore, the first prince feels guilty."

"And because of General Ming Yi's great service, the Second Prince's supporters used this incident to imply that the Holy Majesty would abolish the Prince, otherwise they would be sorry for the soldiers who died tragically at the border."

"However, the crown prince has both ability and virtue, and he is a generous man. Most of the courtiers in the court have hearts for the crown prince, and they all remonstrate with him. This is the only way to keep the position of crown prince."

"It also coincided with the flood in Henan, so the former prince invited him to go to Henan for disaster relief, which was a crime. However, the relief food was eroded by the rain and moldy, and it was difficult to mobilize so much food for a while. The officials at the bottom tried to muddle through without the permission of the former prince. Give the moldy rice to the common people."

"The common people experienced disasters, became weak, and ate moldy rice grains, causing many deaths. This incident triggered riots among the people, causing countless deaths and injuries."

"The former prince was also abolished."

"Oh, the prince's luck is indeed extremely bad. However, it is really timely for the food to be destroyed." Ah Qing put his hands into his sleeves and sucked his mouth.

"In the case of Henan's disaster relief back then, apart from the abolition of the crown prince, countless officials in Henan were convicted. Some were beheaded everywhere, and some were exiled. For a while, people were panicked." Gu Yan said leisurely.

"Relief food is the most important thing. The first prince must have sent heavy troops to guard it. How could it be destroyed so easily?" Ah Qing asked.

"The first prince arrived in Ancheng first, and the grain transportation team followed. But unexpectedly, the rainstorm suddenly hit, and the road to Ancheng landslides, making it difficult to pass. The grain transportation team withdrew to Fengxian County and hoarded the grain in the Fengxian granary. What to do, The embankment that had been repaired suddenly burst, and the river flooded back, and the water was swift and violent."

"Feng County is low-lying. As soon as the water came up, the people guarding the embankment retreated in shock. The food transportation team has sent people to the road to Tong'an City. At this time, fearing that the food will be lost, they have sent out troops to stop the returning soldiers. , the troops guarding the granary were stretched. In desperation, only a very small part of the grain was taken away."

"The rest of the grain placed at the bottom was all flooded, but fortunately the grain on the upper layer was still dry."

"The weather turned fine on the second day. Taking advantage of the few days of the road, the wet grains were dried up in various ways, but when they were transported to Ancheng, they were covered with mold."

"More and more disaster victims gathered outside the city. The road was delayed for a few days. The victims showed signs of death. It was the prince who tried to find ways to stabilize the victims. We just waited for the food to arrive. Officials also know that if there is no more food, there will be disasters." But now there are not many good grains, so I mixed moldy grains with good grains, unexpectedly..."

Ah Qing shook his head and sighed: "So many coincidences are connected together, but it is not a coincidence."

"But the big mistake has been made, and the prince will be abolished."

"That's right. In order to save their lives, those officials must have blamed the crown prince for all their faults. The crown prince's crime will be added to the crime. The crime is unforgivable. This child is also unlucky." Ah Qing said.

"But those old ministers in the court are all veterans. This kind of matter related to the abolition of the state reserve will definitely be fought to the end. I really don't believe such a big matter. There is nothing tricky about it."

Gu Yan shook his head: "At that time, the crown prince had already lost power, and the Ji family was reviled. My father handed over the military power, and since then the general's mansion has no longer meddled in the affairs of the court. But the second prince has the support of the Ming family, and the sixth prince pushes him away. In the last one, people in the court are used to meeting with the wind to make the rudder. Even if there are ministers who are loyal to the prince to remonstrate, it will not help."

"Henan officials have been sacked, and they have the same tone. After the execution, they will die and walk away. It is even more difficult to try again. After so many years, those old officials have been running around, but there is still no progress. "

Ah Qing rested her chin and said disconsolately: "There are scheming schemes, and in the end it is the innocent people who will suffer."

"But having said that, you suddenly mentioned the flood in Henan. Could it be that you suspect that Monk Jing'an has something to do with what happened back then?"

"It's what you said. If too many coincidences are put together, it is not a coincidence. Combined with what Master Wuming said, five years ago, there was only such a big event in Henan. Of course, this is just a guess. And Monk Jing'an ,died."

Ah Qing rolled his eyes, and suddenly grabbed Gu Yan's hand: "Major General, let's go to find the corpse at night!"

Gu Yan tore off the cloth strips that were blindfolded, and Ah Qing could clearly see stars shining in his originally dead eyes, which made people intoxicated.

He looked at Ah Qing with a faint smile: "Okay!"

bang-

The carriage stopped abruptly, Ah Qing couldn't hold back, and fell directly into Gu Yan's arms.If there seemed to be nothing, the corner of his lips swept across his neck, and Gu Yan's brain buzzed.

Holding Ah Qing's arm, he tightened it even more.After a while, Gu Yan regained his sanity and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong Gu Ting?"

"No, it's all right, the wheel is stuck on a rock."

Gu Ting tightly clenched the rein, cursing incessantly, "You little elf, dead elf, dare to rob the young general from Master Qing! The elf, the elf, the elf..."

Gu Ping glared at him several times, but this idiot was immersed in his own world, completely bewildered.

The clear and light scent of medicine penetrated into the tip of Ah Qing's nose, making him feel itchy inexplicably.Gu Yan was talking to Gu Ping who was driving outside.

Ah Qing looked at his beautifully lined chin, and unexpectedly leaned up to him, and touched it with his lips like a superficial touch.

Score at the touch of a button.

He licked his lips, and there was a hint of sweetness on his lips.His ears were slightly stained with a blush.

"Well, Major General, you can let go." Ah Qing said sullenly.

Gu Yan let go of the hand that imprisoned him, resumed a straight sitting posture, stared ahead, and stopped talking.

Ah Qing leaned against the carriage with a little disappointment, thinking, it's just acting.

"Gu Ting, go to Huguo Temple."

Gu Ting wondered: "Major General, Huguo Temple is in Xishan, and the city gates are under martial law at this time, how do we get out?"

----

Ah Qing quickly changed into the uniform of the patrolling guard, followed Gu Yan, and sneaked into the guard.Gu Ting had no choice but to follow the two as cover.

The inner city was strictly guarded, but after entering the outer city, the guards relaxed a lot.

After leaving the outer city, Gu Yan knocked on the door of a farmhouse in a familiar manner, very rhythmically.Hearing the movement, the farmer hurriedly asked, "But the Major General?"

"Uncle Fu, two horses." Gu Yan said.

Ah Qing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with all of this, as if such a thing had happened many times before.

This Uncle Fu also looks very kind.

"Uncle Fu, this is Ah Qing."

When Uncle Fu heard this, he was surprised at first, but in an instant, he returned to his smile.

"I have seen Master Qing."

But Ah Qing was on the spot.

What is this guy talking about?

By the time he reacted, the man was already on the horse.

He struggled a little, and asked cautiously: "Major General, didn't you forbid my name to be Ah Qing? Then why did you introduce me like that?"

Gu Yan replied calmly: "Slip of tongue."

Ah Qing let out an 'oh', and closed her cloak.

That's right, it seems that he has a good relationship with that Uncle Fu, and that Uncle Fu must also know Xue Qing.Maybe he thought of that person just now.

That's why I accidentally called the wrong name.

But this Uncle Fu is much more refined than that idiot Gu Ting.The major general said his name was 'Ah Ching', but he called him 'Master Qing' one by one.

If it was Gu Ting, he would have to jump again, and he would call him a 'little fairy' by the way.

The gap.

Riding the night wind, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes rattling, Ah Qing's mood instantly widened a lot.

He thought to himself, could it be that he had ridden a horse before?The major general has been on the battlefield, so his equestrian skills are naturally excellent, but compared with him, he is not far behind.

Moreover, the feeling of riding a horse is very familiar to him, and he even has a kind of nostalgia.

Thoughts were flying, and he had already arrived at the foot of Lingcui Peak in Xishan.The two got off their horses, hid the horses in the woods, and walked to Huguo Temple.

Seeing Ah Qing's pale face, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel sad: "Are you tired?"

Ah Qing was indeed a little tired, but thinking of what he was going to do tonight, Ah Qing was very energetic, so being a little tired was nothing.

Seeing the excitement in his eyes, Gu Yan smiled knowingly, and slowed down his pace again.

"Lightning recognizes the master, and never allows others to ride."

A sudden sentence made Ah Qing feel bewildered.

"What lightning?"

Gu Yanhui pointed at Lin Zi, and the horse was no longer visible at this time.

"The horse you came on was Lightning."
