88. Ridiculous misfortune Confession

"Where do you come from?" Xisu asked.

"Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion." Chi Lin said.

Xisu nodded and said: "As I expected. How is it?"

"No progress." Chi Lin shook his head in frustration.

"What do Captain Chi think?" Xi Su asked.

"It is impossible for Ziyu to do such a thing. There must be twists and turns in it. I will definitely find out the truth." Chi Lin said.

"What if he really did it?" Xisu said.

"Impossible!" Chi Lin said flatly.

"You..." Xisu stood up and pulled Chi Lin over, patted his shoulder and smiled, but said no more.

"His Royal Highness, what can I do if you are here?" Chi Lin asked.

"Yes." Xisu nodded and said, "Let's go horseback riding with me."

"Okay." Chi Lin said.

Chi Lin took his tall brown horse from the stable and headed out of the city with Xisu.

After the second watch, Emperor Yongping arrived at Dezhuang Palace.

After taking off the crown, undressing the dragon robe, and before taking a break for a cup of tea, Chang Fu suddenly hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, express report from Zhuose City!"

After that, he handed over a copy of the Sujin Army Newspaper.

Emperor Yongping took Su Jin and his heart immediately "thumped".

Zhuo Se City was the place where he fought against Chi Yue.

Sujin can only be used when the general dies.

Emperor Yongping hurriedly unfolded the plain brocade, and sure enough, "The general of the Huanyue Kingdom's army entrusted him with a letter of grace. After fighting the enemy for seven days, he was seriously injured and died. The whole army mourned..." A shocking line of words jumped into view.

Feng Zhien was the commander-in-chief of the Chi-Vietnam War, but he was suddenly killed in battle and the situation was critical.

"Summon General Meng Kuang into the palace immediately!" Emperor Yongping said to Chang Fu.

Rearrange the crown and sash, put on the dragon robe again, and immediately go to Chongqing Hall.

Meng Kuang paid an audience all night, and was ordered to mobilize an army of 120,000 troops and rush to Zhuose City in Yizhou.

Qiao Lingyu was seriously ill and was bedridden and could not accompany the army.

Emperor Yongping saw him off at the triumphal platform of Dingping Campus.

"General Meng, we have a long journey to go. I hope you will succeed and return to court as soon as possible." Emperor Yongping said this and drank the farewell wine.

"I will definitely pacify Chiyue when I go here to repay your kindness." Meng Kuang was ambitious, drank the marching wine, mounted his horse and resigned.

Banners were displayed, spears and halberds were shining coldly, and the army was marching south in mighty force.

After the third watch, You Jue came to Xiao Mansion.

Among the three brothers of the Xiao family, Xiao Hengfeng and Xiao Hengqi were both appointed civil officials, one was granted the title of Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other was granted the title of Privy Councilor of Wen Dian.

Xiao Hengqi still has some cultivation skills, but Xiao Hengfeng has no interest in Qi Yun cultivation at all.

It would be reluctant to say that Xiao Hengfeng was responsible for Songyin's corpse burial case, but it would be much more logical to say that it was Xiao Hengnian, the only general of the Xiao family.

Hu Sixi confessed that it was Xiao Hengfeng who actually paid for the murder, so it is reasonable for Xiao Hengqi to take the blame for him in order to protect his brother.

As the eldest brother, Xiao Hengnian could kill an inconspicuous singing girl for Xiao Hengfeng.

So what is the origin of all this?

The person who knows the most is probably the instigator Xiao Hengfeng.

When You Jue found Xiao Hengfeng, he was not asleep, but in a study with dim candlelight.

You Jue raised his hand, and a ray of white light extinguished the candle.

"Who?" Xiao Hengfeng was startled.

You Jue pressed the ape stick against Xiao Hengfeng's throat: "You are the one who really killed Meng Fuman!"

Xiao Hengfeng was so frightened that he suddenly heard these words while someone was holding his throat in the dark.

"Tell me, why did you kill Meng Fuman?" You Jue asked.

Xiao Hengfeng finally calmed down a little and said tremblingly: "No, it's not me."

You Jue snorted: "Hu Sixi has already recruited you, and you still want to deny it?"

Xiao Hengfeng still denied it flatly: "He, he is making a false accusation."

"You gave him two hundred taels of silver outside his courtyard last winter, is that right?" You Jue said.

Xiao Hengfeng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat as he listened to every word he said, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "How can there be such a thing?"

You Jue put away the ape stick and sneered: "If it's not you, it's Xiao Hengnian."

"No, no!" Xiao Hengfeng denied again and again.

You Bie Bie said unhurriedly: "He not only killed Meng Fuman, but also killed Songyin. It was because Xiao Hengqi took the blame for him that he was imprisoned in the Qianling Mansion."

"Who is Songyin?" Xiao Hengfeng asked curiously.

You Jue snorted: "So, is it true that Xiao Hengqi took the blame?"

In the darkness, Xiao Hengfeng's breathing was messy and difficult: "You, who are you?"

You Jue ignored his question and asked sharply: "Why on earth did you want to kill Meng Fuman?"

"No, I didn't." Xiao Hengfeng still said that.

You Jue snorted coldly: "Since you refuse to admit it, I have no choice but to ask Hu Sixi to report to the Qianling Mansion and capture you as the main culprit."

"No, you must not!" Xiao Hengfeng suddenly raised his voice.

You Jue pressed the ape stick closer to Xiao Hengfeng's throat: "Then you said you won't tell?"

Xiao Hengfeng suddenly knelt down: "Please let me live, it's all because I was confused."

Seeing that he had surrendered, You Jue asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Hengfeng knelt on the ground and sighed, saying: "Just because I accidentally broke the luminous cup given by Yu, in order not to be discovered, I found someone to make a fake one. I didn't expect that this matter would be revealed somehow.

When Meng knew about it, he blackmailed me. He kept asking me for money and an official position. He was greedy. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I took this step."

You Jue heard this and asked, "Where is the craftsman who made the luminous cup?"

"He, I gave him a large sum of money, and then there was no news from him." Xiao Hengfeng said.

You Jue stared at him: "How can I believe what you said?"

"Because Meng Fuman has been asking me for an official position, I, I once wrote a letter to recommend him to Shangpin, the medical supervisor." Xiao Hengfeng said.

"What's the best product from the drug administration?" You Jue said.

"Yes..." Xiao Hengfeng said.

"Since it was you who did it, why did you let Xiao Hengqi take the blame for you?" You Jue asked again.

Xiao Hengfeng wiped his tears: "It's my third brother who cares about my weak wife and young son and insists on doing this. I'm really ashamed..."

"You feel at ease." You Jue sneered.

Xiao Hengqi fell to the ground, crying and begging: "Please let me go this time. Xiao Hengfeng will be repaid for his actions in the next life."

You Jue just sneered and walked out of the door.

After You Jue left Xiao's residence, she went straight to the residence of Drug Supervisor Shangpin, and sure enough she found two letters handwritten by Xiao Hengfeng.

**********

The next day, Emperor Yongping arranged for Xisu to go to Feng Zhi'en's mansion to provide compensation.

Feng Mansion mourned and set up a mourning hall, waiting for Feng Zhien's coffin to be returned.

After Xisu proclaimed the imperial edict, he reported back to Emperor Yongping.

"Father," Xisu said on his knees.

"Is everything done?" Emperor Yongping said slowly.

"Yes." Xisu said.

"In the battle of Chiyue, we always lose good generals. I don't want to think that this time, I even sealed the general..." Emperor Yongping said in pain.

"General Meng will definitely be able to pacify Chiyue when he leaves. I would like to comfort General Feng and all the soldiers. My father should not be too sad," Xisu said.

"I hope that General Meng can stay in Nanyu and ensure that our people in Huanyue are safe and happy." Emperor Yongping said.

Suddenly he remembered something and asked Xisu: "How did that happen?"
