Chapter 241 The Truth (Part 2)

After listening to Su Mingjue’s words, the general’s expression relaxed slightly: “The Duke has always been very kind to our brothers. Whenever a brother dies in battle, he will have his body collected and his ashes preserved. " Send him back to his brother's hometown."

"He said that a good man who can go to the battlefield is wandering around in the field. After death, he naturally hopes to return to his roots.

" After secretly transporting the bones of the Duke and several generals, he thought of collecting the ashes of the Duke and several generals and sent them to the Meng Mansion in the capital. "

"That day, I found a deserted place to set them up . As the firewood was about to be burned, a man in a black coat came to stop him. He said that if we did this, the

Duke would be stigmatized as a rebel. The bones were sent back to the capital, and the public was told that the Duke and several generals had sacrificed their lives for the country, so that even if the Duke died, he would have a good reputation and would not be a traitor despised by everyone."

After that, the general emphasized. "Besides, the Duke and several generals are not rebels in the first place. They have fought so many victorious battles for Daxing, and have already suffered many serious injuries and 'died their lives for the country.'"

Su Mingjue glanced at Lu Shaoyu after hearing this. , seeing him bowing his head in deep thought, he asked: "What does the man in Xuanyi look like? Do you know him?"

The general shook his head: "I don't know him. That man also covered his face when he said this to me. We also I have never seen his true face."

After Lu Shaoyu listened quietly, he looked directly into the general's eyes and said: "Sending five coffins from Helan Mountain to the capital is no small matter. Your entry into the capital is so large that it is impossible for people along the way. How did you do it without being discovered, but you are safe and sound?" When

the general heard this question, he was reluctant to say it on the spot, "Who are you? Said!"

Su Mingjue naturally knew that Lu Shaoyu spoke like this to ask about the situation, but she didn't know whether he did it on purpose or not. What he said was a bit out of proportion.

He smoothed things over and said, "The general just came here in a hurry. I haven't introduced you yet. This is Mr. Lu Shaoyu Lu, the minister of Dali Temple. He is here to investigate the case for Duke Meng."

"The beautiful judge of the minister of Dali Temple ." "

Su Mingjue nodded, "That's him."

When the general heard this, he calmed down a little: "I know that you have redressed many injustices for the people, and you are also a good official who makes decisions for the people."

Lu Shaoyu heard this. This compliment was given with a calm expression, "General, that's ridiculous. Please tell me how you did it, General Lu."

"It's not a big deal. Before I joined the army, my family held funerals and took care of all the trivial matters. The ancestors left a secret recipe. After putting the corpse in a ventilated place for a day, and then touching it with special tung oil, the corpse will not rot and stay dry. This is what the Duke and several generals did."

"As for how the congratulations came out, In Lanshan, we walked on a trail. There was a place in Helan Mountain where we had gone to practice. From there, we could go around to another county seat without passing through the city gate. When we arrived at the county seat, a few of us disguised ourselves as businessmen and walked on mountainous roads. Of course, we didn’t check the trail.”

“We didn’t change our clothes until we were approaching the capital, and rode in from outside the city.”

“The general simply brushed off the hardships of the journey, and he was short on time and carried five coffins. , and we are walking on a mountain path. You can move something as heavy as a coffin at your request, and you can also reach the capital in a short time. You must have some divine power to help you."

When the general heard Lu Shaoyu question him again, he snorted coldly. He said: "How to carry it is my own business. Mr. Lu doesn't believe me so much. I don't think we need to talk anymore!"

Su Mingjue stood aside and listened. When he saw the two people facing each other again, he licked He licked his tongue and persuaded: "General, Mr. Lu doesn't mean that. Don't take it to heart. I just want to know how this heavy coffin was transported to the capital." After

listening to Su Mingjue's words, the general softened his tone a few times, " Mr. Su, to be honest, someone did help me, but after that person finished helping me, he specifically told me to keep my mouth shut and not to tell anyone about it. Those who march and fight are very honest, so I can't agree to others' things. It's better not to comply."

Su Mingjue nodded, "Of course, there is no need to continue what the general said."

Lu Shaoyu looked at him and still didn't let him go. "There is one more thing I want to ask the general. I dare to ask Duke Meng. "Which family did we borrow the grain from?"

the general recalled carefully. "It's from a county some distance away from Hemen Pass. I don't know which one specifically, but the rice looked like it was of the highest quality. It was better than what we usually get." The rice eaten in it must be much finer."

"You just said that you shot Meng Guo and left the country privately to borrow food. Is there any relevant evidence to prove it?"

"I don't know. I was there at the time. He was recovering from his injuries and was not involved."

"Think carefully, has anyone seen the food transport?" Lu Shaoyu guided.

The general shook his head, "The major general did this secretly at night. First, he was afraid that the Lixia people would know that we were short of food, which would prolong the tug-of-war; second, after all, he left the customs privately. If this matter was reported to the court, it would be dangerous If something goes wrong, we won't do it during the day."

Su Mingjue said, "How did you know about such a secret?"

The general said, "I was originally a staff general under the Major General, and the Major General discussed this matter with us. "

As he said, he suddenly remembered something, "I remember that the Major General joked that his father's accounting book would probably have another debt in it from now on!"

Su Mingjue heard this and exclaimed: "If the accounting book were This is not a joke. Finding this will prove that Duke Meng left the customs to borrow food."

The general was a little excited when he heard this, but he hesitated for a moment: "But I don't know if this accounting book really exists. Even if it is there, we have to go to Hemenguan to find it."

Lu Shaoyu said, "We won't know until we find it. The tricky thing now is to find the letter."

Su Mingjue said, "That letter is. " We don't know who it is written to, so how can we find out?"

Lu Shaoyu pursed his lips and said, "We still need to find out more about this matter. I'm afraid it may be related to King Guangchang."

Su Mingjue was startled when he heard this: " Wasn’t King Guangchang executed just two months ago?”
