Raid

Chapter 277 Commitment
The day before Ke Yongzhao went to see An Huai, he first came to see Li Shengxi.

Strictly speaking, it was Li Shengxi who summoned him.Li Shengxi sat on the main seat, she glanced at Liu Jin beside her, and Liu Jin gave him a plate of food.

"General Ke, take a good look." Liu Jin smiled generously.

Ke Yongzhao didn't understand what she meant, but he still read it carefully, then turned a few pages,
He has always been aware of the smuggling case in Hong Yin, and when he heard it for the first time, he was incomparably horrified.

However, he didn't expect that Xiaoshanshui Gorge would be involved in this matter, and Xiaoshanshuixia has always been guarded by him.

"Your Highness, the last general is loyal to the country, and the sun and the moon can learn from it. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the last general, and I hope your highness will learn from it." Ke Yongzhao immediately half-kneeled on the ground.

"But this matter did happen within the scope of your jurisdiction, and you are duty-bound." Li Shengxi's face was indifferent, and her emotions could not be seen.

"It's true...the final general may have committed negligence in this matter, but he has absolutely no rebellious heart. Please trust the late general." Ke Yongzhao frowned. If this matter could involve Xiao Shanshui Gorge, then he must be with him He couldn't get rid of the responsibility, and he didn't intend to shirk his responsibility, but he was afraid that the highness in front of him would misunderstand him and arrest him, so that the real murderer would go free and cause a catastrophe.

"You don't have to be so eager to swear. If I doubt you, you are already in prison at this moment, not in your mansion." Li Shengzhen shook her head, and she pointed to Ke Yongzhao The booklet in your hand, "You can flip through it later."

Ke Yongzhao followed his words and continued to read back. It is true that someone under his command secretly sent Chen Cang to release water for the Xirong people without telling him.

Every time he turned a page, his expression darkened.If this matter leaks out, no one can save him at all.

To be able to do this in his hands, a name has already vaguely appeared in his heart.

Only An Huai can do so much in his hands without being noticed by him.

"The matter has come to this point, and the evidence here is almost conclusive. Why didn't His Highness doubt the last general?" Although Ke Yongzhao was glad that Li Shengxi did not doubt him, he was still puzzled.

"I was skeptical at first." Li Shengxi didn't hide it, and she continued: "It's just that after entering Xizhou, I felt something was wrong."

"for example."

"Many, for example, you are extremely poor."

Ke Yongzhao: "..."

Unexpectedly, it was because of his poverty that he escaped suspicion.

"This is one of the many reasons." Li Shengxi chuckled, and asked someone to show him something, "Do you still remember that I was assassinated once when I entered the city?"

Ke Yongzhao nodded.

"I asked someone to investigate the origins of those assassins. It's a coincidence that they have something to do with you."

Ke Yongzhao: "..."

"It's just that these small tricks can deceive others, but I can't hide it from you today. I checked weapons and clothing materials, and found out the steward of your house. And that steward is your wife's dowry. He has been sent away by An Huai for a long time. Your money has done a lot. Now, do you know why you yourself are so poor?"

Ke Yongzhao: "..."

For a while I didn't know what to say.

"After I found out here, I suspected Anhuai, so I asked Liu Jin to investigate him. It would be a disaster if he checked. He did have some tricks, but he was not Liu Jin's opponent. Smuggling is rampant, and he has done a lot of hard work. But before that, he just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye to release water to the two places. He is also merciless when he fights Xirong on weekdays. I don’t know Why this time, if you send someone to assassinate me, Sun Jie will be trapped, maybe it has something to do with him."

"Smuggling, although it seems to be mutually beneficial to both parties, is actually harmful to Northern Qi. It is a matter of returning to the foundation of Northern Qi. Anhuai's father died at the hands of Qi people. He resented Qi people. Although doing so is rebellious, it is also a matter of rebellion. It is reasonable. But now that he assassinated His Highness, Litong Xirong, it is a real treasonous matter, and the general will not understand it. It is not because he was exposed by the Xirong people and threatened by it. It." Ke Yongzhao shook his head.

"Is it just for this?" Li Shengxi's eyes dimmed, "Could it be that if this matter is exposed, it will be worse than his end when he joins Xi Rong?"

If this incident was exposed, at best he would be exiled, and in addition to the upcoming Northern Expedition, if he had manpower to protect him, he might be able to make up for it, so why did he go to Xirong?
Could it be that he would have a good end if he took refuge in Xirong?That was Xi Rong, who was cruel by nature and would slaughter cities at every turn.As a famous general in the Southern Jin Dynasty, An Huai joined Xirong, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will not end well.

If the Dongchuang incident happens, the Nine Clans will inevitably suffer.Even if nothing happened, he helped Xirong to enter the customs, what awaited him was either the counterattack of the Xirong people, or the complaints and denunciations of the people.The family slaves of the three surnames have always been shameless.

Is he the only one left in their family?He can be so indifferent.

Ke Yongzhao remained silent.

"No matter what the reason is, if we only rely on you and me to explore, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out." Li Sheng shook his head.

"I don't know that Your Highness today, apart from informing the general about this matter, there are other things that the general needs to serve." Ke Yongzhao took a breath. If it wasn't because there was something he needed to help with, as soon as such a thing came out, Li Sheng Xi should have directly taken An Huai down instead of coming here to talk to him.

"Of course there are." Li Shengxi nodded.

The reason why she didn't take An Huai directly was because she had Rong Zhi by her side, if she attacked An Huai rashly, An Huai might turn black and white and cause a big mistake.The second reason is that Anhuai is different from Hongyin Baiguan. Even if those people have cultivated party members for a long time, they are still civil officials. No matter how deeply entrenched they are, they can be easily wiped out.But An Huai is a military general, he has prestige and cronies, and he even has a few private soldiers, if he is to deal with him, if he is not careful, it will easily cause the frontier army to mutiny.The third reason is that if you keep An Huai, you can better control the situation in Xirong.

If An Huai is taken down now, they will startle the snake instead.Although facing Xirong head-on may not be invincible.But if you can win with fewer troops, why refuse?
"I heard that you want to learn from Emperor Taizong, Lord Qing?" Li Sheng tilted his head and smiled.

Ke Yongzhao: "...Your Highness has learned from you, the last general has not agreed."

Li Shengxi controlled the inner guard like an arm, how did she know these words, he didn't want to know.

"Don't be alarmed, I want you to promise him." Li Sheng lowered his eyes, his charm was high, and he was not angry.
