The regent's little Jiaojiao is so troublesome

Chapter 550 Isn't there a living witness?

This time, besides Yu Juechen, there was also Qin Sang, a confidant from Qin Yangcheng.

Chu Tianci looked at Yu Juechen: "How is the investigation on Bai Xu's matter?"

Yu Juechen nodded: "It's roughly clear, half a year ago, there was a tsunami in the area between Pingnan City and Daizhou, Daizhou was a little better, and almost half of Pingnan City was flooded.

At that time, it was Bai Xu who took the common people to take refuge in Nanshan, north of Pingnan City, and saved a large number of common people's lives.

However, after this tsunami, the homes of most of the people in Pingnan City were flooded, and the food that was about to be harvested was also flooded. Not only that, the family food was also flooded. "

When Yu Juechen said this, he sighed softly: "The entire Pingnan City is full of hunger, and the bark on the Nanshan Mountain has been eaten up. However, when our people went to investigate, Pingnan City had already recovered. Calm, if we hadn't seen the bare tree trunks on Nanshan, and inspected the corpses in the mass graves, we found that there were a lot of white goodness in their stomachs. If not, we probably wouldn't know what happened at that time .”

Chu Tianci frowned slightly: "Is there no living witness?"

Yu Juechen showed an unbelievable expression on his face: "Pingnan City experienced a cleansing, and most of the people died. The people who are left now are those who left Pingnan City on or before the tsunami and went to other places. .By the time they will Pingnan City, the entire Pingnan City has become a city of death."

Yu Juechen looked at Chu Tianci, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "They seem to have premeditated this matter, and they have done it well. It may be difficult to reverse Bai Xu's case."

Chu Tianci looked at Qin Sang: "Ah Sang, you are in Qinyang City, have you heard any news?"

Qin Sang: "Before Bai Xu's accident, the whole city of Runan City was under martial law, and the caravan passing through Qinyang was restricted. However, the caravan we arranged in Pingnan City once brought back news that Bai Xu had contacted him. I want to purchase food to appease the people in Pingnan City.

However, Pingnan City was in a closed state at that time, and all commercial routes were cut off, and they had no way to bypass Runan, Daizhou, and Yiling to deliver grain to Pingnan City. "

Chu Tianci stood up and pointed to Pingnan City: "Three sides are sealed off, Bai Xu's only way out is the sea area to the south."

Qin Sang nodded: "It's just that there is only one Nanhai Island to the south of Pingnan City. The resources on the island are scarce and cannot meet the needs of Pingnan City. Therefore, the only thing he can ask for help is the Nanhai Island adjacent to Runan City." The country has been ordered."

Yu Juechen nodded: "Exactly, the reason why they judged that Bai Xu was collaborating with the enemy and treason was because they had captured evidence of correspondence between Bai Xu and the Nanzhao Kingdom. Now it seems that this letter should exist, but it is only the content, and it should not be collaborating with the enemy." Treason, but to buy food and grass."

Chu Tianci shook his head: "No, they probably didn't catch any substantive evidence, otherwise, why would Bai Xu be sent back to Jinling for interrogation? To be framed, there must be evidence to prove it, otherwise the country will be shaken, which is not what Emperor Chu wants to see."

Both Yu Juechen and Qin Sang thought it was true.

Yu Juechen: "In this way, if we can get that letter, maybe we can restore Bai Xu's innocence."
