Chapter 50

In the winter of the 26th year of Pingyang, the borders of Beidi were unstable due to the increasingly frequent harassment of the Di people.

Dayu dispatched troops and generals, and the emperor handpicked General Anding Gu Zhengrong to go to the north to defend against the enemy.

At that time, Concubine Shu's younger brother, Guo Ziyu, was only sixteen years old. He couldn't study well, and he only liked to play with knives and sticks. He didn't practice martial arts seriously. He couldn't bear the hardship, but it was not a small thing after all. Now, I can't write without writing and just hang around at home like this all day long.

Concubine Shu wanted to drag her natal family, and she valued her only brother even more, so she begged the emperor to let Guo Ziyu join Gu Zhengrong's command, and go to the border together.

On the surface, it is said that it is to protect the family and defend the country, and to share the worries of the emperor, but in fact, the sons of the nobles go to the battlefield, and the kung fu of the three-legged cat is not worth it. Can get a real difference.

"I don't have any real skills at first. If Guo Ziyu stayed in the camp honestly, it would be fine. But he is very arrogant. Relying on his sister as the head of the three wives, he treats General Gu with respect and disrespect. He secretly led people to kill the Beidi people. He thought he could easily capture the Beidi people, but he didn't want to be beaten by the Beidi people, so he fled to the village where my family is located with the remnant soldiers in a panic..."

Hearing this, Song Xieyu already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Wang Xingyuan then said with a gloomy face: "The 58 people who stayed in the village were all slaughtered, but the murderer was not Di Ren, but Guo Ziyu and his party!"

Song Xieyu frowned, "How dare he do that?!"

Wang Xingyuan raised his face, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well, "He was just afraid that his disastrous defeat would be exposed, so he killed ordinary people as Di people. First, he pretended to be a military leader, and second, he used this as an excuse to escape responsibility. After he returned, he Said that he met Di Ren's scouts on a narrow road, and finally wiped out the other party, so not only is he not guilty, but he has merit!"

Song Xieyu hesitated when he heard the words.

The leader of the army is naturally going to bring the enemy's head back, but Di people are very different from ordinary people, General Gu should not be able to tell the difference.

But Wang Xingyuan said that Guo Ziyu had made a contribution...

After a while, she asked bluntly, "Is General Gu involved in this matter?"

Wang Xingyuan shook his head, "According to the villain's investigation, there is no such thing. At that time, the situation in Beidi was critical. General Gu was indeed loyal and dedicated to the country. He had been planning how to repel Beidi. But because of this, he had no time to spare." Gu, he was tampered with by Guo Ziyu's people. Naturally, there were other people who helped Xiang Xiang at the time, but those people either died in battle, or had an accident later, and they are no longer there, and now only the culprit remains!"

When he said that those people were gone, his tone was light and ethereal.

Song Xieyu was startled for a moment, and soon realized that those who died in accidents were probably inseparable from him.

Those people must have low official positions, and they are in the north, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is not too difficult to do tricks.

Only Guo Ziyu, the younger brother of Concubine Shu, now lives in the capital and is still on the imperial emissary, in Wang Xingyuan's capacity, it is too difficult to take revenge.

Besides, he still has relatives in Beijing, so he can't put all his eggs in one basket. After all, his identity is exposed, and the shopkeeper Wang and others who kindly took him in cannot escape.

Song Xieyu nodded secretly, if what Wang Xingyuan said is true, then even though he has a family feud, he is not an extreme person, and he has not been blinded by hatred, no matter what, just from this point, It will be stronger than many people.

After thinking about it, she said: "This matter is not trivial, I still need to think about it carefully."

Wang Xingyuan bowed his body and said in a low voice: "The villain understands."

He didn't say any more, and haste makes waste. He knew that if Song Xieyu really wanted to, he would definitely investigate this matter, at least to make sure that he hadn't spoken before.

Having said that, Song Xieyu stood up, ready to leave.

Wang Xingyuan and shopkeeper Wang sent her downstairs.

Watching her get into the carriage and go away, shopkeeper Wang pulled Wang Xingyuan aside, and asked worriedly, "Why did it take so long?"

Wang Xingyuan lowered his head slightly, "It's nothing, the princess just chatted with me casually."

"You still want to hide it from me?" Shopkeeper Wang sternly said, "Could it be that you're talking about revenge with the princess right now?"

Wang Xingyuan looked at him in astonishment.

Shopkeeper Wang sighed helplessly and said: "Sure enough! Do you think I can't see it? You have been investigating this matter all these years under the pretext of being a businessman. After that, you have frequently traveled to the north, and your actions are very secretive. No matter how stupid you are, you will know that there is something wrong with it.”

The reason why he didn't bring it up was because he knew he couldn't help much.

After all, this is a big matter, and it involves nobles, and he also has his own selfishness.

Shopkeeper Wang patted Wang Xingyuan on the shoulder, "The reason why I recommended you in front of the princess is because I want you to get into the eyes of the prince or the prince. Revenge has to be done slowly, and I have to ask them for help." , the princess is honorable, but she is a woman after all, you have been through with her so early, if she doesn't want to get into trouble and simply refuses, wouldn't this be a waste of a great opportunity?"

He couldn't help regretting that although this nephew knew how to do business, he still didn't know how to act.

He thought so, but Wang Xingyuan shook his head, "Uncle, I have also inquired about Princess Changle, according to what you said, if I get her favor, I am willing to do things for her, but I will turn around and show her favor Father or brother, can she be happy?"

If he annoyed her, perhaps with just a few words from Xiao, all his calculations would be in vain.

"This……"

Seeing shopkeeper Wang's hesitation, Wang Xingyuan said again: "To be honest, uncle, I decided to tell my true intentions only after meeting Princess Changle. She seems to prefer the frankness of the people below. Instead, she hides it and hides it, which will cause trouble. She is unhappy. If she is willing to use me, she will naturally help me. If she is unwilling, I will think of other ways. In any case, for the sake of the more than 9000 gold, she will not vent her anger on her uncle, at most Act like nothing happened.”

Shopkeeper Wang glared at him angrily, "It's just to vent my anger on me, the worst is to leave Qiancizhai, I can do other things, I'm just worried that you miss such a good opportunity! I've seen the prince and the prince in the mansion, They are all rare good people, if they are willing to help you, there will be a lot to do in this matter."

Wang Xingyuan smiled without arguing.

It’s just that he still feels in his heart that although the prince and the prince are good people, they also have more concerns. They may not be willing to bring up the case from several years ago to offend Concubine Shu. On the contrary, the princess of Changle is probably the one who is most likely to be moved in the palace. Even if she is only a woman, her status is very noble. If she really wants to help him, she can do a lot!
