There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 134 Qin Shuang's Secret Letter to the Enemy in the Past
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but he had a hunch that he would not live long, and after his death, Rou Niang would return to the place where she used to live.Just then, they heard a knock on the door. "I'll open the door, you go back to your room and have a good rest." Stopping Rou Niang, who wanted to get up and answer the door, she walked out by herself.

He didn't know the person who knocked on the door, but the person's brows looked somewhat familiar, and the flustered look gave him an ominous feeling. "You are?"

"Excuse me, are you General Zining?" the visitor asked, looking back anxiously.

"Exactly."

"The villain is Qin Shuang's younger brother Qin Yun." The visitor lowered his voice and said.

"Qin Shuang...? Qin Shuang under General Wang Ji?"

"Yes, my brother is a pawn commander under General Wang's command." Qin Yun said.

It turned out to be Qin Shuang's younger brother, no wonder he looked familiar.It seems that something happened to Qin Shuang.He pondered for a while, and said, "You come in first." It's not safe to stand at the door. Looking at Qin Yun's nervous expression, he might have been followed.After Qin Yun sat down and collected himself, he asked, "But what's wrong with Brother Ling?"

Qin Yun nodded emphatically, and said: "My brother was framed and accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Now my whole family of Qin family is imprisoned, waiting for the king's punishment. However, my brother's old acquaintance in the prison heard that someone wanted to harm my elder brother. , killed him in prison as a suicide in fear of crime. When the officers and soldiers came to arrest me, I escaped with the cover of my elder brother. When my elder brother covered my escape, he asked me to go to the Come to General Zining for help, I hope the general can save my family's life!" Then he knelt down to him with a "plop".

It seemed that things were much more complicated and dangerous than he expected.He took a breath, stretched out his hand to support Qin Yun, and said, "Cooperating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime that will be torn apart and exterminated by nine clans. It is not easy to convict. How can you be sure that Brother Ling was framed by others?"

"Brother will never cooperate with the enemy!" Qin Yun shouted excitedly.

He shook his head and said: "I understand your feelings, but you must have real evidence for everything. You said that Brother Ling was framed—well, even if what you said is true, there is no evidence, how can you get rid of the crime? Rescue brother Ling? Even if he saves his life, brother Ling will bear the name of a traitor all his life and live on the run."

Qin Yun was silent for a while, and then said: "Brigade Commander Chen Fa of the elder brother said that he had heard the news of his collusion with the enemy, so he brought people to search, and found a small wooden box containing the secret letter of collusion in the elder brother's room. But that wooden box doesn't belong to Big Brother at all! No one in our family has ever seen such a thing!"

If it is framed, it may be brought in during the search, but falsely claiming that it was found from the house. "The only evidence of crime is the collaborating letter, is there nothing else?"

"Only the letter." Qin Yun replied affirmatively.

"Then do you know where Brigadier Chen Fa heard the news?" If Chen Fa wanted to frame Qin Shuang, what was his motive?

"This... I don't know." Qin Yun said dejectedly.

"When something like this happens, it is reasonable to say that General Wang should order a thorough investigation of the matter. Didn't Brother Ling tell General Wang everything to prove his innocence?" Besides, no one in the court discussed this matter. Could it be that someone deliberately hidden?If this is the case, the possibility of Qin Shuang being framed is greatly increased.

"I only found out that General Wang requested that the case be resolved as soon as possible, and that the soldiers of the military camp were not allowed to talk about it." Qin Yun said.

"He was afraid that the king would blame him for being incompetent if he knew about it, so that some people would cooperate with the enemy and betray the country." He said quickly, "Also, if Brother Ling was framed by others, if the trial is open, what is the purpose of their murder of Brother Ling?" There are still many doubts about this matter, and I need to find out one by one before I can restore my brother's innocence." Judging from the fact that Qin Shuang asked his younger brother to take the risk to find him, the person who framed Qin Shuang should be The man named Chen Da who was taught by Qin Shuang at that time.Wang Ji, on the other hand, may have also listened to Chen Da's villain's words, thinking that Qin Shuang had made friends with him and betrayed him, so he acquiesced in this matter.If so, things will be difficult to handle.Although the incident happened, it did not alarm the court, and he could not rashly intervene in the affairs of the Zuo army, otherwise not only would he not be able to rescue Qin Shuang, but he would even be branded an "accomplice". "Young Master Qin, where is Brother Ling being imprisoned now?"

"In the prison of General Wang's barracks." Qin Yun replied.

He nodded and said: "Stay in my residence, and you must not show your face outside, or you will be arrested easily. If Brother Ling is really innocent, I will find a way to help you."

"Thank you, General!" Qin Yun kowtowed to him gratefully.

"Okay, okay." He helped Qin Yun up, "You don't need to thank me if the matter is not done yet. You can stay here first." He placed Qin Yun in the east wing, and told Qin Yun not to go out .

"Zining." Rou Niang came, "Who is that man?"

He frowned, and said, "It's the younger brother of Qin Shuang, the commander of General Wang Ji, named Qin Yun."

"Qin Shuang—isn't that the man you met with Mr. Zhao in Nancheng? What happened to him?" Rou Niang asked while holding his hand.

"It seems that he was framed and imprisoned," he said.

"This...Zining, are you going to save him?" Rou Niang asked.

"He was framed by others, and I am also partially responsible. If he is really innocent, then I can't just sit and watch." He lightly patted Rou Niang's shoulder, "It's okay, I will find a way to meet Qin Shuang first, Let's see how we can save him."

Rou Niang looked at him worriedly, but she could only nod her head.

into the night.Taking advantage of the interval between soldiers changing shifts, he sneaked into Wang Ji's barracks.He was very clear about the patrol arrangement of Wang Ji's barracks, and it was easy to avoid the patrolling soldiers.He stunned the sentry on guard with the drug concocted by Rou Niang, and met Qin Shuang who was locked alone in the prison. "Qin Shuang." He tapped on the railing lightly.

"General Zining?" Qin Shuang almost cried out in surprise, but quickly lowered the volume, "Why are you here?"

"Your brother found me and told me what happened to you recently." He said while carefully paying attention to the movement outside.

"Sorry, I really don't know who to turn to for help, so I can only ask him to come to you." Qin Shuang walked over, sat down against the railing, and said, "I was wronged, and I never did anything to apologize for returning home. matter!"

He just looked at Qin Shuang coldly.

"General Zining, please trust me!" Qin Shuang begged him anxiously.

He sighed softly and said, "I said the same thing to my younger brother, if you are indeed innocent, I will save you, but if you have really committed treason, there is no need for General Wang Ji to take action." , I will truthfully report to the king to punish you.”

"I'm innocent!" Qin Shuang grabbed his clothes eagerly, "General Zining, when I was arrested, I didn't even know the contents of that letter. How could I be a traitor?"

He was silent for a while, and said, "That is to say, you now know the contents of the secret letter to the enemy?"

"Yes." Qin Shuang nodded.

"What was said in the secret letter?" Maybe only from this secret letter of communication with the enemy can we find out some clues.

"Well... I only remember the general content. It was written by Mr. Wuquan of Chu State. As long as I find the defense map of the return border, I will be rewarded." Qin Shuang recalled, "There is also Mr. Wuquan's personal information on it." seal."

He understood right away. "I see, don't worry, I will rescue you, and of course, I will give you and your family a clean slate. During this time, don't do other unnecessary things, and don't confess yourself under torture. In that case, you will no longer be able to save yourself and your family.” He warned, “Maybe they will threaten you with the safety of your family, but you must remember that you must never admit to a crime you have not committed. do you understand?"

Qin Shuang nodded half-understanding, and said, "I understand. But do you already believe that I was framed?"

"Ah."

"Where did you get the confirmation?" Qin Shuang wanted to ask clearly.

He smiled lightly and said, "Because there is no Mr. Wuquan in Chu State."

"What?!" Qin Shuang's eyes widened in shock.

"That's why the person who framed you didn't report this matter to the imperial court." He sneered, "It is a very serious matter to have discovered a spy in the country and in the army. You must report it to the king immediately and thoroughly investigate whether there are still hidden spies in the army." Other detailed work. But in this way, the secret letter they forged to communicate with the enemy must be presented as evidence, and at that time, such obvious loopholes in the secret letter will be seen through immediately. So they did not report it, Instead, they planned to kill you secretly."

"Then I..." Qin Shuang said, "Even if I don't plead guilty, they can still kill me and treat my death as suicide."

He nodded and said, "But I still need to find the secret letter, otherwise I won't be able to prove what you said is true. If you are innocent, I will try to save you as soon as possible. You have to endure for three days. Do you understand?"

"Three days." Qin Shuang chewed these two words, clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I know, no matter what happens, I will definitely stick to it."

"It won't take that long." He smiled slightly and comforted, "I will definitely find the evidence within three days. If you were framed, I will rescue you and your family."

"Great General..." Seeing that Qin Shuang was about to kowtow to him, he immediately stopped him and said, "It's not too late to kowtow to me after I rescue you. Maybe in the end, I won't be able to save any of you at all. Maybe ——You are indeed a spy, not worthy of my rescue."

Qin Shuang shook her head, "No, General Zining, you are willing to bother about my affairs, I am already very grateful."

He didn't answer.If someone else had fallen into this situation, they might have blamed others, but Qin Shuang didn't blame him.He didn't stay for too long, "I have to leave here as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered, take care." After finishing speaking, he quickly left Wang Ji's barracks.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, the king sent someone to summon him, asking him to enter the palace late at night.

"Your Majesty is looking for you so late, what's the important thing?" Rou Niang said worriedly when helping him change his clothes.

He just smiled.To be honest, he didn't know what was waiting for him this time, but he hoped that nothing would anger the King!Perhaps this is also an opportunity to report Qin Shuang's matter to the king, and if the king intervenes to take care of it, the goal of rescuing Qin Shuang may be achieved faster.However, the only question now is the whereabouts of the secret letter of communication as evidence.If the king ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, and Wang Ji and Chen Fa replaced the secret letter with a real letter from an important official from another country, the matter would become even more difficult.Although many old ministers of the former king in the court thought that the king was a willful and fatuous lord who listened to slander, he knew that the king had his own opinions and ideas, and no one could influence his decision.Therefore, if no conclusive evidence can be produced, he may be falsely accused of being an accomplice and Zhongliang.
