Lin Ye looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought for a moment.
If these letters were used now, of course they could kill a group of people.
But the people who were killed were definitely not the ones who deserved to be killed, let alone Lin Ye's target.
Just a member of the Yu family would not let Lin Ye unleash his murderous intentions right now.
"I'll have to make a trip for you later."
Lin Ye put all the letters back into the box and handed them to Flea: "Send all these letters to Xumi Pianruo and ask him to keep them."
Flea agreed: "Don't worry."
He asked Lin Ye: "Master, you look bad, are you okay?"
Lin Ye said: "It's okay, it's just that this letter mentioned some enemies of the Cowardly Army. Don't worry, I can keep my composure."
He patted Flea on the shoulder: "After the letter is delivered, tell Xumi Pianruo that you can knock the mountain to shake the tiger. You don't have to come back in a hurry. Find a place to have a good sleep."
Seeing that Lin Ye was still calm, Flea felt relieved. After taking the letter, he left the official post office.
Lin Ye sat there thinking, with a deep expression on his face.
The dire straits in Geling City are much more complicated than those faced on the battlefield.
At this time, Lin Ye once again thought of what the emperor said to him in Yunzhou.
"Since I brought you to Geling, I'm not afraid that you will do things too well in Geling."
The moment this sentence appeared in Lin Ye's mind, Lin Ye slowly exhaled.
He stood up, packed his things, and then left the official post office.
Lin Ye did not come back until dark, nor did he enter the palace, as if he had disappeared all of a sudden.
After dark, at home.
Yu Song had been losing his temper all day because the merciless man escaped.
Yu Song couldn't guess how much trouble this person would bring to the Yu family.
The best outcome would be that the guy didn't dare to get involved and escaped from Geling on his own.
The worst result is that now that the Cui family knows his plan, what the Yu family will face next is the Cui family's suppression and revenge.
Outside the study door, Yu Song shouted with a gloomy face: "Go away and look for someone. If I can't find you, don't come back."
After saying that, he opened the door and came in. As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Ye sitting behind his desk.
"Better not shout."
Lin Ye looked down at the book and said softly.
"You...what do you want to do?"
Yu Song asked nervously.
Lin Ye said: "Your eldest son Yu Huantong was arrested by me. If you don't want to be a descendant, you must learn to be obedient."
Yu Song's eyes suddenly opened wide: "You...how dare you..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ye looked away from the book, looked at Yu Song and said, "How dare you betray General Liu Jigong back then?"
Yu Song's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say the next words.
Lin Ye said: "You should know that I am the adopted son of the general. I don't need so many reasons to kill you."
Yu Song swallowed, thought for a moment, then turned around and closed the door of the study.
"General, you have reached such a status now, there is no need to ruin your future for what happened in the past ten years."
Yu Song tried his best to keep his voice calm, for fear of irritating Lin Ye at this time.
Lin Ye nodded: "You are right."
He looked at Yu Song and said, "Otherwise, you would have died the last time I came to your home at night."
When Yu Song heard this, he felt a little relieved. "If the general needs anything from the Yu family, just give him the order. Everyone in the family is willing to obey the general's orders."
Yu Song walked to the desk and clasped his fists and said: "As the head of the family, I guarantee the general. From now on, I, the Yu family, will only obey the general."
Lin Ye hummed and put the book back on the bookshelf: "This bookshelf is good."
Because of these words, Yu Song's heart trembled again.
Lin Ye said: "Back then, when the general was fighting alone in northern Xinjiang, he was betrayed. He must have been in a bad mood."
Yu Song immediately said: "Yes, yes, I was also coerced back then. I really didn't dare to risk the lives of my whole family. The general should know that the Yu family is weak and cannot resist..."
Lin Ye: "Who can't I fight against?"
Yu Song immediately shut his mouth.
Lin Ye said: "You dared to betray the general in order to save your life, so why don't you dare to betray those people today to save your life?"
Yu Song: "General...what you want me to do, just say it."
Lin Ye said: "It's simple, you go to His Majesty and tell the story of that year in detail."
Yu Song was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly knelt down while holding on to the desk.
"General, I am already at this age and I have just lost a son. Everyone in my family is counting on me to support them. I can die alone to forgive the mistakes I committed back then, but my family has no fault. If the general forces me to see His Majesty, the entire Yu family will be executed."
Lin Ye said: "I'm happy to see it."
Yu Song raised his head and looked at Lin Ye. The begging in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.
"General, I beg you to spare the lives of my family."
After saying this, he began to kowtow.
Lin Ye was silent for a moment and then said: "I have lost my family before, so I can understand your thoughts."
Yu Song immediately raised his head: "Thank you, General, thank you, General!"
Lin Ye said: "You don't dare to see His Majesty, and you don't dare to confront those people face to face, then I will give you a compromise."
Yu Chan said: "Please give me your orders, General."
Lin Ye said: "Tomorrow morning, you send all your family members out of the city. I will give you a way out. After your family leaves Geling, I will let you hide. When you are needed to stand up, you can stand up again."
Yu Song's face kept changing. For a moment, no matter what choice he made, he couldn't choose it, and he didn't want to choose it.
Lin Ye slowly exhaled and reached out to pick up the black mask he had just put down on the table.
"In that case, I have no choice but to kill your family first to avenge General Liu Jigong."
The moment Lin Ye put on the mask, Yu Song immediately said anxiously: "General, don't worry, I will send the whole family out of Geling early tomorrow morning. I am willing to go with the general. When will the general ask me to come forward?" I will show up whenever I can.”
Lin Ye said: "It's a little late."
He stood up and walked towards the door.
Yu Song crawled over and hugged Lin Ye's legs: "General, I was wrong, General. Please give me another chance."
Lin Ye looked down at him, and after a moment of silence, he nodded: "Then go and give the instructions now. I won't leave tonight, I will stay at your home."
Yu Chan responded immediately.
At dawn the next day, Yu Song asked his family to leave Geling.
At this time, Xumi Pianruo was in the court hall, thinking about what he wanted to say later.
On the high platform, Gu Xiujin cleared his throat and said: "The sage asked, do you have anything else to report to me? If not, you can go back."
Xumi Pianruo took a step forward: "My lord, I have something to say."
The emperor nodded, and Gu Xiujin immediately said: "Master Xumi, please come forward and speak." Xumi Pianruo took a few steps forward, lifted his robe, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty leaves it to your minister, Yu Huan. I already have some clues about the murder case."
The emperor said: "Say."
Xumi Pianruo said: "I can't tell everything now, because this matter involves many people, and it also involves old cases in the past."
The emperor asked in a slightly gloomy tone: "Then what do you want to tell me?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me a privilege."
He raised his head and looked at the emperor and said: "Because the case involved is related to Liu Jigong, the general of the Cowardly Army more than ten years ago."
When he said this, many people trembled in their hearts.
She shivered completely uncontrollably, because no one expected that Xumi Pianruo would directly mention Liu Jigong's matter in the court.
Xumi Pianruo continued: "This matter is very involved, and I also know that some people had no choice but to do it."
"So if these people are willing to cooperate with me in investigating the case, I ask for your Majesty's permission not to publish the names of these people for the time being, and after the case is concluded, their merits will be used to offset their crimes."
The emperor was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
Xumi Pianruo kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He stood up and took out something from his arms: "This jade pendant was given to me by an adult who was willing to cooperate with me in investigating the case. He wore it personally to express his repentance and determination."
He raised his voice and said, "Not only him, but his family and Dali Temple will also temporarily protect him until the case is closed."
The civil and military officials in the court had different expressions. Some people stood there with calm faces, saying nothing or expressing anything.
Someone looked at Xumi Pianruo with anger in their eyes, which means, what do you mean by saying these words in the court?
There were also people who looked indifferent. This matter had nothing to do with him anyway, and he was happy to watch the fun.
Xumi Pianruo took out a few more letters from his arms: "These letters are from the traitors who hid in the cowardly army, who colluded with Lou Fan and the Dongbo rebels, and colluded with the traitor Tuoba Lie to frame him. Evidence of betraying General Liu Jigong."
He said loudly: "To be honest, these letters are not signed, but I will ask for your Majesty's permission to compare the memorials from past years."
When he spoke, he leaned towards the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I request..."
The emperor nodded before he could finish his words: "Yes."
This is an obvious signal that the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate the case of Liu Jigong, the then general.
Not long after the court meeting dispersed, many people received the news.
All members of Yu Song's family left Geling early in the morning.
Others saw Yu Song leaving home alone. He did not leave the city and did not know where he went.
This news confirmed that what Xumi Pianruo said in the court was not all bluff.
No one knows better than those who participated in this matter that the Yu family did know something.
In the entire city of Geling, it seemed that the calm waters were no longer calm, and there were waves.
At this time, Lin Ye was already in his new home.
As a general on the frontier, and with such great achievements, His Majesty gave Lin Ye a house in Geling City, which was certainly not excessive.
A few days ago, this house was being cleaned up and renovated. It was not shabby in the first place, so it was not slow to clean it up.
The people were also curious when they passed by. They saw a new plaque hung on the gate.
Originally, the plaque on the gate said Chengjun Prince's Mansion.
Lin Ye stood in the large courtyard, surrounded by servants coming and going, still doing the final cleaning.
At this time, Yu Song, wearing a servant's clothes, entered the general's mansion.
