This morning, the capital was in turmoil.
The benefactor of Yanyu Tower had a spring night. When he left at dawn, the white cloth fluttered above his head. When he raised his eyes, he saw that there was writing on the white cloth.
People who come here love to have fun, and they naturally like to watch the excitement. They just thought it was something new happening in the building, and out of curiosity, they asked Mr. Turtle to take off the white cloth.
Several people gathered around to read the content above, and their originally playful expressions gradually turned serious.
Written in black characters on this white cloth is the whole process of how 20,000 National Guard troops were trapped in Huangsha Ridge and died in battle.
As well as the fact that General Wei ordered people to go to Ganzhou to mobilize troops, but was chased and killed by Wu Yuchu, the then Ganzhou Jiedushi.
The reactions of these people attracted the curiosity of others. More and more people gathered around, but no one made any noise anymore.
"Beast, even an ignorant and unskilled man knows that the National Guards are protecting the Wei Dynasty, but a treacherous villain actually stabbed the soldiers in the back and killed them. They really deserve to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
Suddenly, a loud shout broke the strange calm.
Then a second person said, "I heard before that the nephew of the Wu family left a blood letter and committed suicide. Now that he tells it like a personal experience, I'm afraid it's true."
"Wudan attempted to annex the Wei Dynasty since the founding of the late emperor. Generations of soldiers from the national defense army fought bravely to defeat the enemy, and then drove Wudan back. In the end, he died while his own people stood by and watched. It is abominable and hateful!"
"Many heroes die in vain, and traitors mess up the world..."
The patrons of Yanyu Tower were so angry after seeing this, let alone the students from several major academies in the capital.
Yes, similar white cloths are not only hung in Yanyu Tower, but also at the entrance of the academy, where people gather in the morning market, the most populous city gate, and even the vegetable market entrance where criminals are executed. have.
What kind of white cloth is this? This is shocking and tragic!
The truth about Huangshaling quickly spread to every corner of the capital, and people were outraged.
The students gathered at the gate of the palace and asked the emperor to find out the truth and severely punish the traitors, so as to restore the souls of the 20,000 soldiers who died in the battle to protect the country.
People gathered around the door of the Wu Mansion, and no one knew who was in charge. A rotten egg was smashed out, and countless rotten vegetable leaves and even feces appeared on the door of the Wu Mansion.
There was an old man crying hoarsely, and her unmarried grandson was one of the twenty thousand.
There is a veteran with blood-red eyes who hates the Wu family. After he was injured on the battlefield, his son took his place in the National Defense Army.
He had just made meritorious service on the Wudan battlefield, and died tragically in Huangshaling before he could even meet his family.
There are also women who bring their children and grit their teeth to make them remember their father's blood feud...
Mrs. Wu's face was as pale as the white clothes on her body, completely drained of color.
"Mother, my son will take the guards out to drive the people away." The eldest son of Wu Mansion was about to leave with an angry look on his face.
"Confused." Mrs. Wu stopped her son, "Don't act rashly."
She knew very well that the other party had no evidence, so she used these methods to force the emperor to investigate and force her into chaos. She must not fall into the other party's trap.
Fortunately, the children were not involved in these matters and could withstand the interrogation, and the master was dead. As long as she did not admit it, no one could find her.
Nowadays, there are not many people left who know about that matter.
Her eyes moved to the woman serving beside her. She was her personal maid and now the steward of the mansion, Grandma Chen.
He is her most capable helper, the person who knows her most secrets, and the person who is most likely to be taken in for questioning.
She had to die, but no one could tell.
We also have to try to find out the person who did all this. If he knows the inside story so well, will there be anyone left alive after the battle at Huangshaling?
If he is really the survivor of Huangshaling, he must avenge those 20,000 people. How to lure him out and kill him?
Mrs. Wu slowly closed her eyelids, thinking in her mind...
Gong Mansion.
Gong Mingcheng took leave today, but the news outside still reached his ears early in the morning.
He hurriedly ordered someone to call his eldest son over, "You followed Miss Chang yesterday. Did she go out?"
"When her son followed her to the house, he saw that the lights in her room were out, and he just returned to her room."
The father and son of the Gong family have a good relationship. Yesterday, Gong Jun learned from his father what Wei Qingyan wanted Gong Minglu to do. After hearing this, he asked suspiciously, "Father, do you think those things outside were done by Miss Chang?"
It must be related.
But Miss Chang didn't do it herself, so he wasn't sure.
Appearing in several places overnight without being noticed by anyone, that was such a skill that even his brother-in-law might not be able to match it even if he were alive.
Thinking of his brother-in-law, his eyebrows skipped a beat, "Okay, you go back, I'll go see your mother."
This matter cannot be hidden.
But before the father and son could go out, they saw Wei Shiran running towards him with disheveled hair. Her eyes were red, "Are those rumors spread outside true? Who is complaining for my brother? Is there anyone left alive in the battle at Huangshaling?" Is the person who came down Yan Qing?"
She asked several questions in succession. After Gong Mingcheng was silent for a moment, he finally told his wife about what happened at Anyuanhou Mansion yesterday and his suspicions.
"Miss Chang?" Wei Shiran was stunned, "Does she know my brother? Does she want to avenge my brother?"
"Madam, seeing what Miss Chang wants, I don't want to say more about this." Gong Mingcheng sat his wife down on a chair and held her hair.
"What she did is also what we want to do. She has already made an agreement with her second brother where the Gong family is needed, so we should not disturb her plan.
Just play it by ear in the future, okay? My husband promises you that I will never back down from the hatred between the National Guard Army and Qing Yan, okay? "
No one knew what kind of sacrifices her brother had made for Wei. Just thinking of her unjust death made Wei Shiran's heart feel as painful as thousands of ants gnawing at her.
But she also understood that she was not only the daughter of the Wei family, but also the wife of the Gong family, and she could not ignore the Gong family in her thoughts and deeds. Then she thought of Miss Chang who looked innocent and a little distant, and finally nodded.
People are avenging her brother, and she doesn't like repaying kindness and annoying people. "It's me who is useless. I failed my father's trust. I'm sorry for Qing Yan..."
Wei Shiran beat her chest and cried bitterly.
When Wei Qingyan saw her, her eyes were swollen to the point of being almost transparent.
After thinking about it for a moment, Wei Qingyan knew why she was crying.
She let Gong Minglou see the scene in Huangshaling yesterday, and today it spread throughout the streets. It was not difficult for Gong Mingcheng to guess that it was her fault.
But seeing Wei Shiran crying like this, she finally asked her doubts, "Mrs. Gong cares about Wei Qingyan very much? But I haven't heard that you two siblings are close before."
Wei Shiran smiled bitterly, "She is my only brother, we are related by blood, how could I not care.
But please forgive me, girl, there are some things I can’t tell you. I heard from my husband that she and Qingyan are friends, so I would like to thank the girl for my brother. "
Thank you for everything you have done for my brother.
She refused to say anything, and Wei Qingyan stopped asking.
They were called here to talk about Gong Changying.
She looked at Gong Mingcheng, "Is the housekeeper here?"
The housekeeper was standing guard outside and was quickly brought to him by Gong Jun.
"Is the old housekeeper your father?" Wei Qingyan asked.
The housekeeper was born in the Gong Mansion and had been with Gong Mingcheng since he was a child. After the old housekeeper passed away, he took over his father's position. He was very good at observing people's words and knew that his master valued this girl, so he hurriedly responded, "Yes. "
"Before your father died, he said he was sorry, master. Why?"
