Chapter 886 Isn’t he General Dingyuan Wang Yuanlu?
"Like...Like the dialect from outside the Great Wall, because there are people here who can speak the dialect from outside the Great Wall. I have heard it before."
"One last question. Was there anything unusual before your wife disappeared? Did she leave you a lot of money or letters?"
The nurse nodded immediately, "She must have left some silver behind! I went to Madam's room and saw that there were still 1,000 taels of silver notes and some loose change in the silver box, as well as a pair of mandarin duck pendants and some clothes, and nothing else.
If we didn’t have this money, our family would not be able to survive. Later, I guessed that the lady must have left on her own, and the remaining money was used to take care of the young master. "
"We will find a safe place for you next. Don't worry. We won't make things difficult for you." Jiang Youzhen said a few simple words of comfort, then left the room and returned to his own room.
"What do you think?" Li Dongsheng asked.
"The answer is obvious, isn't it?" Jiang Youzhen sneered.
"Could that concubine be from outside the Great Wall? Do you think she is from Kangguo or Beiming? Anyway, these two are eyeing us covetously and are more rampant than other small countries and tribes!" Li Dongsheng frowned.
"It doesn't really matter what country she is from. The most important thing is who she is." Jiang Youzhen took out the portrait and spread it on the table.
Li Dongsheng was about to take it and look at it carefully to recall it, but Jiang Youzhen sneered and said, "Don't you remember who he is? Isn't he General Wang Yuanlu of Dingyuan?"
Li Dongsheng was startled and quickly took the portrait from the table and looked at it carefully. Then he remembered that he had seen General Dingyuan come to their house to pay a visit to his grandfather when he was a child. However, it had been so long that he could not remember the general's appearance.
"How can you be sure that he is General Dingyuan? General Dingyuan is dedicated to guarding the border for the country, how could he have anything to do with the outside world? If it is really him, then why would he investigate the collusion between Prince Yuanming and the outside world?"
"If you don't believe it, take the portrait and ask the local garrison soldiers. Who else could have asked Chen Xudao to help conceal the truth if not Wang Yuanlu? This woman is from outside the Great Wall, and that cousin is in her group. Maybe the general has fallen into their trap!" Jiang Youzhen analyzed.
Li Dongsheng still couldn't believe it, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The general would not betray the court."
"Whether he betrayed the court or not, let's not discuss it for now. Maybe he is loyal, but there is no guarantee that his bedmate will tell him something. Those people placed that woman next to him, there must be some use for her, usually just passing on information is enough.
Nowadays, it takes a thousand days to raise an army and only one day to deploy it! Do you think it is a coincidence that these two people disappeared at about the same time?"
"Are you saying that the general's disappearance is related to this woman? If this woman's purpose was to get close to the general, then what about the child? She gave birth to a son for him, why didn't she take the child with her?
I am more inclined to believe that they were all arrested because the woman knew the general's secret, so they arrested another woman." Li Dongsheng also analyzed.
“If they captured General Dingyuan and wanted to learn something from him, they would definitely not keep this child.
Since they have already arrested the woman, wouldn't it be reasonable to arrest the child and use it as a threat? So the matter is very simple, the woman saved the child. "Jiang Youzhen shook his head.
"You make sense! What about General Dingyuan? Is he still alive?" Li Dongsheng just felt a headache. Why were things becoming more and more complicated?
"I'm afraid it's a dangerous situation!" If the tiger talisman has not been taken away, it means that General Dingyuan still has some conscience.
But once those people touch General Dingyuan and he wants to deal with Prince Yuanming, it means that they will definitely make a big move.
Li Dongsheng sighed, and suddenly an idea occurred to him, "Then let's start with the child. If the woman is really a spy, she will definitely come back and take the child away. After all, it is her own child."
"Do you think she will come back? I heard that the people of Northern Ming attach great importance to bloodline, and the children born from intermarriage with foreigners are of impure bloodline. Even if you bring her back, she will be bullied. It is better to leave the child here. Anyway, there is a wet nurse to take care of her, and we can make plans for the future."
After hearing Jiang Youzhen's analysis, Li Dongsheng suddenly realized.
"No wonder you asked the wet nurse if she left any silver. If the lady she mentioned left on her own, then the more than one thousand taels of silver left behind must be used to raise the child." Li Dongsheng nodded, suddenly realizing.
"So what are your plans next? I'm afraid that woman won't come back. With your analysis just now, I also think that woman might be from Northern Ming.
In this case, General Dingyuan is probably in the hands of the Northern Ming Kingdom. Their purpose is definitely to cause unrest at the border, and General Dingyuan has the tiger talisman in his hand. If it falls into the hands of these people, the consequences will be disastrous. "
Li Dongsheng sighed again, "The general is so foolish! He is responsible for the safety of the border, but he still hangs out with a woman from outside the border. He knows that the other party's identity is suspicious, but he still keeps her as a concubine.
It must be that he had a secret meeting with that woman, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him. Otherwise, who in the military camp could do anything to him?"
"It's too late to talk about this now. I will bring people to check on the general tomorrow. You go to the courtyard outside the south city and interrogate Chen Xudao again. I don't believe he knows nothing." Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly.
"Okay!" Li Dongsheng nodded.
"And this Chen Xudao is really out of his mind! We were already confused when we came to help investigate the case at the border, but he still wanted to make false evidence to confuse us and make us go around in circles. He is so stupid!" Li Dongsheng snorted coldly.
"If he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have been tricked. I've been out for too long. I'll be staying at Prince Yuanming's residence for the next two days. You have to be careful of Ke Zhenqiu. He's not a simple person. He might be in collusion with people outside the Great Wall."
"What? Wasn't Ke Zhenqiu sent by the imperial court to assist you? How come he is colluding with those outside the Great Wall again? What chance does he have to collude with those outside the Great Wall?" Li Dongsheng was shocked again.
Jiang Youzhen then told Li Dongsheng about putting the blame on Prince Yuanming, and Li Dongsheng also felt that Ke Zhenqiu was very suspicious.
"This imperial court is really riddled with holes due to infiltration."
"Oh, right! Where is the tiger talisman? We must find it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the enemy invades, we won't be able to command thousands of troops. Isn't that the end?" Li Dongsheng was a little anxious.
"I've got some clues! The place where the tiger talisman is hidden should not be far away. I will find a chance to go there. I hope it hasn't been stolen yet!"
Jiang Youzhen stood up and prepared to return to Prince Yuanming's residence.
"Then the wedding at the general's mansion should be tomorrow, right?" Li Dongsheng suddenly thought.
"Yes! So we must go to meet tomorrow, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise!" Jiang Youzhen smiled meaningfully.
She would have to make careful arrangements when she returned and try to take control of the situation as soon as possible.
