After listening to Zhou You's narration, Di Renjie couldn't help but frown and ask with a face changing: "You mean, there is a group of people in purple who want to kill Qiu Jing, and Li Kaigu recognized them as officers and soldiers under Wang Xiaojie?"

"Yes, one of the surviving men in purple confessed that a general named Su Honghui under Wang Xiaojie sent them there," Zhou Youlian said.

"Where is this person now?" Di Renjie asked quickly, while Zhou You said slightly embarrassed: "In order to interrogate him, I stabbed his thigh with a sword. I thought he was a burden, so I didn't take him with me. I think he must have been given to him by Li Kaigu.

Take it away!"

Di Renjie didn't know what to say when he heard this: "Zhou You, you... how could you give such an important witness..."

"Sir, do you really think those men in purple were sent by Wang Xiaojie to kill Qiu Jing?" Zhou You asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Di Renjie, who raised his brows, looked at Zhou You who was slightly silent before saying, "Don't you think so?"

Zhou You was noncommittal: "Your Excellency, Qiu Jing has been dismissed from his post and held accountable. It is difficult for him to escape the involvement in the defeat of Shigu in Dongxia. Even if he does not die, the end will not be much better. Why would Wang Xiaojie bother to do this again and directly intercept him just to kill him?"

How is killing Qian Niuwei any different from rebellion? How can Qiu Jing be worth Wang Xiaojie's risk?"

"Perhaps Qiu Jing had some big clues about Wang Xiaojie that made Wang Xiaojie want to kill him at all costs," Zeng Tai said from the side.

Li Yuanfang couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's right! Qiu Jing must know something, and it must be related to the truth about the defeat in Dongxi Shigu, so Wang Xiaojie wanted to silence her. Zhou You, you don't know, we accompanied you incognito before

After an investigation, I found that the officers and soldiers under Wang Xiaojie actually killed good people and took credit for their crimes, massacred all the people in Dongliulin Town, including men, women, old and children, leaving not a single person alive!"

"That scene is really terrible," Zeng Tai couldn't help but sigh and said: "Moreover, as soon as we and our mentor entered the city, we heard that Chongzhou Governor Shi and Sima were captured by Wang Xiaojie because they got close to Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu.

They were imprisoned and committed suicide out of fear of crime at the same time. This is such a coincidence that it is really hard not to doubt the cause of their death."

"Yes! One after another, everything seems to point to Wang Xiaojie," Zhou You said meaningfully: "Sir, don't you think everything is too coincidental? We came to Chongzhou to investigate what we learned from the secret investigation.

Everything turned out to be unfavorable to Wang Xiaojie. Could it be that the Chongzhou case is really that simple, and that the defeat in Dongxi Shigu was only the result of Wang Xiaojie? Everything seems to be a coincidence and a bit deliberate."

"Deliberately?" Di Renjie frowned upon hearing this, while Zhou You continued: "Sir, when I went to Helan Yi to investigate before, I found that the man in purple was still there, as if he was waiting for me to come. I saw it

The people in purple clothes were with the officers and soldiers, and they also felt that someone wanted me to see this scene."

"Later, we followed those people in purple and found that they suddenly changed lanes on the way. When we arrived at Dongliulin Town, I also found corpses stacked in some rooms, and I also found that they seemed to be looking for something," Zhou You continued.

Di Renjie's expression changed when he heard this: "Oh, you mean, those people in purple have also been to Dongliulin Town? And they changed roads temporarily to rush there?"

"Sir, you also went to Dongliulin Town. Did those people in purple rush there after getting the news? How did they know where you went to investigate incognito?" Zhou Youlian said.

"Zhou You, please continue, what did you gain in Dongliulin Town?" Di Renjie asked continuously.

Zhou You, who nodded slightly, continued: "I killed the masked woman in white who was the leader of those purple-clothed people, and got the Tangbao they brought out from Helanyi. But the strange thing is that these Tangbao were actually issued by Qiu Jing, the governor of Chongzhou.

From the imperial court.”

"Qiu Jing's Tang Bao?" Di Renjie was a little surprised when he heard it, and Zhou You also said: "Yes, they are all Qiu Jing's Tang Bao! Not one of them is Wang Xiaojie's Tang Bao? Do you think it's normal?"

Even if there is something wrong with Wang Xiaojie, it is impossible for him not to even have a report to the Ministry of War if the battle lasts for so long, right?"

"But I didn't find it. What does that mean?" Zhou You shook his head and said, and Di Renjie also continued with a gleam in his eyes: "It means those people in purple don't want us to see Wang Xiaojie's newspaper, or in other words, they just want us to

I saw Qiu Jing’s newspaper.”

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Wang Xiaojie's Tangbao and Qiu Jing's Tangbao. Is there any difference between their Tangbao?" Di Ruyan on the side scratched her head slightly.

Even Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang frowned when they heard this, as if they couldn't follow Zhou You and Di Renjie's thoughts.

"Understood," Di Renjie looked at Zhou You and smiled, and Zhou You also smiled and said: "Sir, before coming here, the Holy Father asked me to ask Wang Xiaojie about the defeat of Dongxi Shigu. It seems that I will look back.

We need to find an opportunity to have a good chat with this general."

"There seems to be a lot of hidden things about Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu's rebellion!" Di Renjie couldn't help but nodded and said: "Our top priority now is to deal with Li Kaigu's rebellion. And Qiu Jing, if he really has any grievances

, I will give him a chance to plead his case. Zeng Tai, please quickly pass on my order and ask General Quan Shancai to send scouts into the Helan Mountains to first detect where Li Kaigu's rebels are."

"Sir, there is no need to go to such trouble. There are people from my inner guard in Li Kaigu's army. I know their positions very well. Your Excellency only needs to send people to convey the message. As long as Li Kaigu and Qiu Jing really have any grievances that are difficult to distinguish, I think they will take the initiative.

Back," Zhou Youlian said.

Di Renjie couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Haha, okay! It seems that we have been biased against internal guards in the past. At least, the internal guards you have around are really useful at critical moments, and the intelligence is accurate and timely

.”

"Haha, I don't dare to work for the emperor without two brushes," Zhou You said with a smile.

"You are so immodest!" Di Ruyan rolled her eyes and said, "Your internal guards are so powerful. Have you found out the specific reason why the Youwei army was defeated in Dongxi Shigu?"

Zhou You shook his head and smiled helplessly: "We internal guards are not omnipotent. If we can do everything, then there is no need for you to make a special trip to Chongzhou to investigate. I will ask Wang Xiaojie to find out the specific situation.

For a moment. However, I found that Miss Ruyan, you seem to be really curious about my inner guard!"

"I just want my uncle to investigate the case as soon as possible!" Di Ruyan curled her lips and said, "But now it seems that the Chongzhou case is becoming more and more complicated and confusing."

"The so-called responsibility and confusion are just because we have not grasped the key context of the case," Zhou Youze said: "Once we grasp the backbone of this case, we can pull out all the relevant elements like pulling out a carrot and pulling out the mud.

Everyone and everything is clearly understood.”

"Haha, this metaphor of traveling is quite appropriate," Di Renjie smiled and nodded.

"Sir, I'm going to see Wang Xiaojie first," Zhou You said and turned around to leave.

Di Renjie also ordered Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang who were standing aside: "Zeng Tai, go to Li Kaigu's camp in person and persuade him to go back anyway. Yuanfang, you go with Zeng Tai and be sure to bring Qiu Jing back."
