C52 (2/2)

Zhou Leping was anxious and impatient, but before the general's wife can come out, no matter how anxious she was, it was useless.

After about a quarter of an hour, the contestant's wife finally came out. She nodded at her while wiping away her tears, ”He has agreed. Even if we were to say 'mother and daughter', he still has to live. What's there to be afraid of? With me here, he won't break down.”

Zhu Guanliang put down the little girl, picked up the medicine box and went in.

Zhou Leping comforted her, ”He has already done meritorious military service. As long as I am here one day, my General's Estate will not mistreat your family.”

The woman covered her face and cried, choking on her sobs.

The fact that the general had returned to the capital was not informed in advance by Zhou Leping, and was not informed by the emperor either. However, recently, there were rumors in the capital that the general had been heavily injured and had been secretly brought back to the capital to be transferred to the General's Estate. It was as if he had colluded with Chu Yu and was discovered by Zhou Leping.

When the rumors reached Zhao Shiqian's ears, although he was unwilling to believe it, he still had to ask clearly in front of all the officials, ”Is this true?”

Even if Zhou Leping didn't use his brain to think, he would still know who created this rumor for her. It must have been Lin Jing's revenge for him to intentionally spread this rumor, it truly was difficult for him to think of such a method, to actually dare speak of it without any proof.

”Reporting to the emperor, Zhou Zheng did not tell this subject about it when he returned to the capital, but Zhou Zheng definitely did not collude with Yu Yu Yu like what the rumors say. He was tricked by the Xianyuer in battle and was forced to return to the capital to treat his injuries after being poisoned by the arrows.”

Lin Jing said, ”Then General, can you explain why he was the only one to return alive after a team of over a hundred people fell into his trap?”

He turned around and said to the emperor, ”This subject investigated, the place where Zhou Zheng and the others were trapped is in a valley, which has two sides standing upright. The walls of the valley are smooth and unobstructed, and if the person who chose to ambush here was not the leader of the group who was too foolish, then he would have already colluded with others, otherwise, the ambush would not have succeeded.”

”Master Lin, Xianyuer is cunning, their attainments in gunpowder equipment are far superior to ours, and as far as I know, Yu Wu and Qi Kingdom are interacted with each other as well. Qi Kingdom is known for their Mechanical Technique, and the few times they suffered losses on Xianyuer's body, it was all because of the Mechanical Technique, and also, when the Master Lin investigated, he should know, the enemy led three thousand men, but our side only has a hundred plus people, even without any cover, we had nowhere to hide.”

”The reason Zhou Zheng was able to survive was because this subordinate wanted to protect him. His brother died at the hands of the Xianyuer, so calling him a lover that was fresh in the world is simply a joke!”

Zhao Shiqian said, ”No matter what, we will naturally send people to investigate. Before we find out the truth of the matter, no one can make a hasty conclusion, we do not want to let down the hearts of the soldiers.”

Lin Jing thought for a while, then lowered his head and said yes.

On the way back, Zhou Leping wanted to buy something to take a look at the Zhou Zheng's wife. When he passed by Chang Ping Street, he saw a few men in front surrounding a woman and pulling.

The woman was still holding the child in her arms as she moved back and forth in panic with her shoulders hunched. The man in the lead became even more agitated when he saw her like this. If you walk alone, how about I send you there? ”

Another man teased her with a mischievous smile, ”Young Master Tang, are you trying to tease her because she's so beautiful?”

The young master surnamed Tang said, ”Nonsense, I'm just helping others for fun. Aren't you afraid that I won't be safe if I walk alone?”

”Yes, yes, yes, little girl. Come, Young Master Tang, send your mother home. I'm here to play with you, okay?”

The woman hugged the child tightly. She could no longer hold back and flared up, ”Young masters, please get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way, I …” I'm going to call for reinforcements! ”
