Lin Tao said he had something important to confess, and no one took it seriously at first.

The Dali Temple Minister barely pulled himself together to interrogate.

But as soon as Lin Tao opened his mouth, everyone standing there was stunned.

"General Xie is a traitor to the country!" Lin Tao said.

The Dali Temple Minister's eyes widened, and when he recovered, he immediately slammed the gavel: "How dare you make random accusations against the court officials!"

Lin Tao said: "I didn't make random accusations! I have evidence!"

The Dali Temple Minister's heart sank, and he asked: "What evidence?"

"My aunt knows that three years ago, when fighting with the grassland people, General Xie had someone leak the border city defense map in advance! The person in charge of the transaction was my aunt's confidant, and I overheard it at the time!" Lin Tao said.

The Dali Temple Minister felt his scalp tingling at this moment. He carefully recalled the war three years ago. At that time, General Xie was also the main fighter. Although he won in the end, it was a tragic victory. General Xie himself was seriously injured and his life was in danger several times. It was only after the court urgently sent several old doctors to save General Xie's life.

It was precisely because of this that the Dali Temple Minister always felt that this matter was a bit strange. After all, even if it was a show, General Xie was too desperate. How could he not even want his own life.

"Tell the truth about the specific process of the matter, and don't hide anything!" The Dali Temple Minister said sternly.

In order to survive, Lin Tao naturally did not dare to hide anything, but he only talked about Mrs. Xie's transaction, but did not mention that Mrs. Xie used most of the money she earned to buy property for her family.

As soon as Mrs. Xie returned home, she immediately invited the housekeeper over. She said in a rare good tone: "Old housekeeper, don't rush to tell the general about the things in the capital. He has a lot of things to do in the border city. Don't let this distract him and affect the war situation."

It has only been two years since the old housekeeper retired from the battlefield, and his eyes are still as accurate as a sword.

"Madam, I am the eyes and ears of the general in the capital. Even if I lose my life, I will not forget the mission entrusted to me by the general." The old housekeeper said.

Mrs. Xie's face suddenly became ugly: "Am I not your master?"

The old housekeeper said: "This is the general's mansion, and the general's affairs are the first priority. As for the things that the lady is worried about, there is no need to worry about them now."

Mrs. Xie was full of doubts.

The old housekeeper continued: "The letter has been sent out a long time ago, and it should have passed Linzhou by now."

Mrs. Xie's face was ashen.

The old housekeeper did not continue to pay attention to her, but turned and walked out.

Mrs. Lin was still crying for her good son, but Mrs. Xie was like an ant on a hot pot. She was afraid that General Xie would scold her for what happened during her time in the capital.

But the officials from the Dali Temple scolded her faster than her husband.

"How dare you treat me like this? I am the wife of an official! How can you treat me like this?" Mrs. Xie scolded.

But all of them were instructed by the Dali Temple, and they knew that Mrs. Xie's lawsuit was of great importance. Even if people from General Xie's mansion came to inquire, they dared not leave any wind.

Mrs. Xie was almost dragged into the Dali Temple. Her clothes were pulled and wrinkled, her hairpins were messy, and she looked very embarrassed.

When facing the Dali Temple, Mrs. Xie slowly straightened her sleeves and then questioned him: "My husband is General Xie, who has been stationed in the border city for many years and has been loyal to the country. Your treatment of his relatives like this will not make the border soldiers feel cold?"

Mrs. Xie never thought that she came here at this time because she was involved in the transaction three years ago. After all, she did it secretly and it has been so long. She thought it was over.

When the Dali Temple spoke, she opened her mouth in disbelief, and immediately retorted after a moment: "Nonsense, there is no such thing, who said it?"

Although she did such a big thing, she has always been a pampered official wife. Her subtle expression did not hide the eyes of the Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple slammed the gavel hard: "How dare you, what's the truth? Why don't you tell the truth?"

Mrs. Xie trembled with fear, but she still refused to admit that it happened. She only said: "My husband fought bravely, how could I do this! Someone must have made up a story to harm our general's mansion!"

The Dali Temple raised his eyebrows. According to Lin Tao, this matter was led by General Xie and Mrs. Xie was the person in charge.

But now looking at Mrs. Xie's words, it seems that General Xie is unaware of it.

Mrs. Xie still has a fantasy at this time, thinking that she is the wife of an official and her husband is still a general, and the other party dare not torture her casually.

But soon someone came to the ear of the Dali Temple and whispered a few words.

Mrs. Xie's heart fell straight down.

Sure enough, the next moment the Dali Temple said: "The two people you sent to be in charge of the transaction that day have confessed. They said that they were instructed by Mrs. Xie. The evidence is conclusive. Mrs. Xie, do you have anything else to say?"

Mrs. Xie's face was pale and the whole person was shaky.

The Dali Temple Minister continued, "Were you ordered by General Xie?"

Mrs. Xie thought of her husband, and she said, "Yes! General Xie ordered me to do it!"

Mrs. Xie thought that she could wrongly accuse her husband. She knew that her husband had his own helplessness. He had a mistress at the border because he didn't want to suffer at the border. But she still hated him in her heart, thinking that it was because of her husband's inaction that her son was killed.

She knew very well that if her husband was in the capital when her son was sick, his death would not have changed much.

But she would always remember the pain of her son's body gradually getting cold in her arms. She could not get over it at all. Her husband sent another "son" in the shortest time, forcing her to admit that it was her Cheng Bao.

She hated her husband and Xie Xingchuan, and she wanted everyone to be buried with her.

"And Xie Xingchuan, my son, he is also involved in this!" Mrs. Xie's eyes were red. She didn't care anymore. She just wanted to drag as many people as possible into the water.

The Dali Temple official frowned and asked, "This matter was reported by Lin Tao. Didn't Lin Tao participate?"

Mrs. Xie was shocked. She didn't expect that her own nephew would actually bring a fatal blow.

Mrs. Xie was silent for a long time before asking, "If he had not participated in this, would he have survived because of his report?"

The Dali Temple official shook his head and said, "For such a big thing, from the moment he chose to confess, not only he, but also his family members would not be able to survive. After all, they are also your relatives. You have committed a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of your family."

Mrs. Xie collapsed to the ground immediately.

The Dali Temple official asked again, "What did General Xie instruct you to do? Tell me everything."
