Back then, Jiang Yang, the only survivor of the Jiang family, fell into a coma after being hit by an arrow, and was later rescued by the local people by chance, and hid at home to recuperate from his injuries.

At that time, everyone in the court believed that there was no one left in the Jiang family. Later, Jiang Yang ignored the dissuasion of his fellow villagers, and his injuries had not yet healed. of the city.

It was only then that the court found out that the Jiang family was full of heroes, and fortunately they still had a bloodline, and the rest of the soldiers guarding the city were almost exhausted in the one-month defense without reinforcements and food surplus.

Later, when the court learned about the battle situation of defending the city at that time, and the reason why the city gate fell, most of it was learned from Jiang Yang.

In other words, apart from Jiang Yang himself, the situation at that time was the clearest. Others only saw the final result, and the people in the city only knew that the city was defeated, the Jiang family died in battle, and the Northern Qin cavalry broke through the city.

And for many years in the court, no one had ever suspected that Jiang Yang would lie.

However, Jiang Yu's appearance made this group of doubts that had been tacitly accepted by everyone for many years cleared away.

Fei Yusu ordered people to find the veterans who had fought side by side with Jiang's family at that time, went door to door to investigate the fighting situation, found the old man who rescued Jiang Yang, and asked the surviving local people.

After many verifications, I finally discovered the flaws in Jiang Yang's almost perfect rhetoric.

Jiang Yang said that when the city was broken, it was because someone in the city couldn't hold on, defected to the enemy, and opened the city gate. Later, when General Jiang found out, he immediately killed the general.

However, after several times of picketing by the Fengzi army, they found that the words about the general who "survived the enemy" and the surviving Jiang family army were extremely vague.

Some said that this person was the deputy general next to General Jiang, some said that he was the heir sent by a high-ranking official elsewhere, and some said that he had never heard of such a person.

But Jiang Yang's remarks back then clearly stated that this person's military background was that he was just a middle-aged general of ordinary background. Nailed on the pillar of shame in Daqing.

However, after careful investigation, this person has no wife and children, his parents are both deceased, and he has no other support in the world except himself. Even if he wants to investigate, he has no way to start.

In a sense, he was the most suitable scapegoat.

If that's all, that's all. In the end, there is no way to prove it, nor can it be concluded that Jiang Yang lied.

It's just that the Fengzi Army also investigated and found that among the surviving soldiers, none of them had seen Jiang Xinyue lead the troops to meet the enemy after the city was broken.

This has to arouse doubts. You must know that Jiang Xinyue, as the most proud daughter and general of General Jiang at that time, would never abandon her at such a critical moment.

In addition to the situation at that time, every soldier who could hold a sword had to resist the enemy with his body, to buy precious time for the people in the city to escape, and to avoid the tragic fate of being massacred by the Northern Qin cavalry.

Moreover, the battle situation at that time was extremely tragic and chaotic. For many surviving generals, it was enough to remember their entire lives, and the experience that made them wake up from nightmares every time.

In the end, it was the old man who rescued Jiang Yang who really brought the truth to Feng Zijun.

This old man, decades ago, was actually the head of an alley for ten miles and eight streets.

There is a custom in the border town that if a person in a block dies of illness or dies, before the funeral, the head of the village must be invited to come to the house to pray for the deceased.

In fact, the translation is roughly that in the home of the deceased, talk about the good deeds the deceased did during his lifetime, and ask the local excited five meat gods to protect his peace and health in the next life, so that he can also get blessings.

Because of the need to contact the dead, most of these chiefs will take on another job. Some people call this kind of person a scavenger, and some people call him a black whip.

To put it simply, there are always some people who have no family and friends after death, or the children of the old man shirk each other and are unwilling to provide for the funeral, or there are old people who don’t want to make things difficult for their children after death.

In this situation, no one can organize funerals for them, so the neighbors in the neighborhood pooled some money, and Heibianer was responsible for coming to the door to dispose of the corpse after the death, wrapping it in felt, praying for the funeral, and taking care of it all by one person. Do not implicate others.

Even if you have some fate with Heibianer before you die, Heibianer will give you a memorial tablet so that you can eat some incense in the ground.

Because everyone thinks that they may be old and sick, and there will be such a day, so although each family does not pay a lot of money, it adds up to a certain amount, and it is also regarded as a special kind of humanism among the local people. feature.

During wartime, or famine years, snowstorms and floods, in short, natural disasters and man-made disasters, there are many unclaimed corpses on the street, and the black whip will take on the responsibility of disposing of these corpses to prevent disease or malaria from passing through the corpses spread.

Because he always has to deal with the dead, Hei Whip'er will naturally be more respected in the community. When he goes out for a walk on the street on weekdays, the vegetables, fruits and vegetables given by the neighbors are enough to live on. Even if he has to spend money to buy them, no one else will Dare or unwilling to let him pay the money, he is willing to give it away for nothing, so in peacetime, Heibian'er's life can be considered easy.

This is the case with the old man who has a relationship with Jiang Yang.

When he first discovered Jiang Yang, it was not long after the war that he helped gather up the corpses of soldiers on the street. If he found any still alive, he dragged them back to the cellar where the corpses were originally stored, and secretly treated them.

This is how Jiang Yang was discovered. When the old man saw Jiang Yang, he was shot by an arrow and still had knife wounds on his body. He was lying among a pile of corpses, dying.

At the time, he thought that such a serious injury would be impossible to save, but because he recognized that Jiang Yang belonged to the Jiang family, he ran away at the risk of harboring a "wanted criminal" under the noses of Beiqin people. A doctor was called to save him.

Originally up to here, the old man's narration and Jiang Yang's statement are mutually confirmed, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the problem is that at that time, all the soldiers who fell off their horses and died or survived had injuries from being trampled by the horses and the crowd.

But Jiang Yang fell from his horse with an arrow and was lying injured on the street. The streets were full of fighting enemy soldiers and soldiers. How could it be possible that his body was not trampled?

The old man was pure and kind-hearted, and never had any doubts. He was just a little surprised. He was also surprised that Jiang Yang was probably blessed because of the Jiang family's merits and good deeds, so he survived.

But Feng Zijun didn't believe in coincidences, so he followed this clue and traced all the way, finally found out the truth of the year.
