In his previous life, the clerk was captured by the Xia army. Li Shuangwan had no idea whether he could be brought back with just a steward from the General's Mansion.

So she went to find her grandfather the next day and asked him to send a few secret guards to escort her secretly.

It appears this was a success.

After being anxious for many days, my heart finally came to peace today.

"That's right. Madam He wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor, but was stopped by the imperial guards." Chen Ping said again.

Li Shuangwan's mind moved, and he whispered a few words to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's eyes lit up and he quickly replied "yes".

As soon as Chen Ping left, Li Shuangwan said, "Let's go to the General's Mansion."

Yizhu was a little worried: "Princess, is this not good?"

After all, both the Zhenguo General's Mansion and the He General's Mansion were the homes of military generals. The last time the princess went to remind Madam He, she went through the back door and no one noticed.

If I go now, it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives reported me to the emperor.

Luo Man laughed back and said, "What's wrong with that? It won't hurt to go and have a look. Princess, I also want to go and have a look, but I don't know if Commander Zheng will let Madam He enter the palace."

Li Shuangwan did not speak, thinking back to his previous life. In just over twenty days, in the besieged General's Mansion, several beasts behaved indecently towards the women of the He family and forced several people to death.

The "facts" were set in stone, but Zheng Xinjiang turned a blind eye to what the beast did.

A similar thing almost happened in this life. If she hadn't asked Chen Ping to find those beggars to stay nearby, that day's incident would not have been so easy to get over.

Gu Xingyan and others were also waiting for news about General He's mansion. After Liang Tianyou saw the clerk, he ran towards Gu's mansion.

Miss Li thought far ahead. On the 25th day of the winter month, a messenger came to report that General He was defeated at Yanshan Pass, and ten He family soldiers and 30,000 He family troops were all defeated in the Yanshan Gorge. She went to General He's mansion immediately.

The grief-stricken Madam He was brought back to her senses, and she was asked to immediately send someone to get the military records, bring back the old general's documents, and overturn the case for General He.

But it's not that easy.

A newly promoted steward from a general's mansion had never been to a battlefield, not to mention that the journey was more than 2,000 miles away and was filled with dangers.

Furthermore, since King Qi Lingyun wanted to pin the stigma of being reckless, greedy for merit, and stubborn in using the army on General He, how could he not think of controlling the clerk and tampering with the military intelligence record?

Liang Tianyou ran all the way to Gu Xingyan: "Brother Jiu, the military intelligence records are in hand. Now Ling Yunan can clear the stigma against He Dingan."

He was so excited that he only saw the corners of his master's mouth curled up slightly, and did not notice that Shu Wenbo beside him frowned.

"Tsk tsk, none of these bastards from the Ling family of Northern Jin are good." Liang Tianyou waved his hands excitedly. If he were to say, they from Daliang should just attack directly and destroy the Northern Jin court to save the people of Northern Jin from living such a miserable life.

Heroes were slandered, loyal ministers were exiled, stupid and vicious people were in the position of crown prince, corrupt officials were in power, heavy taxes were imposed, natural disasters and man-made disasters were endless, the common people worked hard for a year, but in the end there were corpses of freezing to death on the roads and some starved to death.

But the emperor in power could only see the illusory peace and prosperity before his eyes, and the fawning of officials. He was also always afraid that his loyal ministers would surpass him in achievements.

"Where is Miss Li?"

Liang Tianyou: "When I first came here, I saw her leaving the house with two maids. Brother Jiu, we have the military records, just present them to Emperor Jingzhang. Are Miss Li and the others here to watch the fun?"

It's so noisy, what's so good about it?

Gu Xingyan stood up and walked out.

Liang Tianyou hurriedly shouted: "Brother Jiu, where are you going?"

Gu Xingyan didn't even turn his head and gave a few instructions to Shu Wenbo who was following him out.

Shu Wenbo pursed his lips, responded in a low voice, then turned around and went to find Ou Jianglin.

Ou Jianglin couldn't understand why his master did this. Logically speaking, the loyal ministers and heroes of the Northern Jin Dynasty were slandered, which aroused public anger. The more chaotic the court of the Northern Jin Dynasty was, the better.

But he didn't dare to say more, and immediately ordered dozens of his subordinates to change into ordinary people's clothes, come out from different doors in batches, and walk towards the general's mansion.

Gu Xingyan walked very quickly. Although he had just met her yesterday, he still wanted to see Wanwan very eagerly.

The crime against General He is very similar to the crime of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" against General Li in his previous life.

The same thing happened: the property was confiscated and the nine generations of the clan were exterminated.

How painful Wanwan's heart must be.

He knew that Li Shuangwan would never let what happened in his previous life happen again.

It was precisely because it was Ling Heng who found the clerk and brought back the military records in his previous life that he was sure that Wanwan would persuade Madam He to send someone to look for this person.

But General He's mansion in Shengjing City only had servants and female relatives, and there were only a few who could take on this important task. Moreover, when the imperial guards surrounded the mansion, they had to check the roster.

If one or two people are missing, as long as they are not the master of the He Mansion, the commander of the imperial guards, Zheng Xinjiang, may not send people to search for them on a large scale because he thinks less trouble is worse than more.

But too much is definitely not enough.

So after he was reborn and came back, he deliberately let Ou Jianglin and others find him the next day. He had already asked Ou Jianglin to send people to Yanshan Pass to find the clerk before Li Shuang.

According to the information he had, the clerk was captured by the Xia army.

It was like climbing to heaven for the housekeeper of General He's mansion to rescue the clerk from the Xia army and bring back the military records before the remains of General He and others were returned to Shengjing.

But he couldn't let Li Shuangwan know.

He instructed the general: "Remember, once you get the person, immediately go to the slave market in Yongzhou. Send another person to lead the person sent by the He Mansion there, find a way to make him discover you, and sell the person to him."

The housekeeper of the He Mansion naturally recognized the clerk beside the old general.

That clerk was also a capable man. In his previous life, he had been able to keep the military intelligence records in the Xia Kingdom for four years, and finally made the truth known to the world with the help of Ling Heng. He must have hidden the records in a safe place before being captured.

"Yes." The general accepted the order.

"After arriving in Shengjing City, we must find a way to get the clerk to read out the military records in front of the He Mansion."

"Yes."

"Be sure to protect them along the way, but don't let them find you."

"The last general takes orders."

"Don't be too deliberate. Just make sure they get some injuries, big or small, but don't lose their lives."

Emperor Jingzhang was a suspicious person. He thought it was impossible for the clerk to travel 2,000 miles back to Shengjing without any injury. This would greatly reduce the credibility of the military records.

The general was confused, but the Ninth Prince, who had just been found by Chief Steward Ou, was so powerful that he did not dare to ask more questions and immediately set off with a dozen of his subordinates with superb martial arts skills.

Gu Xingyan also found out a few days later that Li Shuangwan went to Zhu's house the next day and asked Mr. Zhu to send secret guards to chase after him and protect him secretly.

But the Zhu Mansion’s secret guards are still far from enough.

And at this moment, in General He’s mansion.

Old Madam He, dressed in plain clothes, holding three volumes of blood-stained military records, and with the other plain-dressed women of the He family, stood at the gate of the General's Mansion to confront the besieged imperial guards.
