The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality
Chapter 258 The scapegoat
After reading the message in his hand, Cheng Jiuyuan showed a smile on his face.
The letter said that Jiang Xiubai had obtained evidence of Wei Tiankuang's treason and was sending someone to escort the evidence back to Beijing.
Although she has a backup plan, it would be better to get real evidence.
It is easy to obtain evidence, but it is difficult to send it to the capital.
In the Wei family military camp, Wei Tiankuang looked at the intelligence in his hand and frowned slightly.
"It seems that someone wants to kill this general."
The general beside him stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I will personally lead the troops to intercept them."
"Go ahead and make sure you do it cleanly."
"Yes."
The general was about to leave when Wei Tiankuang stopped him and said, "Don't let Xiu Bai know about this."
The general was obviously stunned, "The general is suspicious..."
Wei Tiankuang shook his head, "No. This child doesn't know what happened in the past, and I'm afraid he will think too much."
"The general has been very kind to him over the years. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is like a second parent to him. He will understand the general."
"Go ahead and find out who is behind this."
"Do I need to ask who is behind this? It must be Prince Rui!"
"This general has always felt that this matter is not so simple. If the people of King Rui were so powerful, they would have broken into the Northern Qi Palace and obtained evidence. I don't know if it's because of my age, but I've been having nightmares recently, and my eyelids have been twitching non-stop."
"General, you are overthinking. Your daughter is the Queen of Dongling, your grandson is the Crown Prince of Dongling, and your granddaughter is the Queen of Northern Qi. You have the final say in this world."
A smile appeared on Wei Tiankuang's face and he waved his hand: "Go and do your work."
"Yes."
After everyone went out, Wei Tiankuang rubbed his knees.
The weather is getting cold and my old illness is about to flare up again.
Fortunately, Qi Zhen had successfully ascended the throne in Northern Qi. If Qing'er worked hard and had a child, then Dongling and Northern Qi would really be decided by his Wei family.
Conditions in the border town are difficult, and he is getting older, so he might as well stay in the capital and enjoy his life while he returns to Beijing to report on his work this year.
It's time for him to slowly let go and let the young people take over.
Pianpian has also reached the age to get married, and is a perfect match for Xiubai.
The military power was given to Xiang Ming, and Xiu Bai was asked to assist him.
……
In the past few months, Jiang Xiubai's prestige in the army has become higher and higher, and he has also been secretly building up his own power.
Soon, he learned that Wei Tiankuang had sent people to intercept the evidence, but he had no reason to leave the barracks, so he had to secretly contact the people from Wuyingtang.
The people from Wuyingtang are best at extracting information. Being attacked from both sides by Wei Tiankuang and Wei Xiangming, they have no chance of winning.
Cheng Jiuyuan had already anticipated this.
Cheng Jiuyuan and Chu Heng hit it off immediately and decided that Chu Ze must take the blame.
Then Chu Ze got a piece of news - someone in the Wei family army rebelled and sent people to the Northern Qi palace to steal the evidence that could put Wei Tiankuang to death.
Chu Ze was overjoyed.
Although Chu Heng said that he could forge evidence, the forged evidence could never compare to the real thing.
Chu Ze sent out his strongest force overnight to provide support.
However, all the talents that the Wei family has recruited over the years have gone through life and death situations before they are qualified to become the Wei family's secret guards.
Eighty to ninety percent of Chu Ze's men were killed, but they still did not bring back any evidence.
In the Wei family camp, the general placed a bundle on Wei Tiankuang's desk and said, "General, I have fulfilled my mission."
Wei Tiankuang opened the bundle and found that it was full of letters between him and Qi Zhen.
Who could steal such an important and secret thing?
"General, I have confirmed that he is indeed King Rui's man."
Wei Tiankuang felt something was wrong, "King Rui?"
"Yes, the people who came to pick us up are all the secret guards of King Rui."
"Is it really him?" Does he have the ability to steal things from the Northern Qi Imperial Palace?
Qi Zhen is such a waste?
"Since he wants to kill me so badly, I will give him a great gift when I return to Beijing this time."
……
When the news came that the evidence had not yet reached the capital, Cheng Jiuyuan was not too surprised.
The Wei family's influence is spread throughout Dongling. Wei Xiangming, the Queen, and the Crown Prince are in the capital. It is unlikely that the people they want to surround will make it to the capital.
The reason why the people from Lingxi Village were brought to the capital was because the Wei family had no idea of their existence.
If they knew, these people would not be able to be saved even if they arrived in the capital.
With evidence of the crime, she could feel more relaxed.
The loss of evidence did not have much impact on her plans.
In her previous life, she had seen the correspondence between Wei Tiankuang and Qi Zhen, and she was also able to forge evidence.
And after this incident, Chu Ze was bound to take the blame.
When the Wei family counterattacks, Chu Ze will be badly injured even if he doesn't die.
Wei Tiankuang thought that he could rest easy after destroying the evidence, and that he would definitely relax his vigilance when he returned to Beijing to report on his work at the end of the year, which might not be a bad thing for them.
She doesn't have time to care about these things now, as she has to take the college examination.
As soon as the news that Cheng Jiuyuan would take part in this year's academy assessment came out, the academy was in an uproar.
The examination at Baichuan Academy is not much easier than the Spring Examination.
Being able to pass the academy assessment means that one has already set foot in the imperial court, and one will definitely be on the list of candidates in the spring examination.
After three years and three years at Baichuan Academy, failing the assessment was the norm.
After school at noon, when eating in the public kitchen, some male students passed by and asked whether it was true or not.
"Cheng Jiuyuan, are you going to take part in this year's assessment? Is that true?"
Cheng Jiuyuan said gently: "It's true."
"I admit that you have some abilities, but few people can pass the academy assessment. The Baichuan token is not that easy to obtain."
"I know." Cheng Jiuyuan replied with a faint smile on her face.
Chu Wan rolled her eyes at the male student and said, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean Sister Cheng can't do it. Have you forgotten that Sister Cheng was ranked first in Baichuan in that big exam?"
"That's right, Cheng Jiuyuan, since you are so confident, I bet you can pass the academy assessment. You have to do your best!"
"You guys also set up a bet?"
"Of course, are you interested?"
"Of course, I bet one thousand taels that Sister Cheng can pass!"
"I also bet..."
Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head and lowered his head to eat his meal.
She had never taken part in the academy examination and didn't know if she could pass it.
After dinner, the girls walked towards the dormitory, and Cheng Jiuyuan noticed that Zhu Jin walked a little unnaturally. If you don't look closely, you won't notice it.
"What's wrong with your legs?"
Zhu Jin said with a sad face: "Don't mention it. When I went home on vacation, I ran into my mother's handkerchief friend. She held my hand and insisted on kissing me."
"My mother was also very pleased with the proposal. She said that the young man was knowledgeable and capable, and praised him to the skies. I had just reached the age of marriage, and I didn't want to get married, so I refused."
"What does this have to do with your missing leg? Your mother won't make you kneel down just because you don't agree, will she? Madam Taifu is not that kind of person." Chu Wan said.
Zhu Jin sighed, "No, but later my mother asked me what kind of person I wanted to find."
"I just casually said I wanted something nice, but my mom said that pretty things can't be eaten, and I said I can't eat something ugly."
"My mother said that pretty girls are fickle, and I said that I was ugly and would easily cheat on my husband. And that was all. I knelt in front of the ancestral tablet for an hour because of this."
“Pfft…hahahaha, no wonder I was punished to kneel.”
As soon as Zhu Jin spoke, several people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You guys have no conscience. I'm in such a state, and you're still laughing. I'm telling the truth. That little girl is not a coquettish person. Isn't there a saying that goes 'appearance reflects the heart'? If she looks good, she must have a good heart."
Cheng Jiuyuan said with a smile: "Your punishment is not unfair."
"I died unjustly, okay? You don't know, the son of my mother's best friend is only two years older than me, but he looks very mature. He either says 'the ancients said' or 'Confucius said', he is more old-fashioned than the old teacher in our academy. If I walk a little faster, he will scold me. If I speak a little louder, he will scold me. I already have a father, and I don't want another one. The most important thing is that he doesn't look... Do you understand?"
Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "The last sentence is the key point, right?"
In Jiang Shiyuan's era, people like Zhu Jin were called "face control".
Zhu Jin turned around, walked backwards, looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and asked, "Sister Cheng, do you agree that appearance is determined by the heart?"
Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.
Zhu Jin joked, "Does the Fifth Prince have a good heart?"
"very good."
This answer immediately caused several girls to laugh strangely.
The autumn sun was neither too strong nor too weak, shining evenly on the grass in the woods, and the noises of several girls playing were carried in the wind.
Happiness is contagious, and carefree laughter makes everyone who hears it smile.
The smiling faces of boys and girls are like the spring sun, warm, vigorous and unrestrained.
