I heard that you are a scum

Duan Yannian took a step forward and said respectfully: "My minister has indeed found out some doubts about General Cen's case. The Yang talisman is always in His Majesty's hands, and the Yin talisman in General Cen's hand is not enough to mobilize the army, and after General Cen's death, the frontier There are no other changes. If General Cen is collaborating with the enemy and treason, the border will never be as calm as it is now. This is one. Second, a letter alone is not enough to directly condemn General Cen. The general's handwriting also made Vice General Luo misunderstand that he was going to rebel, so it is not impossible to deliberately provoke the relationship between His Majesty and the general. Thirdly, everyone present is aware of General Cen's character. With the hands of others, General Cen would never make the act of admitting a thief as his father!"

The emperor sneered, and asked him back: "Duan Qing's family came and went only a few words, I'm tired of hearing them, don't you have anything else to say?"

"I implore Your Majesty to allow me to go to the border to investigate this matter. During this period, I hope that Your Majesty will not directly judge the rest of the General's Mansion."

"What do you gentlemen think?"

Lord Zhao took a step forward: "Return to Your Majesty, I believe that there are many doubts about General Cen's case at present, and the rest of the general's mansion should wait for Lord Duan to find out everything."

Unbelievably, Prime Minister Zuo also stood up and agreed with Mr. Zhao's statement: "The old minister also believes that a hasty judgment before the truth is found out will chill the hearts of other courtiers."

Duan Jinyu quietly sent Zuo Xiang a grateful look, and Zuo Xiang secretly rolled his eyes at him.

The capital of hundreds of officials said so, who else would not want to sell face?

As a result, His Royal Highness Jin Luan rang out a voice of "Second Ministers".

Zuo Xiang was the Taifu when the emperor was still the prince, a serious veteran of the two dynasties, and the emperor respected him very much.Seeing that Prime Minister Zuo also thought so, his expression softened a little, and he said: "Then follow what Duan Qing's family said, but!" Then he changed the subject: "If Duan Qing's family cannot successfully rehabilitate Cen Yuan, I will have to Punish you for the crime of obstructing official affairs and causing trouble without incident, and then you will no longer need the position of the right minister."

Duan Yannian hurriedly thanked him: "I thank the Lord Long En."

"Is there anything else you love to tell me?"

"I have nothing to do with you, sir."

"Let's retreat."

……

Duan Yannian went to thank Mr. Zhao first, and then hurried back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chun Tao had been waiting for him with the medicine for a long time, he took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, then asked her to help him pack his luggage.

"Where are we going at this time?" Chuntao asked puzzled.

"It's not us, it's me. I'm going to the frontier to find evidence."

"Why didn't you take me with you!" Chuntao was very dissatisfied.

"The environment in the frontier is harsh, how can you bear it as a girl, so I should go and return quickly by myself, and you help me take care of those in the prison in Chang'an."

"Take care?" Chuntao's tone was full of reluctance: "That Cen Qing? I want to tear her mouth apart as soon as I hear her talk!"

Duan Yannian looked at her helplessly: "I know you don't like her, but he is Cen Yuan's only younger sister after all, you just ignore the villain and don't care about her for my sake, okay?"

Chuntao shook her head again and again: "No, no, I still have to go with you. Your small body can withstand the cold wind in the frontier fortress, let alone me. Besides, son, you often forget things, don't know the way, and have no one else. If I lead you the way, don’t you get lost? If I go with you, I can not only lead the way, but also take care of you on the way.”

"I'm not as bad as you say..."

"Did you forget? Last time you said you were going to visit Mr. Qian in the household department, but you couldn't find where Mr. Qian lived until it was dark; last time you made an appointment with Mr. Sun to discuss poetry in a teahouse, and you finally found a place It's over, everyone is over; there's still time and time again..."

"Stop, stop!" Duan Yannian interrupted her hastily, "I haven't forgotten! Finding the way is a problem...Is it okay if I take you with me? Go and pack your things first, and we'll go with you later. Say goodbye to Xiaoqi, he won't see you for nearly a month."

Chuntao pouted, "Look, it's incidental for me to say goodbye to Xiao Qi—are you going to see those white-eyed wolves again?"

Duan Yannian scolded her: "How do you talk! Do you know that every little girl wants to stay in Germany?!"

Chuntao sticks out her tongue, but doesn't speak.

He sighed, and then said: "Don't look at them anymore, it's useless to look at them, this time I'm just going to say goodbye to Xiaoqi."

……

Although Xiaoqi was a little bit reluctant, she didn't stop Chuntao from following him to the north, but told her over and over again to be careful and not to hurt herself.

Early the next morning, Duan Yannian took Chuntao to the post station, because Chuntao couldn't ride a horse and he was weak, the two had to hire a carriage to transfer all the way.The horse-drawn carriage can only take the main road, there is no way to take shortcuts, and the speed is not as fast as riding a horse. In this way, the distance that could have been solved in half a month was abruptly dragged into a month.

The further north he went, the colder the weather became, Duan Yannian couldn't stand the cold, every night, the coolness that leaked from his bones made him shiver.

After sitting in a carriage for half a month, I finally saw the gate of Linlu Pass.

The wind and sand in Mobei was blown like a knife, making people's cheeks hurt. The two dressed up like the refugees around them, this is to prevent the robbers from being robbed.

They lined up into the city with the flow of people.

Linluguan was the first line of defense against the Xiongnu, and it was also the city closest to the Xiongnu.There is an army stationed here all the year round, facing the Huns far away across a desert.

After entering the city, the two first went to a tavern to take a rest and inquire about news.

There is no inn in Linlu.The environment here is poor, the crops are difficult to feed; the economic level is low; there is also a group of sand thieves who only want to beat passers-by. The people inside wish they could go as far as possible. Outside, there are almost no one except soldiers who are marching and fighting. willing to come.Every day this city accepts refugees from places closer to the front line. Poverty and backwardness are the truest portrayals here.

The tavern usually receives people from the army.The frontier is very cold, and spirits are the best thing to keep out the cold. Therefore, when you are free, soldiers always come to buy wine, or sit in this tavern.

There is wind and sand like knives, and there is also a strong wine called Shaodaozi. It is said that this kind of wine is as spicy as fire and burns extremely.

Duan Yannian imitated the soldier next to him and drank a big gulp of strong wine, he was so hot that he couldn't help coughing.

Several soldiers laughed when they saw him, and there was no malice in their laughter.

Although he was choked half to death, the strong wine really worked. After taking a sip, he felt warm all over his body.

He looked at more than half of the wine left, and sighed regretfully - it's a pity that with his drinking capacity, he would be drunk if he drank any more.

"Which military masters belong to the Benlei Camp?" Duan Yannian spoke to several soldiers.

One of them laughed and said: "You young man, you are a man of words, you can change your name and surname if you are a real man, just like Wang Hao, the centurion of the Benlei Camp."

"It turned out to be Commander Wang, disrespect and disrespect."

Wang Hao scolded with a smile: "What's wrong with being respectful? I'm a rough man, and I don't understand what you scholars are saying. You are not a local, so what are you doing in this miserable place?"

Duan Yannian said: "To be honest, I am an official ordered by the imperial court to come here for the death of General Cen Yuan."

As soon as General Cen was mentioned, Wang Hao's face immediately turned black. He slapped the table angrily, opened his mouth and cursed angrily: "If it wasn't for being ambushed by the grandsons of the barbarians, how could General Cen be poisoned to death?! This group of people The grandson couldn't beat us clearly, so he played tricks in secret. First, he sent people in to poison us, and then retreated three miles to force us into their ambush circle. The general was careless for a while, and was plotted by these grandsons. He failed to save him and died of poison. …Fuck them, the more I think about it, the angrier I get, brothers, let's go, kill some barbarians to pay homage to the general's spirit in heaven!"

As soon as he said he would leave, Wang Hao immediately led his men away aggressively.

However, a lot of information can already be obtained from his words. Cen Yuan died of poisoning. Ordinary soldiers should not know whether Cen Yuan was treasonous or not. Deputy General Luo did not reveal the news.

The feet rested, the wine was drunk, and the news was understood.The two were going out of town to camp.

I inquired a little bit about the specific location of the camp with the local fellows, and the fellows were kind-hearted, and specially reminded them that a beautiful girl like Chuntao was very dangerous here.

So Duan Yannian grabbed a handful of ashes from the ground, turned around and wiped it on Chuntao's face.

Chuntao was extremely aggrieved, and asked him: "I see, not only a pretty girl like me is dangerous, but also a pretty face like yours with a slender waist and long legs. Why don't you wipe some on yourself too?"

For a moment, Duan Yannian didn't know whether to be shocked by her thick skin first, or to be speechless by her adjectives for himself.

……

The two walked along the path for a certain distance, and they could already see the flag of the Benlei Camp. The closer they were to the Benlei Camp, the more he felt a sense of homelessness.

This is where Cen Yuan stayed for three years...

Cen Yuan has breathed the air here; stepped on the ground under his feet; the wind here has kissed his cheek; the sand dunes here have witnessed his growth...

He finally saw the living environment of Cen Yuan with his own eyes, but unfortunately...there is no such person as Cen Yuan here for a long time...

He gasped for breath twice, trying to calm himself down.Chuntao smoothed his back for him, opened her mouth, and comforted dryly: "Young master...General Cen is still waiting for you to clear up his grievances."

That's right... why is he dragging his sick body to his last breath?Isn't it just to let Cen Yuan die innocently; so that future generations will praise him "Cen Yuan? The well-deserved God of War of the Great Chen Kingdom" when his name is mentioned?

He brought Chuntao to the camp, but was stopped by guarding soldiers: "Who is it!"

Duan Yannian took out the appointment document from the emperor and handed it to one of them: "Your Majesty is an official sent by the Emperor to investigate the death of General Cen. I am asking to see Vice-General Luo Pingluo."

"What Luo Ping? We don't have this person at all!"
