On the fate of rejecting the boss's confession [Quick Transmigration]

With the crown prince's letter, Gu Shangchen led Xiao Ruge all the way to the archives of Dali Temple smoothly. The guard of the archives was a middle-aged man with a wink. After knowing that Gu Shangchen was handling the case for the prince, he respectfully waited on him. , Gu Shangchen then asked him to guard the door, saying that they would look for it by themselves.

Knowing that he couldn't ask more questions, the man withdrew outside the door. Gu Shangchen immediately said to Xiao Ruge, "Let's look for it separately." The files in this archive have been accumulated for decades, and there may be no fewer than tens of thousands of them, so it's natural to find them. not easy.

Gu Shangchen gave him enough of the excuses he made, and under the system's reminder, he probably knew where General Xiao Zhan's file was, so he led Xiao Ruge in that direction intentionally or unintentionally, while Gu Shangchen himself pretended to be looking for it seriously. Looking casually.

Sure enough, he soon noticed that Xiao Ruge's figure flickered, and then he froze there. Gu Shangchen didn't bother him, and gave him enough time to check it out.

On the other hand, Xiao Ruge, who didn't know that his every move was under the nose of others, when he finally found the dossier of his father's treason and collusion with the enemy, his whole body trembled slightly due to excitement, and he quickly looked around. After a week, he soon found that the prime minister was on the other side four or five meters away from him, and he was seriously searching for it. Xiao Ruge immediately opened the file impatiently.

The dossier briefly recorded his father Xiao Zhan's heroic deeds on the battlefield. Until ten years ago, the news of Xiao Zhan's collusion with the enemy and treason spread to the court.According to the dossier, Xiao Zhan colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country. On the eve of the battle between the Qi State and the Zhou State Army, he even had a secret meeting with the enemy general in Hurengou, and gave the Qi Army's military defense map to the enemy army. The defeat resulted in countless casualties, and Qi suffered heavy losses.

Subsequently, the three witnesses corrected the fact that Xiao Zhan had colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country.One was Xu Maofu, the confidant of General Xiao Zhan at that time, who is now the owner of the Duke's Mansion.Xu Maofu pointed out that General Xiao had behaved abnormally on the eve of the war, and went out of the camp secretly before the war, and met the enemy secretly in Hurengou where the two armies met. Out against the two shot.Xiao Zhan, who was in a panic, was stabbed in the arm by Xu Maofu, but General Xiao was already superb in martial arts, and ordinary people could not hurt him at all. The two people in the secret meeting immediately got rid of Xu Maofu and left quickly, but Xu Maofu had no choice but to return to the camp in a panic .

The second witness is Hu Dayuan who became rich overnight ten years ago.He was still a tea merchant at that time, and he was returning from receiving tea from the state of Wu. Because Qi and Zhou were in a state of war, it was impossible for him to receive the information of the war between the two countries because he had been staying near the tea mountain in the state of Wu. Only then did he know that the armies of the two countries were gathering nearby, and there was a possibility of fighting at any time, but on the night when he hurried on his way in a hurry, he happened to see General Xiao Zhan meeting the enemy secretly in Hurengou, so he became one of the witnesses.

And the third witness, also one of the most critical witnesses, was a well-known army doctor at that time, who proved that the sword wound on General Xiao Zhan's arm matched Xu Maofu's sword mouth.

Such three witnesses just proved the fact that Xiao Zhan colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, which Xiao Ruge never knew.But there is one thing that is a bit puzzling. When the news of Xiao Zhan’s collusion with the enemy and treason came back, it was said that Xiao Zhan’s treason led to the defeat of the Qi army and countless casualties, so Xiao Zhan was executed on the spot. This is what all Qi people know. It was also known to Xiao Ruge back then.

However, what is recorded in this scroll is different. Xiao Zhan was not executed on the spot, but killed himself with a sword, which means that Xiao Zhan committed suicide.

Xiao Ruge's eyes were already red when he saw this. He was still young at the time, but after thinking about it later, he has always been worried about this matter. First, he never believed that his father would do collaborating with the enemy and treason. It's all possible, but his father can't. Their Xiao family has three generations of loyal soldiers, and they are all famous generals who defend their home and country. What is the purpose of collaborating with the enemy and treason?Why?It doesn't make sense at all.

Furthermore, it was said that his father was executed on the spot, which he did not believe even more. Xiao Zhan was famous for his martial arts, but he was known as the patron saint of Qi, but the soldiers and enemy soldiers preferred to call him He is the god of war, the invincible general who wins all battles, no one can hurt him with his martial arts.

So no matter how I think about it, I am full of doubts everywhere, obviously there are flaws everywhere, but no one stood up to speak for his father back then, and now it is even more secretive about him, every time Xiao Ruge thinks about these things, he feels aggrieved and feels wronged for his father , and because of their Xiao family's loyalty and injustice for generations, he even hated this court and the whole Qi country.

Now it seems that these three witnesses played a key role in this matter, especially from what Hu Dayuan said, Xu Maofu must know something, if his father was really framed by traitors, then Xu Maofu must be one of them .

Xiao Ruge forced himself to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart, thinking quickly in his mind, now Hu Dayuan can't ask anything, and Xu Maofu can't get close easily, then he can only pin his hope on that military doctor named Hou Liao Si body, and since it was the injury he identified on Xiao Zhan's body, then he must know the inside story.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruge's emotions were tumbling again, and the pain and responsibility that had weighed on his heart for ten years finally came to light. The shame that their Xiao family was forced to bear, and the grievances of dozens of members of the family seemed to be about to be seen again, but at this moment , Xiao Ruge suddenly found a person standing beside him.

Xiao Ruge was startled immediately, the file in his hand was quickly closed, and when he turned his head, he saw Gu Shangchen looking at him inexplicably, Xiao Ruge was at a loss for what to do, and at the same time, he unconsciously felt full of vigilance.

Seeing that he was fascinated, Gu Shangchen couldn't help but come over.He wants Xiao Ruge to trust him completely and share everything with him, just like Su Shaoyan, he can help him without reservation, but the fact is that Xiao Ruge has always been on guard against him, the closer he gets to him The more defensive, Gu Shangchen could only help quietly.

"Why, did you find what you were looking for?" Seeing his red eyes, Gu Shangchen couldn't help asking.

Xiao Ruge became vigilant for a moment, Gu Shangchen's words were too ambiguous, no matter how he heard it, he seemed to know what he was looking for, Xiao Ruge could not help squinting his eyes slightly, and looked at Gu Shangchen carefully.

I don't want Gu Shangchen to continue without waiting for his answer, "If you don't find it, you don't need to look for it." Gu Shangchen shook the volume in his hand, "Because I have already found it."

Xiao Ruge still had doubts in his eyes, but the tense nerves on his face finally relaxed a bit. Gu Shangchen had no doubts that if he said something like General Xiao Zhan directly, Xiao Ruge might kill someone to silence him.

Gu Shangchen saw Xiao Ruge's tense nerves relax, and immediately said to him, "Sorry, I can't help you."

Gu Shangchen laughed it off, then casually flipped through the file and returned to the other courtyard with Xiao Ruge. Although Gu Shangchen didn't say anything, he still said the same thing. If there is anything that needs his help, just say it.

Although Xiao Ruge was full of doubts, he was more prepared than trusting after all.

After a few days of thinking, Xiao Ruge decided to visit the Hu Mansion again. Since Hu Dayuan was able to get rich overnight, he must have gained something. Then he must know something. Is the person in question Xu Maofu?

After making up his mind, on a dark and windy night, Xiao Ruge sneaked into the Hu Mansion again. This time, Xiao Ruge found Hu Dayuan's room more smoothly. Hu Dayuan, who was sleeping like a dead pig, probably had lingering fears from what happened last time, and it was midnight in the middle of the night, and the lamp was still on in his room.

Xiao Ruge, who was dressed in night clothes, dragged him up neatly, and then poured another pot of tea over him. Hu Dayuan immediately woke up trembling, and when he saw Xiao Ruge again, he was obviously overly frightened.

"Hero, hero, spare me, I really don't know anything, I don't know..."

Before Xiao Ruge started to ask Hu Dayuan, he started to shake his head frantically. Xiao Ruge pointed the cold sword at his fat neck, and then asked sharply, "You know the rules, what to ask and what to say, if there are lies, Immediately kill your dog."

"Don't dare dare..." Hu Dayuan was so frightened that he was sifting through the chaff. Obviously, he had already heard that this was the one from last time.

"Do you know someone named Hou Liaosi?" Xiao Ruge asked sharply.

Hu Dayuan was taken aback for a moment, as if he was thinking seriously, but then he shook his head desperately, "I don't know you."

"You really don't know each other?" Xiao Ruge's hand holding the sword slightly exerted force.

"I really don't know you, hero." Hu Dayuan froze with fright.

Xiao Ruge was a little anxious, so he added, "Ten years ago, he was a military doctor who went out with General Xiao Zhan. He was a witness back then like you. You really don't know?"

As soon as Hu Dayuan heard the word "witness", he was startled and seemed to think of something, and his complexion suddenly turned pale, but Xiao Ruge continued to shout sharply, "You were the one who identified General Xiao in Hurengou ten years ago. Meeting the enemy army secretly, you are lying!"

"It was you who killed General Xiao! You killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and more than [-] members of General Xiao's family! Didn't you!"

"Hu Dayuan, you have committed a heinous crime and deserve to die!"

Xiao Ruge's voice was louder and louder, and every word was like a sword deeply inserted into Hu Dayuan's heart.Hu Dayuan's eyes widened, obviously he knew what he did back then, otherwise he would not be able to become the richest man in the capital, and Xiao Ruge's questioning voice seemed to ask his soul, Xiao Zhan Yu The people of Qi State are also god-like existences, but when Xiao Zhan’s family ransacked and beheaded, he knew very well that all those dozens of people died unjustly, and the most unjust person was the General Xiao Zhan who guarded Qi State time and time again. up.

"Tell me, who instigated all this?"

Hu Dayuan was bluffed by Xiao Ruge for a moment, and he opened his mouth to reveal the secret he had kept for ten years, "Back then..."

But at this moment, Xiao Ruge only felt a hidden weapon slamming past his ear, and turned his head to dodge reflexively. The next second, he saw a sharp thin arrow piercing Hu Dayuan's throat. Hu Dayuan was clutching his throat in disbelief, his widened eyes were particularly terrifying.

Xiao Ruge panicked, grabbed Hu Dayuan's shoulder and asked anxiously, "Who the hell? Tell me who it is?"

However, Hu Dayuan couldn't speak a single word, Xiao Ruge rolled his eyes without shaking twice, and died immediately.

Xiao Ruge was filled with resentment, turned around and chased out the window. At this moment, another sharp arrow flew towards him. Xiao Ruge hurriedly dodged, and then saw a black shadow flashing from the courtyard. But then plunged into darkness.

Xiao Ruge chased after him without thinking.
