   Chapter 119 Life is better than death

   "General, Leng Yi said that, at most tomorrow, I will ask all the questions that should be asked."

   Shao Mingyuan nodded and instructed Shao Zhi: "Four more personal guards will be sent into the mansion, and they will guard the place where I live in shifts. Whoever comes in in the future will be thrown out."

  Shao Zhi felt a little uncomfortable for the general when he heard this, and immediately responded.

   Before the next day, Shao Zhi brought the news of Shen Guanshi's confession.

   "General, the **** has already recruited!"

   "Tell me."

   Shao Zhi hesitated.

   He couldn't bear to say it.

   Shao Mingyuan smiled lightly: "Tell me, I can probably guess it."

An inexplicable sadness welled up in Shao Zhi's heart, he opened his mouth, as if there was a heavy burden on his heart, making his voice astringent: "I found a man named Xie Wu, who used to be in the Northern Expedition Army, who was injured and joined the army three years ago. Chu exited and returned to the capital. Xie Wu was the cousin of Steward Shen, and it was Steward Shen who had entered the barracks back then. He was one of the guards of the Hou Mansion who escorted his wife to the Northland this time, and it was in the name of hunting. Crossed the mountain from the Guiku Forest and went back to Rong, and got in touch with the Tartars over there—"

   When Shao Zhi said this, he took a careful look at Shao Mingyuan: "General—"

   "Mr. Shen confessed to behind the scenes?"

   Shao Zhi was silent.

  Shao Mingyuan waited quietly. He didn't wait for Shao Zhi's reply, and then smiled softly: "I understand."

   He tilted his head, coughed, covered it with his hands, and then turned around: "Go ahead, where is that Xie Wu now—"

   Shao Zhi was already horrified: "General!"

   "What's wrong?" Shao Mingyuan's brows were light.

  Shao Zhi's eyes widened, but the eyes of the man who was used to seeing the rain of arrows and arrows turned red. He held back his tears, and stretched out his hand with trembling lips: "General, you...you wipe, you are bleeding..."

  Bleeding?

   Shao Mingyuan glanced down at the palm of his hand.

   Fingers with well-defined knuckles, palms with thick calluses, and a shocking red on them.

   Shao Zhi fell to his knees with a plop. At this moment, the iron-blooded man burst into tears: "General, your subordinates know that you feel uncomfortable, but I just ask you not to do this to yourself! We need you, and the people of Daliang also need you!"

  Shao Mingyuan took out a snow-white square towel and wiped the corner of his mouth, kicked Shao Zhi lightly, and said lightly, "Get up, is it shameful for a big man to cry like this?"

   "The subordinates don't care, the subordinates are not afraid of being embarrassed, the subordinates only hope that the general can cherish themselves!"

   "I'm fine, but I'm just in a hurry. Haha, I've never been hurt before, and I've never seen you look so cowardly!"

   "I—" Shao Zhi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

   Can that be the same?

   But he is a subordinate, what can he say at this moment?

  Let the general slash that damned behind-the-scenes with a thousand cuts? No, that's the general's mother!

   "Speak the business. Where is Xie Wuren?"

Shao Zhi simply lowered his head and didn't look at Shao Mingyuan, and said in a low voice, "Shenzhen has confessed, and after returning to the capital, he sent Xie Wu out to hide. The subordinates have already sent someone to look for Xie Wu, and ask the general for instructions. How to deal with Shen Guan?"

   "Let him go back."

   Shao Zhi suddenly raised his head: "Put it back?"

   Shao Mingyuan nodded lightly.

   "General, this is too cheap, that bastard, we can't deal with that behind the scenes, can't we deal with that bastard?"

Since General    said so, he did as he did, why was he still talking nonsense and poking at the General's heart, he was really confused!

   "Shao Zhi, I mean, let him go back and be his steward."

   "General—" Shao Zhi was even more confused.

   "You ask Leng Yi to tell him that he wants to go back to be his steward. If it arouses anyone's suspicion, if he can't be this steward, then his life is unnecessary."

   This time, Shao Zhi completely understood, and looked at Shao Mingyuan with even more respect, clasped his fists and said, "Let's order!"

The general    is still the unparalleled general in his heart, even if he is so heartbroken, he can still make the most favorable choice.

   For the time being, to keep Shen Guanshi in his hands, and to have a great handle on Shen Guanshi, is tantamount to controlling the movements of most of the Houfu from now on.

   "Go, wait until you find Xie Wu, collect all the evidence, and let me control it, and then let me check everything about Xie Wu from childhood to adulthood."

   Even if the mastermind behind the scenes came from a close relative, how could such a person be chosen just right?

   Shao Zhi took the order to go out, Shao Mingyuan poured himself a glass of warm water and drank it slowly, dispelling the **** taste in his mouth. Then he sat down against the wall and closed his eyes.

   Mother she...does she want him to die?

   If what she wanted was his life, why would she harm others!

   Oh, no, that's none other than his wife, Shao Mingyuan.

  Shao Mingyuan closed his eyes, and the bright moonlight poured in through the carved window ridges and fell on his face, making that face whiter than the snow on Mount Alan in the north.

   He suddenly thought through, and couldn't help showing a self-deprecating smile.

   It turned out that what my mother wanted was that his life was better than death.

  What a cruel truth.

   A burst of qi and blood surged, Shao Mingyuan stretched out his hand to hold his heart, and pushed down the churning qi and blood.

   For a moment, he wanted to ask questions regardless, but he finally suppressed that thought.

   questioned, so what?

   He couldn't point the sword at his mother, maybe he would be happier after a single blow.

   Shao Mingyuan lowered his head, put his hands in his hair, coldness struck, from the inside out, it was icy cold.

  The weather was getting warmer, and in Qiao Zhao's secret anticipation, it was finally time for her funeral.

   Oh, it seems strange to think that way.

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing whenever he thought of this, mocking himself that he was getting bigger and bigger.

   She woke up early this day, her face was clean and unpainted, she wore a duck egg blue shirt and a white skirt with pick-up lines. There was no decoration on her body, except for a pair of white pearl earrings.

After greeting Mrs. Deng, Qiao Zhao said: "Grandmother, tomorrow is the day to go to Shuying Nunnery. I want to go to the pen and ink shop to see if there are suitable brushes and inks to buy and give to the teacher, thank the teacher for these days. my advice."

   "I heard that Wumei Shitai used everything that was provided by the royal family. If the third sister wants to give Shitai a gift, it is better to think carefully." Li Jiao seemed to remind him thoughtfully, but he hated Qiao Zhao even more in his heart.

   These days, the Dongfu Women's School has been closed. The women's school was originally held for the second girl. Now Li Jiao is staying at home, and she has the meaning of quitting the circle of girls in the capital. Of course, Dongfu has little interest in running a women's school.

  Speaking of which, it was all Li San's fault. If it wasn't for Li San making the second sister embarrassed one after another, how could she not go to school now?

   It's really unfair that the people who should be taught the most are now complacent!

   "I just need to do my best, I don't need to think carefully." Qiao Zhao said lightly.

   Mrs. Deng nodded: "Your third sister is right, you don't need to try to please the teacher, it's enough to do your best. Zhaozhao, go, go early and come back early."

  Li Jiao sneered in his heart, but his face was gentle: "Grandma, let me accompany the third sister. I just want to buy some paper."
