Chapter 63

Those names are obviously all the generals who followed Pei Zhang at the beginning, deputy generals, staff generals, generals, tooth generals, school captains...

As long as they were able to participate in the military meeting, all of them were written down.

Then, he slowly crossed out those names one by one.

Zhuo Zheng and Pei Zhang also looked solemn.

The names that were crossed out were the generals who died in the northern border with Pei Zhang.

The last one left didn't even have a name.

If everyone who could participate in the military meeting died together in the battle, who would be the person who leaked the secret?

He wrote the name again on a blank piece of paper.

This time I write about Marquis Xuanping's personal soldiers, servants, military doctors, and everyone who can report on the military accounts.

This time there were several names left.

In fact, they have not just reviewed it for the first time. The reason why they review it again and again is just to find out possible omissions.But not every time!

Regardless of whether they are living people or those who have died, Xia Chixiao is sending people to secretly search for clues.

He can resurrect from the dead and live in another identity. Maybe some of those people can also do it. Since there is the precedent of that boy, there may be others!

Xia Chixiao suddenly said: "Wrong!"

The people in the room looked at each other, wondering what was wrong.

Xia Chixiao changed a blank piece of paper again and started writing his name again. After finishing writing, he looked at Shen Xia: "Come and take a look!"

It reads: Grain officer Yan Hongyu, military supervisor Yue Jinglin, Si Bo Daihua, army officer Liang Hao, guard captain Qi Chengping, counselors Teng Wenxiao and Lu Yu...

Shen Xia's eyes widened and he said: "These are indeed people who had contact with uncle at that time, but they did not stay in the military, and some even left early."

They have been thinking about the people who are most likely to have access to secrets, and checking their past and relationships.

There are too many people, so we can only pick the most important and most likely ones to check. These unlikely ones have not been included in the suspicion before.

Of course, it is not that all the names listed are suspicious, but after investigation, only by determining which ones are suspicious can we find the real truth in a targeted manner.

Xia Chixiao said: "Separate another line and investigate these people. However, the identities of these people may have changed. Qi Chengping, the captain of the guard army, is already the captain of the guard army."

"Yes!" This time, it was Zhuo Zheng and Gu Jing who answered!

Xia Chixiao added: "There were many people in the army who had seen me in the past. In order to train me, not many people knew that I was his son. But those people all knew. Therefore, my identity will be recognized sooner or later. The fourth prince took action, maybe because of my previous identity, maybe because of my current identity! But no matter what, there is an extra line."

He raised his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, his eyes far away. Although his investigation was secret, it would always make some people alert. People would appear one by one and tell him the real truth!

Early in the morning, Xia Chixiao left Liyanghou Mansion.

Looking at the back of her tall, handsome son, Mrs. Qi wanted to scream, but she was so far away and shouting was not in line with her status as a noble lady.

She felt resentful in her heart.

Didn't Xia Chixiao see her as a mother, such a big person, walking here?Seeing it but turning a blind eye, after all, it means that he is either raised by his side or not close to him.If it were Yu'er and Jing'er...

Just when I thought of this, I heard a warm and affectionate cry: "Mother!"

When she looked up, she saw Xia Yuxuan walking towards him.

He has a graceful demeanor and a smile on his face.

A smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and her dissatisfaction with Xia Chixiao just now was put aside.

In the past, Xia Zhenyuan was a disgusting playboy, but Xia Yuxuan was different. Although he was not amazingly talented or outstanding, and his knowledge in the academy was not outstanding, he was well-behaved, filial, and even though he was not outstanding. Not too mediocre.

At that time, both husband and wife wanted to make Xia Yuxuan the crown prince, but they were delayed by Xia Chixiao's return.

At this time, seeing her handsome son walking towards her, Qi smiled and said, "Yu'er, where are you going so early?"

Xia Yuxuan smiled very sweetly: "After my son got up to study in the morning, he prepared to come to say hello to his mother. Unexpectedly, he saw his mother here. Mother, are you admiring the flowers? My son is with you!"

Qi was very happy.

She didn't come here to enjoy the flowers, but because she had something to do with Xia Haicheng, so she showed up here so early, but now, she suddenly felt that these flowers were also beautiful.

The mother and son appraised the flowers, and Xia Yuxuan picked the most beautiful one and gave it to Mrs. Qi.

When Mrs. Qi took it with a smile, Xia Yuxuan said casually: "Mother, I seemed to have seen my eldest brother just now. Is he also here to pay your respects? I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to be earlier!"

Mrs. Qi looked at such a caring son and then thought about Xia Chixiao. In comparison, Xia Chixiao's status in her heart was probably a little higher than Xia Zhenyuan.

She frowned and said, "He, he is busy. He doesn't know what he is doing all day long. Do you still remember to say hello to my mother?"

Xia Yuxuan's eyes flashed, and he showed a bigger smile, and said: "Mom, don't be angry, my eldest brother may have something to do. He is a second-grade official now, and he is no more idle than his son. He should be busy!"

"What can I be busy with this early in the morning?" Mrs. Qi's dissatisfaction rose to another level. She felt that it was time to discuss with the Marquis about making Yuxuan the heir apparent.

No matter how good your son is, if he doesn't obey and isn't close to you, then you can't expect anything good!
Suddenly, she thought of another thing.

Thinking of this, even her considerate and well-behaved second son lost interest in accompanying her to enjoy the flowers, and said: "Yu'er, mother knows that you are the most filial, so there is no need to say hello. Don't rush into studying, and balance work and rest. Don't be tired! You were born in a marquis mansion and you don't need to take the imperial examination, so why bother?"

Xia Yuxuan looked at Mr. Qi with bright eyes and said, "My son knows that his mother has done a lot for him, so he hopes that when the time comes, he can get a better rank in the exam and make his mother look good!"

Qi became even happier after hearing this.

Her son worked so hard just to make her look good.

She was born in a marquis mansion, with fine clothes and fine food, but she was willing to endure such hardships for her mother. If this is not called filial piety, what is filial piety?

Xia Yuxuan added: "Brother has just returned to the capital not long ago, so he may not know some etiquette. Mother, don't blame him!"

Upon hearing Xia Chixiao, Mrs. Qi became even more angry and said, "Don't mention him anymore. You are tired from studying. Go and rest first. Mother still has some things to deal with!"

The Qi family hurried to Xiahai City.

Xia Haicheng took a bath today. At this time, he was in the study, and a young maid beside him was sharpening ink. Xia Haicheng's eyes occasionally fell on the maid, and he always met her eyes, so he felt a stringy feeling. The eyes are lingering and the red sleeves are fragrant, so interesting.
