Distressed Concubine

Chapter 55
He shook his head and went out with his hands behind his hands.

If even the best man and daughter in the world look down on him, he doesn't know if the daughter is determined or not, but as a father, he can really give up.

The light in the dark room was too dark, and the smell was not very good, so she walked out with the box in her hands, closed the door of the ancestral hall, and slowly opened the copper clasp, and inside was something like a parchment scroll.

With an ancient yellow color, blowing ash, she slowly spread it out.

At the first line of the article, she was instantly stunned.

An hour later, she hurriedly left the ancestral hall and returned to the courtyard.

Seeing this, Qingluo was surprised: "Miss, didn't you say that you will stay in the ancestral hall all day?"

Nalan Ruixue raised her cold eyes, and said to Qingluo. "Change clothes and follow me."

The dignified look made Qing Luo feel ominous, and she nodded cleanly, "Okay."

After a while, two men climbed over the wall and went straight to Shuntian Mansion.

Walking on the road, under the cold mask, she smiled faintly, and said to Qingluo in a low voice: "Being followed, go and lure him away."

"Yes."

Her figure flickered and flickered, and she turned into a deserted alley with only three or two turns, and took a shortcut into the Shuntian government office.

Xue Fu Yin was taking a lunch break, so someone notified him. "My lord, Captain Su is here."

Frightened, he staggered off the bed and hurriedly asked, "Where are you coming from?"

"Go straight to the prison."

"Several people?"

"one person!"

one person?Xue Fuyin was puzzled, and immediately put on his official uniform, and hurriedly ran towards the prison.

"Su Mo" walked into the prison coldly with his hands behind his back, and said to the guarding soldiers of the Fuhu Camp, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No! The subordinates have been watching for four days, but they haven't noticed any changes." The soldier of the Fuhu camp in silver armor clasped his fists and replied on one knee.

"Yeah." She was about to go inside.

One of the Fuhu camp soldiers said: "By the way, Captain Su, after Li Shilang brought people to interrogate yesterday, several of the butlers have already started recruiting yesterday, and they have already recorded the confessions."

She paused slightly, an ominous premonition quickly rose in her heart, and she said sharply, "Where is the confession?"

"According to your instructions, I have already saved one copy, and the other one was taken away by Li Shilang. He said that after five days, he will submit it to the emperor to make up for his mistakes."

"Show me."

"Yes."

Suddenly, she stopped again, and asked in a cold voice, "How many soldiers from Fuhu Camp are there?"

"forty."

There was a cold smile on the corner of his lips, he turned his head and pointed to the prison door and said, "It's closed! Except for Luo, no one will open the door. Leave twenty people at the door, and if anyone breaks in, they will be killed. "

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked inward. In the dark room used for trial on the other side, there was a pile of affixed statements. She flipped through them quickly, suddenly stopped, and smiled coldly, sure enough.

Light the confession into the dim candlelight, which surprised the soldiers guarding him. "Captain Su..."

Flames quickly swallowed the thin paper, and after the bright fire scorched, only a pile of black ash remained.

She sneered: "Bring me the treasurer of Mingque Tower."

After a while, a thin and stern-looking man was brought up. He knelt down with his eyes down, very peaceful.

Her voice was cold, with no emotion. "Mingque Tower is Bei Gongcheng's secret sentry?"

"Yes." The man whispered.

"Oh." She would agree, and smiled coldly. "I read the confession. It seems that you have done a lot of things over the years, but I am curious. Since you have been with him for seven years, why do you confess at this moment?"

"Prince Sheng banned my family and forced me to do this. After learning that I was arrested, he killed my whole family. I want to avenge my family!" The man raised his head angrily, tears streaming down his face, and his voice was miserable. sincere.

"In that case, it makes sense." She nodded slightly, but there was no trace of warmth in her voice.With a light wave of one hand, the soldier immediately uncuffed the man.

"Sit down." The soldier brought another stool, and the man looked up suspiciously. The man in front of him was wearing a cold silver mask, and he couldn't see any expression, but judging from his posture, he didn't show any aggressive behavior at all. Sit back and relax.

The moment the man raised his eyes, she didn't ignore it at all, she smiled lightly, and continued: "It's my responsibility to wait for Nantong. If something like this happens, you will definitely not survive."

After hearing what Su Mo said, the man's tense body relaxed instead.

Of course, such subtle changes did not escape her eyes, and her tone turned cold. "But! I can make Bei Gongcheng die uglier than you."

Her tone was faint and cold, with a penetrating coldness.The firm tone and nonsense tone made the man secretly happy.

The man knelt down and kowtowed immediately when he heard the words, and said sadly: "As long as Captain Su can help my whole family to avenge their hatred, I will die without regret."

"Where is everything you said?"

"I already informed Li Shilang yesterday, so I must be at Li Shilang's place by now."

She sneered, she didn't expect Nan Feng to keep her hand, that's okay, since that's the case, she sneered and said: "That's right, it's safe for Li Shilang to take care of this matter, there must be someone to assist tomorrow, and I won't be able to intervene, that's all, let's go down .”

The man paused slightly, this... the prince ordered to arouse Su Mo's hatred for Prince Cheng, but it's best not to let things fall into his hands, if it is really necessary, hand it over.

Seeing the soldiers coming to help him up, he immediately kowtowed and said, "Captain Su, you can't ignore it. Many of these officials are already Prince Cheng. If others take care of it, this matter will eventually be settled. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will not be able to avenge my great revenge."

"Could it be that Li Shilang is Prince Cheng's man? He will hand it over to the emperor tomorrow. The emperor will decide on this matter. You don't need to worry about it. Take it with you."

"Captain Su..." The man still wanted to defend himself.

"Bang!" Su Mo slapped the table, and said in a cold and sullen voice, "I want you to live an extra day because you dare to report him. Don't give me shame! Get lost."

The man trembled, resigned to his fate, and was taken down by the soldiers. Before leaving, he glanced at Su Mo, who looked irritable, with a sneer on his lips.

After everyone went down, she put her head on her hands and fell into deep panic.

It's not true, it must not be true.

How can you do this?How can this be so?

The moment the file was opened, what caught the eye was the 14th year of Xuanwu in Beichang.

The clear year title ruthlessly shows that the Nalan clan used to be from Beichang. Reading down the file, it clearly records that the Beigong clan in Beichang withered, the cousin Mu clan usurped power, and the relative Nan clan supported the army to stand on their own.

When the Nan clan established themselves as mercenaries, the ancestors of the Nalan clan and the other clans saw that the Beigong clan was indeed in danger, but they didn't want to bring the fertile and peaceful land of Nantong to the flames of war, so they made an alliance with the Nan clan.

Several families of military generals guarded Nantong life and death, preventing foreign enemies from stepping into Nantong's territory, but demanded that they not hand over military power and inherit it hereditary.

The Nan clan didn't have many soldiers and horses back then, and they were eager to stand on their own, so they signed this covenant.

As a result, the Beigong family fought against the Mu family with their excellent swordsmanship and leading ability, and the Mu family failed to usurp power, so they simply followed the example of the Nan family and supported themselves.The territory of Beichang quickly disintegrated. In the battle after battle, Dongnu, Xia Guo, and Jia Guo also gradually broke away from the board.

The fate of the Beigong royal family's withering has not been rewritten. Although they worked hard to maintain it, they eventually declined into a medium-to-small country.

It wasn't until the appearance of Beigong Sheng that the situation of Beichang's repeated decline was reversed. Dongnu was destroyed, Xia Kingdom was destroyed, the territory was expanded, and soldiers were recruited. In ten years, Beichang showed a completely different prosperity from the past.

But what is she doing now?She felt a little ridiculous.

I always thought that I was protecting my family and the country, but unexpectedly, I was protecting the thieves.

But the ancestral motto of the Nalan family is to wait for Nantong and not let the flames of war burn out the homeland. This is the place where the Nalan family has been waiting for generations. Whether it is the world of the Beigong clan or the world of the Nan clan, this is Nalan after all home of home.

help him?Then one day she will burn the flames of war here.

not help him?His conscience was troubled, and he occupied his family's foundation, doing things like pretending to be a guard.

How can it be so difficult?

"Lieutenant Su." The door was opened, and Luo walked in quickly.

She raised her eyes, quickly cleared up her tired expression, and said lightly, "Yes."

"Why did you come to the prison in such a hurry?" Qingluo looked around and asked in a low voice after making sure that she was safe.

"Do you still remember that mysterious man who followed you?" She said coldly, her eyes pierced through the iron mask, looking at Qing Luo sharply.

"Remember, isn't the young lady using the secret whistle to investigate this matter in the name of Prince Sheng? Could it be possible?" Qing Luo secretly delighted.

"Maybe... a member of the royal family." After a long time, she said lightly.

royal?Why?Even if the young lady disguises herself as a man, she is still doing something beneficial to Nantong. Why is the other party's stalking so deep?Qing Luo was puzzled and said, "You mean... Nan Feng?"

"No!" She smiled coldly and said word by word, "Maybe it's the emperor!"

"Ah!" Qingluo gasped, this guess is too unbelievable, the emperor is well, what are you doing following them?
Nalan Ruixue closed her eyes, and kept running through information in her mind. The file mentioned an underground palace built by the Beigong royal family in Nantong, presumably it was the place Beigong Sheng took her to.

The thing that scares her the most at this moment is not the question of whether to help Bei Gongcheng, but, through this incident, she knows how hypocritical and submissive Nantong Emperor Nan Shijun has been to her all along.

Conferring military merits, conferring titles, and all means, on the surface, it seems that the emperor's grace is mighty, but in fact it is to win people's hearts, trying to boil frogs in warm water, and gradually disintegrate the family of generals from the inside.

After all, only the Nalan family and the Cheng family were left in the first few families of military generals, but the Cheng family has already fallen, and the few sons do not want to make progress, and the Nalan family is all women. I think Nan Shijun is focusing on these two House fat, just waiting to be replaced.

How important military power is to the royal family, Nan Shijun understands it, and she understands it too.

Although Qing Luo didn't know the reason, she also understood that the side of the imperial couch would not allow other people to sleep soundly. I'm afraid that the Nalan family will usher in an unprecedented disaster in this prosperous age.

He couldn't help but angrily said: "What is this! The Nalan family has been waiting for Nantong's homeland for many years, and they are so calculating."

Nalan Ruixue smiled coldly. "I'm afraid there are more calculations. I think that Nan Feng's proposal and withdrawal of marriage back then were probably intentional."

Qingluo gasped. "That's not Second Miss..."

Leaning weakly on the back of the Grand Master's chair, she murmured: "I don't know, maybe handing over the military power to Nan Shijun through Ruqiu's hand is the only way to preserve Nalan's family."
