Chapter 277: Close Personal Relationship
"Did he tell you that?" Shan Li asked as he put away what he was copying.
"Yes, I just went to see how his face was recovering and asked him about it. I didn't expect that he would come up with this idea."
"Has he become stupid from studying? He can even come up with such an unreliable method." Song Qingci really couldn't understand.
Shouldn't this method of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred be used when you are at the end of your rope? It's far from that point now.
Shan Li was not as excited as Song Qingci. On the contrary, he somewhat understood Shen Mozhu.
Although people often say that everything is inferior except reading, but when it really comes to some extremes, scholars are really useless.
Shen Mozhu is currently alone and has nothing, so going to beat the drum to submit a report is the last and only thing he can do.
Moreover, he could guess what Shen Mozhu was thinking. Ah Ci's medical skills gave him hope of survival, so he became even more fearless.
"You don't say anything, do you think he's right?" Song Qingci's eyes changed when he looked at Shan Li.
It was as if she would draw a clear line between them if he just nodded and said yes.
"No." Shan Li hurriedly explained, "I don't think he is right. He is just too pedantic. Everything depends on human effort. If you want to restore your identity, you can still think of some other ways."
"That's right!" Song Qingci once again complained about Shen Mozhu in his heart.
"I came here to ask you if you have any thoughts on this matter."
Shan Li did not answer her immediately, but took out a token from his arms and handed it to Song Qingci.
"What is this?" Song Qingci took the token and looked over it carefully, but could not see anything unusual.
She has seen many brands like this in Dachen.
Similar styles can be seen in every government office and government offices, wherever identity verification is required.
It is used to distinguish according to the different material carvings.
She had never seen this one.
"This is the badge of the secret guards in Prince Huai's mansion." Shan Li explained to Song Qingci.
"King Huai?" Song Qingci was puzzled. Wasn't he talking about how to help Shen Mozhu regain his identity and overthrow the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion? Why did he suddenly talk about King Huai?
If the original owner's memory is correct, this King Huai is the fifth son of the previous emperor. He has been in poor health for many years and has been bedridden. He married Ling. Due to health reasons, the King Huai's mansion has no heirs until now.
He is the most inconspicuous prince in the capital.
"What does this have to do with King Huai?!" Song Qingci really couldn't figure out the twists and turns here, so she chose to ask directly.
"This is what I brought back from Beishui City. I hid it before Ma Yuan died." Shan Li had actually wanted to talk to Song Qingci about Beishui City a long time ago.
However, there were always things that interfered with the situation, so he never had the chance to say these things.
Today, I finally said it out.
Song Qingci thought for a moment, "You mean to say that the Battle of Yicheng was the work of King Huai?"
"Yes!" Shan Li affirmed, "The long-awaited grain and grass were because the quartermaster who was executed along with his entire family was bribed by King Huai, so he deliberately took the unfamiliar road, and then all the grain and grass sank to the bottom of the lake."
"Ma Yuan is also a member of King Huai's army?"
Shan Li nodded and shook his head, "Ma Yuan was indeed bribed by King Huai. But when he was first bribed, he didn't know who bribed him. And at that time, he just casually revealed some irrelevant news to them. Ma Yuan thought that the civil servants in the court were worried about the general's mansion, so they wanted to bribe some people to find out the news of the general's mansion."
''Ma Yuan needed money at that time, and his own military salary was not enough to support his family. So, he did this. However, the more time went by, the more he felt something was wrong. The information those people wanted was getting closer and closer to military secrets. So, he kept a watchful eye and saved some of the correspondence. It was also at that time that he realized that the person who bribed him was someone from Prince Huai's Mansion. However, at that time, it was too late for him to regret and withdraw. ''
"During the battle of Yicheng, he really wanted to ask for help, but he didn't expect that those people didn't want him to live. I don't know if he was lucky or not. He escaped the pursuit of those people, but finally fell off the cliff."
"Before he came back to save me, he left the clues and evidence he had collected in Beishui City. This time, I got all of them."
When it comes to Ma Yuan, Shan Li feels complicated.
The brother who once fought side by side with him turned out to be the one who betrayed their military secrets. However, he was also the one who came back to save him. He was also the one who left clues and evidence.
"But what does what you said have to do with Shen Mozhu's matter?" Song Qingci was also very uncomfortable. She actually understood the expression on Shan Li's face.
Tangled, regretful, and torn. Ma Yuan is something that cannot be explained in just a few words.
But what does this have to do with the present situation?
"Marquis Yongchang has a close personal relationship with King Huai." Shan Li said, "The quartermaster was the one who was introduced by Marquis Yongchang."
"I see, these two old bastards are from the same pit!" Song Qingci said rudely.
The originally heavy atmosphere was destroyed by Song Qingci's words.
Shan Li looked up at her and nodded, "Yes, these two old bastards are from the same pit."
"So what you mean is that you want to use the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion to implicate Prince Huai?" Song Qingci seemed to understand Shan Li's meaning.
Shan Li did not deny it, "King Huai seems to be aloof from the world, but he can reach out to battlefields thousands of miles away. Ah Ci, do you think he was not responsible for the cheating in the imperial examination?"
Things, the most important thing is to think too much. As long as you think carefully, many things that you didn't understand before can be figured out. Even if it's not accurate, at least you have a goal, right?
"You're right!" Song Qingci nodded. "Besides, even if he really didn't do anything this time, we can make him seem like he did something."
After hearing what she said, Shan Li chuckled.
His A Ci is really... different from others.
