"What witness?" The military department Shangshu was stunned for a moment and asked with some puzzlement.

"Adults will know later." Li Canghai said.

The military department Shangshu nodded, and after ordering someone to take Li Canghai to the wing, he went to find the remaining five Shangshu.

There was a more remote room in the courtyard on the right, and several soldiers stood outside the room.

After seeing Li Canghai coming, they all saluted him.

Li Canghai muttered a few words softly to Tao Jizhu, and then pushed the door and walked in.

There were two people in the wing, both of whom were wearing armor and exuding a murderous aura peculiar to a soldier.

One person is sitting at the round table, holding the roast chicken in his hand and munching on it, eating with a mouth full of oil.

The other was lying on the bed, with Erlang's legs crossed, and a wine jug in his hand was constantly dangling.

"Who are you?" Seeing Li Canghai coming in, the man who was munching on the roast chicken was stunned, he wiped the oil stains on his mouth casually, and asked.

Before Li Canghai could speak, the man who was lying on the bed drinking suddenly jumped down.

"Damn, it's someone who is here, what the hell is it about locking us up in this house?" The man carried a wine jug, rushed to Li Canghai, and scolded and scolded.

As soon as this person opened his mouth, a burst of wine suddenly spurted out, along with the spittle stars, all sprayed on Li Canghai's face.

Li Canghai frowned, wiped the saliva on his face with his sleeve, and said lightly: "You two don't know what's going on?" ”

"Damn, we've been locked up here since yesterday, and no one has explained to us, how do we know what's going on?" The man carrying the wine jug stared at Li Canghai with his eyes and said angrily.

The man who was nibbling on the roast chicken blinked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "If the two of you have something to say slowly, why be angry?" ”

"Feng Maodian. You're not fucking pretending to be garlic here, didn't you have the same angry face when you were locked in? The man with the flask snorted in displeasure.

Feng Maodian grinned, took a bite of the roast chicken, and said slowly: "Zhao Ye, what you said is not right. Although we are locked up here, we have food and drink, and we are not in prison, so why should we be angry? ”

He paused, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and continued: "What's more, since Lord Shangshu locked us up, there is naturally a reason. Now, an adult has finally arrived. Be able to tell us why, and you should be courteous. ”

The man known as Zhao Ye snorted and scolded: "Lao Tzu looks down on you as a hypocrite!" Ahh ”

Zhao Ye spat violently, glared at Li Canghai, and shouted, "Who are you?" What about Shangshu-sama? I want to see him! ”

Feng Maodian bowed down to him, looked extremely polite, and said, "This lord, please take a seat." The last general, Feng Maodian, I don't know what to call an adult? ”

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth rose slightly. Said lightly: "Li Canghai." ”

"So you're Master Li? Disrespectful, disrespectful! Feng Maodian was surprised, and his expression became more respectful.

Zhao Ye was also suddenly stunned, he looked Li Canghai up and down, and said in surprise: "You are really Li Canghai?" ”

Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "It's like a fake." ”

"The last general, Zhao Ye, see Lord Li!" Zhao Ye hurriedly saluted him. He said excitedly: "Lord Li single-handedly turned the tide, not only saving the saint, but also saving the Tang Dynasty!" Your prestige has long been spread throughout the world, and now you can see your lordship. It's really Zhao Ye's three lives! ”

Li Canghai had checked the information of the two of them in advance, and these two people were General Xuanwei and General Mingwei, and they were ranked fourth in the official rank.

The two are the generals of the left and right Shenwu Guards.

The Shenwu Army and the Long Wu Army were in charge of the Emperor's Eastern Tour, but during the Luoyang Rebellion, these two teams were all outside Luoyang City, and the two of them were also outside the city.

When Di Qing went to mobilize the army with the talisman, in order to prevent the turmoil, the two were left on guard in the barracks, because they had not seen Li Canghai.

Li Canghai didn't expect that he would become famous, and even the army knew about it.

"The two generals don't have to be polite, please take a seat!" Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and said.

Zhao Ye and Feng Maodian no longer quarreled, and the three of them exchanged a few polite words, and then sat down.

"My lord, I wonder why you came here?" Feng Maodian asked.

"Yes, my lord, I heard that you were entrusted with the important task of investigating the rebels by the Holy Lord, why did you have time to come here?" Zhao Ye became much more polite at this time, but still asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "This official came here this time because he wanted to ask the two of you for advice. ”

The two glanced at each other, and there was a look of doubt in their eyes at the same time, and they hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, just ask if you have something, and the last general will definitely know everything, and say everything." ”

Li Canghai nodded and said, "It's so good, then the official will get straight to the point." In the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, the two of you were stationed in Guazhou and Anxi respectively, serving as captains, responsible for the safety of the gateways of the two places, this official is not wrong, right? ”

The two were stunned, glanced at each other, frowned slightly, and nodded at the same time.

That year, when the Huaihua general Qin Fu returned to Luoyang, Tubo suddenly sent troops and invaded Guazhou and Anxi with lightning speed. However, you did not resist at that time, did you not? Li Canghai asked indifferently.

The faces of the two changed slightly, as if they sensed something.

Feng Maodian frowned and said, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" What happened back then...... The Holy One already knows that it is not our fault in this matter, and we are just doing what we are told. ”

Li Canghai smiled and said lightly: "Yes, back then, you retreated without a fight and were taken back to the military department for trial, but the strange thing is that not only did you not dismiss your post and investigate after that, but you rose step by step in the next two years, which made this official feel a little interesting." ”

"It's because we have atonement for our sins and the Holy Grace that we have been promoted, which is a normal thing!" Zhao Ye's face became a little solemn, and he took over and said.

"Let the official guess what the so-called 'turning merit into a crime' is all about, is it a bloody battle with Tibet? Or do you identify Qin Fu as collaborating with the enemy and treason? Li Canghai's tone was flat, as if he was saying something that was not normal.

The bodies of the two suddenly shook involuntarily, and the two glanced at each other, each with a look of consternation.

"What do you mean, sir?" Feng Maodian pretended to be puzzled.

"Don't you understand?" Li Canghai smiled indifferently. said: "Then the official will explain it to you one by one." ”

"In the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, Qin Fu was sent to prison when he went home to save his relatives, and he was accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. At the same time, the invasion and occupation of Guazhou and Anxi by Tubo confirmed its crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. The Holy One is wrathed. The three divisions of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Officials, and the Imperial History Observatory tried Qin Fu in Luoyang Mansion. At that time, there were more than 10 witnesses and several pieces of physical evidence, both of which proved Qin Fu's crimes. Coincidentally, among those witnesses, there happened to be two names, if the official was not mistaken, this is where the credit lies, right? Li Canghai said lightly.

The faces of the two changed drastically. Only then did they understand that Li Canghai did not come here to let them out, but to find fault.

Zhao Ye's brows tightened, his chest rose and fell violently, and he grabbed the wine jug and drank wildly.

Feng Maodian lowered his head, fiddling with a wine glass in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

"My lord, you are making such groundless accusations against the general. The last general is going to play the holy one! Feng Maodian said: "The two of us made mistakes, but now this position is indeed won on the battlefield." General Qin has the grace of knowing us, how can the two of us identify him? ”

Li Canghai sneered and said lightly: "That being the case, when Tubo was attacking Guazhou and Anxi, why didn't you send troops to fight, but let them enter?" ”

"This ...... This was General Qin's strategy. Beat the dog in order to close the door! Feng Maodian said with some panic.

"Shut the door and hit the dog?" The corners of Li Canghai's mouth turned up, and he said coldly: "Do you beat a dog with a meat bun?" Qin Fu, as the general of Huaihua, how could he be so stupid? ”

Li Canghai's words changed, and he suddenly shouted: "Do you think that no one knows what you did back then? ”

"My lord! What proof do you have? Have we identified General Qin? Feng Maodian shouted.

"It is true that no one knows what happened back then, Qin Fu has been beheaded all over the house, and all the relevant cases have long disappeared, but if you think that what you did can deceive the world because of this, you are wrong!" Li Canghai stared at the two of them with his eyes like torches, and said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, this official was ordered to investigate the case of Qin Fu's treason with the enemy fourteen years ago, and now there has been great progress, and the reason why this official came to talk to you is to give you a chance to reform your ways!" ”

"My lord, General Qin Fu collaborated with the enemy and treason, but we did not participate, what does this have to do with us?" Feng Maodian frowned.

"This official has a list of witnesses for that year, which records in detail the fact that you identified Qin Fu at that time, since you were not involved in this matter, how did you identify Qin Fu?" Li Canghai took out a list from his arms and said coldly.

"This ...... It is an indisputable fact that General Qin collaborated with the enemy and treason, and we do not want to believe it, but we have not identified General Qin's ....... Feng Maodian said with a dry mouth.

"Enough!" At this moment, Zhao Ye, who had been silent and kept drinking, suddenly yelled.

He threw the wine jug on the ground and smashed it to pieces, his eyes were red, and he roared in a low voice: "Brother Feng, I've been hiding this kind of thing for fourteen years, and I've had enough!" What happened back then...... It's ...... we're sorry for General Qin. ”

"Zhao Ye! Shut up! Feng Maodian suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Brother Feng, have you had a stable life over the years? We have preserved the family and made a fortune, but have we had a day of solid life? Zhao Ye's eyes were bloodshot, his hands clenched into fists, and he said in a low voice: "This is what we owe to General Qin, and now, it's time to pay it back!" ”

"Alas~." Feng Maodian opened his mouth, he let out a long sigh, and then sat down again.

"It's been more than ten years, but I didn't expect this matter to be brought up again, that's it, that's it, maybe this is God's will!" Feng Maodian raised his head and sighed, his face showing sadness.

He glanced at Li Canghai, shook his head and said, "If your lord wants to know anything, just ask!" ”

Li Canghai nodded, he didn't expect the two of them to be so happy, so he said: "For the events of the year, the official has already guessed, and this time I came just to verify whether the guess is correct." If this official's guess is correct, you deliberately let Tubo attack and identify General Qin back then, but you were instructed by someone, yes or no? ”

Zhao Ye and Feng Maodian glanced at each other, Feng Maodian sighed and nodded: "Your guess is right." When we let Tibet enter the border, we were indeed instructed by someone, but that person was not General Qin. ”

"Who instructed it?" Li Canghai asked.

"Rohi Seo!" Feng Maodian said.

"Roshizao?" Li Canghai's brows furrowed.

He has heard of this person, this person is good at torture, he is Li Linfu's henchman, and he co-managed the prison with Cao Jiwen, who was the Jingzhao Law back then, and he didn't know how many loyal ministers and good generals were persecuted.

"As far as this official knows, Luo Xixiao was just a servant of the imperial history back then, and the affairs of this military department were not managed by him, why would you listen to his instructions?" Li Canghai asked.

"My lord doesn't know, there is a ...... in the letter that Luo Xixiao gave me and so on. At that time, the seal of Prime Minister Li, we can only do it. Feng Maodian sighed.

"Li Linfu, the official knows that you are doing ghosts!" Li Canghai scolded in a low voice, and after thinking about it, he then asked, "Since you know that General Qin did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, why do you want to identify him?" ”

"It's ......." Feng Maodian stopped talking again, and he smiled bitterly.

"Although the two of us are promoted by Li Linfu, they are reused under General Qin, General Qin has the grace of knowing us, if we are not forced to be helpless, how can we betray the general?" Feng Maodian shook his head and sighed.

"Fuck! Anyway, I don't want to live anymore, and I'm not afraid of offending anyone, so let's tell the truth! These are all Li Linfu's turtle kings playing tricks in secret! He threatened us that if we didn't do what he said, we would destroy our family's ....... Zhao Ye's eyes were red, and he suddenly raised his fist and slammed it on his chest.

The huge force thumped in his chest, and he did not have the slightest softness on himself, so that blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"I, Zhao Ye, am sorry General Qin! In order to protect the family, he harmed General Qin's family! Over the years, I haven't lived a day of down-to-earth life, whenever I close my eyes, I can always see the figure of General Qin, I'm a fucking ungrateful villain! ”

Zhao Ye's eyes were red, and two lines of tears flowed from his angry tiger eyes, and he scolded himself with tears in his eyes.

Feng Maodian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded: "I don't know if the others are like us, but the two of us have never had a stable life since General Qin's tragic death. Adults may not know that General Qin and I not only have the grace of knowing each other, but also have the feeling of saving lives. General Qin never despised anyone, even the most ordinary soldiers, he regarded him as a brother. On the battlefield back then, if General Qin hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, the two of us would have turned into a pile of bones. Every time I think about this over the years, the two of us feel guilty and want to die. (To be continued.) )
