Chapter 303 Missing Information

"Zeng Jiuyan gave it to me?"

In the courtyard of Bai's house, Bai Ling hesitated to accept the roll of paper that Bai Yi handed over.

"What's in it, have you seen it?"

"No." Bai Yi said softly, "He only asked me to hand it over to you, he didn't tell me to see it."

The paper roll was a little heavy in the hand, and Bo Ling took off the string on it, and as soon as he unfolded it, one or two pieces of letter paper inside fell out.She leaned over to pick it up, and under the moonlight, the first two lines of the letter came into view——

"My brother Hui Shi, are you safe?"

Bo Ling frowned, and quickly picked up the letter.She first flipped through the seven or eight sheets of paper wrapped in the roll - each of them was a letter, and the handwriting was very neat, and the papers used were all of the same edition. They looked very new, so it could be seen that they should have been transcribed recently. A letter rather than an original.

Looking at the inscription again, the time span of these letters has been written successively from 32 years in the gap to three years ago.

——Here are all letters written by Shen Jichuan to Hui Shi.

Bai Ling became more and more surprised, she raised her eyes to look at Bai Yi again, "Where did Zeng Jiuyan get these things?"

Bai Yi shook his head, "He just said, if you think these things are useless, you can burn them down, and he won't mention what he gave us today."

"Accordingly, these things have indeed been burned..." Bo Ling murmured in a low voice.

——The letter written by Shen Jichuan to Hui Shi, if Hui Shi still kept it, it was probably destroyed in the fire in the West Guesthouse.

"Let me see..." She hurried back to the room and read carefully to the dancing candles.

**
"My brother Hui Shi, are you safe?
"The army retreated to Ruyang Pass today, so I got the leisure time to write the letter. It should be autumn when the letter arrives at your place, and your green plum wine should have been brewed, but unfortunately I still can't go back to Beijing this year. You can only drink alone.

"I went to Beiying where Changsheng was stationed some time ago, and talked with him all night. He is really old, faster than me. When we talked about the current situation of the four northern states, we sighed for a while... …It hurts so much to see it look like this day by day!

"Thinking back when Chang Sheng was still a teenager when he left Beijing, and now his hair is as gray as mine, I really want the emperor to come and see him, and also see the sufferings of the people on the frontier over the years, maybe at that time, the emperor will take the initiative to go to the north, Have you cleared up the Jinren?"

……

**
Bai Ling looked at ten lines at a glance—I always felt that the general was a little too bold in the letter. If the letter was robbed by others before it reached Hui Shi's hands, it would be a slander and false opinion. Sheji's crime.

Between the lines, Shen Jichuan's trust in Hui Shi can be seen everywhere.

Bo Ling read three or four letters later, and although each one talked about different things, the themes were similar to each other.

Shen Jichuan talked about his life in the northern border. For example, during his inspection in Lidong, he discovered that several Huotou battalion soldiers from the Yanzhou garrison sneaked out of the barracks at night and hunted several wolves.He was very angry, and after disposing of these soldiers in public according to military law, he burned the wolf skins they hunted back in front of everyone.As a result, that winter, more than half of the incidents of AWOL in the Yanzhou Army decreased;

Another letter said that some spies who had been bought by the gold people incited the refugees and wanted to attack the local government.As a result, the night before the operation, Shen Jichuan ordered someone to set up a large porridge shed thirty miles away from the government office, so thousands of refugees rushed to the porridge shed before dawn, and the few remaining Hundreds of Jinren spies were all detained and brought to justice.

And he used envoys to instigate Jin tribes to fight each other, and used coded messages in the army to toughen the military inspection of Song Bozong's party members... The corners of Bo Ling's mouth rose when he saw it, but he still felt that something was wrong.

The letters ended three years ago.

Look at the old man in this letter, and think about the old man curled up in the general's mansion now.

What happened after 42 years of Geon Hee?

Thinking about it, Bo Ling put all the letters on the candles to ignite, then pinched one end of the letter paper, and threw the burning fire ball into the copper basin in the corner outside the door.

Bai Yi looked at the gradually extinguished flame, with a bit of pity in his eyes, "...is it useless?"

Bai Ling shook her head, and the flames flickered in her dark pupils.

"What is written on paper is really useless, but what is not written can be very important."

Something that wasn't written...?
Bai Yi frowned, silently thinking about this riddle-like answer.

In the night breeze, Bai Ling stretched himself out, "Next time you see Zeng Jiuyan again, thank him for me, it's really kind."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Zhen, the supervisor of ceremonies, had already put on a new robe, yawned, and sat in front of the big wooden table of the eunuch holding a pen.

What was different from usual was that he was holding a big chubby orange in his arms.

Daju followed suit and yawned.

The Holy Majesty didn't have anyone to beat or kill in the past few days, so Yuan Zhen's work was lightened, and he just had time to do a good job of tossing around the cattery over Qinyuan.

This orange cat named "Stupid Head" is the one he is closest to. Now that he is ordered to suppress cats in the palace, he simply takes it with him and raises it.

It's just that in this way, he has to change five or six sets of clothes a day-the cat is squatting beside him, so why not hold it in his arms and touch it?However, it is easy to stick hair to the clothes when being carried around. In order to avoid being unclean when Emperor Jianxi suddenly summoned him, he had to change them frequently.

But Yuan Zhen himself was happy, he didn't need to wash the clothes anyway, he just changed a few more sets every day, and he didn't think it was too troublesome.

Suddenly a palace man trotted in, accidentally tripped over the threshold when entering, and stumbled into the room.

Daju was startled, and jumped out of Yuan Zhen's arms with a cry.

When the palace man raised his head again, he saw Yuan Zhen's murderous face in front of him, "You're going to die!"—every word seemed to pop out from between his teeth.

The palace servants were so frightened that they lost their minds, and immediately kowtowed, banging their heads, "Your servant has come in! Your servant——"

"Speak up if you have something to say." Yuan Zhen rolled his eyes, turned around coldly, changed his face and clapped his hands lightly, coaxing Daju who was under the table to come out.

"There are, there are people outside asking to see Eunuch Yuan..."

"Didn't I say I won't see anyone in the morning, let him come in the afternoon?"

"The slaves can't stop him. Eunuch Jia said that if the slaves dare to stop him again, he will, he will—"

Hearing the word Jia Gonggong, Yuan Zhen stopped teasing the cat, and he turned around, "Jia Yuchun is here?"

"En." The palace man nodded repeatedly.

Yuan Zhen's eyes sank slightly, and he sneered, "If you stop him again, what will happen to him?"

The palace man twitched for a while, and finally said aggrievedly, "Eunuch Jia said that if the slaves dare to stop him, he will let them go to work in the laundry department tomorrow..."

Yuan Zhen snorted, "It's easy to go to the clothes department even if you don't pay attention to entering the door."

The palace man's body shook suddenly, and he kowtowed again.

"Stop!" Yuan Zhen was a little annoyed, "Don't hit the ground here, you're scaring someone! Go get the board yourself, and we won't pursue today's matter."

"Thank you, Eunuch, thank you, Eunuch!" The palace man bowed again and again, "...Then, where is Eunuch Jia?"

"Tell him to wait for me outside." Yuan Zhen brushed off his hair, "Our family will come as soon as we change our clothes."

As soon as the palace servants left, Yuan Zhen bent down again, trying to hug the cat, but Daju lay under the table, turned over on his belly, and did not respond to Yuan Zhen's hand.

"Hi." Yuan Zhen grinned, "I don't think you should be called a fool, you should be called a coward."
