Chapter 91 He Always Has to Accept Regret
"Do you mean there is someone above the Liu family?" Xu Qingcheng took the cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Liu Yuan nodded. "Although there was only the Liu family's seal on the letter I intercepted at the border, my father's words revealed some awe. So I suspect that the role played by the Liu family is probably the same as Jiang Zhongguo's. They are just doing the work. There must be someone above them."

At that time, Liu Ming was already the prime minister, and the position that could make him bow his head and submit to the emperor could only be high, not low.

"A big shot." Xu Qingcheng said.

"This is the most troublesome thing." Liu Yuan pinched his brows in annoyance, "I guess the royal family will be involved."

"It is difficult for us to make a decision on this matter. I will write a letter and send it to the imperial city for your majesty to make the final decision." Xu Qingcheng said calmly.

Once it involves the royal family, it becomes the royal family's own business and it is not the turn of outsiders like them to make irresponsible remarks.

Liu Yuan did not object, but thought about it a little more, "That's what I meant. You can also call Zhong Ting. He is His Majesty's man, and His Majesty will trust his words more."

After all, Xu Qingcheng was backed by the Xu family, and was involved in the family struggle. But Zhong Ting was different, he was a pure minister promoted by His Majesty, without any background, and was only loyal to Emperor Jingyuan.

"Don't worry, I know." Xu Qingcheng made up his mind and sent someone to invite Zhong Ting.

Xu Qingcheng was about to go out when Liu Yuan grabbed his sleeve.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingcheng stopped and waited.

"You ordered troops to quietly surround Jiang's residence." Liu Yuan took out the account book and handed it to Xu Qingcheng, saying calmly, "The military pay that was withheld at the border over the years has been secretly transported to Jiangnan and is in Jiang Zhongguo's hands."

"My purse."

The accounts were densely packed, the earliest one was three years ago, and the amount of each account thereafter was astonishingly large.

"Yes, Your Majesty is keeping a close eye on the border. They dare not start the transportation from the border, so they chose Jiangnan as a transit point."

Whether it is Liu Ming or Jiang Zhongguo, they are just chess pieces on that person's chessboard.

"I will discuss this with Zhong Ting. Let's mobilize troops to surround Jiang's residence now." Xu Qingcheng closed the account book and returned the item to Liu Yuan. "Keep this item. It's the only thing...that can prove your innocence."

The idea of ​​replacing people is too alarmist. Without solid evidence, it will be hard to convince people.

Liu Yuan patted the dust off the account book, his expression unclear, and after a moment he smiled, "My business... is not urgent, let me finish dealing with the Jiang family's affairs first."

Then he said: "Just surround it, don't act rashly, and respond to all changes with the same attitude."

"I know, don't worry." Xu Qingcheng went out to discuss with Zhong Ting.

Liu Yuan stared at Xu Qingcheng's back for a long time, and after a while, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

After not seeing him for so many years, this big fool finally knows how to adapt.

Liu Yuan raised his head to drink a cup of tea, and suddenly the childish voice of a little girl sounded in his ears.

"Are there only royal family members above the prime minister?"

Liu Yuan was so busy talking that he almost forgot about the two little cubs he brought with him.

The little girl is quirky and has some of the charm of himself when he was young. Liu Yuan likes this little girl very much.

"Not all of them are from the royal family, but they make up the majority. Apart from the royal family, there are only your majesty and..." The smile on Liu Yuan's face suddenly froze, and then a haze covered his face. "Who else?" Xihe just put her hand into her mouth and was pulled away by Xiao Mingxuan.

Zhong Ting followed Xu Qingcheng in. He heard these words as soon as he stepped into the door. His dignified face showed no emotion at all. He only said lightly: "And... Prince Anyuan's Palace."

The only king of the opposite sex, a major concern for Emperor Jingyuan.

Xiao Mingxuan reached out and turned the little girl's head around and buried it in his arms. He leaned close to Xihe's ear and whispered, "It's okay, little Xier."

Xu Qingcheng is a big fool, but Liu Yuan is not. The martial arts champion of that year had a bright and clear mind.

Just be brief. If you say too much, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

"Okay." Xihe lay obediently in Xiao Mingxuan's arms and stopped talking.

Xu Qingcheng didn't notice anything unusual here. He was completely immersed in his own conjectures. After a moment, he slowly said, "Not really, is it? Prince Anyuan's mansion has been keeping to itself in the imperial city for many years, and there has been no major movement. Prince Anyuan himself has never left the house, and all he does all day is seek pleasure and immortality."

"Not necessarily. What seems the most unlikely is actually the easiest to overlook, and is also the most important." Liu Yuan has been at the border for many years, and has handled countless secret letters coming and going. His sensitivity is far beyond that of ordinary people. "What do you think, General Zhong?"

Zhong Ting's qualifications were much higher than those of Xu Qingcheng and Liu Yuan. He frowned slightly and said, "Prince Anyuan is indeed obedient, but... he is too obedient. It seems like he is pretending."

Then he said, "But if he is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, what can he do? His troops have been taken away long ago."

Prince Anyuan was brought to the capital by Emperor Jingyuan. Although his fiefdom was still there, his soldiers had long been disbanded and organized into four major camps.

"Unless..." Zhong Ting pursed his lips and glanced at Liu Yuan vaguely.

Liu Yuan immediately responded, "Unless he has a private army."

"It's a serious crime for a vassal king to keep a private army." Xu Qingcheng tapped the table slowly. "It's not difficult to keep people. Jiang Zhongguo has the money, but what about the weapons? Who will provide him with a place?"

Xu Qingcheng's words were suddenly stuck in his throat. He seemed to suddenly remember something and looked up abruptly to meet Zhong Ting's eyes. He saw that the other party nodded slightly at him.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

As for weapons, they were attacked along the way. There was an weapons factory under the cliff, and the destination of those weapons was also the imperial city.

The room was silent and no one spoke for a while.

After a long time, Zhong Ting sighed and said, "These are just our guesses. I will write a letter to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty decide."

He then looked at the lazy and unserious Liu Yuan, hesitated for a while and said, "How about you write one too and I'll send it up together?"

On the way here, Xu Qingcheng had already briefly informed Zhong Ting of Liu Yuan's affairs. This young and famous general had experienced a lot, which made Zhong Ting sigh.

"Me?" Liu Yuan was surprised for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "I have already explained my story, why bother with this?"

I don't know what Liu Yuan said that touched Xu Qingcheng's nerves. The man who was so slow and measured just now suddenly exploded, and his words were quite aggressive. "Don't you want to go back to the imperial city? Don't you want to go back to the border?"

Liu Yuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, then disappeared, "Qingcheng, my martial arts are all gone, and my meridians are almost broken. I am lucky to be able to save my life, why should I get involved?"

Liu Yuan was very aware of his situation. If he got involved, it would only cause more trouble. He brought the account book out, and his mission was accomplished.

From now on, I will live in Jiangnan, hiding my identity and living as a rich and idle person.

He must always accept regrets, accept emptiness, and accept being oblivious to the world.
