After losing my memory, I became a soft double for the general

Chapter 169
Luo pear courtyard has become a piece of scorched earth, the trunk of the pear tree in the courtyard is scorched black, exuding a suffocating and unpleasant smell of burnt.

Jiang Ling frantically rummaged through the room Su Mei was in, but Mu Feng knew that the person the general was looking for was no longer alive.

Jiang Ling had already stayed in the Luoliyuan where only a few beams were left after burning for three days and three nights. Her eyes were red and bleeding was about to ooze. Except for the master and servant of Luoliyuan, three people in the Jiangfu were buried in the fire. no deposit.The only servant in the mansion was a servant named Yan'er from Yuzhutang who disappeared.

Mu Feng was ordered to track down the family of the slave girl, and heard that she got a large sum of money a few days ago. On the night of the Jiang Mansion fire, she went back home, and then left the city overnight to join relatives in Jinzhou.

On the day of the fire, someone saw Yan'er appearing in the Jiangfu kitchen, acting suspiciously and furtively.

Moreover, Xing Ruyan once lived in Yuzhuyuan for a period of time, and Yan'er was once favored by Xing Ruyan.

Mu Feng went to the Xing Mansion to arrest people, and now Xing Ruyan is locked in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Can she explain?"

Jiang Ling stood in front of the burning house, motionless, only the red cloak fluttering in the wind behind him. Since he came back from Mobei, he has been wearing this black armor, just like a god of war in a temple sculpture.

It's just that Mu Feng knew the general's temperament changes in the past three days, the grief and indignation in his heart, and the coldness between his eyebrows. Although he didn't mention Miss Su a word, he knew that the more the general suppressed and didn't mention it, the suppressed emotions in his heart seemed to be at any time. Volcanoes that erupt.

Mu Feng shook his head and said: "She only said that she was taken to a mysterious room. The room was very dark and there was no light coming in. The man who kidnapped her was a man with extraordinary martial arts. There was also a woman in the room. Looking at her face clearly, the woman's back is thin and thin, as if she doesn't like to see the light."

Only then did Jiang Ling turn around, with an expression as if a sharp knife had been unsheathed, about to drink the blood from her neck.

"It turns out that she is still in the city. The one from the North Palace killed two more court ladies. If this general sends her there, what do you think will happen to her?"

He paused and said, "She has lived too long."

It was clearly the weather in August, but Mu Feng felt that the temperature around him dropped sharply, as if in the twelfth lunar month of winter, a world of ice and snow.

Mu Feng naturally knew that Jiang Ling was talking about Lin Sujin who was absconded, and that the man who knew martial arts and the woman who was afraid of light in Xing Ruyan's mouth was Lin Xi and Lin Sujin who had escaped from the East Palace.

"What should Ms. Xing do? She has been hungry for three days. If she continues to starve, she will die in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Emperor Chengwen relied heavily on his generals. Because of Jiang Ling's contribution to saving him at Wan'an Temple and supporting the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he was named a first-rank military marquis and a pillar of national protection. With Jiang Ling's current power and status, Xing Ruyan was dead. In the prison, the Holy Majesty will not punish the crime.

The imperial decree to bestow marriage rewards will be delivered today, but it is a pity that Miss Su and the unborn young master were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Mu Feng couldn't help but sighed deeply.

"Yan'er will be killed on the spot, you go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and let Xing Ruyan finish it on his own."

In the past, he was too merciful and let go of those who hurt Su Mei, so he gave them an opportunity to attack Su Mei.

Thinking of Su Mei, his heart ached again, and bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"General, please take care of your health. If Miss Su is still here, she won't want to see the general like this!"

If she saw him like this, would she be reluctant to leave him?
He shook his head and denied it, he was sleepless, physically and mentally damaged, and always felt that Su Mei was right in front of him.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the shadow turned into a thousand and ten thousand Su Mei's faces, smiling at him, crying at him, with expressions of aggrieved or shy, and he wanted to touch them, those shadows disappeared in front of him, like Dream bubbles.

There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, she would not be reluctant, she was not Su Mei, she was Qin Zhen, the woman who did not hesitate to draw a knife on her, she was so cruel, and she walked so decisively.

He didn't feel a trace of tears slipping down from the corner of his eyes, his heart seemed to be crushed by someone pressing on the ground, and his heart ached like twisted.

If she wanted his life, she could just take it.

But she has always been so cruel, saying goodbye to herself in this decisive way.

He vomited out another mouthful of blood and held his breath. He couldn't fall down yet. He wanted to kill the enemy and avenge Su Mei.

In the early morning of the next day, he personally led troops to surround the dilapidated house in the north of the city. When Lin Xi fell in front of Lin Sujin, he was shot into a sieve by the arrow in Jiang Ling's hand. , with his eyes still open, he said to Lin Sujin with the last bit of strength: "Miss, run away."

Lin Sujin's tears were all shed. She had stayed in this small house for too long, and the musty smell in the room was suffocating. After learning that Lin Xi did not take Su Mei away, she knew that her death was approaching. She was just lingering and waiting to die.

She was finally free.

Tears flowed silently, she closed her eyes, and wanted to bite her tongue to kill herself, but Jiang Ling grabbed her neck with a force that seemed to break her neck, her face flushed because of suffocation, she had to open her mouth Breathing heavily, Mu Feng blocked her mouth with the rag in his hand.

She was soon bound hands and feet, pressed to the ground, like a slaughtered animal.

"Take it away, and send it to the North Palace tonight."

The North Palace is much better without being cold. I heard that Jinshang is kind and is a good emperor who loves the people like a son. Although the abolished prince Murong Jin committed the crime of treason and regicide, the emperor still cared about his brotherhood and spared him the death penalty , Shut him in the North Palace, let him fend for himself.

The Beixing Palace has not been repaired for many years, and it is said that it was haunted by ghosts.At night, the palace guards could hear the eerie whimpering.

Tonight was a hoarse scream. The woman's miserable cry was infinitely amplified by the empty and dilapidated palace. The two old eunuchs who were watching the night were deaf and dumb.

The dumb man pointed at the palace, then pointed at the deaf man, making ahhh sounds in his throat.

The deaf man didn't hear anything. Seeing the panicked look on the dumb man's face, he felt that he was making a fuss, "Is it too late? It will be dawn in an hour. We can go back to rest after finishing our errands."

He didn't expect the mute to respond to him, he folded his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes, and dozed off with lowered eyelids.

It was already noon the next day when Lin Sujin's body was found. She was not fully clothed, and her body was covered with whip wounds. There were bright red wounds, and her white dress was almost stained red with blood.

Murong Jin was disheveled, with dirty and messy hair hanging down in front of his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly. With a whip in his hand, he pointed at the corpse lying on the ground, and laughed loudly: "She's dead, it's not fun at all, how could she die?" die."

He seemed to go mad again, and raised his whip to beat the motionless corpse.

The maid delivering the meal shook her head, and said to the maid beside her, "Another one has died, the madness of the deposed prince has become more and more severe, and somehow this woman ended up in this palace, and was beaten to death by the deposed prince. It's so miserable."

"Who says it's not! Let's go quickly, the deposed prince will go crazy later, and we will be the ones who are unlucky."

The door was locked, and it didn't take long before a few eunuchs finally came in and carried Lin Sujin's body out.

……

Half a year later, in the Lin Mansion in the capital, Lin Liangchen was sitting in the hexagonal gazebo cooking tea when Lin Jiu stepped forward and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Shuozhou."

Lin Liangchen hurriedly said: "She has finally received a letter, bring it quickly."

Since the fire in Jiangfu, she went to Shuozhou and gave birth to a child. In order not to implicate him, she even hid her hiding place from him.

He unfolded the letter and read it, then put the letter on the coals and burned it.

The pear blossoms in the courtyard rustled and fell. The pure white pear blossoms were like snow on the branches. A gust of wind blew and the fallen petals flew. He held a light petal in his hand and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff.

Lin Jiu said again: "If Miss Su knows that the general is ill, will she go back to Beijing because of it?"

"She just can't get over the hurdle in her heart. It's been more than half a year, and she should be relieved. She will come to see him for the last time."

He watched the letter in the charcoal fire turn into ashes, and a wisp of blue smoke drifted away. It took him a long time to realize the fact that Su Mei didn't have him in her heart. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have written Xing Ruyan to him The letter was handed over to Jiang Ling, who let Jiang Ling uncover Xing Ruyan's conspiracy.

"The general is critically ill, as a colleague, I should also go and see, let's go!"

When Su Mei came back from patrolling the shop, she first went to the back room to hug her four-month-old son, kissed his chubby cheek, and then fed her son. The infant burped contentedly, and then Fell asleep.

Looking at the eyebrows and eyes similar to Jiang Ling, she fell into deep thought.

That day's fire, only Luo Liyuan's fire was the biggest, Jiang Ling went to Mobei, the mansion caught fire, Su Mei knew that the purpose behind the arsonist was her, so she used her plan and changed into a maid's clothes from the wing room The last dog hole went out, and before leaving, a fire was added in the courtyard, and the entire Luoliyuan was burned to ashes.

She escaped for more than half a year. After Bao'er was born, she has been running between Yangzhou and Shuozhou, and opened several shops in Shuozhou.

Nanny Shang pushed the door open and came in with a solemn expression: "Miss Qin, the general is critically ill."

Grandma Shang's eyes turned red, she shed tears, and said rather sadly: "The general has never even seen his own son, so he will..."

She choked up as she spoke.

Su Mei's heart was startled, and she suddenly felt her heart be stuffy, with an indescribably sad feeling, "How could this be?"

Ever since she gave birth to Xiaobao, she has devoted all her attention to Bao'er, and occasionally she would think of Jiang Ling when she was free, but she never expected to hear about Jiang Ling again, it turned out that he was in critical condition.
