Chapter 441

At this point, Xia Jin's words suddenly changed

"Up to now, Xia Jin knows that the general is not only invincible on the battlefield by means of strategy and force, but also admirable for his sharp words, even outside the battlefield."

Xia Jin's words are full of praise and worship to dongfangkuo.

But Dongfang Kuo's heart is clear. Xia Jin is boasting about him. She clearly praises him but belittles him secretly. She laughs at him for being a big man on the street and openly fighting with a woman. It's amazing.

Dongfang Kuo's face changed again and again, just like a palette. After a while, he finally said:

"Come with me, general!"

Fight with this girl, almost forget the business.

At the end of his speech, he turned around and walked in front of him. After a few steps, he turned around and saw that Xia Jin didn't move. He began to urge impatiently:

"I'm still in a daze. I'll protect my reputation. I don't mean you any harm."

Dongfang Kuo pondered that Xia Jinxu had doubts about his behavior because of his holiday with his daughter, so he added the second half sentence.

Knowing that the ancients valued reputation, Xia Jin's scruples dissipated and kept up.

Xia Jin followed dongfangkuo not far behind him. After about half of his kung fu, she stopped outside a study.

Dongfang Kuo looks back at Xia Jin, who is more than two steps away from her, and says in a deep voice:

"Follow me."

Then, seeing Xia Jin nodding, he raised his foot and went to the study.

Although Xia Jin was surprised at the location chosen by dongfangkuo, she did not have too much doubt and continued to keep up.

The environment inside the study is quiet and elegant. Xia Jin goes directly through the study and enters the backyard with dongfangkuo.

Compared with the front, the backyard is quiet and the noise on the street is far away.

Dongfang Kuo leads Xia Jin into a simple room, and they sit opposite each other on the soft couch behind the screen.

"Xia Jin, do you know why our general didn't give up in the face of imperial edicts these years?"

"The general should have his own consideration. Xia Jin is stupid and dare not guess."

Xia Jin once heard a few words from Wu's group about the reason why Dongfang Kuo resigned and refused to be an official.

However, she did not forget what had just happened on the street. In the end, although she had the upper hand, the arguments with a general who could be used at any time were not good and unnecessary.

Dongfang Kuo seemed to have expected that Xia Jin would answer like this, but he didn't force her to do so. After a long silence, he let out a deep sigh and spoke slowly:

"I came from the same military camp with Hu Feng, a general of Zhennan who was wiped out nine years ago because he was involved in a conspiracy. We are of the same temperament and have a good personal relationship.

When Han Xiwen reported a list and several secret letters to the imperial court, claiming that they were the evidence of Hu Feng's intention to rebel, I argued for him, intending to find an opportunity for him to defend himself in front of the king.

But at that time, the Emperor just ascended the great treasure, and his throne was unstable. He could not listen to my supplementary words, so he ordered to kill all the people on the list.

After this incident, I was disheartened and determined not to be an official any more, so I abandoned the seal and left. In the face of many summoning orders from the imperial court, I refused to help.

Xia Jin, you know, Hu Feng is a great hero and a good general who cherishes the common people.... "

A few wisps of reminiscence and sadness appear on the face of the East's broad and majestic, and the whole person's breath becomes painful in the moment.

As a minister, he is loyal to the monarch, patriotic, compassionate for the people, and full of blood on the great rivers and mountains.

But in the end, it is their own death, more involved in the innocent family.

How can he not feel sad and disappointed?

"From the general's words, Xia Jin ventured to guess that you were suspicious of the case of the rebellion of the Zhennan general?"

Xia Jin can't help but try. At the same time, there is a doubt in her heart. Could it be that Dongfang youruo didn't keep her promise, peeked at the contents of the rice paper and told Dongfang Kuo about it, so Dongfang Kuo came to try?

"Doubt?"

Dongfang Kuo seems to have heard the biggest joke in the world. His tone is slightly raised, and there is a strong determination in his tone

"Xia Jin, I have never doubted it, but I firmly believe that Hu Feng will never fight against anyone!"

Hearing this, Xia Jin could not help frowning

"Why is the general so determined?"

"Ha ha ~"

Seeing that she asked again, dongfangkuo suddenly laughed

"Xia Jin, you don't have to tempt me like this. I might as well confess to you. You Ruo did peek at the contents of the rice paper and tell me about it. Since I was a child, I told them that even if all the people in the world said that the Zhennan general was a traitor, they would never believe such a big lie in the world... "

Therefore, when Dongfang you Ruo could not help but be curious, secretly opened the rice paper and saw that it was related to the Zhennan General Hu Feng that his father had mentioned repeatedly in front of their brother and sister since childhood, he should keep it in mind.

When dongfangkuo arrived in DIDU this morning, she immediately told him about it.

So, just now, the eastern rich messenger went to king Qi's house to spread the word that he was going to set up a dinner party for Xia Jin in the general's house, and the Handan housekeeper ordered him to report to the criminal division.

But Xia Jin refused his invitation, so he had to come to meet her in person to talk about it.

Xia Jin felt the true distribution of dongfangkuo's inner feelings. After listening to his story, her doubts were all dispelled, and she said:

"So the general thought that when I was secretly investigating the case, he set up a dinner party to invite him in front of him, and then came to see him himself."

"Well!"

Dongfang Kuo definitely nodded. Xia Jin was embarrassed. This time, it was really her villain's heart.

With a slight breath, she spoke again

"In this case, Xia Jin might as well tell the general truthfully. This time, I spent a lot of time fighting for the death of Chen's family in Yancheng from the Ministry of punishment to the Department of criminal justice, and personally went to investigate. The real purpose is to take this opportunity to secretly go to Kecheng to investigate Han Xiwen, waiting for an opportunity to find clues about the case of that year."

"I've already guessed that you're going to Yancheng for a purpose. Xia Jin, I'd like to meet you here today. I have something to give you... "

At this point, dongfangkuo took out two letters from his chest.

One of the letters was yellow because of its age.

He put the two letters on the table and pushed them towards Xia Jin. Dongfang Kuo said solemnly:

"One of these two letters was written to me by a deputy general of Hu Feng nine years ago on the eve of his being killed. The other one came from Kecheng more than half a year ago. The identity of the person who wrote the letter has become a mystery. In the past half a year, I have never stopped investigating, but I still can't find out his identity. I only know that he may be working in Han Xiwen's house. If you can find this person in Kecheng, it will be of great benefit to the investigation and handling of this case. "
