Chapter 289 Someone stopped the car to complain!
Shen Lanxi’s triumphant return to Beijing this time is an inspiration to the entire Zhou Dynasty. After Emperor Renxiao paid homage to the ancestral temple, he made a special announcement to the world, not to promote how powerful the Zhenbei Army was, but to frighten the Dongchuan rebels.
With this announcement, Shen Lanxi thought that her journey back to Beijing would be smooth, but unexpectedly she was stopped and complained.
"Please save my sister. I am Yan Qiuling, the son of Yanyunguan guard general. I want to sue Yanyunguan deputy general Zhang Shi. He killed my family and occupied my sister. Please make the decision for me." !" Yan Qiuling, who looked like a beggar, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. His thin body looked like he would break his head off at any time because of the vigorous kowtow.
Wei Dongzhu stepped forward to check the beggar. He saw that there were no weapons, and there were no poisons hidden in his nails or teeth. He did not look like he had practiced martial arts, so he asked for details.
Someone had already gone to report to Shen Lanxi, and she heard the family members of the guard at Yanyunguan also coming forward.
"My father is Yan Yunfei, the guard general of Yanyunguan. Our family has guarded Yanyunguan for generations. Ever since the Wei family's army suffered an incident and the Northwest Army was defeated, many people began to persuade my father to support the army and cut off from the imperial court. I His loyal and patriotic father did not want to be with them, so he severely reprimanded those who encouraged him and demoted their military positions. " Yan Qiuling was afraid that they would not believe it, so she became a little excited and spoke very fast. .
"Those people have a grudge. Three years ago, they took advantage of my father to go out on patrol and attacked my family. Except for me and my sister, no one in my family survived. My life was taken advantage of by my sister. During the chaos, he let me change clothes with the children of the people in the city, and hid me until I died. They only survived in the crowd. They took my sister away. Please save my sister!"
Che Mingyuan: "The guard of Yanyun Pass sent Zhang Shi a document of allegiance before."< br>
Cheng Zheng returned to the carriage and retrieved a scroll with the words Yan Yunguan written on the cover. After he unfolded it, he skillfully found a line of words and pointed it out to Shen Lanxi.
Che Mingyuan wanted to take a sideways look, but he had scruples. He raised his head and glanced at Shen Lanxi, and heard her say: "You can take a look!"
The people around him were already curious and hurriedly gathered around to take a look.
It says that Yanyunguan has been in the past ten years. Three years ago, it was Yan Yunfei who was in charge of the army. It records that he was killed by a wandering horse thief when he went out. Later Yan Lieutenant General Zhang Shi continued to be in charge of Yunguan.
Although I knew that Shen Lanxi had someone dedicated to collect information for her and was managed by students from Qinglan Academy, I was still shocked when I saw it again.
If someone with intentions takes this scroll, they will definitely accuse Shen Lanxi of spying on the court official's information and plotting evil intentions.
Because it is recent information and most of the people who know these things are still alive, the above records are very detailed.
Shen Lanxi looked away from the scroll and asked: "Are you Yan Qiuling?"
Yan Qiuling asked about the Zhenbei Army being led by a woman. Did he really see this woman? At that time, there was still some hesitation and distrust in his heart. He believed even more in the male generals around this woman.
Although he did not believe that Shen Lanxi was capable of helping him, Yan Qiuling hesitated for a moment and answered honestly.
“Yes, I am Yan Qiuling.”
Shen Lanxi: "How old are you?"
Yan Qiuling: "Eight years old."
Shen Lanxi glanced at his thin body. Even if he said that he was four or five years old, some people would believe him. However, because of this, Shen Lanxi believed it more.
"Three years ago, when you were five years old, how could you remember so clearly?"
Yan Qiuling said honestly: "It was a horse-drawing veteran under my father who saved me. He has always He kept me in a stable in the army. During the day, I hid in the cellar under the stable. At night, he secretly brought me food. It was he who kept telling me about my father.
Shen Lanxi: "Where is the veteran?"
Yan Qiuling's eyes were red and she choked: "The veteran is dead. When he was leading Zhang Shi's horse, his leg was kicked by his horse and no one gave him any treatment. , died of illness. Before he died, he put me out in a dung truck, and he died not long after he was sent out!"
Shen Lanxi looked at him. : "Who asked you to come to me?"
Yan Qiuling hesitated and said with embarrassment: "No one. At first, I just heard from beggars in the city that there is no age limit for the Zhenbei Army recruitment. As long as you can work, you will be given food. I think the Zhenbei Army must be a good person if they even give food to their children!" Those who heard this were sighing.
Shen Lanxi went straight to the crux of the problem: "You did not surrender to the army, but chose to complain."
Yan Qiuling noticed the strong tone of these words, her body trembled, she raised her head and glanced at Shen Lanxi quickly, swallowed her saliva, He whispered: "They said that the Zhenbei Army was A woman is in charge of the army, so... easy to talk to!"
Shen Lanxi sneered: "How dare a little child look down on women and plot against me?"
Che Mingyuan? The expressions of the others changed and they looked at Yan Qiuling coldly.
Ban Sicao noticed something was wrong with his sharp eyes, and immediately stepped forward, pinched Yan Qiuling's wrist, and lifted up his tattered clothes.
Yan Qiuling couldn't hide her panic anymore and pulled her hand back with all her strength.
Ban Sicao repeated the previous action and looked at his other arm and other parts of his body.
"How can a child who has been living as a refugee in a beggar's den for a long time be fair and clean? Child, you lied to your grandfathers." Ban Sicao kicked Yan Qiuling out angrily. Two meters away.
When Ban Sicao checked Yan Qiuling, others naturally saw it, and they were naturally even more angry.
Had the general not discovered it in time, they would have been deceived by a child.
This kid is too cunning and cunning.
Xiao Fang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "He is so fair and yet so thin. He must be so thin on purpose to win our sympathy!"
Yan Qiuling was ignored by Ban Sicao A merciless kick that almost broke him apart. Even though he was not kicked to death, he vomited a mouthful of blood and struggled for a long time without getting up. When he opened his mouth to speak, he choked on the blood in his mouth and coughed.
"General, I'm sorry..."
"I didn't mean to..."
Yan Qiuling was really scared this time. He felt that the kick just now almost killed him.
He can't die. If he dies, no one will avenge his family!
Wei Dongzhu looked at the child who couldn't help but explain and apologize one after another. He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
Just because the Yan family was somewhat similar to his Wei family, what happened to this child reminded him of himself.
“If you hide anything again, you will be punished as a foreign spy!”
Yan Qiuling fell silent, and just when Wei Dongzhu thought he had fainted, he spoke again.
“I told you, can you really help me?”
Ban Sicao exaggeratedly laughed and walked over angrily: “You still talked to us about it? Are the conditions coming? "
Xiao Fang was also a little angry, this kid is not a good thing.
Shen Lanxi is not one to be threatened: "If you don't want to, forget it, throw him aside, don't block our way!"
Xiao Fang deliberately loudly said: "Yes!"
