2587 Chapter 2588-something is wrong
Gu Xin ate a few of the prawns that Lu Zheng peeled for her before she wiped her mouth and looked at the others, ” “You guys think there’s no problem too?”
The few nanlin envoys shook their heads, but one of them frowned and did not move.
From the clothes he was wearing, it could be seen that he did not belong to the same category as Lord Jiang and the others. He was a military official.
Gu Xin immediately locked her gaze on him and asked, ” “Does this general have any ideas?”
Among the three diplomatic corps that had come from Jiangnan, nanlin was slightly inferior in terms of the strength of the accompanying guards. This nanlin general was the head of the accompanying guards.
However, Gu Xin never looked at a person’s appearance. She didn’t think that this general from nanlin was any worse than the one from dongzhe. Of course, he definitely couldn’t be compared to Jia Cang.
He was the general!
A light bulb went off in Gu Xin’s head. Nanlin’s military was controlled by the consort’s family. In other words, this general was working for the consort’s family.
Could it be that he knew something and didn’t want to say it?
Or was he hesitating because of Princess Long Zhu ‘er’s matter?
The general of nanlin looked at Gu Xin and took a deep breath, ” “Princess Xinxin, when the young general was attacked, I happened to be one of his entourage. There are indeed some problems that I can’t figure out. I’ve mentioned it before, but I don’t know how the old general and the king communicated later on. Until now, we still haven’t found out who the murderer was.”
An envoy from nanlin reacted and said, ” “That’s right, general mu. At that time, you were the general by the Prince Consort’s side. All these years, you’ve been promoted with the Prince Consort’s contributions. I’ve almost forgotten that you were also there.”
General mu pursed his lips and said, ” at that time, the major general was covered in injuries. His internal organs were affected. His injuries were very serious. The scar on his face almost hurt his bones. The young general, however, could run back to his residence alone. He said that he had killed a portion of those people, but a few of them had escaped. The young general fainted after he finished speaking. “Originally, when we arrived in the capital, young general would bring me and one of our brothers with him wherever he went, but he didn’t do so that night. That night, we watched the young general fall asleep before we went to rest. We didn’t know when the young general left, whether he went out on his own or was called out by someone. At that time, the old general had also asked the gatekeeper and the manservant in the major general’s room, but no one knew. After the major general woke up, he said that it was a little stuffy in the house and he wanted to go out alone for a breath of air. He didn’t go out much during the day because many girls were always pestering him. It was impossible for the girls to come out at night, so he went out at night. They encountered an assassination at the river bank. He was afraid of being discovered, so he deliberately avoided the manservant and the gatekeeper. He walked to the river not far from the house.
This incident happened six or seven years ago. Except for this general mu, all the other talented people present were officials in the court at that time.
Because they couldn’t find the mastermind, the consort family and the Prince of Nan Lin didn’t continue to investigate, so many people didn’t think about the details.
The victim didn’t even care and brought the eldest Princess home to live her life, so why should they care so much?
Hearing what general mu said, Gu Xin became interested and asked, ” “General mu, may I ask what you felt was wrong back then? What did you tell your young general and old general?”
General mu pursed his lips and said, ” at that time, the major general was covered in injuries. His internal organs were affected. His injuries were very serious. The scar on his face almost hurt his bones. The young general, however, could run back to his residence alone. He said that he had killed a portion of those people, but a few of them had escaped.

That day, I brought some people to the river to investigate and found something wrong.”
