498 Pet.i.tion?
“You’re a little too talkative today.”
He was so frightened that he immediately cupped his fists and knelt down, “Great general, please forgive me!”
“That’s enough,” Shao Shuting waved his hand again. He didn’t want to argue with this subordinate. He was quite magnanimous. “Tell them not to come. The people in this village are all ordinary people. Don’t scare them.”
Although he didn’t think that the two little devils would be frightened, not everyone else was like the two little devils he had grown fond of.
He didn’t know what the two little devils ate when they grew up. Even if he was brave when he was young, he had never been as calm as they were when they were at their age.
“Remember to bring the four treasures with you when you come back,” Shao Shuting said again. “I’m going to submit a letter to the Emperor to ask for leave.”
“Yes, general!” The subordinate was about to leave immediately, but after taking two steps, he turned back, “I heard that there’s been a murder in this town. The two people in an alley were…”
Before he could finish, Shao Shuting said, “Yes, I killed them.”
The subordinate had already expected this and was not surprised, “Do you want to follow this lead?”
“They’re dead, what’s there to investigate?” Shao Shuting suddenly narrowed his eyes and sneered. “In this world, other than the Ji family and CConsort Yi, there’s no one else who would repeatedly try to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Shao family.”
Consort Yi was the Second Prince that came from Yi Xuanyuan’s mother.
The Ji family was Consort Yi’s maiden family, so the Ji family naturally supported the Second Prince’s succession to the throne.
By the river, Xue Yan was was.h.i.+ng vegetables while watching Jiang Yue clean the fish.
It was a gra.s.s carp that weighed more than three kilograms. It was alive and kicking just now, but in Jiang Yue’s hands, it was not long before its stomach was cut open, its gills were dug out, and it was washed clean.
He was a little dazed by her skillful movements.
“Do you think Shao Shuting will be picked up today?” Jiang Yue said as she placed the clean fish on the table.
“Logically speaking, he should.” After all, someone had come to look for Shao Shuting. There was no reason to let a general with outstanding military achievements recuperate in the farmer’s house.
“What if there was an accident?” Jiang Yue glanced at him.
Since he didn’t leave, there might still be changes.
“I hope not.” Xue Yan let out a breath. He still wanted Shao Shuting to be taken away.
He couldn’t leave Shao Shuting, a loyal and righteous general who had died for the people in his previous life, in the lurch. Now that he was saved, as long as he didn’t cause too much trouble, he could still be brought back and there wouldn’t be any problems.
Since he was willing to save Shao Shuting, he must have been a good person in his past life. Jiang Yue couldn’t help but be curious. “You said that he died in his forties in his previous life. How did he die?”
Xue Yan was silent for a long time. Then he said, “Among those who died in the battle, the Shao family, regardless of age, women, and children, all died with him. They would rather die than surrender. The southern army would also rather die than surrender. The entire army was annihilated. The river turned red that day.”
Jiang Yue didn’t feel anything at first, but she couldn’t help but feel a deep respect for the Shao family and the southern battlefront army when she heard this.
It didn’t matter if she was originally from this place or not, the Shao family and the southern army’s heart for Da Ling and the people was worthy of respect.
Since he had already told Jiang Yue about it, Xue Yan also briefly told her about the current situation of the Shao family.
“His father is the Duke. The Shao family has always been in an ill.u.s.trious position since the beginning of Da Ling. His eldest brother, Shao Boqi, will inherit the t.i.tle of Duke in the future. His second brother, Shao Zhongxi, has already been given the t.i.tle of a prince with a different surname because of his many military achievements. He himself has also been given the t.i.tle of southern general because of his outstanding military achievements. His only sister is the current Empress, and his only nephew is the Crown Prince.”
