Lu Qiqi transmigrated into a chaotic world of famine. With no parents and carrying a little sister in tow, she had to face immense hardship.
On the road during her escape, while others drank ...
The entire Cen family, numbering in the dozens, was executed on the orders of the Second Prince because of his embezzlement.
Connecting all these events, one can't help but admire General Wu's masterful planning and ingenuity in devising schemes within schemes!
Lu Qiqi's information was fragmented and disconnected, so naturally she couldn't think of that much.
So Song Yanqing explained, "General Wu is ostensibly working for the Second Prince, but he has taken in a beautiful concubine sent by the Second Prince to keep an eye on him."
Behind the scenes, they colluded with the Tatars to infiltrate enemy troops into the city and hide them in the labor service office.
The matter of the grain camp was his way of creating a situation where the army was short of food, so that the Tatars could attack and enter the city.
Now that the truth has come out, he is shifting all the blame onto his deputy.
The lieutenant was not only unaware of the situation, but also wouldn't expose him, so all the blame wouldn't fall on him.
When Lu Qiqi thought of Lu Xiangxiang being in danger, she thought, "Can we quickly prove General Wu's crimes so that my aunt can get out of trouble and live a peaceful life?"
Judging from Lu Xiangxiang's reaction, she had no idea of the noble person's existence before. If Aunt Cen hadn't died in childbirth, those people probably wouldn't have used her.
Song Yanqing said, "There is not enough evidence at the moment, so we cannot arrest him without removing his armor."
Although he was the heir apparent, the emperor did not grant him the position of a Grand General when he was sent to the battlefield.
In the border town, the highest-ranking general is Wu Guangping, even Qin Shiyu is ranked behind him.
Moreover, it is simply impossible to detain a general for trial based solely on suspicion.
Even emperors had to find a pretext to seize power from their vassal states; how much more so for them?
However, all the Tatars who infiltrated the Labor Service Bureau were arrested.
Then it won't be long before General Wu reveals his true colors!
