Chapter 317 General Chu praised me
[My cousin-in-law is so capable. He has gained the trust of General Chu. In the future, will we also be able to rise to prominence with him?
General Chu treated my cousin's husband very well. To clear his name, he summoned all of us to the Beijing camp.
Listening to this man's inner voice, Shen Zhao instantly understood that Lieutenant General Liao had asked these people to guard the relatives of those soldiers and generals without telling them the reason.
This makes it easier.
Lieutenant General Liao's face looked extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a fly.
I pray in my heart that these idiots don’t talk nonsense!
If he had known this would happen, he would have told these idiots his position in advance.
I just hope these idiots don’t think he belongs to Chu Mu.
Chen Zhao looked at Lieutenant General Liao's cousin, "The person on the far right in the last row, come forward."
The person named by Shen Zhao showed a hint of surprise on his face.
[Does my cousin-in-law often mention me in front of the general? Although there are so many people, the first person General Chu wants to summon is me.
If I can gain the appreciation of General Chu, can I also become a deputy general from a son-in-law like my cousin's husband?
When my cousin was looking for a husband, no man in the surrounding villages dared to come to her house. After all, my cousin was a notorious shrew.
He is lazy and slacking, but he is also very competitive and has no rivals in scolding the whole village.
That winter, my cousin found her husband, who was covered in wounds, on the edge of the city.
When my cousin's husband woke up, he had lost his memory. My cousin told him that he was her husband, and in this way, my cousin's husband became a son-in-law.
Later, my cousin's husband joined the army and within ten years he became the deputy commander of the Beijing Camp. My cousin's family also rose to prominence and became officials.
Chen Zhao listened to the man's voice thoughtfully, and whispered to Xie Yuheng who was standing nearby, "Go and invite Lieutenant General Liao's wife here, quickly."
"If she asks why you invited her, just tell her that Lieutenant General Liao's powerful family is here."
Although Xie Yuheng didn't understand why Brother Chu asked him to invite Lieutenant General Liao's wife.
And you still have to say this.
But Brother Chu must have his reasons for giving such an order, so he just went ahead.
He immediately winked at Pei Xiaosi, and the two of them quietly left the tent.
The Ninth Prince simply ignored this scene.
Shen Zhao was looking at Lieutenant General Liao thoughtfully.
She didn't think that Lieutenant General Liao had lost his memory, but that he had taken advantage of the situation and had a new identity.
She was very curious about why the Ninth Prince faked his death. Perhaps she could find out something from Lieutenant General Liao today.
Mrs. Liao, the one who picked up the person, is the key. She is the only one who knows that Lieutenant General Liao was picked up at the place where he came to the door, and how seriously injured Lieutenant General Liao was at that time. These are all the key.
Chen Zhao stared carefully at Lieutenant General Liao's face.
There was no sign that Lieutenant General Liao was wearing a human skin mask at this time.
She really wanted to know who made the human skin mask that could be worn for more than twenty years.
More than twenty years!
It is impossible for a person's appearance to not change over twenty years.
That is to say, Lieutenant General Liao, who always wears a human skin mask, is an expert in making human skin masks.
Shen Zhao shifted his gaze to the Ninth Prince again.
When he entered the palace to rescue the emperor that day, the Ninth Prince also wore a human skin mask.
"I'm here to greet you, General." The voice of Lieutenant General Liao's cousin brought Shen Zhao back to reality.
"Get up, what's your name?" Shen Zhao looked at the man gently.
This made the man feel even more that General Chu valued him.
Otherwise, why would General Chu look at him so kindly and ask his name? It seems that he wants to use him in an important position.
"My name is Jiang Yong." Jiang Yong excitedly gave his name.
He thought he was no worse than his cousin's husband. If his cousin's husband could be a deputy general, why couldn't he be one too?
Maybe he can even become General Chu's confidant.
By then, it will not be him who relies on his cousin-in-law, but his cousin-in-law who will rely on him.
Shen Zhao listened to Jiang Yong's thoughts. The more ambitious he was, the easier it would be to use him, especially since he was so confident.
"Jiang Yong, that's a good name."
When Shen Zhao said this, her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Yong.
"I thank the General for his praise. It is my honor to have my name heard by the General."
Jiang Yong was so excited that even his words trembled.
"I see that you are a man of extraordinary bravery. If you join the army, you will have a bright future."
A gleam of light appeared in Jiang Yong's eyes.
General Chu said this, perhaps he intended to recruit him into his army.
If this is true, his starting point is much higher than that of my cousin's husband.
"I have summoned you today to ask you a few questions. I know you are honest and loyal, and you will definitely not lie to me."
Jiang Yong immediately replied, "General, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know and will never lie to you."
Jiang Yong is also a piece of shining gold.
General Chu really had a good eye for talent. He saw his many strengths, praised him for his bravery, said he was loyal and honest, and said his name was a good name.
All of this shows that General Chu appreciates him.
Besides, my cousin's husband's people had told them before they came that they should answer whatever they were asked and tell the truth.
"Then I will ask you if you recognize these five people."
Shen Zhao pointed at the five assassins that Lieutenant General Liao had placed under Lu Xing.
Jiang Yong answered without hesitation: "Yes, they are my cousin's husband's people."
"Is your cousin's husband Lieutenant General Liao?" Shen Zhao looked at Lieutenant General Liao, whose face was ashen. It was hard to imagine how a man who had been hiding for more than twenty years could be so stupid as to use someone like Jiang Yong to guard these people.
Jiang Yong quickly replied, "General, Lieutenant General Liao is my cousin's husband!"
The other deputy generals all looked at Deputy General Liao.
Could it be that this guy named Jiang Yong is really Lieutenant General Liao’s cousin?
Lieutenant General Liao was smart all his life but confused for a moment.
Employing such an idiot to do such an important thing.
"Jiang Yong, who are those families that came with you?"
Lieutenant General Liao desperately winked at Jiang Yong, hoping that this idiot could see the current situation clearly.
But Jiang Yong was completely absorbed in the idea of his upcoming success.
Besides, he was facing Lieutenant General Liao at an angle and couldn't see Lieutenant General Liao's eyes that were about to cramp.
"General, those people are the family members of these five people. They have been imprisoned in the manor of Qingshui Bay in Wujia Village. I have the audacity to ask you, General, what serious crime did these five people commit by betraying my cousin's husband?"
Jiang Yong not only spoke out everything he knew, but also learned to answer questions quickly, even saying things that Shen Zhao had not asked.
Lieutenant General Liao almost died from his loss of breath.
This idiot, does he know what he is talking about!
Didn’t Jiang Yong see that he was also kneeling on the ground like those five people!
It was good that the general could not see the situation clearly. After all, except for Lieutenant General Liao, the other lieutenants were also kneeling on the ground.
Moreover, Shen Zhao had said something in advance that would cause Jiang Yong to have a misunderstanding.
Let Jiang Yong mistakenly believe that Lieutenant General Liao is now General Chu's man.
Coupled with Shen Zhao's praise of him, he was confused for a moment.
Shen Zhao smiled and said to Jiang Yong:
"You are very smart and astute. These five people did betray Lieutenant General Liao and did commit a serious mistake. They assassinated the son of the Marquis of Loyalty."
