Deng Yi has run away, and the Deng mansion is empty. It's very easy to get this thing back.
It was a small white bundle.
Open the first page of the bundle, and there's just a piece of paper.
Su Ruojin was somewhat surprised when she opened it; she hadn't expected to find the defense map of the Great Chu here.
What's going on?
Below is an account book recording Wei Xuelin and Deng Yi's acquisition of sulfur.
Why did Deng Yi and Wei Xuelin buy so much sulfur?
The remaining letters were three letters. After opening them, Su Ruojin found that they were letters from her father and third brother to General Bei Li, which described in detail the defenses of the Great Chu border and where the weak points were.
Another letter was written by Fifth Brother to the general of the Northern Li border army, agreeing on when to send military rations to Northern Li.
Each of these items, if taken out, constitutes the crime of treason and collusion with the enemy.
Su Ruojin naturally did not believe that her father and brothers would do such a thing; it was obviously someone imitating it.
But Magistrate Huang is already dead, so who wrote these letters?
Could it have been left behind before?
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
The sound of servants bowing to Xiao Yanchu could be heard from outside.
Xiao Yanchu returned from court.
"Ah Jin, how is Mu Yao?" Xiao Yanchu asked as he entered the room.
"She's awake and recovering quite well. These are the things Mu Yao risked her life to protect." Su Ruojin handed the things Hu Qing had found back to Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu took it and looked at it one by one. "This defense map is fake. I had it replaced."
It turns out that the defense map that Lin Zhengshan stole was handed over to Deng Yi.
“What are they buying so much sulfur for? Ah Jin, look at the date on this letter again.” Xiao Yanchu pointed to the end of the letter.
Su Ruojin hadn't noticed this before, but after Xiao Yanchu reminded her, she shifted her gaze to the date at the end and narrowed her eyes.
The letter was dated next month.
The letter was already written before the appointed time.
Suddenly remembering something, Su Ruojin quickly walked to the table, opened the three letters, and then opened the defense map.
"Yanchu, look."
Following Su Ruojin's pointing finger, Xiao Yanchu also noticed the problem.
The key points mentioned in the letter correspond one by one with the defense map of the Great Chu.
If this defense map is real, and this letter is leaked, the Su family will once again be accused of treason and collusion with the enemy.
As the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger," and if something happens repeatedly, even if the Su family is innocent, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Those in positions of power are inherently suspicious.
Xiao Chenyi was already wary of the Su family, and with these incidents, he would only become more and more suspicious of them.
This will be a ticking time bomb for the Su family, who don't know when it will explode, and it could lead to the destruction of the family and the loss of their lives.
Although Su Ruojin didn't know how the other party intended to use these things, she could smell the scent of a conspiracy.
"Huang Tongpan is dead, so who wrote this letter?"
What will happen next month?
And this sulfur...
Su Ruojin felt uneasy.
