Ten days later…
On the ancient path, Ye Qiu and Shangguan Wan 'er rode side by side, rapidly heading toward the border of the Great Wall.
Not long ago, Ye Qiu had released Cheng. After asking him everything, he had Cheng and Pei Qinhu head to the Cloud Desert to search for the missing Su Lie.
As for himself, he had other things to do, so he had only set off two days ago.
Before they set off, Wu Zetian even sent Shangguan Wan 'er to him to assist Ye Qiu in handling Su Lie's case.
When it was almost noon, the two of them found a shady place to stop.
He wasn't tired, but he had to let the horse rest.
Shangguan Wan 'er sat on a rock, feeling a little depressed.
She was doing well as a female official in the palace. Why did the Emperor insist on her assisting Ye Qiu in investigating the case?
And he had to listen to this bastard's orders?
"Wan 'er, you've read the case file. What do you think?”
Shangguan Wan 'er pondered for a moment and then said,"This case is not difficult."
"According to the report from the Bureau of Military Personnel, it was Su Lie who opened up the pass market. While the Hu outside the pass and the people of the Great Tang inside the pass traded with each other, the Hu and the demons invaded the Great Wall and slaughtered the people of the Great Tang.”
"But according to Pei Qinhu's confession, after the Hu and the Demon Seeds attacked, Su Lie led the Great Wall Guards to resist for ten days and ten nights.”
"And during this period of time, none of the 12 guard posts in the 3rd Corps sent reinforcements?”
"This doesn't make sense. As long as we can prove this, we can find the real culprit behind this.”
The Great Wall Guard was actually the third army of the Great Tang.
The 3rd Corps had a total of 13 guardhouses, and these 13 guardhouses took turns to guard the Great Wall.
Su Lie was only a general of the Seventh Guard.
When the Hu invaded, the Seventh Guard was guarding the Great Wall.
But according to the laws of the Great Tang, if anything happened to the Great Wall, the other guards had to immediately rush to the rescue!
The report from the Bureau of Military Personnel said that on the day the Hu invaded, the other guards had rushed over to provide support. When they arrived, they found that all the soldiers of the Seventh Guard had died in battle. Su Lie and the Hu were massacring the people of the Great Tang.
The other guards of the 3rd Corps fought hard for half a month and finally chased the enemy out of the Great Wall.
The two statements were completely contradictory. Just as Shangguan Wan 'er had said, as long as Ye Qiu could prove that Su Lie had resisted for ten days and ten nights, he could overturn the report of the Ministry of War and wash away Su Lie's injustice.
But…
"How can things be that easy?" Ye Qiu chuckled.”
"As you said, this case is not difficult at all.”
"The difficult part is…the Third Corps!"
"You're saying that we'll encounter resistance from the Third Corps when we go to the Great Wall?" Shangguan Wan 'er's expression changed.”
"It's more than resistance?"
"If the report from the Bureau of Military Personnel is false, it means that the entire Third Corps is lying!”
"Think about it. If we really find out everything, will the Third Corps let us go?”
"Our enemies this time are most likely all the soldiers of the Third Corps!”
"There are even…the Hu outside the pass!”
Hearing this, Shangguan Wan 'er was shocked.""Wouldn't that put us in great danger?”
"How can the two of us fight against the entire Third Corps?”
"Why don't we report to Her Majesty and ask her to send an army to travel with us?”
Ye Qiu shook his head." The Tang army has its own duties. The only one that is idle is An Lushan's Fan Yang Army.”
"To be honest, I don't trust An Lushan. I feel that he has something to do with the Great Wall.”
Ye Qiu knew that An Lushan was not a good person, and he also knew that Su Lie was wronged.
However, he was not too sure about the truth.
Firstly, when they were on Earth, the officials did not explain the truth about Su Lie clearly.
Secondly, the background of this world and Mobile Legends were more or less different.
For example, there were many Hu countries that weren't in the background information of Mobile Legends.
…………………………..
East of the Great Wall, in a prison in one of the encampments of the Third Corps.
More than ten men were hung on the wooden racks. Their skin was already torn and their flesh was a mess.
A burly man waved the long whip in his hand and whipped a man fiercely.
Every whip would leave a trail of blood.
"Speak! Su Lie is a traitor to the Great Tang. You saw it with your own eyes!”The burly man roared.
The man who was beaten up was called Zhao Xiaohu. He was also a member of the Seventh Guard. His face was resolute as he snorted coldly."General Su Lie is the hero of the Great Tang. You are the ones who betrayed the Great Tang!”
"Motherf * cker!"
The burly man wanted to raise the whip in his hand again, but he was stopped by another person.
"Forget it, since these guys are stubborn, let them be.”
"Anyway, Su Lie's crime has been confirmed. We don't need these few witnesses.”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaohu's expression changed.""W-what did you say?"
"Hmph, Su Lie's crime has been determined. He colluded with Cheng of Jade City to open the pass and let the Hu and the demon seeds into the Great Wall, causing 300,000 civilians to die in the hands of the Hu.”
"No!"
"Nonsense!"
"General Su Lie did not betray the Great Tang. Besides, less than three hundred thousand people died that day!”
The man sneered." Hehehe, you're right. Su Lie did not betray the Tang Empire. The number of civilians killed by the Hu and the demon seeds did not reach 300,000. There were only a few thousand.”
Zhao Xiaohu immediately understood and roared angrily,"It's you, it's you who slaughtered the people!”
"That's right!"
"But so what?"
"We framed Su Lie and killed the people, but so what?”
"What can you do? You can't do anything!"
Zhao Xiaohu was filled with grief and indignation as he roared,"You bunch of beasts will definitely suffer retribution. His Majesty will not forgive you!”
"Your Majesty?"
"Hahahahaha, Su Lie's crime was personally decided by His Majesty.”
"As for you, you were all heroes who protected the Great Wall and sacrificed yourselves in the battle against the Hu.”
"In a few days, I will build a luxurious tomb for each of you.”
"Oh right, I still have to erect a hero monument for you guys.”
With that, the man laughed and left.
"Heavens, is there any justice in this world?”Zhao Xiaohu roared towards the sky…
