Chapter 688 Shen Yuan is fake

The Ye family moved the graves last time, so why didn’t they think of moving their eldest daughter’s grave back as well?

Could it be that Shen Yuan didn't allow it? After all, when Ye Nishang got married, even if her grave was moved, it would have to be moved to the ancestral tomb of the old Shen family.

He always felt that there was something fishy going on.

His intuition told him that if he wanted to find evidence against Shen Yuan, he would have to go to the northwest.

Shen Yuan was a small farmer, but he made great contributions on the battlefield. Even General Wang wanted to keep him and appointed him as a young general.

Why did he insist on returning home?

Judging from Shen Yuan's current behavior, he doesn't seem to be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune.

It stands to reason that for a farmer to become a general would be a matter of honor for his family.

However, he gave up the opportunity for promotion and returned home directly.

This doesn't seem to make sense either morally or logically.

I didn't expect that he actually found it.

There were actually two bodies in Ye Nishang's grave, but there was only Ye Nishang's name on the tombstone.

"Are there really two bodies? One male and one female?"

Pang Qingping was very surprised and stood up from the stool directly, with the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was a little surprised.

"It's true. After confirmation, the man in the coffin should be the real Shen Yuan."

the man replied.

After all, it has only been a few years, the body has not yet completely decayed, and you can still see the clothes and the special marks on the bones.

"We interviewed some soldiers who knew Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan's left hand was injured and the bones of his little finger were dislocated, so he couldn't use it. The little finger of the left hand of the corpse was the same as described."

The man continued, they were completely sure that the person in the coffin was the real Shen Yuan.

"That is to say, the current Shen Yuan from Daliushu Village is an imposter, and I haven't heard that his left little finger is useless."

Pang Qingping curled his lips and his eyes gleamed.

But then I became suspicious:

"If the current Shen Yuan is not the real Shen Yuan, then who is he?"

Who would pretend to be someone else for no reason?

The men under him also shook their heads:

"I don't know. Too many people died in that war. It's possible that a soldier was an orphan without a home and pretended to be him. The real Shen Yuan was dull and taciturn. He had few good friends in the barracks. He was definitely not the current Shen Yuan. As for who he was, it's too difficult to find out."

The subordinates also looked embarrassed; they had already tried their best.

Pang Qingping sat back down, still smiling in a sinister way. He glanced at his subordinates and smiled even more:

"You have done very well. It doesn't matter. As long as he is not the real Shen Yuan and not Ye Nishang's husband, the Ye family will definitely investigate. He deceived the Ye family and also deceived Your Majesty. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. The relationship between them will definitely no longer be the same as before. We have just pulled out this tooth."

Pang Qingping seemed to be thinking about something.

What my subordinates said is correct. It is too difficult to check and it is a waste of time and energy.

The most important thing is that there is not enough time. There is only one month left before returning to Beijing, and he has too many things to do.

I can only use this incident to alienate them.

"Master is right, he is not Shen Yuan, this is the crime of deceiving the king!"

Pang Qingping nodded and immediately ordered:

"I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure to spread the news to the capital. No, spread it to Daliushu Village as well. It would be best if everyone knows about it."

"Yes!"

The subordinate received the order and went down immediately.

A counselor beside Pang Qingping came forward and gave him a bowl of water:

"Master is wise. This way, they will take the initiative to check the identity of the fake Shen Yuan and attract their attention. Once the fake Shen Yuan is exposed, he will definitely be too busy to take care of himself and will not pay attention to our movements."

Pang Qingping took a sip of water and couldn't stop smiling. It was truly a godsend.

"Oh, Master, time is running out. The people of Qinghe Town are unable to return home and are complaining. It's time for the troops there to set off."

The counselor gave a reminder.

It would be bad if those people continued to cause trouble and brought the matter to the attention of the Marquis.

"Where is the grain that was transported from Tongxu County? Why not let it stop halfway and wait for our people to take it over directly?"

Pang Qingping had an idea.

He originally wanted to wait until the food was delivered before letting the troops from Qinghe Town set off.

But if you calculate the time, it’s really too late.

"We have only traveled half of the way. If we want to reach here, it will take more than ten days. If we set off again in ten days, those soldiers who have to cross mountains and rivers to reach the capital will not be able to make it to the New Year."

The strategist waved the fan in his hand and looked at the map on the table.

"Master is right. We can leave the food in the mountains here and wait for the army to arrive."

He pointed to a place that was a must-go place to Pingnan County. It would be great if both sides could walk towards each other, saving time and energy.

"Okay, let's do this? Immediately notify the caravan to rest here when they arrive. At the same time, Mr. Yuan will prepare to go to Qinghe Town to arrange the troops. Be careful along the way."

Pang Qingping gave the order and felt sure of victory.

The gentleman was about to leave when suddenly a servant came running from the door and knelt down in panic.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

As soon as the boy opened his mouth, he was already sweating profusely.

Pang Qingping was startled and stood up from the stool. Mr. Yuan also stopped and looked over.

"Why are you so anxious?"

Pang Qingping scolded.

The young man said tremblingly:

"The news from the north is that the caravan encountered a fire in Shanyang County. Everything was burned. It burned for a day and a night. All our people and food were burned..."

"what!"

Pang Qingping was shocked, and even the strategist Mr. Yuan came back and glared at the boy.

The servant trembled with fear and continued:

"They were resting in a dilapidated temple. In the middle of the night, a candle fell out. The temple was made of straw and wood, so it would catch fire if it encountered fire. The place was remote and it was late at night. No one noticed, and then... everything was gone..."

Pang Qingping couldn't believe it, how could such a coincidence happen!

"Are you sure it's our caravan? Could it be that they were framed?"

The boy took out a burnt token from his pocket:

"It is confirmed that it is our caravan. This is the token. There are also some swords at the scene. They are all our swords. The local county magistrate and our people went to investigate. It was indeed caused by the falling candlelight. There is no other abnormality."

After hearing this answer, Pang Qingping almost vomited blood.

After all the calculations, I never expected this to happen.

Now he had no time to investigate the matter anymore. The most important thing was to prepare food as soon as possible.

"Mr. Yuan, hurry up. I need to meet with major grain merchants in Pingnan County. We don't have time. We must hurry and get the grain and grass in the camp first. The troops in Qinghe Town must set out first."

Pang Qingping had no choice but to raise food from local wealthy families.

This New Year is the best opportunity for him to start a rebellion, and he cannot miss it.
