After Jiang Yunsheng received the little ledger, he opened it and began reading.
"The first traitor: County Deputy Nie Wenshan."
He read out the first name.
[My heavens, this Zhong Feiwen is far too unlucky. He's practically the God of Misfortune's own son.]
The moment that name came out, Guagua's voice rang in Jiang Nuan's ears.
[Huh? Guagua, what do you mean?]
Jiang Nuan asked in confusion.
[I just checked. Zhong Feiwen's list of traitors is ninety-nine percent accurate, and unfortunately, that remaining one percent is this Nie Wenshan.]
His family has served in the military for generations. His father, uncles, and older brothers all died at the hands of Jing Kingdom people. Of everyone in Ran County, he is the absolute last person who would defect to the Jing Kingdom.
But by a terrible stroke of bad luck, Zhong Feiwen saw him pretending to cooperate with the Jing Kingdom people and immediately lumped him in with the enemy.
If your imperial father investigates according to this ledger, the very first person will turn out to be innocent. He might think Zhong Feiwen did it on purpose and have his head chopped off in a fit of anger.
Seriously, out of more than a hundred people, there's only one innocent man, and he put him first! Anywhere in the middle or at the end would have been better!]*
Guagua was thoroughly impressed by Zhong Feiwen's rotten luck.
[Ah... well...]
Jiang Nuan fell silent too.
She was not the only one who fell silent. Jiang Yunsheng did as well.
How did someone manage to be this unlucky?
After hearing Guagua's words, Zhong Feiwen was already curling his toes hard enough to dig into the ground.
Heavens, I'm never calling you Grandfather again, because you clearly never treated me as your grandson.
