Yu Ji called Yang Shiru Brother Yang, and Xu Pan was not formal, so he called his word and called him Brother Zhengyou.

"I look at Brother Zhengyou, as if he has something on his mind, isn't there any difficulty encountered? Xu Pan chatted with Yang Shiru and Yu Ji for a few words, and saw that Yang Shiru was a little absent-minded, so he couldn't help but ask him.

Yang Shiru sighed when he heard this.

Xu Pan wondered if he would ask too recklessly, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Although Yang Shiru and the three girls of the Yu family have not yet married, in terms of name, they are already brothers-in-law with Xu Pan. Regarding matters related to the Yu family, Xu Pan will not sit idly by. But now that he saw Yang Shiru sighing, he didn't say anything, Xu Pan couldn't help but hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient, it's okay." ”

After Xu Pan finished saying this, he just wanted to turn his head and start the conversation with Yu Ji, but Yang Shiru slowly shook his head and said, "There's nothing that can't be said, but this matter is quite complicated." ”

It turned out that the Yang family and the Yu family received a letter from the Fei family, saying that the old lady of the Fei family was seriously ill and was about to die, and asked to see his two families.

Originally, Yu Qingsong's descendant Yu Lin should have gone to the family, but Yu Lin has been in poor health recently, so it is really difficult for him to go out in such a hurry. Yu Lin also knew how his health was, so he found Yu Qingyang and entrusted Yu Ji to go for him.

Before she died, Mrs. Fei suddenly asked to see the people of the Yang family, which is really hard to guess.

Yang Shi met like Yu Ji, and went straight to Baoding. The old house of the Fei family is in Wen'an County, which is under the jurisdiction of Baoding.

When the two of them galloped to Fei's house, Old Lady Fei was already less in and more out.

Mrs. Fei was so old that she couldn't even say a whole sentence, she just pointed to a dilapidated wooden box, and took out a rusty key out of nowhere for someone to open. The box was opened, and inside was an old letter on paper.

The old lady couldn't say anything clearly, but pointed to Yang Shiru to get the letter.

At that time, Yang Shiru didn't think it was too much.

Before he came, Yang Ge Lao also told him that the Fei family had a life-saving kindness with his family, and no matter what the Fei family requested, he would try his best to agree, and even if he couldn't do it, he would try his best to help.

So when Yang Shiru saw this letter at this time, he thought that some old matter had been entrusted to him.

He stretched out his hand and picked up the letter, but saw the old lady squeak, as if he had opened it immediately.

He looked around left and right, but saw the descendants of the Fei family, and they didn't know much about this matter.

But since Old Lady Fei insisted on requesting, Yang Shiru naturally would not go against his wishes.

There was nothing written on the envelope of this letter, and the letter had already been opened, Yang Shiru reached out to pinch the letter paper in the envelope, and saw that the paper was even more worn, as if it had been read many times.

He was puzzled, opened the letter, and looked.

But this look is incredible, the letter is less than a page, but after Yang Shiru finished reading it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Their family was framed back then, and it was Yu Qingsong, the uncle of the Yu family, who found Mrs. Fei to understand the reason for the incident.

At that time, it was a bandit den near Baoding, which was suppressed by the guard, and the people of the guard found a letter from the seized items. This letter was a letter for help sent to Beijing by a person who was investigating a corrupt criminal, and the person who asked for help in the letter was Yang Xuan, the secretary of the household department at that time, that is, Yang Ge Lao today.

At that time, Yang Xuanzheng was just promoted to the position of the head of the household by the emperor, and when such a thing happened, the emperor's face was gloomy, so he naturally couldn't get off the stage, so he was angry and sent the Yang family to prison to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Normally, how many of those who were imprisoned came back? Just because the Yu family was also implicated at that time, and they trusted the old man of Yang Ge, they let Yu Qingyang go to the Fei family. It was this trip that made this matter turn around.

At that time, Mrs. Fei really knew a little about this matter. He reminded Yu Qingsong that nine times out of ten, this letter is false, and since it is false, it is impossible that there are no flaws.

Then, starting from the texture of the paper, the ink used in the letters, and other subtleties, he said several things that were very original. Yu Qingsong got these singularities, and after returning to Beijing, he told the protégé of the Yang family a few suspicious points provided by Mrs. Fei, and only then did he find out that the paper and ink used in this suppressed letter were completely inconsistent with the situation of the embezzler alone, and it was obviously forged by someone according to the person's handwriting, but the details were not properly handled.

Since the letter is false, then Yang Xuan's suspicion of corruption is not established, the emperor is happy, there are steps here, and Yang Xuan is immediately released there.

After that, Yang Xuan went from the head of the household department to the cabinet assistant, and naturally he couldn't forget the kindness of the old lady Fei who woke up the person in his dream.

For so many years, Yang Ge Lao mentioned this old story to his grandchildren, and most of them taught them that life should withstand ups and downs, but now Yang Shiru opened this yellowed and soft old letter paper, but his hands couldn't stand a little trembling.

On the bed, Mrs. Fei saw that Yang Shiru had finished reading the letter, as if he had seen a big stone that had been pressing on his heart for many years being removed, and a quiet and serene smile gradually appeared on his face, and then he closed his eyes heavily, and no longer breathed.

Mrs. Fei didn't even leave a last word, handed over the letter to Yang Shiru, and went directly to the west.

The Fei family naturally wondered what was written in the letter, but Yang Shiru did the same thing as the old lady, only put the letter away steadily, and did not reveal half a point.

So much so that even Yu Ji, who was called over now, only seemed to have made a witness, witnessing that this letter had reached Yang Shiru's hands, but he didn't know the content at all.

"Uncle is kind to me, but if I don't tell you the truth, this matter is very involved, and I don't dare to make a decision, I still need to go home and discuss with my grandfather. ”

Before and after Xu Pan listened, he also knew that this matter was probably not trivial, he nodded and didn't ask any more, but Yang Shiru raised his head and said to him: "Although I can't tell my uncle, there is something that needs to be troubled by my uncle." When my grandfather was caught in a corruption case, it was precisely because the Baoding guard suppressed a group of mountain bandits, can my uncle help me find out the specific situation of the extermination of this mountain bandits. Or back then, there were still bandits alive, and it would be great if they could be found. ”

Xu Pan listened, paused, and asked him, "Brother Zhengyou, do you remember what year it was?"

"Twenty-two years of Chenghua. ”

Xu Pan listened, but was unexpectedly stunned, and suddenly got up and said to Yang Shiru: "Brother Yang, wait a minute." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he walked out of the room quickly.
