Huo Shaoting hugged for a while, and his expression returned to seriousness. www.biquge.info He gently placed Su Tong on the wooden chair, supported the armrests with both hands, and looked at her with a look of wanting to speak.

Su Tong knew that Huo Shaoting had something to say. But he didn't say, she didn't ask. She felt familiar with him in her heart, but in fact they had only known each other for a few days, and they had only seen each other for a few days.

After staring for a moment, Huo Shaoting finally made up his mind and asked, "Do you know the cause of your father's death?" ”

Dad's death, up and down the Great Zhou, but everyone who pays attention to the affairs of the court knows about it, let alone the deputy general of the Sixth Army. What does it mean to knowingly ask? Su Tong suppressed the doubts in her heart and told everything she knew, "The news that came to the Su family back then was that my father participated in the battle between the princes and took refuge in the three princes, and angered the emperor and was convicted. ”

"You believe it?" Huo Shaoting continued to ask.

Su Tong shook his head, "I don't believe it." My father would never have been involved in the battle for the prince. My father said that this world is the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the world of the Ji family, and as a courtier, it is this surname that should be loyal, not a certain person. She didn't understand much back then, but now that she thinks about it, what her father thinks in his heart, but she does her best to do things for the court and the people of the world, instead of taking refuge in someone or a certain force. How could such a person participate in the battle of the prince. As Yao Ji analyzed, the emperor is in his prime, the dragon chair is sitting firmly, and it is impossible for my father to take refuge in a certain prince when the situation is unknown.

"It's like Su Shangshu's style." Huo Shaoting fought with General Nangong all the year round and had little personal friendship with officials in the DPRK and China, but he had heard of Su Yuchang's reputation and diligent and honest style. When something like that happened back then, the court was stunned. Even General Nangong was a little unconvinced, and only after many investigations did he find the real reason.

"However, if you believe and I believe, it does not mean that the world believes." Huo Shaoting put his hands on Su Tong's shoulders with a solemn expression, "Girl, I know you have had a hard time these years, but the days to come will be even more difficult, can you be ready?" ”

Su Tong didn't understand the meaning of his words, "Vice General Huo might as well say it directly." ”

Huo Shaoting paused and said, "Your father and General Nangong have a very personal relationship, and after your father was convicted, General Nangong was quite puzzled and ordered me to investigate." I found out that your father did not rely on any prince back then, but he relied on the Marquis of Zhenbei, and exchanged many letters with the Marquis of Zhenbei, and it was those letters that confirmed his crimes. At that time, there were riots in the north, and the small countries that had been destroyed before jumped out one after another to restore the country, those people were extremely familiar with the terrain of the north, and the manpower sent by the imperial court could not compete with them at all, and the only thing that could suppress those people was cruelty, and they were familiar with the local Zhenbei Hou. The emperor was jealous of the power of the Marquis of Zhenbei, suppressed your father's case, and announced to the public that he was involved in the battle of the prince. ”

"It's really funny, colluding with the prince for a while, and colluding with the Marquis of Zhenbei for a while. If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. Su Tong couldn't accept this fact at all, "Vice General Huo, are you sure that the situation you found is true?" ”

Huo Shaoting nodded, "I've seen those letters with my own eyes. Your father conspired with the Marquis of Zhenbei, and your father secretly bribed the courtiers in the court to support the Marquis of Zhenbei. The Marquis of Zhenbei instigated the small country to come out and make trouble and divert the emperor's attention, but in fact he secretly cultivated power. ”

"Those letters have been carefully verified by Dali Temple, and they are exactly the same as your father's handwriting, and they are confirmed to be from your father's hand."

"Impossible." Su Tong frowned, "If that's the case, what my father committed was a great crime of rebellion, and the emperor would easily let him go?" Easily let go of the Su family? ”

"Plotting rebellion, the crime should be punished by the nine clans. But what would happen if someone took enough weight to trade with the emperor? Huo Shaoting reminded.

"Deal? It's really overestimating our Su family. "The Su family is considered a big family in Anyang, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, but it is a small household in the countryside, and what can enter the eyes of the emperor.

It seems that Su Yuchang and Sun Yuqing have protected this daughter very well. But there are some things she has to face. Huo Shaoting said, "The Su family doesn't have it, but the Sun family does." When the emperor learned that your father was colluding with the Marquis of Zhenbei, he was furious and ordered to kill the Su family, leaving no one behind. Your mother hurried to the emperor and had a secret conversation with the emperor in the imperial study for two hours. ”

"When your mother stepped out of the imperial study, she held the holy decree of pardoning the rest of the Su family. Except for the emperor, your mother, and General Nangong, no fourth person knows about this matter. But now it seems that someone may have gotten the news and is ready to go after you. ”

"Attack me?" Su Tong was puzzled. But I vaguely feel that it may be related to the transaction between my mother and the emperor.

"I'm not sure, but the Hou Cheng family of Annan suddenly took out a letter of appointment to ask for marriage, which has to make people suspicious." Huo Shaoting analyzed, "If your father really made a marriage contract with the Cheng family back then, the Cheng family shouldn't have ignored you all these years, but asked to marry at this time." You also said that the letter of appointment is full of loopholes, your father is a champion of civil and military affairs, and he will make such a low-end mistake? ”

"Besides, Cheng Jialuo arrived in Anyang a month ago, if he really came to marry a wife, he shouldn't have stayed in the city for so long, and there was no movement for a long time."

A month ago? In this way, the person who kidnapped her to the grove that night was Cheng Jialuo, and the person who assassinated Su Mo was also Cheng Jialuo? What did he have with Su Mo?

"The Cheng family asked to marry, the prince Ji Qianchen came out to stir up the situation, and then the Qi Wangfu was assassinated, and Ji Qianchen had to rush back to the capital, don't you think all this is too coincidental? The Cheng family's move is clearly a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, as soon as Ji Qianchen leaves, they want to take you away, it's as easy as a snap. ”

"What does the Cheng family want from me?" She wouldn't think that the Cheng family married her just because of the letter of appointment.

"The other half of the book of war." Huo Shaoting got up and pressed down in his voice, "Back then, your mother exchanged half of the military book for the Su family's life, and the emperor personally promised that she would not ask about the whereabouts of the other half of the military book. ”

"Book of War?" Su Tong had never heard of her mother.

"That's right, the ancestor of the Sun family once wrote a strange book, called "The Art of War", which specializes in the art of arranging troops, which is extremely exquisite. The Sun family knew that once this book was published, it would inevitably cause competition from all sides and bring endless disasters to the Sun family, so they had to choose to keep it secret, select capable people among the younger generations, and pass it on from generation to generation. ”

"This matter is extremely secret, but not long ago, Annanhou suddenly attacked the Sun family and killed all the men on the spot, leaving no one behind, presumably to inquire about the whereabouts of the soldier's book."

Maternal grandfather's house? In Su Tong's memory, there was hardly any information about them. But when he heard such a tragic incident, he was still saddened, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't say that I don't know the whereabouts of the other half of the military book, even if I do, I will never hand over the military book." ”
