Chapter 123: The Letter Says
Maybe it's because of the fact that I live alone, but the layout inside the room is simple.
It's a wooden bed, a wooden table, a few chairs, and a cupboard. It can be seen that Tan Qiu should have done it himself.
Tan Qiu walked directly to the wooden bed, lifted the cover on it, revealing the bed board, he groped on it for a while, and then pressed it in one place, and a piece suddenly popped out on the originally perfect and seamless bed board.
A wooden box was placed inside.
Mo Ziting and the others just stood quietly in the back and watched Tan Qiu go about his work alone.
Tan Qiu took out the wooden box.
turned around and handed it to Mo Ziting.
"This is what you want, the son."
Mo Ziting hadn't picked it up yet, but Chen Wei hurriedly took over the things.
It's not that he wants to rush to do anything, but he is afraid that if there is something bad in this box, it will not hurt his master.
"Open the box." Mo Ziting said.
Chen Wei stepped aside, a little away from his master and Shen Zhang.
Then he opened the box at once, revealing the contents of it.
It was a stack of yellowed paper with a letter pressed on it.
Chen Wei checked it a little, and there were no organs and poisons, so he handed the box to his master.
He really can't be cautious, last time it was because of the negligence of the secret guard that Yang Wanshan and his son were blackened, if someone wants to be unfavorable to the master this time, it is also possible to put some poison in this box.
Mo Ziting took the box and picked up the letter pressed on it first.
Open the envelope and take out the letter inside.
Judging by the handwriting, it was written a long time ago. Shen Zhang also leaned his head over.
"I am Yang Wanshan, the county commander of Wen County. If this letter had been rediscovered, I would have passed away. What I am going to say next is very important, and I hope that those who see the faith will take it seriously.
I am from Fangzhou. As a poor student, he has set up a grand wish to be an official and benefit the people since he was studying.
After many years of hard study, he finally entered the imperial examination at the age of forty.
While waiting for the appointment of the imperial court in the capital, I made many talented classmates, which was a great blessing in my life.
I thought it was time for me to make a big difference, but I didn't know that the nightmare had just begun.
That day. My friend and I returned from the banquet, and on the way back to the inn, we were robbed.
When I am sober. I was already in a small dark room, and a man with a mask appeared in front of me.
I asked him who he was.
The man did not answer, but told me everything I had done, word for word.
When I was shocked, the man said he wanted me to do something. Otherwise, the lives of his wife and children and other relatives in the family will not be guaranteed.
I can only say yes.
The man said, "Let me wait at the inn." Two days later, my appointment will come down, and it will be the county order of Wen County.
I didn't believe it at first,
Suspicious, he returned to the inn.
My friends who came back with me didn't know about my disappearance.
Two days later, my appointment came down, but I didn't expect it to be the county order of Wen County.
I was shocked and took my family to Wenxian to take office.
I've been in Wenxian for a long time, and the person hasn't appeared, so I thought it was okay.
But I didn't expect that my whole family had already been completely monitored.
When the man saw that there was no change in me, he reappeared.
This time, he said that I can do the county order of Wen County, and it is all their operation. If you can make me the county commander, you can naturally let me go down, and the lives of my whole family are under their control. Let me obediently listen to them and do things, otherwise the whole family will not end well.
Only then did I realize that there were many of them in the county government, so I had no choice but to agree.
I didn't expect them to do such a crazy thing!
And they sent a man, saying, that they would take my son as a disciple. Teach your skills.
I never expected to learn the evil sect poison art, but I couldn't stop it at all.
I also tried to ask others for help, but after several attempts to no avail, I was almost discovered.
And my whole family is being watched when they come and go.
By the time I learned about Chaijia Village, it had been a long time since I learned about it, and at that time, Wu'er's poison art had also been cultivated.
They let me do things, and I know everything.
I know that if I do these evil things, I will go to the eighteenth level of hell, but I can't extricate myself.
But I knew that these things would be discovered sooner or later, so I wanted to find out something useful, so I pretended to be very good on the surface, and slowly gained their trust.
After a long time, I gathered all the things I found and thought that I could give them away one day.
Since all the things I sent out of the house would be searched, I came up with a way to hide them in the trees.
Then he found an excuse to cut down the tree and gave it to Carpenter Tan, who hid it because he had received my favor.
The contents of this box are the things I've found over the years.
I know that aiding and abetting is a great sin, and that I will not die a good death, but my family is innocent.
I hope you can forgive them. ”
Seeing this, Shen Zhang and Mo Ziting's hearts became very heavy.
Judging from the words on this letter, this Yang Wanshan was originally a good official who wanted to serve the people wholeheartedly, but he didn't know who was coerced and controlled by any force, and he did many helpless things.
Now that Yang Wanshan has said many things, Mo Ziting understands what it means.
Why ask him to take care of his family's safety.
I'm afraid that when he arrives in the capital, he will say that he wants to ensure the safety of his family, so he will dare to speak.
But unexpectedly, he was killed halfway through.
Fortunately, he left a hand in advance, which allowed them to find something useful.
The people behind the scenes are so powerful that they can manipulate the appointment of officials, and a "third aunt" of unknown origin has also been inserted into the Hexi County Guard's Mansion, which seems to be inseparable from a certain family in the capital.
He could think of it, and Shen Zhang could naturally think of it, the faces of the two of them had become complicated, and things were getting more and more tricky. Which family is this, what exactly is it going to do, and what is the purpose.
No matter what the difference between Shen Zhang and Mo Ziting is, there is one thing that the two of them are absolutely the same, and that is loyalty.
Needless to say, Mo Ziting has no intention of rebellion in the Huan Palace, and is absolutely loyal to Emperor Mo Qing. Shen Zhangna also said that Emperor Moqing is the son of his master, that is, the little master, and he has the responsibility to guard the world for the little master.
It is necessary to find out which family arranged all this, and it is simply a wolf's ambition not to take the court in his eyes like this.
Now that the people behind the scenes have already noticed them and killed Yang Wanshan's father and son, they must be more cautious and vigilant now.
The longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to them.
Both looked at the open box.
What was left in the box they hadn't looked at yet.
This is probably their only hope at the moment. (To be continued......)
