After the New Year, Wang Qi sent someone over to tell Su Lu about the case of the previous year, saying that someone had found it, and it was a foreign family of Tang officials in the west of the city.

The Tang family's crimes have been punished (fined), and the officials who assisted Tang Yueniang in arresting people have also been dismissed, and the rest of the family affairs are not under the control of the yamen, and they have to negotiate by themselves. Along with these words, there was also the "money to buy sin" handed over by the Tang family.

The person sent by Wang Jue also said that Lao Jiang, as a bitter master, should take this money.

Lao Jiang politely sent the people away, and when the people were far away, the smile on his face faded. He said: "It seems that this Tang member has a backer in the court. ”

Generally speaking, this kind of money for buying sin does not fall into the hands of the sufferer, and there is no such practice.

Wang Jue's purpose in sending money over was obvious, just to appease him.

Su Lu said: "You haven't got your money bag back yet, and Sister Ning and her father's affairs haven't been settled, this matter is not over." He glanced at Lao Jiang and added, "You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind first, you don't have to worry about this matter." ”

Lao Jiang nodded.

He was a little itchy, and he couldn't wait to know if it was Ning Shengnan's father, but he also knew that he didn't have many opportunities to take the exam, and he had to make good use of this spring festival.

Su Lu appeased Lao Jiang, called King Kong, and asked him to go out to inquire about Tang Yuan's family.

If you have the opportunity, contact the man who is suspected of abandoning his wife and daughter.

Su sat by the fire, watching the charcoal fire crackle in the hearth.

He doesn't like to deceive much, and he doesn't like to fight for power, his ideas are simple and pure from beginning to end, and he doesn't have the great ambition of a very good minister.

But when it comes to the struggle for power, it will inevitably be accompanied by endless ugly calculations and visible and invisible bloodshed and sacrifice.

Ordinary people who are involved in the whirlpool of power will soon find themselves facing countless compromises and concessions, and perhaps in the end, they will forget their original intentions and change their appearance.

There are people in the Tang Dynasty outside the court, and they are even Wang Qi, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, who has to be treated cautiously, so even if his daughter almost caused a candidate who has spent most of her life to be unable to take the exam, she just paid some money to buy sin.

Rational and intelligent people should not wade into this troubled water with interest, because they will definitely not be able to please if they continue to pursue it.

Su Lu looked at his small palm.

At present, the hands are still clean, and they have not been stained with any dirt.

Coming to this era that is very strange to him, Su Lu actually has only one small wish: I hope that he and the people around him can live comfortably.

Now it seems that the simplest wishes are the most difficult to achieve.

After all, life is not as good as it should be eight or nine times out of ten, but anyone who has a little pursuit and a little flesh cannot live too comfortably.

"Xiaocui, bring me the book I didn't finish reading in the morning." Su Lu said.

Xiaocui has been guarding the side, and when she saw Su Lu so ordered, she did as she was told.

Su Lu lit the charcoal fire and quietly read the book.

Xiao Cui looked at Su Lu's calm side face, and somehow felt that Su Lu was a little different from before. She didn't say anything, instead stared at the charcoal fire, and added charcoal to it in time.

The room was so quiet that there was only the occasional crackling sound of charcoal burning.

King Kong came back in the evening, he didn't come back on his own, and he brought a man back.

Su Lu asked King Kong to bring people in, only to find that the person who came was tall, about early forties, and looked strong.

There was a chilling aura on his body, and at a glance, he knew that he had really had human blood on his hands.

Su Lu put down the book in his hand unhurriedly, looked up at the person, and found that the other party's appearance was indeed quite similar to Ning Shengnan, especially the heroic sword eyebrows.

This person has a red birthmark under his left ear, which is not big to look at, which is the size of a thumb.

Su Lu beckoned, "Sit down and talk." ”

When people came to see that Su Lu was so young, he was definitely not the person who was imprisoned because he recognized him, as King Kong said. He sat down as he said and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Jiang is in the temple?" ”

"Lao Jiang is studying behind closed doors." Su Lu said, "I also know about your wife and children, so you don't have to bother Lao Jiang." ”

The person who came told Su Lu about his current situation, he was lucky to pick up a life on the battlefield, Tang Yuanwai had a life-saving grace for him, and told him that he didn't want his granddaughter to have no father, so he wanted him to join the Tang family.

He didn't remember anything at the time, so he promised to be the boy a father, and that would be for several years. It's not that he didn't want to retrieve his past memories, but the battle was tragic at that time, and their group of people was almost wiped out, so naturally there were no clues to find.

He doesn't like the arrogant and domineering Tang Yueniang, and he doesn't agree with many of Tang Yueniang's practices, but he loves Tang Manman's daughter very much, and he usually teaches her martial arts when he has time.

The child has been raised for a long time and has feelings, and his desire to find the past is light.

Later, the Tang family moved to Kaifeng, and he followed him to the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Su Lu didn't expect that the reality was even more bizarre than his script, and even the matter of amnesia giving someone else to raise a daughter came out.

Su Lu only said: "You have a biological daughter." ”

Just one sentence made the tall man sitting opposite him feel a shock in his heart.

He was in a trance, and remembered some vague images.

The youngest daughter ran to him with joy and said that she would learn martial arts with him. Where was he willing to let the little girl practice martial arts, coaxed her to say that it was very hard to practice martial arts, but she said in a milky voice: "I'm not afraid of hard work!" ”

Seeing that the man's expression had changed, Su Lu took a sip of tea slowly, and then continued to tell the other party about what happened to Ning Sheng's mother and daughter in the past few years.

Because there was no man, they were kicked out by his brothers, who went to Chengdu Mansion with a glimmer of hope, but their relatives turned them away.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Ning's mother was seriously ill after a cold, forcing Ning Shengnan to go to Washi to make a living.

In those extremely difficult days, their mother and daughter relied on each other and survived day by day.

Su Lu said: "The Tang family acted so ruthlessly, and it was easy to frame an innocent scholar, which is obviously not the first time to do this. Su Lu looked up, "With such a Yue family, you are also very embarrassed." If you can't get out, or if you can't bear your current wife and children, it's better to write a letter to me now, so that Sister Ning and the others will completely die. ”

The man froze in place.

Su Yu guessed correctly, it was indeed not the first time Tang Yueniang had done such a thing, and now there are still innocent people who are locked up in prison and have not come out.

The local relationship is more complicated, the Tang family can be said to be the same in the local area, and now that the Tang family has moved to Kaifeng, there are still many people in the Tang family who remain there, and it is impossible for the person who was put in prison by Tang Yueniang to come out for the rest of his life.

When he found out about these things, he had become the son-in-law of the Tang family and carefully taught Tang Manman for several years. He persuaded Tang Yuanwai, but Tang Yuanwai told him to be nosy, and the Tang family could let that person in, or let him in.

It's just a son-in-law, and he can be replaced by someone else without him.

For Tang Yuanwai, his daughter and granddaughter are the most important.

He knew that Tang Yuanwai could really put him in prison, so he didn't come out strongly, and only turned a blind eye and concentrated on teaching his "daughter".

Would she be disappointed if his daughter, who had always regarded him as a hero, knew that he had become like this now?
