Ning Nan pleaded: "The younger generation knows the teacher's intentions before he dies, but... The younger generation really can't bear to watch the later generations misunderstand the teacher, watch the official history erase all the teacher's merits, and label him a traitor. One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, if this matter is not fair, what qualifications do the younger generations have to live freely? ”

Jiang Shan's brows were tightly locked, his eyes were fixed, and he looked at him and muttered for a moment: "Old man don't say it, you should also understand which two people were behind the Chang Mengjun case... If you really want to rehabilitate the people of the past, you must take action against these two people. But these two people, one is Deng Guozhong, who is at the core of today's party, and the other is your father. You keep saying that you want to let the mastermind behind the scenes subdue the law and redress the wronged, do you really have such determination and courage? ”

There was a hint of wavering in his words, as if he was about to be persuaded by Ning Nanwei. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter needed to be cautious, and the young man in front of him needed to be even more cautious, if this young man was not completely sure, he could not let him jump into the fire pit.

"These juniors who said Taigong understand it. Even if the younger generation can't kill his relatives in righteousness, he will definitely make my father pay the price for his evil deeds back then. As for the Deng family, the younger generation also has a detailed plan, so the prince doesn't have to worry too much, the people involved in the case back then... The younger generation will make them confess their sins one by one. Ning Nan's worried and stubborn expression moved Jiang Gong, and the old man, who was nearly six or seven years old, burst into tears for a while, his heart was boiling with enthusiasm, and his still bright eyes showed expectation.

Gu An had been listening to the conversation between the two silently, and at this moment, in addition to the shock after learning the truth, there was only admiration for Ning Nan in his heart.

Thirteen years long, as always, this determination is not easy, and it is not something that ordinary people can do. What's more, Ning Nanwei has been in the power struggle since he was a child, surrounded by the stigma and turbidity of the hundred and turning, and under the personal teaching and influence of Ning Zheng, the king of Huai, for thirteen years, he still maintains the love and respect for Lu Fuzi in his heart, which is really something that ordinary people can't do.

If his calculation was correct, when Lu Fuzi was executed, the man in Xuanyi in front of him was only eleven years old, just a child with an incomplete mind.

Gu An's thoughts were mixed up in a mess, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed. Back then, he entered the capital with full of enthusiasm, worshiped under the door of Situ Li Chengyi, and heard his teacher say a word of Confucius in detail: "Listen to it and say it, and abandon it." "It is intended to teach disciples not to hearsay.

Any rhetoric that spreads on the street will vary from person to person, and different people will have different ideas, which requires the listener to have his own thoughts and not to disbelieve rumors. At that time, Gu An was puzzled by Mr. specially teaching this matter, at that time, he thought that the flow of pills stopped at Ou Yuan, and the rumors stopped at the wise, and he was a wise man, and he also had good intentions in his heart, and he would never listen to the words of others, so he naturally had his own judgment.

But unconsciously, he also had a prejudice against Ning Nanwei, thinking that he was the son of a powerful minister, and the gossip on the streets and alleys must be true. Therefore, he has always been dismissive of such people, and he does not want to understand, and he does not want to touch the original appearance. It wasn't until now that he realized that the traitorous and evil minister in the mouth of the world was also burdened with a heavy past, with morality in his heart, and he was also an iron-clad and affectionate man.

So after pondering for a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Jiang Taigong might as well follow the wish of the Marquis of Huaiyin... It was not easy for him to make this determination, and he was also moved by it. ”

Jiang Taigong turned his head to look at Gu An, and saw that this young man's black eyes were also full of sincerity at this moment, and his heart finally relaxed.

He sighed lightly, turned his head to look at Ning Nan again, and said, "Child... If the old man can help you, you should do your best. It's just that... Please forgive the old man for not handing over Lu Yu's blood book to you. ”

Jiang Shan rejected Ning Nan's request, and said solemnly: "Back then, Lu Yu entrusted this blood book to the old man, and personally explained that unless there was civil strife in the Great Wei, this book could not be reproduced in the world, and no one should know the content of this book. Even the old man... In order to keep this book a secret, I have never read it with my own eyes. The old man has always made a promise, and since he promised Lu Yu, he will definitely not disappoint him. ”

His tone was decisive.

Ning Nan was worried about this, and knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, and in addition to being depressed, he could only obey Lu Fuzi's last orders, and said with a fist: "The prince keeps his promise, and the juniors are grateful, even so, the juniors will no longer force it, and follow the teacher's orders." ”

Immediately afterwards, he saluted Gu An and said, "Thank you, Lord Gu, for believing what Ben Hou said." Ben Hou can stay here for a short time, if it is a long time, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Wuhu King Meng Disaster. If the two adults are willing to help Benhou... So would you like to hear about Ben Hou's plan? ”

At this moment, everyone present, whether it was the Jing Inspector Guard, the Jiang family, Gu An's personal attendants, and the reinforcements, all looked forward to Gu An and Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan and Gu An nodded solemnly and responded.

Ning Nanwei touched everyone present with full sincerity, and this brave young man won their trust, and also won the respect of Jiang Shan and Gu An.

In the next few hours, Ning Nanwei carefully explained his plan to Jiang Shan and Gu An, and listened to the suggestions of these two people to make some improvements, and finally determined the strategy.

By the time he had arranged everything and left from the villa where Jiang Shan and Gu An lived, it was already the second day he had rushed to this county.

Lu Xun and Ji Xianzhi waited outside, and when Ning Nan got into the carriage, they rushed in the direction of the office.

On the carriage, Ning Nan was worried about leaning on the cushion, closing his eyes a little tiredly, and Ji Xianzhi said with some distress on the side: "The lord doesn't need to rush like this... If you want to rest, you can rest in the lodge for the night before leaving. ”

Ning Nan closed his eyes and whispered, "Time waits for no one. According to the plan, now Jiang Chengyi should also go to Longzhong to find Shi An... I've got to hurry... The matter of Linhe cannot be delayed, there has already been chaos in Wuhu, and Zhou Yuancheng has already arranged for the Huang Barbarian to intercept the news and prevent Meng Disaster from knowing. I can't afford to waste a second in this scorching situation. ”

Ji Xianzhi lowered his eyes and listened carefully, knowing that he couldn't persuade his stubborn temper, so he simply closed his mouth and didn't continue to persuade.

The canopy was quiet, and Ning Nan fell asleep groggily, always locking the pair of heroic eyebrows during the somewhat bumpy journey, as if he was always vigilant about something.

The carriage traveled for about an hour, and slowly stopped when it staggered, and Lu Xun, who was driving, pulled the reins and "called", and when the carriage stopped, he jumped down, lifted the curtain and shouted inside: "Lord, it's here." "Dream life

Inside the car, Ning Nan was a little dazed in his sleep, and when he heard Lu Xun shouting in such a loud voice, he woke up suddenly, looked out of the car with a somewhat confused look, and struggled to sit up with Ji Xianzhi's support: "Arrived so soon?" ”

Lu Xun nodded at him and pulled up the curtain for him.

Ning Nan got up, got out of the carriage, jumped down, and turned around to see that there were hundreds of loess tombs erected on this wasteland, and there was a wooden tombstone inserted in front of each mound, and a few words were written upright, with different names and territories.

The periphery of these hundreds of loess bags is firmly surrounded by two wooden fences, and carpenters are doing their work to make tombstones for some people who have not yet had time to be buried.

Ning Nan stared at this cemetery with a heavy heart, with a solemn expression on his face.

Lu Xun and Ji Xianzhi stood behind him, their faces were also very sad.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time. The three of them stood in front of these loess tombs like a military posture and mourned for two incense sticks in silence.

After a solemn silence, Ning Nan said in a solemn silence: "All the brothers are here? ”

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red.

Even an iron-clad man like Lu Xun had red eyes at the moment, nodded a little lowly, and said, "It's all here." ”

"Those sergeants who died with Jiang Chan in battle... Have you buried it properly? ”

"It's all been buried on the spot," Lu Xun replied.

"Have you written down your name and address?" Ning Nan continued to ask.

"One by one, they were all in accordance with the lord's wishes, and they all sent a pension of two dollars."

...

After this conversation, the three masters and servants were silent again.

I don't know how long I stood there, Ning Nan solemnly raised his hand, bowed with both arms, and bowed respectfully to this loess grave: "All the kings are brave, and you are kind, I keep it in mind and go all the way!" ”

Lu Xun and Ji Xianzhi behind him also followed his movements, and bowed respectfully to the Jing Du Wei who had fallen asleep under these graves.

After this matter was over, Ning Nan slowly got up and sighed, "Go back." ”

Lu Xun nodded, turned around and said a few words to the Jing Inspector Wei who was looking after the cemetery, and then drove the carriage and slowly walked to Ning Nanwei.

Only then did the three of them officially rush to the Linhe Place.

By the time I got back to the command, it was almost nightfall.

Before the three of them got off the carriage, they saw Aunt Biyun beside the Cao family hurriedly running out of the courtyard, as if waiting for them to return.

Ning Nan heard Bi Yun's call, hurriedly got out of the car, and when she saw her anxious face, she was a little uneasy in her heart: "But my mother is sick again?" ”

Bi Yun listened to his question, but shook her head, and then somehow nodded again.

Ning Nan frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Bi Yun hesitated, and finally gritted her teeth and replied: "The prince has been away for the past two days... The lady and Mrs. Xiang had a conflict, and the two quarreled endlessly, making Mrs. faint. ”

"What?" Ning Nan was suddenly shocked, and without waiting for Bi Yun to finish speaking, he strode into the mansion and rushed towards the southern courtyard.
