Chapter 117: The Hidden Truth
For a long time, Xu Yuan thought that after the fire in the Xu family, maybe the matter would be over. Since a person is dead, there is no need to pursue anything else. But the cruelty of the truth in front of him made him know what it really means to kill them all and break their bones and ashes. His ancestral grave was razed to the ground, and his family was hidden under the martial temple......
They would have died! Why still refuse to let them go! Xu Yuan took a few steps back and patted the autopsy: "There is no need for an autopsy, these are my parents." He shook his head: "My lord, I don't mean to disturb, it's just that after many years, have you ever done anything here?" ”
He opened his mouth to say something, but then he gave up, patted him on the shoulder, leaned against the wall, and sat down on the ground as if he had lost his strength. "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Yue Han didn't like dead people, but when he saw that Xu Yuan's face was not very good, he thought he was scared, so he hurried over to take a look.
"You know, that little coffin you overturned?" "Yes." Yue Han nodded. "It contained my sister's bones. When my sister died, she was very young. "Yes... I'm sorry brother, I didn't know that was the place where your family stored the bones, but I was ignorant and I broke in. Senior brother, punish me, I admit it. ”
Xu Yuan sighed faintly, his eyes still empty. "I didn't even know there was such a place where our family kept our bones. When I first came back yesterday, our ancestral graves were flattened, and my father's bones were gone, and I thought I would never find them. ”
"Senior brother, in fact, I am in the mountains all the year round, I don't know a lot, but the bones of your parents have been found, shouldn't you be happy?" Xu Yuan was speechless, indeed, in this aspect, it was difficult for Yue Han to empathize with him. "When I left Haizhou, Master told me that I was still practicing martial arts as usual, but when I returned to Haizhou, Xufu was already a sea of fire."
The little girl listened very carefully. "Why didn't Senior Brother go to save people?" "I want to, too." Xu Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky blankly. "I have no choice, I have to find a way to correct my family's name, my father Xu Shu is not a traitor. He should not be abandoned by the world. ”
"Yes, such a little girl, she shouldn't have lost her life so early. But brother, there's nothing wrong with you doing this. Yue Han looked at Xu Yuan, and he asked, "Why is there nothing wrong?" If I hadn't gone out that day, maybe I would have saved my sister's life. ”
"You saved her, but she was the only one left in the world. Senior brother, do you know how difficult it is for a girl to redress her family's grievances in this world? You're all leaving, leaving it all to a girl? Senior brother, I'm glad you're willing to take on all this. ”
"A living person is sometimes many times more painful than a dead person. Yue Han, you're still a child, how can you understand?" Xu Yuan stood up and wanted to leave, but Yue Han grabbed his sleeve and said, "Senior brother, you are not alone in this world who has experienced pain, please don't think that I am sick and moaning because of my age."
Xu Yuan was silent, just walked away. How many of the people who were taken in by Master were extremely happy? If you are not forced to do so, who wants to retreat into the mountains and spend all day with birds and animals? Looking at the two white bones, Xu Yuan's heart was endlessly sad. If he hadn't insisted on provoking Kikige, maybe his father would have been suppressed, and he wouldn't have lost his life.
It's a pity that he was not the person at the top of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, otherwise he would not have failed to protect his lover and family. Now it's all yin and yang, and it's all about people here." My lord, there are indeed two people here, a man and a woman, and according to the words on the coffin, they are also very likely to be General Xu and Mrs. Xu."
He nodded, and continued: "The bones in the necks of Mrs. Xu and General Xu are damaged, but not elsewhere, so they should have died by suicide." Do you know who built this martial temple?" It should be Zhao Ruizhao, the chief soldier of that year."" Why do you know so well?" There is no record of the local annals, but this man remembers it so clearly.
He responded to Xu Yuan's questioning unhurriedly: "Lord Hui, at that time, Lord Zhao, the chief soldier, raised silver taels from the people, and the villain donated a year's worth of silver at that time, a total of fifteen taels of silver, so my memory is still fresh." Xu Yuan nodded: "This martial god temple was built in the city, why don't the people in the city have any objections?" Could it be that the Mongols have been fighting with General Xu Shu for many years, and when they see that his temple is outside the city, they will not take the opportunity to bully him? The people have been sheltered by General Xu for many years, how can they bear it?"
"If the people really think of my father's kindness to them, how can they occupy my family's ancestral tomb? And bulldoze the tombs of my ancestors, and hide the bones of my parents in the small temple, I am afraid that they will break the bones and scatter ashes, right?" Xu Yuan pressed forward step by step, and his face was full of embarrassment: "What do you say about this, my lord?" You know that...."
Trying hard to adjust his mood, Xu Yuan said to his relatives: "Find some good coffins, I want to bury my parents." The guard nodded and went to do it. But he really couldn't understand why his parents died and his ancestral graves were dug up, but there were still people building temples in the city. Didn't Liu Huizu know?
Many questions lingered in Xu Yuan's heart. Everyone said one thing at a time, and the fear in their eyes was flattery, flattery, and indifference, but in the final analysis, they were all lies. No one told him if his parents had killed themselves, and no one would know if someone had come to kill him that night. Why are their bodies hidden under this temple, in the hustle and bustle of the city?
If it is Liu Huizu, then his character may indeed have leveled Xu Yuan's ancestral tomb in order to calm the emperor's anger, but it is absolutely impossible to erect a monument for Xu Shu to open a temple. If it was Lord Zhao, if he wanted to dig a place under the temple where he could put the coffin, it would be impossible to completely hide it from people in this city, and the people might not want this kind of thing to happen.
"Can you find the craftsman who built the temple back then? Xu Yuan asked, Taishou thought about it. It should be possible, and please allow some time for the lower officials." Sending him away, Xu Yuan thought hard in his mind, but he couldn't think of anything, and he couldn't think about it.
