Chapter 62: The Year of Mega Harvest
Outside Chang'an City, Weishui Ferry. The boatmen were busy on the wharf, and in the tea shed not far away, Tang Xiao drank tea and listened to the story, which was also delicious.
After drinking a cup of tea, he looked to the side and asked in a low voice, "Did that person appear?" ”
Mu Hongfu pointed to the beggar who was lying on the ground not far away and said, "It's him." ”
Seeing that the person he was looking for had already appeared, Tang Xiao got up and said, "Senior Brother Qin, you take him to follow us." ”
The beggar's name is Zhao Fengnian, and it is related to a case eight years ago.
The beggar was taken to a shop, a secret door of Yunlan Pavilion at the Weishui Wharf.
"Do you know why I'm here for you?"
The beggar looked at the few people in front of him and said cautiously, "The villain doesn't know. This son, the villain is just a beggar, I don't know when you offended the son, and the villain kowtows to you to make amends. ”
So saying, the beggar fell to his knees, and his head was like pounding garlic.
"Hehe, beggar......" Tang Xiao paused, got up and stepped forward: "If I didn't find the wrong person, it was you." Your name is Zhao Fengnian, right? ”
The beggar's body stiffened, and his head never lifted again.
Tang Xiao was not in a hurry, returned to his seat, and waited quietly with a teacup. Now that he had decided to see this man in person, he was sure that something would come out of his mouth. As for what secrets can be unearthed, it depends on whether this person trusts him or not.
After a long time, the beggar slowly raised his head, his face calm: "This son, the villain doesn't know what you're talking about. The villain thinks that you must have found the wrong person. ”
"Really?" Tang Xiao looked up at Zhang Zhongjian beside him and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, are there many people with the same name and surname in this world?" ”
Zhang Zhongjian was very cooperative, and pretended to take out a file to look through: "It is recorded in this file that there are thousands of people with the same name and surname in Chang'an City. As for the whole world, I think it will be more. ”
"Maybe we're really looking for the wrong person?"
Hearing this, the beggar's body suddenly relaxed. It's just that before he could put his heart in his stomach, he tensed up again.
"Maybe it's Taomu Zhao, Dunhuang City Zhaojia, it's a pity."
The beggar raised his head sharply, his expression a little hideous. At this moment, he stared at Tang Xiao like a trapped beast, and roared, "You...... Who are you? ”
"The Zhao family was killed, but you are the only one who survived, and you are also lucky." Tang Xiao stepped forward, helped the beggar up, and continued: "To live, you have to find a reason for yourself." What about you, what is your reason for living? ”
The beggar looked at Tang Xiao in a daze, and a hideous expression appeared on his face.
He needs to live, and to live will have a chance of revenge. Maybe this opportunity will never come, but if he dies, no one will remember the Zhao family's blood feud.
"That's right, the villain is called Zhaofeng Nian. Before answering Childe's question, the villain needs to know who Childe is. ”
Hearing this, Tang Xiao nodded, and slowly said word by word: "Tang Xiao." ”
"You are His Royal Highness the King of Anle?" After saying that, Zhao Fengnian had already realized that he had lost his temper. However, the words have been spoken, and it is useless to regret it, so I have to hold on to it.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that this king is quite famous."
Not only famous! It's just a good thing for everyone to know!
At this moment, Zhao Fengnian finally put his mind at ease. He understood that His Royal Highness King Anle had gone to great lengths to find him, and it must have something to do with their family's case back then. Perhaps, this is really an opportunity to avenge the family.
"Your Highness can find the villain, and you should also know that Zhao Fengnian, who died that year, died for me. The villain is very curious, why did His Highness want to investigate an old case? ”
The Mo family and the Zhao family are the two major families in the rivers and lakes, and the Mo family's mechanism and the Zhao family's puppet technique are known as Guanlong's double uniqueness.
Eight years ago, the two families were wiped out, which was a public case in the rivers and lakes. It is said that the cause was that a son of the Zhao family enlarged the belly of a young lady of the Mo family, and the young lady committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
The Zhao and Mo families have always been at odds with each other, and this incident was the fuse, so the Mo family bought the thieves of the rivers and lakes with a lot of money and destroyed the Zhao family.
Zhaofeng happened to be in Chang'an City that year, so he escaped this catastrophe. During his time in Chang'an, Zhao Fengnian met a person with different words with the same phone, Zhao Fengnian. The two hit it off at first sight and became friends.
One day, the two clashed with people outside Chang'an City, and no one expected that this skirmish would eventually develop into a big fight. And Zhao Fengnian was hacked to death by the group of people because he reported his name first. Zhao Fengnian took advantage of the chaos to escape and hide in a haystack.
On the same day, Zhao Fengnian learned of the tragic death of the Zhao family, and felt that the conflict was really strange. Think about it carefully, if Zhao Fengnian hadn't been the first to report his name, he would have died tragically in the end.
He escaped from Chang'an overnight, went around and around incognito, and only after returning to Longxi did he know that the Mo family had also been wiped out.
The Mo family did too much to the Zhao family's affairs, so it caused public anger. So under the guise of seeking justice for the Zhao family, some heroes of the rivers and lakes entangled the mountain bandits and robbers to loot the Mo family. The Mo family also died tragically on the way to flee, and none of the more than 100 members of the family were spared.
The killer's methods are very clean, and what the Mo family did has caused public anger, so naturally no one has investigated why the Mo family was destroyed, and the case has not been investigated so far.
The affairs of the two families are now only clear to Zhaofengnian, and this is simply an unjust case.
"Your Highness, the enemy of my Zhao family is not the Mo family! Please also ask Your Highness to help me identify the enemy, this cheap life of my mega year belongs to you from now on! ”
Hearing this, Tang Xiao's eyes lit up!
Zhang Zhongjian is right. The case of the Zhao and Mo families eight years ago really has another hidden story! With this breakthrough, the truth of what happened back then may soon be revealed.
Listening to Zhao Fengnian's narration, Tang smiled and sighed. Such a seven-foot man is crying like a child at the moment, and his dirty face is even dirtier.
"I was in love with Xin'er and made a private decision for life. Although there were some contradictions between the two families, Xin'er and I begged hard to make the two families relieved. My father and Uncle Mo secretly discussed that when I returned to my hometown, the two of us would get married. Unexpectedly, this farewell turned out to be a farewell. ”
Zhaofeng Nian couldn't cry and choked speechlessly. The blood feud between the Zhao and Mo families pressed on his shoulders at the same time, making him have to survive in this world.
After a long time, he continued: "Your Highness, I am not afraid of death, if I can take revenge, I can die at any time!" In the past eight years, I have been thinking about revenge all the time, but I can only survive and can do nothing! ”
Zhang Zhongjian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "It is because you are alive that you can see your daughter." Rest assured, rest well for a few days, and in a few days you will be able to reunite with your daughter. ”
Daughter? I actually have ...... Daughter?
Zhao Fengnian was stunned on the spot, grabbed Zhang Zhongjian's hand, and was very excited.
