"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Old Man Bai only reacted at this time, and subconsciously asked.

However, in the next moment, his body stiffened, and his eyes widened, "You guys...... Aren't you ......"

Thinking of that possibility, Old Man Bai's body became stiff, and he looked at the two of them blankly.

Shao Nanchu bowed slightly at him.

"Yes, I asked Jin Qing to go back to Beijing this time, but I found out something about the old man. If what I found out is true, then what the old man experienced back then has something to do with me. Shao Nanchu opened his mouth in a low voice.

The old man Bai was full of excitement, his face turned red, and he trembled and couldn't speak.

"Don't get excited, old man, sit down first, we have a long night to talk." Shao Nan saw that he was too excited to do anything, so he hurriedly poured him a glass of water and handed it to Old Man Bai to calm his mood.

Old Man Bai barely suppressed the anxiety in his heart, slowly spit out a mouthful of turbidity, drank water, and then put down the cup and said softly: "Say, what have you all found?" ”

"Fifty years ago, there was a young man in Kyoto, who won the top prize in the liberal arts at the age of fifteen, whether it was talent or strategy, it was extremely admirable, that person's name was Bai Yiyu, the word is Zhengxing, from an ordinary family."

After becoming the champion, this person devoted himself to serving the country and working hard, and was exceptionally promoted to the position of Jing Zhaoyin in just five years, and he stayed for four years. During his four-year tenure, the rule of law in the capital was strict, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was almost no way to go, and the number of people stealing chickens and dogs was sharply reduced. ”

"In his fourth year in office, a major event occurred in the capital. At that time, Sun Yao, who had become the youngest general in Kangguo, had just turned one year old, and Bai Yiyu was responsible for tracking down this matter. ”

Shao Nanchu spoke, his eyes did not leave Old Man Bai's face, seeing that his expression was in a trance, his eyes were faintly red, and there seemed to be sadness in his eyes, he immediately understood that Old Man Bai was indeed Bai Yiyu, he said that his name was Bai Zhengxing before, and it was not a lie.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, counting it, it was really his family who owed Old Man Bai's family.

Back then, his mother owed Old Man Bai a life, and he owed Bai Qiuluo a life, the reincarnation of heaven and the people whose fate was entangled, after all, they met across thousands of mountains and rivers in the dark.

In the same year that Bai Yiyu became famous, Sun Yao, the champion of martial arts, also became famous, and went to the frontier to make contributions that year. The two have known each other since childhood, but Sun Yao is from a high family and Bai Yiyu is from a cold family, but even if their family backgrounds are far apart, the two still become inseparable friends. ”

"But both of them are also young and famous, and they are also the young talents at that time, one writer and one martial artist, and they are deeply loved by the emperor."

When Bai Yiyu was twenty-four years old, it was also the fourth year that he became the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, the frontier war was in full swing, Sun Yao took command of the expedition, won many games in a row, rubbed the enemy's spirit, and defeated the enemy army one after another. It was also at this critical time that Sun Yao's daughter, who had just turned one year old, disappeared. Shao Nanchu's voice was a little low, and when he saw the sadness spreading in Old Man Bai's eyes, he was also deeply sorry in his heart.

He suddenly felt a little choked in his throat, coughed lightly to suppress his emotions, and then continued to speak.

Sun Yao couldn't be distracted by the enemy on the frontier, so he hurriedly sent a message to ask his friends to help find his daughter, Bai Yiyu kept looking for someone, and was resolutely unwilling to give up hope. However, after half a month, there is still no trace. ”

"Later, there were rumors in the market that Bai Yiyu was a spy of the enemy country, and he stole Sun Yao's daughter, so as to blackmail him and make him deliberately defeated."

"It happened that news came from the frontier that Sun Yao was defeated for the first time and retreated to the 500-meter battlefield, and the common people demanded that Bai Yiyu, a traitor, be taken down and brought to justice. At this time, the people have long forgotten who kept them from being harassed by roosters and dog thieves in the capital all these years, and only wanted his life. ”

It was also at this time that Bai Yiyu's family disappeared, and his parents, wife and children, including himself, disappeared overnight as if they had evaporated. However, all the guards in his house died tragically and were all killed. ”

"Therefore, the imperial court confirmed his charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and ordered that his family be wanted, young and old, who can be beheaded first, and those who take Bai Yiyu's head can also be added to the ranks." When Shao Nanchu said this, his eyes were already full of pity when he looked at Old Man Bai.

Because he knows very well that the so-called treason with the enemy is not true.

Old Man Bai couldn't keep calm at this time, his red eyes finally fell a line of muddy tears, and his old face full of ravines was full of the vicissitudes and sadness of the years.

He reached out and covered his face, speechless in grief.

Shao Nanchu moved his lips, but he didn't say any more.

These are enough, and it is enough to explain the identity of the old man.

That's right, Old Man Bai is the champion of liberal arts who amazed the entire capital back then, surnamed Bai Yiyu, and the word is Zhengxing.

After a long while, Old Man Bai raised his head, although there were no tears on his face, his face was full of grief.

"It's not treason, I'm not treason." Old Man Bai spoke, his voice hoarse.

"General Sun asked me to bring a message to the old man, he said that he was grateful to the old man for refusing to give up tracking down the whereabouts of his beloved daughter, and also left him a clue, so that the people he sent could rescue his beloved daughter and raise her safely. It's a pity that the old man was killed by a traitor and was named treasonous, and he felt deeply indebted. He always believed that the old man would not commit treason. Jin Qing stood up at this time and spoke.

"Over the years, the general has never given up the pursuit of the truth of the year, but unfortunately the other party's hands and feet are too clean, he has only found a trace of side branches after so many years, and now his identity is different, it is inconvenient to go out of Beijing, so as not to cause accidents, so as to wait for the old man to go back in the capital, the two swords are combined, and the shame of decades will be washed!"

When Old Man Bai heard this, he finally couldn't help crying again, "Okay, good, I finally didn't make a mistake with his friend back then." ”

Looking at Old Man Bai's tearful but somewhat excited appearance, Shao Nan's heart trembled lightly, full of guilt.

In the final analysis, Old Man Bai fell to this point because he helped his grandfather track down his mother's whereabouts, but the old man was silent for forty years, but he did not have any resentment, only excitement, which made him feel emotional.

"Old man, what happened back then? Why did you end up here, your family ......" Shao Nanchu couldn't help but ask.

Although he knew that such a question was revealing the old man's wounds, he had to ask.

The news that Jin Qing brought from the capital this time shocked him.

And back then, Old Man Bai got into trouble because of his mother, and he was saddled with the name of treason, and he ended up in such a field, as his mother's only child, it was impossible for him to ignore this matter.

When Old Man Bai heard Shao Nanchu mention that year, his body stiffened slightly, and the sadness in his eyes became heavier and heavier.

After a while, Old Man Bai slowly spoke, and told the two of them what had happened back then, and let the two of them ...... I directly felt the bloody storm back then.

"Before I received Sun Yao's call for help, I had been tracking down his daughter's disappearance. The child disappeared at the first birthday banquet, and the grandchildren's family was overcrowded that day, but it was difficult to investigate. ”

"But I'm not a person who gives up easily, and the matter involves friends, so I don't want to give up, so I will check it out."

"With my perseverance, I finally traced some clues of Xu Neng, and it was at this time that someone found me and asked me to give up the investigation of this matter."

"At that time, the child had been missing for more than ten days, and if the other party had bad intentions, the child's bones would have been gone, but it was precisely because of the appearance of this person that I was more sure that this was a conspiracy, and Sun Yao's child was still alive."

"I pretended to be afraid that the other party's forces would agree not to pursue it, turn everything into darkness, and continue the investigation."

"The emperor paid off, I finally found the place where Sun Yao's daughter might be imprisoned, and immediately sent a signal with a special summons to notify Sun Yao, and asked him to arrange to rescue the child to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"But I didn't expect that in the days when I was waiting for Sun Yao's layout, my henchmen who were tracking down with me were actually bought by the other party and betrayed me."

"Later, the news of my treason began to circulate, I was the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion for four years, and I worked hard for four years, almost governing the entire capital into a place of Datong, but I didn't want to, those people ruined me in only four days."

Old Man Bai couldn't help crying when he said this, his closed eyes were full of tears, and he didn't wipe them, as if he wanted to let the tears wash away, and completely reveal the buried truth.

"On the fourth day when the rumors came out, I was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace to face the saint, although the emperor trusted me, he couldn't stand the gossip, so he temporarily suspended me from work and stayed at home and waited for him to send someone to find out the matter."

"However, when I came out of the palace and returned home, I found that the whole family was gone. My father, mother, wife, and children all disappeared, but all the people in the house died, and an address was left for me in the main hall, saying that if I didn't go, I would never see my family again. ”

"My family is inseparable from me, so I didn't think much about it and left. But when I arrived, all I saw were five headless corpses, my parents, wife, and children were there, and their heads were placed next to them, looking at me without looking at me, and they were ...... death."

When Old Man Bai said this, his eyes were already split, his voice was almost formless, his eyes widened, and his pupils were a little dilated.

Seeing this, Shao Nanchu secretly said that it was not good, so he hurriedly got up and put his hands into palms against his back, and used internal force to regulate the uncontrolled qi in his body.

After a while, Old Man Bai's dilated pupils focused, and he gradually gained his spirit.

Shao Nanchu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand.

Seeing that Old Man Bai came to his senses, Shao Nanchu said softly: "Old man, I'm really sad, so I won't say anything, let's find those people in the future, and give back to them in the same way." ”

Old Man Bai waved his hand when he heard this, and his voice calmed down: "It's okay, the most difficult things have been overcome, and the rest of the things will be even simpler." ”

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and continued to speak.
