Chapter 25: The Truth Revealed
Tang Yun's gaze swept over the letter, and he read every word and sentence, clearly.
He then took the letter into his bosom, and when he felt that it was inappropriate, he found a flint in the house, lit a fire, and burned it.
As for the old beggar's body, Tang Yun moved him to a pit and buried him.
The old beggar was lucky enough to escape and hid in a dirt pit, so he was not killed. Now that he has died in a dirt pit, I have to say that fate is really playing tricks on people.
Tang Yun didn't believe in such a thing as fate at first, but now, he had to believe it.
Because that letter was actually for another soldier who took Xia Yihan away. And that soldier's name was Cui Dayong.
Cui Dayong, if Tang Yun is not mistaken, he knows this name.
Cui Lao, who rescued him from the sea at that time, although he did not say his name, his ship was docked in the port and needed to go to the shipping department to sign and draw the seal.
What Tang Yun saw at that time was not the name Cui Dayong.
However, when Tang Yun was resting on the boat, he had seen a talisman. Because he was going to enter the water, Cui Lao was worried that the talisman would fall into the water, so he put it on the boat.
The amulet was made of jade, and the name "Cui Dayong" was clearly engraved on it.
Tang Yun didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it is very likely that Cui Lao was the soldier who took Xia Yihan away back then.
The old beggar fell into the deep pit, Cui Dayong saw that he could not rescue his companions, and at the moment of crisis, he chose to complete the mission given to him by the general first.
He took Xia Yihan, incognito, and became a fisherman near the port.
Maybe even Haizhou's assassin didn't expect that this person named Cui Dayong would be so bold. was able to spend so many years in peace while being wanted.
Perhaps, this is why the most dangerous place is the safest place.
That Xia Yihan, if Tang Yun guessed correctly, I'm afraid it would be that little girl in Yue'er.
All kinds of weirdness can still be explained clearly.
Why did Yue'er reach the age of talking about marriage, and Cui Lao refused to tell her a matchmaker, and even refused to let her go out. In fact, it is also a means to protect her secretly.
In the letter, Tang Yun also saw a shocking secret.
This secret is related to his personal fate and the fate of the entire empire.
……
Twenty-six years of Qianshun.
That year, that is, the year when Xia Chi fell into the emperor's trap and his fate took a huge turn!
The old beggar always thought that it was Xia Chi who fell for the emperor's tricks that would lead to this result. But he didn't know that Emperor Yang was not a mediocre emperor at all, Xia Chi was the pillar of the country, how could he kill Xia Chi because he was worried about his high merits?
