Song Nan heard a little hidden from Zhu Changping's words, the so-called desperate worries were either the lack of chance of winning in the face of the forces of Qingwangfu, or the fact that he was indeed threatened by some people, which led Zhu Changping to be unwilling to deal with it head-on.

Song Nan sighed and said, "That's it, people like you even turn a deaf ear to revenge, what do you want me to say?" If you are still a person who reads the books of the sages, you are no different from a beast. Ling Zun also gave birth to a son like you in vain, and his son didn't even dare to explore his father's grievances in order to save his own life, and your father would be ashamed and embarrassed under the spring, and he would never be able to look at it. ”

Wang Yong sneered: "My lord, let's go, we can't help him with this kind of person, let him fend for himself, Qingwangfu will never leave him in the world in order to conceal this matter, as soon as my Jinyiwei leaves, he is the first to die, and no one is sorry if this kind of person dies." ”

Song Nan nodded and got up and said, "What I said is that he will die ugly, does this kind of person still want to gain fame?" I went back to Beijing to say hello, this person is the article is like a splendid pen like a flowing cloud, can not be admitted to fame, my Ming Dynasty wants a person with high morals and filial piety, but not this kind of unfilial piety and unrighteous waste. ”

Zhu Changping's face changed color when he heard this, knowing that these two people were singing and harmonizing to provoke him, but the words were like thorns piercing his heart, and his face was full of defeat, seeing Song Nan and Wang Yong getting up to leave, Zhu Changping suddenly shouted: "Two adults, please stay." ”

Song Nan turned around and said, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Zhu Changping said: "How did you know that my father's death was wronged? ”

Song Nan sneered: "We are Jinyiwei, eyeliner is all over the government and the opposition, even if there are also our people in the Qingwang Mansion, there are many doubts about the death of your father Zhu Zhen, so we came to investigate this matter." But as his son, you don't care about your father's hatred, and I, Jinyiwei, am also happy to be idle, so why bother to go to this troubled water. ”

Zhu Changping lowered his head and thought about it, raised his head and gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, the adults are right, I am a person who reads the books of sages, but as a son of man, I can't avenge my father's wrongs, how is it different from a pig and a dog to live in the world?" I don't know the details, but I do know that Daddy is not a man of mischief. He started as a miscellaneous servant in the Qingwang Mansion, and he was conscientious and diligent all his life, steady, cautious and reliable, and was deeply respected by the old prince, otherwise he would not have handed over the internal affairs of a huge palace to my father. It is impossible for my father to do things that damage the reputation of the palace, and although I don't know much about the purchase of the military tun, it is not my father's style. ”

Song Nan turned around and nodded: "This is like a human saying, outsiders say that your father died unjustly, is it possible that you, who are a son, do not know your father's grievances, isn't that a joke?" Tell me the truth, what was wrong with your father before and after his death? Has anyone in the palace ever come to you? ”

Zhu Changping sighed, looked at the crack between the front and back doors quickly, turned around and said, "How did you get here?" Is anyone following you? ”

Song Nan said: "Don't worry, no one knows that we are here, unless you say it yourself." ”

Zhu Changping nodded silently, came to the grass curtain in the west wing, opened the curtain and said, "Two adults come with me." ”

Song Nan and Wang Yong followed him into the West Wing, which was just as simple, with only a shelf bed and a desk, and a bookshelf full of books next to the desk. Zhu Changping came to the bookshelf, quickly found a book from a pile of ancient books, flipped through a few pages, and took out a letter from the mezzanine.

"This is a letter written to me by my father in September of the previous year, I didn't care about it at the time, but after my father's death, I suddenly understood what this letter said, fortunately, this letter was with me in the Lingzhou official school, because the night after my father's death, the house in the forage field was robbed, and the correspondence between my father and people in the old house and some relics were mysteriously missing. At first I thought it was the work of the two shameless women my father, but then I realized how they could be interested in things like letters, when they only looted money. ”

Song Nan stretched out his hand to take the letter and took out the letterhead, the writing on the brush was crooked, and there were many typos.

"Daddy hasn't studied, these words are still learned by him in the palace with the old prince, the old prince wants his father to be literate and better manage the Qingwang Mansion for him." Zhu Changping said with a little shame.

Song Nan sighed in his heart, everyone has his own story, the life experience of Zhu Zhen, who has never met before, is also an inspirational novel, he started from the palace handyman, step by step to the position of the housekeeper, learn to write, learn management, learn to use people, Song Nan can even appear in front of a poor boy trying to climb up. It's a pity that Yiqiē came to an abrupt end a few days ago, and after his death, the family wealth was divided, the mansion was reclaimed by the palace, and his only son also lived in this cold house with four walls.

The things on the letter are very simple, a large number of words are licking calf words, and Zhu Changping is also extremely concerned and greeting, like every nagging father, every nagging father greetings and advice, at the end of the letter when talking about his own situation, the key sentence that Song Nan wanted appeared.

“…… Since the king of Anhua County moved into the palace, Wei Xueyi and others have frequently entered and exited it, secretly and secretly planning things. …… The relationship between the father and the prince of Anhua has also deteriorated, and recently the prince of the county ordered what the father did, and the father felt that it was inappropriate, which violated the rules set by the old prince when he was alive, but he was severely reprimanded by the prince of Anhua for his words and persuasion. For my father, I wanted to tell the old man to resign from the position of housekeeper, but I thought of the prince's dying trust, and hoped to serve the little prince for a few years, and I didn't want to see the reputation of the Qingwang Mansion being ruined, so I still stayed as the housekeeper, and I also hoped to try my best to maintain it and live up to the trust of the old prince......"

In just a few words, the helplessness and indignation revealed from it can be seen at a glance, from which it can be seen that Zhu Zhen is also very contradictory, and he wants to leave without seeing it, but he thinks that he has served in the palace for a lifetime, and he is favored by the old prince, and he can't bear to turn a blind eye. However, because of his low status, he was ruthlessly reprimanded by the king of Anhua, so he was disheartened and depressed, which was inevitably revealed in the letter to his son.

Calculate the time, this letter is a letter written in September of the previous year, when Yang Yiqing took office as the trilateral commander-in-chief, that is, from then on, the military tun of Ningxia Town was acquired by the royal government, and the king of Anhua also said that Zhu Zhen was privately in the army from then on. The generals reached an agreement and included the generals in the Wangfu Tianmu.

From this, it can be seen that Zhu Zhen may really be the one who came forward to accept Tuntian, but it was not necessarily his own volition, it is very likely that King Anhua forced him to do this, which is also the reason why Zhu Zhen was depressed after doing what he did not want to do.

"Have these words been in the letters since?" Song Nan asked.

Since then, my father has rarely written letters, and he has also taken on two concubines. I had a big fight with him for this, and I didn't come back to see him for more than a year, but I didn't see my father's body until after his death, and it was a year and two months since I last saw him alive. ”

The corners of Zhu Changping's eyes were moist again, and tears fell down in a stream.

Song Nan patted him on the shoulder wordlessly, stretched out his hand to rummage through the bookshelf, Zhu Changping wiped his tears and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is still something for my lord to see, please step back." ”

Song Nan and Wang Yong flashed aside, but saw Zhu Changping bend down and touch under the bookshelf for a while, took out a big box, and slowly opened it on the desk.

"My lord, this is the silver tael that my father deposited in Zài Yinzhuang, and my father mentioned this matter in a letter sent to me ten days ago, and sent me the voucher in the letter. Yesterday I secretly went to get it back, this may be the living assets that my father left for me, maybe he had already realized that his life was short, but unfortunately I didn't care about these arrangements of my father at that time, and I didn't understand what he meant. ”

Song Nan stretched out his hand to flick these silver pairs, and his heart was full of doubts, although Yinzhuang has the function of storing items, but more people are still willing to exchange silver and other hammer things for silver tickets to carry on their bodies, Zhu Zhen's move is really a little strange, why do you want to store this big box in Zài Yinzhuang instead of directly exchanging it for silver tickets?

Song Nan raised his hand and poured all the silver on the table, the box was empty, Song Nan reached out and pulled it in the pile of silver, but he didn't see anything, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhu Changping said: "There is nothing but silver, and my father didn't leave a word, in fact, when I went to pick up this box, I didn't know that it was silver, because the voucher that my father sent me was written in a wooden box, not silver." ”

Song Nan was stunned for a moment, it is said that the stored thing is silver, and it should be written that it is silver taels, otherwise once the silver taels are missing, it will be difficult to say clearly. Zhu Zhen's voucher is written on a box, which means that in Zhu Zhen's heart, this box is more important than silver, and Yinzhuang will definitely not lose this box, because what he wants to take on the voucher is a box he deposited.

Song Nan lifted the wooden box and looked up and down, left and right, and finally found the clues, the bottom of the box was a little too thick, and there was a hollow sound when the fingers were tapped, Song Nan reached out and pulled out the dagger from Wang Yong's hand, and poked it the wooden board, with a click, the bottom plate was pried open, and the naked eye could see that there was a faint paper exposed at the interlayer.

Song Nan was overjoyed, pried open a big opening, reached out and took out a pile of paper from the mezzanine, because the bottom plate was placed in some damp place, the paper was soaked in moisture and was already a little dirty and damaged, but the handwriting on it could still be seen, it was a stack of hand-copied field deeds, at a cursory glance, it was a copy of the agreement signed with the generals in the army when Qingwangfu acquired Juntun. Song Nan didn't have time to take a closer look, kicked it in his arms and said: "Your father is a smart man, he has already predicted his end, and these things are evidence; I am afraid that it is not appropriate to put this thing in your hands, so I will keep it for you. ”

Zhu Changping was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there were such things in the wooden box left by his father, and he didn't know anything about it.

"Brother Zhu, these things you provided today are very useful, your father is definitely a victim, I will definitely seek justice for Ling Zun. You must remain silent about today's affairs, or you will be in danger of your life. ”

Zhu Changping's face turned pale and said, "Don't worry, my lord, how can I say it." ”

Song Nan said: "There is one more thing I want to ask you, your father is running an errand in the palace, presumably you should know something about the layout of the palace, can you draw a picture for me?" I could have asked others about this, but in this Ningxia town, I can't trust others lightly, I can only trust you. ”

Zhu Changping was stunned and said, "You ...... Do you want to steal into the palace? ”

Song Nan said: "You don't care about this. ”

Zhu Changping said: "I have been in and out of the palace when I was a child, and I don't remember the situation inside, but I have a cousin who was brought into the palace by my father to do things, and he has been in the palace for more than ten years, so he should be clear." ”

Song Nan said: "Is it reliable?" ”

Zhu Changping said: "He is loyal and honest, otherwise my father would not have taken him into the palace to do things." ”

Song Nanxi said: "That's great." ”
