Chapter 3: Father-son confrontation

The palace, the emperor was furious.

"Waste, it's all waste. You have all been deceived by Su Qiming's old thing, this tiger talisman is fake. Give it to me to find it, and dig three feet into the Su Mansion for me, if you can't find it, you all come to see it. ”

"The emperor is angry, and the old minister will definitely atone for his sins and live up to his mission."

The official Shangshu knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling. He had just raided the Su family with Chen Liye, and in order to invite merit, as soon as he got the tiger talisman, he rushed to the palace non-stop, never thinking that this tiger talisman was actually fake.

The official Shangshu withdrew from the main hall and hurried to Su Mansion with his men and horses, he turned over Su Mansion and did not find the real tiger talisman, so he could only go back trembling and resuming his life.

"Waste, are all the people of the Su family dead? Isn't there a single one alive? The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said angrily.

"Back to the emperor, after counting, only Miss Su was still alive in the Su Mansion, and she was not in the mansion at that time." The official secretary spoke cautiously.

"Isn't that easy? Do you still need to be taught by me? Hurry up and find her, and remember to live. The Tiger Talisman must be on her! ”

"Yes, the old minister obeys." Seeing that the emperor did not blame, the official Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"You hurry up and do it, and find Chen Xiang by the way."

"Yes." The official Shangshu exited the hall as if fleeing, touching his forehead with his hand, and he was already sweating profusely. The emperor's temper is getting more and more irritable, and this errand is really getting more and more difficult to do.

Chen Liye was still in the Su Mansion when he received the summons, he knelt motionless in front of Su Qiming, and when he wanted to enter the palace with the palace people to resume his life, he found that his legs were already stiff, and with the support of everyone, he finally got up.

As soon as Chen Liye left, the leader of the Royal Forest Army was ordered to take away the bodies of the Su family's father and son, cut off their heads, and hang them on the city gate.

In the palace, Chen Liye knelt on the ground to resume his life.

"Aiqing, do you know that the tiger talisman Su Qiming gave you is fake?" The emperor was high up in the sky, playing with the fake tiger talisman in his hand.

Chen Liye was shocked when he heard this, and replied, "The minister doesn't know. ”

The emperor looked at Chen Liye and said with a smile: "Oh? Is it? Even Chen Xiang doesn't know? Now there is only one little girl in Su Mansion, do you think she will know the whereabouts of the tiger talisman? ”

Chen Liye raised his head suddenly, he knew that the dog thing in the Ministry of Shangshu had told the emperor about Ah Ye's absence in the mansion.

"I thought she was still young and shouldn't know." Chen Liye hurriedly replied.

"However, I think she knows, and I have sent someone to arrest her." The emperor seemed to have guessed Chen Liye's thoughts, and smiled evilly.

"You...... Don't go too far, she's still a kid. Also, you promised me before, why did you go back on your word? Chen Liye got up angrily.

"Oh? What did I promise you? Why can't I remember? However, Lord Chen yelled at me like this, did he forget our previous deal? ”

Chen Liye was speechless, so he could only lower his head and clench his fist in his sleeve angrily.

"That's right. You and the official Shangshu find the little girl, ask her to hand over the tiger talisman, and then send her to reunite with her family. ”

Chen Liye stared at that madman, eager to kill him.

"I'm tired, you stand down." The emperor yawned and narrowed his eyes, as if he was not the one who had just decided whether a person would live or die at will.

Chen Liye knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Back at Chen's mansion, Chen Liye sat alone at his desk, staring motionlessly at the things in front of him. He wanted to see what Lao Su had left, but he didn't dare to touch it, he raised his hand, and he remembered Lao Su's tragic death under his sword.

For a long time, he put things back in the dark compartment, and his heart was secretly sad.

Lao Su, after all, I am sorry for you, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you as a cow and a horse.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Daddy, open the door! Open the door, I have something to ask you! Chen Baijian banged frantically on his father's door.

Anyway, what should come will come. Chen Liye got up and slowly opened the door of the study.

"Father, do you know anything about Su Mansion? They said that it was you who personally led the troops to the besieged Su Mansion, I don't believe it, tell me quickly! Before Chen Baijian stepped into the study, he hurriedly asked a series of questions.

"It's me." Chen Liye replied with difficulty.

"Why? Why, exactly? Others can not believe General Su, don't you believe it either? How could General Su embezzle military salaries and collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? Why don't you intercede with the emperor?"

Chen Liye was silent.

"Okay, that's not easy to answer. Then let me ask you, General Su, did you kill it? Chen Baijian asked tremblingly, hoping to hear a negative answer from his father.

"Yes." Chen Liye looked at his son in front of him and felt guilty in his heart.

"There are so many people in Su Mansion who ...... Are they all dead? Chen Baijian asked in a low voice, he was afraid to hear that answer.

"Hmm."

After hearing his father's affirmative answer, Chen Baijian felt a pain in his heart and was so suffocated that he was about to be unable to breathe. He fell to the ground, screaming in pain, unable to calm down for a long time.

When Chen Liye saw him like this, his heart became even more bitter, and he could only comfort his son:

"Except for Ah Ye, she wasn't in the mansion at the time."

As soon as he heard that Ah Ye was still alive, Chen Baijian seemed to grasp the last straw, he crawled to his father, grabbed his father's clothes, and asked beggingly, "Then where is she now?" ”

"I don't know, maybe I'm hiding. The emperor is looking for her. ”

Chen Baijian looked at his father in front of him, feeling extremely strange, he couldn't believe that the ruthless person in front of him would be his father, he couldn't accept that his father was actually the culprit who killed the master's whole family.

The father and the master are friends of life and death, and they have always been good friends between the Chen and Su families. I and Ah Ye have been engaged in a baby since birth, and they have grown up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses.

Ah Ye lost his mother at a young age, General Su guarded the border all the year round, Ah Ye basically grew up in his own home, his father loved Ah Ye very much, and Chen Baijian also liked this sister very much.

When he was a little older, he worshipped General Su as his teacher to learn martial arts, while Aye worshipped his father as his teacher and learned the six arts. Before today, Chen Baijian thought that they would always be happy like this.

"Why? You tell me why? Even if you don't care about the brotherhood that you have missed for many years, have you ever thought that Ah Ye and I, we are going to be engaged next month, how do you let me face her? Chen Baijian wept bitterly and questioned his father loudly.

"I'm sorry, Bai Jian." Chen Liye couldn't say anything but apologize.

"Is power and status so important in your eyes? It's worth killing so many people in Su Mansion in exchange for promotion, right? The holy reward is still in the hall, don't you take a look? Chen Baijian said sarcastically.

Chen Liye listened to his son's ridicule, his heart was dripping blood, but he couldn't say anything.

"Father, oh no, it's time to call you Prime Minister. I don't think a good-for-any commoner like me is not worthy of being your son at all.

For the sake of your bright future, we still don't want to communicate again in the future. Today, you and I, father and son, are cut off. ”

Chen Baijian left the last sentence and slammed the door away.

Out of the mansion, Chen Baijian ran all over the places where he and Ah Ye frequented, trying to find her, but there was still no trace of Ah Ye.

Chen Baijian was very anxious, he must find her before the palace and take her out of the city, otherwise Ah Ye would be a dead end.
