It's night.

Shiyao Village, the Han family's mansion.

Han Mingda accompanied his father and mother to eat dinner, went to the small living room, and then drank tea and chatted with his old father, talking about Linghupo in the afternoon today.

"I said Da'er, this Po baby cub has grown up since he was a child, and his father is also a loyal and honest hunter, although in the past two years, Po baby cub has been calculated, infected with the vice of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and losing all his family property, but to say that he collaborated with bandits, colluded with horse bandits, and robbed the military salary of General Ma Yi's mansion, he is not so bold." Han San took a sip of tea and said.

"Who said it wasn't, I was confused at first, when I was a child, he liked to follow my ass, but people will change, just like he suddenly became infected with eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, it is easier to mess with bandits, not to mention that his family is so poor that it dingdong."

"Ten taels of ingots were found from him, and it was true, and he was sure that it was picked up when he was hunting through the valley, and whatever you want, he said so. But who can believe this report, can you believe it, Dad, can your old man believe it? ”

Han Mingda was also a little helpless.

He originally thought that there would be a big breakthrough in this robbery, but he didn't expect that it would still be ironclad.

Eagle's Beak Mountain horse bandits, who dares to encircle and suppress them easily?

The former general Ma Yi, including the Taishou of the state capital, raised troops to encircle and suppress twice before and after, and those who lost troops and generals were declared defeated.

Now, the crime committed by Eagle's Beak Mountain is even more blatant, and leaving the mark of 'eagle' when leaving is completely provocative.

"Yes, no one believes this statement, what are the bandits doing in the valley? Even if it was passing by, the military pay was sealed in a wooden box, and it was unlikely that a single ingot would fall down, and Po Wa would pick it up. ”

Han San also agreed with Xiao'er's statement, and was sighing with regret.

The housekeeper came in quietly and said in a low voice: "Master, the little daughter-in-law of the Linghu family is kneeling at the door of the mansion and begging to see you, master." ”

"The little daughter-in-law of the Linghu family? Only... Is that the child daughter-in-law Xiuniang? ”

"Yes, sir."

Han San glanced at his youngest son, and when he saw that he was silent, he waved his hand and said:

"Tell Xiuniang, don't kneel at the door of the house, it's useless to kneel to death, who calls Po Wacub not to fight, it used to be a gamble, but now it is a bandit, and it should be like this."

"Understood, sir!"

The butler withdrew.

"This makes the fox family unfortunate, there is such a bad son, how loyal and honest the fox and the old couple are, they just don't look away." Han San sighed.

"Dad, don't take this matter to heart, you don't know people and faces, you don't know your heart, Ling Hupo was very smart and clever when he was a child, like a fart, he likes to play with people who are older than him, but he didn't expect to grow up but fall into depravity, who would have thought of this." Han Mingda comforted.

He understands that his father is a bodhisattva and attaches great importance to the local feelings.

But where in the world are there so many people, it is worth sympathy.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

You should care more about yourself.

"Master, that Xiuniang took out a piece of jade pendant and said that it was for the second young master to see." The butler came in again, holding a crystal clear jade pendant in his hand.

"Show me? Bring. ”

Han Mingda was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand in confusion, and took the jade pendant from the butler's hand to watch.

This is a jade pendant made of mutton fat jade, inlaid with gold in the middle, engraved with the small character 'Qin State Mansion', and its reverse is a 'loyalty' character.

Qin Guogong, the founding father of the Final Jin Dynasty, was the great Sima Guo Xiang himself, and Zhong should refer to Guo Xiang's eldest son, Guo Zhong, the former hussar general.

But Guo Zhong was ambushed by the Turks outside Yanmen Pass five years ago, and his whole family was killed, and only one little girl disappeared through the net.

Could it be that this one named Xiuniang is Guo Zhong's missing little girl?

"She... Where is she? Han Mingda was shocked.

"You're talking about that child daughter-in-law, Xiuniang, who is still kneeling at the door of the mansion."

"Why are you still kneeling, hurry... Help her in. Han Mingda scolded loudly.

"Yes, Second Young Master." The housekeeper was frightened by Han Mingda's expression, and hurriedly withdrew to make arrangements.

"Dar, what's going on?" Han San was confused and hurriedly asked.

"Ouch Dad, I can't say this clearly, but I'll understand it in a while." Han Mingda was surprised and delighted, the sweat on his head came out urgently, and he hurriedly took a sip of tea and suppressed the shock.

After a while, Xiuniang was led into the hall by the housekeeper.

"The little girl Xiuniang meets Master Lizheng, Han Gongzi." Xiuniang knelt down on her knees, stretched out her hands and kowtowed, and made a big salute.

"Oh, hurry up, Miss Xiu'er." Han San spoke.

"Butler, show Miss Xiu'er a seat." Han Mingda was even more polite.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, waved his hand hurriedly, and a servant brought a round brocade stool and asked Xiuniang to sit down.

"Miss Xiu'er, this official asks you, do you have to answer truthfully, don't make mistakes, understand?" Han Mingda cleared his throat and said very seriously.

"The little girl understands, please ask." Xiuniang sat on the stool and replied calmly.

"This jade pendant is... Yours? Han Mingda picked up the jade pendant and gestured.

"It's the little girl's family, to be precise, it's the relic of my father, General Guo Zhong." "Guo Xiang, the Duke of Qin, is yours..."

"Little grandfather!"

"What about Guo Rui?"

"Little Girl Sixth Uncle!"

“？？？”

Han Mingda asked a series of questions about the Guo family in a row, and Xiuniang answered fluently.

It seems that the girl in front of her is the little girl Guo Zhong who disappeared five years ago, and there is basically no doubt.

"May I ask Miss Guo, five years ago, how did you escape from the Turks?" Han Mingda's tone changed, and he began to call Xiuniang Miss Guo.

"When I was twelve years old, the whole family was ready to go back to Chang'an for the New Year, leaving Yanmen Pass to go to the official post of Taiyuan Mansion, a valley of about 50 miles, encountered hundreds of Turkic ambushes, my two brothers and mother, were shot by crossbows, although my father was seriously injured, but still took me to break out, fled into the mountains and forests, dozens of guards in the back cover, did not follow, our father and daughter in the mountains and forests for two days, at this time met Linghu Daddy hunting, my father was dying, he entrusted me to die."

Speaking of this, Xiuniang couldn't cry anymore, "Linghu Daddy asked me to put on animal skins, carry an arrow bag on my back, cut off my hair with a hunting knife, and graffiti my face with hare blood, becoming a tomboy, so I escaped the search of Turkic plainclothes, and then took me out of the mountains and forests, and went around the mountain road for more than two days before returning to my home in Shiyao Village. ”

"Did the general tell you anything strange about this ambush, such as suspicion of who might be a leaker? Later, why didn't you contact the Guo family? Han Mingda's question became acute.

Five years ago, Han Mingda was a trainee catcher in General Ma Yi's mansion, and General Ma Yi at that time was Guo Wei, Guo Zhong's second half-brother.

Han Mingda participated in the investigation of this murder case and knows many details well, and there are still many unsolved mysteries.
