The sudden accident shocked everyone.

Including Chen Anning, Xu Zan and Wen Huan.

Xu Zan was the first to react.

Squatting down to the young man uncertainly, he looked at the young man, and then at the old couple, and after a long time, he muttered, "It is indeed somewhat similar." ”

Having said that, he asked a few questions to each of the young and old couples. After making sure that everything was right, and that they were the relatives they had been looking for each other, Xu Zan stood up and looked at Chen Anning inquiringly: What should I do next?

Chen Anning glanced at the young man who had not become excited and happy because he had found his father, and then at the old couple who were completely in a lost and regained mood, and after thinking for a while, he motioned for him to help the young man aside.

The old couple immediately cried and screamed.

Chen Anning got up, slowly paced to them, walked around the two of them twice, and then stopped beside the two, "Father and son repay debts, I don't know if you two have heard of it?" ”

The old couple was silent for a moment, and then immediately shouted again.

The old man shouted: "One person does things and one person is the one we killed, what are you doing at us!" ”

The old woman cried: "Girl, what to do with us, we all admit it, please let him go." ”

Chen Anning sneered unmoved: "When you killed those people, why didn't you think that they also have a father, and their fathers and mothers will be just like you!" ”

The old woman said, "We know it's wrong, please let him go." ”

The old man suddenly exclaimed, "He is not our son, we admit that we are wrong!" ”

The old woman reacted and shouted: "Yes, he is not our son, our son is already dead!" Where did the impostor come from, who dared to pretend to be our son and play our words, phew! Shameless dog thing! ”

Chen Anning didn't argue with them, squatted down, and waited until the two of them were almost clear, and then said slowly: "After finding my son, just care about being happy." Have you forgotten what he said before he recognized you? ”

"He originally planned to go to Beijing to take the exam, but it was delayed because of you."

"What did you do with him?"

"Knock him unconscious and throw him into a pit. If it weren't for the fact that I recognized the bones in the big pellet bone soup as human bones, it wouldn't be long before he would be on the table, right? ”

"Entering Beijing to take the exam, that is an opportunity that can only be obtained by thousands of troops. I wonder how much effort he put into this opportunity? ”

"By the way, the reason why he worked so hard is to find you after he gets ahead."

"It's a pity, although he has no worries about his life now and has found you, but for the rest of his life, he will no longer be able to participate in the scientific examination because of his father like you, and he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life because of you!"

The old couple wept bitterly: "Don't say it, please don't say it again......"

"I am willing to atone for their sins for the rest of my life!" The young man who was pulled aside by Xu Zan suddenly knelt down, his face was still pale, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Whether he wants it or not.

This is his mom and dad.

It is very likely that they were forced to commit such a heinous crime.

And that compulsion must be related to his loss.

The great husband has done something and he has not done something, and he cannot deny them because they have committed a great sin.

"Don't, we take responsibility for our own mistakes." The old couple immediately said, "We killed people, and they have nothing to do with you, and we don't need you to bear any sin for us, and I don't need you to punish me......"

Seeing that they were about to fall into endless prevarication again, Chen Anning calmly interrupted them, "It's not impossible to want him not to be implicated." ”

The old couple immediately asked, "What way?" As long as we can exonerate him, we are willing to do whatever we are asked to do. ”

Chen Anning raised his eyebrows and pretended not to believe it: "Really? ”

The old woman immediately nodded, "Seriously." Even if it costs my life, I will give it to you immediately. ”

"Okay." Signaling Xu Zan to bring down the diners and the people who came out of the pit, and asked the secret guard to help the old couple up from the ground and kneel down, and let the young man stand behind them, Chen Anning said lightly, "If you want him not to be implicated by you, the only way is to atone for his sins." ”

After the old couple's faces changed slightly, their faces quickly became firm.

Chen Anning deliberately paused for a moment before saying, "Tell me, where are you from, what did you do before, and why did you open an inn here?" ”

The old man was one step ahead of the old woman and answered honestly.

They are from Nanping County.

When he took his child to Jinling County to join a distant relative, he was separated from the child at the ferry. After searching for the child in Jinling County and the surrounding counties to no avail, the two opened a teahouse here. According to the two men, their plan was to open a teahouse while asking passing merchants about the whereabouts of the child.

As for why I chose this place, it is because although there is no village in front of the village and no shops in the back, there are many merchants who come and go.

"Since you opened a teahouse, why did you start an inn business again?" Chen Anning asked.

The old man was silent for a while before he spoke again: "It's because of one person." ”

Chen Anning asked, "Who?" ”

The old woman was more concerned about the youth, so she didn't think about it, so she replied: "A bandit leader named Fan Dahai. He paid for the inn and asked us to help him make money, and he helped us find our son. We also knew that pie would not fall from the sky, but we wanted to find our son so much that we agreed to it. We thought that as long as we honestly made money for him, he would help us find our son, but who knows, after the inn was built, he asked us to earn at least three hundred taels of silver every month before he would help us find our son. ”

"Three hundred taels of silver, even if you kill us, you won't be able to earn it back."

"If you don't make so much money, he won't help us find our son, and he will beat us. We couldn't stand it anymore and had to find a way to make money. ”

"At the beginning, we just wanted to steal some top-notch merchant silver, but after stealing a few times, after the news spread, there were fewer and fewer people who came to settle down to eat and sharpen. There is no way, we can only kill people with our swords, so that there will be no more rumors of it. But the rumor was gone, and disposing of the bones of those people became a problem again. If you throw it on the hillside behind you, you will inevitably be discovered. ”

"After thinking about it, I can only remove the meat and throw the bones out, so that only the bones, even if they are seen, it is difficult to recognize them as human bones. As for the meat, it was originally intended to be thrown away, but later it looked like it was no different from the pork and mutton that I bought, so I ......"

Seeing that there was no difference with pork and mutton, they simply chopped it and wrapped dumplings and buns together.

Not only did no one find out, but it seems to be more popular.

So the two of them, who were encouraged, did not even throw away their bones.

Business is slowly picking up.

After three hundred taels of silver were handed over to Fan Dahai on time every month, Fan Dahai also kept his promise to find a child for them.

But after searching for so many years, I found nothing.

It's not that the old couple didn't suspect that Fan Dahai didn't look for it carefully, but Fan Dahai pinched their murderous handle, so that they didn't dare to resist.

Until the recent incident.

Until youth appeared.

"Fan Dahai ......" The old couple has figured out the causes and consequences of doing business here, and new problems have arisen. After Chen Anning whispered Fan Dahai's name twice, his eyes fell on Zhu Cen again. But this time, without waiting for her to ask, Zhu Cen took the initiative to say, "I know this Fan Dahai, he is a bandit leader, and he has been active in Huainan Province and Jiangnan East and West Roads. Whether it is Huainan Province, Jiangnan East Province, or West Road, they have pursued and encircled him many times, but each time they have returned in vain. ”

Chen Anning asked, "Is it a gang of bandits?" ”

Zhu Cen nodded, "The gang is not small. ”

Chen Anning looked at the old couple again, "How do you give the silver taels to Fan Dahai every time?" ”

The old woman replied, "He came to pick it up or asked someone to come and pick it up." ”

Chen Anning asked again: "So, you have never been to his den?" ”

When the old couple hesitated, Chen Anning said slowly: "This is not easy to do, everything must be evidenced." You said that he asked you to open the inn, what is the evidence? ”

The old couple was in a hurry.

After the two of you quarreled with me for a while, the old man said, "In Zhang Gongshan!" I've heard the two boys who came to withdraw the money mention it. But where Zhanggongshan is, I don't know. ”

The old woman was afraid that Chen Anning would not believe it, so she added: "Fan Dahai's accent seems to be from Guangling County. ”

Guangling County, Zhanggong Mountain.

Chen Anning looked at Zhu Cen, and Zhu Cen hurriedly said, "I know where Zhang Gongshan is, I'll take you there!" ”

He must atone for his sins!
