Chapter 30 Inferences
"Suo Wusuo was ambushed and injured by the Yuan soldiers that year, and was rescued by a mulberry picker while fleeing, and it took three months to recover from his injuries. The two got along with each other and had feelings, and they also had children. The next year later, when the mulberry girl gave birth and died, Suo Wusuo himself returned to Huashan with the child, and originally planned to resign as the head of the sect, but because the disciples of the Huashan faction did not take over, no one could take over, and for the sake of the overall situation, he concealed this past and continued to serve as the head of the Huashan faction. ”
Tang Da said this, paused for a moment, and looked at Ye Feng: "That's what Meng Daoping said, right?"
Ye Feng nodded: "That's right, that's right." ”
Tang Dadao: "Then I have the first question, if after the death of the mulberry girl, Suo Wusuo took the child back to Huashan in order to resign from the position of head of the house and live an ordinary life with the child, why did he choose that time?"
Ye Feng didn't understand, his face was dazed.
Tang Da explained: "Suo Wusu spent three months recuperating from his injuries, and the mulberry girl was pregnant in October, so he disappeared outside for more than a year and never contacted anyone. If he wanted to live an ordinary life, he could continue to live in seclusion, why did he suddenly think about returning to the mountain to confess his sins after the death of the mulberry girl, and resign from his position as the head of the house at the expense of accepting punishment and then return to the countryside?"
Ye Feng blinked, unable to answer.
Tang Da sighed lightly: "So he must have no choice but to return to Huashan." I thought maybe he really wanted to live an ordinary life with the mulberry picker at first, so he cut off all contact and lived incognito. But the death of Cai Sang Nu hit him hard, maybe he felt that this was God's retribution for his betrayal of his master, or that Cai Sang Nu's death had other reasons, such as being killed by the imperial eagle dog that tracked him, which made him feel that it was impossible to stay incognito for a lifetime, and for himself and the safety of his children, he had to return to the Huashan faction. ”
Ye Feng was speechless, and Tang Da's words were not unreasonable.
Tang Da continued: "So he didn't want to admit his guilt when he returned to the mountain, let alone resign as the head of the sect, because only if he was the head of the Huashan faction, he could completely conceal this past incident and protect the safety of this child." It seems that the so-called Huashan faction that he was not in charge at that time and that he had to continue to serve as the head of the faction was just his excuse. ”
Ye Feng thought about it and nodded, he really couldn't find a reason to refute.
Tang Da smiled mysteriously: "Then the second question comes, how will he arrange his children?"
Ye Feng said: "Didn't he give it to his disciple Fan Shanggu as an apprentice, that is, Meng Daoping later?"
Tang Da shook his head: "Suo Wusuo's nickname back then was Ever-Changing Zhuge , and he has always been clever and unpredictable in his actions, could he handle such a crucial matter so simply? He trusted Fan Shanggu so much? Doesn't he know that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and one day someone will threaten him with the events of that year and his son?"
Tang Da looked at Ye Feng and listened attentively, and continued: "So he must have done the preventive work. I sent someone to secretly investigate in the past two days, and five days after Meng Daoping, who was still a baby, visited Fan Shanggumen, the peasant family under the mountain came to Suo Wusu with a baby in his arms, claiming to be the child's neighbor, saying that the child's parents had died of starvation due to famine, and the child had no relatives and no reason, and begged to take him in. Suo Wusuo saw that he was pitiful, so he handed it over to Fan Shanggu and became a second disciple, and this child was Yao Daochang. ”
Tang Da paused and looked at Ye Feng's expression: "However, there was no news of that neighbor after that." That year, there was indeed a peasant couple starving to death at the foot of the mountain, and the child was said to have been carried to Huashan, but the two were only five days apart from entering the mountain, who can confirm that the neighbor who mysteriously disappeared later carried up was really the son of the peasant couple?"
Ye Feng was taken aback when he heard this: "You mean, that kid 。。。。。。 ”
Tang Dazhi stared at Ye Feng's eyes, didn't speak for a long time, and then nodded and said, "I guess Meng Daoping may be the child of the peasant couple under the mountain, and Yao Daochang is likely to be Suo Wusuo's real son." The neighbor had also been arranged in advance by Suo Wusuo, all in order to hide his son's true identity. ”
Ye Feng shook his head in disbelief: "This is impossible, this is too unbelievable." ”
Tang Dadao: "Is it impossible? Do you remember what Fan Shanggu told at that time? He said that Suo Wusu was particularly partial to Meng Daoping back then, and even caused rumors from the Huashan faction to the top and bottom because of this. ”
Ye Feng recalled that it was indeed the case.
Tang Da said: "If he really wants to protect his son, how can he be so undisguised and lead everyone's spearhead to this person? So there is only one explanation, that is, Meng Daoping is just a shield, and all this is a Li Daitao stiff plan. ”
Ye Feng's mind was a little confused: "This is just your conjecture, you have no evidence that can prove it." ”
Tang Da showed a mysterious smile: "It's a pity, I have." ”
Tang Da stared at Ye Feng and said, "Do you remember when we placed Fan Shanggu's body in the cave, a jade plaque fell from Suo Wusuo's body?"
Ye Feng nodded: "That's just an ordinary jade card." ”
Tang Dadao: "Yes, it's an ordinary jade plaque, but I don't know why I thought of fighting in the valley at that time, Yao Daochang inadvertently exposed the jade plaque hanging on his chest during the fight, and I happened to catch a glimpse." My fourteenth brother Tang Yu has been fond of beautiful jade all his life, and I have the closest relationship with him, so naturally I am influenced by him to study jade very much. The two jade plaques are so similar in color and water head, they are simply mined from the same piece of jade, so when I see that jade plaque in the cave, I will feel familiar. That's why I initially started to suspect that there wasn't that simple behind it. ”
Ye Feng suddenly realized: "So you just want to borrow Yao Daochang's jade plate to see." ”
Tang Da nodded: "Not bad." So I am sure of one thing, the carving on these two jade plates is a dragon and a phoenix, the technique is very peculiar, only a few knives are made, the internal force is profound, and it must be from the hands of the same person. The two jade plates should be a pair, if it is an ordinary jade plate, how can Suo Wusuo carry it with him until he dies? And Yao Daochang's piece he said is his mother's relics, so I guess these two jade plates should be Suo Wusuo and the girl who picked mulberry love, and the carvings on them are very likely to be carved by Suo Wusuo himself, and Yao Daochang must be their son. Folk men and women are determined to exchange tokens, so the jade plate brought by Suo Wusu is engraved with a phoenix, and the relics of Yao Daochang's mother are engraved with a dragon. ”
Ye Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it: "Then does Yao Daochang know the truth, why would Meng Daoping think that he is Suo Wusuo's son?"
Tang Da sighed: "Therefore, what I am talking about below is the most unbelievable and reasonable explanation. ”
