Su Jingluo didn't want to hide this matter, he took back the deed paper from Shang Zeyi's hand, folded it and stuffed it back into his arms, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why my father-in-law Su Tianlun died early is because of Li Dongmiao's little credit. ”

Looking at Su Jingluo's gritted teeth, it was obvious that this "credit" was not a good thing, and Shang Zeyi didn't need to ask about this matter again, he had already continued.

"At that time, Baiguozhen was about to fall, although he had the help of Ma Gongshu, but it was still difficult. At this time, my stepfather had already made a name for himself in the business world, and he had never lost a fortune in the business world. Li Dongmiao took a fancy to my father-in-law's ability, so he took the initiative to find my father-in-law, agreed to pay half of Baiguozhen, and asked my father-in-law to go out of the mountain to help. ”

The father-in-law agreed to Li Dongmiao's invitation, and stayed in Baiguozhen for half a year, showing his life's means, almost painstakingly bringing Baiguozhen back to life, and then he asked Li Dongmiao for remuneration as promised, but was rejected by Li Dongmiao on the grounds that he had never had this matter. ”

"Naturally, that's not the case, my stepfather also has some connections in the business world, and he has found a lot of people to deal with. But behind Bai Guozhen is the Ma family, at that time the Li family has not yet gained momentum, only the Ma family is dominant, and no one dares to offend the Ma family in the business world, and the matter will be closed by these people after a few strokes of mud. ”

"Originally, the matter passed like this, if it only came here, my father-in-law would have worked for Li Dongmiao for half a year in vain, losing some time and money, and not hurting his life. But my father-in-law is a man who refuses to suffer, on the surface he borrows alcohol all day to kill his sorrows, but in fact he secretly has already collected the evidence and is ready to hand over the letter to the merchant yamen. ”

Hearing this, Shang Zeyi couldn't help but interject: "If you can go to the Yamen of the Shang Division, your father-in-law's remuneration can also be returned." ”

Why did Shang Zeyi say this? It was because this merchant yamen had a special status in the Shang country, and everyone in the Shang country knew about it.

The Shang State was originally based on commerce, so it paid special attention to commerce, and the Shang Yamen was directly under the jurisdiction of the Shang Emperor and had jurisdiction over all kinds of commercial disputes in the Shang State. Because he did things directly under the nose of Emperor Shang, no one dared to accept bribes and violate discipline, so he was known for his fairness.

As long as you enter the Yamen of the Ministry of Commerce, no matter what your identity is, even if it is the king of heaven, you have to pout your ass and act according to the laws of business, if Su Tianlun has evidence in his hand, even if Bai Guozhen is behind the Ma family, it will not help.

But the result was that Su Tianlun did not get his own reward, but lost his life, which is obvious that something else happened in the middle.

"My father-in-law didn't even get into the Shang Si Yamen, and on the eve of his preparation to deliver the papers, an assassin came to the courtyard where we lived. At that time, my stepfather had a chance to escape, but he used himself as bait to lure away the assassins for the sake of me and Xiao Jia. ”

"By the time we found him again the next day, he was hanging from a tree with a crooked neck outside the city, and there was not a single part of his body intact, apparently tortured before he died. ”

Speaking of this, Su Jingluo clenched his fists, as if he had returned to the time when he was young, his father-in-law led away the group of sword-wielding assassins for them, and when he saw his father-in-law again, he had become a cold corpse hanging on a tree with a crooked neck, and he could only clench his fists in vain as now.

It has been fifteen years since then, and no one can avoid the erosion of time, Su Jingluo's memory of Su Tianlun has blurred a lot, and he can't even recall his appearance. But the image of his father's back when he turned to lead the assassin away was always engraved in his mind, as if he had been carved with a knife, and he remembered even the folds in his clothes.

Father's love is like a mountain, even if it is not his biological father and son, this love is still sincere and heavy, so that Su Jingluo will never forget.

After relieving for a moment, Su Jingluo let go of his fist, exhaled the indignation in his chest and continued.

"The yamen has also been here for this matter, and no one can find the murderer, they all say that the thieves did it, but our brothers and sisters know that it is not the truth, and we have always known who the murderer is. ”

"When we returned home that day, we saw that the house was turned into a mess, and the evidence collected by our stepfather disappeared without a trace, and the connection between them was so obvious, you say, what kind of enmity do I have with Li Dongmiao?" asked Su Jingluo rhetorically.

Inadvertently, his eyes were covered with frost, and Shang Zeyi knew that this was Su Jingluo trapped in emotions, not aimed at himself, but there was still something unpleasant.

"The revenge of killing your father is not shared, why haven't you avenged it all these years. If you take revenge on him by your means, Li Dongmiao should not be able to parry. ”

This is what Shang Zeyi doesn't understand, his friends can know best how Shang Zeyi is, although he is not good at martial arts, but he is not inferior to anyone in terms of strategy and calculation, he has also seen Li Dongmiao's virtue today, it is simply a fool among fools, if a friend wants revenge, a casual trip can make Li Dongmiao recover.

Su Jingluo looked out of the carriage, there was a young girl driving outside, he sighed: "The dead are gone, the important thing is still the living." Although Li Dongmiao is nothing, the Ma family has too deep roots, if I move Li Dongmiao, they will definitely take action, for the sake of Xiao Jia's safety, I was not prepared to provoke before. ”

I wasn't going to provoke before, but now it's different.

Shang Zeyi heard the voiceover, and he asked: "I wasn't going to move before, but now I have become your killing token, and I have the experience of the Li family, the Ma family has given up Baiguozhen openly and secretly, and without the protective banner of the Ma family, I want to come to this half of Baiguozhen's share is a bargaining chip that Li Dongmiao wants to reconcile with you." ”

"This Li Dongmiao is really an idiot. Shang Zeyi scolded indignantly, "The revenge of killing my father can be solved with half of Baiguozhen." ”

"What are you going to do?" Shang Zeyi asked more at the end of the day.

In fact, he could guess Su Jingluo's answer.

He can empathize with this kind of thing, think about it from another angle, if this kind of thing is changed to Shang Zeyi, if someone kills Yao Wang Jiang, he must do the same.

"Naturally, he killed his whole family. ”

Sure enough, it didn't exceed his expectations, Su Jingluo said calmly and indifferently.

Shang Zeyi patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't let him go." ”

He doesn't have the habit of persuading people to be kind, he can't do that kind of hypocrisy, the children of the rivers and lakes are already happy to take revenge, and the murderer is killed, since he used the knife first, and everyone knows the consequences, he is not qualified to let people stop and beg people to let them go.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to Su Tianlun, who died in vain, and Su Jingluo and Shu Xiaojia, who had endured so many years of hardship.
