Yang Ye said curiously: "Brother Feng, you said that Senior Uncle Hu is about this, does he know about Senior Brother in charge?"

"Needless to say. Yang Feng replied: "Then naturally I definitely don't know, otherwise why would Uncle Hu tell the senior brother in charge a month in advance that he wanted to accept a closed apprentice, and then a week ago, in the middle of the night, he secretly called you and me to the room." ”

"That's weird. Yang Ye was puzzled and said: "Brother Feng, there is one thing, I wanted to ask before, you said, since this Hu Boran is the son of Uncle Hu, why did he raise him elsewhere since he was a child, and looking at Hu Boran's appearance, he himself knows nothing about his life experience." ”

Yang Feng smiled and said confidently: "Brother Ye, you can ask the right person, let me tell you, this is because this Hu Boran was not born to Uncle Hu's original wife, but the illegitimate child born to Uncle Hu and a wild woman outside." ”

"What?" Yang Ye was shocked when he heard this, and the tea bowl in his hand was so frightened that he didn't hold it, and fell to the ground, fortunately, Yang Feng next to him seemed to have expected it, and his eyes were quick and he caught the tea bowl in mid-air.

Yang Feng looked at the tea that had been accidentally spilled, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't be excited, just listen to what Brother Wei says slowly." ”

Yang Ye touched his head embarrassedly, and said: "It's nothing to be excited, but this news is too unexpected, when I was on Kongtong Mountain, how much affection there was between Uncle Hu and his wife, this is obvious to the whole faction, and it is praised, that is, even when the late master was alive, he often boasted to us about his character as a person, you know, the senior brother in charge of the family is the master's own son, and he has never seen the master and his old man praise him in front of our disciples. ”

"What is this. Yang Feng looked disapprerovic at this time, and said: "You don't want to think about it, just with the temper of our master and his old man, if you know that his junior brother is doing that kind of thing behind his wife's back, then you can't be angry? Besides, this man is also understandable and forgiving. ”

Yang Ye still didn't believe it, and continued: "That's right, Brother Feng, even the master doesn't know these things, how do you know? Don't be someone else's rumor, in fact, Uncle Hu didn't do this, do you think, Uncle Hu personally used her body to help Uncle Hu dissolve the Nine Cold Poison." Yang Ye said here, as if he had found something, "Huh?"

"Why, you kid finally thought of it, didn't you? Yang Feng said: "Twenty-five years ago, when you and I were children, Uncle Hu was hit by the incurable poison - 'Nine Desert Cold', this poison can not be saved, unless a person is willing to use his body to take drugs for blood, in order to save the life of the poisoned." ”

Yang Ye sighed: "That's right, I heard Master and several uncles say this before, at that time, Uncle Hu's wife was in the prime of life, not yet twenty, and Uncle Hu was already a middle-aged man of nearly forty years old at that time, but Mrs. Hu still likes her hopelessly, even if Uncle Hu is poisoned by the cold, and he is about to lose all his martial arts and become a waste, he still does not abandon him, and now that I think about it, it is still enviable." ”

"Brother Ye is right. Yang Feng continued: "Mrs. Hu finally concealed from everyone, including Master, and sucked out all the 'Nine Desert Colds' in Uncle Hu's body, and then exchanged blood with Uncle Hu, and lost all her martial arts, and her body was weak and weak, which led to her being riddled with evil diseases for nearly 20 years, and finally died before she was forty years old. ”

"So. Yang Ye looked a little depressed, "People who have been poisoned by this kind of cold poison are extremely weak, and as a woman, they can't conceive a fetus at all." This point was clearly known to the doctors who treated Mrs. Hu and Kongtong back then. ”

Yang Feng said at this time: "Yes, you think, although decades have passed at this time, if Uncle Hu suddenly brings a person in his twenties back to the mountain, and then says that this is his own son, everyone will know that this kid will definitely not be Mrs. Hu's flesh and blood." Although Master, they are all gone now, Uncle Hu is already the highest-ranking person in my Kongtong faction. But don't forget, senior brother in charge, in the past few years, he has worked hard to govern the country, and the rules on the conduct of our disciples are even stricter, I think if he knows about this, he will not necessarily sell Uncle Hu's face. ”

"Brother Feng is right, the senior brother in charge has indeed become more and more majestic in the past few years. Yang Ye nodded yes, "Moreover, more is better than less." Besides, if this Hu boy really went to Kongtong in the name of an illegitimate child, even if Uncle Hu was covered with him, most of the other brothers would not like to recognize him, and this life in the mountains would not be very easy. ”

"That's right. Uncle Hu has been tossing and turning all his life, just this bit of blood and bones, he naturally wants to take care of it perfectly, it turns out that the master is all there, and he is afraid that he will be found and can only be raised in this rich hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that all these years have passed, he finally can't help it, he wants to get along with his son day and night, accept a closed disciple, and then recognize a godson in a few years, so that he can listen to his son call him father openly, and he doesn't have to worry about being gossiped about. At this moment, Yang Feng made his uncle's possible plans in the future clear.

"But, Brother Feng, how do you know these things? Could it be that Uncle Hu secretly told you?" Yang Ye asked as he picked up the cloth and wiped his hands that had been splashed with water before, and inadvertently wanted to move his legs, but he only felt a burst of pain, and when he thought of his leg that was broken by that Wudang Qin Muhai, he was angry again.

Yang Feng saw that his younger brother's face suddenly had some anger, and thought that Yang Ye was angry because he thought that his uncle was favoritism, and he told him the secret but didn't tell him, and explained: "How is it possible! Not to mention that the intersection between me and Uncle Hu will not be the slightest more than the intersection between you and him, besides, such a secret thing, Uncle Hu's character, how can I tell others." ”

"Then Brother Feng, how did you know these things?" Yang Ye asked.

"Do you still remember, the senior brother in charge asked me to check the expenses of each person in my Kongtong faction?" Yang Feng said.

"Well, yes, I remember there was such an event, and that was about a year ago at this time. Yang Ye said, but he didn't know why his brother suddenly mentioned this irrelevant matter.

Yang Feng said: "The account records of my Kongtong faction, that is, every item is recorded clearly, I had nothing to do at the time, except for checking the accounts of the past ten years according to the words of the senior brother in charge, I also had nothing to do and turned over the previous books. As a result, I saw a 'huge amount of money' from 22 years ago. It said that in order to take care of his friend's orphans, Uncle Hu took a large sum of silver to Yanqing Town, Huzhou. When I saw it, I thought it was very strange. ”

"Oh, what's so strange about this, my Kongtong faction has always been righteous and squandering money, and to friends in the martial arts, it has always been to help the poor, which is well-known in the rivers and lakes. Yang Ye said proudly.

Yang Feng said: "That's natural, Brother Ye, you can't look at things so one-sidedly, you must think more and grasp the key point." ”

Yang Feng saw that Yang Ye was still puzzled, so he explained: "You think, it is because I sent everyone like this, so Uncle Hu said that he was helping the son of the deceased, and Master naturally did not ask in detail at that time, so it was naturally easy and convenient to get money." Because of this, I can only see these few pieces of information in that ledger, and there is no specific information about who died, why he died, and so on. ”

"Well, this is also true, with Master's character, if he knew that Uncle Hu was going to take money to help the son of his old friend, he should not ask too much. Yang Ye agreed.

"Hehe, the master has a lot of opportunities, and he still doesn't know enough about his junior brother. I saw the reason and number at that time, and I knew that it was not simple, with my understanding of Uncle Hu in the past twenty or thirty years, if it was really the son of an old man, he might help take care of it, but he would definitely not take out such a large sum of money to use. Yang Feng continued: "So, after that, I couldn't figure it out, so I found an opportunity to go down to Jiangnan to solve my inner doubts, and after many twists and turns, I found the first batch of family servants more than 20 years ago, and after hearing what they said about the situation back then, I finally got this fact." ”

"Brother Feng, does the little brother have a sentence that I don't know if to ask?" Yang Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Feng, when did you have a grudge against Uncle Hu?"

"Brother Ye, why do you ask that?" Yang Feng listened to Yang Ye's words, but felt a little confused.

"Otherwise, why do you just rely on the unusualness in the ledger, so painstakingly to find the truth, listen to what you say, but the process before reaching this conclusion must be very tortuous and difficult. Don't say that you just went to great lengths to do it out of curiosity, it's hard for me to believe that. Yang Ye expressed the confusion in his heart.

"Naturally, it's not out of curiosity, I'm not idle to this point. Yang Feng smiled and explained: "Speaking of which, this should be regarded as an inevitable misunderstanding, or rather, the inevitable misunderstanding. ”

Yang Feng changed a cup of tea for his younger brother again, then looked at his injured leg, and after checking that it was okay, he said leisurely: "Brother Ye, sometimes, when you look at things, it is still a little too simple and simple. ”

"Since Master's death five years ago, the senior brother in charge has taken over the heavy responsibility of taking charge of my Kongtong portal at a young age. Senior Brother Yang has been walking on thin ice in the past five years, and he does not dare to be negligent at all, for fear that because of his lack of youth, it will affect my long-term reputation in Kongtong. When Yang Feng said this, his voice was heavy, and he was indeed thinking about the young master.
