It has been five days since I left the dock and returned to the Tongfu Inn.

In the past five days, Xue Yihan lived in a simple place, and a lot of news was obtained through Lu Fei and the disciples of the Beggar Gang.

In the past few days, most of the beggars have mobilized, some of them are still inquiring about all kinds of news, and some of them have been ordered to find someone, and there is only a portrait of this person, and they have to cover their ears and eyes, so there is no news at all.

In five days, the water in Suzhou City has long subsided, and the streets have returned to their original neat and clean atmosphere, but most people can feel the oppressive atmosphere of Suzhou City.

Not to mention the houses and victims who were washed away by the heavy rain, they were killed in the streets before the rain, and the scene of throwing corpses on the streets was enough for many people to fear for a long time, not to mention, in the past five days, there were dozens of fights in the four cities of Suzhou, and the victims were countless, which added a little worry to the already depressed residents of Suzhou City.

Anyway, the prestige Su Mansion in Suzhou City is going to hold the 70th birthday of Mrs. Su in the past two days, which is a happy event, and it also adds a bit of color to the Suzhou Mansion in the wind and rain.

On that day, the Su family will open warehouses and put beams in many places in the city to relieve the people in the flood, and some people have heard that the government has sent people to protect the safety in the past two days.

There is another thing that has been spreading in the past few days, and the limelight is better than the birthday banquet of the old lady Su, that is, Sun Chenggui, the owner of Taihu Lake Water Village, abandoned the secret and surrendered to the court, and became the city patrol envoy of Suzhou Mansion.

When the day was surrendered, the government also put on a grand ceremony, and it is still talked about by the onlookers.

Xue Yihan heard about these things from Lu Fei and Bai Yu, Bai Yu even went to visit the appeasement ceremony in person, and when he came back, he wrote a big book, saying how good the scene was, how good it was, how good it was, the guests and hosts were happy, and the neighbors praised it.

------

Xue Yihan's wound had healed two days ago, and at the insistence of Bai Yu and Lu Fei, he lay on the bed for two more days, it was really uncomfortable, and Xue Yihan got up and came to the street before Bai Yu and Lu Fei came back on this day.

The bustling flow of people, the sound of hurried footsteps, the shouting of farmers carrying flat burdens, the angry roar of horsemen driving carriages, and groups of women accompanied by domestic servants strolling around all kinds of rouge gouache shops, and even people in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords.

From time to time, you can also see a few errand workers dressed in government costumes maintaining order on the streets.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, Xue Yihan rarely saw such good weather, stretched his waist for a long time, and walked towards Juxianzhuang Restaurant.

He was in a good mood today, humming a little song while walking, shaking his head and shaking his head was cute.

While walking, he suddenly felt that someone had patted him on the shoulder, and he turned around vigilantly, and a hideous and terrifying face suddenly appeared in front of him, Xue Yihan was shocked, and he was about to wave his fist to hit him.

The man saw that Xue Yihan wanted to hit himself, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Xue, it's me and it's me. ”

Xue Yihan heard that the voice was a little familiar, and the fist raised in the air was retracted, and he looked at the person in front of him, who was obviously a woman under the mask, wearing a goose yellow dress and setting off her delicate figure, which was very eye-catching in this bustling flow of people.

"You are?"

"It's me, Engong. ”

When the woman saw this, she thought that Xue Yihan didn't remember, so she hurriedly lifted her mask to reveal a delicate and beautiful face, stuck out her tongue at Xue Yihan, and smiled playfully.

The woman's appearance flashed in Xue Yihan's mind, and he remembered who this woman was, wasn't it the woman Yan Le he saved in the Guanyin Temple?

"It's Miss Yan, you can't be so joking, now everyone in Suzhou City is in danger, and if my punch continues, it won't be broken. Xue Yihan looked at Yan Le and said seriously.

Yan Le pursed his lips, hummed and chirped for a long time, then put on a mask again, and brought a flower-faced mask to Xue Yihan, Xue Yihan instinctively wanted to take it off, only to hear Yan Le whisper: "Brother Xue, take it, I'm not here to play, it's my father who wants to discuss with Brother Xue about something." ”

When Xue Yihan heard that Yan Le's father wanted to find him, although he had doubts in his heart, he also nodded, and followed Yan Le to turn left and right into a small alley.

Not long after, the two came to a private house, there were nearly ten guards standing around the house, vigilantly looking at the surrounding situation, seeing that the two came over, one of them came to check their identity, and when they saw that Yan Le was coming, they hurriedly pushed open the door and let the two in.

And enter the gate, you can see a flower pond everywhere, red, orange, yellow and green flowers compete with each other, but it is incompatible with the courtyard, except for the flower pond in the courtyard, all the cement floor, frankly it is the ground of water and mud.

On the muddy ground stood an old man, looking intently at the collapsed house not far away.

Xue Yihan actually accompanied Yan Le to the house that collapsed a few days ago, although she didn't know what her intentions were, but she thought that Yan Le's father would not be untargeted.

Xue Yihan stepped forward, clasped his fists at the man and said, "Senior Xue Yihan, meet Senior Yan." ”

"Xue Yihan?" The old man surnamed Yan was slightly surprised, and asked uncertainly: "Aren't you Su Chen?"

Xue Yihan smiled and looked at the old man who turned around, and said with some embarrassment: "Su Chen is the name when I was a child, Xue Yihan is the name after rebirth, and the younger generation prefers others to call me Xue Yihan." ”

The old man surnamed Yan nodded, with a hint of approval on his face, and said comfortingly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, I know a little bit about your affairs, it seems that there are still irreconcilable contradictions between your father and son." ”

Xue Yihan was a little puzzled, why did he say that there would be irreconcilable contradictions between himself and his father?

What does that mean? Do you want to remind yourself of something?

Xue Yihan bowed down again and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by what the seniors said this?"

"Nothing, nothing?" the old man surnamed Yan shook his head, and then took a step towards the dilapidated house, beckoning Xue Yihan to follow as he went.

Although Xue Yihan had a lot of puzzles, he followed him step by step, and when he arrived at the badly damaged courtyard, he didn't need to ask more, and saw that there was a pillar with heavy knife marks.

Xue Yihan's heart was slightly shocked, and he couldn't help but think of the scene of Tie Ying, if it was not bad as expected, Tie Ying should have lived here more than ten days ago, but why were there knife marks?

Xue Yihan rummaged back and forth in the ruins, although most of them were flooded by the rain and badly damaged, but he could still see some traces of whips and swords, although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was already overturned.

Who is fighting here, and who is destroying this courtyard, and who are the corpses that are flowing away with the water?

All this was like a fog, covering Xue Yihan's eyes and blinding his heart.

He walked slowly through the ruined courtyard, his brow furrowed deeply, and from time to time he crouched down to look at the traces of the fight.

Tie Ying looked at him and frowned, knowing that he saw a lot of fallacies in it, so he coughed lightly and reminded: "Tie Ying is an old veteran who has been famous for a long time, and he made it pleasing and frightening to the eye with an iron whip alone, and he entered the list of ten people with an iron whip alone. ”

Xue Yihan listened to the words of the old man surnamed Yan, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked puzzledly: "The seniors must have asked the juniors to come here not only to let the juniors see these traces of fighting, but also the matter of Tieying is not untargeted, right?"

The old man surnamed Yan smiled lightly, nodded and exclaimed: "You kid is quite keen, I won't beat around the bend, to tell you the truth, this is where Tie Ying stays." ”

Xue Yihan was slightly stunned, didn't Tie Ying live in Juxianzhuang Restaurant now? These fights had something to do with him? Who were those dead people?

Then he looked at the old man surnamed Yan, and his face showed confusion.

The old man surnamed Yan sighed, and said a little helplessly: "I also know that Tie Ying lives in Juxian Village now, but he lived here before the heavy rain came, and it was the residence arranged by Su Yifei personally, but just yesterday he suddenly came to me and asked me to send someone here to investigate the situation, and I couldn't refuse, so I took my men down to check it, and I found out about it without thinking." ”

"Oh?"

Xue Yihan was even more puzzled, and asked very suspiciously: "Since my father invited you to check, why did you tell me?"

The old man surnamed Yan walked back and forth, as if he was worried about something and it was difficult to speak, Xue Yihan did not urge, just waited quietly for him to speak, after all, he couldn't invite him to see these things for no reason.

Yan Le's face was a little worried, seeing that his father still hadn't made up his mind, he whispered a few words in his father's ear, thinking that he was moved by his daughter's words, the old man surnamed Yan seemed to have made up his mind, and beckoned Xue Yihan to come to the courtyard with a flower pond.

found a clean place and sat opposite each other, while Yan Le stood behind his father with a solemn face.

I only heard the old man surnamed Yan sigh, hugged his fist at Xue Yihan and said, "I know you have doubts, don't say it, you are full of doubts." ”

With another sigh, he continued: "Your father came to me yesterday, although he didn't say what it was, but I have been mixed with the rivers and lakes for decades, and I still have some insight in my heart, tomorrow will be your grandfather's seventieth birthday, right?"

"Yes, it's set for tomorrow. Xue Yihan nodded yes, and also put forward his own thoughts, "Is this related to my grandfather's birthday?"

The old man surnamed Yan nodded, and said slowly: "You are the little girl's life-saving benefactor, and also the life-saving benefactor of my Yan family, I dare not hide this matter from you, your father doesn't know what means to let Tie Ying do things for him, and wants to take away the rights of the Su family after your grandfather's birthday, and I and many people in the rivers and lakes are foreign aid that he has come to help." ”

These words are no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and looking at the person in front of him, he asked in shock: "How is this possible? Hasn't my father always controlled the Su family? Why do you have to embarrass grandpa." ”

The old man surnamed Yan sighed, looked at Xue Yihan like an idiot, and said in shock: "The Su family has always belonged to the old lady Su, and the secret power of the Su family has always only listened to the orders of the old lady, but now I am afraid that the old lady Su has other thoughts, it may be that it touches Su Yifei's interests, or it may be that he wants to change the heir, and the door in this is not something that I, an outsider, can talk about." ”

"But this..."

Xue Yihan's forehead was already sweating, looking at the ruins not far away, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he asked, "Even so, why did Tie Ying help my father?"

"This?"

The old man surnamed Yan hesitated for a moment, and then sighed for a long time, as if reminiscing and regretful, and said: "Although it is difficult to find out who Tie Ying fought with here, it was a sensation to pretend to be a secret twenty years ago. ”

The old man surnamed Yan told the story eloquently, told the story of Su Wuxian and Tie Ying and other men, and told the deeds of Old Lady Su and Tie Ying again, and finally said: "As long as Su Wuxian is still alive, with Tie Ying's infatuation, he will definitely help." ”
