Chapter 217: Chen Ping

I flew up and lit the acupuncture points of this Ding and made him fall asleep, and then the three of us walked into the attic, where the lights and candles were bright, and an old man was sitting on the desk holding an ancient book and looking intently, not feeling our presence at all.

"Master Liu Ping, right?" I shouted to the old man.

The old man put down the ancient book in his hand and looked at the three of us.

"A few old people who came to the cold house late at night haven't gone out to welcome them, I don't know what happened to them? The old man spoke clearly and said to the three of us very politely.

"Doesn't seem like your name is that. Li Meinu on the side said excitedly.

"Why did this girl say this, everyone knows that Lao Yu is called Liu Ping in Qixia Town for decades, why does the girl say that the old man is not called this name?" said the old man.

"Hmph, you still know this. After Li Meinu finished speaking, she took out something from her body and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the object handed over by Li Meinu, this is a green jade pendant, the old man looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and his face instantly became extremely surprised.

"You still know each other, right?" asked Li Meinu sharply.

"It's ??? This?? This is the personal jade pendant of the King of the Great Zhou??? Where did you get it, and who are you?" asked the old man in surprise, his face extremely frightened.

"Hmph, you can recognize this jade pendant, you should be called Chen Ping. Li Meinu said.

"Alas??? It's been thirty-one years???? The old man knows that there will be this day, there will be this day. Yes, the old man's real name is Chen Ping, what is your relationship with the King of the Great Zhou, how did you get this jade pendant?" the old man suddenly seemed a little calm, and asked Li Meinu.

"My name is Zhang Yuting, and King Zhou is my father. Li Meinu said.

"The king of the Great Zhou has a queen???? Heaven will not die my Great Zhou, I will not die my Great Zhou???? The old decay can die with peace of mind, and the rest of the mind can die. The old man said happily when he heard that Li Meinu was Zhang Shicheng's daughter.

I'm confused about this, this old man betrayed Zhang Shicheng back then, why are you so happy to hear that Lao Zhang has descendants. What's going on?

"Hmph. Pretend, why did you betray my fourth uncle and my father back then?" asked Li Meinu.

The old man slowly got up and bowed down to Li Meinu, and two lines of tears welled up in his eyes. This move really caught Li Meinu off guard.

"The old man is a sinner. Are you a sinner????? Damn it, old man. I'm damned. The old man kowtowed on the ground and wept bitterly.

Looking at this old man like this, I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, and an intuition tells me that this old man must have been unwilling to betray the King of Great Zhou back then, otherwise it would not be like this.

"Who are you?" suddenly rushed in from outside the door, a young boy. As soon as he entered the door, the young man rushed towards Chen Ping.

Liu Yifan next to him stretched out his hand and grabbed the young man, the young man didn't know martial arts, and he had no power to resist in Liu Yifan's hands.

"Who are you, and what are you going to do to my father-in-law?" cried out the boy as he struggled.

"Lin'er, what are you doing here, don't you want you to read a book?" Chen Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, scolded the young man.

"Release my father-in-law, let him go. The boy shouted desperately.

In this commotion, all the family members in the Chen Mansion rushed over, there were about seven or eight family members, all with weapons in their hands, and there was a trace of murder in their eyes, but no one rushed in.

"What are you all doing? You all go down, it's none of your business here, today these are the old man's distinguished guests, Shizhu, you come in, lock the young master in the study, and don't let him out. Chen Ping on the ground did not get up, and calmly said to the family outside the door.

At this time, a man with a rough figure walked in outside the door, which should be the stone pillar.

"Sir. The man walked up to Chen Ping and shouted respectfully.

"Listen to me, there's nothing going on here, you can take it away quickly, no matter what happens here, you don't care, and no one is allowed to come over, Shizhu, do you know?" Chen Ping shouted to the man.

"Got it, sir. Shi Zhu answered and walked towards Liu Yifan.

"Young master, come with me. Shizhu said to the young man.

Liu Yifan let go of the young man.

As soon as the young man broke away, he rushed towards Chen Ping, thinking about it, and Chen Ping on the ground helped him up.

"Father, get up, get up. The young man said anxiously with tears in his eyes.

"Lin'er, be good, go out with your Uncle Shizhu. Chen Ping said to the young man with a calm face.

Seeing that Chen Ping couldn't get up, the young man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Yuting.

"This good sister, let go of your father-in-law, my father-in-law is a good person, if it weren't for my father-in-law, I would have starved to death on the streets, you should let my father-in-law go." The boy realized that the woman in front of him was in great danger to his father-in-law, and his forehead smacked on the floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let my master go. Seeing this, the stone pillar on the side also knelt on the ground, and then several family members outside the door also knelt on the ground one after another, pleading for Chen Ping.

"My lord is a good man, if it weren't for our lord, our family would have been ruined, a few well-wishers, don't embarrass the lord. Shi Zhu said earnestly.

It seems that this Chen Ping usually did a lot of good things, maybe he betrayed the king of the Great Zhou back then, and he felt guilty afterwards, so he did this good deed, but with his current nature, he shouldn't be a traitor who betrayed, could it be that there was something back then?

"You all let me out, don't you listen to me?" Chen Ping on the side yelled at Shi Zhu and the others.

"Old man???"

"Shizhu, take it away, young master, you all let me go. Chen Ping yelled a little angrily.

Only then did the stone pillar get up from the ground and silently walk to the young man, who pulled him up from the ground.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving. The boy yelled as he struggled.

"Lin'er. Father-in-law will be fine, be good, go with Uncle Shizhu. Chen Ping said.

The young man dragged the stone pillar out of the attic, and then the family followed suit.

Liu Yifan's attic door was closed.

"Okay, you can tell me about the past. Li Yuting's tone also became a little more tactful, and the scene just now made Li Yuting a little soft-hearted.

"Get up and speak. I said to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping didn't get up.

"Get up and speak. Li Yuting said.

The old man slowly got up and stood aside.

"Lao Yu and the King of the Great Zhou are both from Dongtai Baijuchang, when the King of Zhou started the incident with the King of Zhou to fight in the Quartet, and later the King of Zhou established the country, the old man was reappointed by the King of Zhou as the governor of the army, and the old man followed the King of Zhou for more than ten years. Loyal to the King of Zhou. Don't want to?? What I don't want is that in the twenty-third year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang has been fighting with the main bus, and that year Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to catch my mother and my wife and children, and secretly threatened the old man. To be old and decayed beside King Zhou. The old man didn't agree at first. But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang killed my wife???" Speaking of this, the old man's face was also full of tears.

The people in the room listened quietly, and the dusty past of decades also left a deep mark in the old man's heart. The old man may have never told anyone, but now there is finally a place to say it.

"My son was only one year old at the time, I couldn't bear to let my child and mother die, I had no choice, I had to agree to Zhu Yuanzhang. The old man said.

"But because of you, my fourth uncle died tragically, my father Wang Cheng was broken, how many people here are ruined, and how many people have lost their children and parents like you, do you know?" Li Yuting said with some grief and indignation.

"Old decay knows?? The old man knows??? The old man is guilty, ashamed of the king of the Great Zhou, and ashamed of the people of the Great Zhou, so the old man has been surviving in the world for decades, and he is doing good deeds, which is far from making up for my crimes, by the way, the death of your father back then was not forced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang as it is said now, but your father died by himself. Chen Ping said.

"Hmph, didn't Zhu Yuanzhang force his father to death for the treasure map?" Li Yuting said.

"The treasure of the lord is indeed very tempting, Zhu Yuanzhang got half of the treasure map, and he also wanted to get the other half, and he also tried to let the lord bus out the other half of the treasure map, but the lord refused, and later Zhu Yuanzhang also promised to let the lord go, as long as the lord did not leave the capital, but that night, the lord committed suicide. Chen Ping said.

This is unexpected, I didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so generous to this Zhang Shicheng, maybe this Zhu Yuanzhang got the whole country, and he didn't care so much about this treasure, so he made the decision to let Zhang Shicheng go.

"Why didn't my father agree in the first place, why did he die?" asked Li Yuting with some puzzlement.

"Maybe the king of Zhou might have warned the people of the Great Zhou that the lord is not a person who surrenders and submits. Chen Ping said.

"Do you know this treasure map?" asked Li Yuting.

"The treasure map does record the treasure of the lord, when the lord conquered a lot of cities all the way, collected a lot of treasures of the Yuan Dynasty, and later established the country, the lord is good at governing the country, and has accumulated a lot of wealth for more than ten years, and then the scuffle, the lord is worried about the loss of the treasure, so the treasure is hidden in a secret place, and a treasure map is drawn, which is collected by the lord and the four princes, and then the treasure map of the four princes fell into the hands of the Ming army, and the half of the treasure map of the lord is also missing. Chen Ping said.

Everything fell into place, Chen Ping's betrayal may have led to the accelerated demise of the Great Zhou, but without Chen Ping, the demise of the Great Zhou is also an ironclad fact, and Chen Ping only acted as a propeller in the historical process.

"Let's go, Sister Li. There was silence in the room for a long time before I spoke.

"What about him?" Li Yuting didn't know what to do with this Chen Ping.

"I'll kill him. Liu Yifan on the side said.

"Haha, the old man knows that he should die, he died in the hands of the lord's descendants, the old man is satisfied, the old man is dead, and the old man goes down to atone for his sins. Chen Ping said calmly, maybe he has already seen through life and death, maybe he has been waiting for this day, the crime of betrayal has made him feel guilty for a lifetime, but what about his child?

"Chen Ping, what about your children back then?" I asked.

"My child???? Before the king of Zhou was arrested, I quietly sent away my child, I was afraid that the Ming army would attack the queen of Zhou after conquering me, I let a henchman take the child to the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, at first we were still in contact, after two years I lost the news, I don't know if my child is still alive now, you say this is retribution, I betrayed the king of Zhou for the child, but in the end the child was lost, I really deserve to die, kill me, kill me. Chen Ping looked very annoyed when he talked about his child.

Li Yuting didn't say anything, as if she was thinking about something.

A few minutes passed.

"Let's go. Li Yuting whispered a few words.

"Where's this old guy?" asked Liu Yifan.

"He has retribution, let him go. Li Yuting said lightly, with a hint of firmness in her eyes.

"Don't be merciful, kill what should be killed, if you don't kill, I'll kill. Liu Yifan said coldly.

Li Yuting didn't stop it, Liu Yifan took out a small dagger and walked towards Chen Ping.

I also had a trace of pity in my heart, and I also wanted to stop Liu Yifan, but when I wanted to speak, Chen Ping shouted loudly.

"You??? Wait a minute, wait a minute, where did the knife you collected come from?" Chen Ping looked at the knife in Liu Yifan's hand with a surprised face and asked loudly. (To be continued......)
