Following his father into the Houya of the Prefecture, Jiang Ling asked, "Father, who are these grain merchants?"

Mr. Jiang cursed while washing his hands, "They are all lucrative businessmen who are hoarding goods. They think that they can make money by lying down by paying money from Kaiwen and Zhong Dangtian. Do you think I'm blind!"

Jiang Ling laughed out loud.

Mr. Jiang raised his peach blossom eyes and glared at him, "Why are you laughing at?"

"My father came to Suzhou for a year and was somewhat infected with the heroic spirit of the Northwest soldiers."

"I am a heroic hero!" Mr. Jiang looked at his thin son and said distressedly, "Is breakfast available?"

Seeing Jiang Ling shook her head, she didn't need Mr. Jiang to give instructions, and followed Mr. Zhao, who came to Suzhou to take care of Mr. Jiang's daily life and meals, and immediately turned around to prepare.

Jiang Ling sat at the table and asked, "Father, where is the second brother?"

"He followed General Lu out of the city to inspect border defense preparations and will not come back tomorrow." Mr. Jiang whispered, "Why are you running back now?"

Jiang Ling smiled and said, "Father Rong'er first had a few bites of food before telling you."

Mr. Jiang snorted, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. This brat was tense all day long when he was Kang'an, and he refused to say a word. He didn't want to go back to Suzhou to beat him for a year, but his temperament became lively.

After using the meal, Jiang Ling invited everyone in the house, including the secret guards who protected Mr. Jiang, and then lowered his voice, "I have something to report to you. This matter is of great importance. After hearing this, you can beat the child and vent your anger, but you cannot alarm the outsiders loudly."

Mr. Jiang raised his sword eyebrows and said excitedly, "What trouble did you cause? Tell me, I promised not to hit you for my father."

"My son is indeed in trouble." Jiang Ling sat honestly beside his father and whispered, "This matter starts with six years ago when his father helped him ask for the Meng family house to come to... "

Mr. Jiang frowned, "I'm busy with my father, so can't you tell a long story?"

"I can't explain it clearly if I'm short."

Mr. Jiang...

"At the end of October of the sixth year of Jinglong, when the new house was cleaned up and opened the door, the manager dug a hole by the yard wall to place the feldstones found by his third uncle, Er and Liuer accidentally found a box from the pit..."

hiss--

Mr. Jiang took a breath and opened his peach blossom eyes angrily, "You are actually hiding such a big thing from me?"

"Please forgive me for your crime, my father." Jiang Ling honestly lowered his head and waited for the beating.

Mr. Jiang first slapped his son on the back of the head, and said with anger, "Continue talking."

"Yes." Jiang Ling explained what was in the box, how did he and his sister consider it, and the later investigation of Zhongmu and Sigu Niangshan.

Before hearing that his father was killed, he had written a memorial to the late emperor to explain the hidden information about the corruption case in Suzhou, and Mr. Jiang's eyes were red, "What happened later?"

"After we left Kang'an, my sister continued to investigate the matter and found the four words '1384' in the account book. She checked it repeatedly and found that these four words represent..."

"Northwest District of Tongjifang." Mr. Jiang immediately replied, "What's wrong there?"

"Liu'er felt that these four words were deliberately left by Meng Huizhou and led you into the trap, so she continued to investigate..."

Mr. Jiang seriously corrected, "I'm not in the trap, she's in the trap."

"Father, Liu'er was not in the jar, but he dug out something extraordinary from the jar."

Jiang Ling explained the matter in detail. Mr. Jiang Er's hair stood up several times when he heard it. After seeing the letter his son handed him, he didn't care about beating his son and worried about his daughter, and immediately said, "Go and bring Zheng Jue in."

Jiang Ling whispered, "Father, no matter what Zheng Jiu said, you must write a secret letter to report without missing a word. The letter should state that it was a letter from the prefect, and let you verify whether Zheng Jiu was Wei Cong."

Mr. Jiang said worriedly, "Liu'er's letter did not say that. He wrote this for his father. If it was different from what Lord Zhang said in front of Long Live, wouldn't it be exposed?"

"Father, don't worry, Liu'er Ding has made it clear to Lord Zhang, and there will be no two words in front of you."

"What if Liu'er didn't say it?"

"Liu'er must have said it. She didn't write it out because she knew it without saying it, but Er could understand it."

Mr. Jiang, who didn't understand, looked at Jiang Ling, who knew very well, for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand and gave his son a chestnut, "Why don't you go and call Zheng Jiu in."

Before Zheng Juo could kneel down to salute before he could enter the house, Mr. Jiang raised his hand to give up his greeting, "Sit down."

"...Thank you, sir." Zheng Jiu sat down and replied a few words, then began to talk about the old things ten years ago.

Zheng Jiu is indeed from Yushangou Village.

He was dependent on his father since childhood. Twenty years ago, when Zheng Jue was eleven years old, his father went up the mountain to hunt and fell off a cliff and was seriously injured. Zheng Jue used a car to push his father into Kang'an City and asked the doctor for treatment, but he was blocked outside the clinic because of insufficient money. When Zheng Jue knelt down and begged the doctor, Wei Bin, who was leaving the palace to do business, passed by and saw that he was filial and gave him twenty taels of silver to save his father.

However, Zheng Jiu's father died directly in the clinic due to his serious injuries. Seeing that Zheng Jiu was young, the black-hearted doctor became greedy and swallowed twenty taels of silver and threw Zheng Jiu's father's body outside the clinic. When Zheng Jiu hugged his father's body and cried, he was met by Wei Bin, who returned from the work.

Although Wei Bin did not show his identity, the people in the clinic knew that he could not afford to offend him, so they had to spit out silver. After Zheng Ju bought a coffin for a coffin and buried his father, he still made a living by hunting. When he was fifteen years old, he went to the city to sell the birds he caught, and met his benefactor Wei Bin.

The elderly Wei Bin bought a house in Tongjifang to prepare for retirement. Because he was inconvenient to leave the palace, he gave Zheng Jiu some silver and keys to the house, and asked him to help him buy furniture supplies. Zheng Jiu wanted to make things convenient, so he used the name "Wei Cong" when doing business for Wei Bin, calling him Wei Bin's son.

After the death of the late emperor, Wei Bin left the palace. When Zheng Ju visited him at Wei's house, he found that Wei Bin was ill in bed, so he stayed to take care of him for more than ten days. Later, Wei Bin handed him a bag and asked him to take the bag out of the city to hide it secretly, so that he would not step into Tongjifang again.

When Wei Congzai entered the city as a bird seller Zheng Chunjiu, he heard that Wei Bin had been killed.

Wei Cong said this and couldn't help but wipe his tears, "Uncle Bin asked the villain to make a poisonous oath, and he must hand the bag to the loyal and good ministers. At that time, the villain asked Uncle Bin: Which adult is a loyal and good minister? Uncle Bin asked the villain to wait for five years before handing the bag to the young adult who is most valued and most popular among the people."

"Who knew that in the twelfth lunar month of the fourth year of Jinglong, you discovered a white tiger in the north of Yushan. Long live to seal the Yushan Mountain. The cave where the white tiger chose to live was the one where the villain hid the bag. The villain was afraid that the bag would be discovered, so he stole it into Yushan twice and wanted to take out the bag and hide it, but was caught by Yulin Guard and sent to Yingzhou for five years of hard labor."

Mr. Jiang...

Jiang Ling...

This is really...

Mr. Jiang raised his hand and coughed, and then heard Zheng Ju continue, "Five years after being sent to Yingzhou, he will follow the young general Jiang Xijing to return to Beijing. I think you are the most respected and most popular young adult in Uncle Bin's mouth."

"The villain thought of going to Minshan to take out the bag and hand it over to you, but when he came back from the mountain to explore the way, he learned that you have asked for an order to go to Suzhou to save the people. The villain thought that when you finish the work and return to Beijing, he would take out the bag and hand it over to you."

Mr. Jiang...
