Chapter 72

"Why are you here?" After being stunned for a moment, Xu Jinghong recovered quickly and asked in a calm tone. What he faced was the head of the Xu family, that is, his grandfather, Xu Wannian, but in his heart, he did not accept this grandfather.

Xu Zhengnian turned around, looked up and down at Xu Jinghong, and then smiled indifferently, "Why can't I come here?"

Xu Jinghong was really speechless. After all, this land is still from the Xu family. He can come whenever he wants. Seeing Xu Jinghong's words, Xu Zhengnian's smile was a little brighter: "It seems that you can't answer. I can tell you one more thing. I also ordered the grave here to be repaired for her.

Xu Jinghong raised his eyebrows and felt grateful for the first time. Originally, he was worried about how much his mother's bones would be hurt after that day. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the capital, this place had changed a lot. He also thought that it was Xu Wanyou who had built it in his past, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Zhengnian's order.

After a long silence, Xu Jinghong said slowly, "Why did you do this for me?" Facing the old man, he didn't want to go around too much and directly raised his questions.

"You are one aspect, and the other is because of her." Xu Zhengnian's face suddenly appeared sad, which made Xu Jinghong even more confused: "For her? Does my mother have anything to do with you?

"This is a long time ago. If you want to know, I will tell you the original." Xu Zhengnian smiled and then said solemnly, "But I also have a few questions to ask you. I hope you can answer them truthfully."

After pondering for a while, Xu Jinghong nodded: "Ask me, as long as I know, I will not hide it." He has vaguely felt that the old man is going to tell himself something important about himself, which he must know.

Xu Zhengnian smiled with satisfaction and then asked the first question: "What happened in my house yesterday was what you instructed and planned behind your back, right?"

"Yes." Xu Jinghong has no remitment. When the other party can wait for him to come here, he can guess that Xu Zhengnian already knows the origin of it. Fang once caused the dance clothes to die of fatigue. Xu Jinghong, as a son of man, naturally wanted to take this great revenge. Now that the great revenge has to be revenged, he will naturally come to his mother's grave to pay tribute.

Seeing that Xu Jinghong did not hide anything, Xu Zhengnian also felt a little cold in his heart while appreciating his responsibility. The teenager was so calm that he admitted to his face that it was his own conspiracy without any embarrassment. After sett down, Xu Zhengnian asked again, "So... how did you know the context of this matter?" This is indeed the key. How can an outsider know and expose something that even the Xu family doesn't know?

Xu Jinghong did not answer directly, but said, "If you want people not to know, you can't do it unless you do it. Since the woman has done such a thing, she will definitely be noticed. It's just because the Xu family is a family and her status is extremely high. Even if a slave knows it, she doesn't dare to say it, so she has been hiding for so long.

Xu Zhengnian stared at Xu Jinghong for a long time, and finally shook his head: "It's not what you said. I think you have eyeliner in our family... No, not only my family, but also other families have eyeliner..."

When Xu Jinghong heard this, his heart tightened and his eyes shrank, which did not avoid Xu Zhengnian's old eyes. He laughed: "It seems that my speculation is right. You are really good at it. You can even settle into chess pieces among the rich families like us."

Xu Jinghong neither admitted nor denied it, but just smiled: "You can say whatever you want, but if you want to prove me with this, I'm afraid it's impossible, because you have no evidence."

"Yes, there are hundreds or even thousands of people in our family, and it is really difficult to find out which one is yours." Xu Zhengnian smiled and said, "And I'm not going to pursue this matter, so you can rest assured."

"Hmm?" This time it was Xu Jinghong's turn to be puzzled, but he finally didn't ask why, because he seemed to think of something.

"The second question, the Fang family should also be under your command, right?" Xu Zhengnian paused and said, "I really can't think of anyone else who has such a deep hatred for them to take the risk of destroying their whole family. After thinking about it, you are the only one."

Xu Jinghong did not answer this question immediately, as if he was thinking about something. But in fact, he is using his six knowledge to the extreme to make sure that there is no one else around him. When he was sure that there was no one else around dozens of feet and knew that his words would not be known by the third party, he nodded and said, "Yes, but I won't tell you how I killed them."

Xu Zhengnian sighed: "You are too cruel. Fang Yuanshan and his sons are indeed at fault, and there are countless people who have been killed by them. They really deserve to die. But those other family wives and children are not killed..."

"Yes, they just suffered from the pond fish, but who called them from the Fang family? When the Fang family uses its own power to destroy the families of those killed and innocent people, they will never think about whether they are guilty or not. So in my opinion, since they were born in the Fang family, they are the greatest sin. Xu Jinghong was not moved by the other party's words and answered in a cold tone.

In the face of such an answer, Xu Zhengnian only sighed: "Your murderousness is still so great. It seems that what the Taoist priest said in those years was very right. You are the one who will bring killing to this world. Although his Taoist mind method is authentic, it can't really suppress your innate murder.

"Huh? Tianji Taoist priest? Did you come here to help him too? Xu Jinghong heard the voice from Xu Zhengnian's words.

"That's right. At the beginning, I meant to ask him to teach you some martial arts, and there would be a way out in the future, but after he saw you, he asserted that you were full of evil spirits. Originally, this kind of fate was unbearable for ordinary people, and it must have died early, but you survived, which is God's will. So he taught you the skills of that door, hoping that you can suppress the murderous spirit with this.

Xu Jinghong recalled that it was strange that the Taoist would suddenly appear, and later he was willing to spend a lot of time to make people unable to figure out his intention. Now it seems that everything was deliberately arranged by Xu Zhengnian, but why? Why did he cultivate himself like this? What kind of secret is there in it? Xu Jinghong found that he was more eager to know the key to this.

Xu Zhengnian also saw this and smiled again, "I will answer your questions today. But before that, you have to answer my third question.

"Ask." Xu Jinghong smiled and said in a more cordial tone than before. Because he found that Xu Zhengnian was not so indifferent to himself. He was a person with clear grudges, and naturally he had to repay him.

"What you have done since you came to the capital seems to show a meaning, that is, you want to deal with us families who control the overall situation of the government. Why did you do this? Have you ever thought it would be bad for you?

Xu Jinghong smiled. After looking up at the blue sky, he said, "Because the world is not the world of the family, but the world of people. Since there are so many impurity in the world, why can't there be a bold and capable person to take care of it? The rule of the family has caused the national strength of the Song Dynasty to decline, and the people live in deep trouble. Since I have a chance, I naturally have to do my part for the Song Dynasty and our Han people.

Xu Zhengnian was stunned. He really didn't expect to say such a thing from Xu Jinghong's mouth. He thought that Xu Jinghong would say that he had been bullied by his family since he was a child, and he would have such a rebellious psychology when he grew up. But now it seems that I still look down on this young man. It turns out that his ambition is so high that he is just like that man.

After being stunned for a long time, Xu Zhengnian came to his senses and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I can't persuade you to change your original intention and shine for my Xu family."

After seeing Xu Jinghong acquiesced, Xu Zhengnian continued to say, "Well, everything I want to know has been asked, and you have also given me the answer. Next, let me tell you everything related to you that happened 30 years ago."

"Thirty years ago?" Hearing this familiar statement, Xu Jinghong's heart was moved. He seemed to think of something, but in the end he didn't ask anything, because he didn't want to interrupt Xu Zhengnian, who had begun to talk about that year.

"Thirty years ago, there was a young general in the northern border army of the Song Dynasty. Although he comes from a family, he does not only know how to live a luxurious life on the merit books of his ancestors like other people, but hopes to rely on his own skills to make greater achievements, and also hope to serve the country and make a world of my Song Dynasty.

Xu Jinghong knew that the young man mentioned by Xu Zhengnian was himself. At this time, he had obviously indulged in the past years. Sure enough, Xu Zhengnian's expression was full of pride and pride as soon as he talked about those years: "This young man is indeed not simple. In just a few years in the army, he was promoted continuously because of his merit. At the age of 35, he became the deputy commander-in-chief second only to the general in the northern border army."

Xu Jinghong wants to say that this is not all your own credit. Even if an ordinary soldier really makes a lot of contributions, it is impossible for him to be promoted to deputy commander in the army in a short time. It is clear that the power of your Xu family is paving the way for you. But in the end, Xu Jinghong just opened his mouth and did not refute. He did not want to hit the old man, nor did he want to interrupt the memory of the other party at this time, because what he wanted to know would soon appear.

"At that time, he did think so, thinking that everything he got was obtained by his ability. But it was not until many years later that he realized that everything was not what he thought, and there were still many hidden things hidden in it. Xu Zhengnian made his own words clear, which made Xu Jinghong, who listened to him, feel a sense of admiration. There are too few people in the world who can face such a situation.

However, when he was young, he did not know all this, and when he rose to a high position and approached an invincible god of war that had been recited, he knew that his achievements in the past were really worth mentioning. At that time, the great marshal in the northern army was the god of war recognized by the Hu people and my Song people. His name was Feng Liekong.

"Feng Shuai is a perfect person, which is the conclusion reached by the young man after following him for a while. He is loyal to the court, and his soldiers are like brothers. Every time he fights with the enemy, he is the first soldier, and he is so brave that even the fierce and good- fought barnabis are not his opponent. In the years when he followed Fengshuai, young people learned a lot of skills on the battlefield and made him make greater contributions. As a result, the Hu people were completely suppressed by the Song Dynasty and almost dared not come to the border to make trouble again.

But when young people think everything is so perfect, things have changed significantly. That day, several friends who had been in the capital came to his barracks, and those were also children of the family. The young man had a good relationship with him, and the other party came to reward the three armies, so he received them warmly. After the drunkenness, one of those friends quietly told him a surprising news - it turned out that in addition to the labor army, they also came here with the responsibility of removing Feng Shuai!

"I was confused when I was young, and I didn't know what kind of reaction I should have. Then, the friend took out a letter written by the seven family owners to the young people, including a handwritten letter from his father, asking him to cooperate with the other party to remove Feng Shuai for the sake of the family, because Feng Shuai was planning to attack the ruling family and seize the regime into his own hands.

"Naturally, it is impossible for young people to believe that Feng Shuai will have such an ambition. He can guess that this is because everyone found that Feng Shuai was a threat to his power and wanted to keep everything before making this decision. At that time, he also argued with manpower, saying that if there was no handsome man in the north, the Hu people would harm the world. But the friend said that for the Song Dynasty, Feng Shuai was several times more harmful than the Hu people. The Hu people only robbed some property, but Feng Shuai wanted to seize the throne.

"In the end, under their persuasion and loyalty to the family, the young man still chose to cooperate with them to deal with the handsome man he admired most, although his heart was full of sadness.

"But is it so easy to deal with a general with an unshakable position in the northern border army? Even if they can come up with the imperial edict, if they really dare to attack Feng Shuai, they will have no place to die. It is even likely to trigger a collective mutiny of the Union army, so they are also very embarrassed and don't know what to do after that.

"But at this time, things turned around again. It seemed that even God had to deal with Feng Shuai. At this time, Hu people suddenly sent troops to invade my border. Naturally, Feng Shuai would not sit back and immediately brought enough people to deal with it. At this time, the young man's friend told him that now is the best time to eradicate the handsome.

"They, as a supervisor, asked Fengshuai to fight against tens of thousands of Hu people who came invading, and agreed to use him as bait, and then the others were ambushed in a dangerous place. But after Feng Shuai sent troops, they suddenly stopped all the horses and allowed Feng Shuai to fight with ten times the enemy of the Hu people with thousands of people.

"Even if the wind is handsome and bravely crowns the three armies, and all the soldiers fight for their lives, but in the end, they are outnumbered. Feng Shuai and these thousands of people all died in the frontal confrontation with the Hu people, but the agreed reinforcements did not even appear.

"When the war was over and he was convinced that Feng Shuai was dead, the young man took his men out and suddenly killed the already tired barbarian and fled. This battle made the Hu people unable to invade Song Jing again for 30 years, and also made this young man declare a loud noise and successfully replaced Feng Shuai as the head of the general of the Northern Army. But in his heart, there was always a wound left, and he felt guilty!"

In the end, Xu Zhengnian's face was full of tears. Thirty years of suppressed feelings burst out at this moment. He thought he would no longer care about what he had done in the past, but today, he really regretted it.

Xu Jinghong only sighed beside him, and he didn't know what to say. Xu Zhengnian did something wrong, but he was also forced by the situation and had to do it. Perhaps, if the original wind and air could wake up earlier and remove those people first, this tragedy would not have happened.

After a while, Xu Zhengnian continued to say, "After that, Feng Shuai was convicted by those in power in the court, saying that he had improperly used troops, causing tens of thousands of troops to be buried in the hands of the enemy. He was not only deprived of all his previous title, but also plagiarized his family. All the men in his family were beheaded, and the women were filled into the teaching workshop... It is a pity that a generation of gods of war, the final result is the death of the family, and they can't turn over for 30 years.

Xu Jinghong also sighed, but he did not dare to be distracted, because he knew that everything would be known soon. Sure enough, Xu Zhengnian said, "That young man has been trying to make up for it because of his guilt. He wants to save Feng Shuai's descendants. Huangtian lived up to his painstaking efforts. When he returned to the capital ten years later, he really found one of the handsome daughters. At that time, she had become a dancer in the workshop.

"He took her back to his home. In order not to be noticed by others, he just regarded the girl as an ordinary slave. Unexpectedly, because of this, his disappointing son was born because of the beauty of the woman... and finally gave birth to his grandson, that is, the handsome grandson. The mystery of the world is really unimaginable.

Xu Jinghong was stunned there. Although he had guessed everything, when the facts were told, the impact was still great. At the same time, the previous questions have also been answered with the disclosure of all this, why the mother was in the Xu family, why she could save her life after making a big mistake that day, why Xu Zhengnian repaired her mother's grave, and why... everything has a most suitable answer.

Because he is a fierce grandson, because Xu Zhengnian is guilty!
