Mr. Qin was stunned when he heard this: "Why is he here? What are he doing here? Is he being followed?"

Since the fall of Chu and the failure of Master Lu Er's restoration plan, the Fang family has been living in a state of semi-imprisonment. Fang Shangshu is as if he is dead. There has been no news for more than a year. Now he suddenly comes to the door. What does he want?

do what?

He Min whispered: "Kun San and the others have been keeping an eye on the Xu family, and Fang Shangshu's youngest son-in-law is Xu Yan. He borrowed Xu Yan's hand to send news to Kun San. After disguising themselves, Kun San and the others showed him his whereabouts.

It’s very hidden and has not been discovered.”

The Xu family had an unclear relationship with the Luo family. Prince Wei was afraid that the Xu family would be confused again, which would damage Princess Fuhui's reputation and lose her position as concubine, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on the Xu family.

He also mentioned the purpose of Fang Shangshu's visit: "It is said that there are clues about old cases of the Wei family that he wants to report~"

What!

Mr. Qin frowned, because he didn't believe that Fang Shangshu had any real clues... But the Fang family was already in such a state of decline, and given Fang Shangshu's character, if he didn't have real clues, he would not dare to come to the door.

After all, the current Fang family cannot afford to offend Wei Xiao, even if Wei Xiao is in jail.

He Min asked: "Old Duke, do you want to see him?"

After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Qin decided to see Fang Shangshu: "Take him to the small study."

"Hey." He Min hurriedly went to do it. After searching Fang Shangshu and others, and making sure that they were not in danger, he took Fang Shangshu and others to the small study to see Mr. Qin.

When Fang Shangshu saw Mr. Qin, he knelt down tremblingly and said: "I'm going to pay my respects to Mr. He... The Fang family has done a lot of harm to the Chu Dynasty. Their crimes deserve to be punished by death. Please punish me."

Fang Shangshu is much older, his hair is all white, and he is very thin. If it were not for the thick winter coat, he would be so thin that he would scare the children.

When Mr. Qin thought of all the past events of the Chu Dynasty, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart, which eventually turned into a sigh and said: "The Chu Dynasty is dead, and it is useless to talk about it. Please wait until you die to apologize to Emperor Jingyuan... Get up first."

.”

"Thank you, Mr. He." Fang Shangshu stood up and bowed gratefully.

Mr. Qin said again: "Why did you go to such trouble to see the old man? If you dare to lie or want to make a plot to frame me, the old man guarantees that you and the descendants of the Fang family will all pay the price."

His voice was not loud, and he was still tired because of his old age, but after all, he was a man who had been fighting for a lifetime, and his accumulated power was very intimidating.

Fang Shangshu felt a chill in his body and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. He. Over the past year or so, the Fang family has suffered a lot. Their children have been killed, their titles have been deprived of their honors, and many of their married daughters have died of illness or been abandoned. The inheritance of our ancestors has

It was completely destroyed, and all of this was given by me. I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Fang family and dare not do anything that harms the Fang family anymore... I came here tonight because I want to surrender and serve Fang.

The children and grandchildren of our family will find another way of life."

Fang Shangshu had been an official all his life, and he knew very well that Mr. Qin would not believe him easily, so he hurriedly handed over a letter: "This is a pledge of trust between me, the sons of the Fang family, and the son-in-law of the Xu family. If the matter fails, you can trust this letter."

If the word spreads, no one in the Fang family or the Xu family will be able to survive."

He Min took it and handed it to Mr. Qin to read... What was written in the letter was not words about surrendering to Prince Wei and supporting his ascension to the throne, but words about the Fang family scolding Wei Qi and saying that he was not worthy of being emperor.

I have to say that this letter was written very cleverly. It did not involve Wei Xiao, but it gave the Fang family evidence of insulting the emperor.

However, Mr. Qin said: "Fang Shangshu, do you think that if you do this, the old man will believe you? It should be noted that throughout the ages, there are many people who work hard by surrendering."

This strategy is nothing new.

Fang Shangshu said: "I don't dare to ask Mr. He to trust me. I just follow the rules and submit a letter of nomination to you."

After hearing this, Mr. Qin stared at Fang Shangshu for a moment, and finally handed the letter to He Min: "Put it away."

Fang Shangshu was overjoyed. Are you willing to give him a chance to reveal the clues?

Sure enough, Mr. Qin said: "If you have any clues, tell me."

Fang Shangshu took out a scroll and handed it to Mr. Qin: "This is the original work of Mr. Guan Hai. When cleaning the house during the New Year, this painting accidentally fell on the stove and was steamed by the steam. I discovered that there was something else inside.

After cutting open the rice paper, I found a piece of cloth inside, with words on it, writing clues to the Wei family's old case... This matter was too big, I didn't dare to neglect, so I came to report to Mr. He... I just asked Mr. Qin to help me.

With the support of the family, the descendants of the Fang family will no longer be marginalized and can join the court as officials and continue the glory of their ancestors."

Everyone is profit-seeking, and you have to ask for something when you are attentive, so that others can rest assured. Fang Shangshu understands this very well, and he stated the benefits he seeks.

He also talked about the origin of this painting: "This painting was sent to the Fang family one year before Wei Guogong's line was destroyed. Li Shilang sent someone to the Fang family. He said that he knew that Mr. Guan Hai was related to the Fang family. This painting

It should be returned to the Fang family, out of the entire Fang family's friendship for Mr. Guan Hai."

Emperor Jingwu was able to establish Da Chu and became the founding king of Da Chu. Mr. Guan Hai played the most important role. Mr. Guan Hai was also a son of an aristocratic family, but his family fell into decline and he became a powerless orphan.

Later, when he arrived in the capital, he met Fang Shangshu's great-aunt, and the two made a private life-long arrangement, but the Fang family blocked it, which eventually led to the tragic death of Fang Shangshu's great-aunt, and Mr. Guan Hai was also deposed.

After this catastrophe, Mr. Guanhai hated the wealthy family. After learning some anecdotes about Emperor Jingwu, he felt that this person was extraordinary and had the ability to overthrow the wealthy family, so he went to assist Emperor Jingwu.

And he succeeded, following Emperor Jingwu back to Beijing in glory!

However, the Fang family was not destroyed.

Although Mr. Guanhai is separated from the Fang family's aunt forever and hates the Fang family to death, Mr. Guanhai still misses the Fang family's aunt. He knows that if the Fang family is in decline, she will be sad, so he helps her

Only with the help of the Fang family can the Fang family continue to prosper and bring glory to the entire Chu Dynasty.

Mr. Qin was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "He Min, bring the painting and take out the cloth inside!"

"Yes." He Min quickly complied and quickly took out the cloth from the painting.

And on the cloth, there is a passage written: The brothers of the Duke of Wei are jealous of Qiang, and a certain person is unclear. I am afraid that the Li family will be destroyed at the hands of his son-in-law. I have left a suicide note. If any moral person finds this suicide note, please go to Mr. Guanhai.

Tomb, dig the tomb to get evidence, for the Li family, for the Wei family Zhaoxue!

this?

Mr. Qin looked at the suicide note on it, and his vision went dark with excitement, and he almost fainted. He quickly told He Min: "Go and get Li Shilang's calligraphy and paintings to check the handwriting and fingerprints!"

"Yes." He Min quickly went to get the calligraphy and paintings left by Li Shilang and compared them with the suicide note on the cloth.

More than a quarter of an hour later, we came to the conclusion: "Old Guo Gong is an authentic work. It is really the suicide note left by Li Shilang. We have found a clue!"

After all the hard work, we finally found the clues, and the evidence: "It's actually hidden in Mr. Guan Hai's tomb. Shilang Li is really brilliant!"

Where is the safest place in the world? It must be the tomb of Mr. Guan Hai. He was Emperor Jingwu’s military advisor and had a very high status. No one dared to open his tomb to inspect it!

Fang Shangshu said: "Mr. He, the clue is here. Please send someone to Mr. Guanhai's grave to find out whether it is true or false."
