This box contains letters written by Tan Lingxuan to Xue Jinchang, the ancestor of the Xue family. From the first letter to the last letter, it lasted for a long time, with a time span of more than three years. The contents of the letters are almost full of

He was concerned about the situation, disappointed with the government and sympathized with the people, but that was all. He did not put forward any substantive opinions, and the situation did not change in any way.

"Is your ancestor a scholar?" Xue Ruitian boldly asked His Highness Prince Ning. Seeing the other party nodding slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder!"

"What's so surprising? You think that this old man can only worry about things, talk on paper, and know nothing else, right?" His Highness Prince Ning saw Xue Ruitian nodding sheepishly, smiled indifferently, and said, "

There is nothing wrong with what you say, he has been working all his life on how to solve current problems through government agencies."

"Through the government office?" Jin Miaomiao frowned slightly, "The government office at that time had already colluded with those bandits and unscrupulous big businessmen. It was just a fantasy to want to solve the problem that the old man wanted to solve through the government office.

!”

"That's what happened." His Highness Prince Ning sighed, "That's why I said it's okay for Xiaotian to think that way. He just wants to solve the problem through so-called normal means, but the channel he has high hopes for has long been

It’s already rotten.”

"Is the old man unable to see clearly, or does he refuse to admit it?"

"This..." His Highness Prince Ning curled his lips, "According to the story passed down from our family, the old man knew it in his heart, but refused to admit it. He just thought that as long as the appeal was reasonable, the government would not ignore it. Therefore, for those

He won't listen to the idea that government officials, bandits, and big businessmen are working together to collude, and he will lose his temper if he talks too much."

"Isn't this self-deception?" Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "Don't your family members advise you?"

"I tried to persuade you, but it was of no use at all." His Highness Prince Ning spread his hands, "I know quite a lot about this matter about our ancestors. You also know that I am not in good health. When I was young, I was with Xiaocha

Same, lying in bed recuperating all the time, but this kind of life is boring, right?" She looked at Shen Cha with a smile, and Shen Cha nodded with deep feeling, "What should I do if I'm bored? My family, elders, and friends are all

I was busy with my own business and couldn't be with you all the time, so I had to find something to do by myself. There used to be a lot of old stuff in the palace, a lot of big boxes like this, but they were rarely opened, so I just let

The little chamberlain went to move it over, and he just flipped through the pages when he had nothing to do. The emperor brother and the others didn't care, as long as I take a good rest, it doesn't matter what I read."

"That's why His Highness knows many stories that others don't know."

"Absolutely." His Highness Prince Ning looked at Shen Cha's probing eyes, then looked at Xue Ruitian's expectant face, and waved his hand, "I know what you want to ask, isn't it just whether you have seen the Green Lotus Sect?" Yes.

The children nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and he shook his head, "Although I don't want to disappoint you, I really haven't seen it. Even today, when I saw these letters, I realized that our ancestors had had a relationship with the Xue family for a while.

s contact."

"I remember." Shen Cha patted his forehead, "When the Qinglian Sect was first started, it was not called the Qinglian Sect. It was only later that the name was changed. Moreover, I seem to have seen it somewhere.

However, the name was changed after the first three families left." She sighed softly, "At this time, they had no idea of ​​resisting."

"They don't have ideas at this time, and all they have is bookishness." His Highness Prince Ning agreed with Shen Cha's statement, "However, he did something that others dare not do, and it seems funny now.

It’s a tragic and pitiful thing.”

"What is it?"

"Emperor Taizu once recorded in his private notes that his grandfather once did something very crazy, which was to ring the Dengwen drum at the entrance of the government office again and again."

"Did our ancestors have any fame at that time?"

"Yes, he only dares to do this because of his fame. Otherwise, with the power of Forty Boss, he would never come back alive." His Highness Prince Ning's expression was very helpless, but his eyes showed his disdain for this man.

The ancestor's admiration means, "He beat the drum because he wanted to bring justice to the people and fight injustice for the people. He hoped that the government could eradicate those people who harmed the people, but he failed time and time again. More than that,

Every time, he inflicted injuries all over his body, leaving himself on the verge of life and death."

"He has a great reputation and is an official..."

"It's not the government office. It has nothing to do with the government office. It's the thugs sent by the bandits and those big businessmen. They waited until the old man walked out of the government office and was far away from the government office. Then they tied him up and dragged him to a secluded small box and beat him.

." His Highness Prince Ning sighed, looked at the children in front of him, and then at Ying Wu and Jin Miaomiao who had come to him at some point, "Don't you think it's weird?"

"The same was true at the border in the early years." Shen Haolin sighed and patted Shen Cha on the shoulder, "When we first arrived here, the situation was not much better than what Uncle Wang told us."

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded and said, "Because of the constant wars all year round, the management here is very chaotic. Before the Shen Army was stationed, this was an area that was ignored. The Liao and Jin Dynasties regarded this place as a target for plunder, and here

The government office basically doesn't take care of things, and it only plays the role of reporting to the nearest Pei family residence once a war breaks out."

"The Pei family was punished because of repeated unfavorable wars?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, His Highness Prince Ning chuckled, "Isn't it more than that?"

"Well, he has evidence of collaboration with the enemy and the country, but he has not made it public." Shen Cha glanced at Shen Haolin, "However, at that time, human trafficking, provoking troubles, and fighting were all common here. Even if

It was murder and arson, and no one would make a fuss about it, so..." She shrugged, "I don't think it's that strange about what happened in my ancestor's time. However, I vaguely remember that the Song family and the Xue family

Are they all from Yuezhou? Only the Shen family is actually based in Xijing City?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Yuezhou was the first to rise up, and the Shen family was already in Yuezhou at that time."

"It's not close to Yuezhou from Xijing City. Why is this?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Forced to leave their hometown?"
