Mu Jingrui and Mu Jingyan stood at the door of a small courtyard, and they had been observing secretly for several days.
"Brother, the news of the servant you sent to investigate before is correct. This family is really suspicious." Mu Jingyan pondered for a while and said, "Let's not wait any longer, sneak in after dark. They don't
If you want to tell the truth, just hit them until they say it.”
"Why are girls so violent?" Mu Jingrui frowned slightly. Although he said that, he did not object in his heart.
He wanted to find out the truth too much.
Not only is the fairness of the dead parents, but I also hope... it can be proved that it has nothing to do with Shangguan Yue.
As the sun sets in the west, the sky soon darkens. Fragments of food waft from the courtyard. Candlelight reflects the shadows on the windows, laughter and joy come, full of the breath of fireworks on earth.
"Grandma, this is the tofu I specially learned from the restaurant chef. You must like it, try it."
The handsome young man sent a spoonful of tofu to his grandmother, and the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man and a woman broke in with a long sword in his hand.
The originally noisy room suddenly became quiet.
After a short moment of froze, the young man came to his senses and rushed forward to question, "Who are you? You can trespass on the private house, I can report to the officials to arrest you."
"This...is it the home of Jiang Fu and Jiang Gang?" Mu Jingrui's voice was cold, revealing a sharp chill.
"Yes... so what?" The young man was stunned, as if to give him courage. He straightened his chest and said, "No matter what you are asking him for... He is dead, we don't know anything.
.”
"You don't know about your father, but..." Mu Jingyan knew at a glance that the man was pretending to be calm. She said coldly, "Who gave your family a good life now? You should know it.
?”
"It's...it's ourselves..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Jingyan's long sword stabbed over.
After all, his father was a military general. He had practiced for a few days. He flashed his sideways, but Mu Jingyan's legs were hooked to the ground.
"You hear it clearly for me. If I ask, you will answer whatever I ask." Mu Jingyan's gaze swept over, with a sharp light, "I have a bad temper. If I don't feel satisfied, don't blame me for the long in my hands.
The sword doesn't have eyes anymore."
Most of the rest of the Jiang family were female relatives, and they were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.
As long as Mrs. Jiang is always watching Mu Jingrui.
"What do you two want to know?" Mrs. Jiang asked calmly.
Mu Jingrui signaled Mu Jingyan to put down the sword. He observed carefully. No one present could do martial arts.
"Old lady, we just want to know who is giving you a stable life now."
Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly and shook her head gently. "Young Master Mu really just wants to know who gave us a stable life, or do you want to know the whole story of your father's treason?"
Mu Jingrui and Mu Jingyan looked at each other.
"The old lady has good eyesight."
"Young Master Mu probably doesn't remember it. When we celebrated Mrs. Mu's birthday many years ago, we met. Although you were still a child at that time,... I will not admit my mistake."
Mu Jingrui took a few steps forward and saluted Mrs. Jiang. "Old Madam, your son stood up and proved that my father was traitorous, and now..."
Mrs. Jiang made a gesture and interrupted Mu Jingrui's words.
"I, a woman, don't know anything about men. But before my son died, there was something for me to keep. He said, if one day the descendants of the Mu family came to you, I'll give you the things.
bring it on."
After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
"Brother, will there be a fraud?" Mu Jingyan frowned and said.
Mu Jingrui pondered a little and shook his head slightly.
An old man who is in his twilight years can still deal with it.
"You are waiting for me here, look at the rest of the Jiang family, and I will go over and take a look."
Mu Jingyan thought for a moment that controlling the rest of the Jiang family was the last way out.
"Brother, then be careful."
Mu Jingrui followed Mrs. Jiang in, not as thrilling as he expected.
Mrs. Jiang walked into her room, took out a wooden box from under the Buddha statue worshipped and handed it over.
"The things you want to know are all inside."
Mu Jingrui found that Mrs. Jiang's hand was trembling slightly. He took the box alertly and opened it carefully. The one placed on the top was a blood letter.
This is Jiang Fu's self-report.
He clearly recorded the battle to defend his country.
It turned out that some people in the court deliberately deducted military pay, food and grass, resulting in the military camp being exhausted and almost wiped out.
Jiang Fu and several other participating generals broke out of the siege under the cover of coach Mu Hongqing and wanted to report the truth to the court.
They were hunted by mysterious killers along the way, and only Jiang Fu fled back to the capital.
Jiang Fu followed Mu Hongqing's instructions and found Sun Taifu for help. Unexpectedly, Sun Taifu used his and other participating generals' lives as a threat to make him turn things around, and instead accused Mu Hongqing of treason.
For the sake of his family, Jiang Fu had no choice but to do it. However, he felt that he had no face to face his comrades who died on the battlefield. He did not want to live in the world, and was worried that the truth would be buried after his death, so he left a blood letter before his death.
At the same time, there are records of the court's distribution of military pay, food and supplies, as well as Mu Hongqing's combat records. He hopes that one day the truth can be restored and the dead soldiers can rest in peace.
After Mu Jingrui finished watching, his thoughts surged and his heart surged. He clenched his fists and his eyes were scarlet.
Grand Tutor Sun...
My father trusted this friend so much before he died, and in the end...
"Then why did you move here with your family?" Mu Jingrui asked in confusion, "Also, why was Shangguan Yue secretly helping you?"
"This... I don't know either. After my son died, we were still harassed by some people of unknown origin. Fortunately, Lord Shangguan got along secretly. I had thought of giving these things to him for safekeeping, but he said, let me
Waiting for you to come.”
Mu Jingrui was stunned.
He began to wonder what role Shangguan Yue played in the whole thing.
Shangguan Yue had known that such evidence existed, but he did not give it to overturn the verdict for his father, and did not help him when the Mu family was in trouble; however, Shangguan Yue secretly protected these evidences.
What exactly does he want to do?
When Mu Jingrui was puzzled, Mrs. Jiang knelt down in front of him.
"Old lady..."
"Mr. Mu, my son framed Zhongliang for his family, and he...he was forced to do so. Our Jiang family couldn't pay back what he owed you, but I hope...the grudges can end here."
After saying that, Mrs. Jiang hit Zhuzi head-on, apologized for her death, and died on the spot.
