The mind gradually calms down and the mind becomes clearer.
Jiang Yichen looked back on the past.
Whenever talking about his biological parents, whether it was Yin Niang or the old man, Uncle Yi and others were always tight-lipped and never told him the exact identities of his parents. However, the implicit meaning in their words showed that his parents were outstanding.
A very remarkable person.
Compared to today, my parents must have been as important in Zhongzhou's arena back then as Feng Chen, the ghostly enchantress and the like.
Once captured and used by Japan, it can shake the foundation of Zhongzhou Jianghu to a certain extent, or launch a fatal blow to Zhongzhou Jianghu.
Only in this way can they be valuable to the Japanese people.
Only in this way, the old man and others will do everything possible to conceal his life experience and let him go through the martial arts world like an ordinary member of the Alliance of Justice.
Until he has strong enough ability to protect himself, he will always be one of the powerful choices used by the enemy to defeat his parents.
With the weight of my parents, they will definitely not be unknown in this world.
It is not unimaginable to call the old man and others brothers and sisters, and chat and laugh with the old people.
The old man asked Yao Laodai to inform him in the letter, which further confirmed Jiang Yichen's inference.
Yao Lao must be someone who knows his parents well.
As expected, Yao Lao stroked his long beard and laughed and said: "I know it, I know it, how can I not know it."
After hearing what Yao Lao said, Jiang Yichen obediently pretended to be attentive.
Seeing this scene, Yao Lao was stunned for a long time, a little lost in thought but also a little moved. His eyelashes trembled slightly, as if a person from the past appeared in front of him.
"Speaking of which, you and your father's temperaments are really not the same at all."
"Although that guy looks quite honest, he is very sharp-tongued, eloquent, and easy to talk to people. Even when he met an old man like me for the first time, he could talk about everything from health care to country governance, from country governance to food.
, we chatted for most of the day and still felt so happy!”
"You kid, you only have one face that's eighty percent of his true self. Unfortunately, as your face gets thinner, it becomes longer and less resembling. It's too austere. Maybe it's also influenced by the "Yin Feng Kung" to some extent. You didn't notice it.
How cruel would it be if I had a gloomy face?"
"Forget it, let's not mention this."
"Where to start? Well... the shadow of a tree, the name of a person, let's start with your father's name."
"Your father's surname is Lin and his given name is Zhaoyan."
Lin Zhaoyan?
When Jiang Yichen heard the name of his biological father for the first time, he couldn't help but frown, and felt confused in his heart.
As a qualified killer, Jiang Yichen believed that he was not only extensive but also meticulous in the basic work of intelligence collection.
Although he only knew his biological father's name and even his surname until now, so he had not paid careful attention to it beforehand, he was extremely certain that this name had never appeared in any information he had come across in the past few years.
According to his previous deduction, his biological parents should definitely not be ignored in the world of Zhongzhou. It is obvious that there is a force deliberately erasing the existence of his parents from the past history.
Was it the work of the Daoyi Alliance?
Jiang Yichen didn't think any force in the world would be so capable.
unless……
This matter is in the interest of the imperial court and has received full cooperation from the imperial court!
While Jiang Yichen was thinking deeply, he suddenly felt that Yao Lao's voice stopped.
Immediately, he smiled bitterly. Since Yao Lao wanted to tell a story, he just had to listen carefully. His questions would be answered soon in the story. After listening to the story, if you still have questions, it's not too late to ask them.
Yao Lao was very satisfied with the young man's reaction and continued to recall and tell the story of the past.
"Your father is a child who came out of the mountains. He gave himself the name after reading some books."
"Determined to make the Lin family and the name 'Lin Zhaoyan' famous throughout the world in my lifetime."
"In fact, your father has done it a long time ago. If it were a different world, he would never be in this situation."
"In those years, the name 'Lin Zhaoyan' was always shining brightly from the court to the world."
"However, when you were at your age, your father's reputation had not yet spread among the world. His early actions were mostly learned through the investigation of the Alliance of Justice while he was close to him, and his earlier experiences,
I just blew it when I was chatting nonsense with us old guys."
"Your father is the second eldest child in the family. He has been farming in a small mountain village in Fujian for generations. If he hadn't thought of going out of the mountains to have a look, the old Lin family would have been unable to escape the burning, killing and looting of the Ying bandits many years later."
"This old Lin family is your hometown, oh no, to be precise, it should be the hometown of your father and grandfather. The place it is located in is much more isolated than the Medicine Valley. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is in the deep mountains and old forests.
"
"Fortunately, there are still some people in the village who are not willing to live in a corner for generations, and try to go outside the village. After more than ten years of exploration, they finally discovered that the local 'Baiya Qilan' tea is the best-selling outside the mountain, and then there are countless
Every family started a tea business."
"In order for your family to live a better life, your father followed one of the tea merchants when he was seven years old and traveled around the mountains. Five years of hard work not only did not make your father skinny and skinny, but
On the contrary, my body and bones are healthier, and my hands and feet are more agile than ordinary people. I am self-taught without a teacher, which has laid a solid foundation for future martial arts achievements."
"At the same time, he was still busy reading and literacy, and it was at this time that he specially chose a new name for himself."
"At that time, due to limited conditions, your father had access to not many books, but he had already seen the way to success from the books."
"So, when he was thirteen years old, he joined the mayor of Wuxia Town and served as a companion to the young master of Ning Mansion."
"At that time, Young Master Ning was only eight years old and was too lazy to study. Mayor Ning's original intention in hiring a companion was naturally to use a boy close to his age to guide his behavior, but he was also aware of your father's intention.
.”
"Being able to be the leader of a town depends not only on power, but also on knowledge and magnanimity. Mayor Ning not only did not kick your father out of the door, but also allowed your father to enjoy the beauty of adulthood while doing his job as a companion.
I have a collection of books in my house, and I don’t hesitate to give you advice to answer my questions.”
"Of course, your father is also very ambitious. First, he won the first place in the provincial examination at the age of sixteen, entered Youjing at the age of eighteen, won the Huiyuan in the imperial examination, and answered the policy questions asked by the old emperor in the palace examination.
He was highly praised by the old emperor and appointed as the number one scholar."
Yao Lao spoke calmly and calmly, but Jiang Yichen was speechless when he heard this verse.
Although I had expected that my father would be in extraordinary circumstances, he never expected that he would have such a demeanor as "Three Yuan Ji Di".
Seeing Jiang Yichen's reaction, Yao Lao once again expressed his emotion that had been dormant for more than twenty years: "Win three yuan in a row. Since the establishment of the imperial examination, only about fifty people have won this honor in the past thousands of years. Like
There are very few people like your father who have achieved such an achievement at such a young age, and because the martial arts trend in Zhongzhou has been too strong in the past hundred years, your father's feat can be said to be a once-in-a-century achievement!"
"It's just that although the name of the number one scholar in this article is amazing, it is not easy to spread in this era. More people who know his name are in the officialdom."
"The old emperor admired your father very much, but after all, he was worried that he was too young and would be embarrassed by his big responsibilities. At first, he only taught him to enter the Hanlin Academy to compile essays."
"But gold always shines. Less than two years after your father entered the Hanlin Academy, in addition to doing his job, he also won the second place in the martial arts examination."
"As both the top scholar in literature and the second in military power, the old emperor wanted to cultivate your father into a good minister in the court in the next ten or even twenty years, so he transferred him to a local place and trained him as an official from one of his parents."
"From the magistrate of Fuhang County in Zhejiang to the magistrate of Jizhou, in just six years, your father served as an official in ten states in Zhongzhou. First he was promoted step by step, and then demoted and promoted. Before the old emperor could make up his mind to recall him
At court, your father has already resigned and returned home."
Hearing this, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but be curious and asked: "What did my father commit and why was he demoted?"
Yao Lao glanced sideways at the young man with poor concentration, and no longer tempted him, saying: "Your father is strict with himself and lenient towards others, because he is a child of a poor family, and he understands better what the people need, and as an official
Whatever needs to be done, he has not committed any crime and will not commit any crime."
Jiang Yichen was thoughtful after hearing this.
Yao Lao said: "If we have to say that he committed a crime, it is that he touched the interests of too many people."
Jiang Yichen understood everything but had doubts: "If my father is not tolerated in the officialdom, why did he be promoted to a noble rank in the first place?"
Yao Lao said: "It's very simple. The scene at the beginning was small and the benefits were not big enough."
Yao Lao added: "Your father is the number one scholar after all, and he has been working hard since he was a child, so how can he not have a delicate heart? As a small magistrate, there are few interests that need to be balanced by him. With his ability, he can make everyone
The other party exchanged for more achievements and benefits at the expense of smaller losses. In the end, all parties gained fame and fortune, and I am very grateful to your father."
"Being promoted to an official position is just a matter of course."
"But as the stage gets bigger, your father no longer has any strong backing except the old emperor behind him. No matter how good he is, he can't make the people smile and satisfy various interest groups."
"Logically speaking, having the old emperor as a backer is strong enough, but who among the officials would not say that they are working for the emperor? Countless reference books have been submitted to the court, and the old emperor refuses to support your father, then your father
He is just a poor and lonely minister with no background, how can he compete with others?"
"Furthermore, after taking office in Fuhang County, your father took the old Lin family out of the small village of Shan'ao in Fujian. The whole family moved with your father seven or eight times in a few years. Even though the old Lin family is strong-willed, the darkness of the officialdom is also
It makes people panic all day long."
"Your father felt deeply unfilial and blamed himself. After resigning, he found a stable place for the old Lin family. He no longer had any contact with the family and took his wife to live in seclusion."
"Of course, one of the reasons why your father resigned and left was the entanglement of interests in the officialdom. This alone is not enough to make the old emperor give up his pursuit of your father."
"The most critical point lies in Jianghu!"
"Your father is very good at making friends, and he has made many old men and friends like me."
"The imperial court has always disliked Jianghu. What's more, Jianghu has been too strong for decades. The old emperor always dreamed of changing this situation and would always plan how to secretly suppress Jianghu's forces."
"If your father is just a coward and a coward, then he will definitely be reused by the old emperor."
"But your father has a heart-to-heart relationship with the Jianghu people. If your father does not abdicate and return, I am afraid that he will also become the target of liquidation by the imperial court in the future."
"That's most of your father's past story, and the other half has to be told in conjunction with the other half."
