"It is said that your father was a master of martial arts, but as time went by, it was impossible to find out where he learned his skills. After the pirate invasion, he fled with your mother. You were not even born at that time."
"Not only did he escape with your mother, but it's said that he used the money he stole from pirates to buy the shops in Jiangnan. This is what people who are investigating this matter learned from people who were involved with the shops back then. He bought shops in three provinces."
"I don't know where he escaped to in the end, but he goes to collect rent every few years. Your rent collection day is coming soon. Do you have to go this time?"
Ji Mingxuan asked.
"Ayue and I have this plan. Either we go together or I go alone. It all depends on whether Ayue is free!"
Shanshui didn't hide it either. Ji Mingxuan already knew everything, so there was no point in hiding it.
"Yes. It is said that your father originally planned to place your mother in a safe place and then join my father's team to fight pirates. But your mother held him back. There was nothing he could do. He couldn't abandon your mother when she was still pregnant with you."
"Later, your mother had a difficult labor when giving birth to you. Your father spent a large sum of money but was unable to save her. He only managed to save you. After you were one month old, he took you away from Jiangnan."
"It is said that because he saved your mother, your father couldn't save your grandparents. He always felt guilty and wanted to go to the battlefield. But then your mother passed away, and you were so young. He wanted to entrust you to someone else's care, but whenever he gave you to someone else, you would cry. So he didn't go and took you away. Over the years, those who knew your father back then thought he had found another woman. Those we went to inquire about the news also said something about your father's situation."
After Ji Mingxuan finished speaking, he sighed.
It would be a shame if he didn't join his father's team with such excellent kung fu.
If he had joined his father's army back then, he might still have an official position now.
"Master Ji, could you please tell me the specific information of the person who knew my father?"
Shanshui thought for a moment and said.
"That's no problem. You're going to collect rent this year anyway. When you get to Jiangnan, go directly to Fuzhou to find my dad. He'll have someone take you to him."
Ji Mingxuan said.
"Okay, thank you, Master Ji!"
Shanshui picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine for Ji Mingxuan, then toasted him and drank it himself.
He still felt something was wrong.
If this is true, then why didn't his father let him take the imperial examinations, neither the civil nor the military exams, but still taught him a lot of things?
If you really wanted him to be a hunter in the countryside, why did you teach him so strictly in the first place?
When the day to collect rent comes, he must go to Jiangnan to find out the truth.
"Master Ji, the second and third brothers of Zhuiyun Tower have already been informed."
At this time, Mingzhu walked in.
I don’t know if it was because the two of them were too engrossed in the conversation that they didn’t even hear Mingzhu coming over. It was like she just barged in suddenly.
"Have you explained? Okay, then I'll go take a look!"
Ji Mingxuan stood up happily.
When he stood up, he remembered that Shanshui was still there, so he asked, "Shanshui, do you want to go and see?"
"No, Master Ji, please go and get busy! Thank you for what happened today. When Master Ji is done with his work, I will definitely treat you to a good feast!"
Shanshui stood up and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
"Okay! I'll go over first. Mingzhu, you take Shanshui out!"
Ji Mingxuan gave some instructions and hurried to the cell.
