At this moment, Liu Gang came in quickly from the other end of the corridor: "Sir, boss, when I arrived at the shop just now, I found a letter in the shop."
"A letter?" Chen Heng took it and opened it. "It's from my eldest brother." She quickly gave it to Xie Jian.
Three full sheets of paper, writing about what happened eight years ago.
Back then, the eldest brother of the Xie family met Duke Yu, his eldest son Yu Qi, Tang Zixing and the fourth prince at Baliting in Nanqi. Just when he wanted to get closer to listen to what they were saying, he was discovered by guards in casual clothes.
The Fourth Prince ordered his guards to kill him, but was stopped by Tang Zixing. The two had a quarrel. The Fourth Prince was so angry that he pulled out the sword from the guard's hand to kill him, but Tang Zixing stood in front of him.
Tang Zixing probably didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would actually kill him. He was stabbed through the heart by a sword and died.
When the eldest brother of the Xie family was trying to escape, he was hit hard from behind by the guards.
When he woke up again, he had become Tang Zixing.
The first time he regained consciousness was when Xie Qi grabbed her in front of the Dali Temple, crying and shouting that he was her son and asked why she didn't recognize her. He was a little overwhelmed, because this woman hadn't grabbed him for the first time. When he asked someone to drive her away, he didn't expect the woman to run headfirst into the Dali Temple and die.
Over the years, he could recall some things intermittently. In order to prevent him from remembering, Duke Yu would ask someone to perform a spell every year. His body was originally seriously injured, and after such frequent spells, his body was seriously depleted.
The letter also mentioned several of his trusted friends in the Dali Temple who might be able to help Xie Jian.
The next few sentences are about Yu. The eldest brother of the Xie family hopes that Xie Jian can let Yu go, as well as her child with Tang Zixing. After all, Tang Zixing died because of him, and Yu Qi's two children, saying that they know nothing.
In the three-page letter, the eldest brother of the Xie family said nothing else, no apology, self-blame, regret, he did not mention anything, just like he did last night, he did not say a word, he just told the story.
There was no mention of the crown prince either, and it was obvious that the crown prince was no longer alive when he saw him.
He knew even less than Xie Jian.
After looking at the letter for a long time, Xie Jian took out a tinder and burned it.
In the next few days, everyone in the imperial capital said it was a case involving the Duke's Mansion, but no one could tell the specific circumstances.
The death of the eldest brother of the Xie family also brought the case to an end.
When Chen Heng occasionally walked past the gate of Yu Jungong's mansion, she only saw the door closed and the white cloth fluttering.
It was not until September that my eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Xia, came out of her room. She had lost a lot of weight and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Just when Chen Heng thought everything would return to normal, she heard that when Yu took her daughter and two nephews to Fengguo Temple for a sacrifice, the horse was suddenly frightened and accidentally fell off the hillside. Except for her daughter, she and the two nephews of the Yu family all died unfortunately, especially Yu, who had a branch pierced through the heart.
When Chen Heng heard the news, her first reaction was that it was Xie Jian who did it. Although the road to Fengguo Temple had steep slopes, even if someone fell off, it would not be fatal.
But since Xie Jian had promised her, he would never break his promise. Chen Heng still had this trust in him.
When Xie Jian returned, he answered her doubt: "As a father, how could I not seek justice for my son?"
"Are you talking about the Tang family in Yuezhou?"
Xie Jian hummed lightly, "Over the years, they've been forced to act as if nothing had happened due to pressure from the Crown Prince and the influence of the Duke's Mansion and the court. Now that the Duke's Mansion has fallen, they're naturally taking action."
"What about Yu's daughter?"
"He was taken back by the Tang family." Xie Jian said indifferently. He was afraid that his life would not be easy. The people of the Tang family hated the people of the Yu family. Even though this child was Tang Zixing's flesh and blood, he also had the blood of the Yu family.
