Chapter 648: Fabricated Truth
Old man Su walked in, the sadness on his face gone.
"Damn it, that bastard Xiaoliu must have faked his death!" Old Man Su said with certainty.
There was a surge of excitement in his voice.
Tang Bao was delighted.
I actually guessed it right!
"Dad, how did you know?"
Tang Bao looked at Old Man Su with a pair of big eyes with distinct black and white, sparkling with light.
Old Man Su was stunned.
"Daughter, didn't you say that?"
He just heard it outside the door.
Tang Bao, “…”
Old Man Su and Tang Bao, father and daughter, looked at each other.
Tang Bao blinked.
"Oh, yes, Dad, you see I didn't cry..." Tang Bao said stutteringly.
"That's it!" Old Man Su immediately revived. "Your Sixth Brother loved you so much. If he really died on the battlefield, would you not cry? Now that you're not crying, it must mean your Sixth Brother is fine! If he's fine, and you let Changsheng bring his weapon back, he must be faking his death!"
Tang Bao, “…”
stunned.
It turns out that Dad’s ideas are so clear and reasonable!
She just said it casually, and her father was able to sort out a complete thread for her!
After listening to what Old Man Su said, Mrs. Su thought more and more that it made sense.
Or, she knows that something is wrong, but she would rather ignore it.
"His father, are we still going to hold Xiaoliu's funeral?" Old Mrs. Su asked hesitantly.
"Do it!" Old Man Su said firmly, "Not only do it, but do it big! Do it big!"
"Dad, why?" Boss Su lifted the door curtain and walked in.
The eyes that were originally red, swollen and sad became bright.
Apparently, I heard it at the door, too.
Tang Bao felt that she should lift the curtain and go to the door to look at the wind.
Old Man Su looked at his eldest son and taught him, "Since Xiaoliu went to such great lengths to fake his own death, there must be a compelling reason. I'm thinking he might be planning something big."
When Old Man Su said this, he nodded seriously.
He added, "In this case, he must escape and let everyone know that Su Liuhu has died in battle..."
"...Although Xiaoliu usually looks impatient, he is actually quite clever."
"After two years of training at the border, I'm no longer a rookie. I even have a few soldiers under my command, so I'm considered an officer..."
"He must have known that as soon as he died, Changsheng would definitely do everything he could to bring back his ashes and weapons..."
"He even hid Changsheng from us. He knew that if Changsheng came back, his family would be heartbroken after learning of his death, yet he still did this. Boss, think about it, why did your brother do this?"
Boss Su, “…”
Forgive him for not following his father's line of thought.
"It should be to spread the news of Xiaoliu's death." The door curtain was lifted and Su Laosan walked in.
"Not only that, I'm afraid someone is also watching our family." Su Laosi also walked in.
"To verify whether Xiaoliu is really dead, someone will naturally come to our house to investigate." Su Laowu also walked in.
After listening to his three sons, Old Man Su nodded in agreement.
Tang Bao, “…”
Almost fell to my knees!
She just said it casually, and not only did her father provide a complete story line, but her brothers also put together the cause and effect.
I believed everything I said!
Tang Bao looked at her father, then at her three brothers, and was filled with admiration.
It turns out that the fifth brother’s big imagination is not because of his good education, but because of his genes.
Tang Bao looked at her elder brother again, as if he had just suddenly realized something, and felt a sense of sympathy.
Because I didn’t think so much about it just now.
"Dad, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, why are you all here? What are you talking about?" Su Laoer lifted the curtain, walked in, and asked in confusion.
He felt that the atmosphere in the room was unusual.
However, neither the Su family father nor the son in the room responded to Su Lao Er's words.
"Second brother, what's wrong?" asked Old Man Su.
Su Laoer remembered the purpose of his visit.
"Dad, the county magistrate has come to pay his respects." Su Laoer said.
Although County Magistrate Zheng had been transferred long ago, the new county magistrate should be from the Yang family, so he treated the Su family very politely.
Over the years, Fengqi County has had a clean and honest administration, and there has never been any evil or bullying of men and women.
Maybe, in some dark corner, but definitely not on the table.
After hearing what Su Laoer said, Old Man Su immediately said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, you two follow me to greet the county magistrate! Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you two, tell people to buy more paper money. If there's not enough in town, go to the county town to buy more! Fifth Brother, you go watch over your nephews and make them cry loudly and hard. If anyone cries insincerely, kick them!"
Old Man Su was like a general who commanded with confidence and made plans, and he assigned the tasks with decisiveness and ruthlessness.
That spirit is completely different from the grief-stricken look before he came in, who was completely hopeless at having to see his loved one die!
Tang Bao suddenly felt that her search was absolutely right!
My parents are old, and it is a hundred times better to hold on to them than to hurt yourself because of sadness.
Su Lao Er naturally noticed the changes in Old Man Su.
So, instead of rushing out, he asked suspiciously, "Dad, is...something wrong?"
There's something wrong with his father's mental state!
"What's the matter?!" Old Man Su glared, "Your brother is so young, he hasn't even got married yet..."
Old Man Su paused here, pressed the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and gathered his emotions so as not to be exposed in front of the county magistrate.
"...your brother doesn't even have anyone to smash pots and banners with. Let Dad, let Dad..."
Old man Su seemed to be choking and couldn't continue speaking.
Immediately, he shook his head and walked out with a staggering step, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
Tang Bao, “…”
Staring blankly at Old Man Su's back.
Dad, I feel like I just met you today!
When Su Laoer saw that Old Man Su was so sad, he hurriedly supported Old Man Su.
"Dad, Xiaoliu is gone, but you still have us..."
Su Laoer's voice was indeed choked with sobs and his throat was hoarse.
Tang Bao looked at Su Laoer with sympathy.
Second brother, you are late.
Su Lao Er, who arrived a step late, became the only one among the Su brothers who was kept in the dark.
Su Laosan and others followed the instructions of Old Man Su and went out to prepare for the funeral in a grand manner.
Tang Bao looked at Old Lady Su and asked, "Mom, aren't you going to tell my second brother?"
"Your second brother is a straightforward person and works in the government office. If he knew the truth, there is no guarantee that it would not be discovered by others." Old Mrs. Su shook her head and said.
Tang Bao, “…Oh.”
In fact, this truth was just made up by my father.
