Chapter 89: From Reality to Illusion, Multitasking
When Chen An received the task from Pei Xiu, he was very confused at first.
But Pei Xiu emphasized that the origins of this father and daughter might be very problematic, and might even be related to the current conspiracy between the Cao Gang and the county magistrate.
After much deliberation, Chen An decided to report the truth.
He did have a crush on the girl named Xiaohong, but because of his admiration, he hoped that she was innocent.
What's more, "concerned" may not refer to participation, but may mean being included in the list of human sacrifices...
Then Chen An had to make sure that there was no problem with the two of them.
In fact, he didn't think there would be any problem with the other party.
This old ape head appeared in Dongting Lake about ten years ago, and that was when the Chen family began to prosper.
He had Xiaohong with him at that time, and they treated each other as father and daughter.
For ten whole years, this old ape-head has been making a living by fishing in Dongting Lake. He has never done anything unusual and has lived an ordinary life like any other normal fisherman.
No one knows the real name of the old ape head.
He got this nickname just because his arms were strangely long, like monkey arms.
Over time, everyone simply regarded this nickname as the name of the old ape head, and he himself accepted it.
But this is not a rare thing, because among the large number of fishermen in Dongting Lake, 50 to 60 percent are illegal immigrants. It is normal that they don’t know their real names or are unwilling to say their real names.
As for Xiaohong's real name...
There should be only two people in the world who know this, one is the old ape head, and the other... is Chen An.
Chen An didn't think about investigating her background.
But this time, he must investigate to prove her innocence.
"Her real name is Hong Xueshao. Hong is not her first name, but her surname."
Chen An said seriously, "She is from Dongning County, Liang State."
The token in his hand was engraved with sound magic, which could be used for brief communication, but it required a large amount of spiritual energy.
It seems convenient, but basically only the other party can contact him unilaterally.
With Chen An's spiritual energy, he couldn't hold on for a few breaths.
However, if the matter is important, it is generally necessary to communicate face to face, otherwise there is the inevitable risk of impersonation.
Pei Xiu was silent for a while, as if he was urgently sending someone to retrieve the information.
Since he is from Liang, it would be easy for them to investigate.
What's more, this name is not easy to have the same name as others.
The "Tu Zhengguan" originally relied on the power of the palace and the court, so it was very easy for him to investigate a person from Liang.
Soon, Pei Xiu received a reply.
He paused and said, "Chen An, Hongxueshao of Dongning County..."
“No such person exists.”
Chen An's pupils constricted, and he immediately said, "Impossible, she told me this herself. She couldn't possibly lie to me about this, and it doesn't make any sense at all."
"She can't gain anything from me by fabricating an identity... especially since it's something like this that can be easily verified as true or false."
"Don't worry."
Pei Xiu pondered and said, "Then tell me in detail what you know about this identity and everything she has told you about it. The more details the better."
Chen An said: "I'm not in a hurry."
Pei Xiu said: "Okay, okay, you are not in a hurry."
Chen An: “…”
He was silent for a while, then said quietly, "She said that the Hong family is a wealthy family in Dongning County. They run a cloth business, and the owner of the family is kind and generous..."
It really takes care of every detail.
It was so serious that he even went into detail about the pattern of fur on the belly of a dog raised by the Hong family and what kind of tree was planted in the corner of the house.
Pei Xiu looked at the changes in the file in his hand. The people over there acted quickly and had already given out all the information about the Hong family.
turn out……
Exactly the same as Chen An described!
Pei Xiu couldn't help but be amazed.
If it wasn't clearly written that the head of the Hong family had no daughter, only a son, he would have believed it.
But if you are an outsider, you can't know the details of the Hong family at all. This is really weird!
This Hong Xueshao is like a ghost living in the Hong family...
Pei Xiu was unable to make a decision and could only tell Chen Kuang the information as it was.
…
Qi Sibai frowned: "This Xiaohong, could it be that she is still immersed in the illusion and mistakenly believes that she is the daughter of the Hong family?"
Chen Kuang shook his head: "What you said before, that you were driven crazy by the demon sword, should also be that you thought you had another identity, and this identity would be very different from the original identity, even completely opposite."
"However, one thing will not change, and that is their names!"
"This is also the reason why they eventually fell into the illusion."
"But this Xiaohong seems to have fabricated an identity for herself based on reality."
"However, the many details Pei Xiu provided actually prove that her identity is indeed true."
"Considering that Tie Baiyuan values her so much and sees her as the key reason why he can let go of the illusion, I have an idea—"
Chen Kuang paused, then pondered and remained silent.
Qi Sibai waited quietly, but Shen Meinan beside him could no longer sit still and quickly slapped the table: "Hurry up and tell me! What is the identity of this Xiaohong?"
This girl seems to have been following this matter as a suspense drama.
Now that the chapter was interrupted at the exciting part, I was naturally impatient.
Chen Kuang then said:
"This Xiaohong might be someone from the illusion."
Qi Sibai's pupils constricted: "Someone from the illusion?"
