As for the manuscript in Fengming's hand, it was about Uncle Xin Jiu's identity!
Uncle Xin Jiu's hometown is in Yuncheng, and he was indeed a top master in the Daqing underworld back then. His excellent marksmanship was well-known in the underworld, and many people knew him.
The reason why he ended up in Mingcheng was because there was an internal conflict in his organization. The previous leader disappeared inexplicably and there was no time to appoint a successor. As a result, all those who had the hope of becoming the next leader began to make their own moves, hoping to take the position themselves.
Uncle Xin Jiu was also one of the qualified to inherit the position of leader, but he didn't really want to be the leader. He originally joined the organization because he and the previous leader were close friends, regardless of age, and was therefore forced to join by the former leader. At that time, the former leader disappeared, and he was determined to track down the former leader's whereabouts, but this action made others suspect that he had ulterior motives.
When he received a message one time about someone suspected to be the former leader and went to investigate, other competitors took the opportunity to capture his wife and three-year-old son. When he realized that the news about the former leader was actually a false rumor spread by others to lure the tiger away from the mountain, he rushed home, only to see the corpses of his wife and son. The room was full of corpses, and not even a single servant was spared.
Of course he was not let off either. How could the enemy who killed his wife and children let him off!
His enemies had ambushed him at his house long ago, determined to wipe him out completely. Fortunately, he was a skilled martial artist and was able to escape with only serious injuries.
Later, under the care of his loyal subordinates, he recovered his health by hiding from place to place, planned a perfect revenge plan, and retaliated against his enemy's family in the same way. However, he himself was hunted down by his enemy who had already seized the position of the head of the sect, and was dying and ended up in Mingcheng. Later, he was rescued by Xin Wu's father, and lived in Mingcheng under a false name for so many years.
Later, he married Xinyi's mother and had Xinyi. In fact, Uncle Xin Jiu was reluctant to let Xinyi go to Daqing. It was not because he had lost her once as he said on the surface, so he was particularly worried and reluctant to let her out of his sight, but because Xinyi looked too much like him, and he was afraid that Xinyi would be recognized by his enemies when she returned to Yuncheng, Daqing.
Uncle Xin Jiu was originally unwilling to reveal his life story. He had already decided to take this secret into the coffin with him.
But he didn't expect that Xinyi would actually meet the former leader at the bottom of the cliff. What he didn't expect was that it was the former leader who saved his daughter and asked his daughter to return to the place full of hidden dangers to send him a letter. For Xinyi, he had to tell Fengming the truth.
Yes, he has confirmed that the white-bearded man who saved Xinyi at the bottom of the cliff is the former leader who disappeared inexplicably more than 20 years ago. It turned out that he was trapped at the bottom of the cliff.
The wooden token Xinyi showed everyone was the unique leader's token, granted to the organization's top leaders. Painted with dark iron, it was a cyan wood color, with the organization's emblem on one side and a blank space on the other. At first glance, it could be mistaken for an ordinary wooden token. However, it was said that the token contained information related to the organization's founder's ultimate martial arts skills. To date, no one has yet deciphered its secrets, a secret that generations of leaders have dedicated their lives to cracking.
Although Uncle Xin Jiu's enemy succeeded in usurping the throne, Uncle Xin Jiu would send people to inquire about some information from time to time over the years, and that person's position as the leader was not very secure because he never found the leader's order. The reason why Uncle Xin Jiu's efforts to find the leader were so suspicious was also because others suspected that he was actually looking for the leader's order.
The small wooden plaque that Feng Xiyun found on Uncle Xin Jiu was the identity certificate of each of their leaders. One side was also the emblem of the organization, and the other side was the surname of the hall master. It seems that Uncle Xin Jiu's original family should be Zhu.
Fengming wrote a heart-wrenching feature on Uncle Xin Jiu's story, titled "When Will Revenge End? Jianghu Night Talk: Twenty Years of Revenge!"
"Oh, what a pity! I can't send it out now. What a pity."
Fengming leaned in Tunan's arms and sighed.
"It's okay. We're going to solve these problems now. What you have now is just one person's one-sided account. Maybe you can find more details along the way. Stories are more interesting when they are full of details."
"Yeah, how do you know that what the old man said is right? He said he didn't want to be the head, but does that mean he really didn't want to?"
Su Wei chatted lazily on another horse. The sun was so comfortable that it made Su Wei a little lazy.
"But I believe Uncle Jiu wouldn't lie to us..."
"Oh, Sister Xin Wu, you're so gullible. I think your Uncle Nine looks cunning and treacherous. He makes him out to be a pure and innocent lotus in this story. I don't believe someone who can easily become a high-ranking official like that can be so innocent and naive."
Feng Yuyun rode between Su Wei and Xin Wu, and tried to persuade Xin Wu with a look of disappointment.
"Yes, Sister Xin Wu, I also think that Uncle Xin Jiu doesn't look like a good person. Are you really willing to let him manage your Xin family's property like this?"
Although Xin Wu wanted to argue for Uncle Xin Jiu, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she didn't really know this steward whom she thought she was very close to. But she really didn't want to stay in Mingcheng. Compared to him, Uncle Xin Jiu was the person she trusted the most. Anyway, her Xin family's business was thriving under Uncle Xin Jiu's management, so she simply authorized Uncle Xin Jiu to help her manage it.
When Xin Wei grows up, he can choose whether to go back to run the family business. Before that, Uncle Xin Jiu just needs to report and send them money every year. Feng Ming jokingly said that this was like hiring an ancient version of a professional manager, but she didn't understand what a professional manager meant.
"I trust Uncle Jiu... Hey, you guys must be careful on this trip. From what Uncle Jiu said, the organization he was in before was not small, and they were all martial artists with great martial arts skills. We should let Captain Ye accompany you."
"It's okay, don't worry. Ye Xuwen should catch up soon. He arranged for people to come after us. They are all martial artists. I don't believe they can defeat the secret guards who I haven't even seen before. Don't you agree?"
Fengming raised his voice and shouted to the air around him. A light breeze blew by, and a leaf fell.
"Tsk, boring, these people are too rigid."
“It’s their duty!”
As everyone was chatting on the road, the shape of a town appeared in the distance.
"Princess, Zhi Ge is about to arrive. Let's spend the night here."
