Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

The family is ruined, the whole family is imprisoned, and such a deep hatred wants to be resolved, which is beyond the reach of human beings.

Li Changshou didn't think that he could make people let go of their hatred with just a few words, so he needed some special means to make it happen.

When it comes to military training, the people in the Imperial City Division are all laymen.

But when it comes to scouting news and finding clues, Huang Chengsi is definitely an expert among experts.

It's fine if you didn't know before, but now that you know that there are still descendants of the Huo family alive, the investigation along the way will naturally yield results.

Guan Peng cupped his hands directly, "Your Highness, I have ordered people to investigate. Back then, Huo Qing's mother was the daughter of the Wei family, and the Wei family was a century-old family in Yanzhou. Before anything happened to the Huo family, Huo Qing's father Make peace with his wife."

Zuo Zhixiong also said, "The last general also remembers that this happened. Back then, the Huo family was originally from a commoner background. General Huo relied on his military achievements to rise all the way. He happened to be stationed in Yanzhou at that time, and he had a lot of contact with the Wei family. It is also because of General Huo's character that he married the daughter of the Wei family."

Yanzhou Wei!

That is definitely not an ordinary famous family.

Like the Jiangdongfang clan, they are all aristocratic families with a long history.

Of course, unlike Fang's secret business and control of local government offices, Yanzhou Wei's has been a general for generations, so he naturally values ​​​​the Huo family who has been promoted all the way through military exploits.

"Where does Wei Shi live now?"

Li Changshou frowned. The Huo family was almost extinct, leaving only orphans and widows.

"The subordinates have ordered people to investigate in Yanzhou, but they haven't heard any news from the Wei family in Yanzhou for the time being."

Zuo Zhixiong is also a smart person, and he also sent people to investigate, but the people under him are all straightforward, how can they find out specific information?

On the contrary, if it is the Secretary of the Imperial City, he is an expert.

Guan Peng chuckled, "The Wei family in Yanzhou deliberately concealed it?"

In fact, the Secretary of the Imperial City has found clues, but there are some things that need to be reported separately, especially Zuo Zhixiong must not know.

There are different opinions about what happened back then.

After a little understanding, Li Changshou knew that the Huo family had been killed.

And the real culprits are actually the Queen and Duke Qi!
Why?

Because the Huo family was born in commoner clothes, Emperor Qianming single-handedly promoted and reused generals, and once handed over Shannan, an important place for entering Beijing, to the Huo family to guard.

This shows how much he attaches importance to the Huo family.

but!

The Huo family didn't stand in line at all, and they didn't talk to anyone. Qi Guogong showed his favor more than once, but the Huo family didn't move at all.

"So that's the case, no wonder!"

Zuo Zhixiong suddenly realized, "At the beginning, the last general also had a relationship with General Huo a few times. He heard that General Huo and his wife were in harmony, but he didn't expect that the two would reconcile in the end. That's why the Wei family of Yanzhou didn't have a relationship with General Huo at the beginning. implicated."

The Huo family was convicted of treason and ransacked the family, and according to the law, the nine families should be implicated!
As for the Wei family in Yanzhou, they can be regarded as in-laws of the Huo family, even if they are aristocratic families, they will inevitably shed a layer of skin, but because the two families reconciled a year before the accident, they survived.

"Your Highness, it seems that General Huo must have noticed something back then, so he reconciled with the Wei family, because he didn't want to implicate the Yanzhou Wei family."

Although the rise of the Huo family was promoted by Emperor Qianming, it was the Yanzhou Wei family who first appreciated it, and then they made it to the top.

Later, he even married Wei's daughter, this kindness and virtue are indeed not small.

"Since Mrs. Huo is still alive, maybe if we can persuade the major general through Mrs. Huo?"

Zuo Zhixiong understood, and then volunteered, "We will continue to investigate!"

However, Li Changshou shook his head, "Go down."

"I will retire at the end!"

After Zuo Zhixiong left, only Li Changshou and Guan Peng were left.

"Guan Peng."

"Subordinates are here!"

"Order someone to watch, but it must not be noticed by Mrs. Huo, let alone by other people."

"promise!"

……

Outside Gusu City, there is a thousand-year-old temple.

On weekdays, there are many pilgrims asking for a lottery, and the temple is also full of incense.

But in the depths of the ancient temple, outsiders cannot enter.

Only those who practice Zen asceticism live here.

One of the small courtyards looks poor and widowed, and the small courtyard is simply surrounded by fences.

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, with several fast horses in front and a carriage behind.

When they reached the gate of the small courtyard, they stopped.

"Little Lord."

The two guards got off their horses and came to the carriage, and a young man in his 20s came down directly in the carriage. He was dressed in black and had a handsome face, but his eyebrows were a little more mature.

The sharp eyes reveal a calmness that her peers don't have.

"You wait outside."

"Yes, my lord."

The guards bowed and stayed outside. In fact, this wasn't the first time they came, they would come once a year, but every time they didn't seem very optimistic.

Looking at the young man in black walking past, the guards couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Do you think the young master can enter the door this time?"

One of the guards was tall and strong, with a simple and honest smile on his face, and asked the others beside him.

"do not know."

"I think it's still very strange. The young master comes every year, but I can't see anyone every time. I think it's the same this year."

"The young master's family affairs are not for you and me to discuss!"

"I'm just bored."

Not to mention the two guards bickering over there, the young man in black came to the gate of the small courtyard.

The thin wooden gates and fences in front of me can't stop anyone at all.

However, the young man in black stopped and waited outside the door with his hands folded.

It's not the first time he's here, and it definitely won't be the last.

This place is a place where ascetics live, but no one pays too much attention to it. After all, they come here once a year, and everyone is used to it.

Half an hour later, there was still no movement.

The guards finally couldn't help it, and one of them stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, it seems that Madam still doesn't want to see you, why don't we go back?"

"It's still early."

The young man in black shook his head. He would come here every year to see the people in the yard, but it had been ten years and he had never seen them.

He will wait until dark, and if he doesn't see him, he will go back, and then he will come again in the next year.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the night slowly fell, the people in the small courtyard still did not meet each other after all.

The young man in black waited outside for several hours, without moving a step, looked up at the sky, and finally turned and left after the sun had completely set.

"Young master, shall we come again next year?"

The burly guard in black couldn't help but asked, and was immediately glared at by the guard beside him, "You are the only one who talks too much, the young master's private affairs are beyond our control, shut up!"

"Hey, I'm just asking casually. The young master has come all the way here, but every time he returns without success, am I arguing for the young master?"

"Still talking!?"

Seeing the two guards quarreling, the young man in black waved his hand, "It's business as usual, go back."

After getting into the carriage, I didn't stop at night under the darkness.

Anyway, he's used to it. It's been ten years, and he also knows why he doesn't see him, so he doesn't resent it.

And not long after the carriage left, the gate of the courtyard, which had not been opened all day, was opened, and a beautiful woman in plain clothes was seen watching the carriage leave from afar with a complicated expression.

"Mom, I don't have the face to see you..."

……

"Your Highness, that person just now was Huo Qing, oh no, he should be called Ling Wei now!"

Halfway up the mountain, several figures stopped and stood.

Looking at the scenery at the foot of the mountain from a distance, especially looking at the carriage going far away.

"He comes here every year?"

"Yes, he comes every year, but Mrs. Huo never sees him, so every year he waits in front of Mrs. Huo's yard until dark to leave, which is also an attachment."

Guan Peng had inquired about the matter clearly a long time ago, and now he brought a few experts from the Imperial City Division to accompany Li Changshou.

It is only a day's journey from Lin'an City to Gusu City, so it doesn't take much time to go fast.

"After all, he is a filial son. He already remembered when the incident happened. If it were you, what would you like to do after all these years of learning?"

Li Changshou asked casually with a smile, Guan Peng tilted his head and thought for a while, and then replied: "If a subordinate suffers from family ruin, and the whole family is ransacked and beheaded, he must not let go of hatred. The whole family washes away their grievances."

"I see. Your Highness means that Huo Qing kept his name incognito. He has lived under the name of Ling Wei until now. He has always wanted to avenge what happened back then. But why do you see Mrs. Huo every year?"

When General Huo reconciled with his wife back then, some people once commented that the Wei family in Yanzhou would not save him.

"That is his last relative in this world. If it were you, the only relative still alive, would you ignore it?"

Li Changshou asked back.

Guan Peng shook his head directly, "This subordinate won't, but it seems Mrs. Huo doesn't want to see her son."

"Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes."

Li Changshou sighed lightly, how many facts of what happened back then cannot be studied, but one thing can be seen, that is, Mrs. Huo felt guilty, that's why she didn't want to see her son.

Otherwise, why did Ling Wei open the door and watch him leave after Ling Wei left?

"Is there any result from your investigation?"

According to the investigation of the Imperial City Department, Huo Qing, a descendant of the Huo family, changed his name to Ling Wei. He had learned a lot in Tianji Building these years, and now Li Changshou just wanted to see if he was the talent he needed.

"The current Shannan Jiedu envoy was General Huo's lieutenant and confidant, but when the incident happened, he also secretly produced evidence of the Huo family collaborating with the enemy, which led to the Huo family being ransacked and wiped out."

Guan Peng knew what Li Changshou cared about, so he quickly said, "Because of the meritorious service in eradicating the Huo family, after the old Duke of Qi and the queen overcame all opinions, he replaced General Huo as the Shannan Jiedu envoy."

"However, my subordinates have recently ordered people to investigate some clues. Before the Huo family's accident, General Huo's deputy received a lot of benefits from the old Duke of Qi in private, and even gave his younger sister to the old Duke of Qi as a concubine."

"Later, something happened to the Huo family, and this person made great progress, and gave his daughter to the current Duke of Qi as a concubine."

"In addition, this Liao has served as the Shannan Jiedu envoy for many years, secretly searched for the people's fat and blood, and secretly stationed more than [-] troops, which is far beyond the appointment of the court, and there are countless criminal evidences, all of which have been investigated by his subordinates!"

The secret investigations by the Secretary of the Imperial City alone are enough to ransack the family and exterminate the family, but Li Changshou never thought of presenting those incriminating evidence.

If the Shannan Jiedu envoy is finished, wouldn't the prince cut off his own arm?
Besides, the Huo family's blood feud also needs someone to bear it.

"Tonight, at midnight, do it according to the plan!"

Li Changshou looked at the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. This place was originally a clean place, and no one would come here.

So if everything goes well, he only needs tonight to get what he wants.

"promise!"

In the distance, the carriage has gradually disappeared from sight.

Li Changshou looked at the character information displayed on the system, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising slightly.

Huo family's descendant, Huo family's young general Huo Qing, today's descendant of Tianjilou Ling Wei is indeed a rare talent.

At the age of 25, he is already a young master.

Of course, it was the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain that caught his attention the most. The beautiful figure in plain clothes looked so cute in the night wind.
