After returning back, Qu Jiyuan wanted to cook something for Li Yuanxiu himself, but seeing that Li Yuanxiu was tired and it was too late, he ate with Li Yuanxiu what the servant had prepared.

After eating, the servant packed up his things and left. The two of them stayed on the bed chatting without washing up as usual. They sat in the living room without speaking for a long time.

Until Li Yuanxiu asked, "Jiyuan, don't you have something to say?"

Qu Jiyuan looked up at him for a while before saying, "Have you read Governor Xue's letter?"

"Look, you asked him to write it, right?"

"You know what?"

Li Yuanxiu smiled: "It's not you, how could a governor meddle in the affairs of a small county magistrate?"

"Well, actually, I didn't ask him to write it. I just happened to tell him about you. He said that someone in the capital might have caused you to stumble. Do you have any guesses?"

Qu Jiyuan looked at Li Yuanxiu, and Li Yuanxiu also looked at him, Qu Jiyuan suddenly felt a little flustered, he didn't want to continue this topic, he even thought, would it be better if he solved everything secretly by himself?Although Li Yuanxiu would definitely be angry that way, it was better than letting him face the hatred directly, it was the deepest scar in his heart.

He knew that Li Yuanxiu probably didn't want to open that wound until he was not sure enough, and maybe he avoided those things intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Yuanxiu looked at him for a while, then sighed: "Did you find out everything about me in the capital?"

"……nor."

"You went to the capital to find out about me, right?"

"I……"

"What have you found?" Li Yuanxiu's voice became cold, even sharp, and Qu Jiyuan could feel the aggression in his voice.

"Yuanxiu, listen to me, I'm not...I just want to help you..."

"I know, what did I find out."

Looking at Li Yuanxiu's cold expression, Qu Jiyuan was a little undecided whether to speak or not.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, and don't mention it again in the future."

"I said." Qu Jiyuan looked at Li Yuanxiu, Li Yuanxiu looked very calm: "I know something, I got some evidence, these evidence may not be acceptable to you for a while, but I can guarantee that these are true .”

"Bring it."

"Li Yuanxiu, I want you to promise me that no matter what you think after reading it, you must tell me."

Li Yuanxiu looked at Qu Jiyuan, but didn't say anything. The two stalemate for a long time. Qu Jiyuan sighed, and took out the jade pendant that he had been carrying since he got it from his bosom.

Li Yuanxiu looked at the jade pendant in Qu Jiyuan's hand, he was a little dazed at first, then he suddenly opened his eyes wide, rushed over and squeezed Qu Jiyuan's hand tightly, Qu Jiyuan had never felt such a big jade pendant in Li Yuanxiu's hand. Strength, his hand hurt from being grabbed by Li Yuanxiu, he felt Li Yuanxiu's trembling, wanted to reach out to support him, raised his hand and finally put it down.

Li Yuanxiu held the jade pendant carefully in the palm of his hand, and kept his head down. Qu Jiyuan was a little worried, and took a step forward. Li Yuanxiu seemed to be awakened, and took two steps back abruptly. Qu Jiyuan stopped and frowned and looked at it. he.

From the news he knew, when Li Yuanxiu's parents were killed, Li Yuanxiu escaped for some reason, but he also faced all the facts. They met Li Yuanxiu today, and they couldn't see his experience at all. What a painful past, I have to say that this really surprised Qu Jiyuan, and how did Li Yuanxiu do it?How much pain did he endure to put on his usual look?

"Where did you get it?"

"On a barren hill near Liangcheng in the capital, a group of robbers suddenly appeared there more than [-] years ago. They robbed houses and houses, and often blocked roads and robbed on the pretext of robbing the rich and helping the poor. Fortunately, no one was injured, because the barren hills are easy to defend and difficult to attack. , The government has been doing nothing to them.

More than ten years ago, this gang of robbers suddenly changed their style. They intercepted a rich man who had moved back to the capital from other places, robbed him of all his finances, and then killed him. The strange thing is that the home of that rich man was also robbed. One day, a fire burned down the rich family's home. "

After Qu Jiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuanxiu. Li Yuanxiu stood straight and looked at him without any reaction, waiting for the next sentence.

"The rich man has a pair of sons and daughters, a pair of sisters and brothers. The younger brother was very naughty when he was a child and liked to ride horses. He seldom took a carriage along the way, and always ran around with his servants.

When the rich family was robbed, the young master was following far behind with a servant. When the young master saw the robber killing his family, he was hugged by the servant and hid in the nearby forest. He witnessed the slaughter of his relatives. He took away the only jade pendant from the young master, and it turned out that the servant was actually the agent of the robber. For the convenience of reporting, he deliberately instigated the young master to play along the road, but he also saved the young master's life. "

"The young master hid alone in the mountains and forests for a day until the government in the capital brought people over. One of the people who came with him was a friend of his father's. Only when the young master saw acquaintances did he dare to call for help..."

"Enough!" Li Yuanxiu said suddenly, and Qu Jiyuan could hear the feeling of gnashing of teeth: "Tell me, where did it come from!"

Qu Jiyuan glanced at him, bit the tip of his tongue, he had already said this, and it was impossible to turn back.

"I got news of the robbers. They were all wiped out soon after that case. I continued to investigate, and God paid off. At that time, many women were imprisoned in the robber's den, and they were all taken to the mountain. Those who were in charge of doing odd jobs, these women were released after being rescued, and one of them was actually a good friend of the second boss in the cottage, and that second boss... was the servant next to the young master back then."

"After returning to the mountain, the second master felt that he had sinned deeply, and he also guessed that the people behind the scenes would never let them go, so he took the jade pendant from the young master and gave it to his friend along with a book that he had written down. She must keep these things well, and if the young master comes to the door one day, she will give them to the young master."

When Qu Jiyuan said this, he took out another booklet, and he handed it to Li Yuanxiu, but Li Yuanxiu backed away as if facing a beast.

Qu Jiyuan withdrew his hand: "That's it for tonight, the rest, we will..."

"The account book, I'll look at it later, tell me everything you know."

"When I found that woman, she was on the verge of dying. According to her, although they were released, they had been stared at all the time. She had been terrified for so many years, and all her energy was exhausted. She For so many years, I only hoped for you to appear, wanted to hand over the evidence to you in person, and wanted to see you take revenge with her own eyes. She knew that those robbers deserved their crimes for killing people, but she couldn't swallow that breath. She felt that the most punishment should be Those behind the scenes are the ones who forced others to commit crimes, and then wiped them all out in the end, so she hopes to see the day when you will be avenged."

Li Yuanxiu's expression was calm, Qu Jiyuan didn't know what he was thinking until his eyes turned to the account book in Qu Jiyuan's hand.

"Have you read it?"

Qu Jiyuan nodded.

"There...is there someone I know well?"

Qu Jiyuan nodded again after a long time.

"People I know, what you know..." Li Yuanxiu couldn't believe his guess, and fell heavily backwards.

"Yuanxiu!" Qu Jiyuan quickly stepped forward to support him.

Li Yuanxiu held Qu Jiyuan's arm tightly: "Tell me, I'm thinking about it, right?"

He stared closely at Qu Jiyuan's face. The obvious pain and distress on Qu Jiyuan's face completely shattered his hope.

He stood up abruptly and pushed Qu Jiyuan away.

"Yuanxiu, what are you doing? Are you okay?" Qu Jiyuan stood on the spot, although Li Yuanxiu was pushing him, in fact he had no strength in his hands at all, and his whole body was even more wobbly.

"I want to be alone for a while."

"I'll stay with you."

"No, really no, you have to let me think about it." Li Yuanxiu turned around and waved his hand: "Go back, let me think about it alone."

Qu Jiyuan watched Li Yuanxiu turn around and enter the back room, he wanted to follow, but Li Yuanxiu had already closed the door from the inside.

Qu Jiyuan clenched his fists. Li Yuanxiu should have guessed what happened back then. He just couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to think about it. Before he didn't have enough ability to reveal the truth, he always chose this way of evasion.

Qu Jiyuan put his hands on the door and said after a while, "Then I'll go back tonight, you... don't think too much."

Li Yuanxiu listened to Qu Jiyuan's footsteps gradually drifting away, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand, the memories that he deliberately avoided flooded in, tears fell on the jade pendant, he couldn't control those tears.

He thought of that day when his parents died in front of him. He was afraid and panicked, and the only person he relied on also pulled away. When he saw his uncle, he took his uncle as the last straw and held on tightly. Don't dare to let go.

He didn't remember when he started to doubt his uncle, but occasionally caught the complicated look on his uncle's face when he looked at him. He didn't dare to think deeply, but he couldn't help doubting it. The years of being a father.

However, today, Qu Jiyuan opened everything in front of him. He knew that Li Yuanxiu was for him, which was too sudden for him.

Li Yuanxiu sat all night, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see his parents and sister stretching out their hands to pull him, asking him why he didn't dare to face the truth for so many years, why didn't he avenge them.

Li Yuanxiu sat all night, and Qu Jiyuan sat on the big tree in the county government office to accompany him all night. He saw that the lights in Li Yuanxiu's room were not turned off all night, and he didn't hear any sound. In the morning, the servants and government officials came to invite people, and there was no movement. , Qu Jiyuan jumped out of the county office and walked over from behind. When he reached the door, he slammed on Li Yuanxiu's door.

"Go away, let me go."

"Open the door, it's me."

Qu Jiyuan heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and when he was about to hit the door, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and then Qu Jiyuan was pulled in, and the door closed again.
