Invincible son

Chapter 52 052 [Hook sinking]

Yongrenfang, Kyoto, the back residence of the Shen Mansion.

On the southeast corner, mountains and pools are built, bamboos and trees are gathered, and there are wind pavilions and water pavilions.

Shen Danmo sat leaning on the railing, wearing a palace satin, plain snow silk skirt, and a jasper hairpin in her hair.

With her left hand resting on the railing, her right hand was holding a thin piece of letter paper, and the envelope was casually placed on the stone table beside her.

"... Regarding the case in the second year of Jianping, the imperial court had already reached a conclusion. All those involved in the case were convicted. It has been more than [-] years since the incident. I don't understand why you brought it up suddenly. As for my opinion, you don't want me to say that I don't know why. Then I can only keep silent. Don’t talk about these things in the future, I prefer to hear some interesting anecdotes from you. After all, you also said that I have little knowledge and experience, so I have to find some way to make up for it.”

Shen Danmo looked at the significantly improved handwriting on the paper, felt a little complacent and couldn't help laughing: "Stingy and cunning guy!"

"Recently, I have been busy exercising and have no time to study ancient books, so I have nothing new for the time being. As for the bandits you mentioned, thank you for reminding me. In fact, I also have some ideas. Please refer to them together. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that near the capital The bandits must have hidden secrets. Although I don’t know how many bandits gathered in the Hengduan Mountains, they have been able to persevere from spring to the present. Obviously someone secretly supported them. I don’t know about Chaotang, but if you think about it carefully, the backers behind the bandits There must be a general in the army, and perhaps a wealthy family involved."

"Let me tell you an interesting story. The eldest young master of the Marquis of Fengcheng, who is the nephew of my aunt, did not know who listened to the instigation, and brought a group of men to the village to make trouble. After I made a fuss, Persuaded with affection and reason, this Young Master Li came to his senses. Not only did he decide to change his past, but he even sent someone a sum of money to appease the frightened farmers. I didn't want to accept it, but he If I don’t accept it, I will turn my face, so I had no choice but to accept the money. From this, we can see that there are still many good people in the capital, and the bad people are few after all, but they are hidden deeper, don’t you think so?”

"...I have great admiration for Mr. Shen. If it is convenient for you, please send my regards to your father."

Seeing Pei Yue talking about Li Zijun, Shen Danmo couldn't help laughing, but felt that the young man was merciless when he satirized people.

However, when she read the letter again and noticed a few words in it, she frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and suddenly realized after a while, and then sighed softly: "You are too cautious, but since you were born In that environment, if it weren't for this, it would be difficult for you to persist until now."

She got up and put away the letter, then left the water pavilion and walked slowly to the outer study.

Mo Moyun didn't go to Taige today, he was flipping through some old documents in the study, and there were several thick stacks on the table in front of him.

Shen Danmo came to the table, bowed and said, "Daddy."

Mo'er didn't look up, just nodded and smiled, "Why is Mo'er here?"

The girl glanced at the papers on the table and asked, "What is Dad looking for?"

Mo Moyun covered the manuscript he was reading, pointed to the side and said, "Sit down first."

Then he asked unhurriedly: "What did Pei Yue say in the letter to you?"

Shen Danmo replied obediently: "He asked his daughter to say hello to his father on his behalf, and also said something about the bandits."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"He told his daughter that there must be a general in the army secretly supporting the bandit, and it is very likely that he is a member of Wu Xun's family. Although he said it very cryptically, my daughter can see that what he wants to say is that Uncle Dingyuan also has suspected."

"Pei Rong... This person has a surly temperament, great ambition and little talent, so it's not unusual for him to do such a thing."

"Daddy means, then Ding Yuanbo really hooked up with bandits?"

"The children of Taige searched for a long time, but found no direct evidence to convict him, but through some clues, it is speculated that Pei Rong's hands and feet are indeed not clean."

Mo Moyun's very calm words, if leaked out, would set off a huge wave in the court in an instant.

Even Shen Danmo was so shocked that he was speechless.

No matter what Pei Rong's temperament is, and how unsatisfactory he is, he is still Pei Zhen's eldest son, and he is also the head of the Dingguo government's generation.As long as he is still in this position for a day, not to mention the military, even the Tian family will give some respect.Such a person is actually mixed with a group of bandits, who would believe it?

Mo Moyun made this judgment, as long as the news is made public, it is very likely to cause great turmoil among the Tian family, Taishitai Pavilion, civil servants and nobles.

"Father, if there is no solid evidence for this matter, it must not be reported to the emperor." Shen Danmo said hastily.

Seeing her concerned face, Mo'er was very relieved, and smiled and said: "Father naturally understands this truth. The situation in the court is dangerous, and if one step is wrong, you will be smashed to pieces, but all these years, my father has never cared about those storms. Mo'er knows why ?”

Shen Danmo said without hesitation: "Because the emperor trusts."

Mo Moyun nodded and said: "You are right, but there is another very important reason, that is, no matter when and where, you must have your own judgment. Looking at the history books, there are no official offices like Taige in the past dynasties. It is rare, if the person in power is only a respondent, he will not end well, but if he is used to making his own decisions, it will also be difficult to end well."

The girl asked puzzledly: "Father, when should we obey orders and when should we make our own decisions?"

Mo Moyun said softly: "When the road is smooth, follow orders, and when the building is about to collapse, make your own decisions."

The girl was a little surprised and didn't understand what it meant.

Mo'er Yun smiled slightly and said: "As a father, I just hope that you can have the ability to make decisions when the current situation changes. This is also the reason why you are usually allowed to read some unimportant information in the pavilion. Mo'er, as a father is old, your uncle's family It's just a middle-of-the-road appearance. In the future, after the death of your father, I always hope that you have at least the ability to protect yourself. You have been in power for more than ten years, and there are countless enemies. They dare not act rashly when your father is around. On that day, if the father is gone, you have to keep this family."

What he said was so calm that Mo was shocked.

Seeing this, Mo Moyun comforted and said: "Don't worry, being a father is just planning for a rainy day."

He sighed in his heart, if the eldest son was still alive, how could he put this pressure on his daughter's shoulders.

Shen Danmo's heart was in a mess. Although her father's tone was calm, she felt that these words were really ominous.However, after thinking about it, with the emperor's trust in his father and the importance of the Taishitai Pavilion, no one in this leader can easily shake him. Maybe it's just like what his father said, he only cultivated himself for future considerations.

Mo Moyun picked up the document in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Although Pei Rong has no talent or virtue, he is the eldest son of Xian Dingguo after all. He met with a mysterious man who was skilled in martial arts in the past month, and the details of the conversation are unknown. However, through the tracking of the mysterious man, it can be confirmed that this man has a close relationship with the bandits in the Hengduan Mountains."

Shen Danmo was puzzled when he heard the words: "Why didn't daddy order this person to be captured alive?"

Mo Moyun smiled strangely, shook his head and said: "This is where the interesting thing is. The man appeared in the middle of the night. After meeting Pei Rong, he took advantage of the night to climb over the city wall. The masters in the pavilion can follow him, but if they get too close , they will be killed by them. After leaving the city, there are knights to meet them. These people are all three horses, but deliberately lowered their speed, so that our people will stay far behind until they enter the Hengduan Mountains."

Shen Danmo frowned and said: "This person actually took the initiative to expose that Uncle Dingyuan to Daddy's eyes."

There was no trace of anger on Mo Moyun's face, and he said calmly: "In this way, I am even more curious about this group of bandits who act strangely and boldly. Who are they? What do they want to do?"

Shen Danmo looked at the papers on the table, and smiled with admiration: "I think Daddy already has the answer."

Mo Moyun said slowly: "The existence of these bandits seems absurd, but they must have ulterior motives behind them. When their whereabouts are exposed, they will have no impact on the current situation of the court and the safety of the country. It is even more impossible to endanger the capital. Although it is still impossible to find out who they are, but why they appear, my father can probably guess."

Shen Danmo looked at him seriously.

Mo Moyun continued: "It seems ridiculous to spend countless money and resources to arrange such a big battle, but it does not interfere with the overall situation, but my father also told you before that these bandits are by no means ordinary people. Behind the scenes The chief envoy has such strength but still makes seemingly ridiculous decisions. Obviously, he is not fooling around for no benefit. The reason why he does this is likely to be hatred in his heart. Not to stir up the situation, but to enmity for himself, this way It can explain the weird and abnormal behavior of these bandits."

"If the mastermind behind the scenes wants to take revenge, the target must be an important person in the court. Otherwise, judging from his own strength, if the enemy is an ordinary official, he only needs to send a master to assassinate him."

"Since the way of assassination doesn't work, it means that the revenge target of the mastermind behind the scenes is either a martial arts master with extreme cultivation, or the guards around him are extremely powerful, and people in the Jianghu cannot approach at all."

"There is only one supremely strong person, and that is Dingguo Gong Pei Yuan, the leader of the nine founders of the country. Since then, there has been no such expert in the world. In this way, the target of these people's revenge can only be the real top of the Daliang Army. Honorable."

Shen Danmo was extremely shocked when she heard his father's narration. She had also read some information about the bandits, and after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that this matter was very absurd.

Mo Moyun handed over the manuscript in his hand, and sighed softly: "I have checked all the files of these real powers in the army for my father, and found this old case from the pile of old papers. Although the words are not detailed, it is shocking to read."

Shen Danmo got up to take it with a solemn expression, only to see on the cover that it read: Yongning First Year A Zilu Number Volume.

When she opened it, her expression changed after only a few glances, and she said in disbelief, "Daddy, why is this file kept until now?"

Unexplainable melancholy appeared on Mo Moyun's face, "Yeah, even my father can't figure it out. This dossier, which should have been completely destroyed 14 years ago, has been kept intact in Taige's library."

The middle-aged man seemed a little tired. He leaned back in the chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and struggled in his eyes.

At this moment, he very much hoped that all his inferences were wrong.

After a long time, Mo Moyun sighed softly: "I hope these bandits have nothing to do with this old case."

However, Shen Danmo could hear from his father's tone that things in this world are often unsatisfactory, which is no different from others.

She suddenly remembered what Pei Yue said in the letter, maybe it was the right choice not to mention some things after they happened.

Otherwise, when you open the cover, you will see the bloody truth.
