Chapter 66 The Mystery of the Dagger
After experiencing drastic changes overnight, Liu Ang had no intention of killing the three of them.

On Jifeng Mountain, everyone is discussing the matter of recruiting security.

Qianru was afraid that people's hearts would fluctuate again, so she urged Yu Cheng to help spread the word, saying that another purpose of Shangguanyuan's coming to Jifengshan was to recruit security.

Although Liu's family and Shangguan's family had old grievances, at least Shangguanyuan is Liu Ang's grandson, and he has a love for helping each other in times of need.

Liu Ang didn't care about things for many years, and he knew nothing about the affairs at the foot of the mountain. Regarding Zhao'an, the only person he could count on was Shangguan Yuan, his grandson.

Therefore, as soon as this word spread, it became an iron-clad fact.

The attitude of the people on the mountain became friendly towards them, and they even took the initiative to arrange accommodation, food and clothing for them.

The Liu family army in Jifeng Mountain had a very hard life. In this lean season, they all survived by eating porridge with wild vegetables and steamed buns with wild vegetables.

The food is prepared uniformly by the gang leaders and then distributed.

Probably because of witnessing the tragedy last night, many people were crying, which made people feel sad.

In the evening, Shangguanyuan and Qianru were brought into the ancestral hall again.

Liu Ang asked ten veterans in the army to sit around him, with himself at the top, and his great-grandson Liu Tang was beside him, and he talked with them about recruiting security very seriously.

In the final analysis, it is actually a question of resettlement of thousands of Liu Jiajun.

Most of these people are old, weak and remnants of soldiers. They can barely unite and help each other on the mountain. After going down the mountain, they go back to their respective homes.

Everyone doesn't want fame, just land, money and food.

It's all because Liu Songju's offer was so good that Liu Jiajun's "asking price" was quite high, and they lied, so they had a guilty conscience and dared not agree.

He was even more afraid that the bargaining would annoy Liu Ang again, and he would lose his life again.

After thinking for a while, Qianru came up with a solution. She asked for pen and ink, and wrote down Liu Jiajun's request on paper.

"If you have any requests, just ask, and we will report them truthfully. Today, the world is peaceful and the treasury is sufficient. The imperial court will not be stingy and refuse to give you reasonable accommodation. But if you can help to do a good deed, I think the ministers in the imperial court will definitely agree to it." It will be too critical, and when the emperor approves it, it will definitely be more enjoyable!"

"What do you want us to help with?"

"Anyway, the bandits from Tongchi Mountain went to Mengqiao Station via Guibao to commit murder, and Liu Songju even helped the tiger and sent people to hunt down and kill the officials of Dali Temple. Therefore, in order to make the recruitment process smoother, I would like to trouble you to check this the truth of the case."

Immediately afterwards, she told everyone that the murdered censor Antai was her father, and if Liu Jiajun could help search for evidence, she would spare no effort in recruiting.

There was no problem with these words, but not all veterans on the mountain were as indifferent to things down the mountain as Liu Ang.

They knew that King Gui's eldest grandson Ji was the number one dignitary in the Xuan Dynasty.

Combining the words of Liu Songju and Liu Songzhu last night, they concluded that this is a person who cannot afford to offend.

They accepted Shangguan Yuan's offer of security, which had already refuted Changsun Ji's face. If they investigate and collect other criminal evidence, they may not be able to go down the mountain to enjoy the blessings, but they will die early.

In order to appease people's hearts, Qianru had no choice but to talk about her relationship with Xiangxiang: "Is there any permanent enemy in the world? When we left, the prince and his wife were still living in our home. In addition, it was King Gui who asked the emperor to reverse the case for my father. He asked for it himself. If he did it, why would he shoot himself in the foot?"

Everyone dispelled their doubts, and went separately to summon their subordinates for interrogation.

The ancestral hall was dark and spooky, Liu Ang seemed to want to say something to them, but he kept silent, just took out the dagger and kept wiping it.

This scene made Qianru think of the situation when Liu Songju saw the replica dagger. After all, how did she identify it?
Shangguan Yuan also wanted to ask this question, but for some reason, he hesitated and couldn't open his mouth.

Liu Ang said that the key to identification lies in the word "Liu" engraved on it.

"The character Liu (traditional: Liu) has fifteen strokes, each representing the fifteen Liu family members. Whose dagger has a thicker stroke."

"Then which painting represents my mother?"

"It's the last vertical hook." Liu Ang paused for a moment, "Now this dagger only has the point of the old man, and the penultimate vertical hook drawn by Liu Yi's line is already the vertical hook, and it's gone."

"A vertical and a hook support half of the word Liu, your mother must have been very good when she was young." Qianru just wanted to satirize Shangguan Liu, but unexpectedly aroused Liu Ang's indignation.

"She's not just amazing? This bastard, unfaithful, ruthless, mad at my mother, beat my younger brother, half of the Liu family's army died at her hands. If it wasn't for the brothers under her, for the Liu family to leave a little incense , the old man would rather die than recruit, especially the Shangguan family's recruiting."

Liu Ang clenched his fists angrily, and howled repeatedly: "Shame, shame!"

His face turned red and white alternately, looking very scary.

In order to prevent him from being overwhelmed with anger, Qianru hurriedly pushed Shangguan Yuan closer to appease Liu Ang, even if she was trying to comfort the old man.

It's just that Shangguan Yuan wanted to help, but Liu Ang refused. Instead, he made a mockery.

"When your mother betrayed the Liu family, she said that her husband and son-in-law must be talented princes. I am curious about what kind of prince the Changsun family named your father after conquering the country."

"My mother did not accept the posthumous title of the late emperor."

"Why? She loves face so much, how could she not?"

"The first emperor refused to thoroughly investigate the cause of my father's death, so she refused to posthumously."

Shangguan Yuan's words were like a panacea. Liu Ang quickly calmed down after hearing this.

He grabbed Shangguan Yuan's arm jokingly, "Your eyes are full of hatred, you must really hate the enemy who killed your father, right?"

"The revenge of killing my father is not shared by the sky!"

"But what if it was your mother who killed your father?"

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Changsun Ji said so, when he left the capital, Yi Zhonglun hinted again, and now Liu Ang is...
Shangguan Yuan didn't dare to think about it, but he was also curious about it.

After passing this village, without this shop, Liu Ang is already an octogenarian. If you don't ask today, you may not be able to ask in the future.

After struggling for a while, he finally asked obliquely, "Unexpectedly, Old General Liu, who takes the lead in loyalty and righteousness, would also provoke the relationship between other people's mother and child, really?"

"Boy, it seems that you really don't understand your mother at all. She has always been selfish and seeks revenge! Your father has someone outside and is arguing to divorce his wife. How can she bear such a shameful humiliation?" ?”

"You bullshit!"

Liu Ang said disdainfully: "At that time, the person who restrained Changsun Ji was the old man. Your father's death, the old man can be regarded as one of the few people in the world who knew the inside story."

"What inside story?"

Liu Ang picked up the dagger on the incense table and showed it to Shangguan Yuan, "The inside story lies in this dagger."

The vertical hook of Liu character on the dagger is thicker than other strokes.
