Chapter 69
"Dare to snatch the young master's things, stop!"

Liu Tang chased wildly, and with the help of a group of patrolling soldiers, he finally caught the masked man.

As soon as the face towel was taken off, he was shocked.

The masked man turned out to be Liu Songhe's husband Luo Yang.

Everyone thought he was dead, and as soon as the news spread, it was like a frying pan exploded on the mountain.

Liu Ang gathered his soldiers to punish the culprit of all disasters in front of the ancestral hall.

Luo Yang kept his head down and waited for death without making any noise.

However, at the moment when the knife was raised and dropped, another Liu Songhe who was thought to be dead appeared to rescue him.

God!How is this going?

"Father, you have decided to accept the recruitment anyway, why not let Brother Yang go? Everything he did was forced."

In order to let the child live better, Luo Yang secretly sent him down the mountain to be fostered. Afraid that this incident would shake the morale of the Liu family army, he lied that he had lost the child by gambling, so he had to cut off his own finger.

Luo Yang felt lonely and had nowhere to vent, so he became addicted to gambling, became a real gambler, and was targeted by Tan Gong.

Tan Gong seized on Luo Yang and used him and Liu Songhe's daughter, Luo Xingyue, to threaten him.

"You can make it up!" Liu Tang cut off Liu Songhe, and handed the letter he found in Liu Tang's room to his great-grandfather Liu Ang, "It clearly says, the details of Tan Gong and Luo Yang's conspiracy."

Luo Yang confessed to this, "This letter was written to me by Tan Gong, and I also facilitated the contact between the fourth sister and him, but I did not encourage her to kill people, let alone how many contacts they had in private and what they talked about. .”

A year ago, on the night of the third day of the first lunar month, he sent Tan Gong and others down the mountain and went to the town to gamble. When he came back, he happened to find Liu Songhe and others being besieged and killed.

"That night, I learned from my fourth sister that Brother Yang borrowed a way from a group of people of unknown origin, so I took my cronies down the mountain to stop it, and accidentally wiped out a group of thieves who took all the mountain in Mengqiao Station. However, On the way back to the mountain, I encountered an ambush. All the elites I brought were killed and injured, and only I escaped by jumping into the grass cage in the deep stream under the protection of Brother Yang."

Afterwards, Liu Songhe learned from Luo Yang that the ambush might have been set up by someone sent by the fourth sister Liu Songju.

Together with him, he found two people of similar stature, and made a disguise for changing clothes.

Then hide nearby to find out the truth.

Unexpectedly, it was Liu Songju who did it.

"Although Brother Yang lost the dagger when he rescued me, I still have the dagger, so I got away with it by chance. We wanted to save Xingyue and take her home, but we didn't expect it."

Liu Songhe's tears fell to the ground, choked up and unable to speak.

"That family is unwilling to return the child to us. It turns out that Xingyue has been sold by them a long time ago. This is all retribution! We have been looking for the child everywhere for more than a year. Two ransom money. I have no choice but to come back and steal the silver notes hidden in the plywood.”

"Father, please spare Brother Yang. Apart from gambling, he has never done anything harmful!"

"I was the one who led the wolf into the house. I caused everything. I died without complaint. I just hope, dad, you can let Tang'er take out the banknote and let Song He rescue Xingyue."

Luo Yang spoke earnestly, with tears in his eyes, and his love for his daughter was beyond words.

"It's a pity that I have all my fists and feet, but I can't save my daughter. Dad, I beg you to show your hand high. As long as Xingyue can be saved, I am willing to pay for my life with Brother Yang!"

Liu Songhe cried sadly, which was very touching.

But, is what the couple said true?
After all, Liu Songju was dead, and they couldn't get Tan Gong to testify.

On the contrary, it was the letters found in Luo Yang's house, which were written clearly and truly.

Moreover, the upheaval that night caused the death of five members of the Liu family, almost ruining the only incense inheritance.

Qianru reckoned that Liu Ang would kill Luo Yang, if he didn't give the banknote, Liu Songhe would probably seek death as well.

So, she bravely stepped forward and asked about Antai's life and death first.

"I don't know what Yushi Antai is. I only vaguely remember that there was only one living person in the station at that time, and that was the young man with a long gun. I also asked people to use his gun as a disguise to make the government think that everyone was He killed it."

"Who is Antai to you?"

Luo Yang seemed to know something.

"He's my father."

"That night I quietly dug open the earthen wall behind the post station and rescued him."

She was afraid that this was a lie made up by Luo Yang in order to save her life, so she asked tentatively: "You said you saved my father, what does he look like? What identification do you have on him?"

"A tall, thin man with snow-like temples and a string of small bells on his body. He is unruffled and very shrewd when he is in danger. When I rescued him, he killed a thief, and he took out the small bells in his arms and stuffed them into the man's arms. He also set the fire."

The person Luo Yang described was very similar to Antai in appearance and temperament. Qianru was overjoyed and hurried forward to ask, "Did he tell you what his plans are?"

"I promised Antai not to say anything. I should have kept my mouth shut. But after more than a year, he still hasn't come home. Maybe something happened. I'm going to die now. Telling you, it's a blessing for Xingyue."

"As long as you are kind, you will definitely be able to accumulate blessings for your daughter."

"He said that the only way for the An family to survive is to investigate and let the wicked be punished."

These words seem to come from Antai's mouth, Qianru is convinced.

At the same time, Liu Ang also believed that Luo Yang's heart was not bad, and it was his adopted daughter who did not teach him that caused the disaster.

So, he asked Liu Tang to return the banknote to Luo Yang.

However, Liu Tang only paid back 500 taels.

But, is so much money really enough?

Qianru has been in that business before, and knows that there are only people ordering food. Luo Yang and his wife are dressed in rags, and they only want 3000 taels.

In order to repay Luo Yang for saving Antai's life, Qianru thought for a while and had no choice but to push Shangguanyuan out as a favor.

Shangguan Yuan has been away for several days, and he should be back soon. At that time, the couple will go together to help Luo Yang save his daughter.

"Miss An, Luo has received your wish, but we haven't found Xingyue yet. We just heard that the Goulan yard in the south of the Yangtze River requires at least 3000 taels of silver for redemption."

"If we knew where it was, Brother Yang and I would have tried our best to snatch him. After struggling for more than a year, we only found superficial clues, and heroes are useless."

"Since that's the case, you should wait until you are recruited before leaving. Assuming you can get an official position, wouldn't your daughter have more hope of getting out of the sea of ​​suffering?"

Luo Yang looked up at Liu Ang, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded helplessly.

At the same time, the emperor's eldest grandson Lue, who had retired from the court, was discussing with King Gui, King Luo, Rongguo Duke Xu Huaishan, Prime Minister Yi Zhonglun, and several other relevant ministers about recruiting Liu's army in the Palace of Qinzheng.

Although everyone has different opinions, it is surprising that King Gui and King Luo, who have always had a big disagreement, are unanimous in their firm opposition to Zhao'an.

The reason is that among the fifteen tigers of the Liu family, only Liu Ang, who is over [-] years old, is left, and there are old, weak and remnant soldiers on the mountain.
