Chapter 445 The truth back then
Seeing that these annoying people were still looking at him, Lu Yingxing raised his finger, "One last question."
"Yes, yes, my lord, you say!"
He pointed at Su Wei and said, "Are you, or your Su family, planning to admit that you faked your death? Or are you planning to change your name?"
Su Wei looked confused for a moment, and didn't react to the meaning of his words for a moment.
Everyone present understood that if the Su family were to be reborn, many truths would not be hidden.
Most people would wonder, how did such a big family get away with this? Smart people would wonder, since they were all forced to resign by the emperor, how could the Su family escape from the eyes and ears of the royal secret guards?
Even where has the Su family been hiding in the past few years? Who helped rescue them in the beginning? Who helped take them in later?
Will these Su officials be reinstated? Or will they be assigned new positions? You have to know that when Su Taifu resigned, the emperor tried his best to retain him, so when former Minister of Revenue Su Heng and former Supreme Court Justice Su Chang left, they were both holding official positions... The emperor did not accept their resignations, so they asked for leave to send their fathers back home, and were eventually wiped out by the Shanzhai. If they were to be reinstated, what would happen to the newly appointed officials?
Seeing Su Wei's apologetic expression, Shen Yu understood that they had no plans to be born. Although he understood, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
It's strange to say, to be honest, she has never met the Su family before, but when getting along with Su Wei, she always feels an inexplicable closeness, just like the sense of security that her younger brothers and sisters give her. She just knows that these people will not hurt her.
"Your Highness, we chose to go to Bei County this time. On the one hand, the situation is unclear, and on the other hand, we want to deal with the identity issue. From now on, we are an ordinary Su family." After saying this, the relaxation on his face became more obvious.
He looked at Mu Ruilin and bowed slightly, his heart filled with emotion, "Mr. Mu, my father asked me to say thank you..."
Even Shen Yu was puzzled by this inexplicable thank you. Lu Yingxing also looked up and raised his eyebrows at the two of them.
Mu Ruilin opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a long time. He was recently conscripted by his brother-in-law and brought with him to handle various follow-up matters of the previous dynasty's family. He was used to these people always saluting him, so he instinctively raised his hand slightly and returned the salute.
"Father said that the appearance of Master Mu finally solved the knot in his heart that had been bothering him for many years..."
Thinking of his father's recent high spirits, Su Wei softened his voice. "Father used to be very concerned about the Su family's behavior of stabbing all the noble families in order to stay in the prosperous place a hundred years ago... But since he learned about Master Mu's identity, father said that he understood. The Su family chose to stay in the court in order to protect the last bloodline of the Mu family. Maybe the means were not so glorious, but they were loyal to the emperor, but they also lost their friends and lost their morality in the eyes of the world... Father said that the situation must have been very serious at the time, so our ancestors had to resort to this desperate measure. Many things could not be taken care of at the time..."
He sighed slightly, "Father also said that there is actually no relevant record in the clan leader's notes about the bloodline of the Mu family. However, there is one thing that is clearly stated on the first page of the notes: If the Lu family and the Ji family of the previous dynasty come to ask for help, the head of the Su family of each generation must unconditionally do their best to maintain..."
Su Wei raised his eyes and looked at everyone, his eyes full of pride and relief. In fact, wasn't he also feeling aggrieved about this matter?
How could any family with a bottom line accept that everything they enjoy now is obtained by selling out their companions? But as the beneficiaries, they have no right to question the decision of their ancestors.
So now we know that there is another hidden story behind this matter, and that the Su family has indeed been protecting Lingzhu Temple intentionally or unintentionally for a hundred years, and has also been paying attention to the situation of the Ji family in the north. For the Su family, who never interferes in the affairs of the aristocratic families, this action itself is enough to explain the problem.
Mu Ruilin opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a long time, and then knelt down with red eyes, "Thank you Su family for your generosity, and I feel that Lu family and Ji family are also righteous."
When Su Wei saw him like this, his head buzzed and his thinking became slow. He lowered his eyes and looked at his legs pressing on the pattern on the carpet.
As soon as Shen Yu moved, she was pulled by Lu Yingxing beside her. He shook his head slightly, signaling her not to interfere.
Mu Ruilin knelt like this, keeping his hands raised.
The heat in his body was running rampant, and he always felt that this was not his own emotion. It was like the blood in his body was yearning for this group of people. Perhaps it was because they had lost each other for too long that the desire had become an instinct.
His hand was suddenly supported by someone, and the next moment he was pulled up. An angry voice came from the other side, "You, Master Mu, how can you kneel to me! You are harming me!!"
Su Wei put the man back in his chair and negotiated with him, "Let's say this never happened to us, and don't tell my father."
Shen Yu looked at this third uncle speechlessly. Although he was still handsome, with fair and clean skin, and looked like he was in his early twenties, this did not affect the fact that he was actually a handsome uncle in his thirties! !
She suddenly thought of a question: Has her third uncle, who has such a lively personality, gotten married?
After he stirred things up like this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed. Nie Jing finally got the chance to speak up, "So, Your Majesty, let me be in charge of hiring the union! The Su family is just a family of scholars, and we can't convince the public!"
Everyone: “…” How persistent are you about this matter?
"What did you say?" Su Weiyi was furious. "Me! Who in the martial arts world doesn't know the name of Mr. Su San? Do you want to go out and ask around? You are the leader of a bandit village, what can you compare with me?"
"Oh, then may I ask the famous Mr. Su San, why did you choose to befriend the leader of a bandit village?"
Su Wei: “…” You weren’t a bandit back then, okay?
Speaking of which, the reason why Nie Jing's village was attacked by the bandits from Gaizhang City was because they massacred the entire Su family... Thinking of this, Su Wei suddenly felt a little guilty.
Of course, Nie Jing saw through his emotions. "Have you figured it out? Ha! I'm your savior, and this is how you treat your savior?"
Su Wei was so anxious that he didn't know how to refute. He suddenly looked at Shen Yu with a pitiful look, and his big eyes clearly said: Niece, he bullied me!
Shen Yu held his forehead and asked, "Can't you resolve your grievances by yourselves?"
She coughed lightly and said helplessly, "Actually...why don't you two cooperate?"
Before he could refuse, she quickly explained, "In fact, not all people in the Jianghu are martial arts masters, right? Don't scholars like Third Uncle also have a market share? Besides, an organization has more than one department, so you can divide the work and cooperate, right?
As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Su Wei's face turned red, and he seemed unable to control his breathing, "I!! Mr. Su San!! I am also a master!!"
