Si Baiyu is naturally a smart man. The anonymous letter he holds in his hand may be a hot potato or a time bomb, or it may be a life-saving straw. In the center of the whirlpool deep in Yuling, even he, who is far away in Beijing,
The "Thirteen Taibao" were also involved, which shows the seriousness of this matter.
Therefore, when he got the anonymous letter, he started an investigation. However, with Si Baiyu's ability and connections, he could not trace any clues, let alone unravel the cocoon in Yuling, where the undercurrent was surging.
"Little sister, actually based on my current intuition, we shouldn't come this time."
"what do you mean?"
"I'm not backing down, but I'm just playing into my heart. Although the content in the letter is very credible, it comes at a very strange time. Xiaoqi and the others are being troubled by the ghost gate, and this anonymous letter came out for no reason.
, doesn’t it smell like adding fuel to the fire?”
"Yes, the person who sent this letter is obviously watching the fire from afar, but he can understand the overall situation. This shows that he is definitely not an outsider. This letter comes at the right time. It is not too big of a deal. I'm afraid it's a drunkard's fault.
liquor."
"You're right."
"Then why did you go south?"
"You know you can't do anything but do it. Yu Ling is now at the critical moment of life and death. Someone has to come out and take responsibility. Even if this journey is a sea of ​​swords and fire, I, Si Baiyu, will never stand idly by. What's more, since this letter is sent to us
, it means that he must have some connection with us, and this matter must be investigated clearly!"
"You're worried they're coming for us."
"Little sister, how can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned? You have to know that if he is dealing with the entire Yuling, then not to mention us, all the people in Yuling cannot survive alone, and the skin will not survive.
Yanfu, we do this to protect ourselves."
"You're right, I didn't think well."
It turns out that the content of the anonymous letter in Si Baiyu's hands is about a secret that has been sealed for many years. The names of the people involved have been anonymized, so it is difficult to match the events with the people one by one. Only a few are mentioned.
Ten years ago, there was a major dispute in Yuling. The protagonist of the story designed a conspiracy for his own desire for power, which resulted in another competitor from the same clan being kicked out of the family, and his whereabouts are unknown ever since.
Si Baiyu's status in Yuling was not low, and his reputation among the sixth branch of the Si family was extremely high. Even Si Weiqi was polite to him and always respected him as his elder brother. At this time, Si Weiqi was not in Yu
Therefore, when the young master came to Yuling, he was treated with great courtesy.
Si Baiyu narrated the whole incident, and everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the twists and turns of the incident had reached such an extent.
At this time, most of the people sitting in the hall were the elders of Yuling. The only one who was missing was the seventh uncle.
"I haven't seen Uncle Seven for a long time. I wonder how his health is?"
"To tell you the truth, Uncle Qi has been ill recently and has difficulty getting up."
"how so?"
"Hey, as I'm getting older, there's nothing I can do about it."
Si Baiyu was secretly worried, and just wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible so that he could visit his seventh uncle. When Si Baiyu asked whether the elders of the family knew about the person in the letter, suddenly, the seventh uncle who was present
He shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, this letter must be a trick of someone with ulterior motives, and it cannot be trusted!"
The seventh uncle originally had only one
It was a bit bloody, and it seemed strange that he suddenly made a sound at this time.
The place was extremely quiet.
The seventh uncle is over ninety years old and his identity is very important. Under normal circumstances, as long as what he says does not require any proof, no one dares to doubt its authenticity. However, now he is so emotional that he said these words
, on the contrary, it makes people feel that there is something hidden in it.
But soon the seventh uncle realized his gaffe. He was silent for a while, looked up at Si Baiyu, and said in a surprisingly calm tone: "You have all been deceived by the people behind the scenes!"
"This junior is confused, please ask my seventh uncle to clarify."
Uncle Seven sneered: "I'm laughing at your father for being an old fool. How could you do this? You are young and full of energy, and it is easy for others to take advantage of you. The person who sent the letter must have realized this a long time ago. You
The main reason why Dad was played into someone's hands was because he had some evil intentions in his heart. As the saying goes, if you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. If he can sit upright and walk upright, there is no need to wade through this muddy water!"
There was no trace of politeness left in the seventh uncle's tone.
Before he finished speaking, the seventh uncle's eyes flashed sharply and he stared at Si Baiyu.
The atmosphere immediately became tense, as if a storm was about to come.
At this time, a gentle voice sounded: "Seventh uncle, please don't get excited. Why do you need to be like a junior?"
Her calm tone greatly relaxed the tense atmosphere.
The seventh uncle could ignore Si Baiyu, but he had to show his face to her, so he groaned and remained silent for the time being.
It turned out that the person speaking at this time was Si Ruohan, the third aunt of the Si family, the third aunt of Si Weiqi.
Si Ruohan glanced at Si Baiyu, nodded and said: "Bai Yu, I think your father did something wrong in this matter. You shouldn't come here."
"My nephew doesn't understand what you mean. Can you please explain it more clearly so that I can understand how I fell into the enemy's conspiracy."
The seventh uncle said coldly: "Silly boy, you are really ignorant. Why didn't you ask your father first if the content in this letter is true or false? Let's see how he responds to you."
"This...I did ask him, but he didn't say anything clearly. He just asked me to investigate by myself. That's why I went south to Yuling to investigate this matter clearly."
"Let me tell you this, your father was also involved in this matter back then. The truth or falsehood of this matter is actually not important. Mountains are mountains, water is water, mountains are not mountains, and water is not water.
In fact, they are just dust and mud in our hearts. Your father just can’t see this, so he is taken advantage of."
Everyone nodded.
The seventh uncle said in a deep voice: "This is the most brilliant thing about that man. Your father was involved in this matter back then, and I'm afraid he still has concerns in his heart. It's not that no one except me knows this secret, so we people are his natural
Witnesses, some things, even if they are not the truth, can cover up the truth or even become the truth as long as there is the slightest doubt."
Si Baiyu nodded and said: "There is one thing that I don't know about this junior, and that is the handwriting in this anonymous letter. My father said again and again that this handwriting is very much like the handwriting of an old friend."
"This is not difficult. The handwriting looks familiar to me. It can almost be said that it is a reappearance of the past. The person who wrote the letter is indeed very powerful. But having said that, it is not impossible to imitate other people's handwriting even if it is fake. There are some things that can be seen in it.
The person who wrote this letter has a close relationship with that old friend from back then." Si Ruohan said.
The seventh uncle coldly interrupted: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink. We have all been deceived by superficial articles. This letter comes at the right time. Isn't it just a signal?"
Although Si Baiyu still didn't know what the secret story told by his seventh uncle and the others was, he vaguely felt that his words made sense, and his eyes moved to Si Ruohan to see how she would deal with it.
Si Ruohan smiled indifferently, not at all displeased by the serious tone of his seventh uncle's words, and calmly said: "What is supposed to come will come, I think this is not necessarily a bad thing..."
"What do you think of Sanniang?"
"Xiaoqi is currently dealing with the ghost gate matter. We have connected several things that happened before and found that they are all causally connected, but we have never been able to see the real motivations of the people behind it. Now this
An anonymous letter actually inspired us."
"Yes, there are only two kinds of people who will know what happened back then. The first is our own people, and the second is...but the second kind of people..."
"I know the doubts in everyone's minds, but I don't dare to draw a conclusion on this matter. In fact, this is the key point. It's not that I haven't thought about this issue. It's just that I don't want to mention the sad past. Secondly, now Yuling
It’s not peaceful, a single move can affect the whole body..."
The hall fell silent.
The more things get debated, the more unclear they become. The situation is extremely chaotic, and there are no longer clear barriers as before.
At this moment, a sudden rapid ringing of the phone rang.
Si Ruohan answered the phone.
"What did you say!"
Her voice suddenly trembled.
The nerves of everyone present were immediately raised.
What could make Si Ruohan so nervous?
That must be a big deal.
"Sanniang, what happened?"
Everyone sat up in unison.
Si Ruohan's face suddenly turned pale, and she was speechless for a while. Looking at the people in the audience, tears flashed in her eyes unconsciously.
"Seventh Uncle...Seventh Uncle...is driving to the west!"
"What?!"
"Seventh uncle drove to the west of Hexi?"
"Seventh uncle is driving to the west of Hexi!"
This heavy and sad news almost penetrated everyone's hearts at once.
Everyone's soul seemed to have been pulled out in half, and they sat in their seats dejectedly. The atmosphere was suddenly depressed to the extreme.
"How could this happen? I haven't had time to see my seventh uncle for the last time!" Si Baiyu said regretfully.
"One wave after another, it is a huge event for the seventh uncle to drive Hexi. By then, countless people inside and outside Yuling will come to mourn, and I am afraid someone will make a fuss about it." The seventh uncle has already made a fuss about it.
I smelled danger.
"Who dares!" Si Baiyu slapped the table, "As long as I'm here, I'll see who dares to cause trouble!"
"Bai Yu, you are still too young. The relationship inside and outside Yuling is inherently sensitive. Once this matter comes out, it will not be as simple as you think."
"Yes, the seventh uncle has a high moral character and has a very important position in Yuling. Now that he is gone, I can't say anything else. At least it is foreseeable that some people will not be able to sit still." The seventh uncle said.
Chapter completed!
