Wen Laozhang can be said to be a man of little wealth, but his wife and children are his weak point. In order for his wife and children to survive, he has to accept the conditions put forward by the people behind the scenes - change his identity!
It turned out that the previous Jiangling Prefectural Governor was brought about by someone behind the scenes.
This position is reserved for the cronies of the people behind the scenes... Who would have thought that Mr. Wen would have his beard intercepted.
But at that time, Mr. Wen had just taken office for more than a year and was receiving the attention of the emperor. No matter how courageous the people behind the scenes were, they would not dare to get rid of two governors in succession!
Therefore, a drama about a civet cat exchanging for a prince was born!
The cronies of the man behind the scenes put on human skin masks, disguised themselves as Mr. Wen, and took over his position as governor.
In order to punish Mr. Wen, the people behind the scenes sent him to Gucheng County to be a beggar, and ordered him to beg only for the rest of his life and not to return to Jiangling Mansion.
The reason why Mr. Wen agreed was because the person behind the scenes said that as long as he obeyed, his wife and children would still be members of the Fuyin family and could live a prosperous life for the rest of their lives...
Hearing this, Wei Hai frowned and said, "That's not right, then why don't the people behind the scenes just kill you and that's the end of it?"
"The evidence...because Mr. Wen's evidence is still there." Gu Ning'an smiled.
The old beggar was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "Yes, I can survive because I still have evidence in my hand. The people behind the scenes were afraid that I would defeat the purpose, so they did not kill me."
"This is also my only bargaining chip to keep my wife and children safe."
After listening, everyone couldn't help but sigh that the world is unfair.
An upright official who punished traitors ended up begging for more than twenty years.
Li Xunshan asked: "Mr. Wen, someone should be watching you, right? They won't let you come back. If you come back now, won't they know about it?"
The old beggar waved his hand and said, "Actually, the person responsible for tracking me went back two years ago."
"My confidants also sent me a message not long after the people who were following me left, telling me that the people behind the scenes thought I was useless, so they withdrew the people who were following me."
"To prevent fraud, I waited for more than two years before I dared to come back..."
Gu Ning'an asked: "Master Wen is back, do you want to see your family?"
"It was like this at first." Speaking of this, a hint of gloom appeared on the old beggar's face: "But after seeing what happened to Li Xiaozi, I plan to help him."
"How can I help?" Gu Ning'an asked.
The old beggar said sternly: "With the evidence in my hand, I will be able to negotiate terms with the substitute in one day."
"I believe it's such a small thing, but he still doesn't want to alarm the people above him."
Hearing this, Li Xunshan stood up and bowed to the old beggar: "Mr. Wen, Xunshan will always remember your great kindness and kindness... But this matter is ultimately a straw in the ashes. Why don't you still do it?" Don't go, if anything happens to you, I will feel uneasy..."
The old beggar sat firmly. After receiving the bow, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm a little sure about it...I'll have to drink a few more glasses of the wedding wine when the time comes."
Li Xunshan paused and said, "Mr. Wen... I'd better think more about it..."
"I have made up my mind." The old beggar raised his hand with determination on his face.
"Ahem!" The head of the Ren family, who had not interrupted until now, cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Wen, you may not be able to accept what I'm going to say next, but I still have to tell you."
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the courtyard, and even Wei Hai's heavy breathing became much softer.
Something that can make a person like Family Master Ren show such an expression must be extremely heavy.
The old beggar sat upright, with a sharp look in his cloudy eyes: "You tell me."
"Your wife and son should have passed away around two years ago..." As soon as the head of the Ren family finished speaking, the old beggar stood up with a sudden sound, his eyes bloodshot, He firmly grasped the lapel of Patriarch Ren’s clothes: “What’s going on! Tell me!”
Xu is a man who also has a wife and daughter. The head of the Ren family was not surprised by Mr. Wen's reaction. He sighed and said: "Two years ago, news came out from the Wen Mansion that Mr. Wen was infected with a serious disease. Mrs. Wen was so eager for her son. , taking care of her day and night, she also contracted a serious disease."
"What kind of disease it is, I have no way of knowing... I only know that because of the infection of this disease, Wen Fuyin... No, the substitute quickly took away the bodies of Mrs. Wen and Young Master Wen. Burned......"
"The last funeral was only completed in one day...According to the stand-in, they were afraid that Mrs. Wen's illness would spread to the common people, so they didn't even leave a single piece of clothing...so they didn't even have a tomb." Not even established..."
"Beasts! They must have been killed by that substitute dog thief!" Wei Hai hammered the stone table, making a muffled sound.
The old beggar swayed, and after letting go of Master Ren, he fell to the ground. His eyes were empty and dull, and his tears fell down in a line, soon making the floor tiles in front of him wet. .....
Li Xunshan wanted to get up and help the old beggar, but Gu Ning'an held out his hand to stop him: "The world is unpredictable, and words of comfort are useless to him...let him cry."
Li Xunshan nodded, then stood to one side...
While everyone was silently accompanying the old beggar, the head of the Ren family also told everyone something - the Sun family is actually the original family of the substitute!
The head of the Sun family and even Sun Xuan are all the biological sons and grandsons of the substitute Fu Yin!
After knowing the whole situation, everyone also understood why the head of the Ren family said earlier that the Sun family could cover the sky in Jiangling Mansion with one hand!
Isn't the governor of Jiangling Mansion the god of Jiangling Mansion?
More than half an hour later!
The old beggar rubbed his face vigorously with his rough hands. He staggered up and looked at the crowd, cupping his hands and saying, "Wen is going to collect debts for his wife and children... take care of yourself." Gu Ning'an stood up and said, "Let's go." Come on, I'll accompany you."
"I'll go too." Wei Hai followed closely.
Li Xunshan silently took out two short blades and said sternly: "I'll go too."
The old beggar said sternly: "No! If you go here, there will be no chance of death. If you go, you will die in vain!"
Gu Ning'an smiled and waved his hand: "Now that we know the nature of the substitute, I'm afraid that whether I go or not, he will still find a way to take my life."
"In this case, accompanying Mr. Wen is also seeking a chance to survive, isn't it?"
Hearing this, the old beggar's expression froze. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said: "Go, since you are not afraid, then go... If I can win on the river, I won't necessarily lose here!"
"Well said!" Wei Hai hooked his arm on the old beggar's shoulder and said with a smile: "If it succeeds, can Wenfu Yin give me an official position?"
The old beggar shrugged impatiently: "Gungun, I have no intention of arguing with you."
The scene in front of him, for some reason, made Head Ren a little envious.
It seems that he has never had a friend who is willing to live and die together...
But is Mr. Gu's expression too light and airy?
The head of the Ren family stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I won't say any more unnecessary words. Ren hereby wishes you all success..."
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an and his party all returned the favor.
Before leaving the house, Gu Ning'an took out a scroll from her large sleeve robe and handed it to the head of the Ren family, and then went out with the other three people...
