Chapter 139 The Strange Old Man

After Gao Pan and the brown-robed old man looked at each other for a long time, finally, Gao Pan was the first to wake up. Knowing that it was very impolite to look at others like this, he quickly lowered his head and asked softly:

"I don't know but Mr. Pan, I have something I want to tell you!"

The old man in the brown robe also reacted at this moment, and quickly sat back on the main seat, looked at Gao Pan quietly, and said slowly:
"I'm not some Master Pan. The Master Pan you mentioned is the old man's son-in-law, and he has already gone to sit in the yamen!"

After Gao Pan heard this, his expression froze, he didn't understand what the old man in brown robe meant.

After thinking about it, Gao Pan calmly saluted the brown-robed old man, and said in a low voice:
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first, and I'll come back after Mr. Pan leaves the hall, so I won't bother you!"

Seeing this, the old man in brown robe raised his brows slightly, his heart moved, and he spoke again:
"Don't you just ask the old man, can you convey it to him for you?"

Hearing this, Gao Pan said with a smile:

"It's not that the kid can't trust you, old man. It's really a big deal. The fewer people who know about it, the better!"

In Gao Pan's mind, at this moment, he has already decided that the old man in brown robe is an official. Although he doesn't know what the official position is, Gao Pan has already classified him and Mrs. Gao as the same kind of people with only one luck.

Maybe it's a powerful person who went down to the wild, this is Gao Pan's own inner guess.

The reason why I still say this is because I want to test out what kind of existence this brown-robed old man is.

Sure enough, as soon as Gao Pan finished speaking, the brown-robed old man stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"You little brother, you have a very loud tone. How big a deal can be, and not many people know about it? Let the old man guess, but is it a matter of rebellion?"

When Gao Pan heard this, his face became a little embarrassing. What the brown-robed old man said was right. Apart from the serious crime of conspiracy and rebellion, I am afraid there is no other crime. It is more serious than this, so he smiled wryly:

"No, it's just a family matter!"

"Oh? Since it's a family matter, why did you come to inform the supervisory censor? Why don't you go to the Wannian County Yamen? Or the Chengtian Mansion Yamen?"

The old man in brown robe looked at Gao Pan with interest and said.

After Gao Pan heard this, he knew that he had no reason to hide, so he said seriously:

"Since the old man said so, the boy said it. After you know it, don't spread it!"

After hearing this, the old man in brown robe smiled and shook his head slightly, as if telling Gao Pan that he would not be such a villain.

Seeing this, Gao Pan explained his reason for coming.

After hearing this, the brown-robed old man's face gradually became serious, which made Gao Pan's heart skip a beat. He didn't understand why the brown-robed old man suddenly changed his face.

"How did you find out?"

After a while, the old man in brown robe looked at Gao Pan very seriously and asked.

Seeing this, Gao Pan struggled for a while, recalling what Gao Qiyuan did to him, took a deep breath, and said slowly:
"Because the boy is Gao Qiyuan's nephew. His second son, Gao Guangyuan, caused trouble before, and I was the one who replaced him! Now, in less than a month, he has replaced his second son!"

After hearing this, the old man in brown robe was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Gao Pan in amazement and asked:

"Then what trouble did Gao Guangyuan cause? Why did you ask you to replace him?"

When Gao Pan saw this, he didn't hide it, he said all the words to this point, without explaining the reason, Gao Pan felt that others would not believe it.

When Gao Pan said that he was Gao Guangyuan's replacement and that he had done away with the crime of Qiu Liang, the brown-robed old man's eyes instantly became sharper, which surprised Gao Pan, who wondered why the old man's reaction was so great!
After listening to Gao Pan's words, the old man in brown robe slammed the table and said angrily:

"In the world, there is such a relative? Pushing your own nephew into the fire?... Then how did you escape this calamity?"

Then he looked at Gao Pan and asked.

Seeing this, Gao Pan was startled, the brown-robed old man's reaction was really too much, as if he was complaining for him.

Even Gao Qibai just comforted him a few words before, and didn't say anything more. This brown-robed old man is not related to him, but he is so excited?
After hesitating for a while, Gao Pan still talked about some things he did in Dantang County, and finally settled many things.

The brown-robed old man recovered slightly after hearing this, but he still said angrily:

"He is such a good uncle. He is really unworthy of being called an uncle when he calls his own nephew at will!"

After saying this, Gao Pan's heart was shocked, but he was a little moved. Isn't that the grievance in his heart?

However, many years of life experience made Gao Pan feel that there is no love for no reason, and the brown-robed old man is not related to him, but he is complaining for him, and he must have some purpose for him!
"Who says it's not? Therefore, the kid is risking being poked in the back, and he must expose this matter, so that people with knowledge in the world can be promoted fairly!"

Suppressing the emotion in his heart, Gao Pan said rather 'aggrieved'.

However, after finishing speaking, Gao Pan realized that he had revealed his family background.

If the brown-robed old man's heart is for Gao Qiyuan, he can't say, he will suffer disaster, he was a little startled, and he unconsciously said everything, even the grievance in his heart, he also said it out , Gao Pan was a little taken aback.

I also began to feel a little uneasy in my heart, afraid that the next sentence of the brown-robed old man would be to let him leave immediately!

After hearing this, the old man in brown robe asked Gao Pan's family members, and his eyes became very kind.

"Since the young master is the grandson of Quan Guogong, is your father Lingtang still alive?"

When Gao Pan heard this, he didn't hear anything wrong, because both his parents had passed away?
But after thinking about it carefully, Gao Pan was a little horrified to find out, where would someone come up and ask the question of whether their parents are still alive?He is so young that he already looks like an orphan?

"My first parents passed away many years ago, and now I am the only one in the five rooms!"

However, Gao Pan put aside distracting thoughts and replied cautiously.

Although his soul came from a later life and he had never met his parents in this life, since he was a son of man and they had passed away, Gao Pan respected him in his heart.

After the old man in brown robe heard these words, his kind eyes instantly became cloudy, and an imperceptible excitement flashed in his eyes.

After a while, his eyes focused on Gao Pan, and he asked in a heavy and hasty manner:
"Then do you still remember how your father Lingtang passed away? And why?!"

Hearing this, Gao Pan felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. It was fine to ask whether his parents were still alive, but how did his parents die?

"Old man, I'm afraid this is not a way of etiquette. I'm sorry I can't answer your question. If you really think that my uncle has done something wrong, please wait for your son-in-law Mr. Pan to come back and tell him about it, boy." Let me take my leave first!"

Gao Pan held back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said calmly and politely.
