You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

He took out a mirror and looked at the paper.

In the Gengwu year, the only daughter of Lingyang An family was twelve years old. The general was attracted to her and wanted to force her to marry him. The whole family resisted, but there was no one to rely on in the capital and no place to sue. So they had no choice but to flee here.

However, a traitor appeared in the family, exposing their location, the door was trampled, the girl was raped, and hundreds of people threatened to kill the whole family, and the girl died there.

There is more than one person who is resentful. A thousand-mile long dam can be breached by a small hole. The resentment of the fathers will be inherited by the descendants.

Therefore, the people of the An family have no face to live, and the Lingyang An family is left behind.

Su Wanning was shocked by what was written above. The words were easy to understand, but she couldn't see them clearly.

I can’t imagine what a tragic situation that was.

He put away the mirror and folded the paper in his hand while thinking about what was written on it.

If I'm not mistaken, the general inside should also be from the Zhan family.

If he is really from the Zhan family, then everything is connected.

She probably guessed why the Zhan family would eventually perish.

Zhan Bei saw Su Wanning put the things away and thought she must have finished reading it, so he asked, "What's written on it?"

Su Wanning shook her head. "It's been too long, I can't see clearly. It should be a letter from home."

After a pause, Su Wanning asked again, "But when is the Gengwu year?"

"This year is the Bingchen year, and there are still about fourteen years until the next Gengwu year. The cycle is sixty years."

Zhan Beiwang thought for a moment and continued, "The last Gengwu year should have been forty-six years ago. Why are you asking this?"

"That letter home was written in the Gengwu year." Su Wanning replied indifferently.

Forty years ago, that was probably when Zhan Beiwang’s grandfather held an important position in the military.

Perhaps someone had already started planning it since then.

For more than forty years, we have been setting up a chess game, taking every step carefully. No matter what choice we make, every move is a trap.

She finally realized that the variable Li Jingyu had mentioned was her.

So what if she guessed the chess game, since she was able to set up such a big chess game.

I'm afraid there were quite a few people like the only daughter of the An family who were ruined.

Since so many people's lives were taken, someone must be punished.

As for her, she might not be the only one who knows about it, but even if she is the only one who knows about it, she will not interfere.

Zhan Beiwang reached out to look at the letter from home, but was rejected by Su Wanning, "The rubbing is not clear, wait until you get back to read it."

After saying that, Su Wanning walked to other places in the cave, wanting to see if there was any other information.

Zhan Beiwang looked at Su Wanning's fleeing back and always felt that she seemed to be hiding something, but he couldn't say what it was specifically. Maybe it was just his illusion.

Jinhua, who had been holding a torch, was looking at the things she had copied from the table in a mirror while Su Wanning was using it.

Clearly reading all the information above, it is clearly not a letter from home.

Rather, it was a letter revealing the truth about the death of a family in the previous Gengwu year.

But the information above was too shocking, and she dared not speak.

What's more, her current master is Su Wanning.

Since Su Wanning intends to conceal it, she will definitely not tell anyone else.

Seeing that there was nothing in the cave, they packed up and went back.

On the way back, Su Wanning said nothing.

Zhan Beiwang also noticed that something was wrong with Su Wanning.

"what happened?"

"A little sleepy."

"We'll have time to rest for a while after we get back. Let's leave later today." Zhan Beiwang reached out and pulled Su Wanning over.

"Let's leave early and have a good rest when we get to the inn."

After all, after daybreak, there will be carriages passing by on the road from time to time, and it will be difficult to rest well even if you take a break.

Judging from the sky now, it will be dawn in another hour.

Let's move forward now. When we reach the next town, it will be almost dawn and time to open the city gates.

On the way back, they encountered many wild beasts, probably attracted by the smell of blood from the 'thank you gift' given to them by the tiger.

Su Wanning stretched out her hand to Mo Lan, "Leave these to me, otherwise you might attract more ferocious beasts."

He took the prey handed to him by Mo Lan and put it directly into the space.

It didn't take long before the beasts following them stopped.

Soon, they rushed down the mountain. Mo Ran, who had been at the foot of the mountain, had already built a fire. When he saw them coming back, he quickly stood up.

Each person was given a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Su Wanning took the water, took a sip and stared at the steam rising from the bowl in a daze.

Zhan Beiwang walked over to Su Wanning and patted her shoulder. "What's wrong? You've been absent-minded since you came out of the cave. Is it because of the letter from home?"

Su Wanning nodded and shook her head, "I was just touched by the story in that letter from home. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Which family is he from? Maybe I have heard some inside stories." Zhan Beiwang sat next to Su Wanning.

"Lingyang's home."

Zhan Beiwang frowned slightly, "Lingyang Anjia?"

Su Wanning looked at Zhan Beiwang's expression. Could he know something? But forty years ago, he hadn't been born yet. Even if he knew, he must have heard it from others.

"How much do you know?" Su Wanning replied again.

Zhan Beiwang nodded and said, "I just heard one of my subordinates mention it when I was at the border.

It is said that the An family in Lingyang has a daughter who is favored by a powerful man, but because the age difference between the two is too big, the An family does not want to agree.

He rushed to the capital to exchange his family wealth for a support, but the An family was just an ordinary wealthy family, and no one wanted to offend that powerful person.

The final outcome is up to fate. As for the outcome, although my subordinates didn't say it explicitly at the time, they could all guess the result."

After saying this, Zhan Beiwang also expressed regret.

"Have you ever heard other people on the border talk about similar things?" Su Wanning didn't expect that he knew it from his subordinates. Does that also prove that there are chess pieces planted in the army?

And there must have been more than one such incident. After all, the suicide note left by the An family stated that similar incidents had occurred in many families.

"There are indeed many, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time." Zhan Beiwang nodded, frowned, and looked at Su Wanning, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"That letter from home was from the An family." Su Wanning replied, so there really was someone in the army. If Zhan Beiwang had given some reaction after hearing those things, would the outcome have been different?

"If the affairs of the An family are really as your subordinates said, what would you do if you were a member of the An family? Or if your children encounter something worse than those things in the future, what would you do as a father?" After thinking for a while, Su Wanning asked Zhan Beiwang.
