When Ye Ying returned to the room, Shen Jianxin had already drank the third cup of tea in the room, and was bored counting the embroidery on the paper window.Ah Yan was tied up and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. His method of binding people is very skillful, not like using it on people, but like a vegetable market used to tie up bastards.

Seeing him coming, Shen Jianxin opened an overturned glass and poured him a glass too.

"How did the talk go?"

Ye Ying shook her head slowly: "The Patriarch of the Qin family thought he knew too much and was afraid of being silenced, so he wanted to put all his eggs in one basket and find a way out for his daughter. Just now, the servant came to report, and the person has already..."

Shen Jianxin was silent for a while: "He is a loving father."

He also said: "If today's affairs are successful, I'm afraid that Master Qin's life will also be placed on the head of Hidden Sword Villa. If you can't force it, if you kill the whole family, you will either agree to cooperate with the Spike Army; or your reputation will be ruined for a hundred years. A stigma that can’t be washed away... It’s really a good trick. And I clearly didn’t want to give people a chance to choose, I’ve already inquired about it, and the government here has bribed it, I’m afraid it’s going to arrest you directly.”

Ye Ying lowered her head and drank tea without saying a word.

After Shen Jianxin finished speaking, he made a final decision: "Their people will come over tomorrow, so let me go with you."

Ye Ying frowned: "This is a matter in my Hidden Sword Villa, why bother..."

Shen Jianxin waved his hand: "The owner should stop persuading, this trip is all over, but it's just an extra trip. If you really think I'm at a loss, just forgive me the previous debt. I still owe you two and a half cups."

One was broken a few years ago, and the other three were broken by sword fighting between him and Ye Wei.Shen Jianxin obediently recognized his half.But in his heart he couldn't help slandering, this Ye Wei was reincarnated well, if he was born in an ordinary family, how could there be so many things that would harm him.

And Ye Fan, when he eloped with Tang Xiaowan, he could recognize half of the village's sworn brothers.I heard that when I first learned swords, I cut off a piece of the eaves, which is really worrying.

He turned the white porcelain teacup, stared at the lines on it for a while, and said to Ye Ying: "You are not good at coming out, and the rest of the Ye family are not suitable, so let me talk about it."

"It's work."

Ye Ying remembered that Li Wangsheng had complained to them when they left Chunyang.

"That heartless Shen Jianxin, I pretended to be sick a few times, and finally tricked him back once, but let you hide your sword and cut off your beard, can I not shave both of your pens?"

He looked carefree, but thoughtful.At first he was clearly unwilling to go with him, but what made him change his mind?

Ye Ying wanted to find a chance to ask, but because of this barrier, she could only temporarily suppress these thoughts.

When Ah Yan woke up, she found herself in the woodshed.She looked up at the sky, and it was only about an hour since the time she started.

Shen Jianxin sat at the door of the firewood room, dazed with a blade of grass in his mouth.When he was not talking or fussing, he had a bit of a dusty temperament, looking from a distance, he looked like snow in February in the Pure Yang Palace.

It's a pity that Ah Yan didn't have the heart to appreciate it, she watched it warily, thinking about ways to escape.

Shen Jianxin didn't look at her, just stared at the moon outside the window, the air was strangely quiet for a while.

He suddenly said: "Your father is dead."

The woman's eyes widened suddenly, and then she quickly adjusted her emotions, and said with a sneer, "You think this little trick can fool me? Ni Lang swore to me that he would protect me and my family. My father is in good health, and he can still eat three bowls at the age of Jiazi, Shen Daxia is very capable, he can call a living person dead with just a touch of his mouth."

Shen Jianxin glanced at her silently, and there seemed to be pity in his eyes. He dug in his bosom for a while, and took out a letter.With two fingers between them, he threw it lightly at Ah Yan's feet.

"This is left by your father, open it and see for yourself."

He sighed softly, and turned his head to look out the window again.

Ah Yan still had a look of guard on her face, she stared at Shen Jianxin vigilantly, seeing that he was no longer looking at her, she took a look at the envelope by the moonlight, and suddenly felt struck by lightning.

Her father's handwriting, when she was still a yellow-haired girl, was held on her lap to read.She picked it up with shaking hands, and unfolded the letter paper little by little.There is also a bunch of keys inside, which are covered with blood, which has long since dried up.Ah Yan recognized at a glance that it was the key to a secret village in his home, and stood still for a while like a puppet.She seemed to have been deprived of her voice, her lips trembled violently, but she couldn't speak a word.The violently rising and falling chest was like a bulging bellows, which seemed about to burst in the next second.

Shen Jianxin said in a deep voice: "Your father knew that you entrusted someone to someone else, and he also knew that they were eyeing the Qin family's property, and this would happen eventually. He is willing to surrender his life to Cangjian, and only asks that we can protect him afterwards." You are considerate."

The letter was written by the old man of the Qin family at the beginning of the month. It is not so much a letter as a suicide note.During his lifetime, he was kept by a loyal old servant, Haosheng, and was sent to Cangjian Biezhuang after the master died.

He and Ye Ying checked the content of the letter, and there was no trace of resentment, they only explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail, and prepared money to make future plans for her.The letter was long-winded, as if there were endless things to say to my daughter.Add more clothes in winter, don't be greedy for coolness in summer... A piece of love for a daughter is vividly written on the paper, which is really moving.

He held the letter paper, as if holding the heart of a father who would not die.

Ah Yan's heart was broken, Shen Jianxin took a breath, hardened his heart, and said coldly: "They wanted to steal the owner's private seal to forge the collaborating documents. I didn't expect someone to steal Can Xue's scabbard first, which attracted the hidden sword. The guards are on high alert, and the guards are airtight. The plan that has been planned for many days suddenly came to naught, and then I thought of planting and framing, and sent the dead... That is, you are here, wanting to be charged with robbing a good house and coercing people to kill people. .”

"I guess he must have told you that he just cut a few cuts and pretended to be forced, and then someone will come to respond. Do you know that your good Ni Lang poisoned your dagger, and a small cut will kill you. It can kill you. Your father had fourteen sword wounds, and he was killed every time. Before he died, he still cared about your safety, and he couldn't close his eyes until he died. Now, do you still want to work for him?"

Ah Yan clutched the letter, tears rolled down, and the ink stained on the wet paper.

Without saying a word, she knelt down for a while, looking up at Shen Jianxin.

"Let me see him again."
