Chapter 137 Past Events
"Because he injured his leg, it was not suitable to move, and because our people are pure and kind, we did not drive him away while he was recovering from his injury.
So he stayed where we lived with his leg injury, and saw us during this period. The tribesman was good at understanding the nature of water. He repeatedly praised him and even pretended to ask questions. The tribesmen saw that he was eager to learn, so they also exchanged ideas with him.
After a period of treatment by my tribe, he was cured of his illness and left after he recovered. He brought things here to visit often, saying he was grateful for our tribe's life-saving grace. He
originally thought it was a good thing to repay a favor, but who would have thought that when he learned that our tribe was familiar with underground waterways, he began to feel unhappy. We recognized him.
First, we issued a military order to force the men of our tribe onto the boat to guide them in the battle. When the weather is good, our tribe’s judgment on entering the water is relatively accurate. When it rains heavily, the river water is turbid and it becomes difficult to see the direction clearly. , those people whipped them hard as long as they didn't point in the right direction, and many of our tribesmen lost their lives as a result.
With the help of our tribesmen, they attacked the water pirates for hundreds of miles and received many awards from the people above. He will. Not only did he take the credit, but he only intensified his efforts.
After the water pirates were repelled, he began to think about how he wanted us to hand over the water-seeing skills of the Shui Tribe, which were passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. How could we hand them over to outsiders? He refused immediately. When
he learned about this, he immediately put our clan members in prison and threatened to kill them all if they didn't sort out the situation.
My father led everyone to pretend to surrender, but in fact he followed us secretly. My grandfather discussed an escape plan, and later took advantage of the opportunity of surveying the waterway to cover us into a secret passage in the water, and then escaped.
However, in order to buy us time, my father was whipped to death by Shi Boen's people. My mother was very sad when she heard the news of my father's death, and eventually followed him."
After hearing this, Su Mingjue looked up at Baili and said, "Have you never thought of reporting this to the court?"
Bailixi heard this. With anger on his face, "Not long after we escaped, Shi Boen posted notices all over the city, saying that we were remnants of the water bandits. We couldn't hide in time, but we could still get closer."
"I have been living in the capital for several years, and just now At first, I thought about finding an opportunity to redress the injustice, but later I saw that the officials in the capital were protecting each other, so I gave up that idea and had no choice but to kill the enemy myself and find a good place for the tribe to live. "
Zong Jing Zhaoyin said . When investigating the case, Su Mingjue realized that being an official in the capital was indeed extremely dark, and it was normal for Baili Xi not to trust them.
"Now that the enemy has been killed, what are you going to do next?"
Baili Xi looked at the dark night ahead, with no end in sight. "Maybe the only thing left is to file a complaint to bring blessings to the clan."
Su Mingjue His throat was a little tight when he heard the words. He could hear the fearlessness of life and the final sadness in the other person's words.
Bailixi was willing to sacrifice himself to save the whole clan and get a place to live. He was really a good clan leader.
His heart sank and he thought for a long time. Maybe there was someone who could help solve this matter.
He and Baili Xi looked at each other and said, "What you are doing is no less than hitting a stone with an egg. If you can trust me, I can give you a try."
Baili Xi was stunned for a moment and tightened his lips, "This is not easy to do. , you better not get involved."
Su Mingjue looked at him, "You don't believe me."
Baili Xi closed his mouth tightly and didn't speak for a long time.
Su Mingjue really didn't want to see such a young person die. He took a deep breath and said, "Do you know who I am?"
"You just said that the rich and idle people from the south."
Su Mingjue chuckled. He said: "I didn't expect you would still have the time to tease me at this moment." He grabbed Baili Xi's hand and said, "Have you ever heard of King Jinling of Jinling City?"
Baili Xi's eyelids trembled slightly and he looked at Su Mingjue, his face He said with some disbelief: "Are you..."
Su Mingjue nodded, "Yes, I am his son Su Mingjue."
Baili Xi looked at him and frowned, "But how could the King of Jinling let him go?" "My legitimate son is alone in the capital."
Su Mingjue curled her lips and said, "I don't know what he thinks. He said before that he sent me to study in the capital because of my lack of knowledge and skills."
Baili Xi looked at him with some doubts on his face. : "Mingjue, you actually don't have to do it for me. I'm already prepared."
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Su Mingjue took out a golden token from his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "Look at this, you are always ready. Believe it!"
This gold medal was forced upon him by his mother, Mrs. Su, when he left. She said that if he encountered danger in the capital, he would show this token to others, and he would not be afraid of being disrespectful to others.
He has been holding it without using it, but he didn't expect to use it in a situation like today.
Bailixi took it and looked at it carefully. It was a round token made of pure gold, with lifelike dragons carved on both sides, auspicious clouds on it, and the three words "King of Jinling" carved in the middle. Li Xi looked at the workmanship and found that the grooves were made for Ouchi.
After Baili Xi inquired about it, he handed it back, and at the same time said with some confusion: "Why is this Jinling King's token in your hand?"
Su Mingjue laughed dryly, glanced in Mu Li's direction, and then looked away, He whispered to Baili Xi: "It's a long story. To put it briefly, my mother gave it to me."
Baili Xi smiled slightly when he heard this: "I didn't expect the princess to be a doting person."
Su Mingjue took the token . , stuffed it into his arms and said casually: "No, otherwise why would I have worked so hard to go north and come to this far away capital to study. But I don't regret it now. I am very happy to know so many of you here, so Baili Xi, you have to live well, otherwise I will be unhappy."
Baili Xi's eyes flashed slightly when he heard Su Mingjue's words. It had been a long time since his grandfather had heard anyone care about him so much.
After Su Mingjue sighed, he was completely unaware of the expressions of the people next to him. He stood up, patted Baili Xi and said, "So, you have to believe me, I will definitely be able to help you solve this problem."
Baili Xi's expression changed after hearing this . Calmly and calmly, he nodded slightly.
He didn't expect the young man in front of him to help him get things done, but he just had to accept the kindness shown to him by others.
After Su Mingjue comforted Baili Xi, the stone in her heart finally fell.
Although there is no specific solution yet, he finally saved a young man's life.
It's not that simple to file an imperial complaint. In the Jingzhao Yin Mansion alone, with that adult's attitude towards doing things, I'm afraid Baili Xi would be imprisoned before he could even beat the drum.
