This mountain is mine

Chapter 239 Deep Powerlessness

Yang Hao has always wanted to get close to this man and find out his details, but he has been unable to find a way. Unexpectedly, he would come to him on his own initiative today.

He also admitted without hesitation that he knew the dumb girl.

It's a little different from what he thought.

He couldn't help but think about this person's purpose and intentions, but it's not easy to ask them face to face. However, he is leaving anyway, and the Yu family is also leaving. This little girl named Zhuo Ya will soon have nothing to do with them .

No matter what the machinations, there is no chance to be found.

Yang Hao pressed his thoughts, and did not interrupt Shi Shuhui's communication with this man.

Fortunately, Shi Shuhui still remembered that Yang Hao's hand was injured, so she didn't say much, she only promised this man that she would let Zhuo Ya go back, because she just saw that she was pitiful and had nowhere to go.

Hearing this, Yang Hao's eyes flickered slightly, it was clear that this girl purposely sought out Yu's house and lived opposite Yu's house, could she have nowhere to go?

The black-faced man knew that Yang Hao lived next door and could expose their lies at any time, yet his face remained calm and composed.

Yang Hao remained calm and didn't want to get too entangled with them, so he left with Shi Shuhui quickly without saying a word.

Shi Shuhui obviously didn't know Yang Hao, nor did he know his identity, and Yang Hao didn't reveal it, so he went to a pharmacy to bandage him, saw Shi Shuhui entering from a distance, and then went to the small yard he rented.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the city of Bianjing is brightly lit, and the fireworks bloom until Zishi.

Yang Hao stood quietly in front of the window for a while, and when the outside gradually became quiet, he was about to go to sleep when he suddenly heard a rustling sound on the roof.

He fixed his eyes and quickly blew out the candles. There was snow outside the courtyard tonight, so it was not too dark. Yang Hao hid in the dark and held his breath.

I don't know how long he waited, until his legs and feet were a little numb, and he heard a few murmurs, vague and annoyed sounds, which seemed to come from the next door.

Yang Hao listened intently, but couldn't hear anything clearly. Not long after, he heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard. They came from stepping on tiles. He didn't know if the footsteps were from the same group of people just now.

However, it should not be directed at him, Yang Hao heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to take a rest, but saw a slender shadow flashing past the window paper.

When he froze, he heard a deep voice from outside saying: "Can you borrow the son's place to hide for a while? I live next door to you, I don't have any malicious intentions, if you want to know, I am willing to tell you."

Yang Hao frowned when he heard this, and looked out through the gap between the windows, just in time to see the pair of crutches and the somewhat blurred profile of the man.

The other party took his silence as a refusal, and said: "Let's forget it if you don't want it, and I will take my leave."

At this time, Yang Hao opened the door. He thought that he couldn't stop the black-faced man. If this man really wanted to break in, he couldn't help it. The patrol team hasn't come yet, and there is no way to ask for help. People can be regarded as polite, just listen to what he wants to say.

"come in."

"Thank you son."

As soon as the door opened, the man and the black-faced man came in one after the other, bringing in a chill.

Yang Hao then closed the door, and at this moment, he heard a knocking sound, and the sound of uniform footsteps coming from far and near, and the patrol team came.

Yang Hao lit the candle again, and the three of them didn't speak. After the sound of footsteps outside the house had passed, Yang Hao lifted the copper pot from the small stove on one side, took two bowls and a water glass, and poured hot water.

At this time, Yang Hao asked, "Who are you? What is the purpose of approaching the Yu family?"

The man took a sip of hot water with a calm face. He was not surprised by Yang Hao's question. He obviously knew that Yang Hao had been staring at them for three or two days. He didn't even ask about Yang Hao's relationship with Yu's family. The previous performance, plus today's Yang Hao helping Shi Shuhui, there is nothing I don't understand.

It must have a close relationship with the Yu family.

Slowly said: "Under Xiao Jinzhao."

Yang Hao stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the chair, the candle was blown by him, and suddenly swayed, the room was completely dark, and when Yang Hao stood still, it gradually became brighter again.

"Xiao Jinzhao?"

This name has been forgotten by now, but Yang Hao had only carefully read the history of Yu Zhaoming's old case not long ago, so he naturally knew this name, and he also inquired about this person afterwards.

Because the old case of the Yu family was involved with the blood moon, although the emperor tried his best to suppress and ignore it, he still wrote down the details of the case and the evidence in the notice.

Xiao Jinzhao appeared once in this case.

In the Battle of Qigou Pass, the Song Army was defeated. In addition to Yu Zhaoming's notoriety, there was another name who became famous because of this battle. It was the young general Xiao Jinchao, and everyone in Liao knew everyone.

Although there was an inner ghost in the Song army, which leaked the plan of the marching formation, it could not cover up Xiao Jinzhao's brilliance. After that, Xiao Jinzhao confronted the Song army several times, and in one go, stabilized the border of the Liao Kingdom, and the momentum of the Liao Kingdom What's more, from defense to offense

Xiao Jinchao was proud of his official career, and became the Generalissimo of the Liao Army in his early twenties, but for unknown reasons, he suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago.

That's all Yang Hao knew.

He stared fixedly at the man who called himself Xiao Jinzhao, thinking that it might be possible if he retired because of the deformity of his leg.

Although Xiao Jinzhao was not the culprit, but he was from Liao. He stepped on the bones of Song people to the top, and Yang Hao couldn't like him.

However, because he was educated by the Yang family, although the Yang family of Bozhou admitted that he was from the Song Dynasty and also descended from the Song Dynasty, he did not have any sense of belonging.He treats Song, Liao, Xia, Dali, and Tubo equally, and does not particularly dislike any country, and his attitude is still objective.

Although during this period of time, Yang Hao has regarded himself as a member of the Yu family, but after many years of education there, he has no hatred for Xiao Jinzhao. Except for the moment when he heard the name, he was a little emotional, and now he calmed down slowly. Yes, but still sane.

He didn't doubt the man's words, but only asked, "Purpose?"

Xiao Jinzhao also did not hide it, saying: "A while ago, I was hunted all the way to Bianjing, I was seriously injured, and was rescued by others. The person who rescued me asked me to testify and reverse the old story of the Yu family. Zhuo Yajin The Yu family is following the arrangement of benefactor."

Yang Hao was taken aback, and stared at Xiao Jinzhao in disbelief, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Xiao Jinzhao also seemed to find it quite ridiculous, so he paused and said, "I owed favors to others, and now I owe you. Xiao told me bluntly. I also know what happened back then. Now that Song and Liao are on good terms, we There is no scruple in testifying, as long as... you are willing, I am willing to repay you with this."

That person didn't ask Xiao Jinzhao to tell Yang Hao at that time, but because he was avoiding disaster with Yang Hao, thinking that Yang Hao had a close relationship with the Yu family, he would know sooner or later, so Xiao Jinzhao said it directly, which was not counted as the previous relationship with the Yu family. That person's breach of contract.

After finishing speaking, she looked at Yang Hao quietly, waiting for his answer.

Yang Hao was silent for a while, thinking quickly about the possibility in Xiao Jinchao's words.

After a long time, he asked, "What is the relationship between Zhuo Ya and you?"

Xiao Jinzhao smiled wryly when he heard the words, "She is my daughter."

Hearing this, Yang Hao tightened his hand holding the water glass, and his knuckles turned white.

In fact, Xiao Jinzhao was also very puzzled by the arrangement of the benefactor who saved him. If he really wanted to testify for the Yu family to overturn the case, he could have come forward when the old case of the Yu family was full of turmoil. Why did it take so long to show up? ?
And why did Zhuo Ya stay in Yu's house for so long, going in and out, and showing up with Shi Shuhui several times, I'm afraid that someone who is interested would know that Zhuo Ya lives in Yu's house.

Xiao Jinzhao and Yang Hao thought at the same time, is this binding the Yu family and Xiao Jinzhao?

With the testimony of a famous general from Daliao, his reputation is probably still there, and his words can still be trusted.

But here comes the question, why is a Liao general who massacred countless Song people willing to testify for the Yu family?

Even if he testifies to prove the innocence of the Yu family 16 years ago, and the Yu family has been wronged, will the people believe it?Would they think that he and the Yu family were old acquaintances?
In name, he won his innocence, but in fact, his reputation fell to the bottom.

His identity as a witness is really embarrassing.

For Yang Hao and the Yu family, this will be another gamble.

If Xiao Jinzhao directly took out the evidence without discussing it with the Yu family or Yang Hao, and was caught off guard, there was nothing he could do.

But I just want to tell him that there is a chance to reverse the case in front of him, and it is up to you whether you want to grasp it or not.But do you dare?
Yang Hao's breathing was a little disordered, did the person who arranged all this have a grudge against their Yu family?
Just like the blood moon incident, it was almost the same, it gave hope, but another problem arose, and this time it was even more difficult to choose.

"Who is that person? The person who asked you to be?" Yang Hao asked.

Xiao Jinzhao shook his head, "I don't know either."

He really didn't lie about this. He was seriously injured then, and he didn't have much time to be awake, and he didn't see the master behind the scenes. It was just conveyed by the ordinary-looking boy.Even if he saw that boy again now, he couldn't remember what he looked like.

Yang Hao was surrounded by a sense of powerlessness.

In this troubled world, the Yu family is just a doll that can be fiddled with between applause. When others are happy, they can fiddle with it once, and when they are unhappy, they can fiddle with it twice.

One thought of others can make you live, and one thought can push you to hell.

The most frightening thing is that they make your life worse than death, but you can't die.

who is it?He wasn't sure, but a little bit sure.He didn't dare to continue asking.

I don't know how long it took, but the water in the cup in his hand was completely cold. Xiao Jinzhao interrupted Yang Hao's contemplation, "Master, you can think about it slowly. As long as you need me, Xiao is still alive, so I should do my best."

Xiao Jinzhao can naturally see the lethargy surrounding this young man, that deep sense of powerlessness, he has also experienced it before, and it is still going on.

Yang Hao made him feel connected with fate, and he said the above words.

Yang Hao came back to his senses and said, "Don't tell the Yu family."

Xiao Jinzhao lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's late."

Today when he appeared in front of Shi Shuhui, Zhuo Ya would follow benefactor's instructions and tell the Yu family what he told Yang Hao.

Now, they must have known.

Yang Hao's body swayed slightly, as if he had been exhausted. He sat on the chair, his eyes were full of bewilderment, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Who is chasing you tonight?"

These words made Xiao Jinzhao's face darken.

Xiao Jinzhao only said indifferently: "It's the Jurchen. They came here today but they didn't find anyone. I'm afraid they will investigate secretly in Bianjing in the near future. You should move as soon as possible."

This is his powerlessness.

The Jurchen Ministry has slowly risen, and an internal alliance has been formed. He accidentally discovered the changes in the Jurchen Ministry. He wanted to investigate again, but encountered their internal strife. Instead, their whereabouts were exposed and they were hunted down.

After finally escaping, he went to secretly report to the Liao court, and because he was not used to the various extravagant and corrupt actions of the court and the emperor, he offended most people. Ting.This report did not attract anyone's attention at all. On the contrary, it gave the Liao government an excuse to impose additional tribute to the Jurchens.

The Jurchens and the Liao people were already on fire, and the Jurchens had such powerful weapons, I am afraid that a civil war in the Liao Kingdom would be inevitable.

Thinking of the corruption of the Liao court today, and because he got the old coins of the Song Dynasty, he was even more drunk and had no foresight. Xiao Ta died at the hands of Zhao Man a year ago, and even Xiao Jinzhao in the Liao Kingdom now has a high opinion of him. There are no generals in sight.

The decline of the Liao Dynasty made Xiao Jinzhao feel deeply desolate.

The man in black behind Xiao Jinzhao also had a serious expression on his face.

It's useless to talk to this boy, and he can't help him.

Yang Hao said "oh", he couldn't even handle his own family affairs, and the Jurchens seemed to be even further away.Without the slightest curiosity, he changed the question: "How long are you still in Bianjing?"

Xiao Jinchao said: "If the young master has made a plan, he will settle the matter before leaving. If the young master has not made up his mind, Xiao also has important things to do now, and he doesn't know when he will be able to finish it... But agree to the young master's matter. I won't break my promise, Zhuo Ya can follow the young lady of the Yu family, and Xiao will come back after finishing his work."

Xiao Jinchao is no longer incompatible with the Liao court, but he still wants to solve this hidden danger before the Jurchens are completely strong.

The Liao people took the initiative to pay attention to it, so he didn't count on it. He has a handicap and no hands. He just wants to steal a Jurchen weapon, but he has no ability. But he can find a partner and let others notice it.

who?During this period of time, Xiao Jinzhao also thought about it carefully, looking for the Song court?Their extravagance and arrogance are more serious than the Liao people, and they don't have the slightest sense of crisis at all. Who would believe him?Besides, the serving officials did not dare to get close to him.

He already had a candidate in mind.

Yang Hao nodded after listening to Xiao Jinzhao's words, and he had no more questions to ask.

This night, people who shouldn't have met, but who were equally powerless, sat together quietly until dawn.

The Yu family was also not peaceful.

The Yan family who originally planned to leave could only wait at home because Shi Shuhui was out. When Shi Shuhui came back, she talked about Zhuo Ya. Zhuo Ya was not dumb. The Yu family knew what Yang Hao just knew.

The Yu family thought, tormented and guessed for a while, until dawn, and like Yang Hao, they couldn't make up their minds.

It has to be said that the person who came up with this trick is really well versed in people's hearts.

This matter hangs in the hearts of the Yu family, like a hook, hooking their hearts all the time.

The wish that I have been looking forward to for 16 years is close at hand, but I can't take the last step.

If this opportunity is missed, there will be no more chances. The Yu family will be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. Although the descendants of the Yu family have been pardoned for this crime, they will have no future in the Song Dynasty, and even the relatives Children and grandchildren can't even recognize their surnames.

Can this opportunity be seized?
Yan doesn't know, why not do it?What will her descendants do?
Do?She didn't dare to gamble, if she lost the bet, thinking of the eyes and spittle of the world, even if she died, she would have no face to meet the ancestors of the Yu family.

Overnight, Yu Yan's life was very long.

Her hair, which was originally gray, is now completely white, and she is even more old after recovering from a serious illness.

It was already dawn, and Yan Shi still maintained the previous posture, leaning on the chair, tears rolled out of his tired eyes, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Your goal has been achieved."

Everyone in the room was startled, and Mother Jiang was the first to come to her senses, thinking that the old lady was in a daze, so she hurried over to look at her expression.

Shi also said worriedly: "Mother, what did you just say? Who?"

The corner of Yan's mouth twitched, and she fell forward to the ground.

Mother Jiang hurriedly supported Yan Shi, but when she saw the corners of Yan Shi's crooked mouth, saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, she screamed, "The old lady has had a stroke!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and raised it again.

"Go to the doctor! Go!"

"Mom, you can't fall down, you have to watch at home"

"Grandma, you."

"Old lady, this is a crime!"

Yan Shi is actually still conscious, she can see the moving figures in the room, and she can hear their voices.

She's just very tired physically and mentally, she doesn't want to move anymore, she also told herself not to fall, this family still needs you, you are the backbone, but she just can't move, she is really too tired.

For a moment, she thought again, it would be good if she died like this.

She wanted to be strong all her life, and she was strong at home when she was a child, comparing herself with others everywhere, marrying better than her sisters, and taking the well-known old man Yu into her pocket, which made many people envious.

Married, on the battlefield of the inner house, she strictly controls it, no matter how flamboyant the old man is, all the surviving children will crawl out of her stomach, this is her skill.

When the Yu family was in crisis, she did not admit defeat, and survived with a family of women in Fangling. In such an environment and situation, she did not fail, and she was able to save blood for the Yu family, which was only one step away. , she was only one small step away, and she would be able to wash away the grievances of the Yu family.

If this thing is done, she will be proud even if she dies.

She, Yan Shiqiuping, was an undefeated legendary woman in her life, and she could stand up straight in front of Mr. Yu even after she got out of hell, she was worthy of the Yu family.
