Chapter 260 The Miao Youth is a Proud Male Supporting Character (37)
Suhebei's tears fell like pearls from a broken string. He choked and mumbled something, but everyone present looked at each other in confusion, and no one could understand what he said.
He grabbed Lin Shen's sleeve tightly, as if it was his only life-saving straw, and started mumbling again.
From his expression and intermittent tone, one can feel his inner pain and despair, but Lin Shen frowned, looking confused.
Lin Shen raised his hand hesitantly and patted Su Hebei's shoulder gently, trying to comfort him.
However, this slap seemed to trigger a deeper sadness. Su Hebei's crying became louder and louder, making Lin Shen's face turn dark and he seemed a little at a loss.
He turned his head to look at Yu Wuyan and Shang Xun, but happened to catch them staring at Su Hebei fiercely. Lin Shen frowned as he didn't have time to look away.
The two men turned their heads away awkwardly, one looking down at the floor, the other looking up at the roof.
The weird atmosphere is really overwhelming.
Just like that, Su Hebei held Lin Shen's sleeve and cried for a long time, until the crying gradually subsided and Lin Shen's heart became numb.
Finally, Su Hebei stopped sobbing. He embarrassedly patted his sleeves that were wrinkled by himself, glanced at Lin Shen quietly, and found that the other party was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He sighed inwardly, feeling that his image in front of Lin Shen was becoming increasingly shabby, which was really embarrassing.
Now that the crying was over and the atmosphere had eased a little, Lin Shen hurriedly asked about the contents of the letter.
Su Hebei's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered that he had already said it.
Lin Shen was stunned, Yu Wuyan and Shang Xun were also stunned, and then they realized that what Su Hebei had just muttered was actually the content of the letter!
It's just that he couldn't speak clearly, so no one could understand him.
So they asked Suhebei to say it again.
Su Hebei blushed and recounted the contents of the letter again.
After hearing this, Lin Shen pondered for a moment and sorted out his thoughts.
The letter was written by Su Hebei's father Su Lie. The letter mentioned that more than ten years ago, the Su family villa obtained the Lingshuang sword technique and owned the Lingshuang sword, which made it famous in the world.
Su Lie even learned the eighth move of the Lingshuang sword technique, which made the Su family's status in the martial arts world increasingly higher, and they were on the verge of becoming the leader.
Su Lie was even more full of energy and vigor for a while.
But behind this glory, people will naturally be jealous.
Not to mention that the Su family has always been unwilling to cooperate with the royal family. The royal family is too complicated and they don’t want to get involved in this muddy water.
But now the Jianghu is headed by the Su family, and the royal family naturally needs their support, but the Su family is unwilling to give in.
Therefore, the royal family and some families suppressed by the Su family united and prepared to suppress the Su family.
They found the governor as a breakthrough point, which would not only allow them to destroy the Su family, but also allow them to obtain the Lingshuang swordsmanship and the Lingshuang sword.
The letter did not mention which families were cooperating with the royal family, but Lin Shen already had a guess in his mind.
There is no connection between Jin Xu'an and the Su family's affairs. After all, he was still young at that time. It is impossible for him to scheme against others at that time. Moreover, Jin Xu'an was just a prince who was bullied at that time.
But the extermination of the Miao clan was naturally directly related to him.
The Jin emperor was about to die, and the other princes were either demented or sickly. Only Jin Xu'an looked normal, so he became the best heir.
But Jin Xu'an had actually been poisoned, but the emperor had not yet noticed it.
Jin Xu'an was not favored in the early days, but there were always people who were afraid of the prince, so he was given a Miao poison, and the poison had already penetrated into his bone marrow. It was said that only the secret treasure of Miao could save him.
Lin Shen's father has always looked down on the royal family, so naturally he would not give the secret treasure to him.
This is also the reason why the Miao people suffered the tragedy of genocide.
As for what the secret treasure is, Lin Shen has no idea, and it is not clearly explained in the story.
He only knew that Jin Xu'an eventually ascended the throne but died a few years later.
Lin Shen knew clearly in his heart that the families that participated in the extermination of the Su family were the so-called friends of Su Lie in the Northern Territory, right?
Otherwise, how could they easily attack the Su family’s villa?
But the truth behind this still needs to be explored slowly.
This is roughly what happened. After listening to Su Hebei's story, the four of them were silent for a long time.
"We should first find those who cooperated with the royal family back then." Lin Shen spoke. Someone broke the silence, and naturally someone else took up the conversation.
Su Hebei nodded.
Lin Shen said thoughtfully: "Do you still remember who adopted you first after the incident?"
Su Hebei was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly darkened, "Are you talking about the Zhang family?"
The current head of the Zhang family is a good friend of Su Lie’s generation. He is most likely an insider and may even have directly participated in the events of that year.
After all, it was the Zhang family who adopted Su Hebei after Su Lie's death. However, the Zhang family's attitude towards Su Hebei was always a little strange, which made Lin Shen feel strange.
"I always feel like there's something wrong with the Zhang family. Why were you adopted, but nothing happened to them?"
Several people thought about it for a while, and probably had some guesses in their minds. After the Su family was wiped out, the Zhang family actually dared to adopt Su Hebei, and did it openly. Isn't he afraid of revenge?
But it is obvious that the Zhang family does not seem to be afraid, and the reason why they are not afraid is actually very simple. The people behind them are the royal family, the powerful family that is in collusion with the royal family.
I think he thought that Lingshuang swordsmanship and Lingshuang sword were in Su Hebei's hands, so he pretended to adopt them.
So their target was naturally the Zhang family.
The four of them sat together and discussed the next plan of action.
They decided to go to Zhang's house first, observe the Zhang family's attitude, and then make further plans.
After the discussion, they decided to set off again tomorrow.
After all, it was too late to act immediately. Besides, they also needed time to prepare some necessary items and plans.
Lin Shen stood up, stretched, and said, "Let's stop here today. Everyone should rest early and get enough rest. We have a tough battle to fight tomorrow."
Lin Shen tilted his head and said, "Remember to tell your sister."
Shang Xun nodded and looked at Lin Shen without blinking.
Su Hebei looked like he was troubled. He nodded silently without saying anything.
Lin Shen stood up and looked out the window. The night had already enveloped the earth, and twinkling lights were twinkling in the distance.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, then walked out of the room, and Shang Xun followed him silently.
He had nothing to say, so he just stayed with Lin Shen.
The four of them returned to their own rooms and prepared to rest.
