Half an hour later, they sat back on the boat. The letter filled with delicate calligraphy was placed on the table, swaying gently in the wind.

As stated in the letter, the old lady had a concubine who was his childhood sweetheart. She had been favored for many years and was very arrogant. She never took the old lady seriously. How could the always arrogant old lady bear it? She killed the concubine while the old man was not around. The most important thing is that the concubine is pregnant. For fear of harming herself, the old lady left the Tang Mansion in the name of offering incense. Who would have thought that the carriage slipped down the hillside and fell, causing the tire to inflate and lead to premature birth. At that time, Grandma Luo and Grandma Wang delivered the baby in person. The child was born as a female baby and had died long ago. The old lady knew that if the old man knew about it, he would definitely divorce her, so she asked Grandma Wang to find a baby boy to bring back the fake one. They didn't find her in those days. The old lady settled in a place called Heishan Town. One day, Grandma Luo was waiting for the old lady to take a bath. Grandma Wang secretly came back with a child in her arms. That child was her father, Tang Zhongcheng. Grandma Wang said nothing. Only Grandma Wang knew the whereabouts of the child. Later, when her father was five years old, Grandma Wang wanted to leave, but the old lady poisoned her to death. Grandma Luo once secretly overheard a conversation between the old lady and Grandma Wang. She said that the child was secretly taken away from someone else's house, and that the family was looking for the child and the couple fell off a cliff and died.

Mrs. Tang watched her husband's eyes fall on the lake, held his hand and said gently: "Heishan Town is not far from us, we will find it."

Tang Zhongcheng sighed lightly, with a sad look on his face: "So what if I find it, what if it's really gone..."

Tang Jiao said hurriedly: "Father, even if my grandfather and grandmother are really dead, at least we can build their tombs and put incense sticks on them."

Lu Changze picked up the letter and said in a deep voice: "Heishan Town should not be big. There must be a criminal record for the disappearance of the child. He fell down the mountain and died. Just this fact, older people will know."

"Not bad." Tang Zhongcheng said with a white mist in his eyes, "Let's go to Heishan Town for a walk."

Thinking of those people's plans, Tang Jiao laughed out loud: "Let's go home quickly after our work, otherwise the stage will be set up and the protagonists won't be there. What a pity."

The sly smile in her eyes pleased Lu Changze, and his deep eyes showed a little bit of doting: "Jiao'er, don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. If they want to take action, they will definitely be patient."

"Don't be afraid of being late when you have a good meal. That's not the way to go." Tang Jiao opened her mouth to bite him, but she got angry when she looked at his handsome face: "The person who attracts bees and butterflies has the nerve to say it."

Lu Changze suddenly felt aggrieved: "Jiao'er wasn't attracted to my face in the first place."

"You were dreaming. You looked fierce at the time, but you thought it was beautiful."

At that time, he threw himself down and almost died of fright.

When Mrs. Tang saw that her daughter and son-in-law had a good relationship, her smile was full of emotion: "Fu Shang is a noble person to Jiaoer. If I hadn't met you when she fell off the cliff, I can't imagine what would have happened to her."

When you find the graves of your real father-in-law and mother-in-law, you must pay your respects. They must be protecting Jiao Jie.

"Jiao'er is my noble one."

If he hadn't met Jiao'er, Lu Changze thought, he would have died in agony.

She was like a ray of bright sunshine, which warmed his soul and illuminated his life, which was as dark as a deep pool. He would never let her go for the rest of his life.

Child Lu Chengjun looked at his mother, then at his father, and grinned.

At the beginning of the afternoon, they arrived at Heishan Town. Heishan Town is indeed not big, but it is not small either. It has a large population and many close-knit villages nearby.

They were not in a hurry and wanted to find an inn to eat.

As soon as he walked into the inn, the shopkeeper came towards him. When he saw Tang Zhongcheng, he froze on the spot.

Tang Zhongcheng said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, give us two tables of good wine and good food."

The shopkeeper came to his senses, responded with a smile and asked the waiter to go to the kitchen to inform him.

Before Tang Jiao sat down, a refreshing voice came from behind: "Madam."

Tang Jiao turned around and was very surprised when she saw Young Master Qingya in front of her: "Young Master Shan?"

Yes, the person in front of me is Shan Zhen whom I met in Cangzhou. I never thought he would appear here.

Lu Changze looked at the elegant man in front of him with a cold and suspicious look on his face, and his eyes were filled with evil spirits.

Where did this fly come from, staring at his woman.

Shan Zhen bowed to Tang Jiao and said with a gentle smile, "I came back to visit my relatives. I never thought that I would be so predestined with Madam."

Lu Changze put his arms around Tang Jiao's waist and looked at Shan Zhen with cold eyes: "Who are you?"

Tang Jiao heard the sourness in his tone and hurriedly explained: "Fu Shang is Mr. Shan, Shan Zhen, whom I met once in Cangzhou."

Shan Zhen was very calm: "I lost my wallet, but luckily my wife helped me find it."

"My wife has always been kind-hearted." Lu Changze held Tang Jiao's hand and said to Shan Zhen, "My surname is Lu."

Shan Zhen understood what he meant and hurriedly bowed: "Brother Lu, you are polite. In this case, I will not disturb you guys while they are eating, and I will take my leave."

After bowing to several people, Shan Zhen led his attendants away.

Tang Zhongcheng stroked his beard and sighed: "I never thought I would meet him again. It's such a fate."

The food was served quickly, and everyone forgot about the episode.

Tang Jiao saw that the shopkeeper was a bit old and hurriedly waved to him.

The shopkeeper looked kind, with white hair and beard, and neat legs. He quickly came to their table.

"Dear guests, do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Tang Jiao smiled and said, "The shopkeeper has been here for many years. I want to ask you about something."

The shopkeeper grinned, stroking his beard proudly and said: "This distinguished guest asked me the right question. I haven't been here for many years. I married my mother in Heishan Town when I was five years old, and I have been here for most of my life."

Mrs. Tang's eyes lit up: "Then you know a thing or two about the major events in Black Mountain Town in the past few decades, right?"

The shopkeeper is a good person. As soon as he heard this, he knew that she was asking about old events in Black Mountain Town. He smiled and said, "Speak first. As long as the villain knows, he will definitely tell you everything."

Tang Zhongcheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, do you remember that a couple fell off a cliff and died in the Showa decade?"

What did the shopkeeper think of when he heard this? His expression was complicated and difficult to understand. The smile on his face slowly faded, and his eyes looked at them with caution.

Tang Jiao smiled slightly: "Obviously the shopkeeper not only knew about it, he might also have known the deceased."

"Almost forty years ago, a couple did die after falling off a cliff while looking for their son. Who are you two?"

The shopkeeper still had a polite smile on his face, but there was a defensiveness in his smile.

Lu Changze raised his eyes slightly: "Can you first tell me what the case was?"

The shopkeeper noticed Lu Changze when he came in. The aura of this young man was too strong to be ignored.

The voice was obviously very casual, but it conveyed a sense of coercion, making the listener tremble with fear.

The shopkeeper sighed softly, stroking his beard and said: "That family's surname is Tang, the boy's name is Tang Wenzhi, and the girl's name is Tang Wenzhi. Not long after they got married, they gave birth to a son. Who would have thought that the child would be killed before he was one month old?" They broke into the house and robbed the child. The couple was heartbroken and sued the government. Everyone searched inside and outside but could not find the whereabouts of the child. Later, they heard that there was a similar child in a neighboring city, and the couple went to look for it. When we arrived, it was raining heavily and the carriage skidded. The two of them, including the driver, all fell off the cliff and died. When we found them, their bodies were all broken into pieces. It took me and his family a long time to put them together. "

No matter how calm the shopkeeper sounded, he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.

Tang Jiao stared at the shopkeeper, seeing his expression in her eyes, and had a suspicion in her mind.

The shopkeeper looked at Tang Zhongcheng, forced a smile and said: "This distinguished guest, I wonder why you are looking for him?"

Tang Zhongcheng sighed: "I am the missing baby back then."

what?

The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he heard his words. After a while, he held his hand and said in a trembling voice: "My child, are you really that baby?!"
