Lu Shisan said: "Qin He retired and returned to his hometown ten years ago. It was actually very unexpected."

"Very abrupt?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

Lu Shisan said, "According to the records of the shadow guard, before Qin He retired and returned to his hometown, he completed the tasks of the Ministry of Works very seriously, and played chess and drank with his friends, without showing any signs of resigning and returning to his hometown. ,"

"But suddenly, he asked Your Majesty to retire and return to his hometown."

"This incident surprised several of Qin He's friends."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

Resigned without warning and went into seclusion.

According to Lu Shisan, this was obviously a sudden departure.

Perhaps, even Qin He himself did not expect that he would suddenly resign and go into seclusion.

Shen Lian asked: "Did anything happen or anything special happen to him before he resigned and went into seclusion?!"

Lu Shisan shook his head, "The shadow guard did not record that he encountered anything special. I think everything should be normal."

"Oh, right."

Lu Shisan said: "The official found out that the days when Qin He retired and returned to his hometown coincided with the days when the Temple of Heaven was repaired."

Shen Lian's eyes flickered a little.

He nodded slightly and said, "Then what? Did anything happen to him after he returned home?"

Lu Shisan said: "At first, when he returned to his hometown, he was warmly welcomed by the village officials and fellow villagers. After all, he was once the minister of the Ministry of Industry and had a very high position, so no one dared to do anything against him."

"Even the people in the government were very polite. In the first few years, everything was as usual. However, in the seventh year, which was the year of his death, something unexpected happened."

Shen Lian asked: "What accident?!"

Lu Shisan said: "One day, Qin He went to the temple to pray, but never came back. The family was worried and hurriedly looked for him, but found that he could not be found. He seemed to be missing. The Qin family was worried and hurriedly looked for him. The government, I hope the government will come forward to find him."

"Qin Hegui was the former Minister of Industry, so the government naturally did not dare to delay. However, Qin He had already gone back before the officials could take action."

"According to what Qin He said, he got lost in the mountains and it was dark again, so he found a cave to rest for the night and returned the next day. Less than half a month had passed. Qin He He then passed away and passed away."

Shen Lian's eyes flashed as he listened to Lu Shisan's story.

He said: "Qin He is lost?"

"He's been back home for seven years, and he's still lost?"

Lu Shisan listened to Shen Lian's inquiry and wondered: "Xiaoguan is also very strange. It is not the first time that Qin He went to that temple to pray for blessings, nor has he just returned home. He is not familiar with the roads there, but he He said he was lost personally, so his relatives and the local government all chose to believe this reason because Qin He was older and his mind was no longer so sharp."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.

The local government chose to believe this reason because they were unwilling to magnify the matter.

After all, if the superiors knew that under their rule, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry was lost and almost had an accident, this would affect their official assessment.

As for Qin He's family, who knows whether they really believe it or not.

If they say they believe it to the outside world, maybe it's just to help Qin He cover up something.

Moreover, Qin He died less than half a month after that incident.

It's hard to say what happened the night Qin He was lost.

Perhaps, it was this night that caused Qin He to die not long after.

Shen Lian said, "After Qin He's death, did you check his body?!"

Lu Shisan shook his head, "The Qin family paid close attention to it, and when he died, the Qin family watched him. The Qin family buried him soon, so the shadow guard had no chance, let alone reason. Go and examine the bones."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

This is understandable.

After all, at that time, no one thought that there was something wrong with Qin He's death, and his family was always there. If the shadow guards were rude and insisted on checking the body, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

However, in this way, why Qin He died will remain a mystery forever.

Unless the Qin family is called for questioning, it will take at least seven days to come and go.

Shen Lian doesn't have that much time to waste.

Shen Lian said: "After Qin He died, did anything unusual happen to the Qin family?"

Lu Shisan said: "After Qin He's death, some members of the Qin family moved away, as if they were divided. The second and third sons of the Qin family went to Xiangyang and Yangzhou respectively, leaving only the eldest son of the Qin family in the old house. .”

"Moved?!"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, "Do you know the reason?!"

Lu Shisan shook his head: "The Qin family has not told the outside world, but they will move away, just for a few things, such as hatred when dividing the family property, or differences between brothers."

Shen Lian pondered for a moment and said, "There is another possibility."

"What?"

Shen Lian said meaningfully, "Qin He's request."

"Qin He's request?!"

Lu Shisan was startled, "Why would he want to separate his sons?"

"Maybe it's to avoid disaster?"

"Escape from disaster?!"

Lu Shisan was stunned for a moment, but soon he seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened, "What you mean is..."

Shen Lian looked deeply and said: "I can only guess, but combined with Qin He's disappearance and his death soon after his return, plus the fact that Qin He's children were immediately separated after his death, it is really surprising. I can’t help but wonder if all of this is related.”

"If everything goes as I expected, then Qin He would have some foresight. If his children are separated, if something unexpected happens, at least he can disperse the danger and leave his blood."

Lu Shisan frowned.

He said: "Who is going to harm Qin He?"

Shen Lian's eyes were deep and he said: "Didn't the place where we are already give us the answer?"

Lu Shisan raised his head sharply.

Shen Lian said: "Okay, I have worked hard for you today. You have been running around for a long time. Now you can have a good rest. Although more than ten years have passed, many clues and evidence have been lost in the long river of time, but now Some of the things still helped me restore the truth of the matter."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shisan hurriedly asked: "What are they looking for?"

Shen Lian raised a meaningful smile on his lips and said: "A key."

"key?!"

Lu Shisan was startled.

He wanted to continue asking, but saw that Shen Lian had turned around.

Shen Lian said: "Let's go. It's time to reveal the truth about all this. It's also time to see through some people's lies."

Shen Lian returned to the crowd.

Deshun saw that Shen Lian had just been secretly talking to Lu Shisan, and Lu Shisan looked very surprised, as if Lu Shisan knew some secret that surprised him.

This made Deshun extremely curious.

He couldn't help but ask: "Master Shen, Master Lu, have you gained anything by going here?"

When Yuan Tiangang and others heard this, they all looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian's eyes swept over their faces one by one, taking in their expressions.

Immediately, he slowly said: "More than ten years have worn away a lot of things, and the traces of time have obscured many clues."

"However, no matter how time changes, the truth will never change because of time."

"What was it like in the past? What is it like now and what will it still be like in the future?"

Listening to Shen Lian's meaningful words, Deshun and others couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Before they could ask further questions, Shen Lian smiled and said, "What I mean is that I already know the truth behind these strange things that happened more than ten years ago."

Brush it.

After hearing Shen Lian's words, the eunuchs, guards, officials from the Ministry of Industry, and Yuan Tiangang all widened their eyes slightly.

They all looked at Shen Lian, and Deshun said in disbelief: "Master Shen, you... do you know the truth of all this?!"

"This, in just such a short time, you know??"

He was really surprised.

After all, he came here with Shen Lian.

Before Shen Lian arrived here, he knew more about this place than Shen Lian did.

Then wherever Shen Lian went, he accompanied Shen Lian, and he listened to every word Shen Lian talked to others.
