Zeng Xian was silent for a while, then leaned back and spoke frankly: "... Your parents lived in Fujian all year round. When the Jiang family got into trouble and their property was confiscated and they were imprisoned, they happened to be in Fuzhou delivering tea. After hearing the news, they secretly investigated. After all, we were too close, and your aunt didn't pay attention to many things when she talked. Soon they became suspicious and actually investigated the coastal bandits and paid a high price to get the original account books... Those account books couldn't be traced to me for a while, and I didn't want to kill them all for this. I just sent people to follow them and take back the account books. Who knew that they hid in the Shijian Tea Garden in Wuyi Mountain, where the vegetation was surrounded by fog. Those people broke in several times but failed. In order to force them out, they came up with the bad idea of setting fire to the mountain. Unexpectedly, the tea garden had just stored a lot of gunpowder to build a road on the mountain. Once the fire started... the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and everything was gone. Among those people I sent, only two who were guarding the mountainside came back, but their internal organs were severely damaged, and they died in a few days..."
Blake Harrison was stunned for a long time after hearing this. He sneered intermittently for a while before saying, "No wonder, we couldn't find anyone who knew the truth after digging deep in the ground for so many years. When we traced the source of the gunpowder, we found that it was under my parents' name."
"After I became blind, I finally had some free time, so I went to Mount Wuyi. I almost met with an accident on the mountain. Are you afraid that I would find out something, and you want to kill me to silence me?"
"I didn't want to!" Zeng Xian argued, "How could I want to kill you? I don't know what the situation is on Mount Wuyi. I can only find someone to stop you first. He just found some people to act according to circumstances and didn't want to really kill you... But the people have been reduced to ashes. If you insist on pursuing it, you can't blame me!"
Blake Harrison speculated, "The fake monk on Mount Wuyi is the person you are looking for, right? The coins minted in the sixth year of Longtai were confiscated and destroyed after only three months of issuance due to the deviation of the copper quantity. The person who has this as a token of trust is not an unknown person, right? Who is he?"
