Chapter 253, dare not recognize relatives

The expressions of the three brothers were exactly the same.

Three parts were stunned, four parts were shocked, and three parts looked at the wood carvings in astonishment.

Then they asked Zhao Bin in unison, who was held in Xie Shuche's hands like a dead dog, "Where did you get this pendant?"

Zhao Bin lowered his head lifelessly.

Xie Shuche shook his head anxiously, "Just tell me!"

"Third brother, don't get excited, let him speak slowly." Xie Zhongyan felt uneasy and stopped his third brother's unwise behavior.

Xie Boqing reached out and held Zhao Bin's face, trying to see what he looked like clearly.

Zhao Bin, on the other hand, was stubborn and refused to cooperate at all.

"Look up and let me see you."

"Brother, just ask about the origin of the wood carving. What do you think of his face? He..."

"Third brother, don't disturb eldest brother."

"But……"

The people in the room were confused by the behavior of the three Xie brothers, and some people who had guessed had expressions of surprise and disbelief.

Zhao Bin, who was surrounded by the three brothers, although he did not continue to be beaten, was grabbed by Xie Er and Xie San, and finally his head was ripped off by the strong Xie Boqing.

Xie Boqing's eyes swept over Zhao Bin's face inch by inch.

Even though his face was completely exposed to the three Xie brothers, Zhao Bin still lowered his eyelids and did not dare to look at them with his eyes.

Suddenly.

Xie Boqing's hands trembled.

Following this, Zhao Bin's eyelashes began to tremble uneasily.

"Fourth brother!"

Xie Da suddenly tightened his arms and held Zhao Bin in his arms, "Fourth brother, I finally found you!"

Xie Shuche was stunned, "Fourth brother?"

Xie Zhongyan also came over and hugged each other.

At this time, Xie Shuche was even more confused, "Zhao Bin... he killed his fourth brother, how could he be..."

Xie Zhongyan raised his head, his sadness was palpable, "Third brother, he is our fourth brother!"

Xie Shuche couldn't accept it and took two steps back, "How is that possible?"

"The wood carving of the horse head he wears is exactly the same as ours. This is my father's craftsmanship."

"He was the one who robbed the fourth brother's wood carving!" Xie Shuche nodded affirmatively, "Yes, that's it. It must have been Zhao Bin who robbed the fourth brother's wood carving, so they started fighting. Zhao Bin, why did you rob my fourth brother? wood carving?”

"No, Zhao Bin is our fourth brother."

After Xie Boqing let go, he took the third brother's hand and asked him to take a closer look at Zhao Bin's face, "Look carefully, his eyebrows are exactly the same as those of the second brother and father. The dead one is not our fourth brother at all! That one is fake. , that one is a liar!”

When Xie's father died, Xie Shuche was also older. Although he could not remember his younger brother's appearance, he did remember his father's appearance.

He also glanced sharply at Zhao Bin's face.

The more he looked, the uglier his face became.

Sometimes I was surprised, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and finally started crying.

"Eldest brother and second brother, he... he is really more like the Xie family than that one, that... that..."

"I'm not, you admitted your mistake."

Zhao Bin, who had been keeping his mouth shut, suddenly denied it, "I am from Heyi County, not Jinyang County. My father is Zhao Chengzhuo and my mother is Hu Shiming."

Xie Boqing said, "If you weren't, why would you refuse so quickly and change the names of your parents?"

"You are, you are." Xie Zhongyan grabbed Zhao Bin and his eyes turned red with sadness, "Fourth brother, why don't you recognize your brother?"

"I'm not your brother, so why should I admit it or not?"

Zhao Bin took a deep breath and choked, "Please let me go."

Zhizhou spoke up at the right time, "Zhao Bin is from Heyi County, Chaozhou. Zhao Chengzhuo took him home thirteen years ago and adopted him as his adopted son."

The state government wants to investigate people, how come it can't find the information?

Zhao Bin's struggling hands stopped and his head dropped even lower.

Zhizhou's words made Xie Boqing even more suspicious, "Fourth brother, why don't you recognize your brother?"

"I...I'm not..."

"You are, why don't you recognize your brother?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Why don't you go home and recognize your brother?"

Zhao Bin collapsed when asked by the three brothers of the Xie family. His face that always maintained a fake smile finally couldn't hold back anymore, and he hid his face in shame, "I...I killed someone."

The subtext is that I am no longer worthy of being your brother.

"Fourth brother, it's all that Xibei guy's fault. He deserves to die. He recognized his relatives indiscriminately and robbed you of your identity. How could my eldest brother dislike you? It's all my fault that I didn't find you in time, so that Xibei guy pretended to be you.

I lost your identity."

Xie Boqing cried uncontrollably and kept blaming himself.

Xie Zhongyan still retained a trace of reason, "Fourth brother, what happened to the wooden horse head carving in the hands of the Xibei guy? Why don't you go home and recognize your relatives?"

Xie Shuche asked more directly, "What happened that night?"

Zhao Bin covered his face and cried, "It's not that I don't want to come back and recognize my relatives. I can't remember what happened when I was a child. I don't even know who I am."

It is said that men don’t shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.

His groan made Xie Boqing's eyes turn red, "Then what do you remember? How did you become Zhao Chengzhuo's adopted son?"

Zhao Bin said eloquently, "When I have memories, I woke up in a bandit's prison, and there were many children imprisoned in the prison."

"I was very scared at the time. Later, Shitou appeared. Because of him, I was released from the prison. He was the son of the bandit's second master who raped a lady. He was kind-hearted, and he was very similar to the adults and children who were full of bandits.

The difference is that Stone always takes care of me and has become my best friend. He and I are both horses, and he liked the wood carving on my neck, so I carved an exact one and gave it to him."

"After two years of this, my adoptive father and his family of four were taken to the mountain together with other traders. They were beaten to death and more than half injured. The adoptive mother also died of humiliation. The two brothers and the adoptive father were also beaten and partially disabled. Shitou and I took care of them at that time.

They. Bandits in Yanggong Mountain

When civil strife broke out, those of us who were captured on the mountain took advantage of the chaos and fled. Unfortunately, two brothers from the Zhao family died at the hands of the bandits. Shitou and my mother and I ran away. I took my adoptive father and escaped through a small road.

Later, I became Zhao Bin."

"It turns out that it was the bandits from Yanggong Mountain who did it!"

Lingnan has a well-deserved reputation for poverty, poor mountains, bad water, and unruly people. There are Japanese pirates outside and mountain bandits inside.

Chen Yuan and his party were exiled to Lingnan, but they did not encounter bandits along the way. This does not mean that there are few bandits, but that no bandits are willing to engage in loss-making business.

At the risk of beheading, the family members may not be able to get even two taels of silver if their families are looted and exterminated, and the risk is still high.

It's really not cost-effective.

The Xie family is a businessman, and if someone is missing from their family, even if they can recruit officers and soldiers with connections to investigate, it is impossible to attack every hilltop. They can only go to the hilltop closest to the place where the accident occurred.

Unexpectedly, we encountered this group of unruly criminals in Yanggongshan...

"Blame it on me. It was me who brought that Xibei product home. It's all my fault that I was too excited and let it go." Xie Zhongyan felt extremely guilty.

"I don't blame the brothers, I just blame the vagaries of the world. Who would have thought that people's hearts can change. The stone that was so eager to help others has changed its appearance. I...I didn't want to kill him. I don't even think that the horse's head is a token of recognition."

I know, that day..." Zhao Bin raised his head to prevent tears from falling.
