Chapter 191 The Secret Behind the Xu Family

To be honest, the Xu family was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of Qi Dynasty.

Of course, it only accounts for a small proportion.

The Emperor Anhe, who is now sitting in the hall, is the descendant of a native of Xuzhou. At the beginning of the previous dynasty, he was granted the title of King Jing, but it was not a hereditary title. By the generation of Emperor Anhe's father, there was no title anymore.

Emperor Anhe's father was a capable man who guarded his family. Although his family had lost its title, it was wealthy and prosperous, with the foundation and connections left by its ancestors. He was considered a local overlord in Xuzhou.

In the late period of the previous dynasty, the emperor was incompetent and domineering. He favored treacherous people and summoned talented people. He used the excuse of celebrating birthdays and the birth of princes to plunder treasures from all over the country.

Prepare to build Deyue Tower and Shengxiantai to practice the art of immortality.

As a well-known wealthy family, it was natural that An Hedi’s family would be invited.

Emperor Anhe, as the eldest son in the family at that time, was open-minded and broad-minded, and was best at getting along with others, so he was the one who went to the capital to present gifts and make public appearances.

It was also because of this treasure donation that the Xu family and other green forest forces who were working together to rob tombs noticed the place of Xuzhou.

Emperor An He had taken over the family's power at that time. As soon as he left, the old and young in the family basically stayed indoors.

After the Xu family and the green forest forces scouted the area, they decided to rob the tomb of King Jing, which was also Emperor Anhe’s ancestral tomb, before Emperor Anhe returned.

I don't know if it was because God wanted to add more hardships to Emperor Anhe, or if it was just a coincidence, but when the Xu family and a group of bandits entered King Jing's tomb, heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky.

The Xu family and the green forest stayed in the tomb for three days, and it rained outside for three consecutive days.

When they completely cracked the mechanism and entered the main tomb chamber, the mountain collapsed, and water mixed with mud, sand and rocks poured down from the mountain and headed straight for Xuzhou City.

The city of Xuzhou is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by green mountains.

After three consecutive days of heavy rain, the water level rose. Originally, the city could have taken temporary shelter by relying on the terrain of the mountain, but unexpectedly, a landslide occurred on the mountain and the people in the city suffered immediately.

Only the old and the young were left in An Hedi's house. Even though there were people left to protect them, they were still hit hard.

Before people here could recover, someone in the city instigated the people to cause trouble. They rushed directly to the rich families and gentry in the city, demanding food, money and even their lives.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities came together, and even the many servants in the house suffered greatly. Emperor Anhe's mother was so frightened that she fell ill and could not get up.

Yu Sanlang collected his thoughts and decided to tell An Hedi about this matter when he got back. His current behavior seemed to indicate that he had some guesses about An Hedi's identity, but he was not sure about that group of people.

Otherwise, if he couldn't associate someone with the three young masters of the Tan family who called him grandfather in such a close manner, then he would not be hiding his incompetence but exposing his stupidity.

The performance of the Xu brothers here was just what Tan Mengao wanted. His mother was the eldest princess and his father was a member of the Tan family. He had been surrounded by fawning flatterers since he was a child.

Due to his upbringing, Tan Mengao would not look at these flatterers like ants, but he also did not take them seriously. He was usually annoyed by what these people said and most of the time he was disdainful of them.

The Xu brothers in front of you are a little different. Their words and actions make you know that they are praising you, but you feel like you are being praised as a friend.

If Yu Hongdou knew what Tan Mengao was thinking, she would definitely spit at him. What a scoundrel.

At this moment, Yu Hongdou's focus was not on the Xu brothers at all. Tan Yanlin was handing her a note behind An Hedi.

"Do you want to go downstairs and ask the storyteller?" Tan Yanlin was holding the paper and pen that were placed in the private room as decoration.

"What do you want to ask?" Yu Hongdou took the brush from Tan Yanlin and drew a question mark. Suddenly, she remembered that the punctuation mark seemed to have not yet been invented.

"Ask if there are any other clues." Tan Yanlin replied.

Yu Hongdou glanced at Tan Mengao who was still chatting with the Xu brothers, and at Tan Langxiu who was staring at the Xu family with a bored look but deep eyes, and nodded slightly.

This farce was caused by her and her father, but when apologizing, no one remembered them.

It would be better to go out with Tan Yanlin.

Yu Hongdou tugged at her father's sleeve, pointed at Tan Yanlin, and then pointed at the door.

Yu Sanlang glanced at Tan Yanlin and saw him nod. Knowing that he would take care of his daughter, he let her go with him without any worries.

Yu Sanlang had nothing to worry about with the three young masters of the Tan family. Not to mention the guards following them, their own skills were also quite good.

The actions of the two people were actually not hidden from everyone present. Even the little movements behind An Hedi were clearly seen by him, so the two of them did not go out secretly, but openly.

Tan Mengao watched his brother go out, and didn't think much of it. After all, it's convenient to drink too much tea. But when he saw Yu Hongdou going out as well, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

Tan Langxu was about to step out when his good seventh brother grabbed him and said, "You and Uncle Yu are the victims, so go and see their apology together."

Tan Langxuan looked at his seventh brother silently, then looked at the closed door and stopped speechlessly.

"You are flattering me. It's just a small matter. We are just girls, just having a few words." Yu Sanlang evaded the question and refused to take on the identity of the victim.

It was obvious that they came for the Tan family. The gifts might have been specially customized for the young masters of the Tan family. Who did he think he was?

"Seventh brother, do you want to be a peacemaker with them?" Tan Langxuan looked at his seventh brother with disgust in his eyes.

He talked for a long time without getting to the point and his identity was exposed. He suspected that his seventh brother had been bewitched.

I’m afraid Seventh Brother has forgotten that the cause was that the other party was looking for trouble, and Yu Hongdou fought back on behalf of his father.

When the other party came, he just said that he had offended a noble person. He didn't even hear the obvious attempt to put the blame on others. What a fool.

Tan Mengao was ridiculed by his mute brother and his mind was confused. After he reacted, he felt a little annoyed. He didn't mean to test these two people, so why waste time talking to them.

But when he saw his grandfather drinking tea calmly and Yu Sanlang standing behind him with his eyes lowered respectfully, he suddenly came to his senses.

It seems that he was a little clumsy in making money. His test failed, but he was able to establish a relationship with others. It must be said that the Xu brothers are indeed capable.

After hearing what Tan Langxiu said, the two Xu brothers knew that something was wrong. Although they did not know Tan Langxiu and the young man who went out, they knew that he was also a noble person when they saw that his temperament was exactly the same as Tan Mengao.

I wanted to get close to the eldest princess's son and then ask about the identities of the other people, but I didn't expect this silent young man to be so sensitive.

Yu Hongdou was unaware of the tense atmosphere in the room. She followed behind Tan Yanlin and watched him pull the waiter to ask if the storyteller was still there.

"Yes, Uncle Mi said there will be two games every day, in the morning and afternoon, and the lunch break is also in our store." Seeing that the eldest and second uncles of the Xu family came in person to apologize, the waiters treated them with more respect.

As he spoke, he simply led the way in front and guided them to the back.

Yu Hongdou originally came to the storyteller with the idea of ​​relaxing and having some fun, and she didn't have any hope of finding anything more interesting or more clues.

But she forgot that some things that one works hard to find will often appear before one's eyes inadvertently.
