[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

Amid the ups and downs, Jiao Shizhi seemed to hear someone calling him in a low voice, whispering something, but it really disturbed people's dreams.

"...Do you like to be talented and talented, or do you like to charge and kill thousands of troops without hindrance..."

Even in his sleep, he frowned deeply. After being harassed by this question countless times, he finally struggled to open his eyes, and saw an old man who couldn't see clearly standing in front of him, but it seemed that he was still immersed in it. In the trance of the dream, there is no feeling of fear at all: "I don't even want to..."

"Ha, don't bother? You are not a talented person, how can you ignore such benefits?" The old man seemed a little excited, pacing in front of his eyes with his hands behind his back.

"...Going in and out, the imperial court...fighting on the battlefield, you can...fight for yourself..., why do you need others...benefits?" Jiao Shizhi replied with a mutter, ignorant like a child, beating little by little as if he hadn't woken up. drowsy.

"Pedantism!"

"Cowardly, weak..." pouted.

"You kid, you still dare to call the old man cowardly?" The old man laughed.

"Extravagant desires...cowardly..." Even though he was half asleep, Jiao Shizhi was not at all easy to persuade.

"...Hahahaha... this old man likes your character, you don't want anything, so this old man wants to give you something. When the old man digs out what is left of me... hey, that bead was damaged last time Where did it go..."

Jiao Shizhi pursed his mouth, thinking that his dream was messed up, disturbing people's peace, it was really abominable.

"Ha, yes, I foresee...encounter? Well, forget it, this is definitely a good thing. Boy, don't be grateful to the old man in the future. Hey, return the kindness, and you should leave after staying in this small temple for a long time..." Then The annoying voice gradually faded away, and the old man also disappeared in front of his eyes. Jiao Shizhi finally waited for the tranquility he longed for, and fell asleep instantly.

Under the swaying candlelight, the young man's body glowed with an almost invisible light, and the thick and settled ancestral hall seemed to be missing something.

In the early morning of the second day, when Jiao Shizhi woke up, his limbs felt sore as if they were crushed by heavy objects, and he struggled to sit still in the chair. He stretched his body in embarrassment, and the crackling sound from his limbs showed his abuse last night. .It was indeed difficult for him to squeeze a half-sized child into a chair.There was no sound of rain outside the house for a long time, Jiao Shizhi packed up the quilt and put it back where it was, and left the ancestral hall with the food box.

The air outside the house was very fresh. The rain all night swept away the restlessness, leaving only a cool breath, which made people feel much calmer.With a smile on the corner of Jiao Shizhi's mouth, he nodded to the old servants guarding the ancestral hall, and left leisurely with the food box that had been so cold earlier.Today, the teachers in the school have something to do and don't need to go to school. Jiao Shizhi is also at ease, walking slowly back to his yard.

While walking, I felt something was wrong. Did he dream last night?It seems that I dreamed of a very weird person, but now I can't remember what that person looked like, and I can hardly remember what he said.Jiao Shizhi didn't take this matter to heart. After returning to his yard, he ordered his servants to heat up the contents of the food box and bring them over. Jiao Shizhi went straight into the study. Yesterday, the husband assigned homework. If tomorrow If he can't hand it in in time, he doesn't want to be handed over.

When he came back to his senses from his homework, it was also the time when the flames in the distance were bursting into the sky!

Countless uproars erupted, even the people in his yard were commotioning.Jiao Shizhi stood up in astonishment and looked out the window, but that place was exactly the place he had just left in the morning - the Jiao Family Ancestral Hall!

The shrine is on fire!

The shrine is also the shrine.

One surname and one shrine are the foundation of the surname. From the relatives of the emperor to the common people in the dawn, all of them live by inheriting the surname. The roots are passed down from generation to generation in the blood, which is why there are so many brilliant families.

Because of this, the Jiao family is now in chaos.

Jiao Shizhi rushed out of the door in a few steps, and was about to go there, but was held back by the book boy Liu Fang.Liu Fang said anxiously: "Master, what are you doing there at this time? The ancestral hall is on fire now, what if you were injured in the past?"

Jiao Shizhi pulled him away and said solemnly: "That's why I need to go there. The ancestral hall is the foundation of the family, and it would be unfilial to burn it down."

"But young master, you were imprisoned in the ancestral hall last night, and something like this happened again today, what will Mrs. Yang say about you!" Liu Fang blurted out in a hurry.

"I'll be fine." After being stunned for a moment, Jiao Shizhi stretched out his hand and patted Liu Fang's shoulder, then broke free and left.Liu Fang gritted her teeth and looked at Jiao Shizhi's leaving back, cruelly following along.

Young Master, that idiot, it's all right, something will definitely happen!

The fire of the Jiao family ancestral hall is a big event.

No matter how bravely the servants stepped forward, the fire seemed to be blessed by God. Even though the storm last night and the accumulated water did not subside this morning, it still burned bigger and bigger, and finally completely swept the entire ancestral hall. The few old slaves guarding the ancestral hall did not even Come out.

Jiao Shizhi stood not far away looking at the ancestral hall that was finally burned to ashes, his right hand clenched into a fist.The servants who brought him the quilt food box last night were all buried in the sea of ​​fire today, and the slightly pungent smell of kerosene made his inner anger almost burst out.

No matter what the cause of the fire is, it will destroy five lives!

Jiao Junqing went out, but before the rickety carriage arrived, he was chased back by Jiao's servants.Hearing the servant's report, Jiao Jun's eyes were shattered, and he rushed home to see the ashes of the ancestral hall, Yang's standing in the distance covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and Jiao Shizhi standing beside the ancestral hall. , was so angry that he cursed and lost all manners: "Who is guarding the ancestral hall? Get out with me!"

Jiao Shizhi suppressed his breath, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Father, they, they all died in the sea of ​​fire trying to put out the fire."

"They deserve to die!" Jiao Jun said angrily, looked at the ashes on the ground, and shouted sharply: "What's the reason for the fire, where's the housekeeper?" He obviously didn't believe Jiao Shizhi, and wanted to call out the more trusted housekeeper .

I saw Mrs. Yang swaying forward with the housekeeper, waving the handkerchief in his hand to salute, and was helped up by Jiao Jun. Seeing the wife who was pregnant for him, Jiao Jun barely suppressed his anger down. "You are heavy, why are you here?"

"How can I ignore such a big incident at home?" Yang said seriously, and called the housekeeper forward, "If you find something, please report it to the master."

The housekeeper said in a low voice: "Just now the villain led people around the ancestral hall and found torches and discarded oil drums. I think they used these things to set the ancestral hall on fire. And those things were from the kitchen in the morning. The missing things must have been done by internal thieves."

"The thief! What a thief! Call me everyone, I want to see what kind of thief the Jiao family has cultivated!" Jiao Jun gritted his teeth, needless to say the importance of the ancestral hall, now the Jiao family The ancestral hall was destroyed, and if it spread, it might mean that Mr. Jiao could not be blessed by his ancestors, and that God would punish him!

"Master, calm down, I feel a little strange. If the Jiao family's ancestral hall is destroyed, who will it benefit? The ancestral hall has no oil and water, and it is impossible to be of any use to these servants. This matter is a bit weird." Said In the end, Yang retched a few times because of the physiological reaction, which made Jiao Jun turn his attention to her.

But when Jiao Jun came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Jiao Shizhi who was standing meekly aside, if...

When Jiao Shizhi went back, he went back full of anger.After discovering that something was wrong, the steward's reply was as expected, but his father's indifferent attitude was really chilling. Even if the servant had it, it was still a few lives!But in the eyes of my father, I am afraid that it is still not as good as a brick in the ancestral hall.

He sighed in his heart, but the book boy who came back with him rejoiced: "I didn't expect that the young master really escaped unscathed this time."

"You monkey, do you want something to happen to me?" Jiao Shizhi said helplessly.

Liu Fang rolled her eyes disrespectfully, looking more helpless than Jiao Shizhi, "My young master, it would be great if you could understand your situation, and you should send such an obviously problematic matter to your door, not looking for trouble Is it?" Jiao Shizhi gave him a chestnut, and passed by, "If I don't go, won't I look more guilty? I'm a fool." Liu Fang touched her head and had to admit that the young master made sense, It is true that there were wolves before and tigers after.

No matter how anxious Jiao Jun is, it will take time to investigate this matter, Jiao Shizhi doesn't want to make any trouble at this time, and obediently goes to school every day.But for some reason, I always felt a little strange in my heart, as if I had overlooked something.

After being sulking for a few days in the school, the teacher in the school had some accidents and needed to ask for leave. Instead, he had a few more days off.Jiao Shizhi didn't want to stay at home, and he didn't want to listen to gossip about Jiao's family outside, so he went to a fixed teahouse every day. Drinking tea is always an elegant thing, and it can calm people's mind.

But today, a child was picked up not far from the teahouse.

A very ordinary child.
