A new journey of accumulating wealth
Chapter 199 Qingping Years 3 in 1
If it was the Xu family who died, it wouldn't make sense.According to what Xu Shi Zhongxin said, all the men in the head of the Xu family are dead, and the remaining men are about the same age as Ruige Erkun, and they are still very young and have not experienced anything.There are also female relatives, the old and the young, who ransacked the house and left in such a hurry.Lin Yutong didn't think it would be easier for them to go all the way north than the Jin family.Although the weather is warmer now, which is much better than the environment at that time, but they probably don't have friends like Li Cheng in their family.
Of course, the Xu family had many old in-laws, but the Jin family also had many old relatives.What's more, what is the relationship between the Jin family and Xu Shizhong, and what is the relationship between the Xu family.
Under such circumstances, how many things are worth remembering about them along the way?
So, what did the bandits rob them for?
woman?
possible!
But there must be a cause and effect for this matter.The bandits in Qingfengzhai were kicked out by the government?Did this happen before or after killing the suspected Xu family.
Was it Qingfengzhai who killed so many members of the Xu family first, was discovered by the government, and then sent troops to encircle and suppress them?
It was Qingfeng Village that was besieged by the government and killed so many people while fleeing.
If it is the first type, Lin Yutong has to ask, what is Qingfengzhai's purpose of killing the Xu family?If it's for money, the Xu family doesn't have it.If it's for sex, just kill a man, but why kill a woman?
If they rob the woman first and go back, then when the government encircled and suppressed them, they still have to think about killing the robbed woman first, and then run away?
Isn't this bullshit?This logic does not make sense.
If it is the second type, Qingfengzhai was surrounded by the government and fled in all directions, running for their lives and killing people all the way? There are more than 100 people!What kind of escape is this, so leisurely, that they don't want to do anything, and then they are happy to kill?
This logic is even more nonsense!
Fourth Master wrote down the words 'Qingfengzhai' in the study and hung it up again.Then he got up and left, he had to go to Jin Kuang's place, and he had to talk to Jin Boyi about it.
First, the Xu family is my uncle's family anyway.If you know it, let us know.
Second, so far, fourth master only knows that Jin Yiqian has contacted the tavern and gambling house, but he doesn't know what the news is.Is this news related to the Xu family's death?
Third, what should Xiao Xu and Bai do with them.Mrs. Bai will definitely not call back to Jin's family again, but little Mrs. Xu, after all, is Rui Ge'er's mother, how to deal with it, this should be reported to others.
"Dead?" The carving knife in Jin Kuang's hand fell instantly, he hurriedly fished it out with his hands, the sharp blade scratched his hand and blood flowed, but he just stared at Fourth Master, "Is the news true?"
Fourth Master nodded before reminding, "Your hand is broken."
Only then did Jin Kuang raise his hand to see, blood was already dripping down.Fourth Master handed over the handkerchief, called out to Jin Shou's family outside, and told him to come in and get some medicine for a bandage.
It's just a small wound, just sprinkle it with golden sore medicine and wrap it up.
Jin Kuang waved his hand to ask Jin Shou to go down, and sat down on the chair again, looking very relaxed: "...Xu Shizhong is in trouble!"
Only talk about Xu Shizhong, but avoid talking about the Xu family!
The fourth master just followed his words and said: "Yes! Xu Shizhong is in trouble, he's in big trouble. The man in the Xu family died for no apparent reason, but the rest of the Xu family... were also killed by bandits on the way... Whether there are any survivors, it's hard to say now..."
Jin Kuang's hand resting on the armrest of the chair suddenly grasped the armrest tightly, and because of too much force, the freshly bandaged wound quickly oozes blood again.
Fourth Master could see that Jin Kuang was very surprised.But in this accident, there is a certain kind of inexplicable emotion.
He didn't continue to inquire, but he knew that he seemed to be getting closer to the truth.
There were footsteps outside, and it was Jin Boyi who came in. He walked quickly, panting slightly, which was unthinkable half a year ago.As soon as he came in, he nodded to fourth master, with an apologetic expression on his face, "fourth brother, elder brother really has no face to see you."
Fourth master waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this." He said the matter again simply, "Sister-in-law's side... Eldest brother is watching the arrangement."
Jin Boyi frowned, but at the first moment, he turned his worried eyes to Jin Kuang, and then said: "The two women's families can be arranged in any way. Isn't there a nunnery in the west of Zhenxi? Send some money to the nunnery and tell them to live in the nunnery That's it. Wait for the rest of the Xu family to guess that something happened to the Xu family, but it may not be true after such a distance. If something happened, maybe there are still lucky ones alive. The capital can't go back, We are halfway there, and the only place we can go to is our house. It is time to send someone to check... If there are still alive, you can bring them back and place them near the village. Tell them to live with the Xu family... What do you say What?" As he spoke, he stared at Jin Kuang, his last words biting heavily.
yes!Need to ask someone to see it.
The fourth master thought the father and son's talk was very interesting, so he smiled and said: "Then it's easy to handle! Ask Jin Xin to take Jin Yi and Li Nu to run. Take the family's good hands!"
"No need!" Jin Kuang waved his hand immediately after, "The bandits are fleeing everywhere, where can they go? The mountains and forests are full of bandits. They run to places with many mountains and forests. We are close to the mountains, but far away from the city, and the mountains are also infested. Big, how far is the distance we can take care of? No matter which side of the mountain we sneak in, we may not be able to find it if we hide it. If this is the case... let someone hide behind us, and it may come out at any time Take a bite...Jin Xin is familiar with the surroundings, he has to stay...other people's affairs are not as important as your own...don't worry about this matter, just keep the house well...I'll send someone else to do this matter...not What's the big deal... Just find out and give your mother an explanation."
Still bitten to death and refused to say it!
Row!
Fourth Master simply got up and said goodbye, "I'll arrange for people to go, and there will be three shifts every day, so there will be no mistakes."
When Fourth Master left, Jin Kuang's expression suddenly became serious.
Jin Boyi asked in a low voice, "Did he do it?" When he asked this, his voice trembled a little, "If it's really him...the attack would be too harsh."
Jin Kuang closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "I asked someone to send him a message... I told him that there was going to be an accident in the Xu family... I told him to take precautions." , died so neatly.It's just that the rest of the Xu family, why kill them?
Jin Boyi followed in silence, and after a long silence, he said: "Father, do you think it's necessary to hide the truth from the fourth brother? His news is now faster than ours. What does he want to know... We can't hide it... Otherwise, if there are different thoughts in the family, the family will really be ruined. Father, in the face of thousands of hardships, it is only when the family works together in the same boat...you are hiding it like this..."
Jin Kuang looked at him: "Do you think I planned to hide it? I used to hide it... I didn't dare to be careless, but I have returned to my hometown, so I have nothing to say. But have you thought about it?" However, the fourth child and...he... are two kinds of people who are somewhat similar. The two kinds of people, either, each go their own way, and in this life, no one will meet the other. Or you will die and live...these two kinds of people The only similarity between people is courage. They all have the vigor of "those who stand in my way and get rid of them". When they collide together, who do you think will kill who? Who kills whom... is what you want to see ?”
Jin Boyi frowned, and said after a long time, "Fourth gets rid of him... I'd like to see it."
Jin Kuang looked at his eldest son in astonishment, "What did you say?"
"Father... if he falls into the hands of the fourth child, he can still save his life. But if it falls into the hands of others... he will die!" Jin Boyi said, "So, I would rather let him fall into the hands of the fourth child As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids, "I must have disappointed my father! Compared to his ambitions... I... I want to live a stable life. It's like here, leisurely... such a life , I live a stable life. I don’t have to stay awake night after night. I always feel like something is hanging in my heart. I am always afraid that the guillotine will fall on my neck at some point...Father, can you Indulging in his choice, why can't we indulge in indulging in the choices of our sons... We don't miss our ancestors, we just want to live our lives. I hope now that Rui Ge'er will be in good health, and Rui Ge's daughter-in-law can give Our room is filled with a man and a half woman. The son is not too young. He goes out to teach students, and goes home to entertain his grandchildren. If he meets a man with a compatible temperament, he will make a few friends regardless of his or her background, and enjoy himself in the world. In the mountains and rivers, talking loudly when waking up, and sleeping soundly after being drunk. When I go to sleep today, I only think about what to eat tomorrow and where to go...Father...tell him to stop! Really wait for him to meet the fourth child It's too late... but it's too late!"
Jin Kuang slowly closed his eyes: "Did you still have time?! Is that wicked person able to listen to advice? He has always made his own decisions, otherwise, Wen's affairs would not have been hidden from me and your mother." Damn..."
Jin Boyi stopped talking, and after a long silence, said: "The son is going first..."
When he walked, he staggered a little, and when he went out, Jin Shoujia even gave him a hand.
The worry in Jin Kuang's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
That night, someone came from the family temple and said that the uncle had a fever.He didn't disturb the master, the old lady and the wife, but sent someone to invite fourth master and Lin Yutong.
There is a doctor at home.
Lin Yutong asked, "Has anyone hired an imperial physician?"
The kid just shook his head and looked at fourth master without saying a word.
The fourth master pondered, and asked Lin Yutong to follow, "Okay, don't disturb anyone, let's go and have a look."
This disease is a bit strange!
In the middle of the night, the lights were dark, Jin Yi had already gotten up when he heard the noise, Fourth Master waved his hands and refused to follow, "Guard the yard, it's okay!"
He only took Tongtong there, and sure enough, Jin Boyi sat on the couch with a normal expression, and with Tongtong's ability, he didn't see anything inappropriate.
Fourth Master sat opposite him, "Brother, do you want to tell me in private?"
Jin Boyi nodded: "I think we should be honest between brothers. Some things...the more you hide them, the worse things will become! If I don't say anything...I'm afraid that one day, we will follow forever!"
Fourth master raised his eyebrows, and said 'hmm', "Second brother?"
really!The fourth child still guessed it.
Even if you guessed not all, it is estimated that the truth is not far away.
Jin Boyi took a sip of the tea in the teacup, and then said: "At this moment, I really don't know what to say! Let me put it this way, let me ask you first, do you believe in karma?"
How about this?
What goes around comes around!
"I'm willing to write." Fourth master replied.
That's a good answer!Willing to write!
yes!Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.
Jin Boyi said: "Father should have told you about our ancestors. If you have time, you can go and see the sky rock... It really is a mountain that flew from the sky, just like that... From then on, The Jin family has its ups and downs, struggles, and failures... It's like a curse of fate... Grandfather passed away in his prime, if he could live to this day, the Jin family would definitely not be what it is now... The name of the hero is He's gone, he's gone... When my grandfather was dying, he believed in fate more and more... I'm afraid these things will have a deep influence on my father."
As he spoke, he paused for a long time, "The Xu family is indeed a loyal minister of the previous dynasty... Father knew it, but didn't expose it... Why? When the Great Qin Jiangshan died, it was these last loyal ministers who protected Liu This is the last root of the family, and this is how the Jin family is today... The Xu family has been calculating from the very beginning when they married their mother to their father. At that time, the grandfather did not know the roots of the Xu family, but the Xu family suspected Jin. The origin of the family. After all, Dayan destroyed Daqin. For the Xu family, the current Jin family and the former Liu family are the remnants of the previous dynasty. There is nothing wrong with the final whereabouts of Great Qin Hundi. Besides, the meteorite fell from the sky, such a big event, the county government at that time reported it to the higher authorities. There are many people who understand Fengshui in this world. It's not surprising. They use their thoughts to figure out the Jin family, thinking that the Jin family occupies a high position, so they may have other thoughts because they miss the glory of the day... So they thought Li Daitao was stiff. With the blood of the Dayan royal family , to replace me as the eldest son. So, a ridiculous scene was staged. They didn't want to kill me, they just wanted to take me back to the Xu family and raise me as the son of the Xu family. So, without anyone noticing it. But I don’t want to, I was ruined by a thief. It’s time and fate! My father knew about this, but my mother had already given birth to me... But my mother is not Xiao Xu after all, her heart is more towards the Jin family... ...It was the mother who told the Xu family's secrets to the father...Father found the Xu family, but in fact he wanted to see the past. On the surface, he only did not know the things behind the Xu family...Father did not pierce this layer The window paper, the Xu family went back to the child and couldn't do it anymore. The father only said that he had dealt with it. But in fact...the father didn't deal with it...he felt that God gave the Daqin royal family a little life back then, and now he should pay it back This glimmer of life...he is afraid of retribution!"
It's not that Lin Yutong can't understand this kind of behavior. Sometimes when people's brains think about it, they feel that many things are destined.
Even if you open the history books, sometimes you have to sigh about the reincarnation of karma, and the retribution is not good.Just like the Zhao brothers in the Song Dynasty, they were extremely humiliating to the previous dynasty. No matter how poor the little Zhou family was, they were once the mother of the country, but what happened?Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Zhao family, from the emperor to the empress, from concubines to princesses and other female relatives, would be humiliated by others!
Jin Kuang is afraid of retribution.He is willing to return a kindness to God.
"The father handed over the child to the little thief that day, and asked that little thief to raise him and keep him outside. The little thief also knew that he had caused a big disaster and was wrapped up in a great event. So, he took Looking at that child, I found a Taoist monk and settled down there. I know what you doubt...but you think too much. Your second brother is your own second brother...this cannot be faked. All the secrets were revealed, not only did father and mother not become estranged, but they became closer... Thus, your second brother was born. He is our brother...it can't be wrong..."
The fourth master understood a little bit, "That child who was raised outside...Second brother, is Li Daitao stiff?"
Jin Boyi smiled wryly, "The Xu family has never stopped looking for that child in these years... so many years... it has already made people smell a little bit. Just before your second brother had an accident, my father received a letter from that little thief back then. , Said that someone had already inquired in the temple... So, your second brother just used his tricks and went to the Taoist temple. The Xu family probably doesn't know this secret until now. It's ridiculous, they wanted Li Daitao to replace me... Isn’t retribution coming? Your second brother seems to be reckless, but recklessness is better than recklessness! Therefore, Li Zhao wanted to kill Xu Shizhong, not him. But... who knows, something went wrong... Somehow, the queen knew about Li Zhao's plan, but instead made a temporary exchange..."
Fourth Master was very upset when he heard that, "That is to say, Second Brother knew in advance that Li Zhao was going to kill Xu Shizhong..."
"I don't know!" Jin Boyi finished, and added, "I mean, I don't know when your second brother knew about it. Did he know it in advance? Or did he notice something that day? Or the queen's participation called him What did I see... I don't know. Your second brother did drink that tea... But he spit it up in his sleeve after taking it in, but he still vomited blood after he came back... His mouth and nose were full of blood ..."
Toxicity and strongness are poisons that kill people.Jin's second child was poisoned.
"No one wants to die!" Jin Boyi said a fair word for the second child, "No one wants to die! He didn't die, but his loyal relationship with Li Zhao and Xu Shi is considered to be a knot. Everything about him...is because This cup of poison|tea is ruined..."
Lin Yutong thought in his heart: Jin Laoer can get away smoothly, that means he is very vigilant in his heart.Why he was vigilant, the Jin family didn't know, but he knew it himself.Li Zhao still wants to return to the Wen family, but he, the second child of Jin, has no room to resist.He could tolerate a fake wife, but he couldn't bear other people's gaze... So, he 'died'.
'Dead' full of resentment!
"Does the old lady know about this?" Fourth Master asked again.
Jin Boyi shook her head: "I don't know! When I sent your second brother's 'coffin' back to his hometown for 'burial', I didn't know there was an old lady at home. As for what father and second brother said, I don't know. But I'm sure that the secret that my grandmother thought was different from what my father kept from me. The old lady is willing to give the people in her hands to my father... I am also very puzzled. I don't know what my father said to the old lady. Or... ...These people were not the old lady's people... but the back-hands that my grandfather prepared back then..."
Fourth master was more willing to believe the latter.
But Lin Yutong didn't understand: "Since the second master is still alive, why... when Wen Shi left, no one at home stopped him?"
Jin Boyi glanced at Lin Yutong, "I asked... It took so long from saying I was going to actually going... It was also his intention to ask Wen Shi to go."
Lin Yutong only looked at fourth master, the second child of the Jin family, who was very confusing.
But about the death of the Xu family, Lin Yutong generally understood his plan a little bit.The Xu family is too familiar with him, the Xu family is gone, only those branches headed by the Xu family can revolve around him.
But even so, how could he hide his face?
Unless you never dare to show your true colors.
Fourth Master asked Jin Boyi, "Where is he now?"
Jin Boyi shook her head: "I don't know, my father has contact with him...but I don't know the way."
"The elder brother told me this, what do you want?"
Jin Boyi didn't speak for a long time, and was silent for a long time. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he said, "I've had enough of living in fear... I've been tricked since I was born... It's so easy to grow up and get married... Why did you suddenly get married again?" To the point where I want to be happy, but when my father is not around...My mother is not innocent in the matter of me marrying Xiao Xu..."
Therefore, Mrs. Xu valued her eldest son and grandson very much, but the eldest son never got close to her.
"In the past half of my life, all the major events I have encountered have been calculated. Even in Rui Ge'er's marriage, it is the same... Originally, Xiao Xu still wanted to marry another girl from the Xu family. The age is not equal, only the adoptive daughter, who married her niece...Fortunately, the Yao family is not like the little Xu family, otherwise, what is the meaning of my half life?" With a bit of a mocking smile, "From now on, there will be no one with the surname Liu. Anyone who wants to be surnamed Liu after death will be completely buried here. My surname is Jin, and from now on, my ancestors will only have the surname Jin. From our It is not realistic for a generation to divide people into clans. Just wait... until sister Sui's generation... When our brothers are all dead, we will call them clans. Anyone who can earn a bowl of food by himself is fine. You don’t have to hold on to the idea that you have to study and become an official to restore any glory! Don’t live for your ancestors and ancestors, each live a good life for your ancestors, and your ancestors will be in peace. If you have a soul, you should know that life is a luxury, so it's better not to be too greedy."
This was a deliberate decision he made after his body gradually recovered.
Although there is no more useful information, at least the ins and outs of the matter are clear.
The thing to think about now is, what exactly does Jin Er Er want to do?
Seeking to usurp the throne?
If this is the case, there will be no movement in the past few years!
But if it wasn't for seeking to usurp the throne, what was he trying to do?
Fourth Master felt that the most important thing was to find him.
"It's not easy to find people." Especially when we have no one available.The most well-informed one is Lu Liuyao, not to mention the premise that this matter cannot be easily known by others, only that Lu Liuyao's news channels are all in the market.This means that it is successful to find out the news, but it is absolutely impossible to do important things.As for Jin Yi and the others, they were too tender.
Therefore, unless Jin Kuang is willing to cooperate, otherwise, looking for Jin Zhongwei now is undoubtedly a dream.
Fourth master said: "We can't find him, we can let him come to us." The Xu family was killed, which means he has people in his hands.And he is not that far away from here now.Jin Kuang kept sending him news, and if he really wanted to send it to the south, it would take half a year to go back and forth.But as long as it is in the border of Liaodong, it usually takes three to five days, and it will take ten and a half months if it is farther away.
Since he is still in Liaodong, there is a way.
Didn't it mean that the bandits in Qingfengzhai escaped?Success!This news has to be spread out, and everyone who spreads out knows it.
Lin Yutong asked: "Did the bandits in Qingfengzhai really escape? Or were they recruited long ago, or were they killed?" They didn't kill anyone from the Xu family, and the government's ability to suppress bandits was there. The bandits drilled into the mountains, the vast mountains, where do you go to find them?
Very strange.
The fourth master understood Tongtong's suspicion, she thought that second son Jin might have already taken care of the bandits in Qingfengzhai.Then many things were done in the name of Qingfengzhai.
Now he said that the bandits in Qingfengzhai might be fleeing towards the town, in order to spread the news that the Jin family was in danger.But if the second son of Jin borrowed the name of Qingfengzhai, he knew that the news was definitely false, so how could he fall into the trap?
Fourth master said: "...don't underestimate the evil of human nature..."
Jin Laoer can pretend to be Qingfeng Village, so some people want to pretend to be Qingfeng Village, and the fourth master said: "Tomorrow, ask Jin Xin to take someone to find Xiao Xu and Bai... don't take them back... Then, call Gold double golden umbrella, go buy it as soon as possible, there is a lot of food. After three days, Zhuangzi will only be allowed to enter but not to exit..."
Lin Yutong nodded heavily, so he just happened to see how many people and how many ghosts there are in this village.
But I never expected that Jin Xin and Jin Yi came back and said that they didn't find Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Bai at all. They only knew that they bought dry food in the town, hired a carriage, and then left the town... But after leaving the town , never seen again.The two men chased them on horseback for two days, and they didn't return until the fourth day.
I asked all the inns and farmhouses along the way, but they all said they didn't see them.
Ordinarily, if you go to chase the two women who are sitting on the old horse and the broken car, you should find it anyway.But it just disappeared, disappeared without a trace.
Lin Yutong and fourth master looked at each other: it's him!
It can only be him, he is now the one the Xu family wants to pledge allegiance to.He reached out to save the people of the Xu family... Shouldn't he?
Mrs. Xu didn't know where she was, but she walked out of the town anyway, and at noon, she came across a chazi on the side of the road.I asked the hired driver to go down and buy some hot water. After drinking the water, I became a little confused, and then I didn't know anything.
When she woke up, her hands and feet were bound and her eyes were blindfolded.
are you afraid?
Scared!
She regretted being so impulsive, and she should have asked someone from the Jin family to escort her when she wanted to leave.Now, the two women, Bai Shi does not know if they are still there.
Very uncomfortable!Very uncomfortable.
The road was bumpy, like walking on a mountain road.I don't know how long I've been walking, but I sleep when I'm hungry, and I'm hungry when I sleep, and I'm drowsy. When I wake up this time, it seems that the place is a little different.Much smoother.
The body moved, and no one tied their hands and feet.No one is in the car, where is it...the body is covered with brocade and fur.
She got up and opened the curtain, but a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
Here...how could it be the same as the boudoir she lived in when she was not out of the cabinet.The same decorations... the same utensils, and even the burning incense is exactly the same.
Is this back to Xu's house?
She got off the bed and reached for her favorite Yunpian cake.
Um!It is the handicraft of Li Nai, the chef.
Not right!Isn't Nanny Li already dead?Been dead for years.
She couldn't swallow this mouthful of Yunpian Cake, and let the crumbs of the pastry smear her mouth, she eagerly pushed open the door... It was dark, and there were lanterns hanging in the yard.It was the courtyard where she lived before leaving the cabinet.Small and exquisite, very delicate.
But still not right!
The yard was quiet, without the slightest human voice.From afar, only the howling of animals could be heard, which is a sound that the Xu family, which is located in the bustling area of the capital, would never have.
Her complexion was pale, and she had lived in Zhuangzi on the mountain for half a year, and she knew it was still on the mountain.
But why is there such a Zhuangzi on the mountain?Zhuangzi also has its own yard.
Who brought himself?
She retreated to her bedroom step by step, then raised the lamp, and went out again.Across the courtyard, the gate is closed.The closed door opened with a slight tug.She stepped out and looked around... The layout of the courtyard was still the same as Xu's.same same!
The pomegranate tree at the gate of the yard... It's been a few years, and the pomegranate tree is in flowering season, and it is also blooming.
She held up the lamp and looked carefully... On the pomegranate tree at home, there were traces carved with a hairpin when she was a child.It was drawn by her when she met her cousin for the first time.But on this tree... no!
Xu Jiaxuan has been famous for 300 years, and the house is very old now.But seeing that the house here is almost the same as his own house, it can be regarded as an old house, almost the same as the Xu family's house.
The outside of the yard is pitch black, and the corridor is deep... In the Xu family, the corridor like this used to be as bright as day, and the servants who came and went shuttled endlessly.But now, it looks like a monster with a big mouth and bared fangs... For a moment, she just felt that she was walking through the underworld, and endless fear overflowed from the bottom of her heart.
She wanted to retreat and stay in the house to wait for the dawn, but the scene outside, she really wanted to retreat, it was tantamount to deceiving her ears.
In fact, some people are not scary, what is scary is no one!
No!There are people!And there are!
Bai's!She must be in the house too!
If she can wake up in her own boudoir, then Mrs. Bai is probably where she lived.
Where did Ke Bai once live?
That's right!She must have lived in her boudoir.
But where is her boudoir?The adopted daughter lives in the northwest corner, just go there, where the lights are on.
Holding the lamp, she walked through the house familiarly, surrounded by only the sound of her own footsteps, and walked around half of the house... Finally, she saw a little light.
But... this is not the northwest corner, if I remember correctly, this is the ancestral hall of the Xu family.
The lights are on in the ancestral hall, there must be someone inside!
She walked over quickly, and the gate of the courtyard where the ancestral hall was located was open.The corner lights in the yard were on, emitting some dim light.With this light, she could see the smooth ground.It's completely different from the feeling of stepping on dead branches and rotten leaves all the way.That is to say, there are people cleaning here.
She walked in step by step, climbed the steps, and pushed open the gate of the ancestral hall.
Rows of futons are placed on the ground inside, all of which are half-old.Two rows of candles as thick as a baby's arm were lit, shining brightly.It's just that for some reason, there is a smell of fresh paint inside.
She is not afraid of rows of tablets. It has been 300 years, and many people have gone to the Xu family.It is not surprising that there are so many tablets.In the old house, we see each other every year.
She breathed a sigh of relief before she said she wanted to call out, but suddenly realized something was wrong.There is no reason for enshrining memorial tablets here even if there is no old house that has already been enshrined.
She looked up and saw that the table on which the tablet was placed was new, but the tablet was old... No!It's not all old. Aren't those behind them brand new?
She staggered over, looking at the names one by one, her eyes widening.
Do not!Do not!impossible!
how could be!
People who were supposed to be sleeping peacefully in Xu's house, why are their tablets listed here.
She repeated a sentence in her mind: Something happened to the Xu family!Something happened to the Xu family!
In an instant, all strength and support disappeared, and she fell to the ground slumped: "How could it be? How could it be?"
"Why not?" Suddenly there was such a voice from behind, the voice was low, Xiao Xu didn't recognize who it was for a moment.
She looked back, then opened her eyes wide: "Brother Chun?"
I saw a thin figure of a young man coming from the darkness, but it was Zhilan Yushu, Xu Chun, who was the younger generation of the Xu family!
The moment she saw this child, Xiao Xu found herself again, with a look of surprise on her face, "You... are you still alive?"
The young man remained expressionless, "Yes! He's still alive."
Little Xu got up and walked over step by step, only when she put her hand on the young man's shoulder and felt the warmth, did she wake up: "You...you...you are really alive! But what happened? Why did it happen? How did you get here? Where is this place? How did I get here?!"
She asked each sentence in a hurry, her eyes were full of eagerness.
The young man looked at these plaques: "It was the lord who saved me...the people lying here are all Dayan's loyal ministers..."
Lord?
The Xu family has never met the lord before, "Where is the lord? People in the Xu family can't die like this! Is it Xu Shizhong? Is it him!"
Who else but him?
"The Xu family's revenge will be avenged!" Little Xu let go of her nephew, knelt on the futon, looked at the tablets one by one, "I can't die in vain...I can't die in vain...I want to see the lord...I want to see the lord... See my lord..."
Of course, the Xu family had many old in-laws, but the Jin family also had many old relatives.What's more, what is the relationship between the Jin family and Xu Shizhong, and what is the relationship between the Xu family.
Under such circumstances, how many things are worth remembering about them along the way?
So, what did the bandits rob them for?
woman?
possible!
But there must be a cause and effect for this matter.The bandits in Qingfengzhai were kicked out by the government?Did this happen before or after killing the suspected Xu family.
Was it Qingfengzhai who killed so many members of the Xu family first, was discovered by the government, and then sent troops to encircle and suppress them?
It was Qingfeng Village that was besieged by the government and killed so many people while fleeing.
If it is the first type, Lin Yutong has to ask, what is Qingfengzhai's purpose of killing the Xu family?If it's for money, the Xu family doesn't have it.If it's for sex, just kill a man, but why kill a woman?
If they rob the woman first and go back, then when the government encircled and suppressed them, they still have to think about killing the robbed woman first, and then run away?
Isn't this bullshit?This logic does not make sense.
If it is the second type, Qingfengzhai was surrounded by the government and fled in all directions, running for their lives and killing people all the way? There are more than 100 people!What kind of escape is this, so leisurely, that they don't want to do anything, and then they are happy to kill?
This logic is even more nonsense!
Fourth Master wrote down the words 'Qingfengzhai' in the study and hung it up again.Then he got up and left, he had to go to Jin Kuang's place, and he had to talk to Jin Boyi about it.
First, the Xu family is my uncle's family anyway.If you know it, let us know.
Second, so far, fourth master only knows that Jin Yiqian has contacted the tavern and gambling house, but he doesn't know what the news is.Is this news related to the Xu family's death?
Third, what should Xiao Xu and Bai do with them.Mrs. Bai will definitely not call back to Jin's family again, but little Mrs. Xu, after all, is Rui Ge'er's mother, how to deal with it, this should be reported to others.
"Dead?" The carving knife in Jin Kuang's hand fell instantly, he hurriedly fished it out with his hands, the sharp blade scratched his hand and blood flowed, but he just stared at Fourth Master, "Is the news true?"
Fourth Master nodded before reminding, "Your hand is broken."
Only then did Jin Kuang raise his hand to see, blood was already dripping down.Fourth Master handed over the handkerchief, called out to Jin Shou's family outside, and told him to come in and get some medicine for a bandage.
It's just a small wound, just sprinkle it with golden sore medicine and wrap it up.
Jin Kuang waved his hand to ask Jin Shou to go down, and sat down on the chair again, looking very relaxed: "...Xu Shizhong is in trouble!"
Only talk about Xu Shizhong, but avoid talking about the Xu family!
The fourth master just followed his words and said: "Yes! Xu Shizhong is in trouble, he's in big trouble. The man in the Xu family died for no apparent reason, but the rest of the Xu family... were also killed by bandits on the way... Whether there are any survivors, it's hard to say now..."
Jin Kuang's hand resting on the armrest of the chair suddenly grasped the armrest tightly, and because of too much force, the freshly bandaged wound quickly oozes blood again.
Fourth Master could see that Jin Kuang was very surprised.But in this accident, there is a certain kind of inexplicable emotion.
He didn't continue to inquire, but he knew that he seemed to be getting closer to the truth.
There were footsteps outside, and it was Jin Boyi who came in. He walked quickly, panting slightly, which was unthinkable half a year ago.As soon as he came in, he nodded to fourth master, with an apologetic expression on his face, "fourth brother, elder brother really has no face to see you."
Fourth master waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this." He said the matter again simply, "Sister-in-law's side... Eldest brother is watching the arrangement."
Jin Boyi frowned, but at the first moment, he turned his worried eyes to Jin Kuang, and then said: "The two women's families can be arranged in any way. Isn't there a nunnery in the west of Zhenxi? Send some money to the nunnery and tell them to live in the nunnery That's it. Wait for the rest of the Xu family to guess that something happened to the Xu family, but it may not be true after such a distance. If something happened, maybe there are still lucky ones alive. The capital can't go back, We are halfway there, and the only place we can go to is our house. It is time to send someone to check... If there are still alive, you can bring them back and place them near the village. Tell them to live with the Xu family... What do you say What?" As he spoke, he stared at Jin Kuang, his last words biting heavily.
yes!Need to ask someone to see it.
The fourth master thought the father and son's talk was very interesting, so he smiled and said: "Then it's easy to handle! Ask Jin Xin to take Jin Yi and Li Nu to run. Take the family's good hands!"
"No need!" Jin Kuang waved his hand immediately after, "The bandits are fleeing everywhere, where can they go? The mountains and forests are full of bandits. They run to places with many mountains and forests. We are close to the mountains, but far away from the city, and the mountains are also infested. Big, how far is the distance we can take care of? No matter which side of the mountain we sneak in, we may not be able to find it if we hide it. If this is the case... let someone hide behind us, and it may come out at any time Take a bite...Jin Xin is familiar with the surroundings, he has to stay...other people's affairs are not as important as your own...don't worry about this matter, just keep the house well...I'll send someone else to do this matter...not What's the big deal... Just find out and give your mother an explanation."
Still bitten to death and refused to say it!
Row!
Fourth Master simply got up and said goodbye, "I'll arrange for people to go, and there will be three shifts every day, so there will be no mistakes."
When Fourth Master left, Jin Kuang's expression suddenly became serious.
Jin Boyi asked in a low voice, "Did he do it?" When he asked this, his voice trembled a little, "If it's really him...the attack would be too harsh."
Jin Kuang closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "I asked someone to send him a message... I told him that there was going to be an accident in the Xu family... I told him to take precautions." , died so neatly.It's just that the rest of the Xu family, why kill them?
Jin Boyi followed in silence, and after a long silence, he said: "Father, do you think it's necessary to hide the truth from the fourth brother? His news is now faster than ours. What does he want to know... We can't hide it... Otherwise, if there are different thoughts in the family, the family will really be ruined. Father, in the face of thousands of hardships, it is only when the family works together in the same boat...you are hiding it like this..."
Jin Kuang looked at him: "Do you think I planned to hide it? I used to hide it... I didn't dare to be careless, but I have returned to my hometown, so I have nothing to say. But have you thought about it?" However, the fourth child and...he... are two kinds of people who are somewhat similar. The two kinds of people, either, each go their own way, and in this life, no one will meet the other. Or you will die and live...these two kinds of people The only similarity between people is courage. They all have the vigor of "those who stand in my way and get rid of them". When they collide together, who do you think will kill who? Who kills whom... is what you want to see ?”
Jin Boyi frowned, and said after a long time, "Fourth gets rid of him... I'd like to see it."
Jin Kuang looked at his eldest son in astonishment, "What did you say?"
"Father... if he falls into the hands of the fourth child, he can still save his life. But if it falls into the hands of others... he will die!" Jin Boyi said, "So, I would rather let him fall into the hands of the fourth child As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids, "I must have disappointed my father! Compared to his ambitions... I... I want to live a stable life. It's like here, leisurely... such a life , I live a stable life. I don’t have to stay awake night after night. I always feel like something is hanging in my heart. I am always afraid that the guillotine will fall on my neck at some point...Father, can you Indulging in his choice, why can't we indulge in indulging in the choices of our sons... We don't miss our ancestors, we just want to live our lives. I hope now that Rui Ge'er will be in good health, and Rui Ge's daughter-in-law can give Our room is filled with a man and a half woman. The son is not too young. He goes out to teach students, and goes home to entertain his grandchildren. If he meets a man with a compatible temperament, he will make a few friends regardless of his or her background, and enjoy himself in the world. In the mountains and rivers, talking loudly when waking up, and sleeping soundly after being drunk. When I go to sleep today, I only think about what to eat tomorrow and where to go...Father...tell him to stop! Really wait for him to meet the fourth child It's too late... but it's too late!"
Jin Kuang slowly closed his eyes: "Did you still have time?! Is that wicked person able to listen to advice? He has always made his own decisions, otherwise, Wen's affairs would not have been hidden from me and your mother." Damn..."
Jin Boyi stopped talking, and after a long silence, said: "The son is going first..."
When he walked, he staggered a little, and when he went out, Jin Shoujia even gave him a hand.
The worry in Jin Kuang's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
That night, someone came from the family temple and said that the uncle had a fever.He didn't disturb the master, the old lady and the wife, but sent someone to invite fourth master and Lin Yutong.
There is a doctor at home.
Lin Yutong asked, "Has anyone hired an imperial physician?"
The kid just shook his head and looked at fourth master without saying a word.
The fourth master pondered, and asked Lin Yutong to follow, "Okay, don't disturb anyone, let's go and have a look."
This disease is a bit strange!
In the middle of the night, the lights were dark, Jin Yi had already gotten up when he heard the noise, Fourth Master waved his hands and refused to follow, "Guard the yard, it's okay!"
He only took Tongtong there, and sure enough, Jin Boyi sat on the couch with a normal expression, and with Tongtong's ability, he didn't see anything inappropriate.
Fourth Master sat opposite him, "Brother, do you want to tell me in private?"
Jin Boyi nodded: "I think we should be honest between brothers. Some things...the more you hide them, the worse things will become! If I don't say anything...I'm afraid that one day, we will follow forever!"
Fourth master raised his eyebrows, and said 'hmm', "Second brother?"
really!The fourth child still guessed it.
Even if you guessed not all, it is estimated that the truth is not far away.
Jin Boyi took a sip of the tea in the teacup, and then said: "At this moment, I really don't know what to say! Let me put it this way, let me ask you first, do you believe in karma?"
How about this?
What goes around comes around!
"I'm willing to write." Fourth master replied.
That's a good answer!Willing to write!
yes!Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.
Jin Boyi said: "Father should have told you about our ancestors. If you have time, you can go and see the sky rock... It really is a mountain that flew from the sky, just like that... From then on, The Jin family has its ups and downs, struggles, and failures... It's like a curse of fate... Grandfather passed away in his prime, if he could live to this day, the Jin family would definitely not be what it is now... The name of the hero is He's gone, he's gone... When my grandfather was dying, he believed in fate more and more... I'm afraid these things will have a deep influence on my father."
As he spoke, he paused for a long time, "The Xu family is indeed a loyal minister of the previous dynasty... Father knew it, but didn't expose it... Why? When the Great Qin Jiangshan died, it was these last loyal ministers who protected Liu This is the last root of the family, and this is how the Jin family is today... The Xu family has been calculating from the very beginning when they married their mother to their father. At that time, the grandfather did not know the roots of the Xu family, but the Xu family suspected Jin. The origin of the family. After all, Dayan destroyed Daqin. For the Xu family, the current Jin family and the former Liu family are the remnants of the previous dynasty. There is nothing wrong with the final whereabouts of Great Qin Hundi. Besides, the meteorite fell from the sky, such a big event, the county government at that time reported it to the higher authorities. There are many people who understand Fengshui in this world. It's not surprising. They use their thoughts to figure out the Jin family, thinking that the Jin family occupies a high position, so they may have other thoughts because they miss the glory of the day... So they thought Li Daitao was stiff. With the blood of the Dayan royal family , to replace me as the eldest son. So, a ridiculous scene was staged. They didn't want to kill me, they just wanted to take me back to the Xu family and raise me as the son of the Xu family. So, without anyone noticing it. But I don’t want to, I was ruined by a thief. It’s time and fate! My father knew about this, but my mother had already given birth to me... But my mother is not Xiao Xu after all, her heart is more towards the Jin family... ...It was the mother who told the Xu family's secrets to the father...Father found the Xu family, but in fact he wanted to see the past. On the surface, he only did not know the things behind the Xu family...Father did not pierce this layer The window paper, the Xu family went back to the child and couldn't do it anymore. The father only said that he had dealt with it. But in fact...the father didn't deal with it...he felt that God gave the Daqin royal family a little life back then, and now he should pay it back This glimmer of life...he is afraid of retribution!"
It's not that Lin Yutong can't understand this kind of behavior. Sometimes when people's brains think about it, they feel that many things are destined.
Even if you open the history books, sometimes you have to sigh about the reincarnation of karma, and the retribution is not good.Just like the Zhao brothers in the Song Dynasty, they were extremely humiliating to the previous dynasty. No matter how poor the little Zhou family was, they were once the mother of the country, but what happened?Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Zhao family, from the emperor to the empress, from concubines to princesses and other female relatives, would be humiliated by others!
Jin Kuang is afraid of retribution.He is willing to return a kindness to God.
"The father handed over the child to the little thief that day, and asked that little thief to raise him and keep him outside. The little thief also knew that he had caused a big disaster and was wrapped up in a great event. So, he took Looking at that child, I found a Taoist monk and settled down there. I know what you doubt...but you think too much. Your second brother is your own second brother...this cannot be faked. All the secrets were revealed, not only did father and mother not become estranged, but they became closer... Thus, your second brother was born. He is our brother...it can't be wrong..."
The fourth master understood a little bit, "That child who was raised outside...Second brother, is Li Daitao stiff?"
Jin Boyi smiled wryly, "The Xu family has never stopped looking for that child in these years... so many years... it has already made people smell a little bit. Just before your second brother had an accident, my father received a letter from that little thief back then. , Said that someone had already inquired in the temple... So, your second brother just used his tricks and went to the Taoist temple. The Xu family probably doesn't know this secret until now. It's ridiculous, they wanted Li Daitao to replace me... Isn’t retribution coming? Your second brother seems to be reckless, but recklessness is better than recklessness! Therefore, Li Zhao wanted to kill Xu Shizhong, not him. But... who knows, something went wrong... Somehow, the queen knew about Li Zhao's plan, but instead made a temporary exchange..."
Fourth Master was very upset when he heard that, "That is to say, Second Brother knew in advance that Li Zhao was going to kill Xu Shizhong..."
"I don't know!" Jin Boyi finished, and added, "I mean, I don't know when your second brother knew about it. Did he know it in advance? Or did he notice something that day? Or the queen's participation called him What did I see... I don't know. Your second brother did drink that tea... But he spit it up in his sleeve after taking it in, but he still vomited blood after he came back... His mouth and nose were full of blood ..."
Toxicity and strongness are poisons that kill people.Jin's second child was poisoned.
"No one wants to die!" Jin Boyi said a fair word for the second child, "No one wants to die! He didn't die, but his loyal relationship with Li Zhao and Xu Shi is considered to be a knot. Everything about him...is because This cup of poison|tea is ruined..."
Lin Yutong thought in his heart: Jin Laoer can get away smoothly, that means he is very vigilant in his heart.Why he was vigilant, the Jin family didn't know, but he knew it himself.Li Zhao still wants to return to the Wen family, but he, the second child of Jin, has no room to resist.He could tolerate a fake wife, but he couldn't bear other people's gaze... So, he 'died'.
'Dead' full of resentment!
"Does the old lady know about this?" Fourth Master asked again.
Jin Boyi shook her head: "I don't know! When I sent your second brother's 'coffin' back to his hometown for 'burial', I didn't know there was an old lady at home. As for what father and second brother said, I don't know. But I'm sure that the secret that my grandmother thought was different from what my father kept from me. The old lady is willing to give the people in her hands to my father... I am also very puzzled. I don't know what my father said to the old lady. Or... ...These people were not the old lady's people... but the back-hands that my grandfather prepared back then..."
Fourth master was more willing to believe the latter.
But Lin Yutong didn't understand: "Since the second master is still alive, why... when Wen Shi left, no one at home stopped him?"
Jin Boyi glanced at Lin Yutong, "I asked... It took so long from saying I was going to actually going... It was also his intention to ask Wen Shi to go."
Lin Yutong only looked at fourth master, the second child of the Jin family, who was very confusing.
But about the death of the Xu family, Lin Yutong generally understood his plan a little bit.The Xu family is too familiar with him, the Xu family is gone, only those branches headed by the Xu family can revolve around him.
But even so, how could he hide his face?
Unless you never dare to show your true colors.
Fourth Master asked Jin Boyi, "Where is he now?"
Jin Boyi shook her head: "I don't know, my father has contact with him...but I don't know the way."
"The elder brother told me this, what do you want?"
Jin Boyi didn't speak for a long time, and was silent for a long time. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he said, "I've had enough of living in fear... I've been tricked since I was born... It's so easy to grow up and get married... Why did you suddenly get married again?" To the point where I want to be happy, but when my father is not around...My mother is not innocent in the matter of me marrying Xiao Xu..."
Therefore, Mrs. Xu valued her eldest son and grandson very much, but the eldest son never got close to her.
"In the past half of my life, all the major events I have encountered have been calculated. Even in Rui Ge'er's marriage, it is the same... Originally, Xiao Xu still wanted to marry another girl from the Xu family. The age is not equal, only the adoptive daughter, who married her niece...Fortunately, the Yao family is not like the little Xu family, otherwise, what is the meaning of my half life?" With a bit of a mocking smile, "From now on, there will be no one with the surname Liu. Anyone who wants to be surnamed Liu after death will be completely buried here. My surname is Jin, and from now on, my ancestors will only have the surname Jin. From our It is not realistic for a generation to divide people into clans. Just wait... until sister Sui's generation... When our brothers are all dead, we will call them clans. Anyone who can earn a bowl of food by himself is fine. You don’t have to hold on to the idea that you have to study and become an official to restore any glory! Don’t live for your ancestors and ancestors, each live a good life for your ancestors, and your ancestors will be in peace. If you have a soul, you should know that life is a luxury, so it's better not to be too greedy."
This was a deliberate decision he made after his body gradually recovered.
Although there is no more useful information, at least the ins and outs of the matter are clear.
The thing to think about now is, what exactly does Jin Er Er want to do?
Seeking to usurp the throne?
If this is the case, there will be no movement in the past few years!
But if it wasn't for seeking to usurp the throne, what was he trying to do?
Fourth Master felt that the most important thing was to find him.
"It's not easy to find people." Especially when we have no one available.The most well-informed one is Lu Liuyao, not to mention the premise that this matter cannot be easily known by others, only that Lu Liuyao's news channels are all in the market.This means that it is successful to find out the news, but it is absolutely impossible to do important things.As for Jin Yi and the others, they were too tender.
Therefore, unless Jin Kuang is willing to cooperate, otherwise, looking for Jin Zhongwei now is undoubtedly a dream.
Fourth master said: "We can't find him, we can let him come to us." The Xu family was killed, which means he has people in his hands.And he is not that far away from here now.Jin Kuang kept sending him news, and if he really wanted to send it to the south, it would take half a year to go back and forth.But as long as it is in the border of Liaodong, it usually takes three to five days, and it will take ten and a half months if it is farther away.
Since he is still in Liaodong, there is a way.
Didn't it mean that the bandits in Qingfengzhai escaped?Success!This news has to be spread out, and everyone who spreads out knows it.
Lin Yutong asked: "Did the bandits in Qingfengzhai really escape? Or were they recruited long ago, or were they killed?" They didn't kill anyone from the Xu family, and the government's ability to suppress bandits was there. The bandits drilled into the mountains, the vast mountains, where do you go to find them?
Very strange.
The fourth master understood Tongtong's suspicion, she thought that second son Jin might have already taken care of the bandits in Qingfengzhai.Then many things were done in the name of Qingfengzhai.
Now he said that the bandits in Qingfengzhai might be fleeing towards the town, in order to spread the news that the Jin family was in danger.But if the second son of Jin borrowed the name of Qingfengzhai, he knew that the news was definitely false, so how could he fall into the trap?
Fourth master said: "...don't underestimate the evil of human nature..."
Jin Laoer can pretend to be Qingfeng Village, so some people want to pretend to be Qingfeng Village, and the fourth master said: "Tomorrow, ask Jin Xin to take someone to find Xiao Xu and Bai... don't take them back... Then, call Gold double golden umbrella, go buy it as soon as possible, there is a lot of food. After three days, Zhuangzi will only be allowed to enter but not to exit..."
Lin Yutong nodded heavily, so he just happened to see how many people and how many ghosts there are in this village.
But I never expected that Jin Xin and Jin Yi came back and said that they didn't find Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Bai at all. They only knew that they bought dry food in the town, hired a carriage, and then left the town... But after leaving the town , never seen again.The two men chased them on horseback for two days, and they didn't return until the fourth day.
I asked all the inns and farmhouses along the way, but they all said they didn't see them.
Ordinarily, if you go to chase the two women who are sitting on the old horse and the broken car, you should find it anyway.But it just disappeared, disappeared without a trace.
Lin Yutong and fourth master looked at each other: it's him!
It can only be him, he is now the one the Xu family wants to pledge allegiance to.He reached out to save the people of the Xu family... Shouldn't he?
Mrs. Xu didn't know where she was, but she walked out of the town anyway, and at noon, she came across a chazi on the side of the road.I asked the hired driver to go down and buy some hot water. After drinking the water, I became a little confused, and then I didn't know anything.
When she woke up, her hands and feet were bound and her eyes were blindfolded.
are you afraid?
Scared!
She regretted being so impulsive, and she should have asked someone from the Jin family to escort her when she wanted to leave.Now, the two women, Bai Shi does not know if they are still there.
Very uncomfortable!Very uncomfortable.
The road was bumpy, like walking on a mountain road.I don't know how long I've been walking, but I sleep when I'm hungry, and I'm hungry when I sleep, and I'm drowsy. When I wake up this time, it seems that the place is a little different.Much smoother.
The body moved, and no one tied their hands and feet.No one is in the car, where is it...the body is covered with brocade and fur.
She got up and opened the curtain, but a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
Here...how could it be the same as the boudoir she lived in when she was not out of the cabinet.The same decorations... the same utensils, and even the burning incense is exactly the same.
Is this back to Xu's house?
She got off the bed and reached for her favorite Yunpian cake.
Um!It is the handicraft of Li Nai, the chef.
Not right!Isn't Nanny Li already dead?Been dead for years.
She couldn't swallow this mouthful of Yunpian Cake, and let the crumbs of the pastry smear her mouth, she eagerly pushed open the door... It was dark, and there were lanterns hanging in the yard.It was the courtyard where she lived before leaving the cabinet.Small and exquisite, very delicate.
But still not right!
The yard was quiet, without the slightest human voice.From afar, only the howling of animals could be heard, which is a sound that the Xu family, which is located in the bustling area of the capital, would never have.
Her complexion was pale, and she had lived in Zhuangzi on the mountain for half a year, and she knew it was still on the mountain.
But why is there such a Zhuangzi on the mountain?Zhuangzi also has its own yard.
Who brought himself?
She retreated to her bedroom step by step, then raised the lamp, and went out again.Across the courtyard, the gate is closed.The closed door opened with a slight tug.She stepped out and looked around... The layout of the courtyard was still the same as Xu's.same same!
The pomegranate tree at the gate of the yard... It's been a few years, and the pomegranate tree is in flowering season, and it is also blooming.
She held up the lamp and looked carefully... On the pomegranate tree at home, there were traces carved with a hairpin when she was a child.It was drawn by her when she met her cousin for the first time.But on this tree... no!
Xu Jiaxuan has been famous for 300 years, and the house is very old now.But seeing that the house here is almost the same as his own house, it can be regarded as an old house, almost the same as the Xu family's house.
The outside of the yard is pitch black, and the corridor is deep... In the Xu family, the corridor like this used to be as bright as day, and the servants who came and went shuttled endlessly.But now, it looks like a monster with a big mouth and bared fangs... For a moment, she just felt that she was walking through the underworld, and endless fear overflowed from the bottom of her heart.
She wanted to retreat and stay in the house to wait for the dawn, but the scene outside, she really wanted to retreat, it was tantamount to deceiving her ears.
In fact, some people are not scary, what is scary is no one!
No!There are people!And there are!
Bai's!She must be in the house too!
If she can wake up in her own boudoir, then Mrs. Bai is probably where she lived.
Where did Ke Bai once live?
That's right!She must have lived in her boudoir.
But where is her boudoir?The adopted daughter lives in the northwest corner, just go there, where the lights are on.
Holding the lamp, she walked through the house familiarly, surrounded by only the sound of her own footsteps, and walked around half of the house... Finally, she saw a little light.
But... this is not the northwest corner, if I remember correctly, this is the ancestral hall of the Xu family.
The lights are on in the ancestral hall, there must be someone inside!
She walked over quickly, and the gate of the courtyard where the ancestral hall was located was open.The corner lights in the yard were on, emitting some dim light.With this light, she could see the smooth ground.It's completely different from the feeling of stepping on dead branches and rotten leaves all the way.That is to say, there are people cleaning here.
She walked in step by step, climbed the steps, and pushed open the gate of the ancestral hall.
Rows of futons are placed on the ground inside, all of which are half-old.Two rows of candles as thick as a baby's arm were lit, shining brightly.It's just that for some reason, there is a smell of fresh paint inside.
She is not afraid of rows of tablets. It has been 300 years, and many people have gone to the Xu family.It is not surprising that there are so many tablets.In the old house, we see each other every year.
She breathed a sigh of relief before she said she wanted to call out, but suddenly realized something was wrong.There is no reason for enshrining memorial tablets here even if there is no old house that has already been enshrined.
She looked up and saw that the table on which the tablet was placed was new, but the tablet was old... No!It's not all old. Aren't those behind them brand new?
She staggered over, looking at the names one by one, her eyes widening.
Do not!Do not!impossible!
how could be!
People who were supposed to be sleeping peacefully in Xu's house, why are their tablets listed here.
She repeated a sentence in her mind: Something happened to the Xu family!Something happened to the Xu family!
In an instant, all strength and support disappeared, and she fell to the ground slumped: "How could it be? How could it be?"
"Why not?" Suddenly there was such a voice from behind, the voice was low, Xiao Xu didn't recognize who it was for a moment.
She looked back, then opened her eyes wide: "Brother Chun?"
I saw a thin figure of a young man coming from the darkness, but it was Zhilan Yushu, Xu Chun, who was the younger generation of the Xu family!
The moment she saw this child, Xiao Xu found herself again, with a look of surprise on her face, "You... are you still alive?"
The young man remained expressionless, "Yes! He's still alive."
Little Xu got up and walked over step by step, only when she put her hand on the young man's shoulder and felt the warmth, did she wake up: "You...you...you are really alive! But what happened? Why did it happen? How did you get here? Where is this place? How did I get here?!"
She asked each sentence in a hurry, her eyes were full of eagerness.
The young man looked at these plaques: "It was the lord who saved me...the people lying here are all Dayan's loyal ministers..."
Lord?
The Xu family has never met the lord before, "Where is the lord? People in the Xu family can't die like this! Is it Xu Shizhong? Is it him!"
Who else but him?
"The Xu family's revenge will be avenged!" Little Xu let go of her nephew, knelt on the futon, looked at the tablets one by one, "I can't die in vain...I can't die in vain...I want to see the lord...I want to see the lord... See my lord..."
