President's Legendary Master

The two watched silently as the family of three bought things, got in the car and drove away, the little Tianshi seemed to have found his voice: "Hehehe... this old lady... doesn't look like the director. It's so similar!"

But the two of them clearly heard that the director of the cultural relics management office called the old lady "Mom".

And that woman and the director are so affectionate in public, they must be a couple!

Otherwise, the size is considered an official, and the discipline inspection committee should talk to him about the issue of life style.

"But Hou Mingcai and the others... are still somewhat blood related?" Dugu Haoyan swallowed: "My grandfather is very similar to my father and me! And Feiyan and I are also somewhat similar to my uncle Yes, the three generations have continued my grandparents’ roots.”

"Hehe...that's what I said." The little celestial master smiled embarrassingly.

"We've almost finished shopping, so we're going back." Dugu Haoyan pulled him back to the car: "Go home tomorrow."

"Oh." The little celestial master had no opinion at all about Dugu Haoyan's decision.

In the evening, they went to a special local restaurant for dinner. While waiting for the meal, Dugu Haoyan found the information and contacted the captain of the criminal investigation brigade, as well as a local police officer he found around corners. An amateur folklore researcher.

After reading the information, the little celestial master asked him with his chopsticks in his mouth: "Have you found the reason?"

"Well, I'll take you to the theater tomorrow." Dugu Haoyan ate some vegetables.

The next day he didn't go home as promised, but Dugu Haoyan drove back to Changli County with the little celestial master, and then went to Yangjiabao.

Both Yangjiabao and Gonghou Village are natural villages under the jurisdiction of Changli County, because the county is a very famous humanities county, and these two places are also the days when every household is well-off.

But at this moment, many people gathered at the village boundary markers of these two villages.

Not only the villagers excitedly holding their hoes, but also the police rushed to maintain the scene.

The deputy county magistrate, a chubby man with an eager face, was standing between the two villagers, pointing to one side, blushing and shouting: "Everyone, calm down, calm down! Is there anything you can't talk about properly? It’s easy to talk and discuss! This is not the past. Fighting over a little water, you know, impulsiveness is the devil! One can’t do it well, have you seen comrades in the police? Those who were fined, those who are from the village, will we meet again in the future, will we deal with each other?"

"Stop fighting. This time, we must seek justice. These people are too much. Do you think that there is no one in our Yang family? They even dug the grave of our Yang family ancestor's great aunt!" The leader of the Yang family castle is the Yang family. The eldest son of the family's direct branch head, Fang's direct descendant, is also the patriarch of the Yang family.

Although it is not as feudal as in ancient times, some clans still have patriarchs. In normal times, some small conflicts still need to be judged by the patriarch.

Every year, there is a sum of money in the clan, which is distributed to the clan leader. After all, people worry and work hard, so it is impossible for people to worry in vain.

There are also things like opening an ancestral hall, giving children a genealogy, etc., all of which have to trouble the patriarch, and some ancestor worship, which requires the head of each house to attend, and other things, so ancestor worship, go to the grave Ah, there is also burial, all of which need to trouble the patriarch. The old Yang family is a clan with ancestral graves, oh, it is called the family cemetery now.

It is a common cemetery in the village, and only the Yang family is buried.

Yang Changlin is the patriarch of this generation. He is fair and has a sense of justice, and is highly respected by everyone.

His younger brother Yang Changsen is the head of the second house of the direct branch. His uncle has no son, so he adopted his younger brother and inherited the position of the head of the second house.

Now, he, his younger brother, and the big guy are here to seek justice.

"No, those are tomb robbers. They have already been arrested. Sentencing is a matter of time. Why are you doing this?" The deputy county magistrate already knew about the arrest the day before yesterday. They rarely have such big cases here. Five people were arrested at once, and many unsolved cases could be closed.

"So what? The Hou family dug the grave a long time ago, and they only caught it now. It can only be said that they have such a bad record. Dig the grave, or dig the joint burial tomb of our ancestors, aunts, and your old Hou family. No wonder the population is not busy, are you worthy of our family?" Yang Changsenchang was a tall man with a loud voice, and most of the village could hear him swearing.

"Don't make such a big fuss!" The village head of Houjia Village on the other side still disagreed with him: "Hou Wu and the others are all unscrupulous young people in the village. What kind of local masters are they? They deserve to be caught. If you say that, Then every tomb robber who is caught has to be chopped up by the National People's Congress? Who told them to dig up their ancestors' graves, right? You are the law and you are in charge of sentencing? Our ancestors of the Hou family married the daughter of your Yang family , but the two of them were buried together, they were not buried in the ancestral grave, they were buried separately, we don't know where they were buried, why are you competing with me here? What are you arguing about? Finding fault, right? Tell you , our old Hou family is not afraid!"

"you……."

The two groups were very excited, and now they were angry with cursing. They greeted each other's female relatives of eight generations of ancestors.

At the same time, there were still people clamoring for the two families to break up.

It turned out that the two villages, that is, the two clans, also had some intermarriage with each other, and the relationship was very complicated.

However, not too many, only a dozen or so pairs.

However, the relationship between the two villages has always been tense. Generally, such families either move to live in the county or the city, and only come back to worship ancestors and visit relatives during the holidays, or they go to other places to develop.

Neither of them can continue to live in each other's villages. It can be said that they gave up their families for love.

Now the concept of the family is very weak, and no one cares too much about these details.

It's just that the grievances and resentments between the two villages have lasted for many years, and they don't have much contact at ordinary times, so there are really very few people in the two villages who become a family.

Just like this, there are still some old people who are unhappy, don't want their own children, and marry each other's offspring.

The little celestial master was stunned: "These people are really... quite old-fashioned!"

"The director of the cultural relics management office, surnamed Yang, named Yang Chengdong, is the son of Uncle Qiushan, the third householder in Yangjiabao. Yang Qiushan left home with his wife because he married Hou Minghua, the daughter of the second householder in Houjiacun. Going to work in the county, he was a worker, and later the child grew up in the county. Because he studied well, he was admitted to university, until later, he was admitted to the civil service, returned to his hometown, and served as a section member of the cultural relics management office. It's grown." Dugu Haoyan said: "I felt strange that day, you see, Professor Wang Yishui is an archaeological idiot, if he finds this ancient tomb, whether it is a private one or a prince's, he will know Excavation, don’t tell me about the archaeological value, in the eyes of his old man, studying ancient tombs is just a broken pottery pot, all of which are treasures!”

What's more, with Professor Wang Yishui's level, he thinks this ancient tomb is worth it, if it's worth it, even if it's not worth it, it's still worth it!

This is the right of authority.

"But look at the director? When he entered the ancient tomb, he didn't show any enthusiasm for archaeology at all. Instead, he was very perfunctory. He also said that it was an ordinary folk ancient tomb, and there was no value for archaeological excavation at all. I happily followed them away without even taking a second look at the place." Dugu Haoyan said: "Actually, it's not that I'm not curious, nor that I don't want to see it, it's the cemetery of their ancestors, how can archaeologists excavate their own family's ancestral tomb ?”

"So that's how it is!" Little Heavenly Master looked at the noisy scene outside: "Are they going to fight? Why? Because of the ancient tomb where they were buried together?"

"En." Dugu Haoyan showed him a piece of information: "This is a very... bloody story."

The little celestial master glanced at the above record: "County records?"

Of course, not the original, but the electronic version after sorting out.

"On this field diary, there are many records of some things at that time and this place, and one of them is very interesting." Dugu Haoyan pointed to one of the indexes, and after clicking on it, there was a record about "ghost marriage".

As I said before, ghost marriage has never been completely banned since it was recorded. However, in modern society, no one wants ghost marriage anymore. Even if they want to make a big fuss, the government can't agree.

However, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a ghost marriage was held here.

At the beginning of the period, the Hou family and the Yang family supported each other to live. The records of the two villages began at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. They were forcibly relocated here by the Mongols. It is said that the ancestors of the Yang family were members of the generals of the Yang family. , probably because they are afraid of their resurgence?

However, the Yuan Dynasty was only 90 years old, and it was overthrown by Zhu Yuanzhang, a cowherd boy.

But the Yang Family Fort also took root here, and has no plans to move away.

The sun and the moon rotate, and the stars alternate. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, they had become a local rich family. Both villages developed well, and the two villages supported each other. There is ethnology, and ethnology is the school established in each village.

The form and level of running schools are uneven.

In ancient times, there was also a clan school, a type of private school, which was set up by the head of the clan, usually using the ancestral hall of the clan as the site to educate the children of the same clan.

Ethnology has a strong feudal and patriarchal color. Children who are not from the same clan are not allowed to come to the clan school to read and read. Only the children of the same clan and the children of all relatives are recruited.

But objectively, it has played an important role in cultivating the intellectuals of the nation, disseminating local culture and inter-ethnic cultural exchanges.

Because of the relationship between private schools, the two villages produced several famous children. Although there were some who passed the Jinshi examination and became officials, they were all small officials.

But even so, everyone felt that they had something to rely on.

During the Jiajing period, a high-ranking official came out of the Hou family. How old was it?

It seems to be a genuine fourth grade. In Beijing, a genuine fourth grade is nothing.

But in Changli County, this is the fourth rank, but it is two ranks higher than the magistrate of Hejian Prefecture.

So Houjia Village really reached its peak at that time.

Later, after 30 years, the official came back to retire after serving as an official.

As a result, the eldest son and grandson of his family died unexpectedly for unknown reasons.

Definitely not sick, why?Because their family did not invite a doctor to see a doctor.

Suddenly the white banner was hung, suddenly the funeral was about to go out, suddenly it was buried.

However, this eldest son and grandson, who was betrothed to the young granddaughter of the patriarch's family in Yangjiabao, was halfway through the six ceremonies, and suddenly disappeared.

If it is in modern times, just return the things and the girl can find someone else.

But it was impossible in that era, halfway through the six ceremonies, that is also a matter of determining one's status.

When the little girl of the Yang family knew that her fiancé had died unexpectedly, she immediately fell ill.

Ancient times were not as open as modern times. Marriage and divorce are like drinking plain water.

But everyone is a "civilized person", so the marriage is over, and the young girl of the Yang family returned the dowry to the Hou family; as for the Hou family, they buried the child properly...but strange things happened right after the burial.

At first, there were women in Houjia Village who had a miscarriage, and secondly, none of the newborn babies survived. No matter how healthy the mother was, the baby was stillborn.

The same is true of the Yang family.

It was also at that time that the two families realized that the other party was not simple. One was General Faqiu Zhonglang, who just pretended to be a descendant of the Yang family general.

One is the descendants of Colonel Mo Jin, so far, none of them have left behind their ancestral craftsmanship.
