Chen Tianyu coughed twice, and in this night that fell into dead silence, it was as loud as thunder.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. He waved his hand, motioned Kuang Shuo to come to his side, and whispered a few words in his ear, Kuang Shuo nodded, and accompanied Li Qihuai to leave, Chen Tianyu and Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue also explained something, and the two left one after another according to their words.

Now there are five people left in front of the ancestral hall, and Chen Tianyu slowly spoke: "What happened today is a major event in your Li Village, so I think it is not me who has the most right to speak, but the whole village." Who's right or wrong, let the people of Li Village decide for themselves!"

Li Fuyi's expression was slightly stiff, but Li Fuqi pulled the corner of his eldest brother's clothes behind him, motioning for him to sit down and rest for a while, Li Fuyi nodded, and turned around to help Li Fuqi deal with his injuries briefly.

Chen Tianyu also beckoned Li Yiting and Qiuxi to sit down and rest in place, waiting for the arrival of the villagers.

The five of them faced each other cross-legged like this, Li Yiting held the fish intestine sword in his hand, and his mood was extremely complicated, he didn't know which one Chen Tianyu Zhang Luo was, but he didn't say anything against it.

Now, only Chen Tianyu is the most calm and calm.

More and more people gathered on the lawn in front of the ancestral hall, bustling, they were in groups of three or five, some lit candles, some held bamboo torches, and some also brought pine fire cages, gradually increasing popularity and light, so that the original terrifying and strange atmosphere was slightly relieved.

Li Yiting also felt more relaxed, the people who came were all villagers of Li Village, and they were also the neighbors and elders who he had gotten along with since he was a child, and he was inexplicably more down-to-earth.

More than 100 people came one after another, all of them were young adults and principals in Li Village, Li Yiting glanced at it and found that the third brother Li Futang was also at the scene.

In the crowd, there were also a few slightly abrupt faces, they turned out to be Luo Ming and the shopkeeper couple, and one more, but it was Li Yiting's mother, who was silently looking at her son at this time, she was invited by Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue according to Chen Tianyu's instructions.

Qiu Xi couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Fourth brother, are you going to have a public trial?"

Chen Tianyu smiled but did not speak.

"Dead lame, the scene is so big, you be careful not to get off the stage. Li Yiting pretended to be annoyed.

Chen Tianyu patted him on the shoulder and said with a pun: "Don't be nervous later, please." ”

"I'm nervous! Li Yiting muttered.

Chen Tianyu smiled: "In this way, then I will rest assured." ”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Chen Tianyu stood up suddenly, and a loud voice sounded in the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Li Village, today we have gathered everyone to the ancestral hall because we have a very important matter to announce, and I hope you will not be noisy. Please rest assured, we represent the government law enforcement agency and are here to solve some household chores for you. ”

There was silence below, and countless eyes intertwined on Chen Tianyu, who was not tall, with doubts, surprises, incomprehension and curiosity.

Chen Tianyu smiled slightly, confident.

"This matter is related to the life and death of the entire Li Village, all along, someone deliberately concealed the truth of the matter, which led to the current situation that is difficult to control, and there are many people who died innocently in vain. I know we're all in the dark, and so are we. So today we have the right to know everything, no matter what......"

There was still no movement underneath, and Chen Tianyu was not surprised.

He turned to Li Yiting and said, "It's time for you to speak." ”

A trace of confusion flashed across Li Yiting's face, he stood up and asked, "Let me say something." ”

"Tell me about the weapon you have in your hand. Chen Tianyu prompted.

Li Yiting suddenly realized, he nodded, and walked in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Uncles and brothers, elders, relatives and friends, Yiting wants to show you the artifact guarded by our village today. He raised the fish intestine sword in his hand, "This is the ancient treasure of Li Village, it is priceless, if we sell it, we can live a good life in Li Village, oh no, it is a fairy-like life...... If it weren't hidden deep in this dilapidated ancestral hall, this fish intestine sword would be enough to exchange for hundreds of high-rise buildings in the city, enough for everyone to enjoy the glory and wealth of several lifetimes!"

There was finally some noise in the crowd, but it was quiet, more whispering.

Li Yiting's words changed: "People die for money, birds die for food, some small people have been eyeing this treasure of Li Village many years ago, in order to get it, these people can be said to have lost their conscience, and have killed my third uncle, fifth uncle, sixth uncle and uncle, and my father almost lost his life!"

There were tears in his eyes, and his father Li Qihuai was also in tears.

"This big secret, from beginning to end, only the uncle knows, he is not deliberately hiding everyone, but for the safety of the whole village, once the news leaks, Li Village will be in danger, and there will never be such peace and tranquility as now. But this can only fool ordinary people, but it can't hide thieves with ulterior motives!"

"Who the hell is the thief?" suddenly appeared in the crowd, and I don't know who said it.

Li Yiting turned around suddenly, pointed at the brothers who were sitting cross-legged on the ground with his fingers, and said angrily: "It's these two unscrupulous descendants who guard and steal!"

Li Fuyi was excited, he was about to get up, but was stopped by Li Fuqi.

Li Yiting looked up to the sky and wailed: "One is the uncle's good son, and the other is the village party secretary of our Luoshui Village, how unfortunate!"

An old man suddenly stood out in the crowd, but it was the respected ninth uncle.

He trembled and said: "Yiting, you have to have evidence, Fuyi and Fuqi have always been honest and duty-oriented, and I have also watched them grow up, how can they do such a thing that is unconscionable? To say that they are for money, I can't believe it." "This old man is really experienced and insightful.

"There are all kinds of human and material evidence, but we can't believe it. Li Yiting was unmoved, "But if you want to know the cause and effect, Uncle Nine, you can only ask the two of them in person." ”

"Fuyi, Fuqi, you stand up and speak!" Uncle Jiu's lips trembled, and he scolded sharply.

Li Fuyi hurriedly helped Li Fuqi up, and the two stood side by side tremblingly, like children who had done something wrong.

The ninth uncle was obviously a little unbearable: "If you have any grievances, you might as well speak out boldly, and I will definitely make decisions for you." ”

"I ......" Li Fuyi stammered, he was not good at words, and he was even more flustered now.

Li Fuqi's faint voice sounded: "Ninth Uncle...... You don't believe it, but I'm not...... I didn't come to steal the artifact, I just wanted to...... Trying to hide him in a ...... A safer place......" He obviously knew that it was too unbelievable and obviously lacking confidence.

Uncle Nine poked the crutch angrily, and said angrily: "The ancestral shrine is solid, you said you want to find a safer place?" Fuqi, are you obsessed?"

"I ...... I do...... That's what you think......" Li Fuqi also began to stand up, "I always feel that the ancestral shrine is ...... It's ...... now It's not safe, thief...... Probably already mastered...... The Secret of the Ancestral Temple...... So......" He said something incompatible.

"It's really unbelievable!" Uncle Nine stretched out his hand to wipe away a handful of old tears, he stopped speaking, the facts were in front of him, and it was unrealistic for him to want to protect them.

Kuang Suo couldn't help but be angry and said: "Li Fuqi, you really call a thief to catch a thief." ”

"I'm really not ......," Li Fuqi still wanted to defend.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Don't get excited, everybody. Chen Tianyu lost no time in shouting.

He glanced at the people in the North Pavilion, and then continued: "Everyone, as far as I know, the ancestral hall is full of lost machine formations, and the lawn we are standing on now is also made of cement, so it can be said that people who are not familiar with the situation will die on the spot if they rashly walk into the ancestral hall." Therefore, Li Fuqi's statement is completely inadmissible, as one of the guardians of the artifact, he should have adhered to his original intention, but he guarded himself and stole himself, which is indeed an unforgivable crime. ”

"However, I guess everyone must still be skeptical about the defense situation in the ancestral hall, after all, everyone has not really seen the power of these organs for so many years......" Chen Tianyu paused, "So I suggest, we can find someone with good skills and experience it for yourself, what the legendary mechanism formation looks like." ”

"Yiting, why don't you show it for everyone?" he turned his head to look at Li Yiting.

"Never. Uncle Nine spoke up again, "You juniors don't know how powerful, but I clearly understand that no matter who it is, it is impossible for you to escape from all the organs in the ancestral hall. ”

Li Yiting insisted: "In order to find out the truth, I am willing to give it a try." ”

The voices of opposition came and went, getting louder and louder, it seems that everyone does not agree with such a risk, and is more worried about Li Yiting's safety, after all, this is also the pride of Li Village.

Chen Tianyu waved his hand: "I understand everyone's feelings, but please let me finish speaking." You may not know, although the mechanism in the ancestral hall is very powerful, but it is not without a way to crack it, your patriarch Li Qisi left a map of the mechanism, which records the method of cracking in detail, please rest assured. ”

Uncle Nine was also curious: "Where is the mechanism map?"

Chen Tianyu smiled slightly, turned his head and said, "Qiuxi, you show the organ map of the ancestral hall to all the villagers, and we will also study and study ......."

"Good. Qiu Xi did not hesitate, he took out an ancient book from his bosom, held it up and raised it.

"This is the mechanism map of the ancestral shrine. Qiuxi shouted loudly, "Don't worry, everyone!"

Before everyone could speak, Uncle Nine had already said suspiciously: "How can you have the mechanism map of the ancestral ancestral hall of Li Village?"

"Oh......" Qiu Xi was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "This is your patriarch Li Qisi personally handed it over to me for safekeeping, he may have a premonition that something will happen, so be prepared." ”

"Why didn't I know about this?" This time even Li Yiting was confused.

Li Fuqi's eyes were even more fixed on the pamphlet in Qiu Xi's hand.

Qiu Xi couldn't help but shudder, he sensed the hostility of these people, and also realized what it meant to take out the mechanism map at this time, and he also panicked a little.

"Don't get me wrong, this is really given to me by your uncle. ”

Chen Tianyu came over to relieve the siege and said: "Everyone don't want to be soldiers, Qiuxi is a law enforcement officer, and it is impossible to lie." Come, Qiuxi, show me the mechanism map. ”

Seeing Chen Tianyu speak, everyone quieted down.

Qiu Xi nervously handed over the ancient book in his hand to Chen Tianyu, Chen Tianyu looked at it seriously, Kuang Suo also immediately came over, turned on the flashlight, and Li Yiting also came to the side to watch.

The ancient book is only ten or twenty pages, although it is quite complicated, but it takes a moment to read it.

"That's right, this is indeed the layout of the ancestral hall, and Li Qisi's name is written on it. Chen Tianyu slowly took the ancient book into his arms.

The crowd was silent.

Li Yiting spoke first: "Then I'll go into the ancestral shrine to investigate, and everyone will wait for me outside." ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianyu shook his head: "No need, I just made a joke just now, how can I let you take such a big risk." ”

The audience was in an uproar, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

Chen Tianyu laughed: "I want to tell you a story, I hope you can listen patiently." ”

Uncle Jiu reminded: "Young man, you have to think twice. ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Nine!" Chen Tianyu said confidently.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"The story probably starts 29 years ago. ”

"At that time, Luoshui Village was more quiet than now, it can be said that the road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, and occasionally there are some lazy people, but also by everyone's common spurning, so it is very peaceful. Of course that's what I guessed......"

The ninth uncle bowed his head: "That's true, you guessed it wrong at all." ”

Chen Tianyu nodded: "Li Village is obviously the same, everyone works hard, earns hard-earned money with their hands, although they work hard, they are down-to-earth. Even if he guards such a cornucopia as Li Village, no one is greedy, and they all cherish the household utensils left by their ancestors as heirlooms. ”

In such an environment, a beautiful girl from the city suddenly broke the tranquility here, her name was Zheng Wanqiu. It is said that she looks almost exactly the same as our Ms. Liu Zichen, so of course I can imagine it, and it must have caused quite a stir at the time. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and it seemed that what was said was true.

Chen Tianyu continued: "As we all know, this Ms. Zheng Wanqiu, that is, the fourth aunt later, moved her uncle Li Qisi with her infatuation, and finally married the fourth uncle Li Qiuyuan as his wife as he wished, but the story did not end there, an infatuated man appeared out of the sky, often harassing the Li family, which made the uncle Li Qisi have a headache, and in desperation, he could only endure the pain of separating from the fourth brother, and put their family under house arrest in the depths of the mountains, this pass is several years. ”

Speaking of which, the uncle's handling of this matter is debatable, and there are many impersonal points. What's worse is that the uncle also adopted an attitude of not asking, which caused the fourth uncle's family to be extremely embarrassed, and once reached the situation of having no rice to cook. The starting point of the uncle was to test whether the fourth aunt Zheng Wanqiu was affectionate enough, but the practice was indeed too much, and the heart was too cold. ”

"There is an old saying that the living can't be suffocated by urine, and the fourth uncle Li Qiuyuan is also a smart person, if it weren't for the fourth aunt, he would never be so compromised, but he chose to bear it silently because of the authority of his eldest brother. The workaround quickly came up with selling jewelry in exchange for daily necessities. ”

At the beginning, the fourth aunt took advantage of the opportunity to purchase gold and silver jewelry from the commissary at the foot of the mountain, secretly asked the proprietress to sell it on her behalf, and then obtained grain, oil and non-staple food from the proprietress to make a living. Chen Tianyu stopped.

He asked the proprietress of the shop, "This is just my speculation, is the real situation also true?"

The proprietress didn't seem to have anything wrong with her, she nodded: "That's right, young man, you are really smart, you guessed basically right." ”

"That's good. Chen Tianyu smiled with satisfaction.
