Volume 2 Chapter 207 Descendants of the Zhu Family
"Let him in. ”
"Oh......" Gu Amei hesitated, but still left.
After a while, a familiar voice came,
"Mr. Doolin, let's meet again. ”
When Durin saw it, he couldn't help but be happy,
"James, why are you here again? This time you're here to kill again?"
"Don't dare, we let you kill last time, 2K and Mourning Nail have been removed from your list, we don't dare to come to Huaxia to go on a mission again." ”
"And what are you doing here?"
"Do you remember the last time you gave me a silver needle when you were leaving, saying that you owe me a small favor, and that you will help me when I am in trouble in the future......" James had a slightly flattering smile on his face.
"Yes, I said, what, what a difficulty," Durin remembers saying at the beginning. "Come, sit down. ”
"That's right," James sat down in his chair, "and we took on a mission, and this mission was not to kill people, nor to arrest people, but to find people. ”
"Looking for someone?" Durin was a little surprised, "You international mercenaries still take on private detective work?"
"Mr. Du said with a smile, our business is actually very extensive, not limited to killing people and arresting people, because we have our own intelligence network, so it is also very convenient to find people. ”
"Oh, then you can't find it? Let me help you find someone? I don't have an intelligence network, I'm afraid I can't help with this. ”
"No, no, no, we've found it. James waved his hand repeatedly.
"And what else are you asking me to do you a favor for?"
"There's something special about this guy. James looked embarrassed.
"Who?"
"You!"
"Me?" Durin was surprised, he really didn't expect that the person James was looking for would be himself, and who would use international mercenaries to find him?
"That's right," James hastened to explain, fearing that Durin would be displeased, "the employer has only provided us with a portrait made more than six hundred years ago, and what they are looking for is the descendant of the ancient man in the portrait."
When we saw the portrait, we saw at first glance that the person in the portrait looked almost exactly like you, so we guessed that the person in the portrait might be your ancestor and that you were the person we were looking for. ”
Du Lin said in his heart, how can it be my ancestor, it must be me.
"Who is your employer, and what is he looking for me to do?"
"According to the rules, we can't disclose the employer's information, but since it is Mr. Du, you ask, we don't dare to hide it from you. The employer is a Nepalese of Chinese descent, and he asked you for no malice, as if he wanted to thank your ancestors and give you something, which I think is a good thing. ”
"A good thing?" Du Lin couldn't believe it, in the past 1,400 years, he has seen more of the ungrateful and rare to know how to repay the kindness, especially after more than 600 years, and it is really rare to still think about the descendants of his benefactor.
"Well, if you don't have any objections, then I'll reply to the employer and tell him that I've found someone, so I'll be counted. ”
"yes, the main thing is that you can collect money too, right?" Durin debunked James's careful thinking.
James smiled embarrassedly, "Mr. Du, don't mind, we also eat together." ”
Two days later, James led a middle-aged man in his forties to the hemolysis clinic.
This person's appearance is very ordinary, belonging to the kind of appearance that can never be found in the pile, but it looks quite pleasing to the eye, wearing a neat suit, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and a bit of a successful person's style.
"Are you Dr. Doolin?" the visitor enthusiastically shook Dr. Doolin's hand as soon as he came up, shaking it up and down, "Like, it's really the same as the portrait left by the ancestors, it seems that Dr. Du must be the benefactor of the ancestors." The descendants of the ancestors and benefactors are above, please accept my worship on behalf of the benefactors!"
As he spoke, he was about to make a big salute, so frightened that Du Lin hurriedly hugged him.
"No courtesy, don't be like this, this gentleman doesn't know what's going on, you have to give me such a big gift, I can't afford it," Du Lin led the person to the chair and sat down, and sat down himself, Gu Amei found a folding chair, so that James also had a place to sit, James thanked Gu Amei very gentlemanly, and squeezed his eyes at Gu Amei, which happened to be seen by Du Lin.
"Hey, hey, James, you're going to flirt with my sister and change someone, don't do it to my assistant, someone has a boyfriend. ”
"Mr. Du, I have absolute respect for you, but you can't limit my right to pursue beautiful women, there is an old saying in China, 'My fair lady, good gentleman'. ”
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but I've learned to throw off the words of the Chinese language, but there is an old saying in Huaxia, I don't know if you have heard it, it's called 'things that have a master can't be touched'!"
"Doctor Du, introduce yourself," the man waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and said with a needle, "My name is Zhu Zhonglin, and I am a Nepalese, but each of my ancestors is an authentic Chinese, so although my nationality is Nepalese, my bloodline is very pure Chinese blood, and it is royal blood." ”
The last sentence of this Zhu Zhonglin was so small that only Du Lin could hear it, and it seemed that he wanted to deliberately hide it from James.
The royal family, surnamed Zhu, Du Lin immediately thought of a person, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen!
"Are you...... Jianwen's ...... "Since he didn't want James to know too much, Durin also cooperated with him to play dumb riddles."
"Exactly, exactly. ”
"The ancestor's family motto records that the reason why his old man was able to escape his life in the Battle of Jingjing and go into exile abroad is all thanks to the power of your ancestors, so my Zhu family, generations of descendants are grateful to your ancestors. ”
"Oh, thanks have been received, but that was many lifetimes ago, so let him pass. ”
Although this person named Zhu Zhonglin spoke very sincerely, Du Lin always felt that there was something in it, he had read countless people for more than a thousand years, and experience told him that this Zhu Zhonglin was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"Dr. Du, in fact, in addition to verbal thanks, there are actually some material thanks. Zhu Zhonglin took out a gold plate with exquisite workmanship and carved dragons and phoenixes from his bag, and put it on the table, his face was still a little embarrassed, as if it was a blasphemy to take some yellow and white things for his benefactor's descendants.
James, who was sitting behind him, immediately stared at the boss, this look is made of pure gold, just such a heavy piece of gold is already worth a lot of money, if you add the modeling and carving, such a gold plate, put it in the auction house, don't think about being able to take it without a million meters.
It seems that this employer is very rich, and the previous commission is less!
"What are you doing here?" Du Lin hurriedly excused himself, "It's not me who saved your ancestors, I can't take it, you put it away quickly." ”
"Doctor Du, in fact, this is just a drop in the bucket of the wealth left by the ancestors to the benefactor's descendants, and there are still a lot of treasures waiting for you!" Zhu Zhonglin smiled mysteriously.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, put a lot of treasure and don't want it, and send it to Du Lin from afar, in Zhu Laoqi's words, this is not in line with human nature.
"I'm afraid Mr. Zhu didn't just come to thank me, right?" Du Lin looked at Zhu Zhonglin with deep meaning.
"Mr. Du is really not an ordinary person, then I won't hide it from you," Zhu Zhonglin's tone changed, "My ancestor is Zhu Yunwen, Mr. already knows, in order to recruit troops and horses to regain the throne, he secretly contacted some ministers loyal to Jianwen's orthodoxy in Nepal, and also promised to restore the vassal king system, in exchange for the support of several princes and uncles who have been cut down."
A large amount of money and treasure flowed into Nepal, but unfortunately, this matter could not be carried out after decades of preparation, first, Nepal is far away from the Central Plains and is blocked by high mountains, and second, my ancestors have the virtue of a good life, and do not want to cause wars again.
Therefore, this wealth was divided into two parts, one part was left to our descendants of the Zhu family, and the other part was specially left to the descendants of the benefactor who rescued him from the Central Plains, and also left us a portrait, let us follow the map, find the descendants of the benefactor, and hand over this treasure to them.
However, in order to ensure that we do not give the wrong person, the ancestors also set up a test, and only through this test can we prove the identity of the benefactor's descendants. ”
