Chapter 744: Zhang Baogen and His People
The instructor was greatly surprised, in the previous thoughts, he really ignored this historical orthodox leader, this person's official position is higher than that of Tong Tu, how can he be obscure?
"Li Shijian Li Dacai is the chief official who really guards the seal of the Nameless Mountain Temple, and Lord Tong's stationing in Jingbian is just a pretense, and his real duty is only to transfer the royal treasure, right?"
"Both are chiefs. Fu Tong shook his head, "It's just that Lord Tong is in the light, Lord Li is in the dark, Lord Tong has suffered many risks, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing for generations, but after surviving, his descendants can enjoy all the wealth; Lord Li may not have to take any risks, but he can never return to this world." ”
"Could it be that Li Shijian's family has been guarding that nameless mountain for generations?" the instructor was unexpected.
"No, although Lord Li and his eldest son can no longer walk out of the Nameless Mountain, the other family members were arranged by the imperial court to change their names and surnames to go to the Western Xinjiang, and there is no news of them. ”
The past is going by, and the instructor didn't expect that there would be so many strange things when the meteorite fell, but I don't know what the emperor had dreamed of? Is the series of complicated arrangements for the treasure or for the secret of the temple in the nameless mountain? Maybe it's both and it isn't.
"So what is the situation around Zhang Lao right now? Who stole the jade token? Could anyone really dare to open the seal of the temple's suppression?"
"Zhang Baogen, I suspect that he stole the jade plate, but there is no evidence. Fu Tong sighed, "The complexity of the Zhang family has been a long time, for the sake of interests and competition for iron tokens, it is common to fight openly and secretly, and even fight, the heads of the family in the past dynasties are smart and ruthless people, otherwise it is difficult to sit in this position for a long time, the Zhang family has only eleven generations since the beginning of the Tong family, but there are nearly thirty patriarchs, each of whom will not live long." ”
"Why fight? In addition to being able to cooperate with the opening of the temple seal, is there any other more important use for the iron token?"
"That's nature. Since Zhang Zishan's generation, it has formed a convention, the iron token represents the interests and discourse rights of a branch in the entire clan, an iron card accounts for one-tenth, the jade card held by the patriarch accounts for two-tenths, and the clan branch of the Zhang family is more than one or twenty, so naturally break the head and grab it. ”
"I'm afraid the wealth in the hands of the Zhang family clan is astronomical, right?"
Fu Tong shook his head, "I don't know, as the 'Tianzhen Guard', in principle, we shouldn't care about this, but now the 'Tianzhen Guard' has also changed, and it is not easy for the head of the family to survive until now." ”
"Why Zhang Baogen?"
"He is a rare genius like Zhang Zijiong, and he also went to be a Taoist, he is not greedy, but he has great ambition, so there is a motive, he always wants to open the temple in the nameless mountain, explore the secrets, I heard that he went in for a while ten years ago, and almost lost his life. ”
The instructor was shocked, Zhang Baogen, another person who was almost ignored, was actually a Taoist priest, Fu Tong evaluated him as a genius, proving that this person's ability is extremely strong, suddenly he thought of Xiaoyaozi, thought of Liuyunguan and Baiyun Dao Chang, and his heart moved, "Where is this Zhang Baogen cultivating?"
"It's a very coincidental coincidence, it is the Taoist Temple of the Ancestor Xiaoyaozi, the Liuyun Temple, and the Taoist name Qingyunzi. ”
The instructor's mouth was not closed, he had been to the Liuyun Temple several times, and knew that there was such a Qingyun Taoist in the temple, but he had never met him, until Zhang Zhiqiang was demonized and made a big fuss about the Taoist Temple, which caused the Liuyun Temple to be completely sealed, and he had never seen the true face of this Qingyun Taoist Leader, and he was actually far away in front of him!
"Zhang Baogen is very good at demagoguery, Xigen, Jingen and Yinggen all listen to him, and he has a lot of influence in the entire family, but on the surface, he pretends to be a Taoist priest who does not ask about mundane things, and he is very skillful. But he is not the most terrible in this generation, there was once a Zhang Huagen, who was the son of the patriarch, and his abilities were above Baogen in all aspects, and the old man was extremely strict with him, and he may have a problem in his heart, shortly after Zhiman was born, Huagen disappeared, and he was gone for more than 20 years, and he has not been heard from since. ”
"What about Zhang Mugen? He is Zhang Changfeng's eldest son, right? What kind of status does he have in the family?" The instructor suddenly interjected, this is a question he has wanted to ask for a long time, but he has never seized the opportunity, since the other party mentioned Zhang Huagen, he simply came to the cold.
Zhang Changfeng is Zhang Changting's cousin, this vein has long been squeezed out of the main vein of the family, Li Tianqi and the instructor have been checked in detail in Honggu County, and later found that something is wrong, Zhang Changfeng's kinship has been deliberately concealed and tampered with, and later in the Zhang ancestral hall, the instructor finally found the relevant information, Zhang Changfeng is actually Zhang Changting's eldest brother, it is nothing more than because of the competition for the position of the patriarch was excluded, then the status of Zhang Zhiqiang, as the eldest son and grandson, can be imagined.
Fu Tong looked at the instructor with a very strange look, he slowly picked up the big teapot and poured a few mouthfuls of water before saying, "Mugen died early, the cause of death is a secret, the lord is very evasive, he was not the Zhang family before he died, and he was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave after his death, the eldest grandson Zhiqiang joined the army and later died." ”
"It's a strange thing, the eldest son and eldest grandson were excluded from the Zhang family early, which is the result of a conflict of interests, which is understandable, but he made a big deal and made a fuss about the official files, almost legally, the relationship between the father and son and the Zhang family was wiped clean, I am curious, what is the reason why Zhang Changting is so ruthless?"
Fu Tong didn't speak, his eyes were full of confusion and chaos, as a de facto retainer, he didn't seem to know so many things, and that period of the past caused him a lot of trouble.
"Zhang Zhiqiang is not dead, you know, now he has made a shocking case, and it is also related to the secrets guarded by the Zhang family, from the beginning of talking about the past of the Zhang family, you completely avoided Zhang Mugen's family, why? Since you want to discuss, you should always show your sincerity, right?" The instructor looked at each other coldly, the Zhang family's past was almost heard, and the matter gradually became clear, and then there were details and all kinds of unknown scandals.
For a notebook, Zhang Mugen stole a lot of things from the original Honggu old ancestral hall, and the most important thing was a notebook, which was written by the ancestor Zhang Zishan. ”
That's right, although Zhang Mugen's father and son were excluded from the family, they still mastered a lot of the core secrets of the Zhang family, which originated from this notebook, so the notebook he saw in the ancestral hall of Funiu Town was added later, no wonder there are many things wrong.
"Later, Zhang Mugen died, when did it happen? Where was Zhang Zhiqiang at that time?"
"That's right, he died shortly after the matter was revealed, when Zhiqiang was still young. ”
"Did you find the journal?"
"It's not clear, after Zhiqiang became a soldier, the lord took pity on Zhang Zicui's mother and daughter, so he took them to Funiu Town. ”
"It's not a simple pity for their mother and daughter, is it? ”
Fu Tong stopped talking, whether he didn't know or didn't want to say it, it didn't matter anymore, the instructor himself already had an answer, and the small courtyard fell into silence for a moment.
