Zhang Ze didn't find what he was looking for, he was a little stupid, and after staying in the house for a while, he reluctantly turned around and pushed open the door and walked out.

"Brother Zhang, didn't Shicai say that the night is not peaceful, don't run around?" The person leaning on the door waited for Zhang Ze to calm down, then opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice.

"Then, that, isn't it that an old friend came to me for an urgent matter, so he came over to take a look!" Zhang Ze took a closer look and found that the person leaning against the door was Sanqing, and he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably flustered, so he casually made up this reason, wanting to fool the past. But he seems to be a little too naïve, since Sanqing will follow him here, how can he be fooled so easily.

"Oh. So, I don't know if I met this friend?" Sanqing asked in a deep voice with squinted eyes.

"No!" Zhang Ze blurted out, obviously not very good at lying.

"I haven't found anything yet!" Sanqing continued.

"I didn't ...... No, what is it?" Zhang Ze said to his lips, feeling wrong, and quickly changed his words, pretending to be confused.

"Brother Zhang, we are all smart people, so we don't have to pretend to be stupid, right? I'm very honest with you, I thought you were too, but I didn't expect it...... Hey, before you go out, Brother Lu can tell me that you are a trustworthy person, you really disappointed me!" Sanqing shook his head and said, pretending to be disappointed.

"That, little brother, listen to me, I, I'm really not the kind of person you think, I, I didn't come to swallow the treasure map alone, but I couldn't get angry, I wanted to settle accounts with the old man first, but I didn't expect him to be there, so I thought about it to see if I could find the family tree!" Zhang Ze opened his mouth and explained in a slurred manner.

"Is that really the case?" asked Sanqing with a squint.

"There is half a lie, and there are five thunders in the sky!" Zhang Ze saw that Sanqing was still a letter, and immediately launched a poisonous oath.

"Okay, there's no need to swear!" Sanqing interrupted Zhang Ze, walked in front of Zhang Ze from the gate, and then continued: "Your second uncle is not at home?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Ze nodded.

"Then do you know where else to find him besides here?" asked Sanqing after a moment's thought.

"There is another place, if I can't find him in that place, I really don't know where to look for it!" Zhang Ze said without thinking.

"Where?"

"Our Zhang family ancestral hall!" Zhang Ze replied.

"Lead the way!" Sanqing said in a deep voice. Then he made a way, Zhang Ze went directly, pushed open the door and walked out, leaving the house he used to exchange for the ownership of No. 3 Dog Lane with the family tree.

Zhang Ze led Sanqing back to the street, and after passing through the bazaar, he turned back to Dog Alley. But instead of going home, he walked directly through Dog Alley and entered the alley connected to Dog Alley. The alley is more than two meters wide, which looks much more comfortable than Dog Alley, but it is not long, and there is only one building in the alley, so this so-called alley is just the wall of this building.

Zhang Ze walked to the middle of the wall, where there was a pair of open gates, and the size of the door was no less than that of the Zhang family's ancestral house at No. 3 Dog Lane, but the façade was already mottled and unpresentable, and it was completely impossible to see what color the original paint was. On the door frame hangs a crooked plaque with four words written on it: "Zhangjia Ancestral Hall".

Zhang Ze walked up the steps, stood in front of the door, and also took out the key he had opened the door of his second uncle's house earlier, inserted it into the big padlock lock on the door, and tinkered. After about half a minute, the door lock clicked open.

"Isn't this your ancestral hall, why do you want to pick the lock?" Seeing this, Sanqing asked puzzled.

A few years ago, the government said that it was going to turn this place into a museum, and gave a subsidy to take the house away. Since it is the state, we must support it unconditionally, but I never thought that when I inquired about it, it turned out that a big boss in the provincial capital had colluded with the ruffians in the town to deceive the ancestral hall under the guise of the state, and my second uncle was unwilling to do it at that time, and all kinds of trouble, but you signed the contract in black and white, and stamped your fingerprints, what is the use of making trouble! At that time, I was threatened once by the thugs sent by the big boss, saying that if I dared to make trouble, I would let the Zhang family die! You say, where do I dare to do anything after all this is done!" Zhang Ze sighed and said, his tone full of helplessness.

"Then they bought your ancestral hall, why didn't they tear it down and lock it up?" Sanqing asked curiously, looking at the big lock on the door.

"Occupy the pit and don't, or it's not time to use it, the devil knows! Anyway, I haven't been near here since, but my second uncle often sneaks over the wall to go in, saying that it is to worship the ancestors, whether it is or not, I don't know!" Zhang Ze said with a little anger, and then pushed the door open. Speaking of this, Zhang Ze suddenly remembered his second uncle, and remembered that he seemed to have been working hard to preserve these things left by the ancestors of the Zhang family for so many years. As for that genealogy, could he really know what trouble it would bring before taking it away? Thinking of this, Zhang Ze suddenly felt a little ashamed.

"Come in! If you are found by those thugs, you won't be able to eat and walk around!" Zhang Ze said softly to Sanqing, and then took the lead in walking in.

"Do they still have people to guard here?" asked Sanqing suspiciously, faintly feeling that this matter was a little strange.

"No, there are more than a dozen tall guys left, who run rampant in the town every day, making people panic!" Zhang Ze said in a deep voice, and then closed the door casually.

After listening to Zhang Ze's words, Sanqing no longer spoke, but thought about it by himself. In the end, he came to the conclusion that this ancestral hall must have some unknown secrets, otherwise those people would not have to bother.

"You're following me, this place is dark, it's not very safe, and I heard that there were some unclean things dangling here before!" Zhang Ze said in a weird way, and he didn't know if he was serious or wanted to scare Sanqing.

"Don't worry, I'll follow you!" Sanqing replied with a smile.

As soon as Sanqing's words fell, Zhang Ze took a step forward, it was dark in this ancestral hall, and Zhang Ze was moving forward completely by feeling. Maybe it's because I haven't been to my ancestral hall for too long, and I haven't gone out a few steps before I bump into something with a bang.
