Jiang's villa mansion in the east of the city.

The head of the family, Jiang Rongzhan, was furious, and slammed the white porcelain teacup in his hand to the ground and smashed it.

"A bunch of useless things, people smash the field, and have the face to complain!" Jiang Rongzhan roared angrily, his face turned red with anger, and his fists clenched "clucking".

Fortunately, Jiang Rongzhan received the news early, and when he heard that something had happened in the jade shop, he immediately made a decision and sent a few warriors over to bring back all the evidence present, and cleaned up the scene in time before alarming the police.

A group of gamblers, thugs and buddies in the casino, as well as four camera monitors inside and outside the flower building, including the broken jade toad and the brass pocket case, were all presented to Jiang Rongzhan.

Jiang Wan and Jin Ge were carried back, several private doctors hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, all kinds of medical equipment were used, and the diagnosis came out immediately, Jiang Wan had a fragile fracture of both legs, Yan Zòng had a concussion, his arm was half disabled, and his teeth were lost, and he became a completely wasted person.

Brother Jin has the kung fu foundation of a martial artist in the early stage of the Yellow Rank, and his situation is slightly better than Jiang Wan, but he also lost a leg and lost a mouthful of teeth.

Jiang Rongzhan barely kept his composure, personally interrogated the people present at the time, from gamblers to thugs and guys, carefully questioned them one by one, watched the surveillance video twice, and finally figured out the cause of the incident.

In the video, Yun Kang shows his might, not only has excellent gambling skills, but also has strong kung fu, which is obviously a hard idea that is difficult to stumble.

Jiang Rongzhan's face was ugly, and he scolded Jiang Wancheng for not doing enough to fail, and he didn't want to find death by himself, and he also brought a bad star to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family has withered in recent years, so Jiang Rongzhan had no choice but to reuse Jiang Wan. Unexpectedly, this distant nephew not only didn't care about things, but was arrogant and arrogant, and used the power of the Jiang family to start a new stove on his own.

Jiang Rongzhan turned a blind eye to him, and didn't want to say anything, he sent him to deliver a pocket watch yesterday, but Jiang Wan couldn't even handle such a trivial matter, and he lost the pocket watch in his own casino.

Jiang Rongzhan was very angry and scolded him, but fortunately, a tracking and locator was installed in the case, and he hurriedly sent two early Yellow Order martial artists to find it. Unexpectedly, the pocket watch was snatched by a young man, and two warriors were seriously injured.

According to Snake Fang and Spotted Fish, the person who injured them was a young man wearing a black sportsshirt and skateboard shoes, and his skills were at least at the level of the early stage of the Yellow Order.

Jiang Rongzhan watched the surveillance video twice, and it was easy to match the person who grabbed the pocket watch and the person who was in the casino, both of which were done by the same person, this person was in his twenties, named Yunkang.

Jiang Rongzhan held the empty case in his hand, and the cloud pattern on it was soaked in black blood, revealing a strange dark light.

At this time, his heart was mixed, his thoughts were very chaotic, and he rubbed the case with his palm, and his fingers trembled slightly.

This pocket watch, also known as the "Fu Gong Array Plate", is an old object handed down from generation to generation by his Jiang family, and it is said that it hides an unknown secret. Moreover, the array is light and cannot be shown, otherwise it may lead to a catastrophe.

The matter of the talisman array is a long story, and it has to be traced back to Jiang Rongzhan's grandfather.

Grandpa Tai was born in the late Qing Dynasty and was originally a descendant of the Jiang family. At the age of fifteen, he was separated from his family in the war, and he wandered around alone, carrying only a bronze talisman array with him. It was shaped like a pocket watch, and it would help him find someone in his family.

At that time, the situation in the late Qing Dynasty was unstable, the invasion of foreign powers, the uprising of the Twist Army, and the uneven power of several hidden families, and they also began to secretly pour out the melee. In order to avoid trouble, Grandpa had to hide his name and did not dare to look for family members. It wasn't until twenty years later that he returned to the town he had left behind, but he could no longer find the shadow of his family.

When Grandpa was young, he learned some treasure appreciation knowledge in the family, and he was good at counterfeiting antiques, and his craftsmanship was very exquisite, and it was difficult for ordinary appraisers to distinguish the authenticity.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the army was in chaos, and Grandpa Tai saw many foreigners looting antiques everywhere, so he decided to break into the world in the antique business. The antiques were hidden in the prosperous times, and the gold was hidden in the troubled times, and the antiques at that time were not valuable, and they only needed some grain to collect valuable old objects.

Grandpa secretly built an earthen kiln in the countryside, and all the antiques he collected were copied, and then the real things were hidden, and the fake products were sold to foreign devils.

Relying on his shrewd mind and super craftsmanship, he soon became prosperous in the antique business, made a fortune, and became famous, and became a guest of foreigners.

At that time, many foreigners asked him to help identify and collect antiques, so he took the opportunity to steal beams and replace pillars, and exchanged all the real things with high-imitation fakes.

Many people in the antique industry saw him make a fortune, and they were very red-eyed, and openly and secretly scolded him as a traitor. But Grandpa Tai didn't think so at all, he had countless good things, all of which were hidden for future generations, and none of them were left to foreign devils. One day the prosperous era will come, and these antiques alone will make the Jiang family rich.

Soon entered the Republic of China period, and there were more and more antique treasures of grandpa, so they were hidden in batches. He told his son the exact location of the treasure, and fearing that future generations would not be able to find the place, passed down a book and a map, in which there are clues to the place of the treasure.

This is the first batch of treasures hidden by the Jiang family.

Before his death, Grandpa Tai passed on the talisman array disc that he had been with him for many years to his son, so that he could find the Jiang family no matter what, and take his descendants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

Soon the situation was turbulent, and the antique shops of my grandfather's generation could not survive, so they resold the inventory in the shops, and the remaining valuable antiques were hidden next to the abandoned kilns in the countryside.

In order to make it easier to find the hidden treasure in the future, my grandfather also drew a map, and then put on his armor and went to the army to fight.

This is the second batch of treasures hidden by the Jiang family.

After the liberation, life was stable, and my grandfather decided to take out some of the treasures near the abandoned kiln, but it was very strange that those houses, rivers and trees in the countryside were all there, and only the abandoned kiln was gone.

Grandpa searched for it according to the map drawn back then, and rummaged for more than a month, but he didn't find any traces.

After he came back, he couldn't figure out whether the treasure would run if it had long legs, he was obsessed with this matter, and secretly investigated for many years, but still no results.

Fortunately, his three sons are bold and meticulous, and their craftsmanship is superb, and they can make a lot of money by imitating some fake antiques and ancient jade and selling them secretly.

But in those days, it was illegal to resell antiques, whether it was genuine or imitation, it was not allowed to be bought and sold, and if it was caught, it would be imprisoned. Therefore, the Jiang family was cautious and cautious, kept a low profile, only did business with acquaintances, and gradually accumulated a lot of money.

Grandpa was old, so he moved the idea of returning to the hidden family. Back then, Grandpa lost contact with the family in a small town in the southwest, and if he wanted to find clues about the family, he could only rely on that piece of talisman array.

So the three sons took the opportunity to go to the countryside to collect antiques, and by the way, they took people to the small town in the southwest to find clues.

They walked all the way, exchanged food stamps and daily necessities for a lot of antiques with the villagers in the mountains, and loaded three whole wagons.

At that time, the act of collecting antiques was too ostentatious, and it was easy to cause sensitive issues. So the three brothers first hid the collected antiques in the mountains, made a mark, and then slowly excavated them later, so as not to attract attention.

With their minds set, they collected antiques and antiques along the way, and made detailed markings and maps at each treasure location.

This is the third batch of treasures hidden by the Jiang family.

The three brothers went out for more than half a year, and went to the small town in the southwest, taking the talisman array plate to find the Jiang family.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened in the end, and the whole army was wiped out, leaving only the second son injured and fleeing back.

Seeing that the three brothers were killed and one was injured, the grandfather couldn't stand the heavy blow and had a heart attack on the spot. Before he died, he only had time to say two words, "Red Mansion", and then he died.

The only second son who came back was Jiang Rongzhan's father, he got the two treasure maps handed down by his grandfather and grandfather, but he didn't know where the specific location was, and what the meaning of the word "Red Mansion" represented, let alone the edge.

Jiang Rongzhan's father never mentioned the incident of Guzhenzi, so no one knew what happened back then.

It wasn't until the night before the old man died that he called his two sons to his side, that is, Jiang Rongzhan and his eldest brother, and the old man told everything about the year, and the brothers broke out in a cold sweat when they heard it.

Time goes back to forty years ago, when the three brothers of the Jiang family took the talisman array plate to find the hidden Jiang family. They drew a simple map based on the memories left by their grandfather, and the town was quickly marked on the map.

At that time, the people were conservative, and the locals were very wary of outsiders, so the Jiang brothers put up the carriage and disguised themselves as timber workers, and soon mixed into the town.

This is a remote ancient town located in the southwest, there is an ancient name called "Qimen Eight Immortals Town", the buildings are mostly handed down in the Ming Dynasty, although after many years of war and artillery fire, but the houses and courtyards are well preserved.

The population of Baxian Town is very sparse, a huge ancient town, with only more than 300 residents.

The Jiang brothers have traveled south and north for many years, have rich experience and are shrewd, and as soon as they enter the ancient town, they feel strange everywhere.

There were no young people in the ancient town, not a single woman, all old men in their seventies and eighties, and they were deaf and dumb, and they could not communicate with them at all.

The Jiang brothers felt that something was wrong, and that night they took more than 20 of their men to find the only Taoist temple in the ancient town to rest. Before going to bed, everyone should take the dagger stick with them, just in case.

In the middle of the night, a guy got up to relieve his hands, and found two teams of black-clothed people sneaking in from outside the Taoist temple.

The Jiang brothers were awakened by the scream, and led more than 20 middle-aged men to fight against the men in black, but in less than half an hour, they were all killed by the men in black.

The second child of the Jiang family was stabbed in the back, fainted on the spot, and when he woke up, he found that the Taoist temple was full of blood, corpses everywhere, and his two brothers also died under the knife of the man in black.

Jiang Lao Er endured his grief and climbed into the carriage carrying the goods, and whipped the old horse fiercely, and the carriage took him out of town, and he fainted in the carriage.

Later, a fisherman saved Jiang Lao Er, in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he said a bunch of words of thanks, and left the food stamps and sugar in his backpack, and left before the injury was healed.

When the fisherman saw the food stamps and sugar, he couldn't close his mouth happily, he was worried that Jiang Lao Er would get lost, so he specially exchanged two fish for a worn-out map of the whole country, and a red circle was drawn on the map, which was the village where he was staying now.

Jiang Lao Er looked at the map and was very surprised, because this red circle was the Eight Immortals Town they had been to.

He was scared into a cold sweat, it turned out that the carriage had run a big circle, and he didn't even leave the ancient town.

The fisherman saw that his face had changed dramatically, and he did not know why, so he asked him what had happened. So Jiang Lao Er told the whole thing, which also scared the fisherman.

The fisherman took him to ask a few old people in the village, and some people remembered that a group of people came to their village with a feng shui disc in their hands, and asked about the ancient town of the Ming Dynasty.

The villagers have been fishing and farming for generations, and they don't know what the ancient town of the Ming Dynasty is, these people hovered in the village for more than half a month, and finally found nothing, so they left in a huff.

Jiang Lao Er was confused when he heard it, and felt that this matter was very bizarre.

When he returned home, his father had a heart attack and died soon after, so he kept the secret from anyone and didn't tell anyone. What happened in Eight Immortals Town, and why the two brothers died, he himself didn't know anything.

After a few more years, Jiang Lao Er saw that the shape was very good, so he took people to dig in the place where the antiques were hidden.

Strange things happened, when the three brothers hid treasures all the way, a total of ten places were buried, but when he went to look for it, he only found two, and the rest of the places seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace at all.

In the 90s of the last century, the antique industry slowly became popular, and the Jiang Rongzhan brothers grew up, inherited their father's skills, and made a fortune by pouring real and fake antiques, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.

At this time, everyone knew the value of antiques, and even the old farmers in the remote mountainous areas became more savvy, and the things in the old houses at home were not sold, so it was becoming more and more difficult for antique dealers to go to the countryside to pick up leaks, and to collect some valuable good things.

After the death of their father, the brothers began to ponder the source of antiques, their Jiang family buried three batches of treasures before and after several generations, all of them are top-level antiques, countless good things, if the treasures are dug up, the Jiang family can make a fortune, and it is definitely the best in the antique circle.

But finding treasures is not an overnight thing, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, the Jiang family invested in the film and television industry, got a crew to shoot ancient culture documentaries, and then went to various places to find treasures in the name of the crew filming and filming.

Two years ago, they finally found Baxian Town in the southwest, in addition to the crew, Jiang Rongzhan's brother and sister-in-law and nephew, as well as his own eldest son Jiang Mo were also present.

After finding Baxian Town, everyone was very excited, Jiang Mo specially used the Ming Dynasty buildings of Baxian Town as the background, took a few selfies and sent them to Jiang Rongzhan, and left a message on WeChat, saying the specific location of Baxian Town, and told Jiang Rongzhan that they would soon be able to find clues to the family and treasure.

But Jiang Rongzhan was upset that night, he couldn't sleep, and he had a very ominous premonition when he looked at the thunderstorm outside the window.

He suddenly remembered that in the photo taken by his son, there was a background of the eaves of the Taoist temple, and he suddenly felt cold and his hair stood on end, so he quickly called his son and asked them not to stay in the Taoist temple overnight.

As a result, the phone could not be connected, and the brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews also lost contact.

Jiang Rongzhan suddenly panicked, and hurriedly gathered several martial arts masters around him, took a plane to the southwest overnight, and went to the Eight Immortals Town according to the address Jiang Mo said.

When they arrived at the place, they found that it was a small village, and there was no ancient town of the Ming Dynasty at all. Villagers accidentally found more than 30 bodies by the river, as well as some damaged camera equipment.

Jiang Rongzhan found Jiang Mo in the corpse, and his son only had one breath left, handed him the blood-stained talisman array, and then died without saying a word.

The police investigated the entire village, and the villagers were not suspected of murder. The corpse appeared as if out of thin air, with a fatal knife wound to the neck, but not a lot of blood. And there are a lot of belongings on the corpse, obviously not for money, the only suspicious thing is that the memory cards in the camera are all gone.

In the end, the matter became an unsolved case, and no clues to the murderer have been found until now.

Jiang Rongzhan's son Jiang Mo, as well as his brother and sister-in-law and nephew, and the crew members, all died overnight, and this incident hit him very hard, thinking that the talisman array was very dangerous and a bad thing.

Jiang Rongzhan found a lot of ancient books and materials, and asked experts to help study the array plate, but no one could understand the meaning of the cloud pattern on the case.

Every time he opened the shell of the array disk, he could smell a strange fishy smell, mixed with the rust of the ancient brass, and the eerie feeling was very strong.

This thing made him nervous, and he wanted to throw it away several times, but the array plate was something that Grandpa Tai brought out of the family back then, and it was also the only token that could find the clues of the family, so it must not be lost.

Jiang Rongzhan locked the array disk in the safe, planning not to touch it for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I suddenly received a mysterious text message, which mentioned the word "Red Mansion", if you want to know the secret, you will take the talisman array plate to the train station to find the connector to exchange.

Jiang Rongzhan was very shocked, the word "Red Mansion" is a treasure clue left by Grandpa Tai and Grandpa, why would outsiders know this. So he found someone to install a tracking locator in the metal shell of the array disk, and as long as the other party got the array disk, he could track it down to the end.

went to the train station to meet the connector, Jiang Rongzhan didn't have to go out in person for such a thing, he arranged for his distant nephew Jiang Wan to do it, but the matter was not done, but he lost the array.

The development of things turned around, so that Jiang Rongzhan did not expect, Jiang Wan's legs were broken, he was concussed unconscious, and the clues of the whole thing seemed to be broken, but a new key person appeared.

That's Yunkang.

There is only one shell left in the array disk, and you don't have to guess to know that the things inside must be in Yunkang's hands.

Jiang Rongzhan couldn't understand that the Jiang family had not understood the mystery of the array for several generations, could it be that Yunkang had the ability to uncover the mystery? Perhaps he was the connector of the train station and knew what the meaning of "Red Mansion" represented.

This person is not only dangerous, but there must be some conspiracy. Jiang Rongzhan narrowed his eyes, the Jiang family couldn't mess with themselves, first send someone to investigate secretly, and then study how to deal with it.

It's just that Jiang Rongzhan's sons and nephews are dead, Jiang Wan has become crippled again, and it's not easy to find someone to share his worries and do things.

Although the Jiang family has raised a few powerful martial artists, they are all brave and unscrupulous, and letting them do such things will only get worse and worse.

Jiang Rongzhan thought that he also had a prospective son-in-law, who was engaged to his daughter Jiang Xixi a year ago, this son-in-law is shrewd and capable, and he is also safe, and he should be able to become his right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Jiang Rongzhan made a phone call to his prospective son-in-law: "Ding Pan, you help your uncle investigate a person, be more careful in everything, remember not to startle the snake, this person's name is Yunkang!"
