Section 1: Woe to you

The summer in Yuezhou is annoying, the sunlight is not warmly pouring down, but it makes people want to peel off a few layers of their own skin - that may be cool, not like a few cats in the heart, scratching everywhere, scratching people are itchy and annoying, and want to plunge into the ancient well, to have a happy refreshment.

However, no matter how annoying and itchy it is, there will be no shortage of work on the shoulders, not to mention that in a few days it will be the 60th birthday of the richest man in Yuezhou. Speaking of Master Fang, the people of Yuezhou all gave a thumbs up. This old man, surnamed Fang Xianzhong, was originally not a person from the ground in Yuezhou, but a person from the original suzerainty of Yuezhou, the Great Qing State. When he was a teenager, Master Fang's family encountered a catastrophe and famine, and fled to South Vietnam, but somehow he arrived in Yuezhou, relying on himself not afraid of hardship, and having a smart brain, within a few years, he became the leading wealthy businessman in Yuezhou City. Although this Master Fang doesn't read much, he has the best heart, and the sick, weak, orphaned and disabled old people in Yuezhou City are not less taken care of by Master Fang. Therefore, the sixty full life of this old man has become the top priority on the ground in Yuezhou.

It stands to reason that Master Fang is now rich and rich, full of children and grandchildren, and in a few days, it will be Jiazi's life, and his life should be extremely satisfying and joyful. However, at this time, Master Fang was in his study, with a sad face.

It's been two days in a row. Every morning, Master Fang found a box in his bedroom, the box was a rough plane wood box, not even painted, and it was only a few dozen yuan on the street.

However, it was such an ordinary box, and on the morning of the first day, it was the skin of the Persian cat that he loved the most, and when he slept the night before, he teased the cat for a long time. But when he awoke, the cat's fur was neatly placed in a box on the table in the room, and the ears were still as warm and alive as last night. The eyes of those two cats are still as crystal clear as agate.

The next morning, it was a chicken in the box. After Master Fang's family business got bigger and bigger, he fell in love with cockfighting when he got older. There are a lot of chickens at home, and this Gallic chicken is the most proud of Master Fang these days, and he is invincible for Master Fang, and he has won back a lot of face and silver. However, just a few days after the victory, this Gallic chicken was plucked clean of its feathers, and it was sent to Master Fang's bedroom in a box naked.

The strange things that happened in the morning for two consecutive days made Master Fang more and more frightened in his heart. The consequence of Master Fang's fear was that the whole Fang Mansion was in good spirits, and the guards were divided into three shifts, patrolling back and forth in the courtyard, and in front of Master Fang's bedroom, there were even more loyal family members, and the sons were even more armed, sitting in the house with Master Fang, but no one dared to sleep.

On the morning of the third day, the box still appeared, but it was placed at the door of the Fang Mansion. This time, the box was small, like a box that the ladies usually used to make up. There is only a white cloth inside, and there are four blood characters on the white cloth: chicken and dog are not left.

When Master Fang received this piece of white cloth, his trembling hands calmed down, and his face calmed down. It is the person who came through the wind and waves, although there will be a panic when the crisis is unclear and unknown. But when the crisis really comes, some people face self-confidence and disdain for the crisis.

"The big guys have been busy all night, and they are all tired, Shoude, let everyone go and rest. Now that you've called your door, there's no need to worry. If there is anything, I will give you an explanation before the meal. ”

Shoude is the eldest son of Master Fang, less than forty years old, because he has been working hard in the shopping mall for a long time, he is extremely shrewd and capable. Hearing Master Fang's words, he stood up and strode out, only to hear him whispering a few words outside, and chaotic footsteps sounded outside, and after a while, it was quiet. But Fang Shoude knew that this was just a superficial quiet. This news will spread throughout the entire Fang Mansion in a while, and after a while, the entire Yuezhou City will know that someone is going to leave the Fang Mansion chicken dog.

Chickens and dogs don't stay? What a big breath, with other Fang Shoude here, who would dare to say such a thing? Saying such things is clearly not taking other Fang Shoude in his eyes. On the ground of this Yuezhou, the people who don't take the virtue of others in their eyes are all people who have evaporated. Fang Shoude was secretly more energetic in his heart, thinking only about how to dig out the person who sent the box and cut it with a thousand knives to vent his hatred.

Master Fang, Fang Xianzhong, was very calm. He knew in his heart who did it and why. He knew that the Fang family was likely to be in danger this time. When his daughter and son-in-law told him about it seven years ago, he expected it to be today. It's been seven years, and although I haven't fulfilled my mandate, I've finally done my best.

The weather in Yuezhou in the morning is a little hot, and everyone hasn't slept all night, and the clothes on their bodies have long been soaked with sweat, and they are wet and sticky to their bodies, which is particularly annoying. As soon as the sun rises in the morning, it shines on people's bodies, which makes people even more restless.

But Fang Xianzhong didn't speak, even the most temperamental old Sanfang was trustworthy and the most clean-loving old Sifang Shouli, they all sat motionless in their chairs, not daring to say anything.

Without waiting for Fang Shoude to come back, the old Sanfang Shouxin couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted loudly: "Father, on the ground in Yuezhou, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?" You don't have to worry, I'll go to the police station and ask Hu Laosan to pull all the people in Yuezhou City to find out who this son of a bitch raised, and I will pick his skin myself. ”

Fang Xianzhong glanced at Fang Shouxin lightly, pointed to the cat skin on the table, and said to Fang Shouxin: "Can you peel it so neatly?" ”

Fang Shouxin suddenly became dumbfounded. Among Master Fang's three sons, the most shrewd in the business field is the boss Fang Shoude, the best poetry is Lao Sifang Shouyi, and he is the most diligent and best in martial arts, and he has always been called a good hand. He naturally saw what kind of knife skills were needed to peel such a piece of fur. He had seen the skinned cat, its whole body crystal clear, and it had not pierced the inner skin at all. This kind of knife skill, he can't practice it even if he slaps a horse and rides a steamer in this life. If such a person makes a move, only the father can let go of a couple. But my father will be 60 years old in the next day, and if I want my father, who is the age of a sixtieth birthday, to make a move, even if others don't say it, I will be ashamed to stick my head into the crotch of my pants and never want to lift it up again. Thinking of this, Fang Shouxin, who had always been accused of being a big boss, blushed and said, "I can't do it!" So what? If he dares to come, I will kill him even if I try my best! ”

Fang Xianzhong did not answer. After a while, Fang Shoude came back, and with him, there was also Fang Wanrong, Fang Shouxin's second sister. I saw Fang Wanrong come in. Fang Xianzhong sighed. I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart.

"I told them not to alarm you, but I didn't expect you to know. It's nothing, your father is not old yet, and they don't dare to bully them openly. ”

Fang Wanrong smiled, she was not beautiful, but there was a kind of gentleness when she smiled, "Father, this matter started with a daughter, no matter what, I have to give an explanation to my brothers and brothers." It's been seven years, and my daughter has been thinking in her heart that it's been almost three hundred years, and now the Qing Dynasty is also stormy and crumbling, so it's time to let go of the previous grievances and stop here. Even if the Zhu Ming family is really wiped out, what is the use now? Unexpectedly, they still came. ”

Fang Xianzhong smiled bitterly: "Even if you don't count the grievances between the two dynasties, these two factions have been fighting for more than two hundred years, and this blood feud has long ceased to do the matter of rise and fall, and now, it is just a personal grudge between the two sects." There will always be one side that has to shed all its blood to wash away the grudges of the past three hundred years. ”

The three brothers next to me, you look at me, I look at you, but I am inexplicable, I don't know what the two are talking about. Fang Xianzhong turned back to them and said, "I originally thought that if this matter came to me, it would be over." I didn't expect it, but it still came, I was going to bring this thing to the coffin, and you guys will live like this. I didn't expect that. Fang Xianzhong shook his head and slowly told the past.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang passed on his grandson but not his son, which led King Yan to rebel, and finally entered the Beijing Division, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yun fled in panic, and only Huang and Liu's two guards followed loyally and protected along the way, and only fled to Nanyang to settle down. Later, Zhu Yunwen had an heir with the concubine who escaped from the palace together. In order to allow his heirs to escape Zhu Di's pursuit, Zhu Yunwen took the guards surnamed Liu back to the Ming Dynasty, and deliberately revealed his hiding in a temple, like Zhu Di showed that he had no intention of competing for the throne, and became a monk after leaving the palace, and had no heirs. Only then did Zhu Di put his mind at ease. And the guard surnamed Huang and the concubine did their best to raise Zhu Yunwen's heir and lived a plain and happy life.

However, the good times passed by in a hurry. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they wantonly slaughtered the royal family surnamed Zhu of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know where the news leaked, the Manchu Qing actually knew that there was still a line of Zhu Yunwen in Nanyang, and the Manchus were afraid that the remnants of the Han people would find the line of Zhu Yunwen and let the ashes rekindle, and the embers would start a new fire, so they asked the Qingmen outside the gate to take action. At this time, the Zhu and Huang clans, after two hundred years of multiplication, were already wealthy families in Nanyang, with more than a few hundred people in a single clan. The guard surnamed Huang was originally born in Wudang, and for two hundred years, although he has lived a peaceful life, Nanyang is a foreign country after all, and the Nanyang people are very Chinese, so everyone in the Zhu and Huang clans practices martial arts, and they are the most fierce. It's just that the Qingmen is in the dark, and the Zhu and Huang clans are in the light, with a deliberate calculation or no intention, and finally overnight, the Zhu and Huang clans suffered a catastrophe of annihilation. But the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and at that time, the Zhu and Huang tribes each had their own clansmen outside and escaped. Those clansmen refused to give up, and wanted to avenge their family and country. As a result, the Zhu and Huang tribes launched bloody revenge against the Manchus, assassinated and poisoned, led the people to revolt, and did everything they could. For more than 200 years, the bloody wind and rain can be a lose-lose result.

But on the whole, it is the Zhu and Huang clans that are increasingly at a disadvantage, because the Qing Gate is backed by the Manchu royal family, has the power of the whole country, and there is a Taishan trend in the court and the opposition. Although the Zhu and Huang clans have accumulated for 200 years, their vitality was greatly damaged when they were wiped out, and most of the talents and wealth of the 100 years were burned. In this way, when it came to the Daoguang period, the Zhu and Huang clans were extremely withered, but there were only seven people. These people consulted with each other, but they did not want to do anything more. Hundreds of years of right and wrong, so that these people can see the world clearly, and when they feel that this grievance and vendetta have no end, they decided to cut off the past. So these seven people made an appointment, three people surnamed Huang stayed in Nanyang, and four people surnamed Zhu crossed the ocean and avoided it far away to extend the bloodline. It happened that at this time, the foreign invasion was carried out, and the Qing State was too busy to take care of itself. As a result, the enmity was broken, and the rivers and seas sent the rest of their lives.

But unexpectedly, nine years ago, a descendant of the Zhu family suddenly returned to Nanyang. It turned out that the four members of the Zhu family went to the United States, and within a few years they encountered the division of the United States, and in the past few years, the situation has changed, turning clouds and rains, representing the people and betraying the people. In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, let alone outsiders with different skin colors. The Zhu family was not only ostracized by the local whites, but even worse, attracted rebels to loot them. In the past 30 years, the survival of the Zhu clan in the United States has become more and more difficult, and they have no choice but to return to Nanyang in embarrassment and join the Nanyang Huang clan.

When he returned to Nanyang, there was only one male left in the Zhu family, called Zhu Yizhou. The Huang family broke off the enmity because of the previous generation, and did not inform the clansmen of the joys and sorrows of the two clans for more than 400 years. The clansmen of the Huang family only thought that Zhu Yizhou was a distant in-law who took refuge, and often treated them coldly. Zhu Yizhou then left angrily, and met Fang Wanrong on the way, and the two fell in love at first sight, and they got married for a hundred years.

Unexpectedly, three years ago, news suddenly came from Nanyang, saying that a local family surnamed Huang had been wiped out overnight. The house was also set on fire. Hearing the news, Zhu Yizhou went to Nanyang alone to investigate, and after coming back, he didn't say a word, and a few days later, he left his young wife and wife without saying goodbye, and he has been missing since.

Now, the cause of the calamity planted in the Zhu family's bloodline has been retributed to the Fang family, who has always been kind and benevolent.
