Lao Wan went on to tell his story: "At the end of that year, when Emperor Li Congke set himself on fire, he did not let the heirloom jade seal accompany the burial. ”

"At that time, King Yan was sitting in Pengmen, which is now Xuzhou, and he still had some strength, and in the clan, he was the only one who could barely compete with Shi Jingjiao, and the last emperor didn't have many options if he wanted to continue the Li Tang Dynasty."

"It was the commanders of the forbidden army who completed this task, Wu Shaoding, Xie Yushan, and Hu Zai'an. The three of them knew that they might not be able to come back, so when they went to Xuzhou, they arranged for someone to go back to Luoyang to pick up their families and secretly go south. ”

"However, after the three of them arrived in Xuzhou City, it was rumored that King Yan had colluded with Shi Jingjiao and changed the court at any time, which completely went against Li Congke's original intention, and the three of them had to deal with it carefully."

In order to test whether King Yan really planned to surrender, the three agreed that Hu Zaian, who was the most able to act at the opportunity, would directly announce the decree to King Yan, but not mention the matter of the jade seal for the time being. At the same time, for the sake of insurance, Wu Shaoding escorted Yuxi out of the city first, and Xie Yushan stayed in the city to inquire about the news, waiting for King Yan to respond after receiving the order. ”

As a result, after Hu Zai'an entered the palace, he did not return for a long time. Xie Yushan judged that the big thing was not good, Hu Zai'an must be more auspicious and less lucky, and the surrender of King Yan was a certainty, and it was definitely not a rumor. Poor Hu Zai'an, he couldn't even find his body after his death. ”

At this time, Luoyang was besieged and there was no way out. Wu Shaoding discussed with Xie Yushan that it would not take long for them to escort the jade seal south to be exposed, so they simply went all the way south and crossed the river to avoid trouble. ”

"Wu Shaoding and Xie Yushan came to Jinling, which is now Nanjing, which was the jurisdiction of Yang Wu of the Ten Kingdoms at that time, and the territory was quite stable, so they settled down."

"In order to avoid others chasing and following, Wu Shaoding changed his surname to Yu, and Xie Yushan changed his surname to Fang!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help asking: "Hu Zai'an's family hasn't changed their surname?" ”

Lao Wan said in a deep voice: "The Hu family has indeed not changed!" Three people went out, two people came back, and the other person's life and death were unknown, and under the circumstances at that time, Wu and Xie couldn't tell the truth, and this grudge was settled. So when Wu and Xie changed their surnames, the widow of the Hu family talked to the dead and insisted that they did not change. ”

My heart moved, and I asked suspiciously: "Then this Yu, Fang, and Hu have anything to do with the Yu, Fang, and Hu Ke in the current Sanjia Village?" ”

Lao Wan took a sip and replied: "During the Yongle period in the early Ming Dynasty, you moved here from Nanjing, this is not a secret in your Sanjia Village, right?" ”

I drank all the wine in the wine glass, laughed and said, "You mean, that precious jade seal, may be in the hands of the three of us now?" ”

"Yes!" Lao Wan replied quietly, but firmly.

"Doesn't that mean that the three of us may be able to come up with an emperor one day?" I asked by biting my tongue so as not to let myself laugh uncontrollably.

Lao Wan didn't say anything, and then peeled peanuts and drank wine.

"I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it?" Before I knew it, I had drunk a lot, and with the wine I drank at noon, my mind slowly drifted up, but my heart was still quite clear.

"According to you, these things are extremely confidential, and none of us who are children and grandchildren know about it, how do you know about it as an outsider?" I asked.

"These things are confidential enough, and if the parties don't say it, outsiders really can't know about it! However, if you think that the parties are only your Yu, Fang, and Hu families, then you are wrong. ”

"Who else is involved?"

Lao Wan did not answer directly, but continued: "When Luoyang was besieged, the head of the Wan family was called Wan Huaixing, who was the envoy of Taining Jie Du and governed Yanzhou. The princes of the Wan family are in the local area, the people are prosperous, and the wealth is abundant, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it is a noble family. ”

"Before the end of the emperor's self-immolation, Wan Huaixing once received a person, to be precise, a eunuch, whose name was Yunxing, and he was the inner government order of the last emperor."

"Yunxing brought the edict of Li Congwen, the successor of the last emperor, and the edict to Wanjia: secretly escort Yu, Fang, and Hu to Xuzhou to pass the decree, and if the three of them misdo on the way, they will be killed!"

I was secretly frightened, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, our three ancestors are loyal, otherwise it will ......"

"It's not just the three of you who are loyal, in order to keep the secret, that eunuch killed himself in front of Wan Huaixing after passing the decree, and died loyally!"

Lao Wan waved his hand and said categorically: "Therefore, the ten thousand families have been guarding your three families from the beginning, guarding the jade seal, living up to the king's order is loyalty, and living up to the trust of friends is righteousness, although it has been more than a thousand years, it will not change until death!" ”

"Since you know this, you should be the descendant of Wan Huaixing?" I asked.

Lao Wan didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

I was stunned: "So, the three of us have been safe and sound, and it is your ten families who have been protecting us, that is the patron saint of our three families?" ”

Lao Wan said gloomily: "I don't dare to do this, this is where the position of ten thousand families lies, regardless of the cost, without asking for returns!" ”

We were silent for two or three minutes, or I couldn't help but break the deadlock: "According to what you mean, this jade seal is still in the hands of the three of us?" ”

"Yes, at least for now!"

"Then which family do you think it will be, the Yu family, the Fang family or the Hu family?"

"I'm talking about the three of you, I'm just saying that the three of you have the information on this! In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, when your ancestors moved east from Nanjing to the current Sanjia Village, they left the jade seal in Nanjing! ”

I wondered, "Why don't you take such a big baby with you, not to mention your mission?" ”

"You know it's a baby, too? What does this baby mean, power, wealth, family and country...... In that environment at that time, the slightest carelessness was a capital crime of clan punishment and beheading! ”

"They've been hiding it for four or five hundred years, and there's an end to it! Therefore, the three families decided to move eastward, but left the jade seal in the capital of the Ming Dynasty to protect the fortunes of the world, although it was not in the hands of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Before the three of you move eastward, inform the Wan family of the decision!"

I asked excitedly, "If someone in the three families knows this information, they can make the jade seal see the light of day again, right?" ”

Lao Wan affirmed: "Theoretically! But we only know that Yuxi stayed in Nanjing, but we don't know who has what information, and we don't know how the three of you are balanced internally. ”

I touched my mouth: "I always thought that the three families were no different from ordinary families, but I didn't expect that there would be such a secret and dangerous experience, and it would have a relationship with a national treasure, which is interesting!" ”

Lao Wan smiled: "I just told a story, don't take it seriously!" It's not early, squint, leave early tomorrow, don't block the Hu family's people inside! ”

At this time, I didn't know how many beers I had drunk, and my brain was already dizzy, so I staggered to the chair I was sitting on, and Lao Wan followed behind and moved a chair and sat down!

I burped and said to Lao Wan: "If you wake up early tomorrow morning, remember to call me, it's not a joke to catch the Hu family!" ”

Lao Wan replied: "Okay! Certain! ”

Before I fell asleep on the table, I couldn't see a smile on the corner of Lao Wan's mouth in a drunken and hazy state.
