"There's a new development on Sun You's side, I'll go now. Lu Sheng gently patted the spider's shoulder, "Inform the brothers and be vigilant." ”

Nanhu Mansion is located in the north of Chuzhou, near the Yangtze River. Before asking Sun You to collect clues about the ghost owner, he didn't expect to coincide with Xianyun and went to the same road.

Xianyun simulated the battle in which Jiang Zhe betrayed his division through tactics, and Xianyun calculated that the reason why Jiang Zhe's final life and death were inconclusive was because he jumped into the river that year.

And along the river, if Jiang Zhe did not die, it was very likely that he would rush to the shallow water section of the river in Nanhu Mansion.

Xian Yun arrived at Nanhu Mansion with the Flying Fox Special Task Force, and it happened that Sun You was also here to collect clues about the ghost owner. As soon as the information between the two was exchanged, a key person was found in just two days.

Only an hour later, Lu Sheng rushed to the scene at full speed, and Sun You and Xianyun were already eager to see through it.

"Your Excellency!"

"Humble to your lord!" the Flying Fox Einsatzgruppen got down on one knee.

"Who is the key person you found?" Lu Sheng asked impatiently after landing on the ground.

"It's a matchmaker, and she's 90 years old this year. All his life, he has been engaged in matchmaking for others. It's strange to say, people are getting older and more confused, but this Li Yazhen's matchmaker is the older she is, the better her brain.

After the age of 80, I began to remember many things that I had forgotten little by little. Up to now, she has signed red lines for many people in her life, and she can tell how many marriages she has completed.

As soon as we inquired about Jiang Zhe, the old woman directly said that it was the guy who was fished out of the river by the third child of the family? Later, as we inquired, we felt that this person was Jiang Zhe.

Xianyun has been to the old house of the Cheng family, and the person who has become a family has long since died, and none of the descendants have left. We inquired with our neighbors and said that we got married and moved to Lingnan to enjoy happiness. But they don't know the specifics. ”

Lu Sheng listened to Sun You's report and followed Sun You to the door of an old mansion.

The house is a typical rural old house style, with three townhouses, a huge courtyard in the middle of the three rows of houses, and an ancient well in the center of the yard. The gap in the house opposite the gate is enclosed with a wall.

Mrs. Li Yazhen seems to be a blessed person, and the yard is full of children who are making trouble. The old lady looked at the great-great-great-grandsons who were running around her happily, and her mouth cracked open with laughter.

Li Yazhen is very old, sitting on a wicker chair basking in the sun. This courtyard should be the largest one in the neighborhood that Lu Sheng has seen. At the door, there were at least three or four generations standing in the courtyard.

This is a large family with dozens of people, and it may not be much money, but the people are definitely thriving.

The arrival of Lu Sheng and others immediately made the family nervous. Fortunately, Xuantian Mansion has a good reputation, and Sun You and they have already been here before, so they didn't show a panicked look.

He just called the crazy children back to the house. An old man with gray hair who looked to be in his seventies and eighties walked slowly on crutches.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here you are, if you have anything to say, please give me a direct command?"

"Old man, you are Li Yazhen's old woman......" Lu Sheng hesitated to look at the old man with old spots in front of him, he was too old to recognize his age.

"She is my mother, we have six brothers, I am the oldest, and I am almost seventy this year. The five older brothers above all went one by one......"

"I have something I want to ask Li Yazhen's mother-in-law, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"

"Convenient, convenient!

"Mother, the Lord of Xuantian Mansion is here, if you have something to ask you, you have to answer honestly!"

"I don't have deaf ears, I can really hear it, stinky boy, get out of the way,......" he said, picking up the cane at hand and waving it at the old man.

Lu Sheng came to the old woman and sat down on the chair handed by Sun You, "Old woman, you said you had seen a person named Jiang Zhe?"

"It's not just that I've seen it, it's his marriage or what my mother-in-law said!"

"When is it?"

"I think about it...... It's been twenty or thirty years...... There had just been a torrential rain that day, and the rain had stopped, and the water in the river had overflowed to the shore.

I was digging wild vegetables with a group of old ladies from the village, and suddenly we saw a man floating in the river. We were all scared to death, so the old ladies of the family were more bold and dragged him ashore.

We wondered whether to report to the official, but the old ladies said that this person's chest was still hot and he might be alive.

I don't know what happened later, but within a few days, there was an extra man in the family. The man's name was Jiang Zhe, and he was a scholar who fell into the river without a father or mother.

After being rescued by the old ladies of the family, she recognized her godmother. Getting married is also hard, in the previous life, people were prosperous, but later men died of illness one after another, and in the end, there were only the old ladies of the family and the old daughters of his family.

After about a year, the old ladies of the family were thinking about letting Jiang Zhe and her daughter get married. So come to me and ask me if this can be done.

If you think about it, if you accept someone else as your godson, how can a brother and sister get married? Isn't this a mess of ethics?

The old woman refused at the beginning, even if I was a matchmaker, I couldn't do such a messy thing, right?

Later, the old ladies of the family talked badly, and I also thought that the family was pitiful, so I finally gave him an idea. Let Jiang Zhe change his name, go to the county government to register as a descendant of a distant relative's family, and have a marriage contract with the daughter of the family since childhood. ”

The old woman spoke very clearly, as if the events of decades ago were still vivid.

"Why do you have to marry your daughter to Jiang Zhe when you get married?

"That's not, there are one after another dead men who have started a family, and there has long been a saying in the local area that a mother and daughter have two grams of men, who dares to come to the door to propose marriage so desperately?

After such a delay, his daughters have not married in their twenties. ”

"Where did Jiang Zhe go?"

"Said that he went to do business, and then he took their mother and daughter away within three years of making a fortune, and decades passed, and they never came back. It seems that the old ladies of the family will not return to their ancestral graves until they die......"

Lu Sheng stood up slowly, his eyes flashing, "Do you remember what year the old woman was born?"

"What year do I remember...... I know that she is five years younger than me, and my wife just turned 90 last year...... If she is still alive, she should be ......," said the old woman, holding out her fingers.

Lu Sheng had already calculated the answer in an instant, eighty-six years old.

Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, he remembered that Lu Xiangyang's mother passed away three years ago, Lu Sheng once curiously asked He Xingzhi about his mother's longevity, three years ago was eighty-three years old.

It can't be so coincidental that the age just right?

Lu Sheng hurriedly turned back to Sun You and shouted, "Sun You, bring me pen, ink and paper." ”

borrowed pen and ink from this family, and Lu Sheng quickly drew a portrait. This is Lu Sheng's drawing based on Lu Xiangyang's current appearance and deducing what he looked like when he was young.

Although I dare not say that it is exactly the same, I dare to guarantee that it is at least eighty percent similar.

Lu Sheng sent the portrait to the old woman, "Mother-in-law, take a look, is this person Jiang Zhe?"

The old woman looked at it for a long time, "After so many years, the appearance is a little blurry." But I look like, Jiang Zhe looks better than you, especially when he is holding a book, our little ladies here look like peach blossoms in their eyes one by one.

We all said that Jiang Zhe would take the top official exam in the future, but I didn't expect to go into business. After all these years......"

After receiving the confirmation, Lu Sheng let out a long sigh of relief. Although Jiang Zhe is Lu Xiangyang, this evidence is far from enough. The words of an old lady over 90 years old can hardly be used as evidence in court.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's mind flashed again.

Three years ago, Lu Xiangyang Ding was worried about filial piety, and if Lu Xiangyang was Jiang Zhe, and Jiang Zhe was the big mouse that Lu Sheng had been looking for, then Lu Xiangyang must not be in the capital but in Chuzhou in the past three years.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng hurriedly stood up, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Sun You had already touched the neighborhood one by one before Lu Sheng came, and under the leadership of Sun You, Lu Sheng came to the old house where he became a family. Although there are still remnants of earthen houses in the old house, they have been uninhabited for too long and have fallen into disrepair.

Nanhu Mansion is also a land with undulating hills and hills intersected by waterways, and there are almost no people within 100 meters of the vicinity.

Lu Sheng inquired about the people around him and asked where the ancestral grave of the old family was. Lu Sheng took Sun You and the others to the ancestral grave of the old family.

If Lu Xiangyang's old mother dies and he is in Chuzhou, then the old mother's burial place can only be the ancestral grave of the old family. Because planning and rectification have not yet begun, the cemetery in Nanhu Province has not been uniformly demarcated. The ancestral graves of every family are not in the same place.

In order to keep the ancestral grave from being disturbed, the ancestral grave is generally located in a sparsely populated and relatively hidden place, and the ancestral grave of the old family is the shade of the hill closest to the home.

Brushing aside the withered grass and thorns, Lu Sheng and the others came to a cemetery behind the hill. The tombstones in the cemetery are like a forest, and there are more than 1,000 graves as far as the eye can see. On top of each mound is a ghostly hill like a model.

And in the innermost part of the cemetery, a huge ghost mountain villa attracts everyone's attention. This ghost hill is very large, and the house alone is more than two meters high. If you look at the proportion of the manor, this ghost mountain villa is more than twenty times that of other ghost mountain villas.

Not to mention the living for the dead, it is more than enough for the living to live.

On the door plate of the Ghost Villa, it is also written that the tomb of the Li family of Chengmen, son, the death of the water to build the Ghost Villa righteousness and filial piety.

Lu Sheng and the others came to the door of the Ghost Villa and gently pushed the door, the door of the Ghost Villa turned out to be a real door, unlike other Ghost Villas, the door was just painted with lacquer.

"My lord, this ghost villa can live directly in people, you say, will this Jiang Zhe be inside?" Sun You asked nervously.

"Jiang Zhe is definitely not in it, I basically already know who that person is, go, let's see if the ghost owner has left any evidence. ”

The furnishings in the Ghost Villa are no different from the real villa, with yards, rockeries, ponds, and wells, but the models of these things are much smaller.

Lu Sheng motioned to Xuantian Mansion to search separately, and Lu Sheng came alone to the tomb bag at the front door of the courtyard, and a gorgeous stone tablet was erected in front of the tomb, on which the life of the deceased was written in great glory.

"Shengde, twelve years, death!" Lu Sheng looked at the last sentence at the end, which really matched the date of Lu Xiangyang Ding Wei.

"Come, my lord!" At this moment, Xianyun's voice remembered from within.
