was trampled on the grave of the ancestor, even if he was a common person, he would fight with people. It was even mentioned that this is the tomb of the ancestors of the family!

Although this is a well-dressed mound, in the eyes of those who stick to the status and dignity of the family, I am afraid that it is more important than the imperial tomb.

So you all ran to the grave of your ancestors for a walk, this is not too deceitful!

The old man with the snow-white beard and hair slapped the chair angrily, and the short and plump man next to his left hand, who was born with a pair of smiles and laughed when he spoke, said again at this time, "Don't be annoyed, big brother, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and now I can only endure it." ”

What else can you do if you can't bear it?

Xu Shiheng is not good, this is targeting their family's accumulation.

They are better than the Li family, and there is no unfilial daughter who covets the wealth of their ancestors; But Tongzhou Mansion is such a big place, it should be close to Tongzhou, and it is suitable for hiding treasures, and there are only a few places.

He guessed that according to Xu Erlang's ability, sooner or later he would be able to find the gold and silver hidden in the clan, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

Another long-faced old man in the secret room, who had never spoken, said at this time, "Don't be annoyed by the eldest brother, and don't say those frustrating words to the third brother." Xu Erlang was able to find the treasury of Lifu because there were thieves leading the way, but he also found the gold and silver in our mansion, which is a bit unusual. Could it be that there are also boys in our village who have other thoughts? ”

The old man with smiling eyes said, "That can't. The accumulation of ancestors is too great, and it involves the foundation of our Sheng family. Except for a few die-hard old servants, who already have two children and grandchildren, the rest of them will never know about it again. ”

"Then how did Xu Erlang come to this place and how did he get to the cemetery? Is it really a whim to come and play? ”

The smiling old man had nothing to say about this, because he also knew that Xu Erlang was not good here, and he definitely didn't come for a walk on a whim. I'm afraid that I really received some news, and I know what is wrong here, so I came to inquire at night.

But who is this person who believes in the past? How did Xu Erlang learn about this? If you can't find out this thing, they won't be able to do it next.

The old man sighed and said, "The top priority now is not to find the inner ghost, not to explore Xu Erlang's sources, but to find those accumulations in our house." ”

These three old men are really the descendants of the Sheng family.

Of course, in Jiangji Village, they don't have the surname Sheng, they have the surname Jiang. And this Jiangji Village, in the final analysis, is full of descendants with the surname Sheng. It's just that this matter has been going on for a long time, and the stakes are very high, and there are only a few people who know about it.

Speaking of the origin of the surname "Sheng" in Jiangji Village, we have to talk about the ancestor who made the Sheng family a family.

That ancestor is not an ordinary person, he is worried that the family will be liquidated sooner or later, and it is inevitable that the children and grandchildren of the family will be folded inside, so he will quietly move out of one to prevent the disaster of destroying the family at some point. Based on the origin of the refugees, this branch settled incognito in the suburbs of Tongzhou, and with the marriage of wives and children, there are many children and grandchildren, forming this Jiangji Village.

When the Sheng family's earlier treasure land had to be abandoned for various reasons and wanted to find a new treasure place, the head of the Sheng family's generation set their sights on the place where Jiangji Village was located.

Jiangji Village is full of children and grandchildren of the Sheng family, and no outsiders have settled down in the past hundred years; Jiangji Village is relatively close to Tongzhou, which is convenient for transportation and convenient for them to supervise. For these two reasons, the new treasure spot was set in Jiangji Village.

But there is also a very real problem in front of us, that is, although Jiangji Village and Sheng Fu are the same ancestor, which ancestor was at the foot of Jiangji Village earlier, and the relationship with the current Sheng family can be said to be very estranged. They can't even say "one person", how can they trust this matter to these people with peace of mind?

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and even their brothers can fight you to the death because of a little family property, how can they rest assured that the wealth accumulated by their ancestors for a hundred years is entrusted to outsiders?

After that, the Sheng family came up with a proper solution, which was to pass the young son of the Sheng family master to the ancestral family in Jiangji Village. In exchange, the ancestor's only son was arranged for a better future, and he went out of the imperial examination. It is also from this time that the heirs of each Jiangji Village chief will be promoted with the help of the Sheng family, and the children and grandchildren born in the Jiangji Village chief's family will be replaced by the descendants of the contemporary Sheng family, so as to ensure the Sheng family's absolute control over Jiangji Village and the right to take care of gold and silver.

There is gold and silver in Jiangji Village, and no one knows about it except for the village chief and a few henchmen. And this term of Jiangji Village is the sibling brother of the contemporary head of the Sheng family. As for the two brothers around him, they are both cousins from the Sheng Mansion.

They have been brainwashed by their families since they were children, and they want to die for their families. But even if they are full of thoughts about being born and dying for the Sheng Mansion, they see the rest of the brothers calling for wind and rain in the state capital under the guise of a family, and they can only cower in the small Jiangji Village, incognito to be an ordinary farmer, this kind of gap is really not something that anyone can bear.

Fortunately, they are farmers on the outside, and they actually enjoy the treatment of the Sheng family's sons-in-law inside, and even because of their efforts, they get far more than the children and grandchildren who stay in the Sheng family.

This somewhat soothed the anger in their hearts, but they were still very persistent in carrying the surname Sheng, walking in the sun openly, and being feared and admired by everyone. They felt in their hearts that they had only worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall and only recorded their names on the family tree, which did not prove that they were the descendants of the Sheng family. Can't let outsiders see their scenery, recognize their identity, can't ride horses and parade the streets like those family sons, travel 3,000 miles at night and sing wildly, accompanied by the daughter of the family and the noble son, just like the brocade clothes at night, let them feel empty and have no confidence. It is said that the more they can't get it, the more obsessed they are with becoming demons, but unfortunately they haven't been given a chance to become demons, and the family went to prison overnight.

The family is full of crimes, and the evil karma committed is heinous, and under the condition that His Majesty is worried about punishment, the family furniture will not escape death.

At this time, these descendants of the family who had never appeared in front of people did not know whether the arrangements made by the ancestors of the family earlier were good or bad.

On the bright side, as long as the matter is not revealed, they will definitely escape. After guarding the wealth of Nuoda, maybe he can make a comeback for his children and grandchildren. At that time, their merits will be immeasurable, and future generations will mention them again, and appoint many words of praise like the sea, and their lives will be worth living.

But if it's bad...... Seeing the family overturn overnight, the Sheng family has changed from a high-ranking family to a sinner who everyone can step on a few feet and scold a few times, that kind of gap is not something that everyone can bear.

At this time, they would rather follow their elders to Huangquan; At this time, it is really hard to live. But they had to live.

The old man with a white beard was born with a ruthless energy, and when he heard his brother ask what to do with the hidden treasure, he smiled fiercely.

This appearance is obviously trying to break the net.

The second child sighed in his heart and said, "Big brother, Xu Shiheng is not an ordinary person, and our methods of dealing with ordinary officials may not work on him." "Besides, they don't have a lot of people to use now, so it's inconvenient to do anything.

The third said, "Are you just waiting?" Xu Shiheng came today to find out, but when he comes next time, he may be digging up corpses and digging graves! ”

What greater humiliation could there be than digging up a corpse and digging up a grave? For a moment, the faces of the three old men were a little distorted.

"It's just that we didn't expect Xu Shiheng to really find here. Careless. If we had known this, we should have secretly transferred the things in the cemetery when he arrived in Tongzhou. Now that it can't, Xu Shiheng designated someone to keep an eye on us. We really have to dig things out, I'm afraid we will make wedding clothes for others. ”

"Who said it couldn't!" The old man with white hair spoke out comfortably.

The other two immediately looked at each other in surprise when they heard this, and a bad feeling welled up in their hearts at the same time. The eldest brother is the most short-tempered, reckless in doing things, and is used to being ruthless. The elders of the family regretted this, and felt that his temperament was a sharp knife, and it was not a problem to open up territory for the Sheng family; Some ancestors are glad that they replaced their eldest brother when they were young, otherwise according to his tyrannical temperament, the family doesn't know how many messes of jewelry to give him.

But now is not the time to talk about this, the other two old men raised their hearts, pinched their throats and asked carefully, "Big brother, what are your arrangements?" You want to ......"

The old man's heart was raised to his throat, and the worry in his heart fell to the bottom after seeing the determined look on the old man's face.

The other old man also thought of something, and the expression on his face changed greatly, "Big brother, that thing can't be touched." If we really use it, we won't be able to escape it. Big brother, we are the only surviving children and grandchildren in the house, and the younger generations still need our guidance and care. ”

The old man with white hair and beard heard the taboo and persuasion of the two, and his face became even more angry, "Haven't you reached the point of desperation yet?" Xu Shiheng can bring someone over to dig up the grave of the ancestor when he sees it. Is it really that there is no way out? Second, third, I don't know what you two think, don't worry, big brother is not so careless. Those few black ammunition are our killer weapon, and my brother won't use them unless necessary. And now, it's time when it's necessary. ”

How to use this explosive, the old man already had a plan in his heart. He aimed directly at the embankment of Yunju Mansion. The Yunju dam intercepts the water coming from the Yujiang River upstream, making the flow of water in Qizhou gentler and softer. If the Yunju dam fails, all the downstream, including Tongzhou, will be affected.

However, Tongzhou Mansion is relatively better, because the terrain is slightly higher than the downstream, and the river will only pour down from here and rush to Minzhou and other places.

In other words, even if Tongzhou is affected, it will not be long, one or two days is enough. Yunzhou and Qizhou in the upper reaches of Tongzhou will also not suffer too much from dam failure, but the Minjiang state capitals in the lower reaches of Tongzhou are different. In particular, the Minjiang River has the lowest terrain, where the river water flows into the sea. During the rainy season every year, some coastal areas will still be submerged and people will be displaced, not to mention the consequences of a large influx of river water, and the whole of Minzhou will become an ocean.

Whether it is Yunzhou, Qizhou, Tongzhou or Minzhou, they all belong to the south of the Yangtze River, and they are all under the jurisdiction of Xu Shiheng, the governor. If the flood really happens, if it becomes bigger, the imperial court may treat Xu Shiheng for a crime of dereliction of duty, and if it is small, the disaster in the state capitals will cause disaster victims and even epidemics. Xu Shiheng just wanted to keep an eye on them, and he was afraid that he would be too busy to take care of himself at that time, and he wouldn't be able to care about it anymore.

The old man explained these considerations, and said, "At that time, taking advantage of the chaos to transfer things is the best policy." ”

This is a good strategy, but once the dam fails, I don't know how many people will die in the flood. They did not kill Beren, but because of them he died. And it can be imagined that there will be countless dead bodies and starvation all over the field, the picture is shocking, and the imagination alone makes their hearts tremble.

But in the end, they didn't say anything, but acquiesced to the big brother's arrangement.

The court officials need to consider the lives and livelihoods of the people, they are the sons of the family, and their interests are consistent with the family. When the interests of the family are contrary to the interests of the imperial court, they have no choice, and their education from an early age makes them only consider in the direction of the interests of the family.

The two old men glanced at each other, "Everything is up to the eldest brother's arrangement." ”

The old man with white hair sent the two brothers away, and then summoned his subordinates to give one or two orders, and at this moment the "only" old servant in the family shouted, "Old lady, it's all at this point, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

The old man with white hair frowned tightly when he heard this, the only thing he did in his life was unsatisfactory, one of them was naturally sent to this Jiangji Village just after birth, from a high-ranking son of a family, while eating the eldest son of a "little-known" small village head; This identity caused the second unsatisfactory in his life, that is, he could not consider high-ranking nobles in marrying a wife...... Not to mention the noble daughters, even the children of ordinary intelligent businessmen, he didn't dare to marry. In the end, he could only obey the family's arrangement and marry a woman from a wealthy family and a decent appearance in the next village where he was "the right person", and it took decades in a blink of an eye.

Her old wife is very childlike, and she gave birth to four sons and two daughters for him one after another, and the first three sons were sent to Sheng Mansion for nephews' sons-in-law; The latter son happened to be a boy of his age in the Sheng Mansion, and the smallpox man was gone, and he had no choice but to say that his son died violently, but in fact, he still sent his son to the Sheng Mansion.

But the old wife didn't know it, and because her sons were not intimate, she missed her son who died early even more.

The old man frowned, and sure enough, he heard the old wife's slurred voice outside, "Today is Shiro's birthday, I'm so old and have a poor memory, and you won't remind me of Chunni, if it weren't for Shiro in my dream to look for me, I would have forgotten that this is my poor child's death day." ”

There are fragmented thoughts that say, "The old man is a ...... of a son who is not uncommon"
