Time flies quickly, six days have passed since Lao Zheng's birthday, everything is calm as usual, the shadow of the curse has dissipated, and Lao Zheng is a lot more relaxed. received a call from Lin Jianguo in the morning, and there was a small party in the evening, and Lao Zheng took Han Wei, Li Hua, and Liu Shi to the appointment together. This time, I took everyone with me because Lin Jianguo also made an appointment with other people, who were the descendants of the white flag he said at the beginning, and there was a legend in the family that had some connection with the pagoda.

The party was in a private club, Lin Jianguo and a middle-aged man were waiting at the door, and after a brief greeting, he knew that the middle-aged man was the person he wanted to see this time, named Shu Yi. Han Wei's first feeling when he saw Shu Yi was a little disliked, it was an intuition, although the other party was smiling and looking very enthusiastic, but in Han Wei's eyes, Shu Yi had an indescribable hypocrisy. The feeling in his heart, Han Wei would not show it, and his face was very calm. The group entered the private room, except for Han Wei and the four of them, only Lin Jianguo and Shu Yi seemed to be specially meeting.

Before sitting down, Shu Yi first introduced himself, since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus have changed their Chinese names, Shu Yi's ancestor is Jue Luo, and the surname Shu is a branch of Jue Luo. And Shu Yi's ancestor is the ninth leader of the third staff of the Manchurian Metropolitan Command of the Zhengbai Banner, passed down from generation to generation, and in the Tongzhi years, he became the absolute confidant of the Empress Dowager Cixi. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and soon after Guangxu ascended the throne, Jue Luo's Shu Yi vein angered Long Yan, and Shu Yi's ancestors and nearly 200 soldiers and generals under his command were all beheaded.

Angering Long Yan is just a statement to the outside world, Shu Yi knew from the records stolen by his ancestors that at the same time, several leaders and generals were beheaded, all of which angered Long Yan, as for what the reason, no one knows. In the records left by the ancestors, it is vaguely proposed that he was responsible for the construction of a pagoda in the implementation of the things assigned by the Empress Dowager Cixi, but in the historical records, this pagoda never existed. If Cixi wants to build something, it is definitely a matter of one sentence, and no one can stop it, just like building the Old Summer Palace with military spending. And there is no need to send an army with a white flag at all, the Eight Banners Army is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the white flag is one of the top three flags, and it is the top priority.

One more telling point is that all the beheaded people did not even have corpses, and no one had ever seen where the execution was carried out. Shu Yi's grandfather secretly checked, and several other clansmen who led the clan did not receive the corpses, and everyone was banned, and Grandpa Shu Yi smelled the smell of conspiracy, and in order to keep the blood of the clansmen, he did not dare to investigate deeply. Just in case, even the records left by the ancestors were burned, but they were passed on by word of mouth, and finally passed on to Shu Yi's generation.

In Shu Yi's opinion, the person who was beheaded should have disappeared, and as for why he disappeared, it must be related to the pagoda built. Time has passed, and it is almost impossible to find clues. Many people in the Shu Yi clan have only been passed down as a legend, and Shu Yi was also skeptical until he got the news from Lin Jianguo, which was the holy decree taken out by Lao Zheng, and the pagoda described.

After listening to Shu Yi's narration, Han Wei and the four of them were a little disappointed, and originally wanted to get some clues from him, but in the end it only proved that the pagoda had a relationship with the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Can you show me the decree?" Shu Yi looked at Lao Zheng expectantly, with anticipation and pleading in his eyes.

Before Lao Zheng came, he brought the holy decree with him, and since he brought it, he didn't think about hiding it, Shu Yi brought it up, Lao Zheng didn't hesitate, took the holy decree out of his bag and handed it over. Although I didn't get any new clues this time, I still determined that the pagoda was built by the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Shu Yi took the holy decree, his hands trembled slightly, maybe he was too excited, a family that has been passed down for a hundred years, suddenly had a clue, and it was normal for his heart to be excited. I saw Shu Yi slowly open the holy decree, gently stroked it, looked at it very carefully, almost pasted it on the holy decree, and did not let go of every detail.

Han Wei didn't pay too much attention to Shu Yi, his own intuition was a little disgusted, where would he pay too much attention, but when Shu Yi looked at the holy decree, it attracted Han Wei's attention. Shu Yi's eyes lit up several times, revealing something unusual, as if he had discovered something, but he never spoke, what it was, only he knew. After a while, Shu Yi's expression changed, as if he was pondering something, and he recovered after only a short time, and Han Wei thought it was an illusion. The more this is the case, the more Han Wei pays attention to Shu Yi, I don't know if he has been staring at it for too long, Shu Yi has noticed it, and his expression has never changed.

"Brother Shu, what did you find?"

After more than half an hour, Shu Yi read the holy decree, and when Shu Yi finished reading the holy decree, Liu Shi suddenly spoke. Liu Shi is usually very silent, especially for strangers, it is difficult to take the initiative to speak, but once he speaks, there must be deep meaning, Han Wei has some doubts in his heart, but he will not ask now.

I saw Shu Yi's look of surprise, and then he came back to his senses and said, "I didn't find anything, but I was too absorbed just now, which made everyone laugh." ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he just smiled, didn't ask anything more, and just silently put the holy decree back in his bag. Although Shu Yi's expression looked normal, he kept staring at the bag containing the holy decree, which showed that he attached great importance to the holy decree, could it be that Shu Yi still had something to hide?

Lin Jianguo, who had been silent at this time, spoke, and said: "We've been chatting for so long, let's have a drink first, Shu Yi is rare to come over, Brother Zheng is also a dragon, and it is fate to be able to get together today." ”

Han Wei was only drunk last night, and now he wants to vomit when he smells the wine, but he just takes a small sip and puts the wine glass down. Lin Jianguo and Shu Yi are very bold, they drank it all, Lao Zheng and Li Hua here are not ambiguous, the same cup bottoms out, but it is Liu Shi, who has a good amount of wine, and Han Wei, just take a sip. For Han Wei and Liu Shi, they just took a sip, Lin Jianguo and Shu Yi didn't say anything, and it was enough to have Lao Zheng and the three of them to drink together.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became strong, suddenly, Shu Yi took the wine, first bowed to Lao Zheng, very respectful, and said: "Big brother, the younger brother has a reluctant request, the holy decree and the ancestors are inextricably linked, a hundred years have passed, but the ancestors can not forget, for our family, it is of great significance, I hope the eldest brother can give me the holy decree, in terms of price, please ask the eldest brother to make a price casually, as long as I Shu Yi gives it, I will never bargain." ”

When Shu Yi spoke, his body shook a little, as if he was drunk. Just really drunk? Or open your mouth with the will of wine, to buy the holy decree. Thinking of Shu Yi's expression when he looked at the Holy Decree before, Han Wei had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, the fundamental purpose of this dinner was only for the Holy Decree. The prelude is so long, and now it has only entered the main topic, Han Wei cheered up and paid attention to the movements around him, not because he was afraid that Shu Yi would rob him, but because he wanted to know what Shu Yi was trying to do, it would never be as simple as he said.

Lao Zheng's body was also shaking, and he hiccuped a few times, and after listening to Shu Yi's words, he replied after a while: "Brother, don't be so polite, if the holy decree is mine, you can give it to your brother, but to tell you the truth, the holy decree is not mine at all, it was taken by a friend, this is his treasure, I don't dare to call the shots." ”

At this time, Lao Zheng looked like he was drunk, and his speech was intermittent, if it wasn't for Han Wei stepping forward to support him, I am afraid that he would have fallen down long ago. Han Wei knew how much Lao Zheng had drunk, and how much he had drunk, so he could never be drunk, and he must have also discovered that something was wrong with Shu Yi. Lao Zheng pretended to be drunk, Han Wei naturally knew how to cooperate, shouting and pouring water, all for Shu Yi to see.

"Since it's not the eldest brother's thing, the younger brother doesn't force it, I just hope that the eldest brother will help introduce him." A trace of gloom flashed on Shu Yi's face, and it was fleeting, at least Han Wei didn't notice it.

However, there is also Liu Shi on the side, Liu Shi has a sensitivity that ordinary people do not have, and the changes in Shu Yi's expression have been captured by him. Liu Shi didn't speak, just sat quietly on the side, quietly watching everything, as if he hadn't found anything.

Lao Zheng didn't reply, because he was already drunk, Han Wei helped him lean back in the chair, talking nonsense in his mouth, and he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. On the other side, Lin Jianguo was also drunk, lying on the chair and already asleep. What role did Lin Jianguo play in this matter? Is it just the initiator of the dinner, or is there something else to trade in?

"I'm sorry, Lao Zheng and Brother Hua can't drink much, it's too late now, let's go first." Liu Shi spoke for the second time, although he was polite, he couldn't refuse, and immediately picked up Li Hua and walked to the door. Seeing this, Han Wei helped Lao Zheng to follow, not giving Shu Yi a chance to speak at all.

Out of the clubhouse, Shu Yi didn't catch up, didn't hesitate, the four of them immediately got into the car, and Han Wei drove it, which was proposed by Liu Shi. Han Wei watched through the rearview mirror, no car followed, and after driving for about a few hundred meters, the "drunk" Lao Zheng and Li Hua both woke up.

"What do you think?" Lao Zheng's eyes are sharp and his consciousness is very sober, it can be seen that he is like what he pretended just now, and he is definitely a master of acting.

Although Lao Zheng didn't mention what it was, Han Wei, Li Hua, and Liu Shi all knew what they were talking about, and Li Hua spoke first, saying: "What Shu Yi said is half-true, let us come this time, it should be premeditated, I believe that we will not give up easily, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they will always show their feet." ”

"Even if Shu Yi is not premeditated, there must be something he knows that he has not said, and along this line, he may be able to find new clues." After Liu Shi finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said, "Just stop next to it, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Liu Shi scout, tracking is naturally also a good hand, he must have had this plan a long time ago, otherwise he would not have asked Han Wei to drive. Han Wei knew Liu Shi's level, and immediately pulled over, Liu Shi pulled up his collar and left by the night, instantly becoming a lot of rickets, even if he was familiar with people, he would not recognize him from behind for a while. didn't wait for Liu Shi, tracking was not a matter of a while, and the car drove directly to the villa.
