When the subordinate dug up the slate, he could no longer dig it because of the slate.

When he saw the layer of slate, as well as the layer of lines looming on the slate, Zhang Fuzhi knew that this layer of slate was not simple, maybe there was some secret hidden, but he couldn't understand it, so he decided to go home to check what his father left behind, and see if he could find out something.

Zhang Fuzhi returned home and investigated all the relics left by his father, but found nothing related to the written record, nor did any objects related to the land.

What's going on in that ground? What does that slate represent? Zhang Fuzhi fell into doubt, depressed he strolled, and when he walked to the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, he suddenly realized one thing, that is, the genealogy of the Zhang family.

Unlike other genealogies, the Zhang family tree is divided into two volumes, one of which records the names of each generation of the family, while the other records the memorabilia of each generation in detail.

Zhang Fuzhi flipped through the genealogy in the ancestral hall and found that the Zhang family had owned the land since the Zhang family left the page of the family tree, that is, when the Zhang family came to Yongcheng in the early Qing Dynasty, and it had belonged to their Zhang family for more than 200 years.

For two hundred years, each generation of the Zhang family's owners has made it clear that this land must not be sold, no matter what happens.

Only then did Zhang Fuzhi understand why before his father passed away, he repeatedly told him not to move the land.

But after reading the genealogy, I didn't find any other records and records of that land, which made Zhang Fuzhi feel even more strange, but it was written that once the Zhang family was in trouble, that land would naturally save the Zhang family from danger.

Speaking of this, Zhang Fuzhi remembered that his father had told him two things when he was a child, the first thing was that the ancestor of the Zhang family had been framed during the Kangxi period, and the Zhang family had almost taken out all the family property to survive the crisis.

The second time was during the Jiaqing period, because of a corruption case, Zhang's family was almost raided, and it took a lot of gold and silver to save his life.

But these two disasters were enough to bankrupt the Zhang family, but the Zhang family recovered in less than five years?

At that time, Zhang Fuzhi had also followed his father in business for several years, and knew that this money was not so easy to make, unless you were a business leader in a certain place, you could only drink soup with a piece of soup. So far, the status of the Zhang family in Yongcheng is just passable, how did the ancestors turn over in just five years?

The most important thing is that if the ancestors were really talented and intelligent, since they could turn over in just five years, then within 20 years, the Zhang family would have already become a commercial tyrant in Yongcheng, not to mention today's status?

But because other affairs at home were too cumbersome, Zhang Fuzhi couldn't focus on that piece of land anymore, so he had to give up for the time being.

A few years later, because of the Xinhai Revolution, the Zhang family also lost a lot of money because of the failure of the investment, forcing Zhang Fuzhi to hang himself.

So, Zhang Fuzhi and Zhang Fu took a few subordinates who chose to stay in Zhang's house even if they were at the end of the road, rushed to the land overnight, and tried their best to pry open the layer of stone slabs, wanting to know what was underneath.

When they pried open one of the stone slabs, they found that there was a large hall without a roof hidden underneath, and the hall was full of all kinds of gold objects.

"Golden ...... Gold? Zhang Fu looked at the gold objects below, and his tongue was curled, "Old, master, yes, yes, it's gold, gold." ”

Zhang Fuzhi squatted down and watched, and immediately asked someone to put himself down with a rope, and after checking it, he found that it was really all gold, and it was all pure gold!

Zhang Fuzhi finally understood why his ancestors could turn over in a period of time, and within five years.

Because even if you can turn over in an instant, you can't do that, because it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

Zhang Fuzhi took away some of the gold utensils, re-covered the stone slabs, sealed them with earth, and then returned home with Zhang Fu and his subordinates.

This night, Zhang Fuzhi did not sleep well, not because of excitement, but because of worry.

What if this gets out? Now that the world is in turmoil, with his current status, some people covet this batch of gold artifacts, and they can only watch it being snatched away, so the top priority is to keep it secret.

That is, to get rid of those who know about it.

So Zhang Fuzhi secretly ordered Zhang Fu to entertain the subordinates who helped him yesterday at Zhang's house, poison them all, and then throw their bodies into the sea late at night.

That was the first time Zhang Fuzhi ordered to kill, and then he thought of the servants who had helped him dig the land, some had left, and some were still in Zhang's house, and after drawing up a list, he asked Zhang Fu to hire killers on the rivers and lakes to kill them one by one.

It was that year that Zhang Fuzhi ordered to kill twenty-one people in a row, and then he continued to live his seemingly life-worse life, waiting quietly for two years, and within two years he found that the news had not leaked, so he began to sell gold and regain his strength.

After those two years, Zhang Fuzhi also understood one thing, that is, being a conscientious Confucian businessman has no good end, he needs kindness on the surface and ruthlessness in secret.

Since then, Zhang Fuzhi has completely changed, and the Zhang family has become the richest family in Yongcheng in the past ten years, and has won over the Jiang family and the Li family to form an alliance, known to the outside world as the three families of Yongcheng.

But that piece of land has always been the most worrying thing in Zhang Fuzhi's heart, so when he knew that Li Songming was going to set up a factory, he immediately sold it to Li Songming at a cheap price, but on the condition that he would undertake everything in the textile factory, so that no one would notice the Zhang family's wasteland.

But after many years, this kind of thing happened, and Zhang Fuzhi had to take risks again.

●

Li Songming almost ran to the Eight Kings Courtyard in one breath, this time he no longer climbed the wall, but kept knocking on the door, and after the courtyard opened the door impatiently, Li Songming broke in directly, saying that he was looking for Special Envoy Ye.

At this time, An Wanghai did not fall asleep, still sitting there drinking tea and smoking and thinking about his plan, he needed to perform every step in his mind again, so as to achieve a ninety percent chance of not failing.

Therefore, when Li Songming knocked on the courtyard door, An Wanghai was very surprised, and personally went to open the door and let Wan Xiangrong, who opened the courtyard door, go to rest.

Wan Xiangrong saw Li Songming visiting late at night, I don't know why, but now he and his brother Wan Xianggui are very conflicted, on the one hand, they were sent by Zhang Fuzhi to monitor An Wanghai, and on the other hand, An Wanghai also had a way to counter them, so during this period of time, their report to Zhang Fuzhi was nothing special.

After Li Songming walked into An Wanghai's room, he opened the door and looked to the side, for fear that the two servants would come to eavesdrop, and then pulled An Wanghai to the corner and told him everything he had seen before.

An Wanghai was also very surprised when he heard this: "Gold? He hid his gold under the textile mill? ”

Li Songming nodded again and again: "I can see it clearly with a clairglass at a high place, it is definitely gold, it is really gold, there are all in the box, a total of twenty boxes." ”

An Wanghai sat down slowly: "No wonder he is so nervous, now he understands." ”

An Wanghai is just not sure, what does this gold have to do with the dungeon? Or Zhang Fuzhi's savings from his early years?

No, it's not the savings, he won't risk the savings to hide there, then those gold artifacts must have something to do with the dungeon.

An Wanghai recalled the previous conversation with Zhang Fuzhi, Zhang Fuzhi was very nervous, but if Zhang Fuzhi knew about the dungeon, with his character, he would have sent someone to investigate, right? Why hasn't there been any movement for so many years?

An Wanghai asked: "Boss Li, let me ask you, who did you buy that piece of land from?" ”

Li Songming said: "This is the problem, that piece of land used to belong to the Zhang family, when I set up a factory, it was Zhang Fuzhi who sold it to me at a reduced price, and I was grateful to him at the time, but I didn't expect that he hid gold there." ”

An Wanghai said: "It seems that the underground is not so simple. ”

Li Songming said: "As far as I know, that piece of land has belonged to the Zhang family since the early Qing Dynasty, and it has been abandoned for hundreds of years, except for planting some corn. ”

An Wanghai was surprised: "Corn? ”

Li Songming said: "Yes, my father used to say that the Zhang family would do things, and the corn harvest was distributed to the surrounding people, so the Zhang family's reputation over the years was really good, and it was not until Zhang Fuzhi's family sold the land to me that the Zhang family changed to other ways to help the poor." ”

An Wanghai thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be diverting attention." ”

Li Songming said: "It seems that there is really a treasure in that underground!" ”

An Wanghai thought for a while and said: "Don't make a noise about this matter, you go back first, when nothing happens, remember, don't make a noise, if someone asks why you came to me in a hurry tonight, you say that there is a business matter to discuss with me, if Zhang Fuyi asks again, you say, you think about it and think that I can't take out 150,000, so come and ask me if this money was given by Zhang Fuzhi, understand?" ”

Li Songming nodded: "I understand." ”

An Wanghai said: "That's good, go back quickly." ”

Li Songming was just about to leave, when he stopped and asked, "Special Envoy Ye, then I'll leave the factory there?" ”

An Wanghai said: "You have to pretend to be confused now, Zhang Fuzhi must know that you already know the origin of the 150,000, otherwise he will not let his people go to the factory to clean up the ruins, but you have to pretend to be stupid, as if you have lost your memory, in the end, you don't have any savings and strength to restore the textile factory now, then take care of the rest of the industry first, save your net worth, and other things, wait until everything stabilizes, in addition, after a few days, you go to the Yongcheng Police Station to report the case." ”

After speaking, An Wanghai motioned for Li Songming to step forward, and after whispering a few words, Li Songming nodded vigorously.

After Li Songming left, An Wanghai did not go back to the room immediately, but stood in the courtyard and looked at the servant's room, he knew that the servant was also peeking at him at this time, if these two people were weak-hearted, the lights would be extinguished soon.

Not surprisingly, it quickly went dark in the servant's room.

The Wan brothers didn't say anything to Zhang Fuzhi these days because of their own threats, but they would definitely tell the truth about Li Songming's coming to him today.

Just yesterday, An Wanghai had already sent a telegram to Fengtian, claiming that the arms deal had been negotiated, and that Zhang Fuzhi would personally send a ship to receive the arms according to the original plan, and that the ship would also receive the money.

At the same time, An Wanghai also sent a telegram to Shuntianfu, because the Hundred Ghost Banquet also needs a cook with excellent skills and will not reveal secrets, and he has only one candidate, that is, Zhang Zhiwu, who he had just rescued before coming to Yongcheng.
