Chapter 281: The Legend of the Predecessor (3)

"Thank you, Miss" The middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground stood up, tried to calm himself down with some excitement, and did not say anything else, but talked about the history of the Mu family in detail. said that it was detailed, but it only started from why Mu Qiuping left Mujiazhai in Shan State and came to Anhui, China. The previous history of the Mu family is very simple, and it also proves that he is very smart and knows what Xue Ru wants to know.

In his narrative, Xue Ru knew that his name was Mu Qing and he was the deputy head of the current Mu family, that is, the second head of the family. If Xue Ru is really Mu Qiuping, he should be regarded as Xue Ru's uncle, but he is just a cousin, and the contemporary temporary head of the family is Mu Xun, who is also Mu Qiuping's uncle.

Mu Ping is the head of Mu Jiazhai, strictly speaking, a descendant of the Mu family, and a close confidant of Mu Qiuping's father Mu Wenyuan, most of what he said with Xue Ru is true, but many of them are false.

The Mu family is indeed the descendant of Mu Ying, who was named the king of Yunnan in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has a history of more than 200 years, and the Mu family hereditarily guards Yunnan. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Mu family was of course loyal to the Ming Dynasty after the establishment of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the children of the family took refuge in the Southern Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty and wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty.

After many years of conquest but the general trend has gone, Wu Sangui conquered Yunnan for the Qing Dynasty, and the Mu family and other Ming loyalists protected the Yongli Emperor and fled into Burma, and at that time the whole family moved to Burma, and accompanied the Yongli Emperor to ask for help from the Burmese king. However, Wu Sangui invaded Burma, and the Burmese king was forced to be frightened by pressure, and handed over the Yongli Emperor and the crown prince to Wu Sangui, so that he was killed in Kunming.

At that time, Mu Jiannan, the head of the Mu family in Yunnan, scattered all his wealth to seek intercession from the Burmese minister, and the whole family, young and old, and some of the clansmen entered the deep mountains of Myitkyina in Shan State to survive, and it has continued. It was 1671, and for more than 200 years, the descendants of the Mu family had never set foot in the Central Plains or entered China again. They have developed there for more than 200 years, and with the industrious wisdom of the Chinese and the unity of the family, they have developed rapidly, and the number of family members has increased to more than 300 people, and a large amount of property has been gathered.

The British captured Burma, coveted the wealth of the Mu family Chinese, and used various methods to seize it, and the Mu family were forced to move away from their original places and enter the Shan State Plateau, where they established cottages in Qingfeng Mountain.

However, the local Shan people also can't tolerate this foreign group, especially the outside world is rumored that the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty left a large number of treasures to the Mu family, and some say that the Mu family embezzled this batch of property to keep it from being handed over by the King of Burma, and some say that the Mu family betrayed the Yongli Emperor, and Wu Sangui invaded Myanmar for this astronomical wealth.

People within the Mu family also think that there is, and it is said that this money is prepared for the restoration of sight, so all the forces of all parties are staring at the people of the Mu family. People in China are even more watching, so the Mu family, who are in a difficult situation in Myanmar, do not dare to return to China.

Until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the talents of the Mu family secretly dispersed into Guangxi and Yunnan. But there are also many rumors spread in the local area, so that the people of the Mu family dare not make it public. No one knows how Di Menglun, the largest tribal leader in Qingfeng Mountain, talked to the head of the family, but the Mu family has not been driven away, and they have also been protected by Di Menglun. The Mu family has survived in Qingfeng Mountain for nearly a hundred years, and the Mu family village has gathered Chinese who have fled from the country, and has developed into a village and town with thousands of people.

Five years ago, Di Menglun's son Hawangshanang saw Mu Qiuping, liked her at that time, and sent someone to propose marriage, but Mu Qiuping resolutely disagreed. Because Hawangshanang is a hooligan and a villain, in his thirties, relying on the status of his family to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, there are dozens of women in the family, how could Mu Wenyuan, as the new head of the family, agree.

But the Mu family couldn't resist the power of the Dylan family, and at this time, Mu Wenyuan and his wife were killed, and the Mu family fell into crisis for a while. Either hand over Mu Qiuping, or all of them will be killed, Mu Xun, who took over as the head of the family, agreed, and agreed to marry Hawangshanang when Mu Qiuping was sixteen years old.

But Li Zhongxin, who was loyal to the Mu family, assisted Mu Qiuping to escape and sent her to China to hide with friends. Mu Xun had to send someone to find him for the lives of the whole clan, and finally found Mu Qiuping. said that she was in Hefei, Anhui Province, and originally wanted to take her back, but Mu Qiuping hid from Cai Bingyan, the commander of the 301st Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, a senior general of the army at that time. The people of the Mu family didn't dare to move lightly, because Mu Qiuping, who was the maid of the Cai family at the time, was very good with General Cai's daughter Cai Mulan, and they were like sisters.

At that time, it was Mu Ping who came to pick up people, Li Zhongxin brought the letter back before he died, and asked Mu Ping to take care of Mu Qiuping. But then Mu Qiuping disappeared, and it took a long time for Mu Ping to find Xue Ru in Chao County. From the bottom of his heart, Mu Ping didn't want to take Mu Qiuping back, but Hawang Shanang never forgot Mu Qiuping over the years. Besides, he didn't know where he heard about it, let the Mu family hand over the wealth of Qianming, and if he didn't hand it over, he would marry Mu Qiuping to him, otherwise he would kill thousands of people in the Mu family.

The Mu family also has some strength, but they can't fight against the Dylan family, which has an army and is supported by the British, not to mention that they are local lords, and the Dylan family has the support of the British Earl Begali, and can dispatch the British army in Burma. So for the sake of the survival of the family, Mu Ping had to find a way to trick Xue Ru back.

When he found Xue Ru, it was no longer the strength of the Mu family that could move Xue Ru, and Mu Ping promised Li Zhongxin to take care of Mu Qiuping, and he didn't want her to marry Hawangshanang. But the lives of thousands of people in the entire family made him in a dilemma, and when Xue Ru promised to go back in three years, Mu Ping believed that with Xue Ru's current strength, he should be able to fight against the Dylan family in three years, so he said so.

But as time passed, Xue Ru had no intention of going back. But the Dylan family is getting tighter and tighter, more than two years have passed, and Mu Qiuping is eighteen years old according to the original agreement, so Hawang Shanang no longer waits. What made things worse the most was that a jade mine was found in the territory of Mujiazhai, which made Hawangshan want to take it for himself, and proposed that if Mu Qiuping didn't marry him for another year, then he would send troops to destroy the Mu family.

It was for these reasons that Mu Xun and Mu Qing came up with this strategy after research, brought people to Yuebei, and used such means to get Xue Ru here. Tell the actual situation, since Mu Qiuping is a descendant of the Mu family, she has the obligation to make sacrifices for the family, and if you don't agree, you have to take her back.

However, Xue Ru's threat made Mu Qing realize that if he used strong means, he would be able to escape the blow of the Dylan family, but he would be destroyed by the snow fox, so he had to tell the truth and ask Xue Ru to save the entire family.

After Mu Qing finished speaking, Xue Ru was also shocked when he heard it. I didn't expect the predecessor I occupied to be so legendary, it's really a wonderful TV series. With Xue Ru's current strength, he would not take a small Dylan family in his eyes at all, but he must be more cautious when it involves the United Kingdom. The Japanese army pressed the border, the situation in northern Vietnam was also unstable, and Snow Fox also had internal problems, so he had no strength to meddle in the affairs of the Mu family in Myanmar at this time. Besides, Mu Qing also had a lot of things that he didn't say in detail, at least he didn't tell the truth, so although Xue Ru was shocked, he couldn't see anything on his face.

Seeing Mu Qing looking at herself, Xue Ru said: "Mr. Mu Qing, I appreciate your story very much, and it can also be said to be very exciting, but I regret to tell you that I am not the Mu Qiuping you are looking for." I am Xue Ru, and it is a coincidence that I look very similar to your Miss Mu Qiuping, you should know that this world is very big and has a large population, and it is not for nothing that two people who look alike have unexpected coincidental experiences. ”

Seeing that Mu Qing wanted to speak, he waved his hand to stop him and said: "Don't say other reasons, you should know who your Mu Qiuping is, she can't give me this knowledge, although I can't remember what happened to me before, but I can be sure that I am not the person you are looking for." ”

Mu Qing also felt this way, because Mu Qiuping was only thirteen years old when he left Mu Mu's village, and he had changed a lot in the past few years, and the eighteenth female college had changed, and he couldn't be sure of the problem of appearance, but one thing was certain, with the record created by Snow Fox Xue Ru, it was impossible to learn these skills in just four years, and it may really look alike.

It was also one of his plans to arrest Xue Ru and send him back to the errand and block the excuse of Hawangshanang. Seeing the determined look in his eyes, Xue Ru said: "Mu Qing, don't have any ideas, I know your plans, I am Mu Qiuping, you plan to sacrifice me, I am not you, you also plan to arrest me to save the Mu family's crisis, this is right?" But you haven't thought about it, can you dodge the attack of the Dylan family, can you dodge the attack of the snow fox? One thing you know very well, don't think that the Dylan family has the support of the British, I tell you that I don't even care about the Japanese, I'm not afraid, the little Dylan's family is not in the eyes of the snow fox, even the British are counted, he will not go to war with the snow fox because of a Burmese family. I'm not a family, I'm a country, I'm a government, I'm an army, it's not something you can compete with. ”

Mu Qing sat down, his face pale. They thought things too simply, thinking that as long as Xue Ru was caught, whether she was Mu Qiuping or not, they could solve the problem. It turned out that Mu Ping said that Xue Ru had the appearance of a young lady, which was extremely beautiful, as long as she brought it back, Hawang Shanang would be satisfied, whether she was or not, it didn't matter.

When Mu Qing saw Xue Ru, he could be sure that there was no problem, but they all forgot that the powerful forces behind Xue Ru were not something they could afford to fight against. At this time, disappointment, discouragement and frustration hit him and lost the courage to live. The Mu family's foundation for hundreds of years, thousands of clansmen, what should they do? Do you abandon everything and run away with your family?

Xue Ru said: "Mu Qing I know you still haven't said, let me tell you, although I am not Mu Qiuping, but you are the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and Chinese, you only need to answer me a few questions, I can help the Mu family get out of the crisis, I can also say to help you save the Mu family." ”

At this time, Mu Qing had no choice but to whisper: "Please ask Miss Xue!" I'll tell you them all. ”

Xue Ru asked: "The first question, is there any wealth left by Qianming?" ”

Mu Qing was shocked, sure enough, this is the problem, it seems that everyone is the same, Xue Ru's reputation is outside, and he is greedy for money. It was because she needed money that Mu Ping came up with such a note, saying that the Mu family had 30 million assets for Xue Ru to go back to inherit, and sure enough, she was also worried about the former Ming property. He hesitated and said, "I said no, do you believe it?" ”

There was a sneer at the corner of Xue Ru's mouth: "Mu Qing, you have to be clear, people die for money, birds die for food, and the Mu family doesn't dare to touch that money at all, because you can't afford it." Wealth is not exposed, with the strength of the Mu family, if you really get rich overnight, you will soon be destroyed, and the death of Mu Wenyuan and his wife is an example, so you'd better tell the truth. ”

Mu Qing said for a long time: "That is the money left to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family has ancestral training that can only be used to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and later the head of the family saw that there was no hope, so he hid the money, just leaving a treasure map in the hands of the head of the family." But the Mu family has been looking for several generations, but they haven't found it, if there is that money, are the Mu family still afraid of the people of the Dylan family? ”

Xue Ru believed this statement. Indeed, if the Mu family had amazing wealth, they might have already controlled Myanmar, would they still be afraid of a small family? However, after making sure that this money was really there, he said: "It seems that the Mu family is determined not to leave Qingfeng Mountain or Myanmar, because they don't want to give up this money, right?" ”

Mu Qing's face turned red. Xue Ru had already asked Mu Ping, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and now it is the Republic of China, why the people of the Mu family did not move back to China. At that time, Mu Ping said that the Mu family industry was in Myanmar, and it would not be possible to go at all, and it would not be possible to go for hundreds of years. But now that Xue Ru immediately judged the real reason why the Mu family didn't leave, he was a little ashamed.

Xue Ru said: "Mu Qing, you are really selfish enough, for the sake of money, you put thousands of people in Mujiazhai in danger, where is your conscience?" ”

Mu Qing was speechless. Xue Ru said: "One more thing, I'm afraid that what Hawang Shanang is not to fall in love with Mu Qiuping's beauty, how beautiful can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child be, he is a person in his thirties, he will not see him for several years and still remember?" I'm afraid he's for the Mu family's treasure map, right? It seems that you are planning to sacrifice Mu Qiuping, that is, sacrifice me in exchange for time, right? ”

Mu Qing was even more speechless, the person in front of him was definitely not Mu Qiuping, and their young lady didn't have this brain. It's really a vixen, and you can understand it when you think about it. For Xue Ru to guess their plan, he was really speechless.

Xue Ru said: "Second question, who is your person in the Snow Fox Army?" ”

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment and just wanted to shake his head to deny it, Xue Ru said: "Don't deny it, if it weren't for your people, you would have mastered my whereabouts so clearly, in the past two years, I'm afraid you have been spying on me all the time, right?" Tell the truth, tell me all that is hidden, and I may help you, otherwise you will hold on to the money that you cannot see and cannot get, waiting to perish. ”

Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Can you really help us?" ”

Xue Ru nodded: "Not bad, you are Chinese after all, I can't help the Burmese, the British, even if I don't have that wealth, I will help you, but the premise is that you must be honest with me." ”

Mu Qing said: "Okay, I have two conditions, if I can promise it, I will tell you all of them." ”

Xue Ru snorted coldly: "Mu Qing, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me, but I am not a ruthless and unrighteous person, so let's talk about your conditions, don't go too far." ”

Mu Qing said: "First of all, please don't hold these people accountable, they didn't do anything to harm the snow fox, they just reported your situation to the family." The second condition, I can donate the treasure map, but you have to move the people of the Mu family into the northern region of Vietnam to protect it, so that the Mu family can survive. ”

Xue Ru didn't expect him to be able to put forward such two conditions, in fact, Xue Ru was not worried at all, the Mu family had developed for hundreds of years, and its power would not be small, otherwise a local lord would not have the support of the British army. If they are in a hurry, they will really take risks, they are really dangerous, after all, they are alone in the hands of others, and there are twenty or thirty people here. Xue Ru still cherished his life, so he nodded and said, "I promise you, then you can say it!" ”
