Chapter 3: The ThunderClan's Ancestral Home
Wang's house, the courtyard is deep, and the winding path is secluded.
In the deepest part of the courtyard, there is a huge rockery with a hole in the mountain.
The glow in the cave is brilliant and dense.
An old man with crane hair was sitting cross-legged in the artificial cave, breathing in the glow of the sun, and he was extremely comfortable.
Wang Changsheng, the head of the Wang family, was respectfully waiting under the rockery until the old man Hefa finished vomiting and opened his eyes.
Wang Changsheng hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Great-grandson Wang Changsheng, I have seen the ancestor!
The old man crane didn't raise his eyes or move, and said lightly: "In a few days, it will be a hundred years for my Wang family to rent this house." ”
"Yes. Wang Changsheng immediately guessed the ancestor's thoughts: "Please rest assured, the ancestor is ......."
"Don't worry?" The ancestor of the Wang family smiled coldly: "I heard that a few days ago, a child of the Thunder Clan came to the door. I was in retreat at the time, and I didn't pay attention to it, and I thought you should know how to deal with it, but alas, you let me down so much. ”
Wang Changsheng sent the Thunder Clan kid away by himself, did he do something wrong?
"The great-grandson is puzzled......"
"If you don't understand, you should ask! This house is very important, how can you allow you to make your own decisions?!"
The old ancestor was so frightened that Wang Changsheng knelt on the ground with a plop: "The great-grandson knows that he is wrong, and he asks the ancestor to teach him!"
Seeing that he admitted his mistake, the ancestor of the Wang family softened slightly: "Do you know the origin of this house?"
"This mansion is the ancestral residence of the Thunder Clan built by His Majesty the Thunder Emperor of the Heavenly Thunder God Kingdom thousands of years ago...... I heard that not only is the feng shui against the sky, but the tiger is far from the dragon, which can ensure the prosperity of future generations, and there are countless mysteries hidden in the house. Later, the ancestor made a bet with the Lei family, and it had to be rented for a hundred years. Wang Changsheng was sweating profusely.
"Hehe, the theory of feng shui is ethereal after all, saying that it can ensure the prosperity of future generations, but the descendants of the thunder clan are really not good. The old ancestor said lightly: "However, like the Heavenly Demon Qin Sound Room, like this superb Yuan Spring where the old man is staying now! And in this mansion, there are countless such arrangements and strange places! Some are in the light, and some are still hidden in the dark. These are all left by the Lei Emperor to the descendants of the Lei family, and the entire ancestral mansion is an excellent cultivation place! The value of this mansion is simply immeasurable!"
"Even if I sit here for a hundred years, I can't understand the eleventh or twelfth of the mysteries of this house, so many mysteries in the house are still hidden underground!"
"But even so, it also allowed me to be promoted from a mere martial artist to the realm of heavenly martial arts, and it also ensured that my Wang family finally gained a foothold in Wind Thunder City, and this house contributed a lot!"
Listening to their ancestors suddenly chatter about the past, Wang Changsheng and Li Tong were a little puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask, so they listened seriously.
"Hehe, my Wang knows the many benefits of this house, don't you know it when someone else?" The ancestor said: "But, in the face of such a temptation, even if the Lei family, which has fallen to the point of being bullied a hundred years ago, no one has ever dared to rob this house! ”
Wang Changsheng gradually understood: "Just because His Majesty Dayuan once ordered that no one should rob the Lei family's ancestral property?"
"Not bad. The ancestor of the Wang family said lightly: "Although it is only a verbal order, although this promise has already passed a thousand years, but after all, it is a decree that His Majesty Dayuan once issued to the world, who dares to ignore it? ”
"You can cheat, you can deceive, you can cheat, but you just can't rob hard!" The Wang family's ancestor's tone gradually became stern, and he said coldly: "If you really rob it, the Lei family can't do anything about you, but in this wind and thunder city, there are people who see our Wang family as unpleasant, or who also want to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie! If these people are allowed to make a fuss about His Majesty's decree, then even the ancestor will not be enough for me to fill the hole!"
Wang Changsheng was already sweating and realized the seriousness of the matter: "Then, that great-grandson will send someone to find the patriarch of the thunder clan! That kind of country character, the great-grandson will spend some money to renew the lease with them." Presumably, they'll be happy too......"
"Nope. The ancestor of the Wang family laughed: "After all, renting is just renting, even if you can rent for another hundred years, but after a hundred years, there will always be long nights and dreams!"
"Then buy it?" Wang Changsheng was surprised.
Didn't His Majesty's decree prohibit anyone from encroaching on the ancestral property of the Lei family?
The ancestor said lightly: "I heard that this time the Lei family sent just a Leng Touqing, a young man, always confident, impulsive, and not excited. Back then, my ancestor and I took advantage of this and rented this house from the Wang family. Hehe, just if I buy it, I'm afraid that others will say that my Wang family is forced to buy it, which is against His Majesty's decree, but if it is because of the bet, ......"
If you are willing to lose your gambling and repay your debts, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't control it! Otherwise, is there any rule in this world?
Wang Changsheng is not a stupid person, and he was just because he didn't pay attention to this matter before.
Hearing that the ancestor of the Wang family woke up to this point, if he still didn't know what to do, it would be really blind that he managed such a large family business.
"Ancestor rest assured, great-grandson understands. Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "Don't steal, don't rob, don't forcibly occupy, you have to let that stupid boy justifiably present the land deed!"
............
Cauliflower hadn't slept well all night last night, and as soon as she closed her eyes, the little thunder patriarch's trick swayed straight in front of her eyes, making her feel pain in her buttocks.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
That guy is really going to collect the ancestral house today? How can this be collected...... Could it be that there is some secret plan of action?
As soon as this idea came up, even Cauliflower himself was a little surprised.
The first thing I thought of wasn't 'being blasted out'?
It seems that it was Lei Zhen's slap yesterday that made him have such a trace of trust in him that should not exist.
Maybe the little thunder patriarch is not crazy? but what adventures did he have in the past month when he came to Wind Thunder City? Otherwise, how could he have been captured by such a mysterious and mysterious one?
It is rumored in the city that he is crazy, maybe he is actually in the enlightenment and fell into obsession, and now he has achieved the Tao and transformed, and he is so powerful!
And staying in the city for so many days, it seems crazy on the surface, but in fact, what secret means and secret plans are being arranged in secret?
For example, to win sympathy, for example, to create public opinion, and for example, to sue directly to the city lord's mansion?!
Well, if you do this, maybe it's really possible!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, thinking about her relationship with Lei Zhen yesterday, in fact, except for the fact that people said that they wanted to take back the ancestral house, they seemed a little ignorant, a little brainless, and a little crazy, everything else was quite good, and they were not really as crazy as rumored.
Well, maybe he really has a complete plan, but what kind of plan will it be......
She thought about it until it was almost dawn, and then she fell asleep in a daze.
When I was half asleep, I suddenly heard the sound of broken tiles and jars in the next room.
'Bang la la la'
The sound was so loud that it alarmed countless tenants.
Next door, isn't next door the Patriarch of Lei?
Cauliflower was startled, quickly rolled over and got up, got dressed and ran out.
There were already a large number of people at the door next door, and the door was wide open, and many people were smiling and pointing inside.
It happened that Lei Zhen walked out, still twisting a kitchen knife in his hand, and when he saw Cauliflower, he beckoned.
What's wrong, what's wrong?
Lei Caihua ran very fast, and looked into the house, almost holding her breath.
I saw that all the dishes and dishes in the house were shattered and fell to the ground, and the tables and benches and the wooden bed were also torn apart!
The fat proprietress was standing in the room with her waist crossed, stretching out her hand to Cauliflower with a black face: "Lose money!"
Cauliflower's mouth directly becomes an 'O' shape!
"Small, Thunder, Clan, Chief!"
Lei Zhen didn't care, yawned as if he hadn't woken up yet, and pointed to the house: "It's dawn, you can deal with it here, and I'll go collect the ancestral house." ”
Deal with your sister! The little money in your pocket was almost all eaten up by you yesterday, and you let me pay for it with my life?!
Cauliflower is going crazy, and the little trust that he finally developed in Lei Zhen last night immediately disappeared.
"Ha, this stupid patriarch can really toss!"
"Does he really want to go to Wang's house again to find humiliation?"
"Where did this guy get his confidence?"
"What self-confidence does a fool need? Narcissistic enough, hahaha!"
A large number of tenants giggled and joked, and Lei Zhen walked away in a high-spirited manner, leaving only a house of cauliflower that was messy and wanted to cry without tears.
"I'll pay you for it!" Cauliflower gritted her teeth, threw out a money bag at the proprietress and chased after Lei Zhen like a fly.
"How much do you owe?" Soon came the screams of the proprietress behind him: "Twenty-five copper plates, robbed! Murdered! Smashed the house! The little cub of the ThunderClan waited for the old lady, this matter is not over!"
Cauliflower didn't want to come, but she couldn't go back to the inn, and she was pointed at, laughed and joked when she wandered on the street.
If you want to say that you lost Lei Zhen and returned to the countryside, you can't face the Great Elder.
I had no choice but to catch up. In this way, at least when others point fingers, there is someone who can help her share most of the attention of others.
"Crazy you? It's okay, what are you doing dismantling people's tables and benches? And those bottles and cans, all offended you?"
"Although we ThunderClan are poor, we have never relied on anyone's accounts, and I have lost all the face of ThunderClan, and I blame you!"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, say something?!"
"Little Thunder Patriarch!"
She was angry and anxious to count the eight sins of Lei Zhen, but she forgot about the big trouble of the Wang family for the time being.
"You dealt with it so quickly, that lady doesn't look like a good stubble. Lei Zhen's answer and her question couldn't be hit with eight strokes.
“......”
This guy also knows how to look at people......
Cauliflower choked a lot, and she felt that if she stayed with this guy for a few more days, she would not be angry with him, and she would also be killed by him.
Lei Zhen didn't care: "Forget it, it's good to deal with it." Let's go, follow me to collect the house, and by the way, I will take you to Wang's house for a big meal, his family's food should be good. ”
"What?" cauliflower said, "Go to Wang's house?"
"And where do you think you're going?"
Seeing the confidence on his face, not like he was joking, Cauliflower was a little surprised.
Although going to the Wang family is completely different from the steps he envisioned, what if the little thunder patriarch has any special ideas?
"Little Thunder Patriarch, what is your plan?" asked Cauliflower, a little expectantly.
"Act when you see the opportunity," Lei Zhen said with a smile: "The plan is better than the change, what is the good plan to go to the Wang family?"
Cauliflower almost fell headlong!
Looking at his grappling hand yesterday, and then looking at his confident appearance just now, I thought he was thinking about it and coming prepared.
I almost believed it!
"I'm really enough......" Cauliflower covered her face: "Shouldn't we go to the City Lord's Mansion to prepare a case first, or go directly to the Mansion to sue the Imperial Court or something?!"
"I've thought it all for you! Anyway, the title deed of the ancestral house is still in our Lei family, no matter how domineering the Wang family is, the title deed must always be recognized, I heard that it was signed by His Majesty Dayuan himself! Xiao Lei Patriarch, didn't you bring it out last time! Take it directly to the city lord's mansion for the record, if the city lord is in a good mood, take care of this matter, maybe there will be some drama!"
"Otherwise, you can renew the contract with the Wang family!" Caihua had a special spirit when she said this: "I heard that when the Wang family rented our ancestral house in the past, they still gave a lot of money! Anyway, they are very rich, and they like it so much, just let them rent it for another hundred years and give them three or five thousand gold, haha! Our village also buys dozens of buffaloes, and everyone no longer has to plow the land with their hands!"
Lei Zhen couldn't laugh or cry at her, and glanced at her like an idiot.
"Little Thunder Patriarch, what do you mean by this look?" Cauliflower coughed dryly twice and asked very unpleasantly.
"It means that we have already arrived at the king's house. Lei Zhen pointed ahead.
It was a vermilion wall that enclosed the entire ancestral house, and this was the easternmost point of Wind Thunder City, next to the moat. The whole mansion itself is one of the walls of Wind Thunder City!
The wall was built more than ten meters high, and the gate alone was as wide as the city gate.
There is a huge stone carving on the gate, which was originally supposed to be the word 'Lei Fu', but now it has long been changed to 'Wangfu'.
This is an ancestral house built by himself, carrying too many memories of his previous life. It has not been seen for a thousand years, except for the words on the gate that have been replaced, everything else is still the same.
Seeing the ancestral house, Lei Zhen felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, as if he had returned home.
It's been a thousand years......
He strode forward.
"Hey, hey, let's really go in like this?" Cauliflower's eyes widened, "What the hell are you going to ......do? Phew!"
She saw the kitchen knife pinned to Lei Zhen's waist! It was greasy and stained with dry grease.
No, I brought a kitchen knife......
I have to play to death before I'm willing!
Thinking of the word 'play', her ears turned red for no reason.
saw Lei Zhen's unhesitating look again.
Nasty guys!
"Wait, wait for me!" Cauliflower's brain was hot, she gritted her teeth fiercely, stomped her foot, and quickly followed.
When he came to the gate of the palace, before Lei Zhen could speak, the guard recognized him at a glance and smiled.
"Isn't this Lei Gongzi?!" He took three steps and two steps, and greeted him warmly: "The head of the family is invited!"
Can you not be enthusiastic? The head of the family just ordered that people go all over the city to find this Lei Dagongzi, and those who find it will be rewarded with ten taels of gold!
It just so happened that he was on duty today, and he couldn't pull away, and when he saw the other guards happily running around the city, he could only do it in a hurry. But who would have thought that this guy actually sent himself to the door.
Ten taels of gold! That's enough for him for a year!
only stunned the cauliflower next to her, she never dreamed that someone would call Lei Zhen what kind of Lei Gongzi is?
This guy looks like a boy in some part of his body? Especially the kitchen knife on his waist, like a madman!
Moreover, we have just come here, and we haven't even reported it yet, so why is the head of the family invited?
Could it be that as the little thunder patriarch said, he has any special arrangements?
Woohoo, he said those things yesterday, he really didn't brag or go crazy? Can he really go back to his ancestral home today?
Cauliflower was suspicious, and cautiously followed behind Lei Zhen, her palms were sweating, as if she had entered a Longtan tiger's den.
It's thunder, and it looks like it's coming and it's safe. Walking slowly, appreciating this and observing that along the way, it was like visiting his own back garden.
But it made Cauliflower feel more and more unfathomable.
This guy is too calm, isn't he......
The two followed the guard into the hall of the Wang family, and in the hall, Wang Changsheng had already received a report from his subordinates, and he had been waiting for a long time.
This guy looks like he is only in his thirties, with a chubby figure, but his face is ruddy. Although he is only a businessman, he has been the head of the family for many years, and he also has the bearing of a master. Let Cauliflower always feel a little lacking in confidence when facing him.
Seeing Lei Zhen enter the hall, Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "I heard that Lei Gongzi came here a few days ago, but he was driven away by ignorant subordinates. Hehe, the old man just heard about this, no, he was sending people all over the city to find Lei Gongzi. ”
"It's a lot of trouble to find someone, no, I'll come to the door myself. Lei Zhen smiled.
Wang Changsheng felt that the 'thunder shock' in front of him seemed to be a little different from the one he had inquired about.
Look at his demeanor and demeanor, there is a sense of confidence in his demeanor. Not only did he not go crazy as rumored, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a little speechless. This kid doesn't seem to be a flute-headed green either.
Forget it, it's probably thinking too much.
No matter how scheming he is, he is just a mere junior of a broken family.
If it weren't for the ancestor, how could he be impatient to take care of such a small role?
Of course, there is no need to go around in circles with such small characters, it is better to get straight to the topic.
Lei Gongzi laughed. Wang Changsheng smiled slightly, and said straight to the point: "I heard from the people in the clan that Lei Gongzi came a few days ago to lease the ancestral house a hundred years ago? Wang invited Lei Gongzi over today to discuss this matter. At the beginning, the two families agreed to rent a house for a hundred years, but now that the hundred-year period has arrived, I don't know what Lei Gongzi plans to do about this ancestral mansion covenant?"
Here it comes!
Cauliflower's eyes widened and her breathing slowed!
Immediately know why the little thunder patriarch is so calm and composed! immediately know what the little thunder patriarch has hole cards and plans!
She stared nervously at Lei Zhen's mouth.
I just heard the guy smile: "I don't have any plans, since you have a full rent, then return the house." Is the head of the Wang family going to move today or tomorrow?"
Is it really that straightforward?
Cauliflower was even more nervous, she didn't believe that Lei Zhen's so-called 'plan' was such a simple sentence.
Patriarch Xiao Lei must have something to say! Damn, after coming to the city for a month, he has actually learned to speak and sell things......
"Hahaha!" Wang Changsheng laughed out loud: "Young Master Lei has lived in the countryside for a long time, but I am afraid that he doesn't quite understand the situation in this Wind Thunder City. ”
He looked at Lei Zhen with a smile: "There are countless beautiful mansions in Wind Thunder City, but no matter which mansion it is, it is not as good as the Thunder Mansion built by His Majesty the Thunder Emperor, who was once the first person in the world. Don't look at the calm of this house now, it's because our Wang family is sitting here. ”
"If you change to another family, I'm afraid you won't be able to live here for three or two days, and you will be in trouble!" He looked at Lei Zhen with a smile: "Does Lei Gongzi think that the Lei Clan, who has lived in the countryside for a long time, is capable of dealing with these troubles?"
Depend on!
I knew it wasn't that simple! The Wang family started to make moves! This is called the intimidation flow?
Cauliflower was so nervous next to her that her palms were full of sweat, and her heart was in her throat!
How will the little thunder patriarch answer? What are the hole cards of the little thunder patriarch......?
Sigh......
Cauliflower suddenly rubbed her eyes: What are you doing, what is the little thunder patriarch doing?
Lei Zhen is eating a snack.
Tea and snacks sent by the Wang family next to him!
Damn, people are so nervous that they are about to pee their pants, and this thing is still in the mood to eat snacks?!
Cauliflower is also drunk!
"Young Master Lei?" Wang Changsheng frowned.
Lei Zhen is gobbling it up, although the snack is small, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!
He instructed the people of the Wang family like a master: "A few more plates of this mille-feuille cake!"
Then he turned his head and grinned at Wang Changsheng: "I'm sorry, I was so hungry just now, I really couldn't hold back! What did you just say?"
Could it be that this guy was just eating snacks and didn't listen to what Wang Changsheng was saying at all?
Damn,!
Cauliflower was stunned in an instant.
The old lady's pants are tightened for you, so you tell me this?!
“......... Lei Gongzi is very funny. Wang Changsheng smiled meaningfully, but he was not angry, and repeated what he had just said slowly.
Lei Zhen finally didn't pretend to be stupid anymore, and stuffed a piece of mille-feuille cake into his mouth with satisfaction: "Hehe, speaking of which, the head of the Wang family is really thinking about our Thunder Clan." ”
"Of course. After renting this house for a hundred years, everything has gone smoothly for my royal family, so I am also grateful to you Thunderclan. Wang Changsheng smiled and said: "This was originally the house of the Thunder Clan, and if it is returned to Lei Gongzi, I certainly approve of it." But if Lei Gongzi can't hold it and let other families rob it openly and secretly, Wang's hard work will go down the drain, wouldn't it be a pity?
"What does the Wang family master mean?" Lei Zhen asked nonchalantly, he didn't expect the Wang family to be obedient.
"It's okay for Lei Gongzi to get the house back, but I want to test Lei Gongzi. Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to see if Lei Gongzi has the ability to defend this house." ”
The Thunder Clan wants to return their own property, but they want outsiders to test themselves?
Damn, if you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back, what kind of bullshit is this?
Even Cauliflower, who has been putting a low posture, feels that something is holding in his throat, and his heart is blocked.
But Lei Zhen smiled.
Wang Changsheng reversed his attitude last time today, and actually received him in person. Lei Zhen had already guessed that he had a plan, and had been waiting for him to say it.
Now make a test that I don't know what to call it, if he loses, he probably wants the title deed of the ancestral house.
This is going to change the previous small thunder shock, and it must be pitted without discussion.
But Lei Zhen didn't seem to think about all this at all, and said with a smile: "Oh? ”
