"After all, it didn't escape your sharp eyes."

After that, I saw the old man take off his dirty clothes, revealing the wolf head tattoo on his body.

Ye Chen picked up the coat on the ground and put it on for the old man, and Ye Jianguo walked out curiously.

"I wanted to bring the secret in the yamen into the coffin, but I didn't expect to be discovered by someone with a heart. Your dad is a brainkiller who doesn't know how to be flexible, but fortunately he is an upright man and keeps these things very well. ”

Walking back to the village office, Chen Jiefang looked at the old man's knife-like eyes, and instantly had a feeling of uncertainty.

Ye Jianguo poured a cup of hot tea for the old man, "Dare to ask the old brother's name?" ”

"Sien and the people are wide, and the country is prosperous."

As soon as the Ye family came out, Ye Jianguo immediately knelt down for the old man, "The eldest nephew doesn't know his uncle's name, and he has been neglected for so many years." ”

"My real surname is Ye, and I am the same ancestor as you. Because it is a side line, it rarely walks with the royal family.

Now that my eldest grandson has lifted out my old bottom, shouldn't you be doing an old courtesy to me? ”

Ye Chen knelt down, and Shen Jiahui also knelt down when she saw this.

"Grandpa."

The old man Ye Guangrong nodded with satisfaction to the three descendants of the Ye family, and after helping Ye Jianguo and Shen Jiahui up, he ordered Ye Chen to sit in the middle hall of the old yamen.

As soon as there was a whistle, a few old people who were not good-looking came in from outside the old yamen.

Under the leadership of the old man Ye Guangrong, several people saluted Ye Chen in unison, and the general of Zhenguo was auspicious.

"Slave, Ye Guangrong, the former general of the Eight Banners garrison, brought the widow of the Qing family to the master to say goodbye."

"Slave, that Zhentao, from the Sixth Rank Internal Affairs Mansion, Lan Ling, please ask the master to be safe."

"Slave, rich and red, is the history of the seventh city gate, knock on the master Zi'an."

"Minion, Ma Lu, Zheng Jiupin, Taoyuan County Master Book, please ask the master Zi'an."

Ye Chen looked at a few old people talking to themselves, as if they were making a movie.

There is Wang Banzhang in the front, and there is the widow of Wanqing who is dormant in the village, and then continues to investigate the secrets of Peach Blossom Village, Ye Chen is afraid that some son will come out again.

The strange behavior of the crowd also puzzled Ye Jianguo and Chen Jiefang who were present.

But Shen Jiahui, who has experienced this situation once, can understand the helplessness of these people, who have been dormant for many years and have not been harmed by the troubled times, and it is a miracle that they can survive.

Ye Chen hurriedly got up and came to everyone to help him up, "A few uncles, you are all old, let's not do this." You guys are tormenting me, a junior, please get up quickly. ”

Ye Guangrong took out a jade tiger talisman that he had with him and handed it to Ye Chen.

"This is an object passed down to me by my father, that is, your grandfather."

Looking at this jade tiger talisman, Ye Chen took out the piece he carried with him and compared it, although the lines were the same, but the carving techniques were different.

"Grandpa, you said that this Jade Tiger Talisman was passed on to you by Grandpa, did he say anything else?"

After thinking for a while, Ye Guangrong turned around and walked to the table to find a codex.

"This jade tiger talisman is the key to open the official road under the mountain in the north foothills, when the ancestors used the Mo craftsmen to build fortifications. At that time, the Eighth Banner Army had just moved south and had not yet stabilized its heels, so it had to use some skilled craftsmen to set up organs to assist in defense. ”

"Then according to that, this Ye ancestral hall was also built according to the fortifications of the defense, right?"

Ye Guangrong recalled: "I was only born when the Qing Dynasty was in exile.

I only remember when I was a teenager, Taohua Village was called Taoyuan County at that time, and after a Beiyang army was stationed in the village, the population of the originally thriving village plummeted.

After the warlords fought that year, the foreign Yi came to occupy it again. Huashi Street was burned by the war, but fortunately, the ancestors left a back hand when they built Huashi Street, that is, they dug an underground tunnel.

Now you see the ruins of the fortress on the hill behind the village, which were all destroyed by the ancestors of the Ye family who led the last soldiers of the Eight Banners to fight against the foreign invaders.

After the liberation of the country, the ancestral hall of our old Ye family and this yamen are the four olds, and it was at that time that I began to unite with the last Manchu descendants to seal all the treasures left by the ancestors underground. ”

Ye Chen was ashamed and said, "If it weren't for my curiosity, maybe the Ye family's secret would never be made public." ”

Ye Guangrong wrapped his coat and said with emotion: "Master...... Chen'er, the secrets that we have kept all our old things all our lives have been solved by you with one move, which means that you have the qualifications to be our family. ”

"That master, rich master, Ma Ye, what are your plans in the future?"

"Since the old general has revealed his identity, our old brothers will not be able to live like ordinary farmers in the village in the future, so they can only rely on the master to take them in."

"Master Ma, you are the chief bookkeeper of Taoyuan County, and you should be clear about the things in this yamen. I will ask you to help me count a list, from now on, your family will be my Ye Chen's relatives. ”

Several people bowed again, and Ye Chen and Shen Jiahui hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.

"Grandfathers, don't do this. What Brother Chen promised you, if you can say it, you will definitely do it. ”

Ye Chen saw that a few people still had to follow the old etiquette, and immediately ordered solemnly: "All of them have stood up straight for me, and they are not allowed to give me the old ceremony in the future." ”

Seeing that Ye Chen was angry, Ma Lu supported the Zhentao beside him and bowed down to admit his mistake, "The master is angry, and the servants will be obedient in the future." ”

"Jiahui, prepare a few winter clothes for a few elders. By the way, I went to their house to see what was missing, so that Uncle Hu could find someone to help buy it. ”

Shen Jiahui responded: "I will." ”

At this time, Hu Dahai hurriedly came to the village office to report to Ye Chen, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Chen, the Lu Xiansheng who was repaired by us last time wanted to see you by name." ”

"How many people are here?"

"He's alone, and he's carrying a box in his hand, saying it's a gift for you."

Ye Chen picked up the cigarette case from the table and handed Hu Dahai a cigarette, "Smoke a cigarette and take a break, we'll go over and meet him in a while." ”

"Brother Chen, I think this surname Lu is not simple."

Ye Chen smiled lightly: "Remember, the more people are not simple, the more we have to make friends." Don't be afraid of who he is, and don't be afraid of how unattainable his backstage is.

Right now, if he can come to us alone, it means that he wants to make friends with us. After all, people come with gifts, no matter whether we can be friends or not, this stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person.

Do you think that's the truth? ”

After smoking, Hu Dahai also smiled: "This is our territory, he came alone, afraid of his ball."

If he doesn't say anything, I'll take the gift and let my men beat him out of the village to show him how good we are. ”

Patting Hu Dahai's arm, Ye Chen stepped to the front of the village office.

Hu Dahai's subordinates immediately took off their coats and put them on him.

"Let's go, brother. Have friends come from afar, are you happy? Don't snub people. ”

Hu Dahai was stunned and directly tampered with the "Analects" of Sage Kong, "How do I remember that this sentence is not said like this." You should take the bricks and look at your face, so that you can be enthusiastic enough. ”

Ye Chen suddenly laughed and said, "You stunned seed, you have time to read more books." ”
