Fu Ru'an was talking at Ye Hao's house for a while, and the news had already flown into the ears of the county magistrate like wings.

"You mean, Fu Gongzi actually took someone to the place where the criminal minister lived?"

The county commander's face was full of disbelief, and he almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

He still has some impression of the nameless village where Ye Hao is located. Whenever a guilty minister was put into his own hands, as long as there was some money in it, he was basically exiled there, regardless of life or death.

The other criminals who had nothing to do with the money all went into the workshop or the field to serve and work.

The county magistrate knew that Ye Hao had a great relationship with Mochizuki Tower, after all, the other party's shopkeeper could personally fill the scene for her.

But she didn't expect that she was even familiar with the eldest son of the Fu family, if she had this relationship, how could she be exiled here?

Not only did he not figure it out, but even the master behind him was a little incomprehensible.

However, the officers and soldiers who returned the news continued:

"Fu Gongzi didn't stay at Mrs. Xie's house for too long before leaving. The subordinates looked at the boy who didn't look seriously ill, that is, his complexion was a little worse."

This person is one of the confidants of the county order, so he knows his own adult's thoughts very well, and observes very carefully all the way.

When the master heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Fu Gongzi is weak and sick, this is something that everyone knows. It's only been a few years since I went out, so how could I suddenly get better when I came to this wild place?"

As early as after learning that the owner behind the Moon Tower was the Fu family, the county order sent someone to investigate the bottom clearly.

Fu Ru'an's poor body is well-known in the entire Jiangnan region, and anyone who asks casually knows it.

It's just that he never went out in the past, and this time when he came to Lingnan, everyone guessed that he was abandoned.

But the county magistrate is not so stupid, he is more well-informed than those ordinary people, and knows that Fu Gongzi is deeply favored by his maternal grandfather and uncle, and it is impossible to be abandoned to the wilderness so casually.

Although he can't figure this out, he still has to stammer the identity of the other party.

"Regardless of whether we are in good health or not, we all have to meet each other today, and it is okay to get acquainted!"

After saying that, the county commander stood up and ordered his subordinates to quickly prepare a sedan chair and go to the Moon Tower.

This time, he took into account the identity and temperament of the other party, and did not dare to act in the style of a county order, so he could only act in a low-key manner.

At this time, Xingnan Village on the other side also ushered in a strange thing.

The grandfather and grandson sitting in the carriage were glamorous, and their clothes alone were different from the past, and they wore silk that only large families could afford in the county.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the two who were sloppy before have become quite rich under their dress.

also relied on the deposit of five taels of silver given by Ye Hao a few days ago, so that the two of them could not eat as much as before.

"Xiaoguang, when you get to the village later, you can talk less and pay less attention to others, just follow your grandfather, you know?"

whispering to his grandson beside him, Carpenter Zuo still had a vague look of apprehension on his face.

Zuo carpenter's ancestors have lived in Xingnan Village for three generations, and he is the only one, after suffering criticism and design, he resolutely moved to the county town with his family.

Now that I haven't been back to the village for 20 years, the first time I came here, I inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.

But he was timid about his hometown, and he looked at the familiar scenes on the side of the road, and his face was full of embarrassment.

The little radish head sitting in the carriage didn't feel anything afraid, he looked left and right, and he was so excited that he couldn't wait to go to the ground to play immediately.

However, when I came to the village today, I had something important.

Zuo Hongguang was ill-fated, which created a more sensible temperament, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and obediently followed his grandfather.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xie has arranged it for you, let's just act according to the plan."

Wang Hu, who was sitting outside the carriage, lifted the curtain and comforted the other party.

This incident, too

His share.

If the matter is done, according to what Lin Bin said, not only does he not have to worry about food and clothing, but he can also have a decent errand, can he not work hard?

Wang Hu was clear in his heart, even if the people in the village were afraid of his physical strength, they didn't dare to say anything to his face.

But who behind it doesn't look down on himself?

He didn't want to do bad things, but life was forced to take risks in order to have enough to eat.

Now that we have the opportunity, it is natural to change our ways.

Looking at Wang Hu, Carpenter Zuo nodded, feeling much more secure.

When the carriage was about to reach the entrance of the village, Wang Hu jumped out of the car first, avoiding the eyes and ears.

The coachman on the carriage was an old acquaintance with the carpenter Zuo in the carriage, and listened to his instructions, and went straight through the village with the carriage to the innermost ancestral hall.

Xingnan Village is an old village with a long history, but it is not a clinging to xenophobia, so there are family names in the village.

However, as long as the registered villagers pass away, they will set up tablets in the village ancestral hall after burial for future generations to worship.

As soon as the gorgeous carriage entered the village, it attracted the attention of many villagers, who speculated which of the good children had returned to their hometowns.

But before they could guess, the carriage stopped in front of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is guarded by no one, after all, this matter is the root of a village, and no one has ever dared to attack the idea of the ancestral hall, which is a matter that will be angry with the villagers of the whole village.

Carpenter Zuo took his grandson and got out of the carriage generously, ignoring the sight of those who followed behind him, and led people into the ancestral hall.

In the hands of an old man and a young man, he also carried a lot of worship items, and he was the best choice to see the condition.

Walking into the ancestral hall, the carpenter on the left looked around, found the tablet of his ancestors, and went over to worship first.

When he left, he only cared about taking his parents' with him, and the tablets of his other ancestors were still here.

Zuo Carpenter's family is a lineage, and as soon as he left, there was no one to offer incense to his ancestors.

Looking at the dusty tablet, his nose was sore, and he endured it for a long time before he shed tears.

After wiping the dust clean, the left carpenter led his grandson and kowtowed to the ancestor a few times.

At this time, many villagers have already heard the news and walked in to see the excitement.

It's just that the ancestral hall belongs to a serious place, and everyone doesn't dare to make a sound, so they can only keep glancing at each other with their eyes.

There are still some people standing outside the door, who are not so serious, and they are talking nonsense one by one.

"Who is this? How come I've never seen one?"

"Look at some eyes, isn't it someone who has been working hard outside for many years before coming back?"

"I look a little like it, you look at the material on other people's bodies, but it's a serious satin, it's expensive!"

The people who spoke were basically women in their thirties, and it was normal not to know Carpenter Zuo, after all, the other party left twenty years ago.

Just when everyone was guessing which family was developed and returned to the village, a slightly older mother-in-law suddenly said loudly:

"Is this the left carpenter who was forced out of the village back then? He worships the ancestors of the Zuo family!"

The mother-in-law didn't think about it at first, but when she saw the tablet of the other party's worship with sharp eyes, she suddenly remembered it.

Hearing her say this, the women on the side all came to their senses and hurriedly let her speak.

The matter of Carpenter Zuo's family leaving Xingnan Village was also troubled for a period of time back then, and then under the conscious cover of Carpenter Zheng, it was quickly faded from the sight of the villagers.

What's more, the life expectancy of ancient people was not long, and they died one after another at the age of forty or fifty.

There are only a handful of people in the village who still remember this incident.

But there is such a mother-in-law today, who was also present at the time, and she talked about it vividly.

While she was talking, Wang Hu, who was mixed in the crowd at some point, said a few words, and the surrounding villagers were all in a trance.

The carpenter on the left in the ancestral hall, after worshipping the tablet of his ancestors, walked to a tablet at the other end.

This tablet was beaten

It is smooth and shiny, and at first glance, it is often worshipped.

After placing the tribute he had prepared, the carpenter on his knees and said with a sad expression:

"Master, the apprentice hasn't burned incense for you for 20 years, and the apprentice has come to confess."

After that, he knocked his head ten times, and his scalp was broken, and then he stopped.

In the ancestral hall, the villagers who were still looking at the bustle were startled, and they retreated away, and they didn't dare to come out.

And the people at the door were also so startled by this movement that they quickly shifted their eyes and stared at the scene in the ancestral hall.

"When I was bullied by others, the apprentice had to go away, and now that I have come back, I hope that the master will not dislike it, and don't blame the apprentice for not burning incense for you all these years."

While muttering, the carpenter on the left burned the paper money in his hand, and the bean-sized tears kept sliding down.

The crimson red light reflected on his face, making everyone around him feel inexplicably hot.

At this moment, someone in the crowd changed their expressions and poked the hands of the people around them in horror.

"Look!"

He had kept his voice as low as he could, but everyone around him could hear it.

Everyone looked in the direction he indicated, and in the firelight, on the tablet table, a red and purple character appeared on it.

Seeing this scene, not only the person I saw before, but also the entire ancestral hall were stunned, one by one in summer, but in winter.

The ancestral hall is haunted!

Finally, someone who couldn't sit still turned around and ran out of the ancestral hall, telling the people outside the door about it.

Originally, everyone didn't believe it, but as people went out one by one, everyone packed tickets for this matter in unison, and some people believed it if they didn't believe it.

With the blessing of supernatural events, the incident about Carpenter Zheng of Zuo quickly spread throughout the village.

When this news reached Carpenter Zheng's ears, he was bored in the room drawing drawings.

"Carpenter Zheng! Oh no! Something happened in the ancestral hall!"

Someone outside the door shouted loudly and kept banging on the door, which made Carpenter Zheng upset.

He walked to the door, pulled it open, and replied angrily:

"The ancestral hall is haunted, you can go to the village chief, find the chief, find the Taoist priest, what are you doing with me?!"

The devil knows that he just drew half of the drawing, and because he was frightened by the other party's screams, he ruined it!

Wang Hu, who was standing at the door, looked aggrieved, and pretended to be innocent and said:

"I also heard that this matter is related to you, so I came to tell you. If you're not interested, I'll just go!"

After that, he also made an indignant look, turned around and was about to leave.

However, Carpenter Zheng still stopped him and asked with a puzzled expression:

"What does it matter to me?"

He didn't believe in any hauntings, he had more important things to do at the moment, and he didn't want to waste time on this mess.

However, when the other party said that it was related to him, Carpenter Zheng couldn't hold his breath now.

Carrying Zheng Carpenter behind his back and looking at the woman with a dry laugh, Wang Hu said in his heart, the other party was really fooled!

Then, he turned around, and he had regained his previous aggrieved appearance.

"That's right! A pair of grandchildren came to the village, and they all said that the left carpenter who had left the village before went to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. But somehow, it's haunted by worshipping and worshipping!"

He pretended to exaggerate, but secretly observed the other party's expression.
