Chapter 57: The Ancestral Law?
For the next few days, Ye Chen was at a loss.
Until this day, when the Zhu family arrived at the time of worshipping their ancestors, they saw the incense burner used to worship their ancestors.
Ye Chen's eyes were straight at that time, this thing looks no different from an alchemy furnace, good guy, it is a perfect replacement.
Just do it, that night Ye Chen used hypnotic aromatherapy to first put down the family on duty, and then took the opportunity to "rebel" into the room dedicated to the ancestors' spiritual position, and it took a lot of effort to carry the incense burner back to his room.
Looking at the Dan furnace, Ye Chen was overjoyed.
Just do it, Ye Chen followed the memories of his previous life, first heated the Dan furnace, and then put the medicinal materials into it in turn to refine......
Early the next morning.
"Master, it's not good!" A family member stumbled towards Zhu Yan's bedroom, shouting loudly.
Zhu Yan was still learning martial arts with Zhou Gong, and was awakened by this sound.
Zhu Yi got up and opened the door with sleepy eyes, and saw that the housekeeper was full of panic and looked very unhappy.
"What's the matter with the panic early in the morning?"
"Master, something is wrong, why don't you go and see it for yourself with me......" Jia Ding said with a trembling voice.
In the law of the Daheng Dynasty, from the moment the servant signed the deed of sale, the power of life and death could be in the hands of the employer.
The night before was my own vigil, but the incense burner used to worship the ancestors in front of the spiritual throne was stolen, how can this be good?
Zhu Yan hated others to speak secretly, and he didn't rest well, so his face was extremely dark at this time.
But when he walked to the room where his ancestors were enshrined, the whole person was dumbfounded.
Yesterday, the scenery was beautiful and the ancestors were worshipped, and the incense burner that was still flourishing during the day disappeared!
"What's going on?!!" Zhu Yan was furious and asked.
All the family members standing next to him lowered their heads and none of them dared to speak out, for fear that this matter would implicate them.
"Who was on duty last night, out of the ranks!" Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Yan's face became even more angry.
Several night watchmen walked out tremblingly, their faces pale.
"The rest of the people are busy with their own work, don't be silent at this time, if someone has a big mouth and I know it, don't blame me for being unkind." Zhu Yan looked at the others and said.
When the rest of the family heard this, the chicks nodded like pecks and fled the room at a flying speed, for fear that they would be implicated if they walked one second slower.
"All of them are dumb? Then come one by one, starting with you, last night, where were you? ”
"Back to the master, the little one was on duty in the West Wing and the dining room last night, and I really don't know the situation here." Jiading said truthfully, Zhu Yan looked at him for a long time, didn't see any clues, and turned around and walked to another Jiading next to him.
"Back to the master, the villain is responsible for guarding the main gate of the courtyard, no one has been in and out all night, and the little one dares to take the head of the item as a guarantee!" Zhu Yan nodded.
"Little Last Night's ............"
…………
Asked all the way, seeing that the last person, no one knew the situation, and just when Zhu Yan was about to be angry, the last family member knelt down in front of Zhu Yan with a thud.
"The old man spares his life, the little one should be damned! It was the villain who was on duty here last night, and last night the villain fell asleep for some reason, and when the villain woke up, it was already like this......"
The person who spoke was the one who went to the bedroom to call Zhu Yan in the morning, and at this moment he was trembling all over, for fear that Zhu Yan would punish him.
"Tell me what happened last night, say it carefully, don't miss it at all......" I thought Zhu Yan would be furious, but Zhu Yan calmed down and asked.
Zhu Yan seems to be accountable, but in fact, he is secretly observing everyone and analyzing who is lying in their words.
The meticulousness of his mind is worthy of being the head of the family.
After talking about the situation in a circle, Zhu Yan can basically determine two things at this moment.
First, the incense burner should not have left the Zhu family's mansion.
Second, the person who stole the incense burner was in the Zhu family.
The family knelt on the ground, honestly told the story of last night, and he was on duty last night, smelling a burst of aroma, and he felt drowsy, and then fell asleep.
"Are there any other items missing?"
"Back to the master, I haven't found it yet! There was no sign of break-ins in the other rooms! No property has been found to be missing. ”
Zhu was tired of hearing this, and put a big question mark in his heart.
This incense burner is not a valuable thing, and it is big and heavy, what does a thief do when he steals an incense burner? If it is for money, you can go to the account room to steal real money, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, is this person really related to his Zhu family.
Zhu Yan recalled that his family had always been kind and charitable, and he had never married anyone outside.
It is even more impossible in the family, the Zhu family has a good reputation, and it never loses its subordinates, and many people have squeezed their heads and want to enter the Zhu family.
The train of thought fell into a dead loop, and Zhu Yan was puzzled.
But now, he roughly deduced that the incense burner must still be in the Zhu family's mansion.
But Zhu Yan couldn't guess even if he wanted to break his head, the incense burner would be in Ye Chen's room......
"Today I want to look for one house at a time, the Zhu family is such a palm-sized place, I don't believe that the incense burner can disappear!"
"A few of you, in pairs, guard the gate, and don't let anyone out, and the rest ......"
Boom ——!
Just as Zhu Yan was arranging the family on duty last night, a violent explosion suddenly sounded.
Even the other people in Chang'an City were shocked when they heard this shocking sound, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.
This sound is coming from your own house! Zhu Yan immediately led the family to look in the direction of the sound.
The source of this voice was none other than Ye Chen.
Ye Chen worked hard in the room all night, and finally refined all the herbal essences and began to fuse.
Seeing the critical moment of the pill condensation, an accident happened.
That incense burner is not for alchemy, and it gradually can't withstand the scorching heat of Ye Chen's alchemy, and it actually produces a trace of cracks!
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and focused entirely on the pill.
At the moment when the elixir was practiced, the incense burner suddenly exploded, and the entire house was reduced to ruins under the violent impact.
Ye Chen was even more disgraced, and his face was blackened by the explosion.
Zhu Yan came with a group of family members, only to see Ye Chen's embarrassed appearance and the mess around him.
"Son?! Are you okay? Zhu Yanhuzi was heartbroken, and the first thing he did when he rushed forward was to check Ye Chen's injury.
Later, after examining his body again and again, and determining a small amount of skin trauma, Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haoran, what's going on?"
After making sure that his son was okay, Zhu Yan immediately became serious, looking at the mess and the fragments of the incense burner left after the explosion, Zhu Yan already knew the whereabouts of the incense burner.
But he couldn't understand that his well-behaved and obedient son would do such a rebellious thing.
At this time, Ye Chen gave full play to the advantages of a child, and suddenly cried.
This time I can't be a father, Zhu Haoran has been synonymous with being obedient and sensible since he was a child, and he almost never cries or makes trouble.
But now crying, even Ye Chen himself was shocked by his acting skills.
If this acting skill is put in his original world, he will definitely be able to win the Oscar.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan was also completely deceived by Ye Chen's acting skills, so he had to keep comforting.
Ye Chen saw that the time was ripe, so he opened his mouth and came, "Last night I saw Mrs. and Grandpa come to me!" Said you want to teach me something! Then he led me to carry the incense burner to the house......"
Ye Chen's description was colorful, and everyone present was stunned when they heard it.
"Is that really the case?" Zhu Yan was even more shocked, the ancestors and the ancestors dreamed, this thing is not common.
Ye Chen nodded, his little face was full of tears, "When I woke up, I saw that you are here!" ”
"What did Mrs. Grandpa tell you?" Zhu Yan hurriedly asked.
Everyone stared at Ye Chen curiously, waiting for Ye Chen's next words, but Ye Chen whispered in front of Zhu Yan's ear, which made the others even more curious.
…………
"Haoran, what you just said is true?" Zhu Yan led his son into the room, locked the door, looked at Ye Chen with his eyes shining and asked.
It turned out that Ye Chen saw that his theft of the incense burner was exposed just now, so he made up a plan and temporarily made up a story about the ancestor possessing him to teach the law.
"Of course it's true, Mrs. and grandpa also said that they wouldn't let me tell others, but I believe in you, Dad, you can't tell others anymore!"
"What else did Mrs. Mrs. Grandpa say?"
"Mrs. Grandpa said that the furnace is too broken to teach, so let you buy a serious alchemy furnace for me."
Alchemy furnace? There is no ancestor in his own family who has obtained the true inheritance of the Onmyoji, what do you want to do with the alchemy furnace.
Although Zhu Yan was confused, he still believed his son's words, and went to the auction house that afternoon to find out if there were any suitable goods.
After all, Zhu Haoran is so young, if it is said that he wants toys to be delicious and understandable, then what does the young child want to do in the alchemy furnace by himself, I am afraid that he has really obtained the dream of the ancestors.
It is better to believe that this kind of thing is not credible than not.
The auction coincided with the alchemy furnace auction, fortunately, there was no onmyoji in Chang'an City, although Zhu Yan said that it was a leak, but it still took a full 500 gold to auction it, which made his painful face twitch.
Although the Zhu family is a famous family, its economic income is not as good as those corrupt officials and profiteers in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and 500 gold is the annual income of the entire family.
