Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Xiao Zhanpeng looked embarrassed, and they didn't know how to answer Sha Fu for a while.

Mrs. Sha didn't care, she just smiled slightly, and then said, "Soon after that person entered the patriarch's house, he walked out with the patriarch and the patriarch. Behind them were the two grandsons of the patriarch's grandmother. These two are the same generation as my father, and I call them the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle. These two people have always been high-flying in the clan, and we, the juniors, are very afraid of them.

"At that time, I was hiding on the roof of an old house, and when I saw these people with solemn faces, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. I know that the patriarch's martial arts are unfathomable, and his two grandsons are even more ruthless, if I am found hiding and peeping, not only will I be punished by Shentang, but I am afraid that my father and two brothers will also be implicated. It was because I was lying on the roof, not even daring to take a breath.

I could only hear the sound of footsteps, and the four of them walked all the way to the door of the old house where I was. I listened to a few people and the man hiding behind the tree exchange a few words of greeting, and I thought that the man had also appeared. I only heard the uncle say: 'The two of you have worked tirelessly to come to our remote place, and they should have put on a big banquet to catch the wind for the two of you. It's just that the matter is confidential, and we can only temporarily follow the power. Although our family village is inhabited by brothers of the same clan, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be infiltrated by Jinyiwei. Only this ancestral hall is the most important place for our family, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot on it. Let's talk about things here. ’

"Uncle Uncle's voice fell, and he only heard a very sharp voice say: 'It's easy to say, let's not come here from the capital to enjoy happiness.' As long as you get things done properly, you're afraid that you won't have any wine to eat in the future?'

"Only then did I realize that in order not to be seen by the man hiding behind the tree, I accidentally jumped to the roof of the ancestral hall. In our Fang family, women are never allowed to step into the ancestral hall, and I lie on the roof, which is even more disrespectful to the ancestors, if people find out, they will either be tied up and stoned to death by the clansmen, or put into a bamboo cage and sink into the pond to drown alive. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tremble all over my body, and I just wanted to sneak away.

"It's just that I know that these people are all extremely high martial arts people, but I'm afraid that if I move a little on the roof, they will be discovered, so I lie on the roof and don't dare to move. The old house, which was made of large glazed tiles on the roof, had fallen into disrepair, and some of the tiles were not tightly fitted. I inadvertently glanced down, and I could see the scene inside the ancestral hall clearly through the gap between the two tiles. This old house looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior is very wide. On the wall in the middle hangs a portrait that is more than a foot tall. The painting depicts a person wearing a helmet and armor, dressed as a military general, with a bearded face, and even rough and heroic.

"I thought to myself, this person is the ancestor of my family. No wonder the clansmen are so respectful to him, it turns out that the ancestor is also an official, and he is also a military general, but I don't know who his surname is and which dynasty he is an official.

"I was thinking about it, but I saw the five people in the room standing in front of the portrait, the patriarch and the old lady standing in the front, the two guests standing on either side of him, and the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle standing behind the patriarch and the old lady. The five men respectfully kowtowed three times in front of the portrait before standing up.

"After the guests and hosts were seated, the thin man who went to the patriarch's residence among the two guests said, "Old lady Fang, I will introduce you below. After speaking, he pointed to the man in his thirties who came with him and said, "This is our Dongchang secret envoy, Brother Zhuang Yulou." ’”

As soon as Mrs. Sha said this, Li Qiufeng's face changed greatly, and he didn't seem to believe his ears.

When Mrs. Sha spoke, her eyes kept wandering on the faces of Li Qiufeng and the other three, and at this time, she happened to see Li Qiufeng's expression, but she was also slightly stunned, and said, "Li Gongzi, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Sha, do you really remember that the person's name is Zhuang Yulou?"

Mrs. Sha nodded and said, "The conspiracy of those people is an earth-shattering event, which is related to the life and death of our family, so although more than ten years have passed, I remember every word of everyone clearly." The thin man did say that his companion was called Zhuang Yulou. Does Li Gongzi know this person?"

Li Qiufeng smiled and said, "I don't know, I've dealt with him for a lot of miles." To tell the truth, Li was able to come to Guibao this time because he was lured by this person. ”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Sha and Murong Danyan were both in their hearts, but Xiao Zhanpeng let out an "ah" and said, "Brother Li, didn't you say that Zhuang Hengyun used Miss Murong to trick you here?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Not bad. Before Zhuang Hengyun joined the Five Tiger Villa, his name was Zhuang Yulou, and he was a famous one-legged thief in the rivers and lakes. ”

When Murong Danyan heard the words "Zhuang Hengyun", he couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "How could it be him? Although this person is the second owner of the Five Tigers Villa, his martial arts are not remarkable, and he is not a first-class master in the rivers and lakes. I didn't think that more than ten years ago, he would be a person from Dongchang......"

Li Qiufeng said: "This person is sleek, deeply hidden, and is an extremely difficult character to mess with. Miss Murong, if you see this person in the future, be careful. I'm afraid that his martial arts and wisdom are far above Tang He. He has already arrived in Shajiabao with the masters of the East Factory, and it is very likely that he and Yanagi Zongyan are planning behind the scenes at this Shajiabao Conference. ”

Mrs. Sha said: "It turns out that this person is so good, but I didn't expect it. That day, I heard that this Zhuang Yulou was the secret envoy of the East Factory, and I was slightly stunned. Although I grew up in Fang's family since I was a child, I have never left the old mansion, but I have also heard the name of Dongchang mentioned by the elders, and I know that it is a well-known murderous demon cave in the capital. It's just that among the Fang family, the most feared thing is not Dongchang, but Jinyiwei. I didn't know why.

After the thin man finished speaking, he heard Zhuang Yulou smile and said, "Old lady Fang, look up for a long time. The patriarch and the old lady also said a few polite words, and then said to Zhuang Yulou: "Lord Zhuang, it's not that the old man can't trust you, it's really that Gonggong Xu once had an agreement with the old man, if there is no token given by Gonggong Xu, you must not reveal half of the truth." If Lord Zhuang wants to talk about this matter with the old man, he must have seen the token of Gonggong Xu, and the old man can obey his fate. ’

"That Zhuang Yulou smiled and said, "This is natural, Old Lady Fang, please take a look." As he spoke, he took something out of his bosom and handed it to the patriarch. After the patriarch took it, he fiddled with it in his hand, and then respectfully handed it back to Zhuang Yulou, and said, "It is indeed the token of Gonggong Xu, and the old man has offended." ’

"Zhuang Yulou said: 'Old lady Fang is cautious, which makes Zhuang admire. What we are doing is an earth-shattering event, if we are not careful, we will be in danger of extinction, and we need the help of a cautious person like Old Lady Fang the most, so that we can accomplish great things!'

"The patriarch and the old lady said a few words of humility, but listened to the Zhuang Yulou said: 'It's not a secret, there is a treacherous turmoil in the court at the moment, and all the ministers who have befriended the foreign domains are secretly active. Although the emperor still trusts Gonggong Zhang, he can't stand the young people doing things behind his back, which makes Gonggong Zhang very difficult now. The secret report handed over by the spies sent by our Dongchang and Jinyi Wei in several princes' mansions, Gonggong Zhang did not dare to hand it over to the emperor in person, so as not to end up with a charge of inciting the royal blood to kill each other, so he had to be handed to the emperor by other eunuchs. It's just that now the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi are performing their duties, and although they are respectful and respectful to Zhang Gonggong on the surface, they actually have their own ghosts. Gonggong Zhang has already received the news that the relationship between the eunuch Bingbi and the Xingxian palace of Huguang is extraordinary. ’”

When Mrs. Sha said this, Li Qiufeng's heart was full of joy, and she thought secretly: "It turns out that Dongchang has suspected that Xingxian Wangfu has bad intentions. The 'Gonggong Zhang' in Zhuang Hengyun's mouth is thought to be Zhang Yong, the most trusted eunuch of the first emperor. This person is not only good at exercising authority, but also has the best martial arts. With his wisdom, it is unbelievable that he will be defeated in the hands of Xingxian Wangfu in the end. ”

But I heard Mrs. Sha say: "When Zhuang Yulou said this, everyone in the ancestral hall was silent, thinking about their own thoughts. After a while, I heard the eldest uncle say: "Lord Zhuang, our Fang family has been taken care of by Master Zhang, and we have survived so far. If Master Zhang has any orders, just say it. Zhuang Yulou laughed and said, "Old lady Fang, your eldest grandson, but you are very knowledgeable!" The patriarch laughed a few times and said: "What do you know about the little child's family?" It's just that the old man has said to these grandsons and brothers and daughters that the whole Fang family has a hundred and ten people, and they can live safely and soundly to this day under the strict supervision of Jinyiwei, thanks to the grace of Gonggong Zhang and Gonggong Xu, great kindness, and will never forget. ’”

When Mrs. Sha said this, she sighed, and then said: "At that time, I didn't know what the Fang family had done all these years, and why they were afraid of Jinyiwei like this. It's just that the old lady who speaks the same in the clan is so humble, and it is quite strange in his heart. ”
