The next day, when the morning dawned, Zou Li went out on horseback. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFengyang, where Zou Shan lives, is about 200 miles away from Fangshan County, and Zou Li arrived in one day.

After inquiring, I got some interesting news. Zou Li was supposed to go directly to Zou Shan's house to explain the situation, and threw them dozens of taels of silver, and the poor and small families were still not grateful?

The investigation found that the Zou family was not local, but had moved from elsewhere decades ago. At the beginning, there were two shops in the family, and they were a little rich in the town, at least much richer than Zou Wu at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, the two shops closed due to poor management. The Zou Shan family had to use the little money they had to buy 100 acres of land in a secluded mountain village more than ten miles away from the town, and live on these fields.

Over the past few decades, the Zou family has branched out, in response to the old saying, the richer a person is, the more difficult it is to have a son. The more money you have, the more you give birth to children like piglets, one after another, don't care about anything, and grow up one by one, Zou Shan's family is like this.

Over the past few decades, from the first few people to the current seventy or eighty people, this little field has long been not enough to eat. Now, in addition to the first set of yards to be built, the later families are made of stone walls and grass tiles, and they are authentic peasant households.

The fields were not enough to eat, so I had to go up to the mountains to hunt and go out to work part-time to help with my life. It is really impossible to give your children to the rich as slaves, it is better than starving to death. Knowing this information, Zou Li did not rush in, but wanted to visit secretly first, so as not to leave any hidden dangers.

That night, as soon as it got dark, Zou Li was ready to stop and drifted in, first of all, to check the three-open and three-entry tile house. Scanning his senses, he found that there were about a dozen men sitting in the hall of the second entrance, four of them in their fifties and sixties, nine in their thirties and forties, and one in their eighteenth and eighteenth years old, discussing something.

Zou Li did not alarm them, but carefully checked in each room to see if there were any secrets hidden.

In a side room, Zou Li found a mark that shocked him.

This side room enshrines the ancestral tablets of the Zou family, but there is a mark on each tablet, and this mark Zou Li is also familiar with, that is, the longevity lock that his father Zou Wu carried, and the lock also has such a mark.

What's going on? Zou Li was blindsided all of a sudden. Could it be a coincidence? Zou Li didn't believe it even if he was killed, there must be some connection, but he just didn't know it. His father was less than two years old when he was found by the dart board, and he was dressed well, only this long-life lock was accompanied by the word Zou Wu, and his father's name was also derived from this.

It is said that this kind of thing is only available to rich and noble families. My father also made a private investigation for a few years, trying to find out what really happened and who killed his parents, but he didn't find anything useful, and then he slowly put it down.

This discovery must have been an important clue. Zou Li pondered for a while and came to the hall. said that it was a hall, but it was actually not big, a few people at a time, and half of it was gone.

"Third uncle, what should Qing'er do when Hu'er came back?" a man in a blue shirt in his forties in the hall asked anxiously to an old man.

The one sitting in the middle, although dressed very simply, has a floating atmosphere.

Zou Li was secretly surprised, he practiced immortal methods, and he had five layers of qi.

Then he glanced at the other people, and found that several of them had practiced exercises, but one was in the middle stage of a martial artist, two warriors were at the peak, and the other teenager was also cultivating to the immortal method and inducing three layers of qi, while the one who spoke was only a late samurai cultivator. What's going on?

The one in the middle sighed and said: "What can we do? Leave it to fate, the Liu family is so big that the Crouching Tiger Gang will be wiped out, what can we do, even if we want to go to the auction and buy it back, we have to have money." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been allowed to be a slave in someone else's house. ”

"That--- that ---, said at the beginning, Qing'er went to Liu's house, and after practicing for a few years, he went to the refining shop to refine the tools, and the Liu family's refining skills are famous in the entire Fangshan County, so he was allowed to go, and you all agreed at that time. Now that something has happened, I don't know if it was the one who bought him away. The master is good, it's okay, the master's family is not good, and Qing'er suffers. ”

The blue-shirted man was in a hurry, paused and said, "As soon as Hu'er comes back, Qing'er will look for me for her life, and I can't find the third uncle, how can I think of a way." ”

The old man in the middle looked at several old men on the left and right, and said, "Tell me about the fifth, sixth, and eighth brothers, what should we do?" When our four brothers and two nephews came here, the business was not good, and they were harmed by that unscrupulous housekeeper, and the family business was wiped out.

The old man who was called the fifth old man was in the middle of the martial arts master, he saw his name, and was silent for a while before saying: "This is also Qing'er's life, in this situation, I want money, I don't have money, I want strength, and my strength is not enough for a drop of saliva between people's teeth, what else can I do, I can only persuade Qing'er to more." ”

Seeing that the third uncle and his father were the same, the blue-shirted man turned his head to another man in a green shirt beside him and said, "Second brother, what do you say?"

The man in the green shirt was at a loss, and said: "What can I do? It's good that we can live now, if I hadn't been picked up by the third uncle, I might have been reincarnated by now! It's funny to think about it, listening to the third uncle, when the family was wealthy, the ancestors hoped that the ancestors would have a few more grandchildren, but as a result, the uncles and ancestors concentrated on cultivation, and each of them felt that they had made a great contribution to the family after giving birth to two.

You see, now, you have given birth to five, four boys and one girl, and I am not bad, three sons and two daughters, and the third, fourth, sixth, and seventh brothers have also given birth to more than three! Now the ancestor should be happy, but unfortunately there is no money for them to study and practice.

Up to now, in our generation, who has broken through the samurai? None of them are just the pinnacle of samurai. I don't think the younger generations are much better, they have all become authentic farmers. The second room is almost the same now, and when the robbers came, the big room and the second room were all returned to the clan to discuss matters, and the whole pot was served, and the whole was served.

The thirteenth uncle and the tenth uncle went to the second room to play and escaped the catastrophe. Without the military support of the big house, the old people and elders in the second room are gone, the business is soon gone, and the remaining money is used to buy some land, which is now planted, and no one is chasing and killing anymore, but there is no need to chase and kill. None of the two rooms plus the tenth and thirteenth uncles practiced martial arts, and you have seen this.

Although they don't know each other, they are doing worse than us now, aren't they? Only we have a fifth uncle, and no one in the town dares to bully us. At this point, his hands were clenched, trembling slightly, and a tear slid down his cheek.

The blue-shirted man shook his foot: "What did you do before? You can't help it, I--how can I go back and tell Qing'er's mother." ”

When Zou Li heard this, he vaguely felt that the Zou family might have something to do with his father. After thinking about it for a while, he turned out and took out a piece of wood, and wrote a few words: "Zou Qing was bought by the Zou family in Sanyang Town, Xincheng County, Xia County, if you want to know the details, you can go to the Zou Family Pharmacy in Sanyang Town to find Zou Wu." And a mark.

Then he inserted the wooden block into the wooden pillar in the hall, and threw a hundred taels of silver, and did not leave any more.

The old man in the middle waved his hand, "Old Five, don't check, people have already left, just don't go, who is the opponent of us, just look at the letter on the wooden pillar." ”

Several people in the hall came back to their senses after listening to the old man's words, and everyone felt a cold sweat: "If the other party wants to kill them, I'm afraid I won't know who killed them until they die!"

The fifth uncle stepped forward quickly, and only with a slight effort did he take out the letter, but the young man called Huzi exclaimed: "Silver, so much silver!"

When the people looked over and saw that there were about a hundred taels of silver in the baggage on the ground, they all looked puzzled, "Who is going to give them the silver?"

The old man in the middle still had the strength to cough lightly: "Let's read the letter first!"

As soon as the fifth uncle unfolded the letter, he exclaimed: "The family emblem is the family emblem,"

The old man in the middle glanced at Lao Wu dissatisfiedly: "I'm a lot old, I can't hold my breath, take it over, I'll take a look." As he spoke, he snatched it up.

Lao Wu rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Aren't I excited?"

The old man in the middle snorted softly, and the palace opened to read carefully. "Zou Wu!" another exclamation!

"Third brother, what's wrong with you, you just said I came. The fifth asked rhetorically.

"Fifth brother, do you remember that there used to be a person in our Zou family named Zou Wu. The old man in the middle asked
