Chapter 281: The Sky Lives Up
The deep alleys are not at all like other places where the brick family lives, but it makes Lu Guan feel a little bit of a master in the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hmm...... This is it......" Looking at the doorway as a courtyard with some bolted horse pillars, Lu Guan was sure that he had found the wrong place.
"Is Old Xu at home?" Lu Guan asked, knocking on the door.
Seeing no response, Lu Guan knocked on the door again, and his voice raised a few points, only then did he hear an old voice inside respond: "Who......"
"Is Old Xu at home?"
"He's dead......"
"Ah?!No, I just learned from Mr. Liang Guodong that Mr. Xu should still be in the world......
"Who are you, how do you know Xiao Liang's ......?"
"I was introduced to him by a friend, and I asked him about a historical figure, who should be a native of Sichuan and Shu, called Zhao Yao......"
When the door opened, an old man who was thin but looked very energetic looked at Lu Guan with slanted eyes, and at first glance he was the kind of stubborn old man who was stubborn and refused to go with the flow.
"Your old ......"
"I'm Xu Tianxing, you just said you wanted to inquire about that historical figure?"
Zhao Yao...... His eldest brother's name is Zhao Xiao......" Lu Guan hurriedly said, and he didn't care if this Xu Tianxing was a fraud.
"What are you doing......" Xu Tianxing asked as he stared at Lu Guan with strange eyes.
"I promised a girl to help her find an answer, this answer is related to that Zhao Yao, he should be a border general in ancient times......" Lu Guan said this, Xu Tianxing closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then let open the door and motioned for Lu Guan to enter the door.
After entering the house, ......there is no luxury, it can be said that the rhythm of poverty is like a wash, and the whole house is still in addition to the roof and walls, and there is only a set of tables and chairs left.
As for the bedroom, there is no need to visit, after Lu Guan sat down, he listened to the painful sound of the stool, and he was really afraid that if he didn't sit down properly, he would be anal fissure.
"Wait here......" The old man said and walked to the side, Lu Guan's eyes glanced around, and the mobile phone clicked on it to look, there is nothing valuable in this house, but Lu Guan is sure that the most valuable thing here is probably this empty house.
The architectural style of this house, as well as the pattern of the horse pillar at the door, are at least from the early Ming Dynasty......
This alley is deep, and the other houses are all modern cement concrete, but this one is naturally a wooden structure, and even if the family is poor, it is clean and spotless.
"I'm afraid this old man fell out with his children for this old house, otherwise he shouldn't live here alone, how to say that he is also a famous historian, I'm afraid that in the old man's heart, this house is his life, and he would rather leave it to future generations, and he would not sell his ancestral family business for any demolition compensation, but why didn't he apply for protection from the Cultural Relics Bureau......" Lu Guan wondered a little.
After a while, Xu Tianxing walked out of the inner room and stared at a yellowed book, which seemed to be the same old-fashioned rope book.
"The Zhao Yao you mentioned is not, but there is a person named Zhao Liangcai, his eldest brother is called Zhao Xiao, a general in the early Ming Dynasty, but he was denounced by his family for killing his sister-in-law and nephew......"
"Hmm......" Xu Tianxing continued to rummage, but he didn't see Lu Guan's side with a complicated expression......
Killing his sister-in-law and nephew, it seems that Zhao Yao's investigation back then had a result, his wife was killed by his sister-in-law and nephew, and she drowned in the pond and died.
And he was also saddled with the stigma of ** and was removed from the identity of the clan, but this situation should be that he didn't make it clear and killed him directly.
Because among them, the old mother of his family is also one of the accomplices, and the torture of the Ming Dynasty has reached the point of being world-famous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one before and no one after him.
If the matter is clarified and the grievances are revealed, his old mother will definitely be implicated......
It's just that this hatred of killing a son and killing a wife is destined to turn brothers against each other......
"Hmm...... Got it...... Huh, weird...... This Zhao Yao ended up dying on the battlefield...... It's really strange......" Xu Tianxing looked at the content recorded in the ancient book and was amazed.
Then he looked at Lu Guan, and said with a complicated look in his eyes: "You said before that someone asked you to come, for this Zhao Yao's matter, who is that person, and what does it have to do with this Zhao family?"
"Old Xu...... I want to know, what kind of person did I do to kill my sister-in-law and nephew, how can I still have a chance to die on the battlefield...... You're an expert in history, why do you think that?"
"There are no more than two reasons, one is that the truth is extenuating because of the incident, and the other is that the border war is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions...... However, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the court was in charge of mediocrity and traitors, and there were also some black transactions in the matter of the law, and this is also possible..."Xu Tianxing said without thinking.
But what he said was reasonable, and after Lu Guan heard this, he told Xu Tianxing about the cry he heard in the barren mountain, which was regarded as thanking him for giving him an answer.
Zhao Yao did not live up to his wife's waiting, nor did he let his wife bear the stigma of future generations, not only killed his relatives with righteousness, but also achieved both loyalty and filial piety.
The heavens did not fail the woman's waiting, waiting until death without regret, although she did not know what happened later, but the future generations knew.
Lu Guan told the story, and the old man Xu Tianxing was also silent for a while, and then sighed......
"Old Xu...... Then can you help me see where that Zhao Yao is buried in the end?" Lu Guan asked the most crucial thing.
"There will be a record there, if you die on the battlefield, if you win, and someone collects the body, it should be buried at the border or in your hometown, if you lose, then it can only be a well-dressed grave......"
"Origin...... Or the well-dressed mound ......" Lu Guan's heart tightened, understanding the difference between the two, and also understanding that Xu Tianxing said that there would be two outcomes of victory and defeat.
After that, he asked where the battlefield of the border pass was, how his hostile foreigners would deal with the corpses of military merits, and then the specifications and layout of the general's tomb.
Xu Tianxing said frankly to Lu Guan, there is nothing to hide, in Xu Tianxing's words, his ancestors of the Xu family have been historians for generations, and being able to re-establish the dirty pen can be regarded as the legacy of his predecessors.
When Lu Guan was leaving, he talked to Xu Tianxing about the life of the old man and the matter of the rent......
"Alas...... The children only thought about buying a house in exchange for money, but they never thought that there were some things that he was more important than his life, and as for the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau, in fact, they had already come here, and when I died...... This is donated to the state...... Saying that you can't sell it to others is ruining the hard work of your ancestors......"
Xu Tianxing said frankly and openly, although he was stubborn, but he did not forget his roots, let alone lose the bottom line.
"Old Xu...... Gao Feng Liangjie...... "Lu Guan didn't tell Xu Tianxing that he paid for it, which was definitely insulting in Xu Lao's opinion.
Some people need money, but some people need support and understanding, admiration and respect.
When Lu Guan left, he left his business card to Xu Tianxing, and bluntly said that as long as there was anything to help, as long as it was in China, just call him.
