Chapter 23 Murder
Changzhou, Xucheng.
In the teahouse, most of the visitors talked about the rebellion of the East Army in Yezhou Town.
"I heard that He Zong was reincarnated by Tianshaxing. When he defected to Qing Kingdom, the Imperial Heavenly Prison saw that this man had a rebellious face and suggested killing him. The ancestor was against the crowd and finally accepted it... I didn't expect that the backlash would be brought back at this time!"
"What's the point of talking about this later? The Imperial Heavenly Prison is 80% rumored, but this person's reincarnation of Tianshaxing may be true. It is said that he has slaughtered several cities..."
Even in the chaotic times, when the diners around him still couldn't help but tremble when they heard the tragic incident of the city massacre.
Duan Yu took a sip of hot tea and looked at the weather, but he secretly planned: "It was probably the battle of Yaocheng at this time? Should Qin Feiyu give him the strategy to be promoted to a higher level? Chen Ce probably liked this plan very much... After all, he thought of it himself in his previous life..."
Even though he had the previous knowledge, he would not have expected that Qin Feiyu would be appointed as the striker and first made a merit of seizing the city.
"It's He Zong... he acts a bit strange, giving people a sense of hysteria!"
If you use heavy punishments in troubled times, it is nothing to massacre the city. Maybe it can deter other counties and cities, forcing them to surrender.
But the city massacre was a terrible heart, and no one would be willing to defect to such a murderer.
"I didn't feel it much in my previous life, but when I saw it together, I was full of despair... Could it be that I was fooled by Dong Chen?"
Although the thief was destroyed very quickly and entered the countdown after fighting with Chen Ce, Duan Yu still keenly realized that something was wrong and almost guessed the truth.
"Dong Chen did not want these two family slaves, so he deliberately instigated rebellion and was the pioneer of the king, but he did not support him, so he asked him to die and was ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman? But who would have thought that He Zong would be defeated so quickly?"
Dong Chen's wishful thinking was indeed good, but there was a change. After all, even the governor Xia Wujiu had been killed before, and no one would have thought that He Zong would fail at Chen Ce's hands.
If you lose such a good opportunity, the general led by Dong Chen would not have any good results afterwards.
"The Black Yanshan incident has been completed, and this time we will come to settle Zhang Fuji..."
In addition to the three evils, Duan Yu believed that he had done his best to Heifeng Village. Although he took away a nearby inheritance, it was not the other party's thing after all.
Therefore, he left without any delay, and he did not care about Wuying's reluctance or retention. Although the old village chief seemed to be very willing to take care of him, Yingzi was willing to come...
"My goal in this life, whether it is practice or power, must stand at the top of the world!"
Duan Yu shook his head secretly, inquired all the way, and then came to Dagongfang.
This is an ordinary alley in the city. It is named after the archway at the entrance of the alley. Duan Yu went to take a look and said that it was to praise a meritorious minister.
It’s just that the world has changed, and the descendants of that hero may not have been here for a long time.
However, Duan Yu didn't look for them, so he immediately found a dentist and asked about the Zhang family in Dagongfang, which wanted a wealthy family. His ancestors had a county magistrate.
As a result, the scope will naturally be greatly reduced, with only two companies, and finally the one that has disappeared was eliminated.
Following the instructions, I came to a large mansion.
The yard is built in a very grand manner, surrounded by high walls on all sides, all made of blue bricks, three meters high, like a small dock fort.
The facade is majestic, with a main entrance and four side doors. At this time, the door is open, showing that the inner courtyard is spacious, carved beams and painted roofs, which are majestic.
On the wall of the main gate, there is also a stone carving with the words "Jinyu Family Voice" written on it. There is also a row of vertical characters on the right, nominating "Zhang Qianzhi" and a four-sided seal, which is "Zi Teng Zhai Master".
"A such a house, the main hall room is probably more than a hundred rooms, and a clan can install it!"
Duan Yu could not help but sigh deeply in the power of the aristocratic family, but at this time, he felt a bit indescribable and destructive.
He was a little confused and couldn't help but enter it. There was no special door to stop him. He caught someone and asked, "Is this Zhang's residence?"
"Who are you?"
The person caught was in his thirties, wearing a cotton coat full of patches and a thin face. At this time, he looked at Duan Yu and was a little wary.
"Answer me, this is yours!"
Duan Yu was too lazy to make noise and directly shone a piece of silver.
This man was also a man with dark eyes and could not stand the silver. He immediately said, "The Zhang family was defeated several generations ago... Are you looking for someone? That's right, they are all in the back home garden..."
Although this person was confused, Duan Yu gradually understood as he listened.
The Zhang family's ancestors were rich and their poetry and books were passed down. They were originally a big family in the county, but later, the war and the civil affairs were in turmoil. Several generations of prodigal sons were born one after another, and they were ruined.
By the previous generation, they were almost extremely poor and rented out their ancestral homes.
It was said that it was renting, but in fact, when the man in that house went there, he almost sold it. Anyway, the few families he moved into, and some gangsters, all of whom took advantage of it, just like vultures who ate rot.
"The family is also pitiful now. A widow takes her mother-in-law and her children... Maybe she will starve to death at any time..."
The man was also a little sad when he talked about it.
"I've given it to you!"
Duan Yu threw out the silver, found the back door, and went in from there.
Originally, this place should be a garden with a huge range, but it was already deserted at this time. Occasionally, it was broken walls and ruins, as if they were in the wild.
However, a thick locust tree in the corner is very eye-catching, probably over 500 years old.
In a corner of the wall, there are several low houses, crooked and slanted, which is very different from what you see in front.
Dongdong!
I knocked on the door, and it took a long time before a response came.
"Ahem... why are you here again? This is ancestral property and cannot be sold..."
When the door opened, a woman was seen as having a haggard appearance. Although she was only middle-aged, she had gorgeous hair and looked old, and she looked sad. When she saw Duan Yu, she was stunned.
"Aunt, you misunderstood!" Duan Yu Yili said: "I am an old friend of the Zhang family. I heard that his genius is here, come and take a look..."
"Mom...I'm hungry!"
At this moment, a small head stretched out from behind the woman, her face full of praying.
"Oh..." Duan Yu could only sigh when he saw this scene.
It is obvious that orphans and widows are the most vulnerable to exploitation and persecution at this time, and it is not easy for this couple to survive until now.
I didn't say much at this time. Seeing Zhang Fuji's advice on several herbs, he gave him a few dollars to buy rice. Seeing that they were thin, they even pulled a few feet of cloth.
Not long after, the long-lost smoke rose. Zhang cooked a pot of rice porridge, but he accused him of guilt and went to the inner room to serve his mother-in-law.
After a while, he came out and scooped another bowl for the child, and then he bowed to Duan Yuying: "Thank you, young master, this really saved our lives..."
"Forget it, I don't want to ask more about how you got to this point, it's just one thing..."
Duan Yu hesitated when he said this.
Using this family situation, telling them that the money burying is probably not about saving people, but about harming people.
"I'm really sorry... this has ancestral teachings, and you can't sell ancestral property... I'll owe the cloth rice before, and I will definitely pay it back in the future..." Although he looked dirty, Zhang was still very determined.
"You misunderstood, but what happened to the front yard?"
Duan Yu chatted for a few more words before he realized that this family was indeed a direct descendant of the Zhang family and had the last bit of blood.
As for the front yard, there were rented out and occupied by the wife. When the man in this family was still there, he might have given some copper coins. When the man died, he would turn against him.
"The world is getting worse and worse, but people's hearts are not as good as ever..." Duan Yu shook his head secretly, measured it, and decided to say it.
At this moment, a Taoist rushes in: "Zhang, can you agree to what I said before?"
When he saw Duan Yu, he was stunned.
Little did Duan Yu suddenly saw this Taoist, and his palms tightened and he felt a little murderous intent.
He recognized this Taoist as a person from the Zhengyang Taoist Sect. This Zhengyang Taoist is one of the ten great Taoist veins. There are many true cultivation in the sect, and the Taoist temples are dependent on the outer side. In his previous life, he was one of the masterminds behind the support of the Hu people's iron cavalry going south!
The Taoist man was named Niu Ji. It is said that he was a casual cultivator and later joined the Zhengyang Dao and became a real person.
For a period of time, they competed with themselves in their previous life, and each had their own victory or defeat.
‘Is he not yet entered the Zhengyang Taoist Sect at this time?’
Duan Yu knew that the murderous intent was inappropriate at this time, so he forced himself to endure it.
"Who is this person?"
Niu Ji was a little surprised when he saw Duan Yu. When he saw the white porridge in the pot, he felt secretly hated: "I'm a big deal!"
"This is my friend..." Zhang whispered in a low voice, but his expression was quite firm: "Master Taoist, I appreciate it, but the ancestral property cannot be sold, otherwise how can I meet the ancestors and ancestors in the nine springs?"
"Zhang..." Niu Ji was furious when he heard this: "Stop being shameless, do you think Dao can't cure you? Don't you think, can those people in the front yard tolerate you? Still living here? Aren't you afraid that you will die suddenly that day, and with your child and mother-in-law? It's better to listen to this and take the money and fly away. This is the right way..."
'It turns out that Niu Ji also fell in love with this house... Yes, even though he is still a casual cultivator now, it is no problem to use some means to scare away the rogue tenants in the front yard. The house alone is a huge fortune... Wait for a moment!'
Thinking of what Zhang Fuji said about burying silver and Niu Ji's later success, Duan Yu seemed to have discovered a key!
‘Can’t this mansion and the buried gold and silver are the first pot of gold that Niu Ji made his fortune?’
The so-called martial arts warriors are some casual practitioners who know only a few words from classics and learn some tips.
They often have not entered the Taoist vein, and some have never even established a foundation, but they have lived a very comfortable life with one or two small spells.
