After entering the village.

The buildings that catch the eye are all the kind of blue brick and black tile houses.

Some houses are even adobe or rammed-earth tiled houses. Walk along a cement road in the village, until you reach the front and see a large courtyard, which is her house.

In ancient times, this must have been a mansion.

But.

Now it's dilapidated.

The red lacquer door has already fallen off, and it is very rotten.

After pushing the door open.

In the compound.

There was an old man.

He has a long braid.

His long braids were all white.

Moreover, wearing a gray and even patched robe, holding a cane, knocking on the ground, and walking around with his hands outstretched.

The ground in the courtyard is paved with green bricks.

The crutches clattered on the ground.

When the door opens.

The old man looked up as if looking towards the door.

It's just that almost only the whites of his eyes remain.

Looks a little scary.

"Is Aqin back?"

The old man asked in a hoarse voice.

"Grandpa, it's me, have you eaten?"

While speaking, Aunt Aqin immediately walked over and supported the old man.

And then.

There was a boy in the room, about thirteen or fourteen years old.

He said.

"Mom, grandpa he doesn't eat, he said, he will eat when you come back."

This boy should be the little girl's older brother, and the brother and sister look quite alike.

Ah Qin said immediately.

"Grandpa, I'm just going to the county seat, don't worry!"

"Alas...... You never came back at night, so what would happen to this family if something happened? ”

The old man asked rhetorically.

The tone of his speech was very similar to that of an ancient scholar.

Sounds weird.

Later, I sat down in the house and talked for a while.

Originally.

This old man is a talent in the late Qing Dynasty.

They are now 107 years old.

When he was a child, he passed the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination all the way, and he won the first place and won the honor of Xiao Sanyuan. At that time, the best grades were called Liao Shansheng.

This old man just thought that he was a good student.

That is, among the talents, the one with the highest status.

The state will also distribute food to him on a monthly basis, so that they can study with peace of mind. It's a pity that just after taking the Xiucai exam and becoming a Liao Shansheng, the Qing Dynasty perished.

And he only enjoyed the treatment of distributing food on a monthly basis for two months.

Learned in the chat.

This old man's name is Liu Quanju.

The little girl, called Liu Ying'er, before, I only heard Aunt A Qin say that the little girl's name was Ying'er, but I didn't know that her surname was Liu. Her brother's name is Liu Jidi.

The woman's name is Fan Aqin.

There is no one else in this family except these people.

In fact.

In the past, this family was also prosperous.

Liu Quanju has three sons and one daughter.

The daughter is married far away, in a foreign country.

Three sons, under the eldest son, a son and a daughter, are Liu Yinger and Liu Jidi. The second and third sons are not yet married. A few years ago, when Fan Aqin was still pregnant with a child, the family said that she was going to do business in other places, but as a result, after she went out, there was no trace until now.

Listening to these things of the six families, Zhang Yi was thinking.

The Liu family in Jinshan Village, that is definitely not another Liu family.

So.

He asked directly.

"Mr. Liu, you should be a descendant of Liu Kongzhao, right?"

When the question seems to be asked a little suddenly.

Liu Quanju was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to become a little wary, and he immediately asked.

"How do you know?"

"Mr. Liu, actually, don't worry, I have no malicious intent. It's just through some channels that I found out the seclusion of Uncle Chengyi, which is your Jinshan Village, but I didn't expect to see Aunt Aqin again in the county seat. Actually, I came to your village just to know what happened to Liu Kongzhao, I don't know, can you tell me one or two? ”

Zhang Yi asked.

"That's all about the time of Nanming, how would I know? If you want to do business, stay at home, there is a place at home, and Aqin will help you clean it up, so you can stay. If you want to inquire about this matter, please leave as soon as possible! ”

Mention it.

Liu Quanju's attitude suddenly became very unkind.

Of course.

This was expected by Zhang Yi.

At the same time, this just shows that Liu Quanju knows some truths.

Zhang Yi is naturally mentally prepared, after all, behind Liu Kongzhao, there must be a shocking mystery hidden. This secret, naturally, is not known to everyone.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yi said.

"There is a tomb of Liu Kongzhao in Jinshan Village, but that tomb is just a mound of his clothes!"

This matter, in the Liu family, must be top secret.

Because, its existence is to cover up the truth about Liu Kongzhao's going to sea.

said this sentence also to show that Zhang Yi is no longer an outsider.

Liu Quanju was really stunned.

He didn't speak.

Aunt Aqin next to her said.

"How can it be a well-dressed mound? The tomb of Uncle Cheng Cheng is on the slope of the grave in our village, and he goes to the grave every year! ”

"The tomb of Jinshan Village is indeed just a mound of clothes! I know for sure! As far as I know, when the tomb was built, Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity uncle, had not yet died, he should still be alive at that time, but quietly left Jinshan Village, went to the sea, and did a very secret thing! ”

When he finished saying this, Liu Quanju couldn't sit still.

He stood up.

His eyes couldn't see it, but he still kept rolling his eyes, trying to see Zhang Yi's face clearly.

"Who the hell are you? Who told you all this? ”

Liu Quanju asked.

The matter had already involved the shocking mystery of the Liu family, so his tone became more and more serious.

"Old Liu, what I know is not what others told me!"

"And how do you know?"

"I saw Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of the uncle, in another place with my own eyes!"

"Impossible! It's been hundreds of years, how could you possibly see him? ”

Liu Quanju said sharply.

Zhang Yi explained.

"It's not him, it's his corpse!"

Liu Quanju was silent.

Zhang Yi continued.

"He is wearing a red python robe, and he also carries a Tian Huangshi seal, there are six words on the seal, sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, I think, it will not be wrong!"

Of course.

Liu Kongzhao's seal, Zhang Yi carried.

After all, it was Liu Kongzhao's relic.

Zhang Yi didn't want to keep it for himself.

Since he has found Liu Kongzhao's descendants so smoothly now, Zhang Yi still decided to return Liu Kongzhao's seal to his descendants.

Zhang Yi turned around and glanced at Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen nodded knowingly.

From his bag, he took out the jade Hantian yellow seal and gave it to Zhang Yi.

And then.

Zhang Yi put the Tian Huangshi seal on Liu Quanju's hand.

Liu Quanju held the seal, very careful, his hands full of old skin, at the bottom of the seal, gently stroked.

He nodded.

"Yes, this thing is really the seal of my Liu family's ancestors!"

Liu Quan's hand trembled, and he was very excited when he saw this.
