The trunk of the banyan tree is so thick that it takes at least five or six people to carry it. Some of the roots were bare on the ground, and five or six old men sat on the abrupt roots and chatted. Not far from the banyan tree, there is a high platform made of stones, and there is a well on the high platform, and a reel is erected on the well, and on the edge of the well, several women are washing vegetables and chatting.

On the north side of the banyan tree, there is a more eye-catching courtyard gate. There are stone steps under the courtyard gate, and there is a roof ridge on the courtyard gate, and there are small black tiles on the roof ridge.

A courtyard door was ajar.

Seeing Director Lu and his entourage walking towards the big banyan tree, several women on the well stopped making noise; Several old men sitting under the banyan tree slowly stood up.

"Captain Liu, the person wearing the black mink hat is Daddy Rong." Zhao Datong said as he walked over to a few people.

"Zhao Gong'an, who are you looking for?" A slightly younger old man wearing a military cotton cap said.

"Daddy Rong, we have something to do with you." Zhao Datong walked up to Daddy Rong.

In Liu Dayu's eyes, Daddy Rong's age is about sixty-five years old, and his age among several old people is relatively young, and this kind of thing is not determined by age.

"Director Lu, what are you looking for me?" Father Rong looked at the road chief and said.

Father Rong wears a sheepskin coat on his upper body, a pair of old cotton pants on his lower body, and a pair of cotton shoes on his feet. Probably because the mink hat is too big, Daddy Rong's face looks relatively small.

Daddy Rong was holding a cigarette gun about forty centimeters long.

"Daddy Rong, can you borrow a place to talk?" The road chief said.

Father Rong's eyes swept over Liu Dayu and his party: "Director Lu, these people don't seem to be from your police station. ”

Daddy Rong's eyes were really tight.

"Daddy Rong, shall we talk here?" Director Lu did not answer Daddy Rong's question. Liu Dayu and his entourage have not officially intervened in this case, so it is not appropriate to disclose their identities for the time being.

"Let's go and talk at home." Father Rong hesitated for a moment, and then led Director Lu and Zhao Datong towards the half-hidden courtyard gate. Other old people stayed under the banyan tree.

The courtyard of Daddy Rong's house is as long as the ancient banyan tree in front of the door, and as soon as Liu Dayu and his party walked into the courtyard, they felt the breath of history. There are a total of nine houses in the courtyard, and the author refers to the south-facing main house, all of which are all black tiles and blue brick walls.

Father Rong led everyone into the hall of the three houses in the middle.

On the wall above the strip hung several photo frames, and in the middle of the frame was a photograph of a Qing official dressed in the costume of a Qing dynasty official—a portrait to be exact.

Obviously, the ancestor of the Rong family was an official in the imperial court. Father Rong is highly respected in Guli Village, in addition to his high seniority, I am afraid it is also related to his illustrious family background!

As soon as everyone sat down on the mahogany chairs, a woman about thirty-five years old brought in a large tea tray with a purple sand teapot and six purple sand teacups with lids.

Father Rong sat on a chair near the door, filled the pot with tobacco leaves, and lit it with a match.

The woman placed the teacups one by one on the coffee table next to the chair, and placed the tea tray and teapot on the large table.
