Jiapingguan Chronicle

After Ying Wu finished speaking, the entire flower hall fell into silence. Everyone didn't know how to evaluate the Shen family's adopted son-in-law. They said he was shameless and scheming, or that others were not for themselves and would be punished by heaven and earth. These two statements were both Correct, but different people have different answers from different perspectives, and no one can explain it clearly.

"What happened next?" Xue Ruitian looked at Mr. Jiang and then at Ying Wu, "Didn't this Shen family's adopted son-in-law want to find the murderer for the Yue family and take revenge? Why did he suddenly return to the southern town?"

"He was very devoted and played the role of a revengeful man for more than half a year. However, the southern border was invaded by Japanese pirates again. The coach at the time wrote to the court and asked for reinforcements, so he was sent back to the southern border as reinforcements. As for later, why did he return to the southern border? If you continue to live in a small town in the south, no one will know about it." Ying Wu shook his head gently, "Maybe it's because he was judging the situation. He felt that the previous government was unstable, so he left that place of right and wrong early and lived his own little life! There are also Maybe he did such a wicked thing, and he was also afraid that he would be found out one day. After all, the gangsters and gangsters he hired were still alive, and he did give them generous rewards, but this was also a factor of uncertainty. , who knows when these people will jump out and bite them, right?"

"If you say that, it makes sense." Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "However, how could a guy like him, who has no profit and can't afford early, go to save Yelong's two sons for no reason? Their relationship is obvious Not really."

"The woman surnamed Liang said that because Yelong had already seen that the late emperor had hatred for him, he transferred the family property early. Even if the whole family was eventually wiped out and the family property was confiscated, it would only be a drop in the bucket of the real family property. Not worth mentioning."

"The last emperor really turned against his relatives and alienated all his relatives. Even his own generals were on guard against him."

"No." Ying Wu chuckled lightly, "The son-in-law of the Shen family didn't know where he got the news. He felt that those who finally knew the whereabouts of the Ye family's property should be Ye Long's two sons who escaped. , why when something happened to the Ye family, it was these two children who were traveling out, there must be something inside. That's why he stretched out his hand to save the two brothers when they were being hunted. Then he persuaded them to pretend to be his own child. In this case, the Ye family's property will also belong to him. "

"Sure enough, it's no good at all!" Xue Ruitian sneered, "It's impossible to say that he has bad intentions and can be cruel to his Yue family and kill everyone in his family. It's impossible for him to be kind-hearted. Adopting one’s enemy’s child really has a purpose!”

"That's for sure, but unfortunately, contrary to expectations, these two sons don't know where the Ye family's property is."

"Don't know?" Everyone was shocked, Qi Bo frowned slightly, "How could you not know?"

"Oh, I heard my father once said it." Shen Haolin nodded, "Yelong himself wants to use the family property as military supplies, and has no intention of leaving any property to his descendants."

"Exit the army?" Xue Ruitian was stunned, "This General Yelong is so courageous."

"Yes!" Shen Haolin sighed, "It's very admirable." He looked at Ying Wu, "But Yelong's son actually knows the whereabouts of the family property and how his father dealt with it, right? He just doesn't want to Tell the son-in-law of the Shen family, because they also know that the son-in-law of the Shen family is not actually his father's deputy general."

"What the Duke said is true, but at that time they were being hunted by the Emperor's people and had to find someone to rely on. Otherwise, they would not survive."

"These two sons are very courageous. They know clearly what kind of virtue the Shen family's adopted son-in-law is, but they can still swallow their anger." Merlin nodded, "But will the Shen family's adopted son-in-law believe that they don't know the whereabouts of the family property?"

"Of course I don't believe it, but it's not coercion or inducement, it's still an exchange. Anyway, the two parties have reached an agreement." Ying Wu sighed softly, "It's just that this son-in-law of the Shen family is not very lucky. , he later married several concubines, but none of them left any heirs. Either they had a miscarriage, or it was difficult to give birth, leaving one dead and two dead. Anyway, in the end, his only nominal heir was Yelong's. These two sons. After his death, all the Shen family property that the Shen family's son-in-law obtained through countless calculations went to these two sons of the Ye family."

"That's right!" Jin Miaomiao spat, "What's this called? It's like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain. After scheming for a lifetime, he ended up making a wedding dress for someone else. He killed his own in-law's family and gained the in-law's family. His reputation, status and property, but what is not his is not his after all, and what he has obtained through countless calculations still falls into the hands of others."

"That's right." Ying Wu nodded, "Yelong's two sons have no intention of restoring their original surnames. They think this is good. Their purpose is to get back the Ye family's property. , now that the Ye family no longer controls the army, the properties that were prepared for surrender to the army must be returned to their original owners, and they think this is natural."

"Indeed, from their point of view, it is natural, but what about the family property? Where can they find it in such a huge sea of ​​people?"

"Yelong originally exchanged all his property for banknotes, divided it into four equal parts, and gave them to his lieutenants, Ouyang, Qi, Fan, and Gao as mentioned by the Duke, and asked them to take the banknotes with them. Leaving the capital, we took the dead-end road to reach the southern border. But not long after the four lieutenants left, the Ye family was killed by the late emperor because Yelong offended the emperor. Later, it was the two remaining brothers who secretly After asking around, I found two of them, Qi and Fan, but there is no news about Ouyang and Gao until now."

"Qi and Fan?" Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow, "Are they looking for money from someone?"

"They looked for Fan, but they didn't dare to find him all, and they didn't dare to look for him."

"Why? That's their own money. It's natural for them to get it back. Why don't you dare to ask for it?"

"This Qi is none other than our old friend."

"Our old friend..." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought that they did have a good friend named Qi, and asked tentatively, "Isn't this the one you are talking about from Young Master Qi's family?"

"Boss Mingjian, that's exactly it." Ying Wu nodded towards Shen Cha, "The Qi family in the south courtyard of Linhuang Mansion, their ancestors took part of Yelong's family property and fled to Linhuang Mansion in the present Liao Kingdom. So I went there because of the Emperor's gift, because it was not only the two children of the Ye family who were hunted down at that time, but also Yelong's confidants. As one of the confidants, the Qi family was also hunted down. They had no choice but to hide in the territory of Liao Kingdom. However, when they went there, the Yelu family had not yet made a fortune, and they were just unknown people." "I heard that the Qi family and the Yelu family knew each other in At the end of the period, the main reason why the Yelu family was able to establish the Liao Kingdom was the Qi family. The Qi family used the whole family's strength and wealth to support the Yelu family." Shen Cha nodded and chuckled, "This This is the reason why Yelvertu, no matter how hostile he is to the Qi family or how he fears the Qi family, cannot do anything to his family. Moreover, the Qi family is not a family that bullies others, and does not claim to be the best family like the Xiao family. The descendants of Empress Dowager Xiao did not take others, even the Yelu family, seriously. Therefore, in Linhuang Mansion and even the entire Liao Kingdom, even the opponents of the Qi family praised their character. .”

"But the Qi family are all scholars. I didn't expect that the descendants of Vice Admiral Yelong would become like this."

"Although he is a scholar, he has a firm mind, which is not bad." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Look at Young Master Qi, although he is a scholar, he is not inferior to a military general at all, right?"

"Indeed."

"I didn't expect the Qi family to have such an origin." Merlin touched his chin and looked at Ying Wu, "Then there are three other families left. Where have they gone?"

"Xiao Linzi, did you lose your mind just now? Didn't you say before that Ouyang and Gao don't know, and they haven't found any whereabouts so far, but they still found the whereabouts of the Fan family." Ying Wu sighed softly. He took a breath and said, "The Fan family is not far away, and we also know that it is Tuesday's mother's natal family."

"Her natal family is actually a descendant of the Fan family?"

"Isn't it incredible?"

"Did you also change your name?"

"Yes, although his family's surname is Zhou, it was also a surname that was changed later. In that period of war, in that period of tyranny of the last emperor, people related to Yelong either changed their names and survived, or they were implicated and died. , or just like the Qi family, they fled to a place out of reach of the last emperor." Ying Wu shook his head helplessly, "The last emperor really... deserves to end up like that, he has done so many evil things. , he deserves it all.”

"In this way, Mr. Shen actually knows that the Zhou family is the Fan family. The reason why he insists on marrying the Zhou family is because he wants to use this marriage to get back the property that originally belonged to the Ye family. And the old man of the Zhou family tried his best to The main reason for matchmaking is this, right?”

"Yes, the boss is right. This is the main reason. The Fan family also agrees. After all, if you take other people's money, you must return it." Ying Wu nodded, "So, they just made this decision to deceive others. This baby is kissable. It doesn't matter whether Shen Zhonghe and Zhou Niang have feelings for each other or whether they want to get married. As long as the two of them are together, part of the Ye family's property will be returned. "

"No wonder the elders in the family don't let Zhou Zuiniang reconcile, and they don't even want Shen Zhonghe to take a concubine, because once they divorce, Zhou Zuiniang's dowry will be returned intact, and their plans will be in vain. They are all good at one thing. Calculating, but it is understandable that people are plotting against their own family property." Even so, Merlin still looked disgusted and said, "But just now, what did you mean when you said that Shen Zhonghe was not from the Shen family? Now Shouldn't the Shen family be the descendants of Ye Long? Isn't Shen Zhonghe? "

"No." Ying Wu shook his head gently, "The woman named Liang said that Mr. Shen himself is a descendant of Yelong, the elder brother of the two brothers, and Shen Zhonghe is a child adopted by his younger brother. , because the younger brother was weak and had no heirs, he adopted a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. The girl married to Jiangnan and lost contact early on, while the boy’s descendant is Shen Zhonghe.”

"It's so complicated!" Merlin clicked his tongue twice, "Mr. Shen doesn't have a son himself?"

"Yes, the Ye family's descendants are very rare. Ye Long only had four sons, and two of them died with him. The two who died had been married for three years and had no children. So, It’s very difficult for the Ye family to have heirs, but they think it’s normal.”

"So that's it. That is to say, since the two sons of Yelong, they have been separated. One has the blood of Yelong, Mr. Shen's lineage, and the other does not have the bloodline of Yelong, which is Shen Zhonghe. Pulse, right? But they all live together, right?"

"Yes, when we get to Mr. Shen, the two branches have only one child. One is Mr. Shen, and the other is Shen Zhonghe's biological grandfather. I don't know if it is a problem with the Ye family. Anyway, the two brothers together, except for the surname Among Liang's women, Shen Zhong and his father are the only ones."

"It's not even the one from Yelong..." Merlin shook his head helplessly, "This is really weird."

"The relationship between their families is really messy. In other words, Shen Zhonghe is not a descendant of the Ye family at all. Therefore, according to Mr. Shen's idea, the Ye family's property can only be handed over to his illegitimate daughter. But it happened to be his. An illegitimate daughter can only appear in front of everyone as an adopted daughter and as a housekeeper, otherwise, her reputation will be bad and her only daughter will be affected."

"Sister Miao Miao is right. He thinks his nephews and grandnephews are easy to handle. With them as a shield for his daughter, his daughter can live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, his grandnephews have their own ideas and start to disobey him. Then, he insisted on joining the army and made a name for himself. Mr. Shen began to feel a sense of crisis, so before he passed away, he told his daughter that he must keep the family business and not let this wild boy take away the Ye family's property. Walk."

"All of these are justified, but if she wants property, she needs property. She can just take out Mr. Shen's will. But why target Tuesday's mother, Xiaobao, and Hui's mother?" Mei Lin frowned slightly, and was very concerned about this approach. I don’t understand, “Is it because Mr. Shen doesn’t have a will?”

"Yes!" Ying Wu was a bit dumbfounded, "I asked her the same thing, but she said that after searching her house, she couldn't find her father's will. Therefore, in order to fulfill her father's last wish, she had no choice but to eradicate it. She said that if With Tuesday's mother, Hui's mother and Xiaobao dead, Shen Zhonghe will have no descendants, so the Ye family's property will return to its original owner."
