Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 42 It turns out that the backhand is here to stay!

Wang Xijue's whole body was about to burst open, his pupils were shaking, and for a moment he even wanted to run away again!
  Six years ago, Zhang Juzheng knelt in front of him; today, six years later, Zhang Juzheng's son knelt in front of him again!

Wang Xijue seriously suspected that these two men were both madmen! Why do you always like to kneel down when you have nothing to do? What a perverted hobby!
  Suppressing his desire to escape, Wang Xijue took a deep breath and told himself that the person kneeling in front of him was no longer Zhang Juzheng with a knife on his neck, but Zhang Juzheng's son, a child who was only six years old.

Wang Xijue lifted Zhang Jingxiu up from the ground, suppressed his excitement and asked, "What are you doing?"

After getting up, Zhang Jingxiu followed the instructions taught by his eldest nephew and stuck directly to Wang Xijue's body like brown candy. He said, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, uncle, please help me, uuuuuu..."

"Don't cry yet. Who asked you to come to me? Also, what do you want me to help you with?" Wang Xijue was still doubting in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong with this doll coming to him for help out of nowhere.

Zhang Jingxiu wiped his tears, ignored the previous question, and only replied: "My eldest brother will be buried in two days, but he doesn't even have a decent shroud. I want you to buy me an expensive one." Can I give him some shrouds?"

"Ah?" Wang Xijue was stunned, thinking that Zhang Juzheng's son is so shameless? Reach out and ask for it?

"Don't worry, I won't let you pay for nothing. Although I don't have any money, I..." Zhang Jingxiu suddenly became mysterious as he spoke. He waved to Wang Xijue and motioned for the other person to get closer to his ear.

Wang Xijue was a little strange, but he still leaned over and heard the doll whisper mysteriously against his ear: "Although I don't have money, I have a priceless treasure."

Hearing this, Wang Xijue suddenly turned cold and asked: "Who asked you to come to me? A priceless treasure? Your home has been ransacked, where did the treasure come from!"

Wang Xijue is almost certain that the purpose behind the little baby in front of him is definitely not simple!
  Putting aside the fact that the Zhang family had been confiscated, where did the treasure come from? They had just met, and this little kid didn't even know who he was, so he took the initiative to kneel down and beg him?

Wang Xijue knew very well that he was not a golden body of a Bodhisattva that people would want to worship upon seeing him. He didn't need to look at it, someone must be instigating this child behind his back!

The child in front of him blushed again and stopped talking. Wang Xijue was not in a hurry, just waiting to see how this child could lie.

"Actually...well, someone did ask me to come to you." Zhang Jingxiu seemed to have seen through his mind and sighed:
  "It was my sister-in-law who asked me to come to you. She said that although you forced my father to almost commit suicide, she often heard my father and my elder brother say that you just treat the situation differently. In fact, you are not a bad person."

Wang Xijue was stunned when he heard these words. Could it be that Zhang Juzheng... really looked at him like this?

In his ears, Zhang Jingxiu continued to speak, still helpless and sighing:
  "My sister-in-law initially wanted me to go find Mr. Yu, but he hasn't shown up in the past two days. Not to mention Mr. Yu, even Shilang Qiu, Luo Qianhu, and Eunuch Zhang haven't shown up either.

My eldest brother will be buried in two days, and we have no choice but to place our hope on you, hoping that you will do what my father said, only dealing with things and not people. So, will you help us? "

After Zhang Jingxiu finished speaking, he cast an expectant look at Wang Xijue, waiting for his reply.

"Didn't your house get confiscated? Where did you find this priceless treasure?" Wang Xijue asked.

"I don't know how my sister-in-law hid it." Zhang Jingxiu said and took out a jade pendant from his arms very casually. It didn't seem to be anything valuable, just an ordinary thing. When Wang Xijue saw the little baby being so casual, he just thought it was not a valuable item, but when he took it and inspected it, he was shocked!
  Although he didn't understand jade, he still recognized that this was the finest Hetian white jade. Even if he didn't understand jade, this exquisite carving technique was rare in the world. It was clearly made by a famous craftsman.

Wang Xijue even felt that this jade pendant was almost as exquisite as the one worn by the emperor!

At the same time, Wang Xijue was very surprised. How could such a valuable item escape the search of the royal guards?
  If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. If nothing else, the Zhang family’s valuable treasures must be more than this!
  Sure enough, Zhang Juzheng did have a back-up plan!
  Wang Xijue couldn't hide his excitement when he thought of this. He looked at Zhang Jingxiu. There was only pleading on the baby's face, and there was no reluctance to part with the jade pendant.

Now, Wang Xijue was almost more sure that the Zhang family had no shortage of such treasures, but he still asked tentatively: "My child, this jade pendant of yours is very valuable. Let alone changing it to a better shroud, give it to your elder brother." A good coffin is more than enough, are you really willing to give me this treasure?"

Zhang Jingxiu sighed matter-of-factly, and exclaimed like a young adult: "My sister-in-law is right, when you are rich, jade can be used as a rare treasure to watch; when you are down, no matter how precious jade is, it is just a piece of jade." It’s just a cold stone.”

Seeing that Zhang Jingxiu still didn't feel distressed, Wang Xijue asked calmly and tentatively: "Indeed, your father has been the chief minister for ten years. You should have seen a lot of precious treasures like this since you were young, and they were all treated like stones." Bar?"

Zhang Jingxiu seemed to be very proud and started to sneer: "Of course, a jade pendant is nothing. I heard from my sister-in-law that when I was born, a general named Qi gave my father a luminous pearl as big as a goose egg! She said it was Here’s my birth gift!”

When he heard this "general named Qi", Wang Xijue couldn't help but sneered, thinking to himself that Qi Jiguang was really good at currying favor with Zhang Juzheng, giving gifts to his daughter and the Night Pearl.

"Oh, what a pity." Zhang Jingxiu, who was showing off, suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball.

"What's a pity?" Wang Xijue asked in confusion: "Is it a pity because your house was ransacked and your Night Pearl was confiscated?"

Zhang Jingxiu shook his head and said with a grimace: "No, Ye Mingzhu was no longer there when the house was raided."

Wang Xijue asked again: "Why aren't you here? Was it stolen?"

"No." Zhang Jingxiu still shook his head, holding his chest with a distressed look on his face and crying:
  "How could such a good treasure be stolen? After my father passed away, my eldest brother snatched it away and buried it with my father. Alas, that is my favorite luminous pearl. It was obviously given to me by General Qi as a birth gift. Yes, it is obviously my thing, wuwuwu, this is not fair..."

Zhang Jingxiu was still wiping away his tears and crying, but Wang Xijue was motionless, as if his nerves had been struck by lightning, with his eyes wide open!

Gradually, Wang Xijue laughed, a little crazy, as if he had discovered some secret!
  "Buried with him? Hahahaha! I know! I know!"

Wang Xijue laughed, he knew!

No wonder no matter how much money was confiscated from the house, it turned out that Zhang Juzheng took all the valuable things with him to be buried with him!
  "As expected! As expected! So the backhand is here!"

After getting the answer, Wang Xijue was so excited that he almost lost his mind. He immediately threw away the crying Zhang Jingxiu and even the jade pendant!
  The top priority is that he must go to the hospital immediately!

Ask the emperor to issue an order to dig Zhang Juzheng's grave! Open coffin to verify!
