Chapter Thirteen Past Events

In the 19th year of Jiajing, the second auxiliary servant Yan Song and the second auxiliary servant Xia Yan fought to the death in the court. The officialdom in the capital was in a panic.

At that time, He Liu was a 20-year-old boy. His father He Quan inspected the households of the Jinyiwei. With his father, this big tree, He Liu could fight crickets, raise birds, and spend time like the children of Shixun in the capital.

In the court, the Xia Yan party struggles are in full swing. Today you are the official of the Six Ministry, and tomorrow you are the prisoner under the stairs. In the morning, you sit in the eight-carrying sedan chair and may leave the Caishikou in the evening... The bloody storm in the officialdom has not affected He Lu's mood of leisure and enjoyment.

He Liu once said to his friends: Will Yan Cifu be in power or Xia Fu be in power, and do our brothers' affairs? Let's still raise our thrushes and fight our crickets.

The comfortable time of He Liu when he was young came to an abrupt end in the winter of the 19th year of Jiajing.

Huang Shougong, a member of the Yan Party and the Minister of Dali Temple, was impeached by the Xia Party Censors, and was involved in his crimes of corruption and corruption of bribery and his crimes of dereliction of duty. The emperor issued an order to order the Jinyiwei to investigate Huang Shougong's family wealth.

He Liu's father He Quan was the inspector of the Jinyiwei - a household raid. This job naturally fell on him.

He Quan turned Huang Shougong's mansion into the sky and used all the house searching skills passed down by the ancestors - but he found nothing.

Even He Quan himself suspected that Huang Shougong was a great polite official and was convicted of being framed.

Until one day, someone told He Quan that Huang Shougong was on Yuquan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, and there was another outside house.

He Quan and more than a hundred people found this outer house on Yuquan Mountain. However, there was no one in the outer house.

He Quan checked again and found nothing.

However, things turned around. He found a secret box in the kitchen of the house. There was no gold, silver and treasure in the secret box, only an ancient book "The Essay on Gathering Treasures".

He Quan feels like a treasure - this ancient book written by Tong Guan, a corrupt Song Dynasty, was dreamt of all households in all dynasties! Because the book records hundreds of secret methods of hiding silver.

It is said that the lonely book of this ancient book was lost when the Yuan people destroyed the Song Dynasty. Now seeing Tian Ri again, He Quan is very excited.

He Quan left the matter of finding dirty silver behind and ordered his subordinates to spend the night in the house.

With the faint candlelight, He Quan finished reading this strange book in one breath. He prepared to follow the book and search for dirty silver by dawn the next day.

A deep sleepiness hit He Quan's head. He fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, a gust of cold wind came. He Quan opened his eyes and wanted to get up, but he found that he was weak and could not stand steadily.

He wanted to call his subordinates - more than a hundred subordinates, all of whom were limp on the ground and unable to move.

In the darkness, a strange cry sounded: Eryin coach of the Yin Si passed by! Those who blocked the way could not be merciless!

Then, countless paper money fell from the sky. Dozens of Yin soldiers and Yin generals entered the Huang's house. In the hazy, He Quan found that these Yin soldiers and Yin generals were all suspended in the air - they had no feet at all.

The Yin soldiers and generals cut the throats of He Quan's subordinates one by one like slaughtering animals.

The Yin general floated to He Quan and wanted to take away the book "The Essence of Treasure Gathering" from He Quan's hand.

How could He Quan easily hand over the strange books that the Jinyi family officials had longed for day and night?

He used all his strength to his left hand, and he grabbed the book tightly. The Yin Gang tear it hard, and the cover of "The Essence of Treasures" was left in He Quan's hand.

There are only four words on the cover: the method of gathering treasures, and there is no single word about the method of hiding silver.

Yin Jiang did not snatch the cover from He Quan's hand anymore, but only picked up the sword in his hand and stabbed He Quan in the right chest with one sword.

He Quan has been slow to return to the Beizhen Fushi. The Beizhen Fushi sent Tiqi to Yuquan Mountain to search. They found that Huang Shougong's outer house, He Liu's more than 100 subordinates, were killed. Only He Quan was seriously injured and had a breath left.

The people from the Fushi Department of Beizhen carried He Quan, whose lives were hanging on the line, home.

He Quan asked his son He Liu to come to him and said to his son: You are twenty years old and are a man of upright nature. You must take good care of yourself in the future.

He Quan handed the cover of "The Essay on Gathering Treasures" to He Liu: Remember, your father was killed because of the book. Find this book, find out those who pretend to be evil, and avenge me.

After saying that, He Quan died.

Afterwards, He Liu took over his father's position as a hundred households and became a home search officer of the Jinyiwei.

In the court, Yan Dang also made a counterattack. The Lord Huang Shougong was acquitted because the Jinyiwei did not find evidence of his bribery and was restored to his post.

A few months later, Huang Shougong died of illness.

More than a hundred people died in the Jinyiwei at once, which was logically the case of Tongtian. For some reason, an order was reported from the palace: no one can investigate the case of the ghost house again.

He Liu has been inspecting hundreds of households for seventeen years - a case of ghost houses that has been secretly investigated for seventeen years.

Three years ago, Huang Shougong's son Huang Shan became the chief of Shuntian Prefecture. He Liu accidentally took Huang Shan's handle and threatened him to tell the secret of his father Huang Shougong.

Huang Shan and He Liu made an agreement to meet at Songhe Tower that night.

He Liu was very excited - one step closer to the truth about "The Essence of Treasures" and the Ghost House case.

But when the night was halfway through, the Heliu family suddenly caught fire. In the midst of the sky, his wife went to the underworld to protect her daughter Xiangxiang.

The Lord Huang Shan and Huang also died of sudden and suddenly in Songhe Tower.

"The Essentials of Gathering Treasures" and the Ghost House Case made He Liu lose two close relatives.

Sometimes He Liu also thought, forget it, what did the old case twenty years ago do? The murderer of the ghost house case seemed to have been secretly spying on him for the past twenty years. If he took action to investigate the case again, the murderer would definitely attack him and his daughter Xiangxiang without hesitation.

He Liu himself doesn't care. But his daughter Xiangxiang is more important than his life. For Xiangxiang, he has not investigated the case of the ghost house in the past three years.

The four large silver pillars of Wan'anliang's family made him suspect that Ku Bing Ding Wang had read "The Essay on Gathering Treasures". This made him think about continuing to find the truth about the ghost house case.

In his mind, a voice was shouting to He Liu: Don’t touch the old case from twenty years ago - for the sake of Xiangxiang.

My father He Quan's instructions before his death also rang in He Liu's ears: Your father was killed because of the book. Find this book, find those who pretend to be evil, and avenge me!

◇~(◇

He Liuquan was not sleepy. He picked up an exquisite wooden box from under the bed and used three keys to unlock the three exquisite locks on it.

In the wooden box, the cover of "The Essentials of Treasures" was quietly lying.

He Liu stared at the cover and couldn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, Lao Hu came to He Liu's house for a meal on time.

Seeing that He Liu's eyes were covered in blood, Old Hu asked: Didn't sleep well last night?

He Liu nodded: Yes, I didn’t sleep well.

Lao Hu said: We have nothing to do today. You can take a nap in the pay room.

Dongdongdongdongdong. There was a knock on the door at the courtyard.

He Liu walked out of the yard and saw two boys dressed in books standing at the gate of the yard.
