When Chen Mengsheng saw the word "spring", his head was suddenly filled with doubts. As for what Zang Demu was saying under the archway, Chen Mengsheng didn't listen and only thought about the word "spring". Is there something hidden in this archway?
Secret, day by day? Chunzi Archway? Zangjiu’s bookshelf was burned, and all the dotted classics were reduced to ashes. What did the black hand behind Hulu Town want to destroy through Zangda’s daughter-in-law?...
Chen Mengsheng was lost in thought with his head lowered. Xiang Xiaotian patted Chen Mengsheng on the shoulder and said, "Hey, brother, what are you thinking about? The head of the family is calling you, what are you doing?"
"Brother, what's wrong? What happened?" Chen Mengsheng looked at Xiang Xiaotian confused.
Xiang Xiaotian covered his mouth with his hand and said softly: "That old guy has been calling you up there for a long time. Brother, look at so many people basking in the sun. If you don't respond again, I think you are quite a boss."
Appropriate." Chen Mengsheng divided the crowd on both sides and looked towards the archway, only to see Zang Demu looking at him with an embarrassed look on his face.
Zang Demu said with a smile: "Haha, your distinguished guest must be too reserved. Today's Hulu Town is much different than in the past. Hulu Town is no longer the stick-to-conventional way that Zang Jiu proposed. It has been closed and self-contained for thousands of years.
What happened? Sooner or later, the Zang family lineage will be cut off, and how can we face our ancestors at that time? Everyone knows that we have encountered a catastrophe that we have never encountered before. Fortunately,
God has mercy on us and has sent down a distinguished guest. Please come and say a few words to us, distinguished guest."
Xiang Xiaotian snickered and said: "That old man really talks the same thing, and what he says is better than what he sings. If the people in their town hadn't seen you showing off your power several times, they wouldn't have thought of you as a real person.
Here’s the savior!”
Chen Mengsheng smiled, strode to the archway and said to everyone: "Dear citizens of Hulu Town, Chen Mengsheng is just a rough man. This time he passed through your town and encountered a series of murders and tragedies, but I can tell you
What everyone is worried about is that this is definitely not the evil spirit of some strange fish, but someone taking the opportunity to do evil. I only ask everyone to do one thing, that is, pay attention to everyone around you, especially when a tragedy occurs at night, who notices it?
If the people around him are missing, then he may be the perpetrator." Chen Mengsheng's words were interrupted by angry roars from the audience. When people heard that someone in the town was doing evil and harmed so many people, they lost control of their emotions.
The evil man can be found immediately and his flesh can be eaten...
The new patriarch, Zang Demu, shouted loudly: "The savior has spoken, so just do it. Why is there so much nonsense? Don't you think that not enough people in the town have died? Dear guest, please don't be offended. Keep talking...
…”
"There is nothing else to say. I will definitely deal with the evildoers in the town to the end. Either he dies or I die! And since the incident of Zang Jiu has happened, I beg the clan leader to treat Zang Jiu's granddaughter kindly. Sin.
If someone dares to bully Miss Chunni, no matter who it is, I, Chen Mengsheng, will definitely punish him severely." Chen Mengsheng said firmly.
Zang Demu said hurriedly: "This distinguished guest, please rest assured. As long as I am here, anyone who dares to bully Miss Chunni will not give me face. The whole town is here, and I, Zang Demu, can tell everyone what I say."
I can testify."
Chen Mengsheng raised his thumbs and praised: "Okay, Uncle Mu is really quick to talk. With Uncle Mu's words, I am free from worries. The sun is getting brighter, so let everyone disperse. Go back and be good.
Rest, as long as everyone can work together, I believe the evildoers behind the scenes in Calabash Town will be revealed to the world in a short time."
"Well, let's all disperse. Everyone understands what Chen Guike said. Let's go back and have a rest." Zang Demu dismissed the townspeople in front of the archway, and it didn't take long for Chen Mengsheng and the four of them to be left in front of the archway.
Qi Ying quietly asked Xiang Xiaotian: "Those townspeople seem to listen to Brother Chen. Why are we still here?"
Xiang Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Those people still have some sharp eyesight. My brother has cast spells several times and they all know that only he can save Hulu Town. Of course they have to listen to him. We stay here..., that's right, brother
,Are we still here to bask in the sun?"
Chen Mengsheng shook his head and pointed to the word spring on the archway and said: "I wonder if the place where Zang Jiu hid the treasure is right here. Once I summon the five ghosts and search here carefully, the truth will be revealed." Chen Mengsheng made a gesture with both hands.
A dark wind blew inexplicably in the plains. Except for Qi Ying, Shangguan Yanran and Xiang Xiaotian had all experienced the Five Ghosts.
Shangguan Yanran walked to Qi Ying and said: "Sister Xianglan, this is the method of moving the five ghosts. There is nothing to be afraid of when there is a senior brother here. They all listen to the senior brother. These five ghosts usually like to carry other people's money.
You can make money disappear without breaking the door or opening the box. They occupy five areas and each has their own name. They are called Cao Shi, Zhang Si, Li Jiu, Wang Ren, and Zhu Guang."
"Hehe, hahaha... Cao Shi led the five ghosts to pay homage to the judge. Hehe, I wonder why the judge came to see your brothers?" The five little ghosts smiled side by side and saluted Chen Mengsheng.
Chen Mengsheng raised his hands and said, "I have to work hard for you all again today. Can you help me search here to see if there are any treasures hidden?"
Cao Shi laughed and said: "Hehe, what's the trouble? Brothers, please search here carefully, don't let the judge down. Hehe..."
Li Jiu responded: "What else are you looking for? Isn't there a wooden box with gold under that archway? Haha... let me get it, let me get it, haha..." Li Jiu hooked his little hand and moved from the archway.
The next moment, a wooden box appeared and flew into Chen Mengsheng's hand. Chen Mengsheng bowed to the five ghosts and thanked them. Cao Shi, Zhang Si, Li Jiu, Wang Ren, and Zhu Guang happily bowed and left...
Xiang Xiaotian came over, took the wooden box, opened it and said, "It's really a treasure! It's so heavy. Brother, what is this?" Xiang Xiaotian took out an oil paper bag from the wooden box and handed it to Chen Mengsheng and asked.
When Chen Mengsheng took it apart and took a look, his eyebrows were twisted into knots. He smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, these are characters made up of dots of ink again! It seems that to solve this mystery, we have to go back and ask Miss Chunni for advice."
Xiang Xiaotian suddenly shouted: "This old boy Zang Jiu is too slippery. It turns out he really killed the blacksmith! Look at this." Chen Mengsheng looked along the wooden box in Xiang Xiaotian's hand.
There is a cloth bag spread on the bottom of the wooden box. There are three or four kilograms of golden beans in it, which is much more than the golden beans found in Zang Laosan's house...
Back at Zangjiu's mansion, Miss Lihua had already prepared the meal. After the meal, Chen Mengsheng went to the west inner room alone. Shangguan Yanran and Xiang Xiaotian were guarding the outside to prevent anyone from entering.
When Miss Chunni saw this posture, she knew that something big must have happened, so she followed Chen Mengsheng into the back room without asking any questions.
Chen Mengsheng handed the oilcloth bag to Chuni and said: "Girl, the oilcloth in your hand is of great importance. It may contain the secret to unraveling the tragedy in Hulu Town. Because your grandfather is involved in this matter, I dare not show it to outsiders for fear of
It will make people think against you."
Chuni nodded and said: "I understand what Brother Chen means. He doesn't want people in the tribe to get angry with me because of my grandfather. Chuni thanked Brother Chen in advance. My grandfather committed the most taboo mistake among the tribe." Chuni
Opening the oilcloth bag, I saw a letter and a brochure inside.
Opening the booklet, Chunni said: "This is the family tree of the Zang family written by my grandfather, eh?...Ah..." Chunni looked at it and suddenly screamed, with cold sweat dripping on her head.
The answer flows down.
"What's wrong? What's written in it? Miss Chunni, are you talking?" Chen Mengsheng looked at the panicked Chunni anxiously and said.
After a stick of incense, Chuni was already in tears and said: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this...?"
"Miss Chunni, what's wrong with you? What does the booklet say?"
Chuni wiped away her tears and said: "It turns out that the patriarch of the generation before my grandfather, Zang Dejiang, was a concubine. There was a great purge in the clan more than 20 years ago. The concubine Zang Dejiang was beaten to death.
During the purge, there was a big fight between the direct descendants and the concubine descendants, and as recorded in the book, more than 200 people died. Their bones were thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish, and only a child from Zang Dejiang who was not yet one month old was killed.
The people took him in. But the people in the clan said that they wanted to get rid of the root of the problem and insisted on drowning the child alive. At that time, my grandfather was elected as the clan leader by the clan, so it was left to my grandfather to drown the child. My grandfather
I rowed the boat to the center of the river, and when I felt soft-hearted, I secretly kept the child. I gave it to my blind grandma to raise him until he was nine years old. She quietly gave the child away just before she got married..."
"What was the child's name? What happened next?"
Chuni read the booklet and said: "The child's name is Zang Ji. I didn't expect that Zang Ji would come back after twenty years. People in the town have always felt guilty about killing his fellow clan members, and no one made things difficult for him after Zang Ji came back.
Let him live in a hut by the river. That's all I wrote in the booklet." Chunni reached out and took the blank cover letter without a signature. She pulled out the letter paper and saw that it was like five thunderbolts. It was trembling and limp.
Falling to the ground...
Chen Mengsheng quickly cast a nectar spell into Chunni's back, and Chunni slowly woke up and said with tears: "This is grandpa... Grandpa wrote me a letter of confession. After my father died... he missed us mother and daughter."
The two of them could live a better life in the future and not be bullied by others, so they took the ingot Ruyi... Unexpectedly, he said that in his dream, he was met by... the victims of the same clan who were born in the concubine came to ask for his life... so that's why
It was a big mistake... I originally wanted to die... but then it was because of me... that I just managed to survive..."
Chen Mengsheng comforted Miss Chunni and sat on a chair, thinking quietly. If Zang Jiu killed the blacksmith Zang Kui and robbed him of the gold, who killed Zang Jiu? Who could hate Hulu Town so much?
The biggest suspect should be Zang Ji, but Zang Ji died half a year ago? There are so many people in Gourd Town who can prove it is his body? If someone covets the position of patriarch, who will benefit the most?
It was Zang Demu. Could it be that he killed the people in the town?
Chen Mengsheng himself was confused by many questions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. What on earth is going on?...
