When Jiang Zhihao and Ji Zimo came to the Gao family's ancestral hall, they saw a towering wall. Although the Gao family had fallen into decline, the glory of the past still existed.
If the courtyard wall does not collapse, it will be difficult for others to enter.
After walking around for a while, he saw no one and no contact information. Ji Zimo couldn't help but feel anxious: "Mr. Jiang, what should I do? You can't climb over the wall and get in, right?"
If he climbed over the wall and was discovered by the Gao clan, he would probably be beaten to death.
Jiang Zhihao shook his head and said: "I know that the Gao family still has a lineage in the city that specializes in managing the ancestral hall. Let's go to them and ask them first."
Then, the two of them went to another place and found the person who is now responsible for the management of the ancestral hall.
The man's name was Gao Hongzhong. He was a tall man and looked quite honest.
Knowing that Jiang Zhihao and Ji Zimo wanted to enter the Gao family's ancestral hall, Gao Hongzhong immediately shook his head and said: "Our Gao family members are scattered all over the country. Although there are not many left, the ancestral hall has been standing for hundreds of years, and outsiders cannot enter. Otherwise,
That is the one who has disturbed the peace of our ancestors and will be blamed."
"We just want to go in and burn incense to commemorate the friendship between the Gao family and our ancestors," Jiang Zhihao said.
"Is your ancestor related to our Gao family? Which family is it?" Gao Hongzhong asked.
"The Jiang family in Beicheng fought with an ancestor of the Gao family as early as two hundred years ago, and they have a deep relationship." Jiang Zhihao replied.
How did Gao Hongzhong know who the Jiang family in Beicheng were, and as for what happened two hundred years ago, there was no way to verify it. But Jiang Zhihao said that he had a nose and eyes, so it was hard for him to doubt anything.
But no matter what, it is impossible to enter the Gao family's ancestral temple.
No matter how deep the relationship is, you can only worship outside. If you want to enter the courtyard wall, you have to wait for the annual ancestor worship ceremony of the Gao family. Until then, the Gao family does not mind letting outsiders watch the ancestor worship ceremony.
However, with the passage of time, the number of people worshiping the ancestors of the Gao family has become smaller and smaller every year, and few others are interested in watching.
Seeing that Gao Hongzhong's explanation didn't make sense, Jiang Zhihao could only give up temporarily.
Ji Zimo pulled him aside and lowered his voice anxiously: "What can we do? If we can't get in, your method will be useless."
Jiang Zhihao's original idea was to find an opportunity to stay in the Gao family's ancestral temple for a night, and use this time to dig out the painting from the ancestral temple.
Originally, Ji Zimo was not willing to do this. He felt that it was disrespectful to other people's ancestors, and what was the difference between this and stealing? It would not work for a rich man like himself to steal things, even if it was Gu Kaizhi's painting of Luo Shen, which he wanted most.
But now, they won't even let you enter the ancestral hall. Even if Ji Zimo is willing, there is nothing he can do.
Jiang Zhihao thought for a while and said: "There is no other way. It just depends on whether Mr. Ji is willing to spend more money."
"You said that as long as you can get the painting, money is not a problem!" Ji Zimo said.
"This is simple..." Jiang Zhihao gestured to the location of the ancestral temple and said: "I think this area will have great development in the future. Isn't the city implementing a subway? Although it has not been built here yet, according to the surrounding
Judging from the environment and location planning, there must be one. So if Mr. Ji is willing to pay a big price, he can buy the land of the ancestral temple. By taking the painting, he can get another high-quality asset, which can be regarded as one
Good thing. Of course, the amount of this money may be as high as hundreds of millions, Mr. Ji needs to think carefully."
