Shen Tang resisted the urge to feel his scalp numb.
She asked tentatively: "I'm not very familiar with this history. Could it be that the king who founded the Wu Kingdom was the ancestor of Gongxi Qiu? The royal family crest of the Wu Kingdom is the clan crest of the Gongxi clan?"
According to the general routine, this should be the case.
But Gu Chi obviously doesn't like to follow the routine.
"The King Wu's royal family only passed down one generation. The king's surname was Jisun. No one knew his origin, family, background, and background. He seemed to appear out of thin air. According to historical records, he was a convict coolie who built the royal tomb. He was dissatisfied with the abuse of supervision. He killed innocent people, so he gathered a crowd to revolt and marched forward with great success. It can be said that the god is killing the god, and the Buddha is killing the Buddha, sweeping across the entire northwest..."
In just eight years, the entire northwest, the entire southwest, and more than half of the northeastern region were included in its possession, and it was only one step away from unifying the mainland. The remaining small countries trembled under the power of the big devil, and those who were in negative moods were ready. I was mentally prepared to lie down, but I didn't expect that the great military congress would collapse overnight.
At this point, the country was torn apart and the world returned to war.
What did Shen Tang catch: "Jisun? This compound surname also has a background. The leader of the Wu Kingdom with the compound surname Ji Sun should have a high background. Speaking of it - Gongxi seems to be a branch of Ji Sun. Could it be that the two are really related? what relationship?"
Earlier, not everyone had a surname.
The surname is determined by the place where the person came from.
For those who have a clan name, their descendants will have their own divisions.
Common people have no surnames, only one given name.
The background of this Jisun family should not be simple.
Gu Chi said: "Chi also has this suspicion."
I had never thought that there would be any connection between the two, but the Gongxi clan actually had clues about Wu Guo's evil in their hands, and it also caused covetousness and genocide. There is no way that the two are unrelated. The Gongxi clan has lived in seclusion for more than two hundred years. The Wu Kingdom was a hundred years ago.
Gu Chi couldn't help but guess that this Jisun family might be a member of the Gongxi clan who escaped from the Gongxi clan. For some reason, he couldn't show off outside, so he changed his surname to Jisun. Supporting this guess, there is also the royal family crest of the King of Wu. There are two snakes, one female and one male.
The clan pattern on Gongxi Qiu's body is a single female snake. Considering that the Gongxi clan follows the matrilineal order, it is not surprising.
A coincidence may be a coincidence.
What about twice or even three times?
That's more than just a coincidence.
That is to say——
The roots of the genocide of the Gongxi clan have long been laid.
Even if the relationship between the Geng, Xin, and Gongxi clans and the Wu Kingdom were exposed, they would still be killed.
Shen Tang sighed: "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of having a jade."
It can also be seen from the enthusiastic, cheerful and simple Gong Xi Qiu that the Gong Xi clan does not have much ambition, otherwise they would not be able to live in seclusion for more than two hundred years... Alas, people's hearts are terrible.
Gu·was forced to listen to his heart·Chi: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know if his lord was joking. The Gongxi clan was not very ambitious. He did not deny this, but he was curious - where did the lord see that Gongxi Qiu was warm, cheerful and simple? From that strange Music theory aesthetic?
The carriage moved slowly and rocked slowly.
"Hey, let's forget about that for now." Shen Tang still has a lot of troubles to deal with. The most troublesome thing is the import of medicinal materials. Thinking back to the negotiation scene just now, her balls hurt, "We only have one-third of an acre of land, and the family wealth It's so rare that Zhang Yongqing can be so ruthless, cutting leeks with just one opening of his mouth..."
Zhang He's price is not unaffordable.
It’s just that my body hurts???
After living in poverty for more than half a year, Shen Tang has become accustomed to breaking a penny into four-petal flowers_(:з)∠?)_ Zhang He's quotation is equivalent to multiplying it by four: "Look at the tide, you say When will we achieve financial freedom?”
Gu Chi: "Lord, why don't you daydream again?"
He laughed and teased Shen Tang.
Shen Tang wanted to grab something and slap him.
Wow, these literary scribes are getting worse and worse!
Gu Chi: "It's not impossible."
Shen Tang immediately raised his ears: "Speak quickly!"
Gu Chi said: "Didn't Wu Zhaode sell wine to Yiru before? The business is doing well. We might as well exchange wine with Zhang Yongqing for medicinal materials. It doesn't have to be money."
To put it simply, it is an exchange of things for things.
He Yin has no silver, but he has plenty of water mixed with wine!
It just depends on whether Zhang He buys it or not! Since both of them are profiteers, let’s see who is more treacherous! Hearing this, Shen Tang’s eyes suddenly brightened: “Okay, okay, I can accept this.”
That night Zhang He received Shen Tang's reply.
He frowned when he saw the transaction method in the letter.
I pondered for a long time by the candlelight.
It was so long that the staff didn't even notice when they came over.
The staff asked: "Why is my lord so worried?"
Zhang He pushed the letter to his staff.
"He Yin envoy wanted to exchange spiritual wine for medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials needed were not a small amount. He went out with a dark face in the daytime and was dissatisfied with the price, so why did he agree at night? There must be fraud here. I don't know whether I should refuse, and How to refuse.”
The staff carefully read the flamboyant letter.
"Spiritual wine? Is it the spiritual wine that everyone is competing for now?"
Zhang He nodded: "I have also drunk the so-called spiritual wine, and it does have some miraculous effects. However, the food in Yiru is not rich, and a luxury like wine...cannot encourage such unhealthy trends."
He once served as an imperial doctor at the Medical Office of the King of Xin.
I know too well how the rich and powerful eat, drink and have fun.
The common people were so hungry that they gnawed tree bark and ate mud, but this did not affect those people who wasted food and made wine just for their appetite.
Zhang He strictly controlled the liquor sales under his rule.
Folk brewing tools will be confiscated.
Liquor can only be brewed by the official or officially approved institutions. Private brewing by ordinary people will be punished. As for the flow of alcohol into the market outside of Yiru, it must also be strictly controlled.
However, Zhang He's reputation among the common people has reached its peak, which does not mean that the families in Yiru who have inherited it for many years also buy it. In fact, they have no dealings with Zhang He. They have their own channels to do small tricks secretly. As long as they are not excessive, Zhang He will He could only turn a blind eye when he found out.
The staff member said: "There are indeed doubts..."
He added: "But I can't refuse."
Zhang He was puzzled: "Why?"
"My lord, what is the use of this spiritual wine?"
"It's useless." Zhang He shook his head.
"My lord, I don't need it, but there are some that people can use."
Zhang He was reminded by him and vaguely caught something.
"You mean..."
The staff member smiled meaningfully: "Each family in Yiru is operating privately, has your lord heard about it, right? You might as well take this opportunity to repair the relationship, and you can make connections. Heyin will provide spiritual wine, and each family in Yiru will provide medicinal materials. Each one will take it. Required.”
Zhang He was surprised.
He knew that his staff member was not dealing with the Yiru family. To what extent could they not deal with him?
If it's really a good thing, the dog's turn will not come to those families! If a parent of a family is kidnapped and the kidnappers demand a ransom, the staff can donate a bundle of firewood in friendship.
So, is this actually still a trap?
Taking advantage of He Yin's incident, how many branches are you repairing?
Zhang He thought for a long time before making a final decision.
"Okay, let's do this for now."
Although Heyin was a remote and remote area, he had also heard about Shen Tang's methods after taking over Heyin, and he admired the young county governor quite a bit. It was not yet the case now, and it was hard to say what the future would be.
It's better to be friends than to be enemies.
After deciding this matter, Zhang He remembered another trouble and his eyes flashed coldly: "Go back and investigate Nan Guren. Among his sworn brothers there is a man named Shao Chong."
The staff had vaguely heard of Shaochong's name.
"What's so special about this person?"
"A serious problem for the future."
Zhang He felt guilty about Shao Chong.
If he hadn't been ordered to study Gu insects back then, there might not have been the common people experimenting, and the Xin Kingdom's poison would have spread everywhere.
But guilt remains guilt, and the threat still needs to be eliminated.
If you don't bully someone while they're still weak, why don't you wait until they mature and then go head-on to die?
"Quietly, deal with him."
The staff responded quietly.
Zhang He added: "If you miss, you will withdraw."
He doesn't want to expose himself too much yet.
His identity as a doctor and his good reputation are all his protective features to confuse his enemies. Zhang He is a very ambitious person and has no shortage of dormant patience. He is also waiting for an opportunity.
The staff member's mind suddenly changed: "What should I do about Gong Xiqiu?"
"You can't handle this fifteen-year-old junior high-ranking officer." Zhang He looked at the flames of the lighted oil lamp and laughed again and again, "And why should we handle him? Keeping such a vengeful man full of hatred in his heart would not be a good way to contain the Geng Kingdom. That group of people?”
Gongxi's hatred will lead to rebellion sooner or later.
When Zhang He needs it, the turbider the water, the better.
Peaceful years are not his pursuit.
Before that, he needs to hibernate deeper.
It wasn't until midnight that Gong Xiqiu returned to his hotel under the moonlight. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a familiar face.
"Mama is waiting for me."
He used a confident tone.
Shen Tang said: "Well, let's practice the banquet."
Gong Xiqiu strode forward: "Who will practice it for?"
Shen Tang pointed to himself: "Me."
She received a reply from Zhang He not long ago.
All the goals of this trip were achieved.
Naturally, I can't stay too long. I will finish the business contract during the day tomorrow and set off back in the evening.
She didn't know when Gong Xiqiu would leave.
After much thought, I asked the store to prepare a table of food and wine.
Gong Xiqiu drinks wine, and she eats vegetables.
This is a farewell, I don’t know when we will see each other again.
Maybe goodbye will be on the battlefield.
Curiosity killed the cat. Shen Tang couldn't help the torment of curiosity that scratched his heart and made a straight shot: "How is your investigation of the whereabouts of the holy objects going?"
Gong Xiqiu drank the wine in one gulp.
Shaking his head: "There is still no whereabouts of those inverted buckets."
Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and it is really hard to find a few small people who work in a profession where they will be beaten to death if caught.
I don’t know if they lost the sacred objects or if they changed hands.
"Don't be discouraged. The sacred object will always be found. It's just that--it's a bit presumptuous to ask." Shen Tang hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "What's so special about that sacred object? Is it worth taking the risk and running out to find the needle in the haystack?" Need to find it?"
There is only one Gongxi Qiu left in the Gongxi clan. The most important thing at the moment is to revitalize the family population, right?
What if there is no one in the family?
The eldest brother is not young anymore, so he should work hard to have a baby while he is in good health.
"Ahem, if it offends you, just pretend I didn't ask."
Gong Xiqiu didn't feel offended.
I don’t think Shen Tang is coveting the secret among the clan.
because--
"Nothing special."
Shen Tang made a sound, and there were three question marks in his head.
Gongxi Qiu took a sip of his drink: "I also found out after reading the clan records that the Gongxi clan had committed a serious crime, and the whole clan met a benefactor on the way to exile. This benefactor saved the ancestor and took the ancestor to find the later clan land.”
"Then what?" Shen Tang listened with interest.
Gong Xiqiu recalled a record in his family: "Then one day, the benefactor calculated that a thief star had landed in a certain place, and went out for a long trip. When he came back, the benefactor brought back the sacred object, that is, the coffin, and entrusted the ancestors to carry it on his behalf. Take care of..."
He paused.
"After that, the benefactor sat on the ground and became a god. Before his death, he told his ancestors to burn his body. Cremation has become a funeral custom passed down from generation to generation in our family. When the ancestors were sorting out the benefactor's belongings, they found an autographed letter from the benefactor. "
"What was written in the letter?"
"The benefactor said he would come back to take away the sacred objects entrusted to him, but now I am the only one left in the clan, and the sacred objects are still missing..."
Shen Tang: "...Do you believe that your benefactor will come back?"
He died roughly two hundred years ago.
Aren’t the Gongxi clan too honest???
Gong Xiqiu said: "Yes!"
Shen Tang said quietly: "You have to believe in science."
"Who is Science?" Gong Xiqiu didn't care much and continued to share the gossip, "According to the clan records, the benefactor was a god who flew down from the sky! You must know that at that time, there was neither a thief star nor a spirit spirit, and he had such an inhuman possession. Can the power of an ordinary person be that of an ordinary person?”
"The benefactor not only saved the ancestors."
"He also taught his ancestors how to settle down and make a living."
"The art of Gu was taught by my benefactor."
but--
Gongxi Qiu said depressedly: "If the traitor hadn't stolen the Gu book and established a useless military kingdom outside, the Gongxi clan would not have ended up like this..."
Shen Tang was shocked: "Is the leader of the Wu Kingdom really a member of your tribe?"
Gong Xiqiu emphasized: "No, he was exterminated."
That Jisun family was actually another son of the clan leader of that generation. He had been pampered since he was a child. He was dissatisfied with his weak and incompetent brother inheriting the position of clan leader, and he was also unhappy with being trapped in the clan for his whole life. He wanted to go out and see a wider world. Therefore, he had evil intentions, stole Gu books, and burned the family's secrets.
The inheritance of the Gongxi clan is incomplete.
Before that, every tribesman would be bewitched at birth, and the beetles and people complemented each other. Whether it was cultivation or other things, they could get twice the result with half the effort. If they prayed devoutly to the gods they enshrined in the morning and evening, they could still gain the favor of the gods...
Therefore, although the Gongxi clan lives in seclusion.
But it was really possible to fight back then.
As a result, such a traitor emerged.
In order to obtain the most powerful force in the shortest time, he extends his claws to ordinary people and creates a tragedy that will last forever.
The Gongxi clan also fell into ruin from then on.
Carefully, clamp the tail.
Unexpectedly, after just a few decades of peace, I would run into trouble again.
Gong Xiqiu's current obsession is not only to avenge his tribe, but also to retrieve the sacred objects and wait for the reincarnation of his benefactor.
Shen Tang: "..."
She really wants to persuade her friends to believe in science.
There is no such thing as reincarnation in this world...
Hey, wait!
Shen Tang noticed a problem.
"Your clan's sacred objects have existed for more than two hundred years?"
"yes."
"Did you open the coffin and put something in during the period?"
For example, secondary use, stuffing a fresh corpse?
Gong Xiqiu was vaguely drunk.
"How is this possible? It has been buried all this time..."
Shen Tang was speechless and stunned when he heard this.
"After being buried for more than two hundred years, the body can still be fresh?"
Gong Xiqiu was not surprised and said: "Since he is a sacred object, a benefactor and a god, he always has a way to preserve the corpse from decaying. Is this so strange? Not to mention two hundred years, it is normal for two thousand years."
