The ancestral house of the Qiao family later became a memorial and a place to worship ancestors.
But in fact, there is a big secret of the Qiao family hidden in the ancestral house.
This secret has been passed down for more than a hundred years, to at least four generations of the Qiao family. The ancestors of the Qiao family who left this secret also left their ancestral precepts, and the Qiao family will remember it from generation to generation.
However, only the head of the Qiao family knows what this secret is, and it has been passed down orally from generation to generation, so no one other than the head of the family can know.
Of course, knowing the secret and knowing what the secret is are two different things. Therefore, the core members of the Qiao family all know that there is a secret in the ancestral house, and only Qiao Fei, the head of the family, knows the specific situation.
The thief who came before went straight to the ancestral house. Fortunately, he was discovered by the beast guarding the ancestral house, so the thief could not succeed.
However, the thief was very rampant. Not only did he use his methods at that time, he also injured many Qiao family members and pets. He also said something before leaving.
"I know that you don't dare to report to the official, let alone make any noise. Therefore, those of you who are wise, hand over the things in your ancestral home honestly after five days, otherwise, your Qiao family will be exterminated."
After saying that, leave.
This is said so nonsense that most people probably don’t know what’s going on.
But when Mr. Qiao Fei thought about it carefully, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Others don't know what's going on, but he does.
At that time, some people advocated reporting to the official, but Qiao Fei Gong stopped it.
Just like what the thief said, the Qiao family cannot report to the government because there are some other secret things. You must know that the city lord of the Yulong Kingdom is actually extremely powerful, and their city lord position can be hereditary.
If you don't mind, let's just say that the Lord of Wei City is also like this.
The previous Lord of Weicheng also heard about the secret treasure in the Qiao family from somewhere, so he came to visit him decades ago to take a look. That time, it was Qiao Fei Gong’s father who was in charge and told the Lord in a few words
After fooling around, there were rumors about this matter, saying that the Qiao family had a secret treasure and that the Qiao family controlled the largest medicine shop in Wei City. One version of the rumor later was that the Qiao family had a fairy who could cure human flesh and bones.
medicine.
At first no one paid attention to the rumors, but gradually they disappeared on their own.
Who knew something would happen later.
At that time, the wife of the Lord of Weicheng suddenly fell seriously ill and was difficult to cure with medicine and stone. The Lord of Weicheng heard the rumors and came to Qiao's house again.
At that time, the city lord begged in every possible way, asking if the Qiao family really had heirlooms and elixirs, could he save his wife's life.
Of course the Qiao family didn't and they denied it.
But at that time, the lord of Wei City was very worried. Of course, he couldn't do it, so he directly asked if the Qiao family had any secret treasure passed down from generation to generation.
At that time, Duke Qiao Fei's father firstly cared about the ancestral teachings, and secondly, he knew that the Qiao family's secret treasure was not a panacea, so in order to dispel the idea of the city lord at that time, he lied and said it didn't exist.
In this way, the then Lord of Wei City returned home disappointed. Not long after, his wife died of illness.
The current lord of Weicheng City is his son, and the one who died of illness at that time is the mother of the current lord of Weicheng City. Therefore, the incident that happened to the Qiao family now must not be reported to the official.
Still afraid of causing trouble.
When the time comes and the lie is exposed, how can the current city lord spare the Qiao family lightly?
That is the pain of losing a mother.
So Mr. Qiao Fei was worried. He wanted to resolve this matter in private, and only in private. So in the past few days, he had also invited many guests, just because he was afraid that the Qiao family's own strength was not enough.
If the thief comes again, they will have ways to deal with it.
But even so, Mr. Qiao Fei has been flustered these past few days. He feels that things are not that simple to solve, so he is so worried.
Later, his son Qiao Xing was in his prime. When he saw his father frowning, he immediately said: "Father, our Qiao family is prosperous for the fifth time. What scene have we not seen before? Back then, my great-grandfather killed a group of mountains.
thief, with one
With human power, more than thirty masters have been destroyed. In this realm of Weicheng, who doesn’t know our Qiao family, and who dares to offend our Qiao family? Although my son is not talented, if the thief comes again, he will definitely be destroyed.
Kill him and let him know that the Qiao family cannot be bullied."
Several members of the Qiao family's young sect also looked eager to try, as if they were newborn calves not afraid of tigers.
"It's not that simple." Before Mr. Qiao Fei could speak, his second uncle spoke up at this time.
According to seniority, Qiao Xingde called this second grandfather.
Qiao Feigong also nodded at this time: "Xing'er, your second grandfather is right, this matter is definitely not that simple. The other party can find out the location of our Qiao family's ancestral home at once, which is not simple in itself, and..."
Mr. Qiao Fei didn't say anything about the rest, because other people in the Qiao family didn't know about some things except him.
For example, there was a small grudge between his father and the previous Lord of Wei City.
The other party's insistence that the Qiao family did not dare to report it to the government and did not dare to use the power of the government to handle this matter had already explained everything.
This is the most worrying thing.
The thief must have come prepared.
Moreover, the other party is definitely not fighting alone. Since a five-day deadline has been given, there must be someone behind him. Mr. Qiao Fei is also the head of the family, so he still has this experience and insight.
However, Mr. Qiao Fei was not a timid person. He was worried, but he had no intention of giving in.
It's a joke. A thief said those few words and asked his Qiao family to hand over the secret heirloom. It was just a joke. No matter what he did, Mr. Qiao Fei would never be so miserable.
In fact, Mr. Qiao Fei already had a plan in mind.
Although the Qiao family has not continued to develop over the years, it has been remarkable in consolidating its original territory and power. Not only does it have many friends in Weicheng, and all parties give them face, but also in other places.
backing.
Even in the royal city, the Qiao family has a close relationship with a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Every year, they send some rare medicinal materials to build a relationship.
But this time, because they had to deal with the possible arrival of powerful enemies, the Qiao family entrusted the Ji'an Escort Agency in Wei City to escort the medicinal materials to the royal city.
The Ji'an Escort Agency is also a long-established name in Weicheng. When Qiao Fei's father was here, he had a good relationship with the Ji'an Escort Agency and could be trusted.
At this time, someone came from outside to report that it was Mr. Zhang from the Ji'an Escort Bureau who wanted to see him.
"Huh?" Mr. Qiao Fei was stunned.
According to normal circumstances, escort Zhang and the others should be on their way to the royal city now. How could they come here to see them now?
"Did you read that correctly?" Qiao Fei asked the servant with a frown, and the latter quickly said, "Master, look at what you said, I have seen Mr. Zhang many times and there is no way he would admit his mistake."
"Go and invite." Mr. Qiao Fei immediately led people to the living room. When they arrived, Mr. Zhang was already waiting inside. When he saw Mr. Qiao Fei coming out, Mr. Zhang immediately got up and stepped forward: "I've seen Master Qiao!
"
"Master Zhang, why are you back?" Qiao Feigong was puzzled, so he naturally asked directly.
While questioning, I also found that the bodyguard Zhang looked good, especially the broken-tailed mountain lion next to the bodyguard Zhang, which had an inexplicable tyrannical aura.
