Nearly more than a thousand villagers in Shuangta Village were all drowned.

Houses were also washed away.

Yamen is no exception.

The Sixth Prince, who was supposed to pay a private visit incognito, almost drowned in the flood because he wanted to keep the "Dragon Cauldron".

Under the desperate protection of Liu Qianzhong and a group of police officers, a life was just saved.

The Dragon Cauldron was also washed away.

I think everyone can guess what happened next.

Liu Qianzhong and others returned to Kyoto afterwards.

The Holy One also learned about this.

Although the Sixth Prince saved his life, Liu Qianzhong was charged with beheading due to his poor protection, and became the scapegoat for the flood.

So many people died overnight.

The emperor must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and warn the world.

The sixth prince did have a conscience and tried his best to keep Liu Qianzhong, but after all, he was just a prince. If there was no mess like the flood, he might have been able to do it.

But the flood disaster has not yet been resolved, and the people are complaining, but his words have no effect.

But at this time.

A mysterious man suddenly appeared in the court and gave Liu Qianzhong two ideas.

First, he presented a flood control memorial to the emperor and personally went to Jizhou to appease the people.

Second, try every means to find the lost bronze tripod, put it back in its original place, and build a cave to support it.

If Liu Qianzhong can do these two things, he can have a happy death by taking off his official hat and retiring to his hometown.

When Liu Qianzhong heard this, he didn't believe it at first, but after asking about the identity of the mysterious man, he immediately agreed to do it, wrote a memorial overnight, and handed it to the emperor.

So, half a year later.

Liu Qianzhong fulfilled the mysterious man's request.

Control floods effectively and appease the people.

Looking for the bronze tripod, he built the Cave Heaven Paradise.

After that, Liu Qianzhong retired and returned to his hometown, where he lived out the rest of his life peacefully in Shuangta Village and trained many Jinshi and No. 1 scholars.

Before his death, he left two wishes to his descendants.

The first one was that he cared about the world with all his heart and served as an official with integrity, but in the end he could not die in the court and was exhausted serving the people. He was unwilling to do so.

If any descendant can walk to where he is sitting, he must ask the emperor to give him an official hat and be buried in the coffin with him.

Secondly, if you are lucky enough to meet that mysterious person or his descendants, you will dedicate yourself to him no matter what and die.

Because without him, there would be no Liu family.

These two last wishes have become the ancestral motto of Mr. Liu’s family.

But Liu Qianzhong never expected that more than two hundred years later, no one of the younger generation would be able to sit in his position.

Even the imperial court, the emperor, and these feudal remnants have become a thing of the past.

But the Liu family did not decline.

When it comes to Mr. Liu's generation, he still remembers the ancestral teachings. Although he can't be a high official or sit in that position, he still tried his best to find this hat.

Just to fulfill the last wish of our ancestors.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but fell silent.

It's not because of Mr. Liu's loyalty and filial piety.

Not because of the bizarreness of this story.

It's because the fate in this world is too clever.

I have heard this story since I was very young.

However, it is from another perspective.

And, only the second half.

Gou Wu couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "Say Master Liu, your story was told under the overpass a few decades ago. I will give you ten taels of silver at least!"

"Don't ask, just ask with one word, wonderful!"

Mr. Liu smiled and sighed: "Although the first wish has been fulfilled, I'm afraid I can't do anything about my ancestor's second wish."

Gou Wuyi was stunned: "How do you say this? It's not difficult for you to find someone, right?"

Mr. Liu shook his head and said: "My ancestors have not left any information about the identity of this mysterious man. I don't even know his name."

"I only know that this person is an important minister in the court, and only the emperor can appoint him, so his descendants must also be from a family of eunuchs."

"If it had been placed a hundred years ago, there might have been a chance to find it."

"But now..."

Gou Wu quickly understood what Liu Ye meant.

In modern times, turmoil has occurred frequently.

I don’t know whether the person is alive or not.

Finding it is even more difficult.

Gou Wu said: "Hey, no matter what, it will be good if you can complete what the ancestors told you. Mr. Liu, I respect you as a man!"

"Come on, drink!"

The two toasted one after another.

Seeing that I was silent, Mr. Liu asked curiously: "Master Xiao Yang, you seem to have been seriously injured. Should I have someone take you to the hospital?"

I shook my head. I originally planned to go to the hospital after explaining the explanation, but now it seems that I have to grind it out a little more.

I asked: "Master Liu, did your ancestor tell you the reason why the mysterious man helped him?"

Mr. Liu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "After giving instructions, he disappeared. Even in the court, he never saw him again."

I smiled and said, "Then do you know why floods occurred in Shuangta Village?"

Mr. Liu shook his head again: "How can we verify what happened hundreds of years ago?"

I said calmly: "I know."

Liu Ye was stunned, and Gou Wu was also stunned.

I took a sip of wine and explained slowly: "The beginning and end of all this is because of that bronze tripod."

Mr. Liu frowned slightly: "How did you know?"

I said: "Because... I am the descendant of that mysterious man."

As soon as these words came out.

In the box.

Deathly silence.

Half a moment.

Gou Wu was rude: "Hey, Lao Yang, are you drunk? Don't make jokes, it will make my brain hurt."

I shook my head and said, "I'm not drunk."

Mr. Liu was slightly in disbelief and asked again: "Little friend Yang, this is not a joke. Are you serious?"

The tone was a little trembling.

I responded: "Every sentence is true."

Gou Wu noticed something was wrong and immediately picked up a plate of meat: "Okay, you two can talk. I, an outsider, should go out for a walk."

After that, he walked out of the box and closed the door.

Mr. Liu looked at me seriously, put down his chopsticks, and motioned for me to continue.

I pondered for a few seconds and said, "Let's start from the beginning to the end. I have known the story you told me since I was a child."

"However, only the second half,"

Mr. Liu was stunned: "The second half?"

I nodded and said, "That mysterious man comes from a place called the Imperial Master's Mansion. Mr. Liu, you must have heard of this name."

Mr. Liu's body trembled: "Guo... Guoshifu? Yang Xiaoyou, are you... not a descendant of Guoshifu?"

He is very smart.

Hit the mark.

I didn't hide anything: "Yes, that mysterious man is a staff member of the Imperial Prefect's Office, and he should be considered my grandfather."

"The reason why he was willing to step forward to save the life of the great scholar was partly because he was an upright official."

"On the other hand, it's because the bronze tripod is an important weapon of the country."

"That grave is not anyone's grave."
