The rushing water continues to move eastward, accompanied by bursts of "crash" sounds as it washes away the stone piers on the river bank, which makes the already somewhat silent riverside seem even more silent.--...

Fang Zhengnan's question hit the mark on what Zhengyao and Qi Mingzhi were thinking. However, whether it was Zhengyao or Qi Mingzhi, the two of them could only guess up to this point, as to who was killing them behind the scenes.

Why? Why did you kill someone and then push him into the river to deliberately show the illusion of jumping into the river to commit suicide? After killing someone, wouldn't it be better to just bury him in the soil and be done with it? Why do so many things in vain?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, it seems like I've reached a dead end again here.

In the end, Zhengyao could only smile bitterly, but he was too anxious.

"Uncle the village chief...Uncle the village chief——"

Just when everyone was deep in thought, suddenly a man hurriedly ran up from the field path. The man could be heard running and shouting, looking panicked, something must have happened.

A shout that pierced the sky immediately brought Zhengyao and others back to their senses, and everyone couldn't help but look at the person coming.

The person who came was a woman, to be precise, a woman in her thirties. Her clothes were simple, her face was sallow, and her voice sounded very rough. I think it was caused by the long days and months of hard work in the fields by farm women.

But from the way she called Fang Zhengnan uncle, I believe she and Fang Zhengnan are still related.

"It's Xiaoying! Why are you so panicked and anxious?"

When the woman ran up to Fang Zhengnan, Fang Zhengnan saw clearly who the person was. This Fang Zhengnan must have lost his sight. Hearing the way he called her "Xiaoying", anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

You can feel the doting affection of the elders for the younger ones.

That's right, this woman is none other than the daughter of Fang Zhengnan's second brother, so she calls him uncle. Speaking of which, the Fang family also has an unfortunate family background. Fang Zhengnan and his second brother Fang Zhengyu have been dependent on each other since they were children. When they grow up,

Fang Zhengnan was elected as the village chief for his integrity and loyalty, while Fang Zhengyu also married Qi Qing, the only daughter of the Qi family in the neighboring garden. The brothers and their family lived a happy and happy life, which was envied by others.

But who would have known that a sudden accident thirty years ago caused a devastating blow to the family. It was a snowy night. Fang Zhengnan did not go home because he had to deal with matters in the village. Fang Zhengyu and his wife Qi Qing

ready to arrive

Back from the mountain, he brought some supplements such as wild ginseng to replenish the health of his two-year-old daughter Fang Ying. However, the two of them never came back. Later, after the heavy snow melted, Fang Zhengnan was shocked to find that his second brother and sister-in-law had died in the house.

Among the snowdrifts in the back mountain.

According to speculation at the time, it was a blizzard. Neither of them could survive it, and were eventually buried in the heavy snow... leaving their two-year-old daughter Fang Ying to herself, which made Fang Zhengnan feel heartbroken.

Sad.

Later, Fang Zhengnan gradually raised Fang Ying, found an in-law for him, and married Fang Zeming from another Fang family. This Fang Zeming also lived in the same garden as Qi Ming.

Zhengyao naturally didn't know this, but it wasn't important. What was important was that he now knew that Fang Ying was Fang Zhengnan's niece. When Ri asked questions at the door of Qi's house, he didn't see Fang Ying appear. This couldn't help but

Let him feel surprised.

Fang Ying wiped her chest and tried hard to regulate her breathing. After a long time, she said: "Uncle, Huang Yu'er, it's Huang Yu'er, she, she..."

Fang Ying was still a little excited. She took her last breath for a long time, but still couldn't express her meaning clearly.

"Huang Yu'er? What's wrong with Huang Yu'er?"

The one who spoke was Zhengyao, who immediately came over and asked. For Zhengyao, this Huang Yuer was really a bit unpredictable. A madman, a widow, a woman who was not beautiful but was very lively.

, she is quite legendary.

Fang Zhengnan was also curious. Normally, although Fang Ying and Huang Yu'er lived under the same roof, they basically didn't talk to each other. But now that Huang Yu'er had such an expression, he couldn't help but feel something was wrong, so he nodded repeatedly.

He looked at Fang Ying.

Fang Ying took a deep breath and said immediately: "Hurry...go to the ancestral hall quickly, Huang...Huang Yu'er is going to do harm to Brother Ming!"

"What?"

Not only Zhengyao, but also Fang Zhengnan and Qi Mingzhi were stunned for a while.

Needless to say, the Ming brother Fang Ying mentioned must be Fang Zeming, Fang Ying's husband. However, a crazy woman wanted to harm an adult man and Fang Ying reacted like this. It seems that the situation has developed to an unimaginable level.

situation.

"Ancestral hall? Come on, let's talk while walking!" Fang Zhengnan immediately took steps, regardless of whether the soil in the field got on his trousers, and ran straight to the bamboo house opposite in three or two steps.

Fang Ying's life is hard enough. If that crazy woman goes crazy and really hurts Fang Zeming, this will naturally be another major blow to Fang Ying. His second brother died early, and Fang Ying seems to be

Like his own daughter, he would never allow Fang Ying to be harmed in any way.

"Ancestral hall?" Zhengyao muttered in confusion, then pulled Ning An over and followed him.

Generally speaking, ancestral halls are places where tribesmen worship their ancestors or sages. Ancestral halls have many uses. In addition to "worshiping ancestors and worshiping ancestors", ancestral halls are also used by the descendants of each house for weddings, funerals, birthdays, weddings and other events.

These spacious ancestral halls are used for activities. In addition, clan relatives sometimes use ancestral halls as gathering places to discuss important affairs within the clan.

Therefore, the ancestral hall is a relatively sacred and respected place, but now Huang Yuer is so crazy that going to the ancestral hall would be detrimental to Fang Zeming. It seems that she is very crazy.

Not long after, a large number of people arrived outside a large courtyard in the middle of Wuming Village.

Ancestral hall buildings are generally larger in scale and of better quality than private houses. The more powerful and wealthy the family, the more exquisite their ancestral halls are. The tall halls, exquisite carvings, and high-quality materials have become a symbol of the family's ancestral glory.

Most ancestral halls have a hall name. The hall name is written by a clan member or a calligraphy expert with a different surname. It is made into a gold plaque and hung high in the main hall. Next to it are plaques with the origin of the surname, the glory of the clan, and the chastity of women. Some of the more exquisite ones also have couplets.

If it is a royal seal from the emperor, a "Zhitu plaque" can be made. The size and number of plaques in the ancestral hall are the capital of the clan members. Some ancestral halls have a flagpole stone in front, indicating that the clan members have achieved meritorious status.

Generally speaking, ancestral halls have one surname and one temple. In the old days, clan rules were very strict. Even women or underage children in the clan, not to mention those with foreign surnames, were not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise they would be severely punished. However, this ancestral hall is different from other ancestral halls.

It's so different. Just by looking at the name, I feel it's unusual.

"Sangong Ancestral Hall".

Four large characters in regular script were hung on the plaque at the entrance of the ancestral hall. People could feel its solemnity and ancient fragrance at a glance. Zhengyao couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"This ancestral hall is really special. It seems like I have seen it before somewhere." Ning An looked up and down the ancestral hall and said to himself.

When Zhengyao heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Ning An in confusion, and then said: "Have you seen it before?"

At this moment, Zheng Yao was staring at Ning An with suspicious eyes. This immediately made Ning An feel uncomfortable and did not dare to look directly at Zheng Yao.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning An said: "I just feel like I've seen it somewhere before. Are you serious about it? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ning An's tone sounded innocent and tight, as if he had been wronged in some way, which made Zheng Yao laugh for a while.

"Haha, I'm just asking. I've never seen it before. But this ancestral hall looks quite solemn. Although it's not as good as your royal ancestral halls and temples, it should be second to none among the people."

Zhengyao pursed his lips and smiled. He was not talking nonsense. Although there are few ancestral halls now, when he was in Shuzhong, he still knew that the Li family had an ancestral hall, but the Li family's ancestral hall did not dare to be too ostentatious.

Attract the court

Note that after all, our ancestor Li Jinglong was from the Jianwen faction in the Hongwu case and could be regarded as a traitor in the previous dynasty. If he openly came out to build a temple to worship, it would not attract the attention of those officials and give them the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.

?

Therefore, for Zhengyao, the ancestral hall in front of him is indeed second to none, at least among the ancestral halls he has ever seen.

"He...they are inside! Ming...Brother Ming is being tied up by Huang Yu'er, saying...that he must see Qi Ming her...before she lets him go, otherwise it will be detrimental to Brother Ming!"

Fang Ying spoke excitedly, and without saying a word, you could feel how worried she was for Fang Zeming all the time. From this, it became clear that Fang Ying was indeed a good wife. People said: Husband and wife are born with the same destiny, and they will be separated when disaster strikes.

Fei. But now Fang Ying cares so much about her husband's safety, which is really rare.

"Binding? Uh, no, you said she wants to meet Qi Ming?" Zhengyao opened his eyes and looked at Fang Ying in confusion and asked.

Huang Yu'er has gone crazy. This is something everyone knows. However, at this moment, she is still thinking about Qi Ming in her heart. How much does Huang Yu'er love Qi Ming?

"Equal names!!!"

Others couldn't help but shudder.

Isn't Qi Ming already dead? Huang Yu'er actually wants to see a dead person and uses a living person as a threat. What should we do?

"This..." Everyone was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

For everyone, there is still some worry in their hearts.

After all, Huang Yu'er has gone crazy. The thoughts of madmen are different from ordinary people, so they cannot consider their thoughts in a normal manner. If you go in hastily, you may not only be unable to save Fang Zeming, but you may also be injured by Huang Yu'er.

The key is that Huang Yuer's martial arts is not bad.

So, everyone was lingering at the entrance of the ancestral hall. You looked at me and I looked at you, including Qi Mingzhi and Fang Zhengnan.

When Fang Ying saw everyone standing motionless, looking hesitant and embarrassed, she immediately knelt down and said: "Uncle! Please, please think of a solution first! Brother Ming must be fine!"

"Quick, get up! You kid!" Fang Zhengnan helped Fang Ying up, looking full of guilt.

Why didn't he want to save Fang Zeming? But he knew that his martial arts skills were no match for the crazy Huang Yu'er, and he might accidentally injure Fang Zeming, which would still be a blow to Fang Ying after all. So he had to think carefully about how to deal with it.

Yes, don't be too arbitrary.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Zhengyao didn't care whether it was thirty-seven or twenty-one, and immediately said: "Let's go in first and talk later!"

After saying that, Zhengyao took Ning An's little hand and took the lead to walk into the gate of the ancestral hall. At this moment, he could not care about the rules that outsiders were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. (To be continued.
