Early on the next morning, Zhang Zhongxin and several companions rushed to Huguang. The day they arrived in Yunmeng County happened to be the day when Jin Chan and others entered the city.

Jin Chan and Yin Zhu were ordered to follow the two men surnamed Zhang. Li Haoquan went to the street to inquire about the news. Li Haoran asked Yue Le to lead the way to buy osmanthus candy. The two of them were the first to come back. When they came back, they saw only

Leaving Jiang Jie alone, Li Haoran was puzzled but did not ask. Naturally, Yue Le did not dare to ask.

When it was almost evening, Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, and Li Haoquan came back one after another. Everyone ate their food and hurried out of the city and rushed back. When they were approaching Baiyang Township, the sky was already dark. At this time, at the intersection

Two country men came, walking in a hurry and walking very fast. Suddenly, one of them said with a panicked look on his face: "Oh my god, I have already walked that road. When I passed by the Guo family compound,

I always cover my ears and walk."

"I told you not to take shortcuts, but you acted like you were fearless at that time. Look at how cowardly you are. When you first passed by the Guo Family Courtyard, your face changed with fright." Another person said.

One person said.

"Didn't I want to cross the Guo Family Courtyard before the weather turns bright? Who would have thought that it was still a step too late. The cold wind is really scary. I heard people from Baiyang Township say that it's not a bad time to leave at this time.

Damn it, if you wait a little later, at the third watch, you can still hear the baby crying from the courtyard." said the man from before.

The two people walked quickly, and while talking, they walked past Jin Chan and others. After the two people walked away, Jin Chan said: "I just heard in the city that this Guo family compound is haunted. I

Even though Jin Chan is so big, he has never seen what a ghost looks like, and he really wants to go in and have a look."

Hearing what he said, Li Haoquan became more energetic and said, "Who says it's not the case? I also want to take a look. Anyway, there's nothing wrong, so let's go take a look. Husband Jiang, what are you looking for?"

Yue Su always respected Jiang Jie, so the others were even more so. They all looked at Jiang Jie, waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Jie has never believed in ghosts and gods, so he is inevitably a little curious about the Guo family's ghost house. But the most urgent task now is to inform Yue Su of the news he got today. How can he let his curiosity delay him? He pondered for a moment.

, said: "It's too late to go to the Haunted Mansion tomorrow. I think we should go to the Yue family's ancestral graves to see the adults now."

Now that he said that, even if Jin Chan and others were curious, they couldn't say anything more. After all, business was important. They rushed to the Yue family's ancestral grave together. Yue Le suddenly said at this moment: "Masters, it's not early now.

, is the little one able to return home... where is the ancestral grave... don't you all know the place..."

"It's possible to find it during the day, but it's getting late now. We've only been there twice, and we're afraid of losing our way. Little Lezi, you'd better work hard and lead us on another trip. Wait.

If you meet the master, you will be rewarded." Jiang Jie said deliberately. Jiang Jie's memory is not very good. Generally, he can remember a place as long as he has been there once. It is pure nonsense to say that he is afraid of getting lost.

.

Yue Le seemed to want to go back home and said, "It's too late now. How about I take a few more people there tomorrow morning?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If I ask you to lead the way, you will lead the way." Seeing Yue Leyu, Jin Chan's voice suddenly rose.

Yue Le was startled and did not dare to say anything more, so he had to lead the way honestly. Since it was an ancestral grave, it must be in a remote place outside the countryside. Everyone was out for a walk today and did not ride horses. It would be very difficult to rush from here.

Time consuming.

When we arrived at the ancestral grave of the Yue family, it was already the second watch of the sky. When we could vaguely see the thatched hut built by Yue Su, we suddenly heard a voice shouting: "Who is coming?"

"I am Jiang Jie, sir, are you here?" Jiang Jie said loudly.

"It turns out to be Jiang Jie's husband. Your Excellency is drinking in front of the grave. Please follow me." The one who spoke was a guard who was on guard. After Jiang Jie and others approached, he led them to the grave of Yue Su's father.

Since Yue Su settled down in the cemetery, in addition to offering incense to his father every day, he would also often serve food and wine, sit alone in front of his father's grave, drink a few drinks, and talk to his father. It can be said that he now spends almost three days a day.

Every meal is eaten in front of his father's grave. In Yue Su's words, since he became an official, he has never eaten with his father at the same table. Now that he is finally back, no matter what, he has to eat with his father every day.

"Father, do you still remember how you taught your child to carve puppets when he was a child? At that time, the child only practiced it seriously for fun. Unexpectedly, this skill turned out to be the basis for promotion. That year, the imperial court inspected the

When I went to Beijing, I met a young man on the street and competed with him on my carving skills. I even beat him and got a jade pendant. No one would have thought that a few years later, the young man would become the emperor, the late emperor.

, he not only remembers the original fight between the child and him, but also never forgets the child. He is kind to the child and takes care of the orphan. Although he is the emperor, he is always like a friend in front of the child. Whenever I see him

, I feel very friendly. Father, this is what he looks like..." Yue Su said to himself, and while speaking, he took out a puppet from his arms, and this puppet looked exactly like Zhu Youxiao.

He placed the puppet next to his father's tombstone, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, your great kindness to me will never be forgotten by me. When you asked me to be an orphan, my promise to you will also be remembered."

I will never forget it. If I still have one breath left, I will definitely devote myself to the emperor and die. My father under the Nine Springs is the witness. Your Majesty, if you are lonely down here and want to find someone to compete with carpentry, you can ask my father. My father's skills

, far above the humble ministers, you two will definitely have a great time and feel that it is too late to meet each other. The Ming Dynasty is now in its decline, and it is dissatisfied with the emperor. I am a reborn person who has a little understanding of history and knows

In a few years, the Tartars will enter the pass to replace the Ming Dynasty and change the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty. I have been greatly favored by Your Majesty and do not want to see this happen and let our glorious country fall into the hands of the barbarians. Today I will do my best to punish them.

Destroy the foreign invaders and protect your majesty's country for eternity. I will wait for you to pacify Liaodong and revive the Ming Dynasty in the future. I will accompany your majesty in hell for now. I am willing to be the emperor's minister in life, and I am willing to be the emperor's ghost in death."

Yue Su was an orphan in his previous life, with a somewhat withdrawn personality and no friends. However, he had a creed in life. As long as others were kind to him, he would repay him thousands of times. In this life, in addition to the upbringing of his parents, he had

In addition to kindness, the person who treated him best was Zhu Youxiao. A man of ninety-five years not only treated him as a friend, but also trusted him. How easy it was. Yue Su knew how to be grateful.

When Zhu Carpenter left him alone, he made up his mind to sell his life to the Zhu family.

"I sometimes feel sorry for you when I think about it. I have taken advantage of you, but please rest assured, Your Majesty. What I did was not for myself, but for the Ming Dynasty..."

He was talking to his father for a while, and for a while he was talking to Zhu Youxiao. In the end, he was talking to himself. He could never forget his father's kindness in raising him, and he still couldn't forget Zhu Carpenter's deep affection.

Yue Su had taken advantage of the emperor, but Carpenter Zhu was not a fool. He believed in Yue Su. Whether it was setting up the West Factory or anything else, he was willing to let Yue Su take advantage of everything. This is trust, the trust of Bi.

As he was talking, Yue Su suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the distance. He quickly put Zhu Youxiao's puppet into his arms, wiped away his tears, sat back down, and poured himself a drink. These days, Yue Su

When Su came here to talk to his father again, no one was left by his side. He sent all the guards far away, leaving him alone here.

"Sir..." Yue Su heard the footsteps stop seven or eight steps away from him. It was Jiang Jie's voice, and he heard it clearly.

"It turns out it's husband Jiang. I wonder what's wrong with my husband coming to see me at this time?" Yue Su didn't look back and just asked.

"Today, my subordinates went to the county town with Jin Chan and others for dinner and heard some not very good news. I wonder if your Excellency knows about these things," Jiang Jie said.

"What's the news? Husband, come and sit down." Yue Su said.

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Jie walked to Yue Su's side in a few steps.

Yue Su sat on the floor, and Jiang Jie also sat aside and said in a low voice: "I heard that..."

At that moment, Jiang Jie explained everything he had heard in the restaurant.

"Ah..." After listening to Jiang Jie's story, Yue Su was shocked. He never expected that his family would do such things. He said in disbelief: "Are these things true?"

"My subordinate has asked Li Haoquan to go and inquire. He said that he had inquired clearly. However, Yue Le was present at the time and my subordinate did not ask in detail." Jiang Jie said.

"Then let Haoquan come over and see me." Yue Su ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Jin Chan, Li Haoquan and others came with Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie agreed and turned around to call Li Haoquan over. Li Haoquan walked closer and heard Yue Su ask: "Haoquan, I heard Jiang's husband said that he sent you here."

I inquired about some things in the city, what was the result of your inquiry?"

"Replying to your lord, I asked a few beggars in the city and learned from them that your family...is...here..." Li Haoquan bowed to speak, and his voice became louder the further he spoke.

It got smaller and smaller, and in the end, even if the people heard it, they obviously didn't dare to continue talking.

"Haoquan, you have been with me for many years. Don't you know my character? But it's okay." Yue Su nodded towards Li Haoquan.

"Yes, sir. Your family is a tyrant in the local area. Not only does it run rampant in the countryside, preying on the people, but it also colludes with the government, steals men and dominates women, and does all kinds of things that are unconscionable..." Li Haoquan

As he spoke, his voice dropped again.

"What?" After hearing this, Yue Su jumped up angrily and stood up. But then his body swayed, staggered, and almost fell back. He looked at his father's tombstone and shook his head with all his strength.

Said: "Father, why is this happening at home?"

"Click!" At this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded, and this lightning flashed across the silent night sky.
