In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to prevent theft of the cemeteries of Mongolian princes, they often took such measures: they would bury the deceased on the grassland without leaving a grave, remove the turf before burial, and then plant the turf after burial.

Return to the original place. Such a burial method will leave no traces and leave no trace.

But how do you find these cemeteries during sacrifices? It turns out that when the deceased is buried, the family will kill a baby camel at the cemetery and let its blood spill on the ground. In this process, the mother of the baby camel must be buried.

Watching from the side, this way the female camel will remember this place deeply. Camels have a strong sense of direction, so when it comes time to offer sacrifices, as long as the female camel finds the place where the baby camel was killed, she will also find the cemetery of her ancestors.

.

Therefore, the biggest fear of all those who carefully build a mausoleum for themselves is to be discovered. This discovery suddenly made Xiao Ling realize that the reason why grandma used this expensive and laborious method to build a "haunted house" had only one purpose.

, that is confidentiality.

Find craftsmen from thousands of miles away, blindfold these craftsmen during the journey, and then send these craftsmen away in the same way after working for a period of time. This ensures that the craftsmen will not

They know the location of the "Yin Mansion" and do not let the same batch of craftsmen complete the project because they do not want the craftsmen to master the structure of the "Yin Mansion". Moreover, for each batch of craftsmen, they will not be told what they are building, just

Just assign specific tasks for him to do.

So why would grandma go to all the trouble to build such a huge and secret "haunted house"? There is only one possible reason, she wants to bury a lot of gold and silver in it!

Thinking of this, Xiaoli felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. When his grandfather Li Yuanwai died, he specifically stated in his will that everything should be kept simple, not to build a luxurious tomb, and not to bury anything valuable with him. He also said that no matter what

In the underworld and the human world, the most important thing is not gold and silver, but good intentions and hard work. Without these, money will lead to disaster.

Therefore, Yuan Li's burial was very simple. It was no different from ordinary people. The only extravagance was the huge stone tablet in front of the grave. Such a stone tablet was carved at the unanimous request of the local squires, officials, and ordinary people.

, to record in detail the countless good deeds Li Yuanwai did throughout his life.

Unexpectedly, the huge wealth accumulated by grandpa in his life would be buried in the soil by this cruel grandma. What makes Xiaoli even more confused is why grandma wants to bury so much wealth with her? Although grandma is mean, ungrateful, and ruthless

, moody, but according to his long-term observation, grandma is not crazy about money, nor is she stingy. She often spends a lot of money to reward her close servants without caring about money at all. Then why does she hide it in her grave?

So much money?

This makes Xiaoli puzzled. Another point is that Xiaoli read in the book that many emperors would kill the craftsmen who built the tombs. This was to prevent the location of the tombs from being leaked. So would grandma do it?

How about doing the same thing? Because the last group of craftsmen responsible for the completion are bound to carry a large amount of gold and silver, so these people are also the most likely to find ways to rob the tomb. How will grandma deal with these people?

In the yard where Zhang lived, there were always two figures sneaking around late at night. Xiao Ling knew that those were the two most trusted servants of grandma. Everything planned by grandma was controlled by these two people.

Go and implement it. These two servants have been with Zhang for nearly twenty years. They are considered loyal. Even when Li Yuanwai was alive, these two people were responsible for taking care of the yard where Zhang lived. At that time, although Zhang was very unlucky,

However, these two people were still respectful to the Zhang family without any neglect. On the one hand, they may be loyal to the Zhang family, but on the other hand, it may be that the Zhang family did not reward them with less money.

Even in the last few decades when Zhang was the most neglected, Li Yuanwai never deducted Zhang's food and clothing expenses, and gave him as much as he should. This only fully reflected Li Yuanwai's "kindness". Zhang's

Although she was depressed mentally, she was still rich materially. In addition to the stipulated monthly salary, the two servants who served her were constantly rewarded with large sums of money.

So these two people were naturally very attentive to Ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang was ignored by everyone in the Li family. This made Ms. Zhang very disappointed and desolate. She could only vaguely experience it with these two people.

In her early years, she held a very important position in the Li family.

As soon as Li Yuanwai died, the Zhang family regained control of the Li family. Naturally, these two people "one of them achieved enlightenment, and a chicken or a dog ascended to heaven" - they were quickly used by Zhang family. As the saying goes, once the emperor and the court minister, Zhang family made them both serve as emperors.

They were fully responsible for the management of daily affairs, as well as the personnel rights of servants, etc. Like the Zhang family, they were marginal figures in the Li family. In addition, their characters were not very good, so when Mr. Li was outside,

, most people rarely look at them, but this time it is good, the salted fish has made a big turn, the villain has succeeded, and for their own jobs, most of the servants have to look up to them.

"Arrogant", once this kind of villain comes to power, you can imagine how domineering he will be. The pretty maids of Mr. Li's family suffered a lot. Many of them were molested and even raped by these two boys. People treat these two things very badly.

They all gnashed their teeth in hatred, but because Mrs. Zhang was supporting them, they couldn't do anything to them and could only endure it.

In addition to Zhang's two confidants, Xiao Li also noticed that there was another mysterious figure who participated in Zhang's operation. This so-called mysterious figure was the master of the nunnery that Zhang often went to.

This nunnery owner and Mr. Zhang have been friends for decades. They can be said to be as close as sisters. The illegitimate child between Mr. Zhang and the Jew was secretly born in the nunnery under the cover of the nunnery owner. This old nun was originally

She is about the same age as Zhang, already over seventy, but she does not look old at all. Her face is still delicate and smooth, with almost no wrinkles visible, and her figure is also very well maintained. She looks like she is forty at most.

Xiao Ling has met this nun several times. I don’t know why, but every time I see her, I am always swayed. I feel that this old nun has a special kind of charming charm, especially her beautiful eyes.

Her heart was beating wildly. Xiao Ling knew that this old nun was definitely not an ordinary person.

No one in Xiaoli's father or other brothers seems to care about what Mrs. Zhang is doing. No matter what Mrs. Zhang's character is, she is his closest relative after all, and the money they receive is more than when grandpa Li Yuanwai was alive.

Also, when Li Yuanwai was alive, the upbringing was too strict and everyone was very depressed. Now it's better. Once grandma is in charge of the family, she can play as she likes and doesn't care at all. Therefore, Xiaoli's brothers and sisters play together every day.

They are busy having fun and living a very happy life. Who would have thought that the Li family is facing a huge crisis?

So Xiaoli felt that he was so lonely in this family, but when he thought of his grandfather's loving eyes, and his high expectations and love for him, he couldn't help crying, but at the same time, his heart was filled with incomparable strength.

.Especially in the past year or two, grandpa did not treat him as a child at all, but seemed to treat him as an adult, or even a friend. He also told him the history of the family, even the history that should not be mentioned to him.

.Among these many secrets are those about Grandma Zhang and the Jews.

Xiaoli blushed when he heard this. He didn't know why his grandfather said this to him, but he knew that this was his grandfather's incomparable trust in him. There seemed to be some kind of expectation hidden in this trust.

But he is an eighteen-year-old kid after all. Facing his cruel grandma and that mysterious and unusual old nun, he really doesn’t know what to do. But fortunately, there is still someone in the family who can help him - that

That's Mr. Zhao.

This Mr. Zhao came to the Li family two years ago. He was the private school teacher hired by his grandfather. The strange thing is that after his grandfather invited this Mr. Zhao, he only taught Xiao Lian, while the other grandchildren were taught by others.

My husband taught me. Xiaoli's brothers and brothers often complained privately that their grandfather was too partial. Because he liked Xiaoli, he even hired a master to open a small stove for him. Why are the same grandsons treated so differently?

Yuan Wai's son also had the courage to complain to his father's favoritism in person, which could be regarded as a grievance for the other sons. But at that time, Yuan Wai neither got angry nor explained, but only had a cold expression on his face.

expression, listening quietly.

Xiaoli still clearly remembers that when Mr. Zhao first came to their home, he didn’t give Xiaoli any lessons. Instead, whenever he had time, he would chat with Mr. Li and the other two. Every time they chatted, they were

We talked alone in the house behind closed doors, without a third person present, as if we were talking about something top-secret.

Xiaoli still clearly remembers that just a few months before his grandfather died, on a calm afternoon, his grandfather specially called him to the backyard, to the study on the lake. Although he grew up in this big house,

Every plant and tree in the yard is so familiar, but to Xiaoli, Grandpa's very special "study on the lake" is extremely unfamiliar. It is the most mysterious room in the yard. As long as he can remember, he has...

Enter this study no more than three times.

It was in that study room that, for some reason, grandpa told him in detail about Mr. Zhao’s magical life experience. Grandpa’s first words shocked Xiaoli: “That Mr. Zhao is not an ordinary person, he is

Descendants of Emperor Jianwen".

Descendants of Emperor Jianwen? Xiaoli has read many history books, and of course he knows about Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen was the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, Emperor Jianwen's father was established as the prince, but

He died before he became emperor. So, when Zhu Yuanzhang died, he passed the throne directly to his grandson Emperor Jianwen. And Zhu Yuanzhang's other son, King of Yan Zhu Di, saw that his nephew became emperor, and of course he was not convinced, so

They raised troops and attacked the palace. According to official history, Emperor Jianwen died in a fire when his uncle Zhu Di attacked the palace.
