Peng Ziqi first contacted the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Peiping and asked him to pay attention to the movements of several Hu people. We all share the same lineage, and the White Lotus Sect in Peiping is located in a remote area. When the disciples go out, they often need other people.
The local White Lotus Sect organization took care of him, and he naturally agreed to such a small matter. Soon, the city foxes and gangsters, the gangsters in Peiping, took a look at the group of Hu people who were being diagnosed, treated and prescribed medicine.
Later, Ximen Qing brought Peng Ziqi near Lakshen's residence. Lakshen had been living in Peiping for seven or eight years. In order to make a living, he also opened a local leather goods shop, but the store was very small and the business was poor. His real business
He was promoting business for the Mongolian tribes outside the customs. He was a broker among smugglers and smugglers. He didn't make a living at all, so he didn't care much about it.
Peng Ziqi identified the place and listened to Ximen Qing's detailed explanation of Lakshen's appearance, so he sat down in a nearby teahouse, drank tea slowly, and monitored the movement of the leather goods shop, waiting for those Mongolian people to obtain information from Lakshen.
connect.
Xia Xun and Ximen Qingze immediately rushed to Xie's Mansion and asked Xie Chuanzhong to help arrange the transportation of leather goods, animal tendons and other items that were being shipped to Beiping City to Qingzhou.
In the Xie Mansion, Miss Xie Yufei was dressed plainly and sat gracefully. She held a brocade bag in her hand and warmed her chest and abdomen. She was looking intently at a yellowed book on the table with her water-cut eyes.
While reading the booklet, Xie Chuanzhong and his wife Huang stood aside with an air of dignity and did not dare to breathe.
He took a sip of tea, savored the taste, and turned the page of the booklet. After a long time, Miss Xie closed the booklet. Xie Chuanzhong quickly stepped forward and said cautiously: "Auntie, what do you think...how is it?"
"Well..."
Xie Yufei responded noncommittally, took another sip of tea, and said without raising her head or eyes: "I have seen a lot of physical objects and documents these days, and it seems that there is no problem. Judging from the existing information and evidence,
Let’s see, you are indeed a descendant of my Xie family.”
Xie Chuanzhong and his wife looked at each other in surprise, and Xie Yufei added: "Judging from the time in your family tree, your family should have been captured by the Yuan people who captured Wen Tianxiang and Prime Minister Wen in Chaoyang, and escorted him back to Dadu.
Migrant workers, you will settle here from now on..."
Xie Chuanzhong nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what happened."
Xie Yufei nodded slightly and said: "Well, in the genealogy records of my Xie family, there is also a record that the family's children were lost to the north because of the Yuan soldiers' random capture of the people. When we guessed your origins a few days ago, Feifei and I were still thinking about it.
After this incident, it seems that I guessed it right, you are the descendant of the tribe that my Xie family lost in the beginning."
"Auntie..."
Xie Chuanzhong was not afraid of being ugly even at his age. He took a step forward with tears in his eyes and showed his true feelings as if he had finally met his relatives.
Xie Yufei quickly took a step back and said solemnly: "Now that it has been proven that you are a descendant of our Xie family in Chen County, and you also have the intention to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, I am very happy. You have a great career in Beiping, so it is very uncomfortable to leave."
It's easy, but recognizing your ancestors is a very solemn event. You have to go back sooner or later to pay tribute and bow to your ancestors."
Xie Chuanzhong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this is what it should be."
Xie Yufei added: "When I came here, I had already hand-recorded a genealogy of my Xie family. A grand ceremony will be held to change the genealogy. As your elder, I will personally re-add your genealogy."
The genealogy is left to you. In the future, your descendants will have to record it in the genealogy in order, and then report it to the family to ensure consistency."
Hold a *** ceremony?
This was exactly what Xie Chuanzhong wanted. He was eager to invite all the famous people to announce his distinguished family background in public. Xie Chuanzhong agreed with a smile, turned around and took a brocade box from his wife, and presented it to Xie Yufei respectfully: "Auntie, this is
This is Chuanzhong's kindness. As a descendant of the Xie family, Chuanzhong could not bear to see his ancestral temple withered and the incense dim when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He also asked his aunt to take this money back to repair the ancestral temple, which was considered a good thing.
The Chuanzhong lineage has been lost for many years, and we have not been able to offer any small compensation of blood food to our ancestors."
Xie Yufei took the brocade box in her hand, and it was so heavy that her hands suddenly sank. She didn't even look at what was in it, so she put it aside and said with a faint smile: "This is your intention. It's out of filial piety."
Ancestor, it’s hard for me to refuse.”
Xie Chuanzhong said: "That's natural, that's natural. This is Chuanzhong's duty and cannot be shied away from. Chuanzhong also prepared two generous gifts. When my aunt returns home..."
Xie Yufei said: "That's not necessary."
Xie Chuanzhong said: "That can't be done. This is Chuanzhong's filial piety towards his aunt and great uncle. It should be done. It should be done."
At this time, the housekeeper coughed outside the door and said, "Master, Mr. Xia Xun and Mr. Gao Shengsheng are here to visit."
After hearing this, Xie Chuanzhong hurriedly said: "Chuanzhong has foreign guests arriving, so I will leave now. My aunt will rest first. Regarding the ancestor recognition ceremony, Chuanzhong will make good preparations."
Xie Yufei hummed lightly, and when the couple left, she immediately stood up nervously: "Xia Xun? What is he here for?"
Then he burst into laughter: "He already has business dealings with Xie Chuanzhong, what does he have to do with me? He is really suspicious."
Although she comforted herself in this way, she always felt uneasy. She always had a sense of danger towards the guy named Xia Xun, like a sensitive little animal encountering its natural enemy.
"My Dai family's house is the first house in the alley just now."
With tears in his eyes, Dai Yubin lamented to Lakshen and others: "My late father Xiao Lou Gong... told me repeatedly when he passed away from illness that he must take back his former residence in his lifetime. That is the place where my Dai family's ancestors have lived for generations. Now my ancestral home is
It's so close, yet so far away, and I still can't get in."
Lakshen advised: "Don't be sad. If our plan succeeds, there is still a chance to come back."
Dai Yubin said sadly: "But by then, my ancestral home will also be in ruins."
Shirebari pushed him away impatiently and said, "Anda, you're a great man. Why, my mother-in-law's ancestral house was burned down. Wouldn't it be enough to build one twice as big and twice as wide?"
After saying that, he turned to Lakshen and asked, "How are the things I asked you to prepare?"
Lakshen's honest, honest and unscrupulous look in front of Xia Xun and Ximen Qing disappeared. His eyes were full of shrewdness. When he saw Shireba Ri asking questions, Lakshen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir.
They were ordered at seven blacksmith shops. They had no idea that the things the villain ordered were flying claws and ground-gripping boots. We needed to assemble them ourselves after getting them back. Leather clothes, leather pants and ropes were also purchased.
, available at any time.”
Shirebari nodded and said, "Your little sister will be needed for this matter. Have you told her about our plan?"
Lakshen said: "She is young and ignorant. I'm afraid that if she knew about it early, she would be exposed, so I didn't tell her anything about the plan. But don't worry, sir, my sister and I are dependent on each other and have a very good relationship. When the time comes, I will just
Tell her what to do and she will do it without hesitation."
Shirebari smiled happily and said: "Okay, that's good. This matter really cannot be done without her help. What is your sister's name? Oh, Toya, I remember her name is Toya, right?"
Lakshen said: "Yes, my sister's name is Narentoya."
"Yes, yes, Narentoya, I met her eight years ago. She was still a shy little girl at that time. She was already very handsome. She must be even more beautiful now, right?"
Lakshen said proudly: "Yes, there are no ugly maids in Prince Yan's palace, but among those maids, my little sister is also a fresh flower."
Shirebari laughed and said: "Okay, if this big thing is successful, the Great Khan will definitely be crowned my king. By then, your sister will inevitably have the position of a princess."
Lakshen was surprised and happy, and said quickly: "Thank you, sir."
After hearing this, other people all joined in the fun and congratulated the newly married couple. After a while of noise and confusion, Shiribari said: "It's so surprising that so many people live in your small shop.
If there is no place, it is best to settle them separately. When everything is ready, we can gather together and sneak into Prince Yan's Mansion."
Lakshen smiled and said: "There is a place, there is a place. This place is just a place for villains to contact and make deals. They don't live here permanently. I will place the brothers separately in a while."
"That Lakshen took those Mongols to his place, and then sent them to several places for resettlement, leaving only the sick old man and another person."
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing went to see Xie Chuanzhong and asked him to start using his trading channels to deliver goods. More than an hour after returning to Yuelai Inn, Peng Ziqi also came and told her what she saw and what the informant told her.
Tell Xia Xun.
Xia Xun said: "Hang on, what's the name of the Mongolian man who sent me off, but that Han Chinese named Dai?"
Peng Ziqi said: "I don't know the name, but it's not him."
Xia Xun glanced at Ximen Qing, and Ximen Qing said harshly: "Maybe his son has other important matters, so he asked others to take care of him..." At this point, he knew that this reason was too far-fetched, and couldn't help but laugh.
Peng Ziqi added: "I followed him all the way and took note of the place where he settled those people. Then I saw him going to the blacksmith shop again. The strange thing is that he went to more than one blacksmith shop and brought back many things in a sneaky way.
, I continued to follow him and asked my local friends to check out the shops he had visited. As a result, I followed him around half of Peiping City, and finally found out that he also went to Prince Yan’s Mansion with a few boys who were returning to buy vegetables.
The chamberlain said a few words and then went back to his small leather goods shop."
"Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing frowned at the same time, "Prince Yan's Mansion?" If something really happened, the biggest headache for ordinary people like them would be to involve some powerful person. If it was Fengzi Longsun, it would be even more troublesome. This
People are very sneaky. God knows if he is plotting against Prince Yan's Palace or has something to do with Prince Yan's Palace. If he doesn't understand this, he will meddle in things in a confused way. He may lose his head and not even know how he died.
At this time, someone outside the door said something. Xia Xun and Ximen Qing did not hear it clearly. The voice sounded like singing and speaking, and the accent was vague. After hearing this, Peng Ziqi immediately stood up and said: "Wait for me for a while. be right back."
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing sat quietly waiting for each other. After a while, Peng Ziqi came back, holding a handful of things in his hand. When he put it on the table, there was a clanking sound, and it turned out to be a pile of iron hooks, hoops and nails of different sizes. Iron piece, Ximen Qingqing asked: "What is this?"
Peng Ziqi said: "This is what Lakshen ordered in seven blacksmith shops..."
