This time it was still Mr. He who answered Jin An and the others' questions.
This matter was mentioned on the first day before the group of antique dealers disappeared.
That group of antique dealers promised the He family and agreed to take action against the He family to eliminate harm to Lingqian Township.
But that Mrs. Zhang who stole the children's food.
But he is very good at hiding.
Mr. Yuan, one of the antique dealers, has never been able to catch Mrs. Zhang.
So Mr. Yuan approached the He family again.
They asked Ms. Zhang who she hated most in her life.
You don't need to ask about this to know that the "uncle" sold the eldest lady directly, saying that the person Zhang hated most in his life was the eldest lady.
Then he explained in detail the family scandal of the He family and the conflict between the Zhang family and the eldest lady.
After hearing this, Mr. Yuan made a request, saying that the ghost fetus in Zhang's belly seemed to have given birth to a lot of wisdom. He knew in advance that an exorcist was going to exorcise it, so he was hiding now.
Now there is only one way to force Zhang to show up.
That is to find the person Zhang hates the most and wants to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and then lure the snake out of its hole.
Since the eldest lady is the person Zhang hates the most, we can only use the eldest lady as bait to lure Zhang out.
Then, Mr. Yuan asked the He family who had the eldest lady’s birth date, hair, old clothes, nails and other personal belongings?
…
When the eldest lady heard this, her face was as dark as frost.
If He Liangchou was still here now, the eldest lady would probably have had an attack and asked her "good uncle" to step into the coffin ahead of schedule.
Mr. He continued to talk.
Because Lingqian Township is located in a remote area, far away from the capital, the eldest lady rarely returns to Lingqian Township. She only returns to Lingqian Township on important days such as festivals and ancestor worship ceremonies.
Therefore, there are no hair, nails, old clothes, etc. of the eldest lady in the ancestral home of the He family.
As for the horoscope of birth, the eldest lady has been married into the He family for so long that no one can remember the horoscope of birth twenty years ago. Even the family tree does not contain the horoscope of the eldest lady’s birthday.
Because the eldest lady was an outsider who married into the He family, in the male family tree, she was a vassal and was written under her husband's name. She only had a simple given name and no birth date.
The bad custom of men being superior to women in the countryside indirectly allowed the eldest lady to escape the disaster.
Since the eldest lady can't do it, she can only settle for the next best thing. The second most hated person by Mrs. Zhang is none other than the entire He family.
Among the many people in the He family, the person they hated most was naturally He Liangchou who divorced his wife without mercy.
He Liangchou shot himself in the foot.
You will not live if you do your own evil.
In order to exorcise Zhang and the ghost fetus in Zhang's belly as soon as possible, and after hearing from Mr. Yuan that there was no danger, He Liangchou couldn't care about anything, so he went all over himself and gave everything he had to the antique dealers.
.
I just hope he can be safe as soon as possible.
And the day after the group of antique dealers obtained He Liangchou's birthday, hair, nails and other belongings, those people disappeared inexplicably in Lingqian Township.
However, following the disappearance of the group of antique dealers, the incident of premature birth and stillbirth of pregnant women in Lingqian Township also subsided.
Therefore, people in Lingqian Township are speculating whether the evil spirits have been successfully exorcised?
At that time, everyone in Lingqian Township was immersed in joy. Even the He family temporarily forgot about the antique dealer asking He Liangchou for birth dates, nails, hair and other items.
If the old Taoist priest hadn't brought it up again today, they wouldn't have thought of it yet.
A group of old men from the He family have now seen the abilities of the old Taoist priest, and feel that the Taoist priest in front of them is definitely better at judging people than Mr. Yuan. Therefore, they all regard the old Taoist priest as a master, and they are frightened.
As a distinguished guest, I humbly ask for advice on how to save their eldest brother He Liangchou?
As the saying goes, when you are fifty, you know your destiny, and when you are sixty, your ears are attuned.
The older people get, the more they believe in the old Taoist priests’ metaphysical techniques of feng shui, yin and yang, fortune telling, and physiognomy.
The old Taoist priest was not a careless, narrow-minded person who refused to save anyone. He did not hide anything and told everything he knew.
"According to my experienced guess, there are only two possibilities for why these people took birth dates and body hair and skin belongings."
"First, it's really to slay demons."
"The second thing is that these antique dealers have a grudge against the He family..."
Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted. An old man from the He family shouted that it was impossible!
The He family has always been harmonious and kind to others. In the past few drought years, they even opened warehouses and distributed grain to help many villagers in Lingqian Township. There is absolutely no chance of them turning against others.
At this time, Mr. He scolded his third brother and told his third brother to shut up and not lose his etiquette. Then he apologized to the old Taoist priest and handed over his hand, asking the old Taoist priest to continue talking.
The old Taoist priest didn't react much. Instead, he took advantage of the interruption to secretly take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued to talk while shaking his head: "The reason why I guess, old Taoist, is that this group of antique dealers have something to do with the He family.
Qiu, I believe everyone in charge of the He family has seen it. The eldest wife and uncle are the best proof. These people are clearly here to rob the fortune of the He family. It is not necessarily the people in the ancestral home of the He family who have offended
That group of people may also be some business enemy that Mr. He Guihe offended when he was doing business abroad."
"The eldest lady is in charge of all the internal affairs of the He family. If the eldest lady is in chaos, the He family's ancestral house and the backyard of the He family will catch fire, which will cause a big blow to Mr. He Guihe's business. These antique dealers first wanted the birth date of the eldest lady.
, it is probably for this purpose. Fortunately, the eldest lady’s birthday and horoscope are well kept and are not easily leaked.”
"Seeing that Madam's side was not going to work, those people had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and turn their targets to other senior officials of the He family."
At this time, Jin An and the eldest lady both looked at the old Taoist priest.
Both of them felt that it was the right thing to bring the old Taoist priest (Taoist Master Chen) with them this time.
Otherwise, no one among them would be able to discover the true intention of that group of antique dealers to build the plank road secretly to visit Chen Cang.
Especially the eldest lady, there was a look of surprise on her face.
The old Taoist priest's concealment impressed all the family members present.
However, the old Taoist priest has a rigorous character, otherwise he would not be able to travel all over the country for so many years and still be intact.
After the old Taoist priest said so much, he finally added: "Of course, these are my personal conjectures."
"What is the real situation? We have to find the group of antique dealers to know the truth. It cannot be ruled out that the group of antique dealers are really dedicated to eradicating evil for the people. There is indeed a way to find Zhang who steals children's food to exorcise evil spirits."
This high-level family meeting of the He family lasted for half an hour. After learning all the changes in the Zhang family in detail, Jin An took the old Taoist priest and sharpened his sword and left the study for the time being.
Because what follows is mainly about talking about some internal affairs of the He family, which are all lengthy and mundane matters. Jin An has no interest in getting involved in these, so he makes an excuse and says that he is going to the Zhang family's Dazhuangzi to check if there are any other missing clues.
, left the study room early.
Guard Li did not leave with them.
After all, Guard Li still had to stay to protect the personal safety of the eldest lady.
Hearing that Jin'an and the others were going to investigate the Zhang family's village, Mr. He also appointed a direct bloodline of the He family to act as a temporary guide for Jin'an and the others.
"I have met several Taoist priests. My name is He Yiming, and I am He Gui's uncle. If the Taoist priests want to know anything, or want to go to Lingqian Township to investigate, I can lead the way for them.
"
"I grew up in Lingqian Township since I was a child, and I know everything about the surroundings of Lingqian Township."
The visitor was a Confucian scholar in his thirties with a short beard.
Well.
Thirty-year-old uncle?
Speaking of the seniority ranking in the countryside, Jin An missed his 80-year-old distant nephew, who was a classmate in junior high school and high school, and who always liked to supervise his class monitor sister-in-law.
After a brief self-introduction, Jin An learned that this thirty-year-old uncle was a teacher in Lingqian Township.
Although he obtained fame in his early years, because of his scholarly personality, he was not used to the black and white of the court and the numerous parties, so he later simply resigned and returned to the countryside to become a teacher.
At least children don't have that much money.
Recently, due to the series of strange incidents caused by the Zhang family, Lingqian Township has become panic-stricken. Children have stopped attending private schools, so He Yiming, who had nothing to do, offered to be the guide for Jin An and others.
Jin An was impressed by his uncle He Yiming's pure scholarly mind. These days, there are not many people who do not strive for fame, fortune, glory and wealth.
There are very few people with pure nature like my uncle He Yiming.
