Although he knew that there might be problems with Zhiyuan Building, Tie Mo was not in a hurry to take action here. How many secrets can be hidden in a place that is on the surface? Since he wants to take action, it is best to end it once and for all and hide the secrets in Yuci County.
All members of the Jin Chan Sect were killed. Tie Mo had no good impression of an organization like the Jin Chan Sect at all.
It can be said that the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty became the breeding ground for sects. In recent years, according to incomplete statistics, more than 20 sects, large and small, have begun to emerge from Jiangnan to Beizhili. Among them, the North Zhili area has the greatest influence.
They are the White Lotus Sect and the Golden Cicada Sect. The White Lotus Sect can be said to be an established sect in the Beizhili area since the late Yuan Dynasty. It is known as the "professional rebel". As long as there is an opportunity, the White Lotus Sect will emerge and act as a demon. White Lotus
The sect often causes trouble, but Tiemo doesn't hate the White Lotus sect too much. In any case, the White Lotus sect raises the flag of righteousness.
But this Golden Cicada Sect is really not a good thing. The Golden Cicada Sect confuses the people, especially the wealthy gentry. Every time the Golden Cicada Sect sweeps over, there must be a mess and complaints.
Sometimes I wonder how the Jin Chan Sect persuaded so many wealthy people to donate their wealth? They have done a lot of bad things, but they still have a large number of followers. Finding a table in the corner, Tie Mo sat down with peace of mind.
Eat your meal like an ordinary guest.
The sand sculpture sat opposite, cleverly blocking other people's sight, and whispered while eating: "This Zhiyuan Building looks normal on the surface. If you are not an experienced person, you will never see anything fishy!"
Tie Mo was very curious. He had been observing Zhiyuan Building since he came in, but he didn't feel anything was wrong, so he asked: "Don't be too pretentious, what's the secret here?"
"Haha, sir, don't you think the main entrance of Zhiyuan Building is a little different?" Sha Diao pointed at the door with his chopsticks, "Ordinary restaurants have a wide entrance and you can enter the hall with just one step. But Zhiyuan Building has an extra five feet.
There are aisles on the left and right, and you need to walk up and down stone steps. This is a waste of space. Although the up and down stone steps are both ten levels, the steepness of the slope is different. When you come in, you want to be right.
It's a little smoother. Of course, ordinary people can't notice the difference at all, but for me, it's not a problem."
"Hey, is there such a thing?" If Sha Diao hadn't mentioned it, Tie Mo really wouldn't have noticed the difference. At least when he first came in, he didn't feel any difference. When he thought about it carefully, his eyes lit up.
"You mean, the secret here is down there?"
"Yes, there is probably a layer of space underneath. The other party used the gap formed by the stone steps up and down the entrance corridor to give people an illusion. It feels like Zhiyuan Building is the same as the surrounding buildings, but in fact the foundation here is
It is much higher than other places. As for the upper three floors, each floor is lowered a little bit, so that when viewed from the outside, the height of the Zhiyuan Building is exactly the same as the others, and there is no problem from the outside."
Listening to Sha Diao's explanation, Tie Mo nodded slightly. Things are getting more and more interesting. Although Zhiyuan Building was only opened in the past six months, this archway has a history of decades. When this Zhiyuan Building was built,
What kind of thoughts do people have?
Tie Mo was not in a hurry to take action, and Sha Diao had the same idea. He sent someone out to say hello, and then drank wine slowly. After half an hour, the two left, and nothing happened in Zhiyuan Building.
Regarding the Zhiyuan Building incident, some results were quickly found out. As a long-established family in Yuci County, the Chang family also had some knowledge of old affairs in Yuci County. At this time, Tie Mo and Chang Minyue were sitting next to the couch, listening to Chang Yin's continued story.
Thinking about the past, Chang Yinxu looked better, but it was still a little difficult to get down. "To be precise, this Zhiyuan Building should be forty-four years old. I was still young at that time."
"The Zhiyuan Building is a good location. Our family wanted to buy it at first, but the other party refused to sell it. Later, that person built the Zhiyuan Building. It's a pity that he left after living here for more than five years.
He left the servants to run the silk and satin business. Until recently, it was renovated into a restaurant. I remember that the owner of the archway at that time should be named Dai, who was from the northwest. There was an entourage with him at that time, and his surname seemed to be Niu!"
Because it was so long ago, Chang Yinxu could not remember too many things, but these were enough for Tie Mo. The construction of the archway, such a big thing, should be recorded in Yuci County. Send someone to the county
The government office checked and found the record. According to the records, the builder of Zhiyuan Building was Dai Rongshan, whose ancestral home was Lanzhou.
The name Dai Rongshan is extremely unfamiliar to Tie Mo. However, some people have some impressions of this person. There is an elder of the Chang family who has a deep impression of Dai Rongshan. The elder of the clan is nearly a hundred years old, and it can be said that things have happened in Yuci County in recent decades.
It was all in his mind. Because of the incident at Zhiyuan Tower, Chang Minyue called the clan elders to inquire about some things.
The clan elder lay in his chair and tried hard to think about the past, "Your father was still young at that time. It's good to remember his surname Dai. Dai Rongshan is an extraordinary person. He started his business from scratch in only four years."
Over time, he accumulated a lot of wealth in southern Shanxi. Not only did he have a talent for business, but what was even more rare was that he also had knowledge of government agencies and equipment. When Zhiyuan Building was built, I thought he was going to settle in Yuci, but later he didn't
Knowing what happened, the whole family moved away, and I don't know where they went. The archway was also left to the servants to take care of. Later, the Zhiyuan Building was almost abandoned. Only recently did I hear that a descendant of Dai Rongshan came back and took over.
Moved to Zhiyuan Building and opened a restaurant?"
"Elder of the clan, have you ever heard of the Golden Chan Cult?" Tie Mo thought for a while and asked in a low voice.
The clan elder tapped his forehead and thought about it for a long time. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "I only heard about the Golden Cicada Sect recently... A few decades ago, we in Yuci didn't have the Golden Cicada Sect, but we did have trouble with the Jade Cicada.
Buddhism, oh...I remembered it. Jade Buddhism was very noisy at that time. Many people believed in Jade Buddhism and were deceived and lost all their money. Dai Rongshan seemed to have left at that time. Does Dai Rongshan Jade Buddhism have anything to do with it?
"
.......
After leaving the old house where Cong clan elders lived, Chang Minyue kept her head hanging down, looking uneasy. She raised her head several times as if she wanted to say something, hesitated and swallowed it back. The carriage moved forward slowly, Tie Mo leaned against
He closed his eyes and meditated by the bedside, but he still noticed something strange about Chang Minyue. Chang Minyue was not a hesitant woman, she was capable in dealing with things, and when the two of them were together, she never spoke up about anything.
"My father-in-law's health seems to be getting better, which is a good thing, but why are you not happy? If you have something on your mind, tell me!"
Chang Minyue bit her pink lips, and her delicate face became rosy, "This... this is what you asked me to say... My father told me before that if I have a boy in the future,
, can you choose one to change your surname to Chang... I know this request is a bit excessive, so I have been putting it off and dare not say it to you clearly. You don’t have to be angry. If you don’t want to, just pretend that I didn’t say it!”
"What about this?" Tie Mo smiled brightly, frowned, pinched his chin, and said seriously: "It's really difficult to handle, so you have to work harder. If you give birth to several baby girls in a row, then
But what to do?”
"You...what are you talking nonsense? I'm too lazy to listen to these crazy words of yours." No matter how much menstruation, Chang Min is still a woman who has not left the court, how can she bear Tie Mo's explicit words. For a moment, her face turned red with embarrassment, but
He was quickly stunned and said in shock, "You... agreed?"
Because she was too excited, Chang Minyue stood up unconsciously. However, the carriage was too short, and she immediately hit her head and fell into Tie Mo's arms. Tie Mo hugged this charming body, exhaled the heat, and said with a smile:
"Of course I don't want to adopt my son to another family. But your father's situation is quite special. If I don't agree, won't you have to complain in your heart for the rest of your life? After all, you will be your father-in-law's grandson. Even if your surname is changed, he will also be our son.
, it’s not too important. But, if there is any movement from my uncle’s side, this matter will stop here. Also, the Chang family’s side needs to be sorted out. If my son passes by, there are still people.
stumbling block."
Chang Minyue dug out a glance and hummed softly: "What are you talking about? I can still harm my own child. If I want him to inherit the family business, I must pave the way for him. As for the Chang family,
My father and I are in charge."
"That's good. When you get back, you can talk to your father-in-law."
...
In Zhiyuan Building, the graceful woman sat at the low table, thinking alone. Too many things had happened in recent days, which made her a little confused. Many things did not seem to develop as expected, and she did not know
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Yuci County finally reopened the city gate, and many unfamiliar faces came into the city. Following a slight sound of footsteps, a man pushed the door open and walked in. The candlelight flickered, illuminating his face, that clear face,
It was none other than Chang Minshan, who had escaped from the Chang family. Chang Minshan bowed and seemed to be very respectful, but his eyes were squinted, and it was unclear what he was thinking in his heart.
"Madam, someone wants to see you!"
"Mr. arranged it?"
Before Chang Minshan could answer, the door was pushed open again, and this time a young man walked in. This man was wearing a blue shirt, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He walked into the room, and several men dressed as guards consciously
Standing outside the door, the man didn't seem to take Chang Minshan seriously. Ever since he entered the house, his eyes had been staring at the woman in the house.
Sitting down minding his own business, the man faced the woman and smiled calmly: "You don't need to look at other people's faces to see who I want to see. Moreover, do you think he doesn't know that I can come here? To be honest.
Let me tell you, this young master knows about you, and even knows that you are in Zhiyuan Building, it is all what he said, do you believe it?"
The man had a strong sense of confidence, and his words were like a sharp sword, stabbing the woman into panic. The woman tried to calm herself down and clenched her hands involuntarily, "Who are you?"
"My son, Tang Tianhao, oh, by the way, you probably don't know me, but I have another identity, the Young Master of the Jin Chan Sect. Do you understand now?"
Tang Tianhao smiled slightly, and the woman frowned, as if she still didn't understand. Tang Tianhao couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "Beauty, it seems that you have been kept in the dark. The gentleman you have been thinking about has sent you away.
Give it to me, young master."
The woman trembled all over, still unable to believe this fact, "No, you are lying, sir, you would not do such a thing."
"No way? Haha, beauty, haven't you ever thought about why he saved you before? Have you never thought about why he arranged for you to come to Jinnan? Is it really because he dotes on your beauty? You are beautiful, Ben
It's normal for the young master to be moved by you, but he will never be moved by beauty. As for why he saved you, because your surname is Dai, he is so eager for you to help him get an infinite wealth.
So that you can have your own territory?"
"It's a pity that he made a miscalculation. The operation in Yuci County failed. Zhang Xianzhong lost his troops and his strength was greatly reduced. After suffering such a big loss, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely have to settle the score with him. He wants to protect himself, so he can only ask for my help.
He shouldered it. But why should I help him? He has not yet received the benefits he promised, and now he wants me to take the blame for him. He has no choice but to give up the most precious bargaining chip in his hand.
.”
Tang Tianhao spoke slowly, but raised his right hand little by little, reaching towards the woman who was close at hand. Perhaps because he was too shocked, or perhaps because he was overly sad, she did not react at all, and allowed Tang Tianhao to pick it off with his fingers.
Remove the veil from your face.
The purple veil gently slipped down, revealing a jade face that could be broken by a blow. What kind of face was that? It was so beautiful that it brought disaster to the country and the people.
Tang Tianhao has seen countless women, and he has enjoyed many beautiful women, but he has never seen such a woman. With just one glance, he was taken away from his heart, and he was even willing to die for her.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I, the young master, would really be reluctant to part with you! However, beauty, you can rest assured. If you follow me, I guarantee that no one will bother you again!"
She said nothing. Now, apart from herself, what else is real?
Her name is very beautiful, just like her face. Dai Qimeng, what a nice name, but in this life, it has been recurring in nightmares. When I ran away from Wang Jiayin, I thought I had found a beloved person who could be entrusted with my life, but it turned out that
He was given away. The Tang Tianhao in front of him had never heard of him and knew nothing about him.
Dai Qimeng no longer had dreams. She opened her beautiful eyes and faced the cruel reality. Her beauty, which was originally all the beautiful things in the world, eventually became a fatal poison. If she had not been born with a good appearance
, will fate not be so miserable?
"Why? Is Mr. Niu such a person?"
"Haha, is it weird? It's just that you don't know him well. Do you know what he wants? Niu Jinxing is very ambitious. He wants too many things, but he currently has too little capital.
.There was nothing he could do, he was very anxious, so he provoked many people he shouldn’t have provoked. In order to protect himself, he could only seek help from others.”
Tang Tianhao seemed to be talking about this trivial thing, but to Dai Qimeng, all this was like a thunderbolt.
