Chapter 218: Urgent Secret Report

In the most lively Xianglin Teahouse in Yulin Town, Xia Linang was spitting:

"Fu Xing? What kind of lucky Xing? They are blessed themselves, but they harm the people around them. Look, aren't the people on Xitang Street living examples? Now even the place they live is almost gone, it's pitiful!"

"I'm sorry those fools are still wholeheartedly treating them. Oh, it's a pity that they are so rich and don't say they borrow some money to buy you a house."

"They live in a big mansion given by the emperor, and enjoy wealth and honor in the capital. How can you care if you have a place to live? Pretending to say 'Come back and thank you', and even moved those fools half-dead. It's so stupid."

...

Xia Linang became more and more beautiful as he spoke, feeling like a master who gave everyone a guide. More importantly, after holding on for a few days, he finally found a way to vent his energy.

Two top scholars in civil and military affairs! They are the guards in front of the imperial court! The emperor is close to the emperor! The daughter of the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty!... Xia Linang held his breath when he heard these words. OK? What's the use of no matter how good? He can't benefit from it.

Xia Linang wished that something happened to Shu Jie and the other two suddenly, everything would be gone, such as being killed by a serious crime, of course, it would not implicate the entire family.

As a result, when I came to the teahouse this morning, I heard people talking about Shujie and the three siblings again. He could no longer help but speak loudly.

Xia Linyu, who came in, did not make a sound, but felt relieved in his heart. The tea that he drank into his mouth seemed to have become sweet.

At this moment, two or three people rushed in excitedly, and while walking, they were talking about something exciting.

One of them heard Xia Linang's words and sniffed: "What do you know? Pretend to behave? If you have the ability, you can pretend! The three brothers and sisters of Xia Zhuangyuan took out all the nine yards they had bought before, either sold them at the original price or rented them to the neighbors on Xitang Street at a low price. Now, except for Aliao's family who had originally planned to move and had already bought a house, and the Niu Cheunger's family who was preparing to return home, all the other neighbors were arranged and they were celebrating. If you want to say that these neighbors are really blessed, they are better to the three brothers and sisters of Xia's house, but now everyone is benefiting from them. You don't know. The yards of Xia's house were all arranged by Wang Dong's family from Daxin Yashang. They are all arranged by the good location, good houses and cheap yards. We will buy them ourselves, so how can we buy such a good and affordable one?"

The person who spoke was a fellow villager of Sun Da. When he first came to Yulin, he received the help of Sun Da, and lived with Sun Da for a while. This time, Xitang Street was expropriated. Sun Da's family couldn't afford a house and wanted to go back to their hometown in Northeast China, but they were reluctant to leave Sun Da's wife's good job at Mixue Tofu Shop. Moreover, Sun Da's couple were both born and raised in Yulin, and they were reluctant to leave. Finally, they thought of gritting their teeth and borrowing money to buy a few houses in the suburbs. The fellow villager also lent all his savings to Sun Da.

Unexpectedly, Sun Dalai paid back the money last night. He said he bought a yard of the three brothers and sisters in Xiazhai, which was very close to the Mixue tofu shop where Sun Da’s wife worked, and it was convenient for Sun Da to collect fish. The new yard is larger than the current yard of their family, and there is no need to do anything else for the three sons to get married in the future. The price of the new yard is within their range. The compensation from the Fuwang Mansion and their own savings are enough. Sun Da kept wiping his tears and said that they did not do anything for the three brothers and sisters in Xiazhai, but they were so lucky.

The words of Sun Datong Township made the entire teahouse suddenly boil:

"The three brothers and sisters of Xia Zhuangyuan are so kind and righteous!"

"Not? How could someone else bear it? I will definitely make a fortune!"

"Or it is the top scholar of both civil and military affairs! Or is it the lucky person pointed out by Master Jingxuan himself! How can ordinary people compare with it?"

"This is really the 'repaying of a drop of water, and a spring of repaying'!"

"Good people will be rewarded!"

...

The Xia Linyu brothers were so angry that they were crazy. Xia Linang slapped the table and said, "Prodigal son! Prodigal son! These three prodigal bastards!" How much money do you have to make in Yulin today in nine yards?

Someone quickly burst out with a "puchi" and said: "Prodigal son? Who are you Xia Zhuangyuan? Is your turn to take care of others' prodigal affairs or not?"

"That's right, I was just saying that people don't lend money to buy a house for neighbors, why is it like cutting your meat again?"

"Oh, didn't you say that someone stole your secret recipe back then? Those nine yards wouldn't have stole your Xia Mansion from again? By the way, your Xia Mansion is the Marquis' Mansion, what are the nine yards?"

"Ha ha ha ha"……

Xia Linyu's two brothers were blushing on their faces. Xia Linyu glared at Xia Linang fiercely. Even though he knew that now... he still wanted to humiliate himself, he also caused these boring people to mention the old story.

At this time, many members of the Xia family also rushed to the clan leader's house to complain, asking the clan to force Xia Shujie to take back the yard and sell it to the clan. Shujie's three brothers and sisters are Xia's family. If there are benefits, they must first give it to the clan. How can they take it to the outsiders? As for who can buy it, you can draw lots, right? They all shine. How much money will they make when they change hands?

Shujie is now a "semi-secret minister". There are so many palace guards in Xia's house, and officials come to visit every day. They dare not go to Xia's house to make trouble, so they have to go to the patriarch to talk about it.

It just so happened that the fifth grandfather and two sons were in the patriarch's house. Grandfather's youngest son Jiulang said "You are thinking well. If you want to make money, Shujie will not make money. You want to sell it to you to make money? What are you doing for those three siblings? When the fifth brother and fifth sister passed away, those who helped the funeral were all those neighbors. Brother Jie had something to do, so those neighbors who came forward to help them were also those neighbors. Now Brother Jie has the ability, what is wrong with repaying them? This is the kindness of the three children. Who dares to say anything? It is the emperor's ears, hum, I'm afraid..."

Silang, the eldest son of the fifth grandfather's family, also followed his younger brother's words: "No? The court has been advocating benevolence and righteousness in recent years. Thank you. Brother Jie is a close minister around the emperor. Naturally, he should actively respond to the court's advocacy to set an example. It is impossible to criticize both public and private. Don't forget that if it weren't for the fifth brother and sister Zhen and Shujie, the emperor would have disliked our Xia family. If you have the courage, please continue to make trouble. The emperor would let Shujie's family break away from the clan. Then what would happen to the Xia family?"

Silang and Jiulang from the fifth grandfather's family both went to send Xia Linxuan's coffin up the mountain. Silang's wife and Jiulang's wife also went to the mourning hall to worship Zhen Zirou, and also sent funeral gifts to the courtyard of Xitang Street according to customs. They were the only Xia family members who appeared at that time, and the other family was a mother and son. Xia Linxuan and his wife had always sponsored the boy to study during their lifetime.

As soon as Silang said, from the clan leader to the troublemakers, they were stunned. Their first reaction was "alarming". After thinking about it carefully, the more they thought about it, the more they felt possible. They were really scared. The Xia family was involved in the crime of corruption, which was the most taboo thing for the royal family... Thinking about the anniversary celebration of Zhen's family, the emperor still refused to give face to the Xia family. The spiritual throne of Zhen and Xia Linxuan was invited to the imperial gift of Xia house, and the ritual ceremony was held in Xia house.

The clan leader sighed: "Don't worry, let alone the past dynasties. In this dynasty, women and children know about the Ying clan, not to mention that the three children had intended to leave the clan. If you can still benefit from it now, just laugh secretly, that is, the brother and sister of Jie value love and friendship."

When he was the first emperor, the Ying clan produced a great loyal and righteous general, and was deeply loved by the Sacred Heart. However, some of the Ying clans did evil in the name of the Ying clan, and even betrayed the news to traitors who colluded with foreign enemies for huge profits. However, the Ying clans fought on the frontier and did not know what the clansmen did.

When the incident broke out, the people of the Ying clan still hoped that the emperor would let General Ying let them go. Unexpectedly, the emperor let General Ying out of his clan with a stroke of his pen and become another Ying family. Then he killed the entire Ying family.

While Jiulang was talking, the Xia Linyu brothers happened to walk to the door, and they also came to make trouble and sue Shujie. As a result, they immediately became weak when they heard Silang and the patriarch's words.

The direct person suspected of treason was their father Xia Zhihan. Moreover, because of the incident of "trying to fake acquaintance", their group is notorious in the capital. This is also the reason why Xia Ruoxue told them not to mess with Shujie and the other two, and even refused to let them "welcome".

Brother Xia Linyu is very jealous of his life. He has received aristocratic education since he was a child. He is not unaware of the imperial court, but his mind is not very clear. They have never woken up from the dream of "entering the Xia house and becoming the master of the three brothers and sisters of Shujie". Now that people have clearly spread their words, they will not continue to be stupid and ignorant, at least they have woken up a little at this moment.

Without entering the meeting hall of the patriarch's family, Xia Linyu and his two brothers quietly retreated.

After all, the matter between the nine yards did not cause any disputes in the Xia family. After hearing about some things, Shujie and his sisters only smiled. They only did things based on their own conscience, and there was no need to look at the faces of their tribe members.

Because he had to rush back to the capital, the three Shujie brothers and sisters opened the temple to worship their ancestors and did not take too long. On the fifth day of returning to Yulin Town, there were ritual officials sent by the emperor, as well as the Empress Dowager Liu and the Grandma Shunzi who came to worship Zhen Zirou. The ancestor worship ceremony naturally had to be grand.

Not only were the officials around us coming to watch the ceremony, but the Xia family's ancestral hall also opened their eyes and watched the fun.

Just like the last time I entered the genealogy ceremony, Shu Yao was still led by the patriarch's wife to follow the ceremony at the entrance of the ancestral hall and completed various procedures.

Just as all the rituals were about to be completed, Shu Yao, who had an extremely sensitive hearing, suddenly heard a horse coming quickly in the direction where they were. Then someone rushed into the yard and shouted loudly: "Urgent report, the three brothers and sisters of Xia Zhuangyuan received the order." (To be continued.
