Chapter 353 353: Believe in Science [2-in-1]
Shen Tang resisted the urge to feel his scalp numb.
She asked tentatively: "I'm not very familiar with this history. Could it be that the king who founded the Wu Kingdom was the ancestor of Gongxi Qiu? The royal family crest of the Wu Kingdom is the clan crest of the Gongxi clan?"< br>
According to the general routine, this should be the case.
But Gu Chi obviously doesn’t like to follow the routine.
"The King Wu's royal family only passed down one generation, and the king's surname was Jisun. No one knew his origin, family, background, and background, as if he appeared out of thin air. According to historical records, he was a convict coolie who built the royal tomb. He was dissatisfied with the unfair supervision of the work. Killing innocent people, so a crowd gathered Righteousness, advancing with great success, it can be said that gods are killing gods and Buddhas are killing Buddhas, sweeping across the entire northwest..."
In just eight years, the entire northwest, the entire southwest, and more than half of the northeastern region have been included. It is only one step away from the unification of the continent. The small countries in the remaining area were trembling under the power of the big devil, and those with negative emotions were mentally prepared to lie down. Unexpectedly, the big military country collapsed overnight.
At this point, the world was torn apart and the world returned to war.
What did Shen Tang catch: "Ji Sun? This compound surname also has a background. The leader of the Wu Kingdom with the compound surname Ji Sun should have a high background. Speaking of which, Gongxi seems to be Ji Sun's branch. Are they really related?”
Earlier, not everyone had a surname.
The surname is determined by the origin of the ancestral examination.
For those who have a surname, their descendants will have their own divisions.
Common people have no surname, only one given name.
The background of this Ji Sun family should not be simple.
Gu Chi said: "Chi also has this suspicion."
I had never thought that there would be any connection between the two, but the Gongxi clan actually had clues about Wu Guo's evil, and it also caused covetousness and annihilation. There is no way that the two are unrelated. The Gongxi clan lived in seclusion for more than two hundred years, but the Wu Kingdom lived a hundred years ago.
Gu Chi couldn't help but guess that this Jisun might be a member of the Gongxi clan who escaped from the Gongxi clan. For some reason, he couldn't show off outside, so he changed his surname to Jisun. To prove this guess, there are also two snakes, one female and one male, on the royal family crest of the King of Wu.
The clan pattern on Gongxi Qiu's body is a single female snake. Considering that the Gongxi clan follows the matrilineal order, it is not surprising.
A coincidence may be a coincidence.
What about two or even three times?
Then it's not just a coincidence.
In other words——
The roots of the genocide of the Gongxi clan have long been laid.
Even if it is not the Geng Kingdom or the Xin Kingdom, if the relationship between the Gongxi clan and the Wu Kingdom is exposed, it will still lead to death.
Shen Tang sighed: "Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade."
It can also be seen from the enthusiastic, cheerful and simple Gong Xi Qiu that the Gong Xi clan does not have much ambition, otherwise the whole family would not be able to live in seclusion for more than two hundred years... Alas, people's hearts are terrible.
Gu·forced to listen to his heart·Chi: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know whether his lord was joking. The ambitions of the Gongxi clan were not very big, he did not deny this, but he was curious - how did the Lord see that Gongxi Qiu was warm, cheerful and simple? From that weird music theory aesthetic?
The carriage moved slowly and rocked slowly.
"Hey, let's forget about that for now." Shen Tang still has a lot of troubles to deal with. The most troublesome thing is the import of medicinal materials. Thinking back to the negotiation scene just now, her balls hurt, "Let's just... With only three acres of land and a small family fortune, Zhang Yongqing is capable of being so ruthless, cutting leeks with just one opening of his mouth..."
Zhang He's price is not unaffordable.
It’s just that it hurts a little
After living in poverty for more than half a year, Shen Tang has become accustomed to breaking a penny into four-petal flowers_(:з)∠)_Zhang He’s quote , in her This is equivalent to multiplying by four: "Wangchao, when do you think we can achieve financial freedom?"
Gu Chi: "Master, why not just daydream again?"
He smiled Teasing Shen Tang.
Shen Tang wanted to grab something and slap him.
Gan, these literati are getting worse and worse!
Gu Chi: "It's not impossible."
Shen Tang immediately raised his ears: "Say it quickly!"
Gu Chi said: "Wu Zhaode didn't do it before. The wine is sold in Yiru? The business is going well. We can exchange wine with Zhang Yongqing for medicinal materials, not necessarily money."
To put it simply, it is an exchange of things.
He Yin has no silver, but he has plenty of water mixed with wine!
It just depends on whether Zhang He buys it or not! Since both of them are profiteers, let’s see who is more evil! When Shen Tang heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Okay, okay, I can accept it."
That night Zhang He received Shen Tang's reply.
He frowned when he saw the transaction method in the letter.
He meditated for a long time in front of the candlelight.
It was so long that the staff didn’t even notice when they came over.
The staff asked: "Why is my lord worried?"
Zhang He pushed the letter to the staff.
"He Yin's envoy wanted to exchange spiritual wine for medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials needed were not a small amount. He went out with a dark face during the day and was dissatisfied with the price, so how could he agree at night? There must be fraud here. I don't know. Should I refuse, and how should I refuse? ”
The staff carefully read the flamboyant letter.
"Spiritual wine? Is it the spiritual wine that everyone is competing for now?"
Zhang He nodded: "I have also drunk the so-called spiritual wine. It does have some miraculous effects, but Yiru Food He is not well-off either, and extravagant things like wine...cannot encourage such unhealthy tendencies."
He once served as an imperial doctor at the Xinguo Court Medical Office.
I know too well how the rich and powerful eat, drink and have fun.
The common people were so hungry that they gnawed tree bark and ate mud, which did not affect those people who wasted food and made wine just for their appetite.
Zhang He strictly managed the liquor sales under his rule.
Folk brewing tools will be confiscated.
Liquor can only be brewed by the official or officially approved institutions. People who brew wine privately will be punished. As for the flow of alcohol outside Yiru into the market, it must also be strictly controlled.
However, Zhang He's reputation among the common people has reached its peak, which does not mean that the families in Yiru who have inherited it for many years also buy it. In fact, they had nothing to deal with Zhang Heduo. People have their own channels to do small things secretly, but as long as they don't go too far, Zhang He can only turn a blind eye if he knows about it.
The staff member said: "There are indeed doubts..."
He added: "But we cannot refuse."
Zhang He was puzzled: "Why?"
"The Lord wants to What's the use of this spirit wine?"
"It's useless." Zhang He shook his head.
"My lord doesn't need it, but some people can use it."
Zhang He was reminded by him and vaguely caught something.
"You mean..."
The staff member smiled meaningfully: "Each family in Yiru operates privately, has your lord heard about it? You might as well take this opportunity to repair the relationship. You make a match, and He Yin's side produces spirit wine, and each of your families produces medicinal materials, each of them gets what they need."
Zhang He was surprised.
He knew that his staff was not dealing with the Yiru family. To what extent could they not deal with him?
If it was really a good thing, it wouldn’t be those families’ turn when it was the dog’s turn! If a parent of a family is kidnapped and the kidnappers demand a ransom, the staff can donate a bundle of firewood as a friendly gesture.
So, is this actually still a trap?
Using He Yin’s incident, how many branches can you repair for?
Zhang He thought for a long time before making a final decision.
"Okay, let's do this for now."
Although Heyin is a remote village, he has heard about Shen Tang's methods after taking over Heyin, and he admires the young county guard quite a lot. It's not a climate yet, and it's hard to say what the future will be.
It is better to be friends than to be enemies.
Deciding on this matter, Zhang He remembered another trouble and his eyes flashed coldly: "Go back and investigate Nan Guren. Among his sworn brothers there is a man named Shaochong."< br>
The staff had vaguely heard of Shaochong’s name.
"What's so special about this person?"
"A serious problem in the future."
Zhang He feels guilty about Shao Chong.
If he hadn't been ordered to study Gu insects, there might not have been those experiments on the common people, and the Xin Kingdom's poison would have spread everywhere.
But guilt is guilt, and the threat still needs to be eliminated.
If you don't bully someone while they're still weak, why don't you wait until they mature and then go head-on to die?
"Quietly, deal with him."
The staff responded quietly.
Zhang He added: "If you miss, you will withdraw." He doesn't want to expose himself too much yet.
His identity as a doctor and his good reputation are all his protective features to confuse his enemies. Zhang He is a very ambitious person and has no shortage of dormant patience. He is also waiting for an opportunity.
The staff's thoughts suddenly changed: "What should we do about Gong Xiqiu?"
"It can't be done by a fifteen-year-old junior high school student." Zhang He looked at the flames of the lighted oil lamp and smiled. He kept asking, "And why should we kill him? Isn't it just a good idea to keep such a vengeful man full of hatred in his heart to contain the people of Geng Kingdom?"
Gongxi's hatred will be reversed sooner or later.
When Zhang He needs the opportunity, the turbider the water, the better.
Peaceful years are not his pursuit.
Before that, he needs to hibernate deeper.
It was not until midnight that Gong Xiqiu returned to his hotel under the moonlight. As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw a familiar face.
"Mama is waiting for me."
He used a confident tone.
Shen Tang said: "Well, practice the banquet."
Gong Xiqiu strode forward: "Who should practice it for?"
Shen Tang pointed to himself: "Me."
She received a reply from Zhang He not long ago.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved.
Naturally, I can't stay too long. I will finish the business contract during the day tomorrow and set off back in the evening.
She didn’t know when Gong Xiqiu would leave.
After much thought, I asked the store to prepare a table of wine and food.
Gong Xiqiu drank while she ate vegetables.
Farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Maybe goodbye is on the battlefield.
Curiosity killed the cat. Shen Tang couldn't help but feel the torment of curiosity in his heart, and made a straight shot: "How is your investigation of the whereabouts of the holy objects going?"
Gong Xiqiu drank the wine in one gulp.
Shaked his head: "There is still no whereabouts of those people who fell in love."
Nowadays, the war is in chaos. It is really hard to find a few small people who are in the profession of being beaten to death if caught. .
I don’t know if they lost the sacred object or changed hands.
"Don't be discouraged, the sacred object will always be found. It's just that-it's a bit presumptuous to ask." Shen Tang hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "What is so special about that sacred object? Is it worth your risk?" Taking risks, you have to go out to find a needle in a haystack?”
There is only one Gongxi Qiu left in the Gongxi clan. The most important thing now is to revitalize the family population, right?
What if there is no one in the family?
The boss is not young anymore, so he should work hard to make a baby while he is in good health.
"Ahem, if it's offensive, just pretend I didn't ask."
Gong Xiqiu didn't feel offended.
I don’t think Shen Tang is coveting the secret of the clan.
Because——
“Nothing special.”
Shen Tang groaned, and there were three question marks on his head.
Gongxi Qiu took a sip of wine: "I also found out after reading the clan records that the Gongxi clan had committed a serious crime, and the whole clan met a benefactor on the way to exile. This benefactor saved the ancestors and returned the favor. Take the ancestors to find the later clan place."
"What next?" Shen Tang listened with interest.
Gong Xiqiu recalled a record in his family: "Then one day, the benefactor calculated that a thief star had landed in a certain place, and went out for a long trip. When he came back, the benefactor brought back a sacred object, that is, that mouthful The coffin was placed in the coffin, and the ancestors were entrusted to take care of it..."
He paused.
"After that, the benefactor sat on the ground and became a god. Before his death, he told the ancestors to burn his body. Cremation has become a funeral custom passed down from generation to generation in our clan. When the ancestors were sorting out the benefactor's belongings, they found an autographed letter from the benefactor. ”
“What was written in the letter? ?”
“The benefactor said that he would come back to take away the sacred objects in trust, but now I am the only one left in the clan, and the sacred objects have been lost...”
Shen Tang: “...do you believe it? Will the benefactor come back? "
It is estimated that he has been dead for two hundred years.
Are the Gongxi clan too honest? ? ?
Gong Xiqiu said: "Yes!"
Shen Tang said in a faint tone: "You have to believe in science."
"Who is science?" Gong Xiqiu did not say Care more and continue to share gossip, "according to clan It is recorded in the book that the benefactor was a god who flew down from the sky! You must know that there was neither a thief star nor a spirit spirit at that time. How could he be an ordinary person with such inhuman power?"
"The benefactor not only saved me? Ancestors”
"He also taught the ancestors the ability to settle down and make a living."
"The art of Gu was taught by my benefactor."
But——
Gong Xiqiu said depressedly: "If it hadn't been for that famous man back then. The traitor stole the Gu book and established a useless Wu Kingdom. The Gongxi clan will not end up like this..."
Shen Tang was shocked: "Is the leader of the Wu Kingdom really a member of your clan?"
Gong Xiqiu emphasized: "No, he was exterminated."
That Jisun family was actually another son of the patriarch of that generation. He had been pampered since he was a child. He was dissatisfied with the inheritance of his weak and incompetent brother. Even though he was the leader of the clan, he didn't resent being trapped in the clan all his life. He wanted to go outside and see the wider world, so he became malicious, stole Gu books, and burned the clan's secrets.
The inheritance of the Gongxi clan is incomplete.
Before this, every tribesman would be seeded with a poison at birth. The poison and the person complemented each other. Whether it was cultivation or other things, they could get twice the result with half the effort. If they pray devoutly to the gods they worship in the morning and evening, they can still gain the favor of the gods...
So, although the Gongxi clan lives in seclusion.
But it was really possible to fight back then.
The result was such a traitor.
In order to obtain the most powerful force in the shortest time, it extends its claws to ordinary people and creates a tragedy that will last forever.
The Gongxi clan has been in ruins since then.
Be careful and clamp your tail.
Unexpectedly, after only a few decades of peace, he would run into trouble again.
Gong Xiqiu's current obsession is not only to avenge his tribe, but also to retrieve the sacred objects and wait for the reincarnation of his benefactor.
Shen Tang: "..."
She really wants to persuade her friends to believe in science.
There is no reincarnation in this world...
Hey, wait!
Shen Tang noticed a problem.
“Your clan’s sacred objects have existed for more than two hundred years?”
“Yes.”
“Did you open the coffin and put something in during this period?”< br>
For example, secondary use, stuffing a fresh corpse?
Gong Xiqiu was vaguely drunk.
"How is this possible? It has been buried all this time..."
Shen Tang was speechless and stunned.
“After being buried for more than two hundred years, the body can still be fresh?”
Gong Xiqiu was not surprised and said: "Since he is a sacred object, a benefactor and a god, he always has a way to preserve the body from decay. Is this so strange? Not to mention two hundred years, two thousand years is normal."
