The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"In the past, Mu Chen and I discovered some secrets about Wu Zetian in the Xuanwu Secret Realm. Wu Zhao claimed to be the reincarnation of the Pure Light Goddess, and he used the Great Cloud Sutra and the Great Light Sutra as evidence. Both of these scriptures were taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang Underground. Look at this statue—"

Lin Manqing caressed the statue, "Does it look like the legendary Pure Light Goddess?"

Everyone was stunned.

"It turns out it's the totem of the Wu family. It's useless!" Master Rong complained, "I wasted three days of effort and thought it was some kind of treasure!"

Lin Manqing smiled and said: "This is not just a totem. Look at the facial features, body shape, and temperament. It looks like a real person. Maybe it was carved according to Wu Zetian's true appearance!"

As soon as people heard it, they all came together to watch.

Boss Wang said: "Is Wu Zetian so good-looking?"

Master Rong said: "Of course, otherwise we can charm two emperors of the Tang Dynasty?"

Hou Qigui asked doubtfully: "The carving is exquisite and the material is a rare thing, but just a portrait of the ancestor of the Wu family, how can it not be more valuable than Wu Jinshan's life?"

Lin Manqing said: "It should be related to the practice of the Wu family. Wu Zetian was also a saint of the Demon Sect and was in charge of the Holy Fire Order."

At this time, someone came to report: "Madam, Lord Marquis, Li Asi is back with Zhou Shaoyi!"

……

The Li residence was very quiet, and Li Axi and Zhou Shaoyi did not attract any attention when they came back.

Because Lin Manqing took care of all the work in Li House, Hou Qigui simply gave most people a holiday.

In fact, no one took Lin Manqing's words seriously at first, thinking that the lady was just making a gesture and sweeping the broom a few times to show off.

Unexpectedly, Lin Manqing was serious about it. He did all the work every time he entered the yard.

Although she was good at magic, she was so tired that it made people feel distressed to watch her. Hou Qigui, the housekeeper, really couldn't stand it anymore. He tried to persuade her several times, but the lady didn't listen. People cook, right? They gave the employees a holiday, leaving only two security guards, a Wu mother, Master Rong, and Boss Wang, all old people from Li Zhai. Even Yin Ying and A Dong took A Xi for a walk.

When there are fewer people, there is less work, so they can just talk and chat in the house.

When Li Axi and Zhou Shaoyi came back, they went out to greet them.

Taking Zhou Shaoyi back to the house, Lin Manqing began to treat him.

While Hou Qigui sent people to pick up Zhou Shaoyi's daughter Zhou Xiaoyun, he praised Li Asi: "Axi, you have done a great job!"

Li Axi just nodded, his expression as calm as ever, without any joy or excitement of completing the task and winning the victory.

"Where's Xiao Wu?" Hou Qigui asked.

Li Axi's brows became slightly heavy: "I can't bring the two of them out together."

Hou Qigui patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go eat something and change clothes first. This Wu family's security uniform is definitely not as comfortable as our Li family's."

Li Axi hummed and went out.

Zhou Xiaoyun came quickly. As soon as she saw Zhou Shaoyi, she rushed towards him and started crying.

"Xiaoyun, your dad's injury is very serious. Although I have given him the elixir, he still needs to rest for a while." Lin Manqing said.

Zhou Xiaoyun also knew that she had lost her temper, so she let go of her father and stood aside.

Zhou Shaoyi breathed a sigh of relief just for the sake of his daughter. At this time, seeing that Zhou Xiaoyun was alive and well, she felt relieved and said gratefully: "Madam, thank you for saving me and Xiaoyun. You and the Li family are my reborn parents. My father and daughter are doing great things." horse……"

Lin Manqing quickly interrupted him: "No need to say this, I saved you without asking for anything in return, and you are considered destined to our Li family. But I don't understand, you have such a big grudge with the Wu family, just because of this thing?"

She showed Zhou Shaoyi the statue of Pure Light Goddess.

When Zhou Shaoyi saw the statue, he sighed: "Oh, this is my fault. A greedy thought caused the current situation. My wife was killed, and Xiaoyun and myself were almost killed."

"Back then in Jinju, my family was a wealthy businessman with a small status. Once, an accident occurred in a coal mine below us, and several miners were buried underneath. This was not a big deal at first. This happened every year in the coal mines in the Jinju area. If something happens, if the compensation is in place and everything is taken care of, everything will be fine.”

"Of course, people must be saved if they can. A total of seven people were rescued at that time. They said that the collapse of the mine was not due to a problem with our safety measures, but because the underground was empty. They fell into an empty pit and escaped along the way. A larger tunnel was found along the tunnel, and there was a pile of earth and rocks at the end, so they suspected that there was a large tomb under the mountain, and our mine dug near the tunnel of the tomb. "

"I didn't take it seriously at the time, but the Wu family suddenly sent someone to negotiate with us about purchasing the collapsed mine, and offered a very high price. I became suspicious and thought of the relationship between the ancient tomb and the Wu family. Although Wu Zetian's tomb is in Xianyang, but it is a public part, and the Wu family has lived in Jinzhou for generations, is there also a tomb of Wu Zetian here? "

"I put forward a high price that they could not accept, but unexpectedly, the Wu family agreed in the end. This made me more certain that the underground is probably Wu Zetian's tomb. When I think about the tomb of the only empress in history, it is at my feet. , I couldn’t sleep. I used the handover as an excuse to delay it for two months. After all, it was a dangerous mine that had had accidents. "

"During those two months, I secretly took people down to the mine and blew up the tunnels and mounds of earth at the risk of being buried. There was indeed a tomb inside, but it was not the kind of imperial mausoleum I imagined, but it was still I was very shocked. I had never seen so many treasures in my life, not to mention gold and silver jewelry, and there were many things I had never seen before, and I didn’t even know what they were made of. The most shocking thing to me. , is this statue.”

"I just took one look at it and couldn't take my eyes away anymore. I felt like she was alive and she seemed to be talking to me. My eyes, my heart, and my soul were all absorbed. I was very sure at that time that she was Wu Zetian, a generation of queens, and only a generation of queens had such charm. "

"I was still rational at the time. I knew that if I emptied the tomb, the Wu family would not let me go. In Jinzhou, it was impossible for us to fight against the Wu family. So I only selectively took a few the most valuable thing possible, and then seal the mound back up."

"I thought that the Wu family would not find out that there were a few missing items in such a big tomb. But I ignored the human factor. When I went to the mine, the few people I brought with me were my confidants, but no matter how close my confidants are in the face of interests, It was also false. The Wu family finally found out and forced me to hand it back."

"My father made a decisive decision and asked me to leave Jinzhou with this statue. He said that our Zhou family could not escape this disaster. Even if we returned the things, the Wu family would not let us go. And in Jinzhou, no one can He can beat the Wu family."

"So you came to the capital?" Lin Manqing asked.

Zhou Shaoyi shook his head: "I didn't plan to come to the capital at first, because the capital is too close to Jinzhou, but I met a fortune-telling immortal."
