, Ah Fu seduced him. "

Uncle Liu suddenly felt that telling the truth was quite good.

"You'll talk nonsense." Mrs. Tong scolded with a smile, "Go in and kneel down, be careful when your father sees you messing around here, and he won't let you out of the ancestral hall in the future."

Tong Xin frantically followed Madam Tong in, and did not forget to turn around and say to Steward Liu: "The bone is too hard, and there is little meat. I gnawed it until my teeth ached. Next time, cook it softer."

"..." Liu Bojiong, that's for dogs.

Madam Tong opened the small cloth bag and said, "Is there something wrong with that girl?"

Tong Xin stared at the little cloth bag without blinking, "Did you buy her into the house?"

"En." Mrs. Tong took out a steamed steamed bun and gave it to her son, mysteriously, "Could it be someone sent by Ouchi again?"

Tong Xin took a bite of the white steamed bun and shook his head, "I don't know. But mother, you said at the beginning that our family should hug King Yan's thigh tightly so that we can flourish. Big brother hugged him so tightly. Now that King Yan can become emperor, big brother The credit is indispensable, how could the emperor doubt our family?"

Mrs. Tong sighed, "Sigh, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. It may have something to do with the errand your elder brother took on this time."

"What's wrong?"

"Your father and I also vaguely know the general idea. Your eldest brother said that before King Yan ascended the throne, Liu Jing, the second son of Liu Bowen, was called. If the words don't go well, the word 'usurpation' will be included in the history books. In the end, he was imprisoned and hanged himself." Mrs. Tong looked around, and her voice lowered a little, "Liu Jing's name is not right, it refers to The emperor is not a direct descendant."

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, once made it clear that the succession established the elders but not the young, and established a descendant but not a concubine.If Zhu Di is really not a direct descendant, the throne may not be secure.

Moreover, the "Battle of Jingnan" initiated by Zhu Di at the beginning was played under the banner of King Qin and Qingjun, so there are many people who support the son or brother of Emperor Hui whose whereabouts are unknown.

Tong Xin gnawed on the steamed buns and said, "So the emperor asked elder brother to investigate the Liu family? But isn't the Liu family all dead?"

"There is a folk proverb: Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, Liu Bowen dominates the country, military Zhuge Liang in the previous period, and Liu Bowen military in the future. Such a person who can be compared with Zhuge Liang should have seen the subsequent royal changes. Otherwise, how could Taizu Secretly send him to patrol the world, looking for the place where the dragon veins that can make the Ming Dynasty last forever."

"Have you found it?"

"I found it, and drew it together with the fate of each member of the royal family in a volume. Before he died, Liu Bowen asked his eldest son Liu Lian to present it to Taizu after the traitor Hu Weiyong fell. But in the tenth year of Hongwu, Liu Lian and Hu Weiyong's party members were forced to fall into a well and died when they clashed, and the dragon vein volume also disappeared."

"You mean, the emperor suspects that there is a record of his parentage in that volume?"

"It should be, otherwise why would you suddenly ask your elder brother to look for it?"

Tong Xin slowly put down the half-eaten steamed bun, "Mom, if this is the case, no matter if the elder brother can find the volume or not, our family will be in trouble." Zhu Di can't leave anyone who knows his secret.

How could Mrs. Tong not know, so she was worried.

"But before the death, can you give me some meat to eat?"

"Find it yourself."

Tong Xin's eyes lit up, "Mother, that's what you said."

The next day, Master Tong ordered someone to open the gate of the ancestral hall, and Uncle Li, who had been guarding the ancestral hall for the Tong family, hugged a chicken and wept, "Master, the second young master is a monster, and he turns into a weasel in the middle of the night, looking for it everywhere with green eyes." Chicken to eat."

Madam Tong: "..."

The two beards on Master Tong's upper lip trembled, giving Uncle Li some silver, which meant compensation.

"No, no, I can't take it." Uncle Li waved his hand.

Mrs. Tong came over from the side and handed the silver to Uncle Li, "Take it, and scare the chicken."

Li Bo: "..."

2. There are dudes in the family ([-])

In front of the Tong family ancestral hall is the hall, where clan relatives discuss the affairs of the clan. Behind the front hall is the courtyard. There is a stage in the courtyard.

Xiangtang is the place where the memorial tablets of the ancestors are enshrined, and Tong Xin was punished in it.

As soon as she entered the ancestral hall, Mrs. Tong began to stall for time in various ways, her voice raised.

Master Tong knew that his wife wanted to report to his son inside, but he didn't stop him.

Mrs. Tong turned her head, "Bao Shen, Chi Du, you go and take Ah Fu away from the entrance of Xiangtang, Ma'am, I am afraid of dogs."

Master Tong's brows twitched suddenly.Afraid of dogs?Everyone in Beijing doesn't know that his wife is like a dog, and their Ah Fu will pretend to be dead as soon as he smells her.

Bao Shen was clever, and he understood Madam Tong's meaning as soon as he heard it, and ran to Xiangtang and shouted: "Ah Fu, the master and madam are here to see the young master, you have to be a good dog and don't get in the way." go away.

Mrs. Tong gave them a thumbs up in secret, while Mr. Tong pretended not to see their small movements, strode towards the Xiangtang and opened the door. Mrs. Tong, who was walking behind, saw her husband pause at his feet first, and then said sharply: "What are you doing?"

Mrs. Tong heard her son say calmly: "Last night, my ancestor told me in a dream that since I was three years old, there are always a few days every month when I get tired of watching me kneel down, so I changed my posture."

Master Tong didn't want to be pissed off, so he inhaled and inhaled again, but his voice was still a little trembling, "So you hang yourself instead?"

Madam Tong: "..."

"Father, I'm following the example of ancient people hanging their heads on beams." Tong Xin remained calm.

"The back of the head hung by the ancients?" Master Tong's voice changed.

Mrs. Tong hurriedly probed to look, and saw a circle of hemp rope hanging down from the beam of the house. Tong Xin was lying on the ground on his back and put his head in the circle. The master had an expression of being ready to strangle Tong Xin with a hemp rope at any time.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted, and Mrs. Tong pushed Master Tong away and rushed to Xiangtang, crying, "My ancestors are above all, this unfilial descendant was born to my You family. As the saying goes, it is the fault of the son not teaching the mother. In my case, I’m here to apologize.” As he spoke, he wrapped the noose around his neck a few times.

The noose is so long, even if Mrs. Tong's neck is wrapped a few times and there is still plenty of room to hang, Mr. Tong is concerned, but when he sees it, he panics, "Ma'am, what are you doing?" The noose shouted, "Bao Shen Chi Du quickly get the scissors."

Master Tong suddenly remembered that Bao Shen had gone for a walk with his dog, and ran out in a panic to find the scissors.

Seeing that Master Tong was gone, Mrs. Tong reached out and grabbed her son's ear, "Stinky boy, you're itchy, you dare to mess around in the ancestral hall."

"I'm wronged," Tong Xin yelled, and then lowered his voice, "Brother is back, he is the one who climbed down by hanging on this rope."

Madam Tong had a bad feeling when she heard this, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

Tong Xin rubbed his ears that were about to be torn into ears for a ride, "Brother is injured."

"What?" Mrs. Tong's heart tightened, her premonition came true.

"Mother, don't be nervous. Fortunately, it's just a skin trauma and it's not a problem." Tong Xin comforted Mrs. Tong, "But the elder brother said, who leaked the fact that he was looking for the dragon vein volume, and spread rumors on the rivers and lakes, saying The peerless martial arts recorded in the Dragon Vein Volume has attracted many martial arts people to snatch it. My eldest brother was also injured when he clashed with people from the Jianghu while searching for clues."

"What should we do?" Mrs. Tong was a little confused, "Yi'er, what else did he say?"

"Brother also said, let's be careful with green vegetables and tofu, saying that they are Jinyiwei."

"Sure enough." Mrs. Tong wanted to say something more, but she stopped after hearing Master Tong's hurried footsteps.

Mrs. Tong and Tong Xin were just about to start the play, when they saw Mr. Tong stepping into the hall with scissors and then paused, staring fixedly at a certain place in the hall.

Mrs. Tong followed her husband's gaze, and saw a pig's head on the altar was gnawed like the surface of the moon, and she couldn't help blaming her son in a low voice, "I can't even wipe my mouth if I steal it, how can I gnaw it like that. "

"Then how should I eat it?" Tong Xin asked humbly.

"Just gnaw on the back of the head, so that the front is basically invisible. Now you gnaw the whole thing into potholes and ravines, no one can see it."

"..."

Master Tong yelled: "Come here, take..."

Mrs. Tong secretly said, no, I have to ask the family law, so she hurriedly stopped, "Master, wait."

"Ma'am, it's your blind indulgence and protection," Master Tong said solemnly, "Now he dares to steal the sacrifices offered to his ancestors. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, it will be too late to cause even bigger disasters in the future."

Mrs. Tong brushed the ends of her hair from her forehead, with a heroic expression on her face, "Master, I won't stop you today, he should teach you a lesson." From nowhere, she found a thick wooden stick, " I just want to give you this."

Not to mention that Tong Xin saw the stick trembling, even Master Tong couldn't bear it, "... Ma'am, I was going to just whip him with a willow stick."

Madam Tong: "..."

"Mother, I'm actually not your own. You picked me up in some ruined temple."

"..."

So in Beijing, many people saw Master Tong chasing and beating his son again.

A swordsman passing by on the street saw Tong Xin running past and asked, "Which family is this young master, he is so handsome!"

A Qingao scholar beside him said sourly: "Hmph, he's just an ignorant dude who has the outside of gold and jade and the inside of rot."

Someone else answered the swordsman, "That's the second young master of the Tong family."

"Tongjia?" The swordsman thought for a while, but seemed to have no impression.

At this time, a fortune teller at a street stall said: "This Tong's family can be regarded as a rising star in Beijing. He
