Wu Xie wanted to find his third uncle, Wu Sansheng, but this old boy kept coming and going without a trace, and only his third uncle dared to leave the city of Hangzhou in the entire Wu family.

Wu Xie was taught by her elders when she was very young that members of their Wu family must never leave Hangzhou City.When Wu Xie was drunk in Wu Sansheng, he once heard him talk about it, as if Wu Xie's grandfather, Wu Laogou, had a feud with the then Holy Father, so the Wu family was put under house arrest in Hangzhou City.At that time, Wu Xie was still young, and he couldn't understand Wu Sansheng's drunken talk.Later, when he grew up, Wu Xie didn't dare to violate the family rules.

It's not that he didn't want to go outside to have a look, but that when Wu Sansheng sneaked out of the city and was discovered by his grandfather, he was severely beaten and grounded for a long time.That was the only time Wu Xie was afraid of his grandfather. The expression of Wu Laogou at that time was just like Shura in the ghost stories Wu Xie heard when he was a child.Since then, Wu Sansheng has been honest for a long time, until Wu Laogou is no longer alive, he dared to step out of Hangzhou City again.

Wu Xie wanted to see Wu Sansheng, so he had to go to Pan Zi first.Pan Zi was a buddy who had been with Wu Sansheng for many years. Wu Xie knew that his third uncle had his own business for so many years, but he didn't know what kind of business Wu Sansheng was in.My father and second uncle are well-known businessmen in Hangzhou City. They are involved in restaurants, cloth villages, inns and rice shops. Although they are limited to Hangzhou City, they are doing everything well.

Neither the second uncle nor the third uncle had any children, and Wu Xie was the only son, so logically speaking, Wu Xie would inherit the Wu family property.It's just a pity that Wu Xie is not interested in those businesses at all, he is only willing to stay in his Wushan residence to bask in the sun, and occasionally become a snitch.

Wu Yiqiong and Wu Erbai were very sad about this, and kept persuading Wu Xie to let him take over the family's property.Wu Xie said that anyway, he was not happy, and they couldn't do anything to him--on the superiority of being a single seedling.

Wu Xie went to the corner of the city gate of Hangzhou, found a little beggar who would stay there every day, and gave him some silver. The little beggar happily took the money and went to find Pan Zi.

Wu Xie watched the little beggar leave the city gate and the people entering and leaving the city gate, and suddenly felt a little envious of Wu Sansheng.Their Wu family was trapped in Hangzhou City, maybe he would never have the chance to see the outside world in his life.Or maybe, one day he can't help breaking the family rules like Wu Sansheng did.

Shaking his head, Wu Xie put away his messy thoughts.

Wu Sansheng told Wu Xie that if he was not in Hangzhou City and Wu Xie wanted to contact him, he would go to the city gate to find this little beggar, and this little beggar would go find Pan Zi for him.Wu Sansheng said that if you find Pan Zi, you will be able to find him.

In fact, until now, Wu Xie had only met Pan Zi once.At that time, Wu Xie felt that Pan Zi standing next to Wu Sansheng was like a silent wolf. When he told Wu Sansheng this idea, Wu Sansheng smiled inexplicably: "He is not a wolf, he is a vicious dog."

Wu Xie asked Wu Sansheng what this meant, and Wu Sansheng said with a nagging look: "When the time is right and you get in touch with my business, you will understand."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at the time, he only liked being his little boss, the little snitch, and didn't want to take care of his third uncle's affairs.

But now, he is afraid that he must take care of it.

The beads that the blue-shirted brother gave him were actually family heirlooms of the Wu family.

That was what Wu Xie told him when Wu Xie pointed to a portrait of himself when he was a child. In that portrait, Wu Laogou was still very young, and the bead was hanging on his waist.The original words of Wu Laogou are: "This is a family heirloom of our Wu family, but I gave it to the wrong person in a moment of confusion. It's not that I can't be ashamed to ask for it back, but that they refuse to return it. Sigh~"

Wu Xie knew that Old Dog Wu wanted to get the bead back, but Old Dog Wu didn't say who had the bead.When he got the bead from the little brother in blue, Wu Xie almost suspected that he was dreaming.And when the little brother said that it was given to him by the third uncle, he couldn't help but want to find the third uncle to find out what happened.

Everyone has curiosity, and Wu Xie was often tempted by Wu Sansheng before, but only this time, he took the initiative to find Wu Sansheng.

That night, Pan Zi came to Wu Shanju to look for Wu Xie, and he told Wu Xie that Wu Sansheng was missing.

Pan Zi said that Wu Sansheng often didn't see anyone for several days, but this time, he had been away far longer than before, and he didn't leave any contact information.

Wu Xie pointed at the table with his index finger: "When did my third uncle disappear?"

Pan Zi said, "Three months ago."

Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered that something big happened three months ago, what happened...

"Do you know what he did? Did he act abnormally?"

Pan Zi recalled the situation at that time: "At that time, when the third master heard the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor, he seemed very...excited. Then he muttered, 'I can finally get it back'."

right!The big event three months ago was the death of the Supreme Emperor!Wu Xie felt that the thing that the third uncle said could finally be taken back was the bead hidden on his body now.

"What then?"

"Later, the third master told me to find someone for him, and the third master left with him. He didn't say where he was going or when he would come back. He just told me to look after the business."

"Who did he ask you to find?"

"It's an expert on our way, we call him Brother Zhang."

"On the road?" Wu Xie blinked, "So, what exactly does Third Uncle do?"

"Tomb robbery."

"..."

Wu Xie felt that his whole body was not good. Tomb robbers, isn't that what poor people who can't afford to eat will do!Although the tomb robber and the Snitch are both thieves, the Snitch should be more elegant. Digging up dead people's tombs is really unethical...Actually...there are so many treasures in dead people's tombs!Why hasn't he thought of this for so many years!No wonder Third Uncle would always come up with weird treasures when he asked him for something. The old boy didn't know how many he had found over the years!

However, Wu Xie felt a little comforted when he thought that he would not be able to get out of Hangzhou City anyway.

The third uncle was so happy when the Supreme Emperor passed away... Could it be that this bead had always been in the hands of the Supreme Emperor?

Suddenly thought of something, Wu Xie asked Pan Zi again: "Is that brother Zhang you mentioned wearing a blue shirt and not talking much?"

Pan Zi nodded: "That's him! Little Third Master, have you ever seen this man?"

Wu Xie heard the anxiety in Pan Zi's tone, and knew that he was worried about Wu Sansheng.

"I met him, and he gave me the bead. He said that Uncle San asked him to give it to me. As for the situation of Uncle San... I didn't know what was going on at the time, and I didn't ask. When I got the bead, I I will contact you immediately."

Pan Zi frowned: "Then what should we do now?"

Wu Xie asked: "Can you still find that little brother? Since he is with the third uncle these days, we can ask him."

Pan Zi shook his head: "I have looked for him, but there is no news about him. I have been sending people to pay attention to Hangzhou City these days, but I didn't even know that he came to Hangzhou City to look for you. If he wants to hide, I'm afraid no one will can find him."

Wu Xie thought about it, but said helplessly, "Wait. We can only wait now."

Pan Zi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seemed hesitant.

Wu Xie knew what he wanted to ask: "The bead originally belonged to our Wu family. I guess it was because my grandfather had a feud with the Supreme Emperor, so the bead fell into the hands of the Supreme Emperor. Now that the Supreme Emperor has passed away, the third uncle may think of a way." Steal the beads back."

Pan Zi nodded: "Before the third master left, he said that if the third master came to him, let me tell the third master a word."

"what?"

"The third master said that the Wu family can leave Hangzhou City."

Wu Xie was stunned: "But...you can leave? Why?"

Pan Zi said, "I don't know, the third master didn't say anything."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, both Wu Xie and Pan Zi were startled.

Wu Xie looked at the figure outside the door and asked, "Who?"

The people outside the door didn't speak, just stood there, and didn't knock on the door when they heard Wu Xie's answer.

Pan Zi signaled Wu Xie to be careful, and then went to open the door.

Seeing the young man in blue shirt standing outside the door, Pan Zi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly let him in.

Wu Xie put away the surprise on his face, tugged at the sleeve of the young man in blue shirt and asked, "Where's my third uncle?"
