The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 297
After attending the Jiji ceremony, Ling Xiao took the time to watch it.

This is the relevant local chronicles that she sent people to collect over the years.

Local chronicles are compiled by order of the government, and new ones are added every three to five years.

With this kind of information, Ling Xiao can know when a famine occurs.

In the past, she had no information and could only guess wildly, but now she has empirical evidence and can infer.

For this reason, a form was made, and all the disasters in the local chronicles were filled in the form.

Fill in all the years and months in the local chronicles, and you can see clearly, which surprised Ling Xiao.

She herself had never been to the place where the Tao family lived. According to the memory of the original owner, there was a big river not far from the family land.

Not too far away, the reason why the clan land was flooded was because the embankment finally collapsed after the river surged, causing the flood.

But the strange thing is that apart from the flood this time, there was no outbreak of flood among the famines that can be found in the local chronicles.

Made Ling Xiao feel like he was wrong?This is how the same thing?She had to dig through the local chronicles again, and found that it was indeed.

So is it possible that the local chronicles are wrong, but the local chronicles record that the county has encountered hail, freezing rain, drought, and the so-called locust plague.

Only there is no flood, which seems a little weird. Is the flood control measures so good these years?Only then did the Tao family land have no floods.

After thinking about it for a while, Ling Xiao felt something was wrong. You must know that ancient embankments were usually made of stones, without any cement or reinforced concrete reinforcement, and the river water often had a chance to break through the embankment.

However, there has been no flood, which makes Ling Xiao a little distrustful of the records of local chronicles. There has not been a single flood in so many years, but other natural disasters have been recorded. Is there any problem?Is there really no flood?
Then a question arose in Ling Xiao's mind: Why is the Tao family land safe and sound?Is there any dragon king in this place?To be able to control the flood?Such an unbelievable idea was directly photographed, how could there be a dragon?

This is not the world of fantasy or fairy tales, she firmly denies this really unscientific method.Ling Xiao went on to sort out the information, and she also asked people to get a set of local chronicles of the counties near the Tao family's place, and just picked up relevant information bit by bit.

Considering that this matter does not need other people to know for the time being, Ling Xiao himself has personally experienced the whole matter, so he sorted out the local chronicles for several days, made one form after another, and then put all the forms together. Once filled out, it was aggregated onto a larger form.

After waiting for her to look at the disaster time of the corresponding time one by one, she found that several counties near the Tao family had experienced floods in these years. The only exception was the place where the Tao family was located. This result made Ling Xiao is a little curious and wants to dig deeper.

Could it be that the Tao family's place is some kind of geomantic treasure?That is the blessed land, which leads to every time a flood is likely to come, it is a good luck. Is this kind of speculation possible?Ling Xiao didn't believe it, she didn't believe that place would be so good.

But here comes the problem, if the geomantic omen of that place is so good, then naturally other famines should be exempted. Drought, hail and other problems do not exist, but in fact there are no famines. There have always been famines. .

So what is the situation?Ling Xiao thought about the timing of the famines in these places, no matter how you look at it, they are somewhat related.After thinking about it for a while, Ling Xiao had a bad guess in his heart, it was very fucking.

If this conjecture is true, it means that the Tao family, no, it should be the leader of the Tao family clan is very problematic, which may lead to the flood this time.

Sad if that's the case!Even as the spirit of all things, human beings are still irresistible in the face of overwhelming natural disasters, just like ants.

At this moment, she was a little uncertain whether the outbreak of the flood was purely a natural disaster?Or in addition to the original natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters?

After thinking for a long time, there was no answer, so Ling Xiao planned to ask other members of the Tao family. The original owner was too young for the Tao family, and many of them didn't know.

The unequal information would make it impossible for her to discover the truth of this matter, so she naturally wanted to know more, and wanted to know what was going on?

After thinking about it, Ling Xiao thought of the oldest surviving member of the Tao family. He escaped because he was not in the clan area because of seeing his daughter.

After receiving the letter, Master Tao San thought for a while before answering some of Ling Xiao's questions, and told Ling Xiao what he knew.

In fact, Master Tao San was also recalling the past during this period of time, and Ling Xiao's letter touched his heart.

He first expressed in the letter that he didn't know some things, but he could help to ask, and then talked about Tao's family affairs.

The Tao family is a descendant of a well-known high-ranking official in a certain dynasty in the early years. After many years of development and growth.

Finally, a family was established, and the prosperous Tao family settled in the south, and the family land has a history of hundreds of years.

Let the Tao family not be affected more after accidents in the north.

Later, after Yiguan went south, the Tao family still had a lot of influence.

The Tao family is in the position of a local emperor in the family land.

As a result, all the officials there had to visit Tao's house after taking office.

Ling Xiao was a little speechless seeing this, how does this feel like worshiping the pier.

Officials tend to favor the Tao family in daily life, Ling Xiao feels a little helpless about this.

This kind of situation will lead to some inflated minds of the Tao family and others, thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world.

The previous speculation has the possibility of realization, once it is found that there may be a flood, measures can be taken.

There is a lot of choice in the operation, for example, it is completely possible to open an opening in other places for flood discharge.

If you operate like this, you will definitely keep the Tao family's territory. Is this the way you think?Ling Xiao murmured this thought in his heart.

If this is the case, it can be regarded as understanding the confidence of the Tao family. They thought that the Tao family was still in full swing, but in fact, the situation of the Tao family had already begun to decline.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao feels his head hurts. If this is the case, the Tao family is bullying others, and in the eyes of some people, the Tao family deserves death.

But Ling Xiao feels that if the flood is to be released, the people who may live in the flood discharge area should be notified in advance to let them leave the dangerous area early. This is what should be done.

After reading Tao San's letter, Ling Xiao found that the person's letter only mentioned the glorious past of the Tao family, and didn't talk about the question Ling Xiao asked. He just said that he also wanted to ask about the situation, so she just waited. The other party's answer.

After waiting for another half a month, Ling Xiao felt a little anxious, what happened?Is this flood disaster a natural disaster?Or did the Tao family get the so-called retribution?

When a heavy package arrived a month later, Ling Xiao took a closer look at it after receiving it, only to find out that the Tao family discovered the problem not long after they moved to the clan area.

Because as long as the Tao family's land is based on agriculture, water is a very important resource. If there is no water, how can they farm?Without farming, there is no food to eat.

The Tao family found that the place where they live is close to the water, which is good or bad. Fortunately, they can grow crops with water, but it is not good because of floods.

After thinking about it for a while, the Tao family made a rule that every winter, the Tao family would pay a large sum of money to hire someone to repair the embankment next to the site.

This incident has continued, and eventually the Tao family has not been troubled by floods for a long time. Ling Xiao knew that he was very surprised.

In addition to the letter, there is also a ledger. Ling Xiao opened it and saw that it contained the money spent every winter.

Then Ling Xiao overturned the original guess, and the Tao family had nothing to blame for the flood.

Those who died in the flood were very miserable. The Tao family thought that there was absolutely no problem with the dam.

They should feel that they have no intention of leaving as they have for hundreds of years.

I never thought that the flood would submerge my home one day.

They must have thought that the Jedi were still fine and would be fine.

After Ling Xiao thought it over, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Now she feels that there are some big problems in this flood.

In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. Tao's dam has been repaired for these years.

It can be said that it has been renovated well, but has it become tofu in the past few years?
Unlikely, the Tao family repaired it for their own home, and the possibility of a shabby project is low.

Then it is very likely that someone took advantage of the weather to carry out a plan to destroy the entire Tao family.

If someone really did this, it would be a very vicious idea, which would prevent the Tao family from running out.

There are bad people in the Tao family who died, but there is absolutely no shortage of innocent people. Just because their surname is Tao, should they be buried with them?

Some people may think that different people have different feelings, and from the standpoint of the original owner, they absolutely do not agree with this idea.

Ling Xiao stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside, she saw that the sky outside was very blue, and everything seemed like nothing had happened.

After thinking about it, she thought: What would the original owner think if he was here?Should be thinking about asking what is going on?Always let the dead understand.

Maybe the original owner didn't care about other Tao family members, but naturally he wanted to know who did it for his parents' death.If it's just a natural disaster, it's more or less acceptable.

But if someone had a hand in causing so many deaths, that's a different story.But the question now is who to ask for clarification?Ling Xiao doesn't know how to find it now.

The known situation is not known at all. In addition, if someone digs the river to release the flood this time, it is necessary to save more lives, then it is understandable, and the people can be evacuated early before the action.

Then it is very likely that someone sent someone to do it privately, so we can't find clues, what a pity!Ling Xiao felt that if he had guessed this situation earlier, he could still go and see where the breach was, and see if he could find any clues.

But it is too late to guess the time now, several years have passed, and it is too late to look for the so-called clues, and it is too late, even if there are traces, they will probably disappear completely, after all, some clues still need time.

Why!She remembered that the river should have been repaired after the flood, maybe go there to ask now, maybe there are some clues, at this moment Ling Xiao is thinking about how to continue investigating the matter.

She still had some doubts in her heart, would the black hand behind the scenes commit crimes again?Ling Xiao thought of this very important question, and it was difficult to detect the conspiracy hiding in the dark.

At this moment, she is unable to determine what the other party is doing. Maybe he will have a chance to commit the crime again, or maybe not. The other party's thoughts are temporarily undetermined.

This is because there is too little known information about the other party to make a profile, and many things are unknown, so it is impossible to judge everything about this person.

It can be confirmed that the life of the original owner is really difficult. You must know that she doesn't know anything, but life still has to go on.

There are too many things hidden behind the life of the original owner and his two younger brothers, and the seemingly peaceful life is not easy.

Who knows if the possible behind-the-scenes black hand will let the three siblings go?What if you want to kill them all?
Will they have a good life without any defense at all?If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about you.

In addition, the one who plotted against the step-grandmother of the original owner, will he also do it?
And is there any connection between the two?This is very troublesome.

Could these two shots be two revenges carried out by one person?

Or do they each do their own thing?Are they all aimed at the Tao family?
All of these situations are possible.

So who are you really trying to deal with?do you died?

Will the rest of the Tao family receive successive reprisals?

Ling Xiao was a bit vigilant about this, so he still had to be careful.

If Ling Xiao's guess is correct, the death of the Tao family this time was plotted by someone.

Among them may be people who have some grievances with the Tao family, or it may be someone else.

Maybe those who have offended the Tao family will take the opportunity to retaliate, or they want the Tao family to be wiped out.

The Tao family didn't know about the conspiracy, and was exploited by inertial thinking, resulting in few survivors in the entire Tao family.

After Ling Xiao thought it over, he went to exercise his body. He wanted to bring up his own personal force, as well as other people's safety issues.

Fortunately, Xia's mother is very qualified, and the most important thing is Ling Xiao's own people, so the safety issue can still be guaranteed.

But Ling Xiao still felt that she didn't have enough manpower. She began to identify those people with ulterior motives, and tried her best to expose those people.

She doesn't have the patience to engage in psychological warfare. Some people are just on the opposite side. There is no need to do any ideological work, just let them get out of her territory.

During this period of time, someone once wanted to take over the Tao family. Thanks to Shibaniang's help, Shibaniang would often come to Ling Xiao these days, and Shibaniang's unique aesthetics have changed.

This made the eldest princess very happy, so she specially greeted people, not letting anyone make trouble, and some people didn't dare to make trouble again, so they quit.

As a result, Ling Xiao gradually developed some true feelings for Shiba Niang. She had discovered early on that Shi Ba Niang was not really stupid, but just a protective cover of her.

People have to learn to protect themselves when they are alive. Later Ling Xiao also learned about Shiba Niang, and Shiba Niang was also a relatively unlucky one.

The biological father belongs to the kind of person who is physically weak, and the eldest princess often favors this weak son.

But in the end, the husband and wife died one after another in the winter, and the eldest princess had to protect her granddaughter and grandson.

The health of the granddaughter Shiba Niang is good, but the health of the little grandson is very poor, and he gets sick every now and then.

Letting the eldest princess neglect her granddaughter's education for a while, it will be too late to take care of her when she has time.

I found that Shiba Niang's aesthetics are quite different, and they are fundamentally different from ordinary people.

It was too late for the Eldest Princess to turn things around, so she naturally wanted to ask why.

Later, she found out that she had something to do with the second son's wife.

The main reason is that she hates that the Eighteen Niangs' siblings occupy the mind of the eldest princess.

Let her children and grandchildren not get the love of the eldest princess, the second daughter-in-law made a move.

After this incident broke out, the eldest princess was furious, but the second son begged his mother not to explode.

Because if what her wife did was exposed, the whole family would be ashamed.

In the end, the woman was sent to the nunnery for recuperation, and after that, the eldest princess directly divided the family among her sons.

When the family was separated, she said with some chills: "I know some of you have always felt that I am partial to San'er Kanger."

"But ask yourself, have I ever treated you badly in the general direction? Have I ever been harsh when you married each other?"

She sat there and looked at the people below. Although this was done by the second daughter-in-law, didn't the others find out?The eldest princess would not believe it.

But these sons and daughters-in-law quickly knelt down one by one, but none of them wanted to speak out, because some of them were indeed very jealous of the Shibaniang sister and brother. in the eyes.

In this matter, they felt that the Eldest Princess was unfair to others, but the Eldest Princess thought that Fang was weak, how about she caring more?
