The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 145 Story
Say?
Still don't say it?

Tell me, will Wu Shunian take advantage of this and threaten him?
If you don't say it, does it seem insincere?

After thinking for a moment, Yan Sanhe said frankly: "The matter is indeed not trivial. If the inner demons are not understood, the old lady's children and grandchildren will be unlucky."

Wu Shunian looked at Pei Xiao thoughtfully: "Mr. Pei, is your maternal ancestor a minister of household affairs?"

Everyone has taken the Resurrection Pill, and the Ji family's affairs cannot be hidden.

Pei smiled and nodded, "My eldest uncle once served as Minister of Household Affairs."

"once?"

Wu Shunian frowned: "What about now?"

"To tell you the truth, I am now a prisoner."

Pei Xiao was silent for a moment, feeling that he couldn't let him lead the way by the nose, so he added another sentence.

"Wu Shunian, this is the third petition we have given you. We have shown all our sincerity."

Wu Shunian lowered his head without saying a word.

Because he was too thin, his neck looked particularly slender, as if it would break with just a slight bend.

Pei Xiao was not sure what this person was thinking, so he lightly touched Yan Sanhe's feet under the table.

Yan Sanhe opened his eyelids and glanced at Pei Xiao, without making any reaction.

The words have already reached this point, and even the trump card has been shown to others, so there is no point in pressing it any further.

They went to great lengths to lure them into the trap, obviously with a motive.

Sooner or later, he will tell you what he is planning.

as predicted.

After a moment, Wu Shunian looked up at Zhou Ye with a questioning tone.

"Miss Yan and Mr. Pei handed us three certificates of nomination. Ah Ye, we will also give them three copies. What do you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of the three people at the table were beating fast.

Come, come, come!

Zhou Ye lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly after a long silence: "I will give this first letter of nomination to Mr. Pei."

Pei Xiao's heartbeat, which was originally pounding, stopped after hearing this sentence.

"I am Chinese, but the Wu family is my master."

My mother!

What a big petition!

The three of them gasped in shock at the same time.

The people of China and the officials of China regard the exiled monarch as their master. This, this, this...

Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao looked at each other in confusion.

Those who work in the officialdom can be greedy, lustful, not doing their job properly, and not enterprising. Even if you prey on the common people and care about human life, it is not a big deal, but when you are in Cao Ying, your heart is Han...

That is a treacherous traitor.

Pei Xiao wanted to ask, "Why did you do this?", but his reason told him: he couldn't ask.

"I accept your certificate of nomination."

"I will give this second certificate of nomination to Mr. Xie."

Zhou Ye looked at him and said, "I made up my mind about the inn station."

Xie Zhifei frowned: "Didn't you have a plan in advance?"

"There was no premeditation at the time, just to take advantage of the situation."

Zhou Ye's voice was very dry, "I actually met Mr. Pei and Mr. Xie two years ago."

Xie Zhifei's heart trembled, "You knew us two years ago? How did you meet us?"

"I know!"

Pei Xiao's mind was very bright at this moment, "He must have seen him when he came to our Hundred Medicine Hall to buy the Resurrection Pill."

"It's true. I come to Baiyao Hall every year when I go to Beijing to report on my work. Because of this, I know that both of them are very wealthy owners... so I decided to take advantage of them."

Xie Zhifei asked: "Is it because of lack of money?"

Zhou Ye lowered his eyes and lingered on Wu Shunian's profile for a moment, "That's right!"

"He always wanted to give me the best, so that the family could not make ends meet." Wu Shunian's tone was not reproachful, but his voice was gentle and calm.

He took off a jade plate finger from his thumb and said, "This plate finger is more than enough to pay for the 800 taels. Mr. Xie, please keep it!"

Would I want something with your last name Wu?
Xie Zhifei tried his best to control his tone, "Master Zhou is right, I, Mr. Xie, do not lack the 800 taels."

Wu Shunian smiled and did not put the banzhi on again, but casually placed it on the table.

Zhou Ye glanced at Xie Zhifei coldly and then said, "Miss Yan..."

"Wait a moment!"

Yan Sanhe interrupted him, "Before you send the third letter of nomination, I have two questions to ask."

Zhou Ye: "Say it!"

Yan Sanhe: "What are you going to do in the capital this time? Or report on your work?"

Zhou Ye: "I made a special trip to buy medicine."

Yan Sanhe: "What happened at the inn was impromptu, so starting the herbal tea shop, you were the one who planned it?"

Zhou Ye: "Yes."

Yan Sanhe: "What's the plan?"

Zhou Ye smiled coldly, "Miss Yan, you must be too impatient. This is the third certificate of nomination that we want to return to you."

Yan Sanhe: "..."

"But before I send out the third petition, I would like you to listen to a story."

Zhou Ye bent down and whispered in Wu Shunian's ear, "You say it, or should I?"

Wu Shunian was quiet for a moment, "It's rare to see a few young people, and I don't know why I have the desire to talk."

Zhou Ye nodded, reached for the tea cup in front of him, and handed it to his mouth.

"Then moisten your throat first."

Wu Shunian took his hand, drank a few sips, and then said apologetically: "The story is a bit long, I wonder if you have the patience to listen to it?"

"Yes! No matter how long it is, we want to hear it and we can't ask for it."

Yan Sanhe's voice was firm.

The story Wu Shunian wants to tell will not be about the ups and downs of ordinary people. His father who dared to rebel, dare to confront the Chinese country, and dared to destroy the entire Zheng family is an incredible legend.

"This story starts with my grandfather."

Wu Shunian raised his lips and smiled faintly.

"If you ask about the Wu family, you must know that the Wu family originally belonged to the royal family of the previous dynasty. They were ousted because of the Li family's rebellion.

Li showed mercy and allowed the most humble branch of the Wu family to survive. "

A magnificent history, he spoke of it so lightly...

Yan Sanhe couldn't help but look at Wu Shunian again.

"There are two possibilities for people who fall from a height: one is greedy for glory and wealth and wants to return to the past; the other is to hide from the world and live in seclusion and be an idle person."

Wu Shunian looked dimly into the distance.

"This branch of the Wu family has always been timid and fearful of trouble, so they live in seclusion in the old street by the Beicang River, staying away from disputes and living a peaceful life.

I have survived, but I am always under the surveillance of the Li family. Although the world is vast, there is no place to avoid Li.

For nearly a hundred years, generations of the Wu family have been living in fear, hanging on by a thread. "

That's not the case with people's hearts.

Yan Sanhe sighed in his heart, whoever sat on that throne would not let the Wu family go.

"My grandfather grew up in such an environment. He was introverted and taciturn. He immersed himself in books and turned his attention to other things.

My father once told me that my grandfather’s house was full of books. As long as there were good books, he would not even bother to eat or sleep. "

Hearing this, Yan Sanhe couldn't help but think of Yan Xing.

Yan Xing is also a book lover. As long as he finds a good book, he is happier than a child who wants to eat sweets.

And those who love books must have something in their hearts.

It seems that Wu Shunian's grandfather is by no means an ordinary person.
