Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 851 Legendary Past

After listening to Wang Zhan's story, Grandma Jinhua also expressed her suspicions. She suspected that this was a trap set up by someone, and the person behind it must be someone familiar to He Yushui's brother Sha Zhu.

Granny Jinhua drank the tea Wang Zhan continued to pour, lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Your master said that the government investigated those people and said that they had just arrived in the Forty-Nine City, is that right?"

Wang Zhan nodded, and Granny Jinhua continued, "This trap was very crude, in other words, simple and crude. It's obvious that this person is not a regular at doing this, otherwise everyone would be able to see it, so there is only one possibility."

Wang Zhan looked up at Granny Jinhua and said, "These people were taught temporarily by someone, and they were just following orders. This is only their first time, and maybe also the last time?"

Granny Jinhua nodded calmly and continued, "I'm just curious. What are they trying to achieve by doing this? It's not worth it just for the little money in this girl's hand. Forget it. Let's leave this matter to your uncle Yu's disciples and grandchildren. Let them investigate. They will definitely find out the answer."

Wang Zhan and He Yushui, who had been listening for a long time, fell into deep thought. They became even more curious about the person behind this matter.

Wang Zhan asked at this time: "By the way, Grandma, where is Uncle Yu?"

Granny Jinhua said, "He said he was going to eat fried liver this morning, but he hasn't come back in half an hour. I guess something delayed him. It should be almost time. What time is it now?"

Wang Zhan nodded and then asked, "By the way, Granny Jinhua, you said this area is unsafe, has something happened?"

Granny Jinhua said mysteriously, "Did your two cheap masters ever tell you the story of Mei Wuying?"

Wang Zhan was stunned. He seemed to remember that Blind Chen had mentioned it before, but Daoist Wang stopped him. At that time, Wang Zhan also asked, "Can't we mention this person?" Daoist Wang explained to him that if he talked too much, he might get caught up in it.

Wang Zhan looked at Granny Jinhua and said, "Master Chen mentioned it once, but he didn't say much. I knew this person, but he didn't tell me what he did or what happened to him."

Granny Jinhua then said, "Then you have heard of Swallow Li San, right?"

"Huh? This story is so famous that even the grandpas and aunts in the alley know about it. But I know a little more. Wang Laoqi often mentions it when he brags about his father's heroic past." Wang Zhan said.

Granny Jinhua nodded and said, "It must be that the blind man mentioned it, but the Taoist priest Zamao didn't let him say it, right?"

Wang Zhan was stunned and said, "Grandma, you didn't learn fortune-telling from Blind Chen, did you? It's so accurate."

Granny Jinhua said, "Alas, I have been dealing with them all my life, and I know their personalities very well. Taoist Zamao has been very kind to you, so let me tell you the story of Mei Wuying."

Wang Zhan was very surprised when listening to Grandma Jinhua's story. He didn't expect that there was such a person in the world. No, it cannot be said to be a person. It is a group of thieves with an orderly inheritance.

Mei Wuying is not the same person. It is said that this person has existed since the early Qing Dynasty. He is a master thief who can come and go without a trace. His main targets of theft are wealthy families. The wealthy families here do not refer to the landlords in the countryside or the merchants doing business, but the wealthy families above the level of princes, and also the high-ranking officials.

The most famous one is said to be the fifth generation Mei Wuying, who once stole Emperor Qianlong's Nine Dragon Jade Liquid Pot from Qianlong's study. As a result, countless people died in the palace. Later, it was said that it was Mei Wuying's masterpiece. Therefore, no matter how the emperors changed, Mei Wuying's wanted order always existed, and it is the same until now.

Because the thief who inherited the order of Mei Wuying has stolen countless treasures, there is a saying in the world that Mei Wuying should have a secret base, which should also be called his base camp, because the things and money stolen by Mei Wuying have never appeared on the market. Until now, there have been several cases of missing treasures in Sijiu City in recent years. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the person responsible. They found many detective experts, and after several studies, everyone thought it was the masterpiece of Mei Wuying.

Many people in the underworld are also looking for this person. They are not interested in him, but are interested in the treasures that their generations have stolen and the place where he hides the treasure.

As for why Taoist Wang didn't let Blind Chen say more to Wang Zhan, it was because he was afraid that he would also fall into the obsession of finding people or treasures. Because many people have spent all their fortunes for this person, some have become depressed, and some have gone to the outskirts of Sijiu City for nothing. Anyway, no one has found it, and they don't even know whether Mei Wuying is a man or a woman.

After listening to this, Wang Zhan asked, "Mother-in-law, what does that have to do with this?"

Granny Jinhua looked at him with disdain and said, "I always thought you were very smart. Where am I?"

Wang Zhan was confused and said, "Paoju Hutong? Oh, I see. There's a prison nearby, you mean?"

Granny Jinhua said, "That's right. You know what, the government is really powerful now. They caught Mei Wuying a while ago and locked him up in the Artillery Bureau Prison."

Wang Zhan said, "I understand a little bit now. This person has influenced a lot of people. There must be a lot of people who are eager to meet him alone."

Granny Jinhua sighed, "That's right. Money can move people's hearts. By the way, guess whether that person is a man or a woman?"

Wang Zhan chuckled and said, "Mother-in-law, since you asked this question, it must be a woman. I just don't know how old she is. I'm also very curious."

Granny Jinhua laughed and said, "Don't be curious. You can't see her anyway."

Wang Zhan was chatting with Grandma Jinhua. Grandpa Yu hadn't come back yet, so Grandma Jinhua was a little angry. She said, "You guys sit down. I'll go to the yard next door and ask someone to call him back. This kid is not at work and he's not at home."

Granny Jinhua walked out after she finished speaking. He Yushui saw Granny Jinhua leaving and asked, "Is Uncle Yu the Uncle Yu in the boiler room? What is his relationship with Granny Jinhua?"

Wang Zhan said: "Yes, it's him. He is Granny Jinhua's son."

"Oh, how old is Granny Jinhua? I don't think she walks like an old woman."

Wang Zhan chuckled and said, "Granny Jinhua is over 80 years old, and Uncle Yu is also over 50 years old. Granny Jinhua is no ordinary person. When she was young, she was a general who rode horses and led troops to fight. What a capable person she is."

He Yushui was very surprised, and Wang Li also said beside him: "Yes, yes, she wanted to take me as her apprentice, but my brother didn't agree. I don't know why?"

He Yushui looked at Wang Zhan in confusion after hearing this. Wang Zhan said, "I am much more capable than her. My sister doesn't need anyone to teach her. Wait, when Lili is older, she will start learning martial arts."

He Yushui finally understood, but she really didn't know how capable Wang Zhan was. All she knew was that Wang Zhan seemed to know everything and could do everything.
