Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

When Yan Shijin heard Yun Shengsheng say that Zhu Xiaowang was a talented person, she was somewhat surprised.

"Oh? What kind of talent is he?" Could it be that he misjudged him this time?

Yun Shengsheng chuckled: "It's a secret! Brother Shi Jin, I can't tell you yet."

Yan Shijin was slightly taken aback, not expecting Yun Shengsheng to keep him in suspense.

However, he wasn't angry. As long as there was a clue, he could have someone investigate it himself.

Yun Shengsheng didn't intend to say anything, fearing that Yan Shijin, a righteous person, wouldn't be able to handle it, but she was secretly delighted.

Wow, I actually encountered a master tomb raider in ancient times!

Yan Shijin was taken aback.

A master tomb raider?

Could it be that this Zhu Xiaowang is a tomb raider?

He narrowed his eyes, clearly finding it hard to accept.

But seeing how excited Yun Shengsheng was, he didn't know what to say.

Yun Shengsheng didn't notice the change in Yan Shijin's expression; she was still excitedly lost in thought.

[Tongzi, do you know that back in modern times, I was a huge fan of the Tomb Raider Diary? Now that I can see real people working in the industry, it's like a dream come true!]

The little dumpling was speechless: "Is it really that serious?!"

Yun Shengsheng nodded instantly: "Absolutely!"

It turns out that a hundred years ago, the entire village of Zhujia Village made a living by tomb raiding.

At that time, the previous emperor was incompetent, and the maternal relatives and eunuchs held power. There was war and chaos, and the people were suffering. They couldn't even fill their stomachs, so who cared about whether their livelihood was clean or not?

To survive, the Zhu family members turned to tomb raiding.

However, they only target ancient tombs and never touch those from the current dynasty or modern times.

At first, I was clumsy, but I gradually got the hang of it and even developed my own set of experience and techniques.

After the previous dynasty collapsed, it split into the seven or eight countries we know today.

The location of Zhujia Village was right in the Great Xuan Kingdom.

The first emperor of the Great Xuan Kingdom loved his people like his own children. With a stable court and peace throughout the land, the people of Zhujia Village decided to give up their work.

Gradually, the whole village stopped mentioning it.

The younger generation is even less aware that their ancestors once did this kind of business.

But Zhu Xiaowang's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father have been secretly continuing their old ways.

When Zhu Xiaowang was young, his grandfather and father taught him how to locate auspicious burial sites, observe feng shui, and study soil changes. They would also occasionally take him to tombs.

Later, his grandfather and father died during a tomb raiding incident, and his mother also died of illness.

At the time, no one in the village knew about this.

Everyone assumed that his father and grandfather had gone out to make a living and had disappeared since.

Remembering the kindness his father and grandfather had shown to the village, everyone took extra care of Zhu Xiaowang. That's how they raised him.

In previous years, there were many years of famine and the villagers did not have enough to eat, but they still thought of giving Zhu Xiaowang a bite to eat.

Zhu Xiaowang always remembered this kindness and didn't want the villagers to starve to death. So he secretly went back to his old profession.

He was more outstanding than his father, and he was more principled.

He only robbed ancient tombs, and he never damaged the tombs; he only took out a small portion of gold and silver artifacts to use in emergencies.

After exchanging the money, he didn't spend it recklessly. Instead, he secretly bought grain and placed it in the ancestral hall at night, making everyone believe it was a gift from their ancestors.

But he felt that tomb raiding was a morally reprehensible act. In order to avoid being discovered by the villagers and to prevent them from suffering the same fate, he deliberately caused trouble in the village.

Today I steal a chicken, tomorrow I steal a melon, and the day after tomorrow I get into a fight with someone's kid.

Over time, the whole village grew tired of him and avoided him.

No one would doubt what he did when he disappeared for ten days or half a month.

Actually, the reason why Zhu Xiaowang secretly went to Zhu Sanjiang's house in the middle of the night that day was not to steal anything from him.

He noticed that Zhu Sanjiang's complexion was getting worse and worse, and he heard that he was suffering from severe insomnia and couldn't sleep all night.

So he secretly swapped some sleeping pills and planned to leave them at Zhu Sanjiang's house that night.

Unexpectedly, they heard Zhu Sanjiang holding his wife's memorial tablet, rambling on about the murders he committed when he was young.

Zhu Xiaowang was shocked and instinctively wanted to run away to warn the villagers.

Unexpectedly, the old man Zhu Sanjiang reacted so quickly that he knocked Zhu Xiaowang to the ground.

Then they went to argue in front of everyone.

Zhu Xiaowang probably realized that no one believed him, and the village chief was even going to arrest him and report him to the authorities. He had no choice but to compromise for now and think about slowly finding evidence later.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Sanjiang was a ruthless man who gave Zhu Xiaowang no chance at all. After returning to Zhu Sanjiang's house, he knocked Zhu Xiaowang unconscious and locked him in a secret room.

Now that Zhu Sanjiang's matter has been resolved, Zhu Xiaowang's reputation in the village remains very bad.

Yun Shengsheng stroked his chin, deep in thought.

[Zhu Xiaowang probably felt he had repaid his debt of gratitude, which is why he wanted to leave Zhu Family Village. Since he had nowhere else to go, he set his sights on us!]

The little dumpling nodded: "Yes, very likely!"

"But what use is he to you, a tomb raider?"

"Aren't you afraid he'll dig up your family's ancestral graves!"

Yun Shengsheng directly picked up the little dumpling by the foot, making it glare angrily upside down.

What are you saying! How could Xiao Wang be useless!

Did you know that tomb raiding techniques are extremely rare? The skills required are incredibly complex.

He must have an extremely thorough understanding of history, topography, soil, feng shui, and the I Ching! No less than a current geography PhD!

How can such talent be wasted!

Although I can't get him to go tomb raiding, I can get him to help examine mountains and geological structures; maybe we can find various mines of gold, silver, iron, etc.

[You might even find ancient ruins!]

The little dumpling finally broke free from his grasp and asked, puzzled, "Why didn't you just ask me? Why did you need him?"

Yun Shengsheng held up a finger and shook it: 【No, it's different!】

You only answer what I ask you.

[But Zhu Xiaowang will take the initiative! In the future, I can give him a task, then send him out, and he will go find it himself...]

[Perhaps he could become a great geographer and geologist!]

Just like Pei Xiu of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, who is hailed as the "Father of Chinese Scientific Cartography," and Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who created the first comprehensive and systematic geographical work in China, the *Shui Jing Zhu* (Commentary on the Waterways Classic), etc.!

Yan Shijin squinted as he listened to Yun Shengsheng's innermost thoughts, and couldn't help but think more and more deeply.

Perhaps, just as Sheng Sheng said, Zhu Xiaowang will achieve great things in the future...

……

On the other side, at the border.

The original territory of the Great Yan Kingdom was much larger than that of the Great Xuan Kingdom, but after two years of fighting, the Great Xuan Kingdom managed to conquer a quarter of the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Eight prefectures and thirty-two counties were thus brought under the control of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

Although the army is not yet at the gates of the Great Yan capital, it has still caused great anxiety among the Great Yan royal family.

In particular, the Great Xuan Kingdom captured the eldest prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, so the war can be said to be basically over.

Unless the Great Xuan Kingdom truly intends to completely destroy the Great Yan Kingdom, continuing the war would be largely pointless.

At this time, what was originally Hotan Prefecture of the Great Yan Kingdom has now become Hotan Prefecture of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

After the generals finished their discussion in the government office and left, Zhen Linqing stayed and went directly to Wenren Jue's side.

"Brother Wenren, um... cough cough, I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble, but thank you very much."
