(Thank you very much for the generosity of 'Haihu 888', 'DENNISSEE', 'csn69' and monthly ticket support.)
Yu Zhengchao's complexion changed drastically, and he turned around suddenly to look, but it was a strange man wearing guard clothes who had sneaked into the ancestor's room at some point, without saying a word, lying on the bed with his arms still sick The ancestor of the old man got out from the side window.
"Quick, catch up and catch him." Yu Zhengchao screamed.
The leader of the guards with the strength of half-step breaking power has already led some guards to catch up, and Yu Zhengchao also chased after them.
The guards on the periphery of the North Court also noticed the scene here, and surrounded them from all directions. The thief was surprisingly fast, but he was still surrounded by the guards of Yu's family. The guards in the direction, taking advantage of the shock of the group of guards, scrambling to pick up the ancestors, the thief rushed out of the encirclement, his figure flashed, and then disappeared.
A guard had just caught the fainted ancestor when Yu Zhengchao came to him and shouted, "Give me the ancestor."
The guard was Yu Zhongcheng's confidant, so he hesitated, but the leader of the guard next to Yu Zhengchao slammed and put the knife on his neck. Handed over to Yu Zhengchao.
Surrounded by the guards he brought from the capital, Yu Zhengchao went back to the ancestor's room, but after a few steps, he felt something on the **** of the ancestor in his arms, and his heart was shocked , quietly returned to the ancestor's room, asked people to close the door and window first, then reached in, and pulled out a booklet made of some kind of animal skin from the ancestor's buttocks.
"It's the Scripture of Longevity!" After Yu Zhengchao saw the four words written on the animal skin booklet, he was overjoyed. He flipped through a part of the content, thought about it carefully, and then checked the age of the animal hide, feeling that this was the "Longevity Scripture". Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he carefully put the "Longevity Scripture" in his arms.
"After the old man wakes up, he will definitely ask questions, and everyone in this ancestral house listens to the old man and the third uncle. After repelling the thieves, this place will be controlled by the third uncle's people again. If they Forcibly seize the "Longevity Scripture"..."
Thinking of this, a ruthless look flashed in Yu Zhengchao's eyes, he raised his right hand and tightly covered his ancestor's mouth and nose...
The city guards of Xianyang City rushed towards Yu's ancestral house. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three groups of thieves withdrew one by one under the cover of night.
It was dawn, and the officials in Xianyang city lazily opened the gate, and the city was unimpeded again.
With the opening of the Fangmen, rumors spread like a plague, and spread throughout the city in a short time.
The thieves who attacked Yu's family last night were stronger than ever. They once killed the ancestor of Yu's North Courtyard and hijacked him. The ancestor of Yu's family who was already seriously ill was frightened and finally died.
This rumor came from the Yu family's ancestral house, but not long after, rumors spread from somewhere that the ancestor of the Yu family passed the "Longevity Scripture" to the current head of the Yu family before his death The eldest son of Yu Zhengchao.
"Where is your son! Let him come out to see me." After hearing the news, Yu Zhongcheng, who was busy with the funeral, changed his face drastically, and hurried to the south courtyard where Yu Zhengchao lived, without caring about other things. He yelled as soon as he entered the door.
"Third Lord, as soon as the city gate opened at dawn, the eldest son rushed to the capital with his three hundred guards." The housekeeper guarding the south courtyard said cautiously.
"What, I'm already gone..." Yu Zhongcheng's expression changed drastically again, and then thinking that the news had spread, his expression became extremely ugly.
"You idiot, come here, quickly call the two old priests in the mansion, and let them bring five hundred guards to chase after the eldest son. Be sure to bring them here for me, and if nothing can be done, **** them to the capital first. "It's not that Yu Zhongcheng didn't suspect that the death of the ancestor was related to Yu Zhengchao, but this kind of rebellious behavior is really unbelievable. After all, a thief hijacked the ancestor last night. Many people have seen this incident. Arrived, so he still believes that after the ancestor was frightened to death, Yu Zhengchao found the "Longevity Scripture" from him. Of course he also wanted the "Longevity Scripture", but now it has fallen into Zhengchao's hands. For the sake of the overall interests of the Yu family, they had no choice but to protect Yu Zhengchao so that he could return to the capital smoothly.
…
…
The "Longevity Scripture" finally has traces. The undercurrent that has been surging for more than a month is bound to erupt today. Countless dead men, masters, and powerful figures chased Yu Zhengchao and his party.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have liked to watch the excitement, and watching the excitement is never a big deal. Accidents happened one after another in Yu's family for more than a month, which suits the tastes of the people watching the excitement. Fresh, magical, exciting, and deadly, it completely satisfies all the elements of a lively event.
In the morning, with Xianyang City as the center, no matter the officials, nobles, merchants, or ordinary people, they were all whispering and discussing, and after exaggerating and processing what happened at home last night, it spread more and more It is miraculous, especially about the process of the "Longevity Scripture" being obtained by Yu Zhengchao, the Grand Duke of the Yu family, and it was not known who was exposed, and a magical turning point occurred. He was willing to hand over the "Longevity Scripture" to Yu Zhengchao, who took the opportunity to smother his ancestor to death, and then found the "Longevity Scripture" from him.
I don't know who the source of the news is, but everyone who talks about this matter speaks with a nose and eyes, as if they have seen it with their own eyes.
Those who have something good to do will even swear to the sky, saying that they saw the eldest son of the Yu family rushing out of the east gate in a panic with a group of guards early in the morning. One look at his expression, and he knew that he was guilty of a thief...
The so-called public opinion makes money, when everyone is spreading a story, no matter whether the story itself is true or not, the impact on the parties is no different. At this time, under the protection of the guards, Yu Zhengchao, who was galloping on horseback, didn't know that he was already notorious and was destined to be a tragedy.
The journey from Xianyang to Beijing is less than 80 miles away. If you have a good horse to travel, and don't count the loss of horsepower, you can get there in an hour. But the road of less than eighty miles was murderous every step of the way.
Twenty miles away from Xianyang, when Yu Zhengchao and his party passed through a forest, they were stopped by a group of men in black...

"Shen Guang, you have worked hard. Don't rush to talk about the business first. Let's eat two bites of food first. Today is Xiaoyu's first time cooking. The taste is really delicious." Glancing at Shen Guang who walked in hurriedly, he waved his hand to interrupt the other party's salute, and invited him to the table with a smile.
