"Yes! The fifth son of our main branch patriarch has been very lucky in recent years. He makes money no matter what he does." The old lady answered without thinking, "In just a few years, he has accumulated a fortune of millions. Everyone in the Du family says that he is a man of great fortune."
[That's right, it must be the Du family's main branch who did this. We should go to the old man's grave and change the feng shui.]
The charcoal-headed man showed contempt and ridicule on his face: "Old Madam! Do the people from the main branch of the Du family have any objections to you?"
"Where did you hear that, kid?" Mrs. Du looked at the black-haired man in surprise, and then told them a story, "Our master's branch was originally the main branch, and the branch of the family was the side branch.
But when our old master Zeng was young, he fell in love with a prostitute and insisted on divorcing her. Later, the elders felt that our old master Zeng was not worthy of being the main branch, so they sentenced us to be the side branch.
The side branch became the main branch, and our old grandfather Zeng was also a man with a bad temper. He brought his old lady Zeng to the capital to seek a way out for themselves. This went on for generations, and our branch became the most promising branch of the Du family.
Unfortunately, when it comes to us, it will become like the old man Zeng in the past. Alas! I don’t know what happened to our family and why it has become like this.”
The charcoal-headed man told Mrs. Du, "Because someone tampered with your old master Zeng's tomb, the feng shui has been changed."
Mrs. Du was shocked: "My dear young master, are you telling the truth?"
Li Sizu answered on behalf of the black-haired man: "Grandmother! He is Xiaoxiao's servant, very capable, and what he said must be correct."
At this time, Prime Minister Du came back and heard it, his face looked grim.
Are the people of the main branch really so cruel? Did they tamper with his great-grandfather's tomb?
Seeing that his daughter entered the palace and became the queen, everyone was jealous and wanted to plot against his family, using the most disgusting methods.
Milk ball nodded vigorously, indicating that what the charcoal head said was true: "Take it, go, and see it."
Li Sizu heard the footsteps behind him and turned back to greet Prime Minister Du: "Grandfather! Take us to see our ancestors' graves!"
Prime Minister Du clasped his fists towards Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Grandmaster! Thank you for your help!"
This baby girl from the Chu family cannot be underestimated. Her abilities are much better than the black boy in front of her. She can see at a glance what is happening to the Du family, and she must have a way to resolve the matter satisfactorily.
Naituanzi smiled and shook her head, opening her arms for Prime Minister Du to hold her. She couldn't walk over by herself because her legs were too short and walking would be too difficult.
Heitantou is too small to carry her, and the same goes for the Crown Prince. It would be better for Prime Minister Du to carry her.
Several people went to the Du family's cemetery.
Mrs. Du hadn't been here for many years, and was surprised to see two small locust trees next to Old Master Zeng's grave.
"Who planted these two trees? They weren't there when I came here before!"
Prime Minister Du replied: "These came from the main branch when they held a grand ancestor worship ceremony a few years ago. Every grave has some, so we had them planted."
[Haha! Prime Minister Du is really sincere. He just plants what others give him, and he is not afraid of killing himself.]
"Hahaha!" The charcoal-haired man laughed like a repeater, "Prime Minister Du is really sincere, you just plant whatever people give you, and you're not afraid of killing yourself.
I guess your main branch did it on purpose? Sophora japonica is not a good thing, and it is planted in this position. No wonder your family cannot gather wealth. "
Mrs. Du was quite surprised and looked at the black-haired man with admiration: "Young Master! Is what you said true? Is our family's lack of wealth due to these two locust trees?"
The black-haired man did not answer immediately, but looked at Chu Xiaoxiao. Li Sizu also looked eagerly at the little boy who was looking around the cemetery.
[Let someone dig up the two locust trees.]
The repeater came online, and the charcoal-haired man pointed at the two locust trees and said, "Hurry up and dig them up."
Prime Minister Du asked his followers to call the gravekeeper to come and dig up the tree. The imperial teacher's servant said that the tree was not good and must be dug.
Milk ball looked around the grave carefully and pointed to an inconspicuous place: "Dig!"
Black-haired man snatched the hoe from the gravekeeper and started digging at the pile of earth.
Prime Minister Du and Madam Du's faces turned pale, they thought, that is our ancestor's tomb, how can we dig it up just like that?
Fortunately, the dark-skinned child was not very strong and did not dig very deep. What would happen if he really dug up Old Master Zeng’s grave and disturbed him?
Black Charcoal Head didn't have much strength, but after digging three times, the hoe hit something and made a "clang" sound.
Prime Minister Du and Madam Du were surprised again. How could there be something hidden in Old Master Zeng’s tomb?
The grave keeper came over to help, and after a few tries, he opened it up. It turned out to be an exquisite iron box with intricate patterns carved on the outside. The box was not big, about the size of an adult's palm.
The outside of the box should have been wrapped in cloth, but unfortunately the cloth had rotted away, leaving only some dirty strips of cloth stuck to it.
The gravekeeper cleaned the box and brought it to Prime Minister Du: "Master! I don't know who put this thing in there. I have been guarding here for more than ten years, and no one has ever been here except the Du family."
[This thing was originally put in by the Du family, why did others put it in there? ]
Li Sizu: “…”
The main branch of the Du family is so evil that they actually used this method to plot against my grandfather.
The charcoal-headed man told Prime Minister Du slowly and unhurriedly: "This thing was put in there by the Du family."
Prime Minister Du was stunned, then looked at the gravekeeper: "Do you remember who from the Du family's main branch came to pay homage to my great-grandfather a few years ago?"
The gravekeeper answered without thinking, "Only the clan leader and his fifth son Du Zhendong came here once. No one else has ever been here."
[Huh! This makes sense. The fifth son of the patriarch of the main branch family will probably become rich after returning from here, and everything he does will go smoothly.]
“Hehehe!” Black Charcoal Head sneered, “That makes sense. The things in the tomb must have been buried by them.”
Madam Du's eyes were red with anger. "The people of the main branch are too shameless. They actually used such despicable means to plot against us? Master! We can't just let this go. We have to teach the main branch a lesson."
Prime Minister Du looked at the box and bowed to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Master! Can you help me see what's inside?"
Naituanzi asked Heitantou to open it, and inside was a piece of red paper, a talisman, and a jade pendant.
The birth dates of Prime Minister Du's entire family were written on the red paper. It was so densely packed that it filled up the entire paper. Prime Minister Du gritted his teeth as he read it. It turned out that someone had plotted against their family.
Originally, he didn't really believe what the national teacher said. Why would the people of the main branch plot against him? If their family was doing well, wouldn't the main branch be better? What benefit could the main branch get by putting him to death?
What on earth are they thinking? Are they all crazy?
Framed the prime minister of the dynasty, murdered the queen's mother's family, once the charges are proven, will the people of the main branch have any way to survive?
