"Isn't this Prime Minister Du? Why is he here in the village? He hasn't been back for many, many years. What brought him back today?"
"Is that man really Prime Minister Du? How come he has become so thin? His wife is even thinner. What happened to this couple? Are they sick?"
"I don't know. He doesn't look well, but he doesn't look sick. He looks pretty energetic."
"Who are those three children? I like that girl so much. She is so delicate and attractive. I really want to hug her."
"I don't know them either. They should be Prime Minister Du's family! Are they going to the clan leader's house?"
"No, I think it's heading to the ancestral hall."
Prime Minister Du walked in front, accompanied by his wife, Chang Sui, Li Sizu, Chu Xiaoxiao, and the man with the dark charcoal hair, and they really walked into the Du family ancestral hall.
When he arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, he first burned a stick of incense for his ancestors and then gave instructions to the people guarding the hall.
"Please call the elders of the clan, as well as the clan leader and his fifth son Du Zhendong, and tell them that Du Zhenliang has something to say."
Prime Minister Du’s full name is Du Zhenliang, a name given to him by his father, who hoped that he would become a pillar of the country in the future.
"Yes! Wait a moment!" The man guarding the ancestral hall bowed and answered, then turned and left.
Black Charcoal Head looked around the ancestral hall but didn't see any tablets for worshipping anything.
Naituanzi also looked around and realized that the thing was not enshrined in the ancestral hall, so it must be enshrined in the clan leader's home.
He looked up at the trees beside the ancestral hall, then pricked up his ears to listen, and then he started laughing.
Li Sizu looked at her smiling face, revealing her snow-white glutinous rice lips and saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and gently wiped it off for her.
"Sister Xiaoxiao! What are you laughing at?"
Milk ball shook his head: "No, say it."
[I laughed at the Du family's patriarch, he is really interesting, he likes chubby women, and he also likes to smell the sweaty smell under the armpits of chubby women.]
Li Sizu: “…”
Ah! So perverted, no wonder Xiaoxiao laughed, it was really funny.
Black charcoal head: "......"
He has peculiar preferences and deserves a beating.
[All the fat women in Dujia Village have been touched by him, no matter if they are his niece's wife, his daughter-in-law or other people's wives, they are all fish in his pond.
What's even worse is that he can also make all the fat women get along well with each other, and cover up for him so that no one can see his relationship with these women. Aquaman! The real Aquaman. 】
Aquaman? What does the master mean by this?
The charcoal-haired man's brows were tightly knitted. Their family is the king of the sea, but there is no such pervert in the sea. Why is the patriarch the king of the sea?
[There are twelve fat women in Dujia Village. The chief's favorite is his niece-in-law Jiang, because her armpits are the stinkiest and closest to him, so he can smell them often.]
Li Sizu: “…”
This position of patriarch is probably the limit of his career. With a patriarch like this who has a chaotic private life, it's no wonder that the Du family would do something like plotting against his grandfather's family.
Naituanzi was smiling with her eyes curved, and the elders and the patriarch of the Du family all came.
There are five elders in the clan, plus the clan leader, and a young man in his twenties, who should be Du Zhendong.
"Zhenliang! Why did you come back suddenly?"
"Yeah! What happened? Why did you become so thin?"
"Who are these kids? Are they your descendants?"
"Zhenliang! Is there any change in the court? Is our queen okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, elders." Prime Minister Du saluted everyone, then looked at the clan leader, took out the cloth-wrapped box in his hand, and handed it to the clan leader, "Clan leader! Thank you for your special care for the Zhenliang family."
The patriarch's face froze, and when he saw the iron box, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes, but he quickly pretended to be calm.
"Zhenliang! What are you talking about? You won't bully me, the clan leader, just because you're the prime minister, right?"
[Hmph! You are sharp-tongued and good at making excuses.]
Since the clan leader refused to take the box, Prime Minister Du opened the box in front of everyone, took out the contents, and handed them one by one to the clan elders for inspection.
"This is what Zhenliang dug out from Grandpa Zeng's tomb. He just dug it out. The Imperial Master said that this is an evil magic that steals people's fortunes. Our family has been gradually declining since a few years ago.
Everything went wrong at home, and the huge family fortune disappeared silently in just a few years. Now, we can hardly even have a bowl of rice soup.
And what about the clan leader's family? In just a few years, they have accumulated a fortune, and the reason is that they and their son calculated our family's fortune."
"You're talking nonsense." The clan leader was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He raised his foot and roared, "The huge fortune my family has accumulated was earned by my fifth son doing business outside. What does it have to do with your family?"
The five elders looked at the things taken out of the box one by one, and all of them had very ugly expressions.
They also found it strange. Du Zhendong, the fifth son of the clan leader, had never done any big business, so how could he have earned so much wealth in just a few years?
The key point is that this person is stingy. Even if he earns money, he is unwilling to give a penny to the clan. He just enjoys himself at home, eating delicacies from land and sea, meat and fish, and ordering servants around.
The ancestral hall had not been repaired for several years, and Prime Minister Du did not have the money to hire someone to repair it. The elders of the clan discussed that their family should pay for it, but the father and son disagreed.
"This thing is quite old and has been buried in a grave. It has a strong earthy smell."
"The birth dates of all your family members are written on this piece of paper. There is also a talisman inside. This jade pendant should be what Zhenliang once gave to us."
"Everyone's jade pendant is the same, and it can't be said to belong to the clan leader. So, everyone takes out their own jade pendants and sees whoever's jade pendant is missing. That's who the jade pendant belongs to, and whoever put it in the tomb."
Prime Minister Du bowed to the elders and said, "Remember, this jade pendant was carved into six pieces, one for each of the five elders and one for the clan leader.
The material was originally given by the Empress, and thinking of the Empress's great favor, Zhenliang made six identical jade pendants and gave them to several people in the clan. Unexpectedly, it became a target of conspiracy against our family."
At this point, Prime Minister Du's voice choked up, and Mrs. Du covered her face and cried.
"The clan leader has such a cruel heart! He has already schemed against our family, and now he is going to scheme against the queen as well? He used evil magic to steal our family's fortune, and even used evil objects to empty our storehouse.
You may not believe it when I say this, and I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t experienced it myself.
We had several warehouses at home, and overnight, everything was gone. Now it’s even worse, even the rice, flour and oil we bought are taken away.
The good things given by the Queen disappeared accidentally, and it was as if a ghost had appeared in the house, but I couldn't see what the ghost looked like. "
After hearing this, the elders' faces changed drastically. Some of them exclaimed: "Is this really true? Oh my god! This is too scary."
