Twenty years ago, the Wen family was still a small business. The previous head of the Wen family accidentally saved a fortune teller, and the fortune teller, in return for the life-saving grace of the Wen family head, promised him a favor.
The head of the Wen family had nothing to worry about at the time. His only concern was the safety of his own ships on the Hui River.
Qianlong Bay was very dangerous at that time. When ships passed by this place, they would most likely capsize or encounter undercurrents, causing the ship to be destroyed and the cargo to be lost.
The head of the Wen family told the fortune teller what he wanted, and the fortune teller went to Qianlong Bay to check.
Five days later, the fortune teller returned to the Wen family and told the head of the Wen family that he had a way to prevent the Wen family's cargo ship from capsizing when passing through this section of road.
The head of the Wen family was very happy at that time and asked for solutions.
The fortune teller told him that if they wanted to offer sacrifices to the river god, they had to use women born in the yin year, yin month and yin hour to ensure that their ship could safely pass through Qianlong Bay.
After hearing this, the head of the Wen family did not believe it and put the matter behind him. Half a year later, one day, the Wen family's ship capsized in Qianlong Bay. All the cargo on board was lost, and two people died.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to the Wen family, almost bankrupting them.
The then head of the Wen family suddenly remembered what the fortune teller said, so he went to the fortune teller and asked for his help. The fortune teller agreed and ordered him to find a girl born on a yin day in a yin year of the lunar calendar.
The Wen family found the girl with great difficulty and wanted to buy her, but the family was not short of money. After several negotiations failed, the Wen family used a trick to kidnap the girl.
The fortune teller used the girl's life to sacrifice to the river god, and used the blood of the Wen family to cast the Dinghai Stone, which sank into Qianlong Bay together with the girl. Since then, the Wen family's cargo ships have never had any accidents when passing through Qianlong Bay, and because of this, the Wen family's business has become more and more prosperous.
But the girl's family was not so happy. The girl's mother became mad because of her daughter's disappearance. One day during the rain, she fell into the river and drowned.
The father of the family was deeply affected by the death of his wife and passed away the following year.
From then on, the girl's family was torn apart and destroyed because of the despicable means of the Wen family.
The man in gray and the man surnamed Li were the girl's brothers. They had been practicing in the mountains with a master since they were young. When they returned home, they found that something had happened at home.
After several rounds of inquiries, they learned the truth and began to plan revenge on the Wen family.
They also wanted to make the head of the Wen family feel the pain of losing his daughter.
After listening to the two people's stories, Bei Yutang and his group felt extremely heavy.
The head of the Wen family, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stood up and said to the two brothers, "We, the Wen family, did not steal your sister away. We bought her from your father for one thousand taels of silver."
"Shut up! You still don't dare to admit it now. It was you, the Wen family, who used despicable means to snatch Xiaoxue away." The man in gray said angrily.
The head of the Wen family did not argue with them. He said calmly, "I also know about that incident. Your sister's indenture is still in our house. If you don't believe me, I can send someone to deliver it."
The head of the Wen family sent a letter by carrier pigeon, asking for the indenture to be brought back.
