Wei Mian immediately became interested, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the details. I asked Minister Liu but he wouldn't tell me anything. He just said he wanted to discuss this matter with you in person. Uncle Master, now that you're back, maybe you can go find him."
Zheng Hao looked at Wei Mian eagerly.
He was quite interested in the flying zombie and even searched through ancient books passed down from his ancestors for it, but found nothing.
After all, Zheng Hao came from a family of Tianshi, and he knew many people of similar status to him, all from major families. However, after asking around, he still had no clue.
As for trying to find out through the previous owner of the land, that was even more impossible. He asked someone to check with the land department and found out that the land had belonged to the Zhang family for the past few decades.
The Zhang family came from a peasant background, and three generations before them were all poor farmers. As for why this family was able to own this piece of land, it can only be said that the head of the previous generation of the Zhang family had vision.
The old man of the Zhang family was called Zhang Dapang. In that difficult era, this was the greatest hope for his children. Because they had always been poor and it was a special era, the family could barely make ends meet, so Zhang Dapang joined the army.
After joining the army, Zhang Dapang worked very hard. With his clever mind and fearless spirit, he quickly became famous in the army and was promoted to the battalion level.
Later, he was injured and discharged from the army, and settled down here with the pension.
At that time, this piece of land did not belong to the village. Because Zhang Dapang had a lame leg and he didn't like the way others looked at him, he found such a remote place to build a house, get married and have children.
Later, with the reform and opening up, Zhang Dapang started breeding again. After he had some savings, he bought all this land. At that time, no one expected that Qingping would develop so fast, and this place was even facing demolition.
But no matter how foresighted the old man is, he will not be able to keep the family business if there is a prodigal son in the family.
Zhang Dapang has only one son, and he spoiled the child. He has high expectations but poor skills and cannot endure any hardship. Later, he became addicted to gambling.
Most of the family property was lost by this kid. Fatty Zhang was so angry that he dragged his lame leg to chase him and beat him. He was accidentally hit by a truck that rushed out and died soon after.
Now that there was no one to suppress him, the guy became even more outrageous. Taking advantage of the fact that the Qingping government had plans for this piece of land at that time, he simply exchanged the land for money and completely let himself go.
Even though this piece of land was transferred from private to public hands, it was re-divided and auctioned together with the adjacent land a few years later before it came to Cheng Guangyuan.
In other words, the Zhang family was not the original owner of this land. The people who originally lived nearby have aged, died, and the young people have moved away. It is not easy to investigate what happened many years ago.
But just because Zheng Hao couldn't find out doesn't mean Liu Guangyi couldn't. After all, special departments are part of the system. Although they are not known to the world, it is always much easier for them to find out something than for ordinary people.
Wei Mian once thought about asking a ghost nearby, perhaps there were some who had been dead for many years who knew something, but unfortunately he didn't find any.
Thinking of the formations and talismans carved on the outside of the black coffin, and the scene of the flying zombie mother and son hugging each other in the fire, she no longer wanted to eat the grapes.
"Call Minister Liu and ask him where he is. See him when you're free."
"good!"
Zheng Hao took the order and rushed to fight Liu Guangyi.
As soon as the other party heard that Wei Mian was back, he immediately said that he would come over in a while.
About an hour later, the people arrived.
After a few brief greetings, Liu Guangyi got straight to the point. He took out a stack of information from the file bag he brought with him.
"The previous owner of this land was the Zhang family, but they only bought it in 1980. It was ownerless for the previous 20 years."
Liu Guangyi pulled out one of the cards and handed it to Wei Mian. "I asked for some previous information from the inside and found that one family was very suspicious. It was this family—"
Wei Mian took the thin piece of paper and glanced through the contents.
The family Liu Guangyi mentioned was surnamed Bai. They were famous landlords before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but their identity as landlords was not their most powerful attribute.
It is said that Landlord Bai is just a branch of the Bai family, and the main branch has always lived in the capital and is a famous wealthy family.
If Liu Guangyi wanted to investigate this matter, he had to investigate the famous wealthy businessmen during the Kangxi period. Now that he had a target, he specifically investigated families related to the Bai family.
Because it happened so long ago, we had to consult a lot of information and look for clues in the historical documents of Taoism.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, and Liu Guangyi finally found some information. A considerable part of it came from a declining family of Feng Shui masters - the Cong family.
After he checked, he found that the Bai family was actually quite interesting.
Liu Guangyi not only investigated the Bai family during the Kangxi period, but also investigated earlier. Although there are not many official histories available for research, he can roughly infer something from some fragments of unofficial histories.
The Bai family is a family that has been passed down for many years. According to the information he has found so far, the Bai family has existed as early as the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the Bai family also made a living by doing business. Because they were quite wealthy, they were well-known in the local area.
It is said that the Bai family is very good at doing business. No matter what business it is, no matter how much others lose, as long as the Bai family does it, they will definitely make money.
At that time, many people speculated that the Bai family was actually much richer than they appeared, but they were keeping a low profile for fear of attracting the attention of those in power.
The Bai family was not always in the capital. During the years of dynasty change, the Bai family also appeared in many places, as close as the capital and as far as the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that the Bai family has always been rich.
Because of the Bai family's status as wealthy businessmen, people also noticed another family around him, the Cong family.
It is said that the Cong family is good at feng shui and divination. They were not well-known before, but gradually became famous because of the wealth of the Bai family.
People also knew that the reason why the Bai family was rich was because they chose a Feng Shui treasure land for their ancestors, so that future generations could be blessed.
After this matter became public, many people came to the Cong family for help with feng shui, but none of them could reach the level of the Bai family.
The two families had a close relationship for many years, and time slowly came to the reign of Emperor Kangxi.
At that time, the Cong family had a pair of twins, Cong Yuxing and Cong Tianqiong.
The two children showed great talent in Taoism since childhood. They had mastered the Cong family's geomancy skills thoroughly and even achieved deeper attainments based on the knowledge of their ancestors.
Afterwards, the two were sent to the Zhengyi Sect to practice, and only returned home ten years later.
During these ten years, the two of them focused on practicing spells, setting up formations, catching ghosts, etc. When they returned to the Cong family, they had surpassed the ancestors of the Cong family and became the number one in the Cong family.
Although the two are twins, their personalities are somewhat different.
To put it simply, Cong Yuxing is kinder, while Cong Tianqiong cannot be said to be evil, but it can be said that he is more unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals.
When the brother and sister were thirty years old, they were entrusted by the Bai family to readjust the feng shui of their tomb.
It was only because a huge crack appeared in that place after an earthquake, and the original Feng Shui treasure land was gone, and it became a place of financial loss.
