Zhan Zhao waited on the roof, and saw Yin Hou with the little fourth son into the depths of the courtyard.
Because the trees in the courtyard were tall and dense, Zhanzhao was far away, and their vision was blocked, and they couldn't find Yin Hou's figure soon.
Zhao Pu was curious, "Where is this going, old man?"
"Did you find something?"
Bai Yutang also felt strange.
Zhan Zhao was even more puzzled, "Grandpa has always disliked being nosy, so I guess he found some clues that he found interesting." ” Let's say that in the courtyard, the little fourth son ran a few steps on the cobblestone path, and stood and stared at a rare orchid.
While walking, I also looked at the layout of the courtyard and the flowers and plants in the courtyard, all of which revealed an elegant and noble taste, and those carefully planted potted plants were even rarer.
Walking in the courtyard, Yin Hou inexplicably had an illusion, especially those pots of orchids are rare species, and there is a feeling of a royal garden.
The little fourth son looked fresh, pointed to one of the strange flowers and asked, "Yin Yin, what kind of flower is this?"
For flowers and plants, Xiao Sizi knows more than ordinary adults, but he has never even seen these strange flowers in books.
Yin Hou said, "This kind of flower is called a blue house, because it looks like a blue house. ” "Really" Xiao Sizi took a closer look, those few small blue flowers hung on a long cyan stem, the shape of the flowers was pointed up and down, it really looked like a lot of blue small houses.
Xiao Sizi pointed to a pot behind him, "Is that a banyan tree different from the common one?"
"That's the oil banyan."
"This tree is about sixty or seventy years old. ” The little fourth son opened his mouth wide, "Is it still so small after so many years?"
Yin Hou nodded, "The oil banyan is one of the longest-lived trees, it can live for thousands of years, and the royal family of the previous dynasty especially liked it, in my hometown, this kind of tree is called the clan tree" The fourth son of the "clan tree" looked up at Yin Hou.
"It means that the family is passed down from generation to generation."
Yin Hou said in a low voice.
"Where is Yin Yin's hometown?"
asked the fourth son curiously, "Isn't it in Changzhou Mansion?"
Yin Hou smiled slightly, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "My stupid son-in-law is from Changzhou Mansion." ” The fourth child wanted to ask something, but he heard a "click, click" sound not far away.
Yin Hou looked in the direction of a nan tree in front of him.
Xiao Sizi felt that this voice seemed to be a little familiar, where had he heard it?
As the voice grew clearer, an old woman, on crutches, walked unhurriedly down the path behind the tree.
When the little fourth son saw the old lady, he was stunned for a moment and immediately remembered that he and Bai Yutang came back from Yaojia Village that day, and he met the old lady halfway through.
Xiao Sizi is not stupid, Bai Yutang wanted to find this old woman that day, but she walked too fast and didn't catch up, this person and the person in the portrait have common characteristics, so it may be a relative Xiao Sizi stared at the old lady with wide eyes, and when he saw that the old lady was also looking at him, he hid behind Yin Hou and continued to look at the hem of Yin Hou's clothes.
The old woman saw the little fourth son at a glance and smiled slightly, "We are quite fated." ” Yin Hou looked at the old woman, a little surprised, first of all, Yin Hou was sure that he didn't know her, and he didn't have any impression of this face and dress.
Secondly, Yin Hou realized that this old woman's internal strength was quite deep, and she was not inferior to Jiu Niang's level, so why did she have such a strong martial arts Finally, Yin Hou noticed the shawl on the old woman's shoulder.
It was a gray shawl, it looked a little shabby, it should be some years old, although the shawl was broken, the material was of the highest quality, plus these rare flowers, Yin Hou felt that this old woman might have been born noble, even if it was not noble, it must be extremely rich The old woman looked at the little fourth son for a while, and then raised her head to look at Yin Hou.
At the moment when he saw Yin Hou, the old man was slightly stunned, then frowned and looked carefully.
Yin Hou observed from her expression, but he didn't know himself The little fourth son also raised his face to look at Yin Hou, did they know each other?
Yin Hou was troubled, after all, he had lived for more than a hundred years, and he had seen countless people, and there were few people like him and Tianzun who were not old, if they had met seventy or eighty years ago, it would be difficult to ensure that people would recognize themselves when they were old, and they would not recognize others.
The old woman waited for a long time, withdrew her gaze, walked to a wicker chair on crutches, and pushed a napping cat on the rattan chair.
The cat jumped off the chair with a "meow", stretched its waist, and slowly paced in the direction of Xiao Sizi and Yin Hou.
The old lady sat on the wicker chair, smiled, and shook her head, "I can see each other again in my lifetime." ” Yin Hou raised his eyebrows slightly, and he really knew it, and he couldn't remember it.
The little fourth son looked up at Yin Hou, and Yin Hou looked at him with a very funny look, as if he was saying that Zunzun said that you have a lot of rotten peach blossoms Yin Hou was a little speechless.
The old lady put her cane aside, beckoned to the little four, and said to the distance, "Go and get some refreshments." ” After a while, a little girl ran over with a tea tray, put it on the coffee table, looked at the little fourth son, and ran away again.
Yin Hou noticed that the little girl's kung fu was not weak, her age and internal strength felt similar to Chenxing'er's crescent moon, and he couldn't help but glance at the old woman again Yin Hou suddenly felt that he might need the old ghost to come over and help recognize people, and when he thought that he also wanted to find Tianzun to help recognize people, Yin Hou also felt speechless.
On the roof in the distance, Zhan Zhao scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.
Bai Yutang saw that he was swaying left and right in a hurry, so he grabbed him, "Don't shake it, if you shake it again, the roof will collapse." ” Zhao Pu nodded behind him, and the two in front of him were no longer there Zhan Zhao was anxious, "Grandpa seems to be talking to someone, and he can't see clearly, but he is blocked by a tree" The old lady beckoned the little fourth son to come over for tea and snacks.
The little fourth son ran over and sat down on the coffee table.
The old lady gave him thin oranges.
The fourth son asked her, "Mother-in-law, do you know you?"
The old lady smiled slightly, glanced at Yin Hou, and said, "Well, he saved my life, but he definitely doesn't remember me." ” Yin Hou was even more puzzled that he had saved her life "By the way," the old lady looked at Yin Hou and asked, "What about the girl who wants to stand up for you even if she doesn't want to die?"
Yin Hou was slightly stunned, looked at the old woman, for a long time, and said, "The inner person has passed away." ” The old lady nodded lightly and asked, "Do you have any children?"
Yin Hou nodded, "Daughter and grandson." ” "Very good."

The old lady seemed to be very pleased, and changed her words and asked, "Do you know where those people in the Valley of Lost Souls went back then?"
Yin Hou frowned, "It's been more than sixty years ago in the Valley of Lost Souls, I saw you at that time" "Hmm."
The old woman nodded, "My surname is Cui." ” Yin Hou was stunned, "You are Cui Hai's descendant" "Cui Hai is my grandfather."
The old woman said, "My name is Cui Miao, do you remember?"
Yin Hou looked at her for a moment and nodded, "Oh, probably." ” The little fourth son was even more curious.
The old woman stuffed a peeled orange into his hand and said to her, "I was fourteen years old that year, and my grandfather was too rich and capable, and for various reasons, he brought a catastrophe of destruction, and the people of the rivers and lakes wanted to kill us all." ” The little fourth son opened his mouth wide with the orange.
"Our whole family of more than 100 people is hiding at the bottom of the Valley of Lost Souls and is besieged."
The old woman continued, but there was not much expression on her face, and she could not see any sadness or anger, "Almost all of them are dead, and we are a few children left, and then he came and saved our lives."
The old woman said, pointing to Yin Hou, "It's clear that you don't agree with my grandfather, you say it's not funny, and in the end it's your friends who want to kill you, but it's your enemies who save you." ” After all, the fourth son is still young, and he has been affected to a certain extent, especially when the old woman said in a flat tone, her family has more than 100 people, and only a few children are left dead "You came to Kaifeng to take revenge," Yin Hou asked.
The old woman was stunned, seemed to think it was funny, shook her head, and asked Yin Hou, "If I want revenge, I won't wait until today, do you believe in karma?"
Yin Hou didn't speak.
"Those people in the Valley of Lost Souls were buried alive later."
The old woman's tone was still flat.
It was the first time that Yin Hou had heard of it, "buried alive" "Hmm," the old woman nodded, "It's really interesting to say, when you went to Chanyueling, they ambushed you in Shanyin and wanted to sneak attack you, but it rained for a long time before that, and you suddenly fought with people in the front mountain." ” Yin Hou thought for a while and shook his head, "It's not me who fights with people, it's Tianzun and Kong Yue who fight, Kong Yue was kicked into the mountain wall by that old ghost, and half of the mountain collapsed." ” The old woman smiled, "After half of the mountain collapsed, the mountain completely sank, and the yin side of the mountain sank halfway, and those people were buried inside." ” Yin Hou felt a little speechless inexplicably, Tianzun's kick actually helped the Cui family avenge the destruction of the door.
"After I heard about this, I wanted to find out what happened to the enemy's family, guess what I saw when I went to Zen Yueling," the old woman asked with a smile.
Yin Hou frowned.
"The mountain has collapsed, and there are a lot of tombstones planted there, as well as incense wax paper money, and orphans and widows are crying and worshipping."
The old woman sighed, "In the end, their daughters, like my family's daughters, are all in such a fate, what revenge can they take revenge?"
Yin Hou walked to the side and sat down, but did not speak.
"Did Grandpa sit down?"
In the distance, Zhan Zhao tilted his head, sticking to the roof tiles as much as possible, and finally saw half of Yin Hou's figure, "Who is he talking to?"
Bai Yutang held his chin, but he looked at the other end, in the house over there, Tianzun didn't know if it was to help Yin Hou delay time, he had already bought all the red jade in their store, and he was trying to pick white jade at this time.
And Ayi's aunt kept looking out.
Xi Gulu was done with convenience, and was sitting on a stone bench in front of the thatched house yawning, thinking about why the little fourth son was so slow, whether it was constipation On the roof, Zhan Zhao leaned forward, as if he wanted to go over, "I can't wait" It's just that before he jumped out of the roof, the back of his neck was grabbed by Bai Yutang.
"Aren't you able to see Yin Hou" Bai Yutang held down the frizzy cat, "Grandpa is so reliable, you're still afraid that people will bully him."
Zhanzhao stretched out his hand and grabbed the roof tiles, "stabbing and stinging".
Zhao Pu covered his ears, and Bai Yutang was helpless, what a cat After listening to the old woman's words, Yin Hou probably had a certain understanding of the ins and outs, and asked, "Then what are you doing in Kaifeng?"
"Let's do business."
The old woman smiled meaningfully, "Huangshi jade shop." ” Yin waited, no wonder it was called "Huangshi" jade shop.
"Mother-in-law."
Xiao Sizi put aside the half-eaten oranges, took out an image from his purse and handed it over, and asked, "Is this person your relative?"
The old woman took the picture, opened it and saw that there was still some wall ash on the back of the paper, and on the paper was the picture she had seen that day.
The old woman asked the little fourth son, "This is taken down from the wall, you kid still carry this picture with you, you know this person" "I don't know, but this one fell off the wall."
Xiao Sizi picked it up by the wall just now, and felt that the portrait would be trampled on if it was thrown on the ground, so he put it in his purse and prepared to go home to find the paste and paste it again.
The old woman smiled slightly, reached out and touched the head of the little fourth son, and said in a low voice, "I saw you with that young man that day, that young man's kung fu is good, and I don't want to cause trouble, so I didn't say anything that this person may indeed be from my family, but I'm not sure." ” "He is a descendant of the Cui family," Yin Hou asked.
"Maybe."
The old lady took a sip of the teacup slowly, "When a group of orphans and widows of ours were dispersed when they were in exile, they never reunited.
When I saw that portrait in the city that day, I felt like the Cui family thought that my Cui family was really ill-fated, and the descendants suffered disasters at a young age, and I was just a little emotional. ” Yin Hou nodded, got up, and beckoned to the little fourth son.
The little fourth son was about to put away the portrait, and the old woman asked, "Is it okay for me?"
The little fourth son nodded, gave the portrait to the old lady, and ran back to hold Yin Hou's hand.
Yin Hou said to the old woman, "Excuse me."
He took the little fourth son and left.
The old woman sighed softly as she watched Yin Hou leave the courtyard.
Yin Hou walked out of the courtyard, called Xigulu, who was confused at the door of the thatched house, and came to the front.
At this time, Tianzun is about to buy out other people's jade shops, and this time he was drinking tea and saw Yin Hou coming back, Tianzun held the teacup and glared at him too slowly, old ghost.

Yin Hou glanced at him and said faintly, "This business belongs to Cui Hai's family." ” "Poof" Tianzun squirted out a sip of tea.
Ayi's aunt looked up at Yin Hou in surprise, and then at Tianzun.
On the opposite roof, Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What did grandpa say?"
Zhan Zhao also wondered, "Tianzun's tea is so completely sprayed" Zhao Pu held his chin and yawned on the side.
Tianzun jumped up on the spot and shook his hand, "Oh, I'm going to die, my hand is going to rot."
The young woman was surprised.
Tianzun ran out with his disgusted face, muttering as he ran, "Wash your hands, wash your hands" Xiao Sizi and Xi Gulu glanced at each other, Tianzun, what's wrong, a white shadow flashed, and there was it The young woman looked at Yin Hou with her mouth open.
Yin Hou reached out and picked up the ring that Tianzun showed him just now, and said, "It's enough to buy this one." ” "Oh," the young woman nodded.
When Yin Hou saw her holding a jade ring in a brocade box, he asked, "It doesn't matter if you sell funeral jade like this?"
The young woman was slightly stunned, and then smiled faintly, "This is originally my Cui family's thing."
Yin Hou nodded, didn't say anything, picked up the money bag that Tianzun was still on the table, drew the silver to pay, took the jade ring, took the little fourth son and Xi Gulu, and left the Huangshi jade shop.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly jumped down.
Zhao Pu stood up and stretched, and just wanted to follow, he felt that there seemed to be a line of sight in the distance and turned his face to look, but he didn't find anyone.
The Nine Princes touched their chins, and someone was secretly watching, and they were cautious Zhan Zhao ran up and grabbed Yin Hou.
Bai Yutang looked forward, his master had long since disappeared, what was the stimulus Yin Hou took the jade ring to Zhanzhao, and returned the money bag to Bai Yutang, while saying to Bai Yutang, "You, your master must beat you when you go back." ” Bai Yutang was taken aback.
Zhan Zhao was also taken aback, and quickly pulled Bai Yutang to his side and asked Yin Hou, "What's the situation?"
"It's a long story, have you heard of Cui Hai?"
asked Yin Hou.
"Cui Hai" Zhanzhao felt familiar.
Bai Yutang also seemed to have heard of it.
Zhao Pu leaned over and asked, "The first knife of the royal family" Yin Hou nodded.
Zhanzhao raised his eyebrows, "Jianghu people" Bai Yutang also touched his chin for the first time Zhao Pu sighed twice, "His knife is not a murderous knife, but a carving knife." ” "Carving" Zhanzhao was slightly stunned, and remembered, "Ah, there is a carved jade wall in the palace, and the signature is Cui Hai." ” Bai Yutang also remembered, "Cui Hai seems to have heard Bai Fu say that Cui Jiayu is more valuable or something." ” "Isn't the urging family dead?"
Zhao Pu asked, "There is still a mouth" Yin Hou nodded and said to Bai Yutang, "The old woman you met that day is Cui Hai's granddaughter. ” Bai Yutang was surprised that his identity was asked On the side, the little fourth son was still holding half an orange in his hand, and nodded at Bai Yutang.
"What's going on with that Tianzun," Zhan Zhao was curious.
Yin Hou couldn't cry or laugh, "Cui Hai is the most loyal royal family in his life, all his works, jade carvings, stone carvings, and wood carvings are made for one person, do you know who it is?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other.
Zhao Pu pouted, "Li Yu" Bai Yutang knew that the last thing his master wanted to see in his life was Li Yu, usually when he bought antiques, if someone recommended something that Li Yu had used to him, he would throw it away, and he didn't lose much money for this.
Zhao Pu felt strange and asked, "When the Cui family was wiped out, it was looted at the same time, and his descendants still have so many jade tools in their hands to open a jade shop."
Bai Yutang thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that you are selling burial jade?"
"Burial Jade" Zhan Zhao is curious.
Bai Yutang briefly described it, "Excavated from the grave." ” Zhan Zhao gasped, "Tomb robbery" Yin Hou shook his head and said, "It's not a tomb robbery, you think, this was originally the Cui family's thing, it was snatched away by the enemy back then, and then buried with it."
The descendants of the Cui family went to the enemy's grave to dig things out, which is also called the return of things to the original owner, and whether to sell them or not is the freedom of the Cui family. ” Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "It's just like that, let's not talk about that, does the jade shop have anything to do with this case, isn't the old lady Cui very similar to the nameless corpse?"
She said she also thought it might be a relative, so she looked at the portrait a few more times.
Yin waited for a hand.
"Then why are they targeting the Mei family?"
Zhan Zhao asked again.
Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu both reminded him, "Aren't their Cui family the most loyal to the Li family, they should all hate it if they are related to the Zhao royal family."
Zhao Pu shook his head vigorously, "Remind me not to go to his door as much as possible." ” "I talked for a long time" Zhan Zhao was deflated, "Could it be that the direction is wrong, this case has nothing to do with Huangshi Jade Shop" "Could they have done the theft of the Mei family's birthday gift?"
Bai Yutang asked, "Could it be that the jade carving was also from Cui Hai's hand back then?"
"That's really not true."
Zhao Pu said, "Even if they stole it, who to reason with the matter of going to the jade originally belonged to the Cui family, then Mei Lie got it from wherever it was stolen, and now that they have stolen it, are they still cheeky to know that my ancestors have even robbed the Li family." ” Zhan Zhao looks at the sky, where is this?
"It's not completely unrewarding."
Bai Yutang reminded, "At least I know that the male corpse in the well is the queen of the Cui family." ” "Will the Cui family also be craftsmen in the future" Zhan Zhao asked, "On the list of people who enter and leave the palace given by the Taishi, there is indeed a record of the entry and exit of craftsmen, and every year there are different places in the palace that need to be repaired, and there are more jobs such as carving, and there may be someone surnamed Cui." ” Everyone nodded that it was a clue, and they would find out the identity of the deceased first.
Zhanzhao and they returned to Kaifeng Mansion, and at this time, in the Huangshi jade shop, Cui Miao was sitting under the Nan tree in a daze.
Ayi walked in, "Master, who came here just now?"

Cui Miao came back to his senses, looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Old man." ” "Shall we continue, then?"
asked Ayi.
Cui Miao regained that indifferent look and nodded, "Of course we have to continue." ”:
