I really want to be a cook

Shangguan Tianbao nodded: "Yes, but this is not an ancestral precept, but it started with my grandfather's generation.

According to the reason my father told me, even if our Shangguan family's children don't do business, at least they have to learn to farm the land to support themselves.

Now, I still have a third of the field contracted by myself, and I personally planted every grain of rice on it.

By the way, the harvest in the field is also one of the assessment items for us heirs, but it is not very important.

Otherwise, I will be more confident. When it comes to farming, I am a good hand. "

Shangguan Tianbao was quite confident.

He seemed to think of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly shook his head and said:

"But the most important thing now is to go back. I have been away for so long, and I don't know how the situation at home is?"

Jiang Ping twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling like he had fallen into a pit: "You have cut off all contact means these days, so you won't be afraid of being manipulated in the dark and you will be directly removed from the list.

Or are you really putting all your hopes on me? "

Shangguan Tianbao showed an embarrassed smile: "Brother also knows that masters play tricks, which is risky, and I suddenly came to you without saying goodbye, how dare you reveal your whereabouts casually.

If I dared to contact the family forces in advance, I wouldn't be surprised if a passer-by who didn't like me appeared on the road the next day.

So just, hey. "

Jiang Ping rolled his eyes: "You are so confident that I can help you turn the tide and push you up?"

"Why do I suddenly have an ominous feeling?"

Shangguan Tianbao smiled slickly again, and said shamelessly:

"Didn't my younger brother trust the elder brother? The elder brother stepped forward to help the younger brother get the heir position of the Shangguan family. It's not easy."

The corner of Jiang Ping's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and said reservedly:

"You are so discerning. It's a pity that you don't take the position of heir to the Shangguan family."

"Haha, big brother's vision is not bad, and he likes little brother."

"Each each other."

"Big brother is amazing"

While the two were exchanging business, they saw a group of people riding horses from a distance, they were master warriors wearing uniforms of guards.

"Fourth Young Master, you are finally back!"

The leading guard commander got off his horse, with white cloth strips tied around his arms, and knelt down on one knee in front of Shangguan Tianbao, with an excited expression on his face.

"My subordinates couldn't believe it when they received the news of your return."

"Fourth Young Master, something serious has happened!"

Shangguan Tianbao murmured dissatisfied: "Your Majesty just went out for a stroll, besides, I didn't leave a message for you, and Mr. Wang followed me, what could happen?

And what's going on with you?

Has any elder in the family left? "

Mr. Wang was the guard who followed Shangguan Tianbao, a veteran grand master with good strength, probably not the same as Lao Qiu.

As for Cheng Tai, the guard who had a similar temper with Lao Qiu before, he had already been eliminated because he hadn't broken through to the realm of a great master for a long time.

Of course, with his seniority and relationship with Shangguan Tianbao, even if he leaves Shangguan Tianbao, his salary will definitely not be bad. Whether he is released to become the leader of a party or recalled to the headquarters, he has entered retirement life in advance anyway.

As for the white stripe on the commander's arm, Shangguan Tianbao was not used to it.

After all, the direct descendants of the Shangguan family don't practice martial arts, and their health is at most better than ordinary people. Birth, old age, sickness and death are very normal.

However, the commander of the guards can be tied with a white cloth strip. It seems that the dead person's position is not low. I just hope that it is not the elders in the family who support him.

Hearing Shangguan Tianbao's question, the guard leader showed grief.

"Fourth Young Master, it's the master, something happened to the master!"

"My dad? What happened to him?!"

Shangguan Tianbao's heart tightened, and he felt that his eyes suddenly began to turn black.

The guard commander said in pain:

"My lord, my lord is gone!"

"what?!"

Shangguan Tianbao felt dizzy and dizzy, all the accumulated fatigue from running around in the past few days suddenly exploded under the stimulation of this news, and he fell off the horse with a swipe.

"Four young masters!"

"Four young masters!"

Everyone around screamed.

Jiang Ping grabbed Shangguan Tianbao and lifted him onto the horse. Instead of going to see the guard commander, he said to an old man in gray with a complex expression next to him:

"Old Wang, please lead the way."

"We need to get to Shangguan's house as soon as possible."

The old man in gray sighed and rode forward: "Come with me."

Watching a group of people roaring away.

The commander of the guards got out of the way and stood on one side with a deep expression on his face, without saying a word.

The warrior guard behind him was very unconvinced and said:

"Boss, they don't take you seriously like this. Shall I teach them a lesson for you?"

The guard leader shook his head:

"The Fourth Young Master has to personally invite the guests at such a critical moment, can we teach him a lesson?

Now is the troubled time in the clan, the master died strangely, you all control your mouths, what to say and what to do, you should be clear about it yourself.

We are the guards of the Shangguan family, and we protect the members of the Shangguan family. Only the future head of the Shangguan family is our master.

Carve this point into your bones, don't think about gambling for prosperity and wealth, think about your family and relatives, and don't mistake yourself.

Remember? "

Many of the guards behind him changed their complexions, and they seemed a little guilty, but they still said loudly:

"remember!"

This island named Treasure Island is not small in size, and even with the footsteps of a silver-scaled horse, it took Jiang Ping and others nearly an hour to reach the center of the island.

The center is a town, and the center of the town is the old house of Shangguan's family.

Although Shangguan Tianbao said it modestly, in the eyes of the aborigines, he was an old rich, but after so many years of operation, the Shangguan family has already controlled all aspects of the island, and their every move affects the livelihood of the entire island.

The death of the head of the Shangguan family is naturally a major event on the island.

As soon as you enter the town, you can see a piece of plain, that is, two white lanterns are hung on the door of ordinary houses.

The street was also quite depressed, with only a few people in a hurry, and it seemed that something urgent was chasing them behind. Even strangers like Jiang Ping, they just glanced at them and ignored them.

At this time, Shangguan Tianbao finally woke up leisurely, looking at Su Bai in the town, his eyes revealed a few traces of grief.

"It's not true!"

"Since you're awake, whether it's real or not, you need to see it with your own eyes. And I don't think it's that simple."

Jiang Ping said from the side.

According to the historical process of his previous life, this Shangguan Patriarch is still in the prime of his life. As the leader of the Money Gang, he will appear in public frequently in the next few years, and he is not as active as the leader of a serious and powerful force.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many players thinking of kidnapping and extorting.

But at this moment, the head of the Shangguan family died.

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the person who appeared in the previous life is fake.

The other is what accident happened in this life.

But Treasure Island is far away from the land, and has no communication with the outside world all year round. Only sea veterans trained by Shangguan's family can come here.

So even if there is a turmoil on the land at the moment, theoretically speaking, it will not affect this place.

Then the only thing left that is different from the previous life

Jiang Ping looked at Shangguan Tianbao, whose eyes were slightly red at the moment, and couldn't hide his sadness, and he was the only accidental factor.

With him as a butterfly in this life, Shangguan Tianbao has changed from being the fourth heir in his previous life, a small transparent member of the Shangguan family, to the second seed who now has great hopes of competing for the head of the family.

Even because of his current joining, it is not an exaggeration to round it up and count it as one.

Therefore, the death of the Patriarch Shangguan is very strange, and it is likely to be related to this early dispute over the heir of the Patriarch.

Thoughts turned in Jiang Ping's mind, and he deduced a possibility.

But of course he would not reveal these words casually, everything had to be seen on the scene.

Besides, when he came here this time to help support the scene, it is not his responsibility to investigate the case and find out the truth. If there is a big conspiracy that has been buried for hundreds of years, will he have to ask Shangguan Tianbao for more money at that time.

For friends, Jiang Ping is not willing to do this kind of thing.

But he can't disturb the market price. If he works more without paying more, he will be cast aside by his peers.

So the best thing to do is to just do nothing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ping immediately became a transparent person with peace of mind.

Don't talk, don't worry, just look at it.

As for the big family, there must be some moths around, otherwise who would dare to say that they are a big family.

Thinking this way, they soon arrived in front of a big house.

In front of the house, there are two stone statues of Pixiu, which are town houses, receiving money from all directions. The stone statues are vivid and have a lot of historical heritage, but at this moment there are a few white paper money floating on their heads.

As soon as the group got off their horses, a group of guards in the same uniform as the previous guards greeted them in front of the house.

Seeing Shangguan Tianbao, the leading guard was taken aback and asked:

"Fourth Young Master, isn't Commander Liu going to pick you up? Didn't we meet?"

Shangguan Tianbao had a sullen face, and instead of answering, he asked:

"Where's my father?"

The leading guard swallowed, only to feel an inexplicable pressure on the Fourth Young Master at this moment, and he was no longer the friendly spirit he was before.

He didn't dare to neglect, and replied:

"Well, the master has already been buried."

"what?!"

Shangguan Tianbao's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly became sharp, full of anger.

"I haven't come back yet, who dares to bury my father?!"

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the leading guard, and the Fourth Young Master in front of him was even more dangerous.

"Yes, it's the second young master. He said that the seven-day vigil has come, and the master's soul should rest in peace and should be buried in time.

Fourth Young Master, you are unknown and have not been notified, so I haven't asked your opinion.

There was also a quarrel in the clan about this matter. "

The leading guard looked carefully at Shangguan Tianbao, but did not dare to say the last word.

It was precisely because the fourth young master was absent, and there was no leader in the opposition, so he was suppressed by the second young master.

"I see!"

Shangguan Tianbao took a deep breath, closed his eyes to suppress all his emotions, and when he opened them again, all the impulse and anger just now had been hidden.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Ping and forced a smile:

"Brother, this matter is not that simple, I need to confirm again, so I can't entertain you first, I will let someone take you to rest first.

I'll come to you again after I investigate clearly. "

Jiang Ping shook his head: "Don't bother, you go ahead, do you want to give you a few more people?"

This time he also brought a few experts over.
