Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After breakfast, Zhuo Yixuan took Gong Zishang to visit Elder Jiang's residence. Gong Huanyu and Gong Ziyu went out for fun with a few attendants. Zhuo Yichen took Gong Yuanzheng and went straight to Elder Wang's medicine house.

"Grandpa Wang! Grandpa Wang!"

"You're such a naughty kid again!"

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Zhuo Yichen who pushed the door open and walked in. He was somewhat envious of him for being able to live so freely, unlike him who had to suppress himself all the time.

"Grandpa Wang! I brought my younger brother to see you! My younger brother is a big treasure! But I would like to trouble you to check his health! I don't know if living in that shabby place for so long has any impact." Zhuo Yichen pulled the hand of the old man with white hair and a youthful face sitting on the table and acted coquettishly.

"It's Young Master Yuanzheng, right? I've heard about it from the eldest young master a long time ago. Come and sit down!" The old man looked at Gong Yuanzheng lovingly, as if he were his own child.

"Yuanzheng, come and try the medicinal tea here from Grandpa Wang! Grandpa Wang is usually very stingy and only takes out a small jar every time!" Zhuo Yichen poured a full cup and handed it to Gong Yuanzheng.

Gong Yuanzheng only took a sniff and knew that this pot of medicinal tea contained a large number of precious herbs, and these herbs were all very old, having gone through at least a hundred years of wind and rain.

"You little rascal, you actually drank such excellent medicinal tea as if it were ordinary water." The old man pretended to be angry and scolded Gong Yuanzheng, but he was only saying it verbally, his eyes were full of love and tolerance.

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but think of those respected elders in their palace. Those people were notoriously biased towards Gong Ziyu, who was idle and unlearned all day long.

Could it be that his excellent memory is the reason why everyone loves him? Could it be that he deserves such pity and love just because he lost his mother at an early age? You know, whether it is Shang Palace, Jiao Palace or Zheng Palace, which palace has not experienced the pain of losing its mother?

Back then, the Lord of Shang Palace unfortunately had both legs crippled, and his wife died as a result; the Lord of Jiao Palace died heroically in a fierce battle, and his wife and the young son of Jiao Palace were also brutally slaughtered; as for Zheng Palace, almost all of his direct and collateral relatives died heroically in that brutal massacre. Only he, who was only seven years old at the time, managed to escape to the shelter passage and save his life under the selfless escort of Zheng Palace's loyal guards and maids.

After the bloody massacre, the entire palace was filled with white paper money flying all over the sky, and the miserable cries of grief were heard everywhere. However, only Yu Palace was able to remain safe and sound in this catastrophe, without any damage!

Gong Yuanzheng still remembers that the guards of Zheng Palace died one by one at Wufeng's hands, and in the end he was the only one who entered the shelter passage! So many guards and maids who had seen him day and night died on the way to escort him!

How could he let go of his hatred, how could he understand Gong Ziyu who spent his days drinking and partying outside and had no knowledge! Even if Gong Ziyu just stayed in the palace to play with cats and dogs, and never went out to have a drink and party, he would not fight with him every time he met him.

"Yuanzheng, come here, let Grandpa Wang take your pulse! This way we can see if there is anything wrong with your body. We have to eliminate any possible hidden dangers as soon as possible." Zhuo Yichen looked at Gong Yuanzheng who was suddenly stunned on the spot with concern, and said softly.

Gong Yuanzheng came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand in response: "Second brother, there's really no need. I am a doctor myself. If there are any minor problems on a daily basis, I can handle them myself." As he spoke, he unconsciously put his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to hide something.

However, the old man named Grandpa Wang smiled slightly and advised earnestly: "Yuanzheng, the saying is right, a doctor cannot treat himself. Sometimes, even a person with great medical skills may not be able to accurately judge his own condition. What's more, we doctors do not only rely on taking the pulse to diagnose the disease. We can also understand the patient's physical condition through observation, smell, and questioning. Don't you agree?" When he said this, the old man's bright eyes were like two torches, staring straight at Gong Yuanzheng who was sitting opposite him.

At this moment, Gong Yuanzheng felt as if he had been completely seen through by the old man in front of him. His heart tightened involuntarily, and even beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"It's okay. You may have just met me and don't trust me very much yet. When we get along for a long time, you will naturally trust me." Elder Wang did not force Gong Yuanzheng to take his pulse. He just stood up and looked at Zhuo Yichen, "Xiaochen! It's been a while since we went treasure hunting in the back mountain! Let's go treasure hunting in the back mountain with my brother!"

Zhuo Yichen looked at Yuan Zheng and then at Grandpa Wang, "Okay! I love going to the back hill the most. I'll pack up with my brother and we'll meet at the small gate of the back garden later!"

Zhuo Yichen pulled Gong Yuanzheng out of the medicine house.

Zhuo Yixuan led Gong Zishang slowly towards Elder Jiang's residence, and along the way he did not forget to remind her: "Elder Jiang is famous for his stubborn temper. He has always been a person who follows his own will. When he first came to our Zhuo Mansion, even my father and I were very surprised! Who would have thought that such a person would suddenly come to our family. However, after seeing his attitude towards Xiaochen, I roughly guessed that he was probably fooled by our ancestors using some rare materials."

Gong Zishang nodded as she listened to Zhuo Yixuan's story, wondering in her heart what kind of person this old Jiang was. Although she had heard of Jiang Lanming before, she knew nothing about his specific situation.

So, she asked with a little concern: "So, if we go to visit him now, will it disturb Mr. Jiang? What if we make him unhappy?"

Zhuo Yixuan smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, based on my experience, there shouldn't be any problem going there now. At this time of day, Mr. Jiang usually just gets up not long ago. Moreover, only at this time will Mr. Jiang be the easiest to talk to. If it were any other time, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to get in the door, and would have to be turned away! I've been turned away many times when I came to see him before." As he spoke, Zhuo Yixuan couldn't help but think of his past experiences of being rejected, and shook his head helplessly.

In the Hua Mansion, Hua Yu received a call from Xie Yuchen again.

"Dad! Shocking news!" As soon as Xie Yuchen got through to Shui Jing, he started talking a lot.

"Okay, Xiaohua, speak slower! I didn't hear what you just said."

"Dad! I don't know who provoked Wu Xie, but he reported himself for tomb robbing! He also set fire to the mountain and destroyed a Warring States tomb, blew up an underwater tomb, and blew up an ancient tribal tomb in the mountains. All the places he has been to were revealed by him." Hua Yu was confused after hearing what Xie Yuchen said.

"Is he crazy? Can he just say that?" Hua Yu couldn't believe her ears.

"He not only talked about himself, but also exposed several other families. The former Zhang Qishan, the Great Buddha, acted as a go-between and joined forces with several other families to rob a large tomb in Sichuan Province; the Chen family was trafficking in people in Yunnan Province, and his third uncle dug up countless tombs of all sizes; and the Huo family participated in social activities!" Xie Yuchen didn't know what to say about Wu Xie.

You say he is smart, he is a top student of Zhejiang University and has studied in Germany. You say he is not smart, he cut off his own path and dragged everyone down with him.

If my second grandfather and grandfather had not already had it, that big operation would have been just a bystander and provided financial assistance. I'm afraid that the Hong family and the Xie family were involved this time.

Because Wu Sansheng had no descendants, the Li family's property was divided up by the other families. Chen Pi's family was dead and his bones were gone, and no one knew where his only daughter had gone. The Sixth Master was executed for murder during that decade and was also gone. The Eighth Master was a feudal superstitious person. He had expected this disaster and found a Taoist temple to become a Taoist priest. The entire Huo family went abroad, leaving only a half-dead old lady in China.

The only families that still have inheritance are the Wu family and the Zhang family. The Wu family was reported by their own filial son and grandson, and they were in a state of panic, praying to the gods. The Zhang family only has Baisui Mountain left, hiding in the mountains and forests, and dare not come out.

"A family must be together! The eldest and his wife of the Wu family, who had been missing for a long time, were also found and locked up together." Xie Yuchen could only sigh that such a big family was exposed by his pampered nephew because of such a small matter.

When Xie Yuchen heard about it the day he heard about it, he ate two more bowls of rice with tears in his eyes and successfully filled himself up. Then he practiced for two more hours that day.

"Wu Xie and the others are just small fry. What about the Wang family?" Hua Yu didn't care about those people from the Nine Gates.

"The Wang family's base camp has been found, and all the people involved have been arrested, and those who should be sentenced have been sentenced. I heard that on the day of the arrest, those people were very excited, after all, one arrest was a credit." As the young master of two families, Xie Yuchen naturally had many intelligence channels.

"The Wang family is just a chess piece that can be replaced at any time. When the time comes, you will go and test them one by one. I need to know where the used phoenix blood has gone." Hua Yu did not forget that when he and his brother went to the snow-capped mountains, they made a special trip to the tribe deep in the mountains.

Hua Yu still remembers how he was so angry at those people. They were a bunch of stupid bastards who were asked to guard the gate instead of creating monsters inside.

He stayed in his cave all day drinking ice and eating snow until he became stupid. Then someone came and said that the Zhang family didn't want to guard the gate anymore, so he believed it? He gave away the Phoenix Essence Blood without even doing any investigation.
