Mystery One, Toyotomi's Secret Order

No reply.At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense, and the imminent rain made everyone in the room look pale, like a Beijing opera mask that had just put on white makeup.

Zhang Wei hurriedly cast another look at Madam Ma, and Madam held Pengtiao's chest with her hand, and said in a trembling voice again: "Who is it? Who is it?"

After a long silence, a bolt from the blue broke the door to respond.

"It's me! Sunja! My dad wants me to come over and see if I can help?"

Everyone was hanging on their hearts for a long time, and suddenly they breathed out like hailstones, and smiled again in an instant.Jiang Long took a few breaths, shook his head, raised the latch, and opened the door.But he saw that Shunzi was carrying a big burden in his hands.

Jiang Long glared at the boy angrily, and said angrily, "We're doing fine. We almost... didn't call you kid... to be 'scared to death'!"

Shun Zi opened a pair of innocent big eyes and was confused. He didn't understand what Jiang Long said, but asked stupidly: "Scared to death? Uncle, who do you think is scared to death?"

"It's all right!" Zhang Wei replied in an empty voice.

Shunzi looked at the host and the two guests with a puzzled expression.

"My father said, I'm afraid that you are hungry, so I want you to bring breakfast here quickly."

Shunzi opened the bag and showed the fried dough sticks.Seeing this situation, Zhang Wei felt warm in his heart, and hurriedly took out the banknotes and handed them to Shunzi.But Shunzi shook his head and refused to accept the money even though he said nothing, and replied: "My father said that I can't accept your money. I have to go back and help."

Before he could stop the child, Shunzi turned around again, and slipped out of the gate in one swift motion.Jiang Long had no choice but to quickly close the door again.

After a sudden storm, everyone gathered up their panicked emotions.At this time, Uncle Ma breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said again: "Don't worry. The Japanese can't find out here."

The old gentleman's words aroused the curiosity of the two visitors.At this time, the aunt returned to the hall from the side room with boiling water and tea sets, and began to make tea for the three of them.

The old gentleman was sitting calmly in the middle hall, like Zhuge Kongming, who was borrowing arrows from a straw boat, was sitting in the hall, and said calmly, "Two, please have tea, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

The aunt quickly handed the sesame seed cakes and deep-fried dough sticks to Zhang Wei and Jiang Long.

"Children...leave Nanjing early and go to the rear. We are the only two old bones left in this house. Even if the devil really wants to come, there is nothing to worry about. Anyway, it will be... two old lives!"

There was no fear in the old man's tone, only a strong sense of fate, which moved people like a strong wind and strong grass.After taking a sip of tea, he continued, "I don't want you two either. I already knew about the Japanese."

Zhang Wei and Jiang Long were surprised when they heard this.

"You have been to Niu Shou Mountain, there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, right?!"

The two visitors nodded.

"The village is called Zhengjiachong. The villagers in it are the descendants of Zheng He's subordinates. They have been entrusted there to guard the tomb for more than 500 years. They have kept in touch with us for hundreds of years. The Japanese Patriarch Zheng has already sent someone to tell me what is going on there. Therefore, we know every move of the devils... No matter what bad things they want to do, it must be in vain."

Hearing what the old man said, most of the mysteries in their hearts were solved in an instant like the clouds breaking through the moon last night. No wonder the old man looked calm and unmoved.

"I'm an old man, and I had nothing to worry about. No matter what plan the devil wants to make this time, it will definitely not succeed. Earlier, when the Zheng family told the person on the other side about this matter, I already had an idea in my mind, so I put... ...The genealogy has been changed. The genealogy that the Japanese took was a fake, and even if they searched for it, they couldn’t find anything. To avoid trouble, even my old woman didn’t know about it.”

Aunt Ma heard the words and complained, she glared at Uncle Ma angrily.But the old gentleman didn't care at all, and continued to speak leisurely: "However, I still have to be careful. It's really rude to offend you two just now."

Uncle Ma is worthy of his wit and scheming, and calmly explained the reasons one by one.Only then did the two foreigners suddenly realize.

"It turns out that everything is under the control of the old man. The two of us are busy with the burden of shaving... just worry about it."

Jiang Long's anger disappeared at this moment, and he blurted out: "Yes. We call it 'The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry.'"

There was a burst of laughter in the room.

The old man paused for a while, then looked at Zhang Wei who was seated opposite him: "Dr. Zhang, this trip to China is not just for the cemetery of my ancestors, is it?"

Sure enough, the old man had seen strong winds and waves, and he hit the ground as soon as he spoke.

"The question is right, sir. I came to China this time to find some information about China's Ming Dynasty's "Inner Shipping Depot"."

The old gentleman shook his head.

"This... I'm afraid I can't help. Dr. Zhang, although I am a descendant of Zheng He and Ma Sanbao. But apart from knowing that there is such a great ancestor from the genealogy, other things are almost blank. Record. The "inner transport depot" you mentioned. That is... the affairs of the imperial palace. We ordinary people don't know much about it. I'm really sorry."

The old man replied sincerely and directly.Zhang Wei was not too surprised.Since Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing.The center of politics moves north.There are not many things left in Nanjing about the affairs of the royal family.Later, the Taiping (Heavenly Kingdom) Army, the Hunan Army, and the Japanese slaughtered the city three times.Many historical sites have long been completely unrecognizable.It's no wonder that the Japanese even used such random tricks as checking genealogy, which shows that this task is extremely difficult.But Zhang Wei understands that the Japanese nationality has always been cautious, and if there is no reliable reason, they will never act hastily.Although no important clues were found, for Zhang Wei, when he met Zheng He's descendants, this warning trip was not completely fruitless.Now that I have come to the Dragon King Temple, I simply seize the opportunity to ask all my doubts clearly.

Zhang Wei took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and organize his thoughts, and then he said, "Master, there is something I would like to ask you about, but I'm afraid it will offend and impolite."

The old man stroked his half-length gray beard, his serious face showed kindness.

"Tell me! I know everything."

"Then I'll offend... old man... there is a rumor in history that the tomb of Zheng He on Niu Shou Mountain is a tomb of clothes and a hole. I don't know if the rumor is true or not?"

"Mr. Zhang, I can answer you with certainty. The tomb is not a tomb, but the real body of the ancestors. The words were passed down from the ancestors, and the patriarch of Zheng Jiachong knew about it. I didn't expect to lie peacefully for hundreds of years. , and now call the devils to harass..."

The old man's face darkened, his eyes were full of anger and sadness: "They are all our descendants, what a disgrace! We can't even keep a cemetery for our ancestors."

Zhang Wei hurriedly comforted Uncle Ma: "Master. God has eyes. The ancestors of nobles have spirits, and the devils will not be arrogant for long."

"That's right! That's why last night... Master Three Treasures appeared to us on the mountain! We came to our door to warn us!" Jiang Long interjected.

Hearing that the eyes of the elders were wide open, he was both surprised and pleasantly surprised, so Zhang Wei told the elders about the part of seeing the moon on the mountain last night, but he deliberately concealed the part of praying for ancient jade; in order to hope that the two masters would believe him The visit of the two was a miraculous indication of the ancestors, not his personal luck.

The uncle and aunt were even more surprised and excited after listening to Zhang Wei's statement.Uncle Ma held Zhang Bin's hands tightly, his voice choked with self-reproach: "It turned out that it was the ancestors who signaled. This old man is really stupid, stupid! Offended, offended both of you!"

The old gentleman had just finished speaking, and with a thud, he knelt down and kowtowed to the two foreigners in apology.Zhang Wei and Jiang Long were taken aback, and hurried forward to help the old man up.The old man refused to obey, and he insisted on knocking his head three times before getting up as he wished.After a frank confession, Uncle Ma's attitude became more friendly and respectful, and he was full of admiration for the two visitors who kindly warned them.He continued to speak smoothly: "Mr. Zhang. What exactly is the data of the "internal transport warehouse" you mentioned? Can you tell me? Can you let me have a look?"

"Of course it's convenient. It's a pity that I didn't bring it with me when I came from a long distance. It's a key in the shape of a dragon, an ancient map and an ancient compass. The size and dimensions are about this..."

Although he didn't have much hope, Zhang Wei explained to Uncle Ma in detail as if it was happening, took out his notebook, and drew on it on the spot.Unexpectedly, this polite description actually received a shocking response.

The old man closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then spoke.

"I've never seen the dragon key or the ancient map. But... Mr. Zhang, I've seen the compass you mentioned."

Zhang Wei was overjoyed and asked eagerly.

"Master, have you met there?"

The old man blinked his eyeballs, his eyes flashed, and he said, "It's in this room!"

"In this room?"

Zhang Wei couldn't believe what he heard, it would be like winning the jackpot, and he would be as surprised and ecstatic as he was.

"Yes! I'll show it to you right now. Wait a moment, both of you."

The old man made a gesture to ask Zhang Wei and Jiang Long to stay where they were, and after getting up, he walked into the room with the help of his aunt.After a while, I took out a flat black wooden box and put it on the coffee table.As soon as Fang opened the wooden box, Zhang Wei almost cried out.Inside it was indeed the same ancient compass with a copper plate on a wooden bottom, engraved with patterns of clouds and words such as heavenly stems and earthly branches.

"That's right. That's the compass. The exact same compass."

Looking at Zhang Wei's ecstatic expression.The two elders were also deeply affected, and Uncle Ma expressed his feelings: "It seems that Mr. Zhang is really a "destined person" entrusted by his ancestors! "

Originally, he only wanted to come here with good intentions to inform the descendants of the Zheng family to avoid disaster.In the end, precious relevant clues were found by accident, and Zhang Wei and Jiang Long found it unbelievable and surprised by the coincidental development.
