Fang Yuan introduced everyone to Luo Xiaoyao one by one after another, and then looked around and said, "The Young Master has just returned and is not familiar with the affairs in the Pavilion. If the Young Master is confused about the affairs in your post in the future, you should explain in detail and not hide it." Everyone stood up and bowed and said that it was.

Luo Xiaoyao signaled everyone to sit down. Although he was young, his personality was quite steadfast. In Taibai Academy, the elders in the courtyard were often concerned about rules. Although he did not like to be in charge of affairs in the cabinet at this time, he knew that as time went by, he would inevitably be in contact in the future. He said, "Xiaoyao has little experience. I hope that all the elders will give you more advice. When the cabinet master goes out, everything will be done according to the previous rules."

At this time, a sound of "Miss, be careful..." came from outside, followed by a crisp and pleasant voice of "Where is Brother Xiaoyao?". A little girl appeared at the door of the hall, staring at Shuiling and Youyou's Godly eyes at Luo Xiaoyao on the main seat for a while, laughed, crossed the threshold, ran to Luo Xiaoyao, looked up at Luo Xiaoyao and asked, "Brother Xiaoyao?"

Luo Xiaoyao looked at the lively and cute little girl and smiled, "You are Xiao Mingzhu, right?" Luo Mingzhu nodded, and the princess laughed, tiptoed, and wanted to climb on Luo Xiaoyao's legs.

Everyone laughed when they saw this. Fang Yuan waved his hand to the maid at the entrance of the hall and signaled her to retreat first. He turned around and smiled at Luo Xiaoyao, "Miss Mingzhu is here, and the discussions usually have to be suspended, haha... There is no big deal to discuss today. The young master can take Xiao Mingzhu to the manor for a tour."

Luo Xiaoyao has returned yesterday and has not met Yan to greet him. After hearing Fang Yuan's words, he nodded and said yes. He took Luo Mingzhu out of the conference hall, and walked with Luo Mingzhu while walking, "Little Mingzhu, how do you know that your brother is in the conference hall?"

Luo Mingzhu raised her face and said, "Brother Xiaoyao, guess?"

Luo Xiaoyao squatted down, looked at Luo Mingzhu's cute little face and smiled, "Brother can't guess, Xiao Mingzhu tells it to her brother."

Luo Mingzhu chuckled: "I really can't guess it? Hehehe, don't tell my dad how I guessed it, okay?"

"Okay, brother agrees to Mingzhu." Luo Xiaoyao nodded at Luo Mingzhu with a mysterious appearance on his face.

Luo Mingzhu turned her head and looked around. Seeing two maids standing not far away, she leaned down at Luo Xiaoyao's ear and whispered: "When Dad was in the village, every time I heard a golden sound, I would find him in this hall." After saying that, the princess smiled and looked very proud.

It turns out that every time there is something to discuss in the village, he would summon everyone to the conference hall. When Luo Hanshui was in the village, he naturally had to preside over the conference hall. Luo Mingzhu also went to the conference hall to find him with the sound of the gold.

Last night, when Luo Xiaoyao returned to the village, Luo Mingzhu wanted to clamor for Luo Xiaoyao to go. Yan was afraid of disturbing Luo Xiaoyao's rest, so he refused to allow it. In the morning, Luo Xiaoyao went to Beishan to worship his deceased mother again, but Luo Mingzhu couldn't find him for a while. When she heard the sound of gold, she also guessed that Luo Xiaoyao was in the conference hall.

Luo Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Mingzhu is so smart, haha... where can I go to play?"

Luo Mingzhu rolled her black eyes: "Is it okay to go to the mountain to catch birds?"

Luo Xiaoyao remembered yesterday that his father Luo Hanshui said that this sister liked to fly over the eaves and walls, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay." He stood up and led Luo Mingzhu out of the left courtyard gate of the atrium, trying to get from the side door of the courtyard to go up the mountain.

But in the garden more than 20 feet away from the courtyard gate, a woman in her thirties walked up the wooden corridor of the lake pond. She was wearing a light yellow double-breasted shirt and skirt, with her hair combed and covered with light makeup, elegant and generous, followed by two maids, who were the wife Yan, whom Luo Hanshui continued to marry.

The Yan family operates medicinal materials and is very rich. Although they are not a great beauty, they are considered to be middle-aged and superior. They have been proficient in piano, poetry, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and have a high vision. They are not attracted to ordinary officials, famous scholars and talented men, and even to the age of twenty, they are still waiting to marry into the boudoir. Later, by the introduction of the Luoyang branch office of Tongbao Pavilion, they married Luo Hanshui, who was ten years older than her, who was married to Fengshen, who was ten years older than her.

Yan loved Luo Xiaoyao very much, but unfortunately, Luo Xiaoyao, who lost his mother, only came back once since she married Luo Hanshui. However, when she went to Luo Yang to visit Luo Xiaoyao with Luo Hanshui several times. Luo Xiaoyao saw Yan coming, and hurriedly bowed to the salute: "Xiaoyao has seen his aunt."

Yan nodded and smiled: "I heard your father say you're back yesterday. I thought the family could have a family dinner together at night... I thought your father had something important to go out, so don't take it to heart."

Yan knew that Luo Hanshui loved Luo Xiaoyao very much. If it were not for urgent matters, he would not have gone out to do something when Luo Xiaoyao, who had been away from home for many years, had just returned. He was afraid that Luo Xiaoyao would be sad, so he said this.

"Xiaoyao knows, aunt doesn't have to worry."

"Yesterday my mother said that when my father comes back, she will cook some good dishes for Brother Xiaoyao to taste." Luo Mingzhu, who was beside her, said crisply.

Luo Xiaoyao smiled and bowed, "Thank you, aunt, Mingzhu wants to go up the mountain to have a trip, Xiaoyao will leave first."

"Goodbye Mom." Luo Mingzhu waved her hand with a smile, and pulled Luo Xiaoyao to the side door.

Yan looked at the two of them and sighed secretly in his heart. After all, he was not a biological mother and son. Compared with Luo Mingzhu, Luo Xiaoyao and her were less natural and friendly.

Luo Xiaoyao has been back for nearly ten days. In addition to following Fang Yuan to learn about the affairs of the local branch offices, he mostly played with Luo Mingzhu. In the morning of that day, Luo Mingzhu rarely came to find Luo Xiaoyao to catch birds. When Luo Xiaoyao was surprised, he saw Fang Yuan laughing and bringing an arrow guard leader from the village in, saying with a smile: "Young master, do you have time to go to a place to take a look with his subordinates?"

Seeing his leisurely expression, Luo Xiaoyao also smiled and said, "Master Fang, but what are some good places to introduce to him?"

Fang Yuan smiled: "I entered the pavilion and only felt that gold, silver and jewelry were the best beauty in the world, haha..."

Luo Xiaoyao was a little disappointed, "Is it related to money?"

Fang Yuan nodded: "Young Master, please come with me."

Then he signaled the leader of the eagle guard to lead the way, and walked out of the side door of the atrium, and went to the garden on the left side of the village, and entered a rockery with green bamboos planted around. The rockery was more than meter high, and there was a five-foot square stone in the cave. Fang Yuan signaled Luo Xiaoyao to stand in the middle of the stone with him, and shouted to the eagle guard in the bamboo forest outside the rockery: "It can be opened."

I thought it was the leader of the Eagle Guard who moved the mechanism outside. As soon as Fang Yuan finished speaking, Luo Xiaoyao heard a "click, click, click" sound, but he felt the stones under his feet slowly descending. When they fell to a depth of one meter, they stopped. With the sunlight transmitted from above, Luo Xiaoyao saw an underground passage five or six feet wide and seven feet high. He smelled a strong smell of earth in his nose. He thought that no one had come in for a long time.

Fang Yuan lit the torch on the wall of the passage and led Luo Xiaoyao forward, "The tunnel only has a curve in front. After turning, it leads to the abdomen of the small hill on the side of the village."

After about a cup of tea, they turned right and walked three feet away, and arrived in front of a stone gate. Fang Yuan raised his hand and placed a place on the wall of the cave next to the stone gate. After pressing for a while, the stone gate slowly opened. With the light of the torch in Fang Yuan's hand, Luo Xiaoyao saw that the cave, which was nearly ten feet wide and six or seven feet deep, was filled with boxes of different sizes.

Fang Yuan opened one casually, and Luo Xiaoyao saw the whole box of jewelry and goldware. Fang Yuan sighed and said, "These property are all ownerless things. Some have been in this cave for decades. When it is thirty years since no one claims it, even if it is the property of this pavilion, hey, half of these property were exchanged for the old pavilion master's life back then..."

"Grandpa?" Luo Xiaoyao asked in surprise.

Fang Yuan nodded: "Since its founding, Tongbao Pavilion has set rules. If no one collects the property stored in this Pavilion within thirty years, it is the property of this Pavilion. However, if the receipt is lost within the period, it can be collected in code words."

"Code word?" Luo Xiaoyao was puzzled for a moment.

Fang Yuan explained: "If you store property in this cabinet, you will have two depositary notes, one will take away by the silver owner and the other will keep. The depositary notes have poems written in special materials on this cabinet. It is not visible on the outside. If the silver owner gets the depositary notes, there will be code words. When you take the silver, you must also put the code words hidden on the depositary notes in the right way. This is to prevent the depositary notes from being stolen by evil people. The reason why this cabinet has many carrier pigeons to convey information is to verify the reserved bills in the place where the depositary notes are."

Then I opened a box, but it was all in the deposit ticket, which should be the bottom ticket mentioned by Fang Yuan.

"During Zhenming, the property of Zhenzhou branch pavilion was looted by the officers and soldiers who captured the city. The old pavilion master broke into the camp of King Li Cunxu alone and demanded the robbery of silver. The guards in the Lian Zhan army worshiped more than a dozen people. Li Cunxu admired the old pavilion master's martial arts and courage, so he imposed military laws on the leader who led the robbery and returned the silver to our pavilion."

"It's a pity that the old Pavilion Master was injured in that battle and was unable to enter the realm of the great success of the elixir. When you were three years old, you passed away... Most of the treasures in these boxes were stored when Zhenzhou City was destroyed. Many silver masters thought they were killed in wars... Alas."

Luo Xiaoyao knew the cause of his grandfather's death at this time. He had also inquired about Wu Wangbo at Taibai Academy. But Wu Wangbo finally did not tell Luo Xiaoyao, his grandfather's real cause of his grandfather's death.

When Grandpa Luo Xiaoyao went alone to ask for the robbed silver, Wu Wangbo was also in Li Cunxu's army (Wu Wangbo was worshipped by Li Cunxu's army). Although he did not fight side by side with his senior brother, he also helped his senior brother plead with Li Cunxu. He was worried about his senior brother's soul and died at the age of 60, and he was always worried.

Fang Yuan stared at the box for a moment and smiled and said, "When the Pavilion Master comes back, these unowned property will be sent to Zhenzhou to provide refugees to the local refugees, which can be regarded as fulfilling the old Pavilion Master's wish."

Luo Xiaoyao felt a little touched, and immediately nodded and responded: "Okay, then Xiaoyao will go to fulfill his wish for grandpa."

"This is what I mean by bringing the young master here, haha... I ask for my order to go with you."

In the 20th year, Luo Xiaoyao's grandfather mentioned to Fang Yuan that this batch of unowned money would be sent to Zhenzhou to rescue and relieve the victims who were suffering from the war after the 30th year. Fang Yuan had always kept it in mind. The next year had come, so he wanted to fulfill his wishes for the old Pavilion Master, so he brought Luo Xiaoyao here to tell the past.

When the two of them left the secret passage and returned to the atrium hall, they saw an urgent arrow guard waiting on the hall porch. Seeing Fang Yuan and Luo Xiaoyao coming, they hurriedly welcomed the general and handed the small bamboo tube in their hand to Fang Yuan and said, "I have met the young master, the chief officer, this is an urgent message from the Zhenzhou branch."

Fang Yuan looked at the red paint dots on the small bamboo tube and frowned and said, "It's been decades, and there has never been a red paint urgent piece... Is it strange?"

He had crushed the sealing wax and took out the paper roll. When he opened it, his face suddenly changed. His fingers were trembling. Luo Xiaoyao, who was beside him, felt a tight heart. He hurriedly took the note and saw that it read: Elder Liang was killed and the pavilion master was seriously injured. He quickly dispatched the elders of each branch to come.

Luo Xiaoyao was shocked and almost couldn't stand. Fang Yuan seemed to be stunned and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible..."

The leader of the Eagle Guard beside him didn't know what happened, but when he saw the two of them being in a state of dismay, he was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Young Master, the boss, the boss..."

Fang Yuan and Luo Xiaoyao woke up at this moment. The two looked at each other and walked into the hall. Fang Yuan let out a sigh and said to Jianwei: "Su Feiying sent a letter to the nine elders of the branch pavilion, and then they rushed to the Zhenzhou branch pavilion after seeing the letter."

The leader of the Eagle Guard knew something big had happened and hurriedly said, "As for your order." Just when he was about to turn around, he heard Luo Xiaoyao shouting, "No, come quickly with the pen and paper."

Fang Yuan and the Eagle Guard were stunned, but Luo Xiaoyao said again: "You might as well go..."

The Eagle Guard came back to his senses and ran away. Luo Xiaoyao calmed down and said slowly: "Dad, Elder Weng, and Elder Liang are all in the realm of holding elixirs. There should be few people in the world who can hurt the three of them and join forces. This is a matter of necessity."

Fang Yuan also calmed down at this time. Although Xin didn't know what Luo Hanshui was going here, and even more so, Weng Mu was walking with him. However, when he heard Luo Xiaoyao's tone, he nodded when he heard this.

At this time, the arc guard had already taken the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Luo Xiaoyao wrote a quick pen on the coffee table. After the ink traces were broken, he handed it to the Yingwei: "So quickly send it to the Fengxiang Mansion branch pavilion, send it to Taibaishan Academy, and hand it to our Wushima or Master Hua, just in case, send people to Taibaishan to inform him... and said that you would ask Master Wushima and Master Hua to the Zhenzhou branch pavilion."

"I'm rushing there myself." The leader of the Eagle Guard hurriedly, and after he finished speaking, he ran out quickly.

Luo Xiaoyao looked at Fang Yuan, frowned, and thought for a moment: "Don't mention this to anyone in the Pavilion, including his wife..."

Seeing that he was so calm, Fang Yuan secretly admired him. Before he could answer, he heard Luo Xiaoyao say, "Master Fang can arrange a man to manage the affairs of the cabinet for the time being. I will go to Zhenzhou immediately and give instructions. If the wife asks... I will say, Master Fang, you escort me to Taibai Academy and you will return in a few days."

The matter is amazing now, so I can only lie to avoid worrying that Yan and Luo Mingzhu are nearly two thousand miles apart. Luo Xiaoyao and Fang Yuan made a brief arrangement to find a horse that traveled thousands of miles a day on the village. They rushed to the Zhenzhou branch after eighteen hours.

The manager of the branch pavilion saw Luo Xiaoyao and Fang Yuan coming, and hurriedly took the two to the other courtyard in the pavilion. Luo and Fang entered the secret room of the other courtyard, but saw Weng Mu sitting cross-legged on the underground cushion with pale faces, as if he was much older.

There was a bed not far from Weng Mu. Luo Hanshui, who was lying on the bed, whose face was pale and haggard, was a world apart from his usual handsomeness. Fang Yuan and Luo Xiaoyao were both shocked. The two of them rushed forward to check, but saw Luo Hanshui's eyes closed and his breath was slow and fast, and they thought they had suffered severe internal injuries.

Fang Yuan then reached out to take his pulse. Even though he had a good understanding, his cultivation level had reached the level of the embrace pill, and he could not see the reason for Luo Hanshui's injury. He turned around and shook his head at the anxious Luo Xiaoyao. Luo Xiaoyao suddenly turned pale and stared at Luo Hanshui for a moment. His feet softened, and he knelt beside the bed, his lips trembled. After a long time, he called hoarsely: "Father..."

Fang Yuan took a deep breath in shock, calmed down, walked towards Weng Mu who was meditating and meditating. At this time, Fang Zi realized that Weng Mu's eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be unaware of him and Luo Xiaoyao's arrival. He was shocked and looked at Manager Zhan beside him, "Manager Zhan, what's wrong with Elder Weng? Why did he get hurt? This, what's going on?"

Manager Zhan hurriedly approached him and whispered: "Elder Weng seems to be injured. During these two or three days, he is always out of control. It is not until the ugly time... it will return to normal."

"What?" Fang Yuan was shocked.

Luo Xiaoyao was also shocked when he heard this. He quickly got up to Weng Mu. He saw Weng Mu with his eyes slightly closed, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, as if he was struggling in a dream, and his breath was sometimes anxious and sometimes slow.

The two of them were just anxious about Luo Hanshui. They had not greeted Weng Mu first. Seeing this strange situation, they were even more shocked. In a frightened state, Fang and Luo retreated from the secret together with Manager Zhan.

When he arrived at the passage outside, Fang Yuan asked Manager Zhan with a look of surprise: "What's going on? And Uncle Yang and the others?"

Manager Zhan said with a trembling voice: "I don't know the truth... Six days ago, Elder Weng came to the branch pavilion with the Pavilion Master on his back and ordered his subordinates to go fifty miles west of the city to find Elder Liang and the other two. At that time, after his subordinates brought Elder Weng and the Pavilion Master to this villa, they and Jianwei found Elder Liang and the others according to the place that Elder Weng said. At that time, Elder Liang and the Bo Yang still had a breath, and there was an old man who had died. When he was sent here..."

Manager Zhan swallowed, "When I was sent here, my subordinate asked Elder Weng how to act. At that time, the Pavilion Master in the secret room could still sit and stand, but... I just felt that the Pavilion Master's expression was as wise as Elder Weng..." But he stopped stammering.

Fang Yuan said anxiously: "It's time, I'm stuttering, but it's okay to say it."

Manager Zhan nodded: "I was tranced, as if I had amnesia. Elder Weng ordered his subordinates to stay outside the secret room. After a while outside, he heard Elder Weng say "The Pavilion Master has offended"... After entering, he saw the Pavilion Master sleeping like this. Afterwards, his subordinates took Elder Weng to observe Elder Liang and Uncle Yang, but found that Elder Liang had no breath. Uncle Yang is still unconscious now, and Elder Weng sent an order to pass on the Arch Guard to the General Pavilion..."

Fang and Luo became more and more shocked as they heard it. They hurriedly asked Elder Liang where he was. Manager Zhan led Fang Yuan and Luo Xiaoyao out of the secret room. It was midnight. He followed the guide of the lantern in the arcade and came to a wing room in the East Cluster Courtyard. When he entered the wing room, he saw Uncle Yang lying in the pit. His breath was still stable, and he seemed to be sleeping, but he didn't know the situation.

"The weather is going to be hot at this time, and my subordinates put Elder Liang and the old man's corpse in the cellar." Manager Zhan whispered.

Fang Yuan nodded and thought to himself that the Pavilion Master Luo Hanshui has already achieved great success in the elixir. In addition, Weng and Liang are both about to step into the elixir. Uncle Yang is also in the realm of great success in the elixir. In addition, an old man is a person who is harmed by others. But he must have been besieged, but he can't think of who is doing it. He thought that when he was in Lingxiu Villa, Luo Xiaoyao seemed to know Weng Mu's walking with him, and perhaps he would know some inside story. Thinking of this, he called Luo Xiaoyao in a quiet and meditating state: "Young Master, Young Master..."

Luo Xiaoyao, who was in meditation, was shocked by a "ah". Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "In the eyes of his subordinates, this matter was not done by one person. Our cabinet has always been low-key. Now this incident should be related to the dead old man. Can the young master know what the Pavilion Master is doing in this trip? What is the identity of the old man?"

Luo Xiaoyao cannot tell the truth about the Luo family not being the real owner of Tongbao Pavilion. The "Mother and Child Heavenly Box" that Luo Hanshui took away before leaving, even Luo Hanshui didn't know what was hidden in it. Although he guessed that this matter must be related to the "Mother and Child Heavenly Box", he thought it was useless to say it at this time, so he shook his head and said, "I have no way to know, but when Elder Weng wakes up... or he will know something about the inside story."

The three of them left the wing room and entered the secret room, but they saw Weng Mu in the corridor of the secret room. He was not surprised to see Luo Xiaoyao and Fang Yuan coming in, and went forward to see him: "I was injured in my soul. When the young master and the elder of the head arrived just now, my soul was just dazed, so I didn't dare to get up and greet him."

Fang Yuan nodded, looked at Luo Hanshui on the indoor bed, and whispered: "Elder Weng, what's going on?"

Weng Mu sighed and told the reason.

"That day, I received a message from the Pavilion Master, so I rushed from Taiyuan County to Youzhou overnight. Before the Pavilion Master arrived, I asked the Sikong Manager what happened? The Sikong Manager only said that someone had made an appointment with the Pavilion Master to meet in the branch palace, but they didn't know anything about the others."

"The next night, the Pavilion Master, Yang Bo and Elder Liang from Liaoyang also rushed to the branch Pavilion. I saw that the Pavilion Master had not mentioned this, so I dared not inquire about it. Before that day, an old man in green came. When he saw the Pavilion Master, he claimed his surname was Zhu, and he told the Pavilion Master a few poems, as if..."

Luo Xiaoyao knew it was a poem called "Accompany in the Army", but when he saw Weng Mu hesitating, he said: "The iron clothes were broken on the battlefield for hundreds of battles, and the south of the city has been encircled several times."
Chapter completed!
