Zhao Heng thanked her sincerely, but Lin Mengya still followed Zheng Rongrong's seniority and would only call him Uncle Heng.
"Uncle Heng, when I interrogated Xu Liang before, he told me that the reason why the Xu family treated Aunt Han like this was actually to make you voluntarily come up with a treasure. Do you have any impression at this time?"
Zhao Heng was stunned when he heard this.
Over the years, Xu Liang has intensified his torture of Xiao Han and intimidated the Zhao family time and time again. He is just the head of the family who is unlucky and his little sister is not kind to others.
But as for the treasure, he thought about it carefully, and then said hesitantly: "Speaking of which, the Xu family mentioned it once when they hired the younger sister. It is said that the Xu family is also a famous big family in Shangyang City. , I hope our Zhao family can come up with something real to prop up their appearance. But my parents don’t really like the Xu family and the Qin family, so they just added a lot to the little sister’s dowry. Moreover, I also I’ve never heard of anything like a treasure at home.”
Lin Mengya nodded, then took out the handheld mirror.
"Does Uncle Heng know this thing?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng was shocked and almost stepped forward to snatch it away.
"Where did you get this thing? Did you, you went to my ancestral hall?"
"I'm not going." She shook her head and held up the bronze mirror with both hands.
"This was when the fire broke out. My husband saw a thief entering the ancestral hall to steal it. You must have known that the guard of the ancestral hall was killed, right?"
Zhao Heng's reaction just now was just because he was too shocked and did not really doubt her intentions.
After hearing this, he reacted and looked at the person in front of him apologetically.
"I was confused. Yes, the guard responsible for guarding the ancestral hall was indeed killed. I was also wondering why they went to the ancestral hall, but I didn't expect that it was for this thing."
Looking at the bronze mirror in his hand, the expression on Zhao Heng's face was a bit complicated.
"This is my sister's relic, and it was also the token she exchanged with Rongrong's father. Later, before my sister passed away, she asked someone to send this thing back, probably because she was afraid that her parents would miss her too much."
After a woman gets married, unless she is divorced, she will be a member of her husband's family when she is born, and she can only leave the memorial tablet in her husband's family after her death.
Looking at the love the two elders of the Zhao family have for Zheng Rongrong, you can tell how much they feel for this daughter.
Therefore, Mrs. Zheng was probably afraid that her parents would worry too much, so she sent back this bronze mirror.
"So, there shouldn't be anything special about this bronze mirror. Then why does someone want to steal it?"
Zhao Heng also felt puzzled by this.
"This is probably an attempt to conceal it, right?"
She thought so at first, but Lin Mengya felt that the matter was not that simple.
The collusion between the Xu family and Mr. Zheng was by no means a temporary act.
In this case, they must be here for the Zhao family's treasure.
But Zhao Heng didn't need to hide it from her, and the killer didn't steal it, he just took the bronze mirror.
She felt that their target might be the bronze mirror.
"Can you give me another look?"
Zhao Heng immediately handed the bronze mirror to her. After Lin Mengya looked at it carefully for a while, even the system was tested along with it.
But there is no problem with this thing at all.
"Master, there is nothing special about this bronze mirror. Except for the clumsy style, it is no different from the bronze mirrors on the street."
Lin Mengya asked casually: "Do you still know the style?"
"Why don't I know?" In the system, Xiao Yao chirped as if someone stepped on his tail: "In addition to analyzing the medicine, I will also collect some of the most basic information about the local customs and customs. In this era, Although there are flowers carved on the bronze mirrors used by wealthy people, they are all rich flowers such as peonies, peonies, lilies. Moreover, although the carvings were made at this time, the shape is different from the popular bronze mirrors in the world. .”
After saying that, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, he made a comparison with the pictures he had collected.
"These are all the information I have collected. At least, I have not seen such a mirror in the Gong family's fiefdom."
Xiaoyao's words and pictures caught her attention.
But she thought that this was from more than ten years ago, so it was naturally a little different.
But she was not prepared and said it directly.
Zhao Heng was watching with her attentively. When he heard this sentence, he was stunned, thinking that the other party was asking him.
"Miss Su really has good eyesight, and this style is indeed unique. When the Zheng family sent it to me, even my mother said she had never seen such a bronze mirror. You know, my mother was a maritime businessman, and she had a lot of experience at home. What he has experienced is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.”
After listening to Xiaoyao's words and Zhao Heng's explanation, Lin Mengya became even more confused.
According to what they said, the origin of this mirror can be investigated.
"Since it is Mrs. Zheng's relic, I ask Uncle Heng to put it away. We can't put it away in the ancestral hall. If the purpose of that group of people is really this bronze mirror, I think they will have another trick."
Zhao Heng nodded solemnly.
While they were talking, Zheng Rongrong followed Tang and went inside to change Zhao Han's clothes.
Zhao Heng was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he thought of what his little sister was like now.
"Miss Su, I wonder what you are going to do with those two beasts?"
Lin Mengya suppressed the matter about the mirror, and then looked at Zhao Heng.
"I am prepared to kill them, but they can't die now?"
The same is true for Zhao Heng. His face, which had always been kind and shrewd, now revealed a bit of ruthlessness.
"Not only do I want them to die, I want the entire Xu family to pay the price for what happened to my sister."
"To be honest, there is something I'm afraid you need to know."
"What's the matter?"
"The Xu family has a close connection with Master Zheng, and the death of your sister, Mrs. Zheng, is inseparable from Master Zheng's death."
Zhao Heng was stunned.
"This, how is this possible? Even if they covet the position of the head of the Zheng family, they don't dare to attack my sister! Although my brother-in-law is a coward, he is sincere to my sister. Over the years, The second wife of the Zheng family did treat Rongrong harshly, but when my sister was here, they were considered honest."
"Do you know the origin of that famous doctor Sun?"
When the fire broke out, Dr. Sun was not in the same yard as them, so it was not greatly affected.
Zhao Heng also went to comfort him once and gave him a lot of things.
"Rong Rong said that he was found by the second roommate of the Zheng family."
"Yes, but I suspect that he was the one responsible for Mrs. Zheng's death. Because he knew what exactly happened to Miss Rongrong's illness."
A hint of coldness shot up from the soles of his feet.
Zhao Heng had an intuition that once some truths were revealed, it would definitely bring them bloody reality.
"What, what's going on?"
"It's poisoning. They took action when Miss Rongrong was still in her mother's womb. If it weren't for the magic medicine you sent, I'm afraid Mrs. Zheng would have been killed by them when she gave birth to her first child. But at that time, no one, including Mrs. Zheng, knew the truth of the matter, which led to the subsequent tragedy."
For a moment, Zhao Heng felt as if his heart was burning with fire.
Within one day, he learned that both sisters had been plotted against.
Such a result simply made him, a brother, burned inside and out.
"Why? Why do they do this to my sister?"
"Probably because Mrs. Zheng blocked their way. Uncle Heng, let's not tell the old man and the old lady about these things. However, if we want to overthrow the Xu family, the second wife of the Zheng family must be buried together."
Zhao Heng was a little lost.
He clenched his fists feebly. If he could not serve his parents well and protect his sisters and niece, what kind of man would he be
"It's all my fault. If I weren't so useless, if I, if I had power, maybe this wouldn't happen to them. They all blame me, blame me for my incompetence!"
Zhao Heng burst into tears. Such a steady man was crying more sadly than a child.
Lin Mengya sighed. If possible, who wouldn't want to have a pair of the Great Sage's piercing eyes to identify monsters and monsters
It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable.
"Uncle Heng, he is gone. Since the Zheng family owes Mrs. Zheng and me, we must get it back for Rongrong."
"That's right!" Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said, "The Zheng family owes our family two lives. I must get back what they deserve for my sister and my unborn nephew!"
"To be honest, the reason why I chose to cooperate with Miss Rongrong is because our Gong family wants to open up a trade route. As a close neighbor, if the Zheng family can work together with us, both of our families will benefit. Therefore, From now on, your enemies are my enemies. I will do my best to help you, and when the time comes, please keep your promise and unite the front with the Gong family."
Lin Mengya was not taking advantage of the situation. In fact, she felt that it was also a sign of sincerity to list the interests of both parties before cooperation.
After all, who can believe those unprovoked good intentions
Rather than hiding evil intentions, it is better to have a clear purpose from the beginning.
In this way, the cooperation between the two parties can be intimate.
"Don't worry, Miss Su. If this matter comes to fruition, our Zhao family is willing to do our best for you!"
"Uncle Heng's words are serious. Miss Rongrong is a good partner. And with the support of the Zhao family, many things will be easier in the future."
Zhao Heng felt that such a bargaining chip was not enough.
Now, he is willing to risk everything for revenge.
"I'm afraid the girl doesn't know that my wife, Tang, is now married to her husband, but her mother's family has been in the horse-trading business for generations. To open up trade routes, I'm afraid horses are indispensable. And in the hands of my father-in-law, there is something that is not known to others. Known breeds can be compared to the blood-stained horses, but they have more endurance than them."
