Let’s not mention why the old man laughed. At this time, I carefully highlighted the old man. In appearance, he doesn't look like a centenarian at all, that is, he looks like he is in his seventies. Although there are wrinkles on his face, they are not very deep. His teeth are very straight and should be dentures. His movements were not the shambling look I imagined, nor was he like a dragon with a long beard and long eyebrows in movies and TV shows. No wonder the third uncle and the old man are so close to each other. It turns out that the old man has a similar personality to his third uncle, and he is also a forthright person. The two of them had endless things to say when they met...
The nanny brought a tea bowl, made tea and poured water. We also sat down. There were several chairs beside the stone table, which showed that people often visited the old man. After a while, the nanny brought some fruits and said: "Everyone has a try, these are all grown in our own yards..." Before we could get to the point, a large group of people came, and they were very excited. They shouted "Hengzi!..." from far away. It seemed that these were all the colleagues of the third uncle. Some even hugged the third uncle and asked each other about the situation at home. When they mentioned the past, everyone The topics continued, and they laughed from time to time. A leader-like person picked up his cell phone, said a few words, and then told everyone, "Don't leave today. I have notified the cafeteria department in the factory cafeteria to prepare tables. I have long wanted to invite Uncle Xuan and these buddies from back then." Well, I haven't found the opportunity yet. I just happened to have a drink today... Then he looked at the three of us and continued: "The factory is not far away. It's just across the street after leaving the courtyard." Then he said to the old man: "Xuan Uncle, let’s go visit the factory you built back then today... "
It turns out that this man is the current director of a factory founded by Uncle Xuan back then. Lin Feng and we went up to help Grandpa Xuan, but Grandpa waved his hand to stop us, and followed us with a cane with a dragon head. Afterwards, he was led by the factory director and walked around the factory for a while. The old man was filled with emotion. After that, we came to the side of the canteen, which was marked as "Catering Department". It seemed to be the place where the factory entertained guests. There is no need to write in detail below.
After the old man finished eating, the two girls sent him back, while the third uncle and the others continued to drink. The group of people drank while talking about the past, crying and laughing for a while, and the commotion didn't disperse until after 10 o'clock. We were also arranged to stay in the factory guest house. The next morning, I finished washing up in the guest house, which also has a canteen, and had breakfast. The four of us visited Chen Mansion again. The old man knew we were coming and had already been waiting in the pavilion. There was a wooden box on the stone table. Entering the main topic, the third uncle said: "Uncle Xuan, these three children..." Before the third uncle could finish speaking, the old man took over the topic: "I know their purpose! Yesterday you told me this I already knew the name of the child! This is God's will. I have been waiting for you for many years!" We were all stunned. The old man smiled and said, "Sit down and listen to me slowly!"
The old man took a sip of tea and said: "Do you know about the 'Jiashen Incident'?" The third uncle was confused at that time, and I stood up. I said weakly: "Is it Li Zicheng who entered Beijing?" The old man laughed. Laughing, he said: "Young people are to be feared, but children can be taught!" So the old man started to tell a story...
It is said that when Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty first came to the throne, he invited high-ranking officials. The master gave him two clever ideas. One was to let him build a stable behind the palace, raise a good horse, and have a groom take care of it. He would feed and walk the horse every day. If the horse is old, replace it with another and keep raising it. Emperor Chongzhen began to raise horses according to the advice of experts, but later he felt that it was useless. When the horses got old, he withdrew them and did not continue! When the city was broken in the Jiashen year, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan. If he had not given up raising horses at that time, he would have been able to escape on horseback. This second plan is a tip bag, telling him to open it in critical moments. Later, Li Zicheng's army pressed forward step by step, and the officers and soldiers were defeated one after another. Emperor Chongzhen opened the brocade bag. It turned out that there was a note in the brocade bag with the words "Break the traitor's dragon vein", so he immediately gave it to the Governor of Shaanxi Wang Qiaonian issued a secret edict...
One day in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng's hometown, Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, the county magistrate Bian Dashou received a case. A farmer selling garlic sued the government officials for robbing his garlic. This was an ordinary case, but the farmer kept kowtowing while kneeling and narrating, and even crawled to Bian Dashou and patted his feet.
Bian Dashou felt that there was something else in this, so he took the garlic seller into the back hall and pushed him away. The garlic seller took off his hat, took out the secret edict from inside, and said: "I am the secret envoy of the inner court. This matter is of great importance. I'm afraid The news leaked out, so I had to do this!" Bian Dashou saw the secret order and asked him to dig up the ancestral grave of the intruder and cut off his dragon vein. He nodded, then continued to the court, asked his subordinates to compensate the garlic seller for his losses, and sent him away.
After the emissary left, Bian Dashou was "sticky". Where on earth could he find the ancestral grave of the intruder? Where the hell is the dragon vein! When he was restless and restless, his confidant Jia Huan, seeing the Lord like this, quietly asked: "I wonder what the Lord is so worried about?" Bian Dashou told him about the secret decree and said: "This It’s a secret decree, it can’t be publicized, how can I find it! Moreover, doing this is also an unethical thing, and the risk is extremely high. Now the Ming Dynasty is at stake. Once Li Zicheng finds out about this, my whole family will suffer!"
Jia Huan said: "You have found the right person when you come to me, I know!" When Bian Dashou heard this, he really felt like eating ice! So I quickly asked him how he knew? Jia Huan said: "There is a policeman named Zhang Zixiang in our yamen. In fact, his surname is not Zhang, but Li. His name is Li Zixiang. He is the biological brother of the intruder Li Zicheng. He has secretly sworn sworn friends with more than 20 people, and he has made an appointment with the intruders to attack. As an internal response, I am one of the sworn people! If you want to find out the location of his ancestral grave, you can sworn to him and figure out a way later."
So Bian Dashou called Li Zixiang and asked, "Your surname is Li, why did you change your surname to Zhang?" Li Zixiang was about to defend himself, but Jia Huan came out and said, "Brother Li, there is no need to hide it. I have told the truth to you!" Li Zixiang hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. Bian Dashou stepped forward to help him up and said, "Don't be afraid! I also see that the imperial court is in danger and want to find a way out. I want to make friends with you." Li Zixiang was overjoyed and immediately swore sworn vows with Bian Dashou. Later, when Bian Dashou came out, he was his superior and subordinate to Li Zixiang, and when he came in, he was sworn brother.
What Zhang Zixiang never expected was that Bian Dashou had only one purpose in doing this, which was to gradually find out the specific location of Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb. Bian Dashou also secretly sent people to inquire and learned that Li Zicheng's grandfather was named Li Hai and his father was named Li Shouzhong. After his death, a fellow villager named Li Cheng participated in the burial.
So Bian Dashou had an idea for Zhang Zixiang, and drank and had fun with Zhang Zixiang every day. While Zhang Zixiang was drunk, he talked about the art of Feng Shui and even praised that the Li family's ancestral tomb must be in a perfect place. Zhang Zixiang was very proud. He told the location of the ancestral tomb, and Bian Dashou invited him to go with him in the name of hunting. He made a special trip to Sanfengzi Mountain and secretly confirmed the specific location of the Li family's ancestral tomb.
Soon after receiving news that Li Zicheng's troops were about to invade Tongguan, Bian Dashou gave Zhang Zixiang seven thousand taels of silver and asked him to defect to King Chuang to help him build relationships. He also sent his twenty sworn agents to go with him and take Zhang Zixiang away. Bian Dashou was still worried about leaving, so he sent Jia Huan to follow him secretly to confirm that he had left. Then he took 30 archers and 60 countrymen, paid a lot of money to Li Cheng as his guide, and traveled 130 days and nights. Li, arrived at Sanfengzi Mountain. It happened that there was heavy snowfall, more than two feet deep, and the mountain road was steep and slippery, making it impossible to ride a horse. Bian Dashou led everyone to dismount and walk for five or six miles. The bird path was rugged and had not been visited for a long time. They climbed up the path and finally arrived at the cemetery of Li Zicheng's ancestors. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides and was majestic. There were no less than a thousand trees covering the sky. There are more than 23 trees and 23 large and small tombs. According to Li Cheng, a total of three cavities were found during the burial, and two were filled. One was used as a tomb. Because the cave was dark, a black bowl was used to light a lamp. The black bowl was then buried in the tomb, so black holes were found. That's the bowl.
After digging five or six of them, no black bowl was found. It was already getting late, so everyone stayed in the cemetery for one night. The next day, they finally locked Li Hai's tomb through the black bowl, and Li Shouzhong's tomb was also found. He was found and there was an elm tree growing on the top with strange branches and leaves. He chopped it with an axe. The tree was cut off and the tomb was opened. There was a white snake coiled in the coffin, one foot or two inches long. When the tomb was opened, he jumped two feet high and fell back into the tomb. Bian Dashou looked carefully and saw that the snake's head and horns had turned into a dragon shape. His eyes had not yet been transformed and his body had not changed. Bian Dashou ordered the black bowl and white snake to be removed. Put it in a mahogany box and store it for presentation to superiors. After the white snake left the cave, seven inches of black hair was seen growing on Li Shouzhong's body! Bian Dashou ordered that all the seven or eight graves with hairy bones be cut down and burned, and not only that, but also more than 1,300 large trees in the nearby mountains and forests were cut down and the mountains were cut off. Go back and write a newspaper: The tomb has been destroyed, the king's anger has been vented, and the thieves' power must have been broken! Report to Wang Qionian together with the wooden box. On that day, Li Zicheng was defeated in Henan and was blinded by Liu Ya.
No, cutting off the dragon's veins like this won't be complete! The correct way is to hold the Dragon-Slaying Sword, chant the Dragon-Slaying Technique, and cut the dragon, that is, the snake in two with one swing! Of course, the person who can cut off the dragon vein must be a real dragon! But others didn't understand, and just taking the little dragon away could not completely solve the problem, so Chongzhen was forced to death by Li Zicheng later. Let the Qing court benefit! They don’t understand, but someone does! The Qing Dynasty believed in shamanism, and the shamans of the Qing royal family understood this!
After that, the Ming army retreated steadily. Some people in Mizhi County were worried that Bian Dashou would be implicated and Li Zicheng would retaliate, so someone conspired to capture Bian Dashou and present it to Li Zicheng for self-protection...
