Chapter 156 River God
Great aunt?
Isn’t it said that Fu Xuemei’s time is almost up?

A strong person in Tianyuan realm has a life span of 200 years.

But the woman in front of him was clearly a young girl, and there was no way one could tell that she was an old woman who was almost two hundred years old.

Fu Shaoping bowed his head quickly.

Fu Xuemei's eyes fell on Fu Shaoping and asked suspiciously: "Why didn't you bring Shaoqing here?"

Among the men in the Fu family who are suitable for marriage, Fu Shaoqing is the most outstanding.

Fu Zhichang smiled and explained:
"Grandma, this is the Qilin child of the Thirteenth Branch of our Fu family. His name is Shao Ping, and he is also the best candidate for this marriage."

I hope Fu Xuemei will misunderstand me.

Fu Zhichang quickly recounted all of Fu Shaoping's glorious deeds.

the end.

Fu Shaoping was also asked to demonstrate his internal energy.

Fu Xuemei didn't frown from beginning to end. After Fu Zhichang finished his work, he said calmly:
"But you already have a wife and children at home?"

If it's really that good.

It's impossible that there is no progress in the marriage now.

As expected of an old man who is nearly two hundred years old, he hit the nail on the head.

Fu Shaoping is quite straightforward:
"My wife is pregnant."

for him.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

Being able to marry the daughter of the Ye family was just the icing on the cake for him. If the other party was willing, then everyone was happy. If she didn't like him, then he didn't have to rush.

Fu Zhichang smiled and explained:
"Grandma, although Shao Ping has married a wife, he is very chaste. He doesn't have any maids at home. He has never been to those brothels. He is not a playboy."

Fu Xuemei heard this.

I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Fu Zhichang also realized that something was wrong at once. If he was really a virgin, he would not have remarried.

So I could only bite the bullet and say:
"When farmers have a few more buckets of surplus grain at home, they will also ask for an extra concubine.

What's more, we are from aristocratic families.

It is inevitable to have three wives and four concubines. Even if you are a Shaoqing, it will be the same in the future.

Now Shao Ping's first wife has no family from outside the family and comes from a poor family. No matter what, if a girl from the Ye family marries into the family in the future, she will not be bullied.

Besides, we Shao Ping are not people who can stay in a pond. One day, we will be able to jump over the dragon gate.

We have to take a longer-term view.”

"okay."

Fu Xuemei waved her hand.

How could she not know Fu Zhichang's little thoughts? She was born in the eldest branch of the family, and she was not happy about the second branch becoming more and more powerful.

and.

Once she passed away.

The eldest branch of the family had nothing that could suppress the second branch of the family.

and so.

Although she was not happy about her great-granddaughter marrying a married man, she still whispered a few words to Aunt Fu. Aunt Fu took the order and left. Fu Xuemei's eyes fell on Fu Shaoping:
"I'll ask the sisters Ziqian and Zimei to come over later. If you can please them, we can talk about other things."

"Yes, my ancestor."

Fu Shaoping's attitude was always neither humble nor arrogant, which made Fu Xuemei feel much more pleasing to the eye.

He asked the servants to set up a banquet.

Fu Xuemei took Fu Zhichang away, leaving only Fu Shaoping.

Arrived at the inner room.

Fu Xuemei said calmly:
"Tell me, what bargaining chips do you have in your hands when you suddenly change Shaoqing to a married man, Fu Shaoping?"

"My great aunt is really a discerning person. Nothing can be hidden from you."

Fu Zhichang's mind was spinning.

If we want to accomplish anything today, it is obviously not possible if Fu Shaoping alone is the only one to do it. The final decision-making power still lies in the hands of this great-aunt.

Fu Zhichang thought about it.

He glanced left and right.

Whispered:
"Grandma, Fu Shaoping has the relics of the ancestors of the previous Ye family!"

This statement came out.

Fu Xuemei immediately straightened her originally lazy body.

The Ye family was a third-rank family in the previous dynasty.

A big battle.

Let their ancestors die.

In addition, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the old families, especially those who had served as officials in the previous dynasty. This was one of the reasons why the Ye family fell to the level of a ninth-rank family.

If it is really the relic of the Ye family’s ancestors.

According to the third-rank family at that time, he must not be an ordinary person!

Fu Xuemei looked at Fu Zhichang with her eyes fixed:
"Please tell me more carefully."

the other side.

Fu Shaoping sat at the banquet.

There was a golden fried bluefish on the table.

The green-scaled fish is a specialty of Qingqiu. It is a top-quality first-grade dace that melts in your mouth. It has delicious meat and contains tremendous vitality, making it most suitable for consumption by warriors.

Fu Shaoping glanced at the other two tables, each of which had a green-scaled fish on it.

He was starving.

After smelling the aroma of the grilled fish, I immediately picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted really good.

at this time.

The two beauties of the Ye family who were standing outside the door saw Fu Shaoping leisurely enjoying his meal. The dignified Ye Ziqian snorted in her heart.

Although the green-scaled fish is a specialty of Qingqiu County, it is sold in Zui Xiang Lou. But looking at Fu Shaoping's expression, it is clear that he has never tasted it before.

In addition, the clothes he was wearing, without any ornaments, made him look very poor, which made me even more unhappy.

In order to help the natal family, our ancestors now bring in all kinds of people and introduce them to them as husbands. It's really infuriating.

Feeling indignant.

But she was known for her modesty, so there was no sign of it on her face.

Instead, Amy Yip, the younger sister, covered her mouth and smiled: "This guy is really interesting. It's like he's having dinner at home."

Her charm is revealed in every move she makes.

Fu Shaoping heard the noise and looked up suddenly. He was shocked to see two stunning beauties standing at the door. He immediately bowed:
"I am Fu Shaoping from the Fu family in Anyang County."

"Ye Ziqian, the person next to you is my sister Ye Zimei."

Ye Ziqian replied calmly, walked to the first seat on the right and sat down, then concentrated on eating without saying anything else.

Eat without talking and sleep without talking.

Fu Shaoping did not rush to show his courtesy.

But Ye Zimei at the side couldn't help it, her eyes turned, and she smiled and said:
"I heard that the popular punishments for promotion and advancement, as well as the water-drip punishment, were all carried out by a young man named Fu in the Hundred Households Office of Qingniu Town. I believe that this young man is Fellow Daoist Fu."

"It's down."

"I've heard for a long time that Daoist Fu is a master at solving cases. Now there is a strange case in Qingqiu County. I wonder if Daoist Fu would be interested in solving it with me."

"Extremely happy!"

Fu Shaoping stood up and bowed.

Since the other party has extended an olive branch to him, he naturally won't back down.

Upon hearing this, Amy Yip's eyes lit up. She slapped her storage bag, and with a flash of light, a scroll flew towards Fu Shaoping.

Take the scroll.

When he opened it, he found the file about the He Shenqi case.

In Changning Town under the jurisdiction of Qingqiu County, there is a long river that has been dry for hundreds of years.

Three hundred years ago.

An old woman in Changning Town was visited by the river god in her dream.

Let Changning Town build a river temple, which will protect Changning Town from now on and ensure good weather and harvests.

At the beginning.

The old woman didn't care.

But more and more people in Changning Town have the same dream.

They half-believed and half-doubted and built a simple little temple, enshrining a seven-handed statue of the river god.

The night the temple was completed.

A long river that had been dry for hundreds of years suddenly began to seep water.

As the incense becomes more popular.

The Changliu River was soon refilled with water and connected to the Qinhuai River. Since then, Changning Town has become a communication hub, transforming from a hungry town into a prosperous town with a lot of trade.

Since March this year, boys and girls have been disappearing in Changning Town for unknown reasons.

the strange thing is.

The residents of Changning Town did not report the case either.

This was discovered accidentally by members of the Ye family when they went down to conduct a population census.

Records in files.

The first member of the Ye clan who was at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm went to investigate, but he disappeared for no apparent reason. Then, there was no news from the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm that was sent out.

Fu Shaoping collected the file.

This case is quite tricky.

Amy Yip couldn't wait:
"Friend Fu, it is better to do it now than to wait for a better day. How about we go to Changning Town today?"

"Nonsense!"

Ye Ziqian frowned in silence:
"There is still no clue about the Changning Town case. You are so precious and you are going there rashly without anyone who can protect you. If there is any loss, how can I explain to my father? The Changning Town case will naturally be followed up by the General Affairs Hall."

When saying this.

Ye Ziqian glanced at Fu Shaoping indifferently.

Obviously.

She looked down on Fu Shaoping.

Also.

She also didn't want to have a brother-in-law who was a poor man.

Amy Yip was scolded, but she shrugged indifferently:
"If I go to Changning Town, I won't be able to come back. Then I will become a useless person. Big sister, don't worry. I will definitely come back safely."

"I said you can't go, so you can't go. You just met someone else once, and you want to contradict your elder sister on behalf of that irrelevant person!"

Ye Ziqian narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Ye Zimei steadily. Ye Zimei was not intimidated and curled her lips and said:
"Big sis, I'm no longer the slug that followed you around when you were little."

"you!"

What he meant was that he had taken a liking to Fu Shaoping.

Ye Ziqian hated him for not fighting back, so she twisted his arm hard and said in a low voice:
"But I heard that the other party already has a wife. If you marry him, you will be a concubine at most. There are so many people in the whole Huainan Prefecture vying to propose marriage. Any one of them will be better than this poor man."

The current Fu family is originally dependent on their Ye family.

And this Fu Shaoping was not from the eldest branch of the Fu family, but was born in a small southern barbarian town.

Spend your whole life.

Up to the sky.

That is to say, to seek a position of a centurion.

Amy Yip giggled:
"Sister, all the good husbands are reserved for you."

The two spoke in voices that were neither too loud nor too soft, just right for Fu Shaoping's ears.

Seeing that Ye Ziqian wanted to persuade her again.

The curtain of the inner room was opened, and Fu Xuemei and Fu Zhichang came out. Fu Xuemei looked at Ye Zimei kindly and pulled her to sit next to her: "Good girl, since you want to go to Changning Town, then go."

This statement came out.

Ye Ziqian's face turned pale. She was afraid that the old man had heard what she had just said.

Anyway.

The Fu family is my ancestor’s maternal family.

She shouldn't be so denigrated.

But as the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she naturally refused to give in.

So he said that he had other things to do and turned away.

Fu Xuemei sneered in her heart. This great-granddaughter was so proud and arrogant that she didn't know she had missed an opportunity. She turned to Ye Zimei and said gently, "Zimei, go back and pack some clothes. You and Shaoping are both strangers to the people in Changning Town. Since we are investigating a case, you should change your clothes."

"Yes, ancestor."

Amy Yip smiled, bowed, and stood up to leave.

As soon as she leaves.

Fu Xuemei's gaze fell on Fu Shaoping. Ye Ziqian had ridiculed him just now, but Fu Shaoping remained calm and was a steady man. Maybe the Ye family will have to rely on this young man in front of them in the future.

She was seeking a way out for her own family, but also for the Ye family.

Fu Xuemei said:
"Zimei has loved watching criminal investigations since she was little. Her ideas are different from those of other ladies. As long as you can get her to agree to your invitation, I will help you with her father and the elders of the Ye family."

This criminal investigation case in Changning Town.

It was obvious that Amy Yip was very considerate of Fu Shaoping, and this marriage was settled.

talking.

Fu Xuemei slapped her storage bag.

A flash of glow.

A talisman floated towards Fu Shaoping:
"Keep this purple thunder talisman with you, just in case."

"Thank you for the reward, ancestor."

The Purple Thunder Talisman is a third-level talisman.

It costs several thousand low-grade Yuanshi and was snapped up as soon as it came out. It is extremely rare.

Fu Shaoping took it with both hands and put the talisman into the box.

Seeing that Fu Shaoping was able to gain further contact with Amy Yip by virtue of his charm, Fu Zhichang was also proud of it and said with a smile: "I will go down with you on the boat in a while, and I will stay at the entrance of Changning Town. If you have anything, just send me a message and I will rush there as soon as possible."

Fu Zhichang handed Fu Shaoping a sub-talisman of the mother-child communication jade talisman.

After expressing his gratitude, Fu Shaoping changed into the attire of a traveling merchant, and Amy Yip also changed into the attire of a merchant's wife. Fu Zhichang piloted the flying sword, landed in the Changliu River, and drove the merchant ship prepared by the Ye family towards Changning Town.

We haven’t reached Changning Town yet.

Just far away.

Then we saw many ships coming and going.

As a transit station for river trade, Changning Town is very prosperous.

Arriving at the pier.

But I saw red banners hanging everywhere in the town.

I found out after asking.

Tomorrow is the annual sacrificial ceremony at the River God Temple.

From a distance, you can see that the gate of the River God Temple has been closed in preparation for tomorrow's ceremony.

Fu Shaoping and his companion stayed in the inn.

After the door closes.

Amy Yip asked, "Friend Fu, where should we start investigating?"

Fu Shaoping: "At night, let's hide our tracks and go to the missing child's home to check."

Since all the Ye family members who came to investigate the case disappeared for no reason.

Then they naturally cannot alert the enemy.

If an open investigation fails, then we can only conduct a secret investigation.

Amy Yip was obviously a little excited. She walked around the room from time to time and looked at the sky outside the window. In contrast, Fu Shaoping was very calm. He had already sat cross-legged in meditation, without any arrogance or impatience. Amy Yip looked at her and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Fu Shaoping at this time.

But his attention was on the treasure book of the sea of ​​consciousness.

A thought.

The treasure mirror trembled slightly.

A line of text flashed out:
"The Heaven-shaking Seal: A First Look at the Secret (1/100)"

The Heaven-Flipping Seal is the highest-level martial art he has. Fu Shaoping plans to improve his own strength before that. In the treasure book, he still has twenty attribute points left that have not been used.

Immediately thought in my heart:
"Add some Heaven-Flipping Seal!"

next moment.

He then appeared in the treasure mirror.
