Chapter 1308: Five Houses in Yanjing

Chapter 1308: Five Houses in Yanjing

Beichizi Street and Nanchizi Street are adjacent to the Forbidden City and are the center of the entire Yanjing City, so every inch of land here is worth a lot of money.

Li Xiangnan is a person from later generations, and he knows that a courtyard house here was once sold at a price of over 100 million yuan, shocking the world.

There is a ruin area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters here, which has been in a state of collapse and burning for many years. This in itself is an incredible thing.

His eyes flickered as he looked at the shocking area in the distance, his mind full of thoughts.

"Are you surprised?"

Yu Jingran turned to look at him.

"Yes!" Li Xiangnan told the truth, "Why didn't they try to restore this place after the fire burned everything? Did all the members of the Mu family really die? But last time..."

"No! No!" Yu Jingran looked calmly at the Mu family in the distance, "After the fire, there was only one person who could be contacted by the world!"

Li Xiangnan's eyes suddenly widened, "Are you referring to Mu Huanxiong?"

"Yes!" Yu Jingran did not deny what he said, "Since then, the entire Mu family disappeared almost overnight, but only Mu Huanxiong is still there! Some people tried to find the truth and restore what happened that night, but Mu Huanxiong's whereabouts were unknown due to his changed temperament, and the truth has been hidden in the long river of history!"

"But..." Li Xiangnan frowned and was about to speak.

"I know what you want to say!" Yu Jingran smiled, "Are you trying to say that many people from the Mu family came to Mu Lianqiao's execution on the day she was executed?"

"Yes, grandma, it seems that there are actually many members of the Mu family! Including the Mu family who left me messages, the Mu family who are active in the dark, the Mu family who brought Zhou Yuejin back, and the Mu family who asked me to meet..."

"Of course!" Yu Jingran nodded, and turned to look at the huge Yanjing City. "The Mu family is one of the top five families in Yanjing City. How could they be defeated so easily? The scorched earth ruins and the charred bones of the Mu family's old house may be like the Old Summer Palace, reminding the Mu family of what kind of humiliation it was, and how their glory was trampled upon?"

Li Xiangnan's eyes moved.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little respect for the Mu family, his "enemy".

It is almost the beginning of March in Yanjing City, and it seems that the season of revival has arrived for all things.

The city was covered with snow, which could only be seen on the edge of Jingshan Mountain. The snow had completely disappeared inside the city.

"There were street offices or people who wanted to buy that area, but it was always interrupted for one reason or another! Perhaps, when construction begins there one day, it will prove that some of the obsessions of the Mu family have been resolved! That's when they start to return!"

Song Yi said quietly beside him.

Li Xiangnan kept silent and looked at the ruins in silence.

"Look there again!"

Yu Jingran pointed to the corner tower on the east side of Jingshan Mountain. There was a four-story tower, which was much taller than the surrounding buildings. It stood alone in the air and was very conspicuous.

"The courtyard where the water tower is located belongs to Mu Huanxiong!" Yu Jingran reminded.

"Is it his?" Li Xiangnan raised the telescope and carefully identified the direction.

Near the corner tower, on the north side of Beichizi Street, if you stand on the water tower, you can see the ruins of the Mu family’s old house to the south at a glance!

Li Xiangnan's heart moved, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Where there is a will, there is a way. With a desperate effort, the 120 Qin passes finally belonged to Chu. Heaven will not let down those who work hard. With a hardworking attitude, the 3,000 Yue troops can conquer Wu. It seems that Mu Huanxiong, who watches over this ruin every day, is not having an easy time!"

At the very least, he must be living in pain!

No one could stand by and watch their homes being destroyed.

Even though he is a “bad guy!”

"I originally thought Rong'er died in the fire! Now it seems that this is not the case! The Mu family may have more secrets than the entire top five families! Her appearance in Luzhou may be a very critical signal!"

Yu Jingran tightened his mink coat and held Song Yi and Qin Ruobai's hands in his palms. "The wind is strong, let's go down the mountain!"

"Grandma, who are the top five families in Yanjing?" Li Xiangnan turned around and asked in surprise.

"Yu, Jiang, Mu, Song... We are waiting for you at the foot of the mountain!"

Yu Jingran said lightly.

Li Xiangnan opened his mouth and waited.

But when I came to my senses, I realized that Grandma Song only mentioned four families.

Moreover, judging from the literal meaning, the Song family is actually ranked last?

The Song family has such great power, but it is only ranked last?

Yu family?

Grandma Song’s surname is Yu, is she from their family?

Jiang? Who else?

Li Xiangnan was shocked and suddenly woke up.

Isn’t my grandmother-in-law Jiang Guiying’s surname Jiang?

Grandmother Yue's family? The Jiang family?

The Mu family is beyond doubt, and the Song family is beyond doubt!

What about the remaining one?

Li Xiangnan stood in the Wanchun Pavilion, looking at the Forbidden City in the distance, the ruins of the courtyard house on Beichizi Street, and the tall water tower rising from the ground. He couldn't understand anything and couldn't think of anything.

So far, he has come into contact with the Yu family, the Jiang family, the Song family and the Mu family.

But what really gave him an idea was the Song family that amazed him!

Their family's economic strength and power status are unprecedented and astonishing!

If they were all ranked last, how terrifying would the power of the Yu, Jiang and Mu families be?

Li Xiangnan smoked four cigarettes and was sure of what was going on.

Perhaps, the ranking of the top five companies in the past was not calculated according to the power he believed?

After finishing his fifth cigarette, he started to walk down the mountain.

The scenery along the way passed by quickly. Li Xiangnan had no intention of appreciating it and hurriedly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Grandma is too tired from climbing the mountain and she talks too much, so I asked Uncle Jin to take her back first!"

"Of course I should have seen her off, but my mind is a mess and I can't figure out many things..."

"Don't say sorry! We don't say that as a family!" Song Yi waved at Song Zimo, who was standing by the car with a silly smile. The latter brought over a thermos and an enamel cup.

Qin Ruobai held the jar and poured water for her. After she finished, she handed it to her and said softly, "Grandma Song said that the last of the top five is right on the literal meaning!"

"The last one?"

Li Xiangnan, who was holding the enamel pot to cover his hands, was shocked. Then his eyes brightened and he asked, "You mean, the previous owner?"

He was a little confused and his brows suddenly frowned.

Because he had never heard of this surname in the Hundred Family Surnames, he had only heard of one other one...

"No, it's Shangguan!" Song Yi shook her head.

Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes, a little shocked.

"Shangguan, Shangwu Family! Shangguan is the only one in the world! Even the name of Shangwu Family comes after them... What do they have to say?"

I thought Song Yi would know a lot, but she shook her head and said honestly, "I have never met anyone from the Shangguan family! In the officialdom, business, or among the people, I don't know anyone from their family!"

"Don't know him?" Li Xiangnan was stunned. He silently tasted the hot water, but he drank it too quickly and burned his lips. He quickly spat it out.

"Are you okay?" Qin Ruobai hurried over to help.

"I'm fine!" Li Xiangnan waved his hands, clicked his tongue, turned to look at the two and said, "Do you think it's possible that Shangguan, a double surname, has also changed his name in recent years?"

Qin Ruobai and Song Yi were both shocked and looked at each other.

Li Xiangnan stood up from the stone and asked excitedly, "Do you think it is possible that their surname is Guan now, not Shangguan?"

Qin Ruobai's eyes widened immediately and she exclaimed, "You mean, Guan Hongzhen? The person who asked you to meet him late at night at Wanchun Pavilion is from the Shangguan family?"

"..."
