The most attention-grabbing piece of information was naturally the clue regarding the Huo family's lost treasures.
Anyone who was a little older would always remember the glory of the Huo family.
At that time, the Huo family was the envy of the entire aboriginals. Later on, when the Huo family suddenly disappeared, many people secretly went to the Huo family's old residence in an attempt to get their hands on the monstrous wealth.
Unexpectedly, the people they secretly sent either retreated without even touching the Huo family's front door. Later on, they became suspicious and said that there was a vengeful spirit causing mischief.
Either that person was gone, or he had died there, or he disappeared with the treasures after seeing them.
In short, the Huo family was a taboo for most of the aboriginals.
More than a decade later, the Huo family's treasures reappeared in the world. They were still as famous as before.
Inns, restaurants, taverns, and teahouses were filled with people's guesses and ambitions.
Many pairs of eyes were also secretly staring at the direction indicated by the rumor — the Huo family's courtyard.
"Do you think the Huo family's treasures are still in that courtyard?"
In the restaurant, a few people couldn't suppress the fire in their hearts and discussed in hushed voices.
Another person shook his head. He wasn't too optimistic about this matter.
"If I were the Pei family, I would have moved everything away long ago. With so many treasures, of course I'd be at ease if I kept them under my nose, right? "
However, the other person at the same table sneered. "Tsk, you don't understand. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Think about it. After so many years, who would have thought that the Huo family's treasures would still be here? "
"Oh yes, I have a piece of news."
The man waved at his other two companions.
When the three heads were close together, the third person whispered like a thief, "Let me tell you, this time the Pei family's broken jade book, have you all seen it?"
His companions looked at each other and nodded.
"But you probably don't know this, but that ancient book was the treasure of the Huo family's Old Master. I heard it from an elder of my family who met Old Master Pei. He said that Old Master Huo regarded that ancient book as his life. "
"Say, if this thing has fallen into the hands of the Pei Family, then what about the other treasures?"
His words made the other two suck in a breath of cold air.
From their point of view, the Pei Family must have gained a great advantage. Otherwise, how could the Huo Family's treasured possession be trampled on so casually?
After saying this, the man raised his hand again and downed an entire cup of wine.
Although his voice was very soft just now, those around him with good hearing could still hear him.
Not long after he finished speaking, there were already two tables of customers who dropped their money and quietly ran away.
"Brother, is this news true?"
The man waved his hand and said to his two companions at the same table, "I'm just saying. Don't take it seriously. I think it's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. "
He stood up shakily and saluted the two of them with cupped fists before walking out.
However, the expressions of the remaining two changed again and again. In the end, the two of them looked at each other tacitly and got up immediately, rushing home.
As for the man who dropped the important news.
Someone also wanted to follow him. It would be best if they could find out the source of the news.
However, they didn't expect that the person would just turn a corner and they would never be able to find him again.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know. Maybe he noticed that we were following him, so he jumped over the wall and ran away?"
"Then should we still chase after him?"
"What's there to chase? It's more important to bring back the news!"
After all the tails had left, a figure flipped out from the wall.
However, he had already changed his clothes and his eyes were clear. He didn't look drunk at all as he swaggered out.
Such scenes played out all over Yuehu City.
This was how the news spread. Later on, it was difficult to find the source.
However, everyone was certain that the Huo family's wealth had been taken by the Pei family.
Otherwise, how could they take out the things that belonged to the Huo family?
Of course, other than this news, there were also some speculations about the Huo family's inexplicable disappearance.
Since the Pei family was the biggest beneficiary, the Pei family was the most likely to make a move.
After so many years, almost all the families that had maintained a friendly relationship with the Huo family were gone.
The remaining people were secretly complaining about why the Pei family wanted to monopolize everything.
There were so many good things. If they could be divided among the big guys, many people would probably be able to eat well for a few years.
They couldn't offend the public.
Even a large family like the Pei family couldn't resist at all.
As more and more people came to inquire about the news, Pei Mingyuan couldn't ignore it anymore.
At the same time, there were also a few families that were slightly weaker than the Pei family who cleverly joined forces to put pressure on him.
To put it nicely, they wanted to clarify the rumors.
However, he didn't know that they had just become greedy over the years and wanted a share of the pie from the Pei family's hands.
If it was in the past, he would probably give them some leftovers in order to buy their hearts.
But now, it was hard for him to back down.
If he gave it to them, it would mean that the rumors were true. At that time, he was afraid that this group of people would be even more greedy.
If he didn't give it to them, they wouldn't believe it easily. If not, there would be a rift between the relationship between the several families. He was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble in the future.
Pei Mingyuan, who was in a dilemma, was so angry that he wanted to skin the fourth son of the Pei family.
"Where is he? Ask him to come back, or I'll drive him out of the Pei family and let him beg for food with his mother! "
Pei Mingyuan, who had vented his anger, still had to face the coercion and temptation of that group of people.
On the other side, the person in charge of keeping a close eye on the ancient book reported to Lin Mengya that the security there had suddenly been increased, and there were more and more people spying on the street.
They were wantonly searching for some people in the whole city, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Lin Mengya waved her hand and continued to keep an eye on the news outside.
In the room, Long Tianhao, who was practicing calligraphy with the baby in his arms, only looked at his wife and continued to practice calligraphy.
Little Fubao stayed obediently in his father's arms, and stared curiously at the words written by his father with her big black eyes.
Each and every one of those bold and beautiful words attracted all of her attention.
"It seems that my daughter will be a talented girl who is proficient in the four arts in the future. Good, this is really good!"
Long Tianhao praised her happily.
Little Fubao didn't know what his father meant, but just raised a sweet smile, which could melt his old father's heart.
Then, suddenly, her little belly gave a little force, and the sparse "sweet rain" made her father's hard work go down the drain.
Long Tianhao wasn't dissatisfied at all. Instead, he patted his daughter's little belly, for fear that she would catch a cold, and quickly went to change his daughter's diaper.
Lin Mengya sat by the side, only feeling that it was amazing.
Sure enough, after a man had a daughter, he would be different.
If this happened to the two sons, perhaps there would be no friendly atmosphere of "fatherly filial piety".
Long Tianhao, who had learned to change the baby's diaper by leaps and bounds, did not forget to exchange ideas with his wife.
"It seems that the Pei family is really anxious, but how did you come up with the idea of using their previous conflict?"
Lin Mengya stretched herself and continued to write and draw on her small warm brick bed.
"I just feel strange. Since they are trying so hard to hide the Huo family's treasures, they shouldn't have used that ancient book as bait."
"So I guess the Pei family is not united. Moreover, it is not good for the Pei family to confirm whether the Huo family is still there. Instead, it will let the Huo family know who the enemy is. Isn't it obvious that they are making enemies for themselves? "
Lin Mengya felt strange when Uncle Huo told her that most of the treasures were still there.
Later, the history of the Pei family made her feel that the Pei family must have wanted to hide the existence of this part of the wealth.
But although that ancient book was valuable, it was of great significance to the Huo family.
At the same time, when they used this ancient book as bait, there was a risk that this part of the wealth would be leaked.
Therefore, she guessed that the Pei family must not be united.
It should be known that the enemy biting each other was equivalent to their own victory.
Therefore, she might as well end it and make a big deal out of it.
"Aren't you afraid that they will get angry and really destroy the ancient book?" Long Tianhao turned his head and asked.
Lin Mengya said with a smile, "If it is really destroyed, the Pei family will be more unlucky. Don't worry, they will only cherish that ancient book more than we do."
Long Tianhao was extremely smart.
So there was no surprise on his face at all.
He just couldn't help but flick his wife's forehead.
"You only know how to be naughty."
Lin Mengya covered her head and looked at him with a sad face.
"What? After I gave birth to your daughter, I became useless, right? I didn't know that you are such a scumbag! "
Long Tianhao knew that she was joking, but he still told her seriously.
"My daughter is important, but you are my most important baby."
Tui!
Lin Mengya didn't believe it!
This pig trotter was obviously trying to fool her with nice words.
However, why did she still feel so happy in her heart?
Long Tianhao looked at his wife, who was trying hard to maintain her composure, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Naturally, he had to agree with what his wife wanted to do.
In that case, let's make this matter even more serious.
.....
The house closest to the center of Yuehu City was also the most simple and solemn. It didn't belong to a person or a family.
This was the most important place for the clan meeting.
At this moment, there were several important figures in the aboriginals meeting here.
"Quiet! The Chief Elder and the others are here! "
The discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at the door.
