All the Family Heads and younger generation present didn't expect that Wang Jinlong would actually dare to kill someone in front of them! Looking at those mysterious black-clothed men, everyone thought that the Wang Family must have some sort of backing. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so arrogant!
I followed the principle of not caring about anything, Situ Liang's life and death had nothing to do with me. It was better that this annoying idiot was killed by Wang Jinlong, so I didn't have to dirty my hands. He actually dared to hire a hitman to kill me, this was what he deserved.
At this time, the Family Heads who still had a glimmer of hope were shocked by Wang Jinlong's killing intent. They all picked up the contract in their hands and looked at it. In fact, it was the same whether they looked at it or not. If they had any doubts, they couldn't raise them.
Wang Weihan seemed to be very satisfied with Wang Jinlong's approach. Killing the chicken to warn the monkey was the most appropriate thing to do in this situation. Liu Zhenhai seemed to be puzzled as to why I didn't make a move, but I just smiled at him. It was because the time hadn't come yet. I felt that Wang Weihan wasn't the kind of person who would give up so easily. Did he come here just for money?
Liu Zhenhai saw that I didn't make a move, so he simply signed the contract. He knew that with my terrifying strength, it would be easy for me to take back the family property.
After Wang Jinlong received the contract, he handed it over to Wang Weihan. Wang Weihan looked over the contract in his hand with satisfaction and put it aside. Then he looked at everyone present and said, "Very good, then we can move on to the next part! I heard that ten years ago, each of you got a piece of sheepskin, right? "
After the Family Heads heard this, their expressions changed. They didn't expect that Wang Weihan didn't know about such a secret matter! One must know that this matter was only known to the Family Heads of the Five Great Families. Even their descendants didn't know about it!
This matter started ten years ago. At that time, the Huaxia reforms had just started, and the few aristocratic families had just started their economic development. At that time, the relationship between the families had not become as beneficial as it was now, and they had a good relationship with each other. Except for the Wang family, who lived in seclusion, the other five family heads were often together and sometimes separated.
In the summer of 1988, the Martial Arts Competition had just ended. The masters of several aristocratic families had agreed to go sightseeing in Liu Zhenhai's hometown, Songjiang Province. As a result, it happened to rain one day when they were hiking. At that time, Liu Zhenhai proposed to find a place to hide from the rain. Among them, he was the only one who had a military background, so he had a special understanding of the weather. According to the current weather, this rain would probably last until the next day.
Everyone also felt that it was not appropriate to go down the mountain at this time, so they all agreed with Liu Zhenhai's suggestion. Meng Rusong and Ding Changzai (Ding Wenfeng's grandfather) took the lead and rushed to the front. At that time, many places in the mountains of Song Jiang City had not yet been developed as tourist attractions, so they did not walk on the official road. Because of the rain, the road was even more difficult to recognize, so everyone quickly got lost.
Fortunately, Meng Rusong found a cave and they quickly hid inside.
Ou Yangbo and Situ Dashan used some dry branches to start a fire, and the few of them started to roast their clothes in front of the fire. Suddenly, Ding Changzai exclaimed and pointed to the depths of the cave and shouted, "What is that?"
Everyone turned their heads and looked. It turned out that in the depths of the cave, there was a light blue flame that was faintly shining.
"Haha, this is probably the bone of some beast. After a long time, the phosphorus inside spontaneously combusted in the air. It's not a big deal!" Liu Zhenhai had traveled extensively, so he was knowledgeable, so he said it directly.
Although everyone had not seen it before, they had heard of these things, so they put away their curiosity.
After a while, when everyone's clothes were dry, the few of them took out the food that they brought with them. They sat in the cave and ate and drank. It was like camping, which had a different flavor.
By the time everyone was full, the sky had darkened. Everyone had nothing to do, so Meng Rusong suggested, "Guys, why don't we play a game?"
"What game?" Ding Changzai was already bored out of his mind.
"Let's guess what animal's bone is that will-o '-the-wisp?" said Meng Rusong.
"Alright, since we have nothing to do!" Situ Dashan nodded, "Then let me guess first. I guess it's a wolf!"
"Impossible, how can a wolf die in a cave? I think it's a rabbit that was brought here by the wolf to eat!" said Ouyang Bo.
"I think it's a fox!" said Ding Changzai.
"What fox? I think it's most likely a wild cat!" Meng Rusong waved his hand and said, "Oh yeah, Old Liu, what did you say?"
"What did I say? It's a dead person's bone. " Liu Zhenhai said faintly. When he was young, he often dealt with dead people and cemeteries, so the first thing that came to his mind was a dead person's bone.
"Ah? Dead person? Old Liu, are you kidding me? How can there be a dead person here? "Ding Changzai laughed in disbelief.
"Do you believe me? Then how about we go and take a look?" Liu Zhenhai also laughed, "Since we have all guessed it, why don't we go and verify it together?"
Liu Zhenhai's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone, so the few of them walked towards the will-o '-the-wisp.
When everyone saw what it was, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. Liu Zhenhai was actually right, it was a dead person's skeleton! Beside the skeleton, there was something that looked like a bag.
Looking at the degree of weathering of the skeleton, they knew that it was definitely not from the recent Qing Dynasty.
"You're right, it's a dead person's bone!" Ding Changzai said in disbelief, "Oh yeah, take a look, what could be in this bag?"
"Gold and silver treasures?" Situ Dashan laughed.
Meng Rusong picked up the bag and shook it twice in his hand and said, "It's quite light, it doesn't look like there's anything valuable in it!"
So everyone opened the bag out of curiosity. There really wasn't anything valuable in it, there were a few tattered clothes, a few pieces of sheepskin, and the most valuable thing was a few banknotes from Fu Kang Bank. But now, other than the value of the banknotes, it couldn't be exchanged for silver. Fu Kang Bank was a bank established by Hu Xueyan in the Qing Dynasty. It used to have branches all over China, but it declined until it went bankrupt. It seemed that everyone's guess was right, the owner of this bag had been dead for almost a century.
The night was long, and no one was in the mood to sleep. Especially when it was raining outside, the cold and wet environment made it even more difficult for people to fall asleep. The few of them had nothing to do, so they studied the pieces of sheepskin. After studying it, they were shocked. It turned out that it was a map!
After the few of them pieced together the map, they found that the map was exactly the mountain range they were currently in. At the steep back of the mountain, there was a five-pointed star with the words "Death Valley" written on it.
