Turbulent Times Chapter 517: Sneak into Yu’s old house

(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of ‘Haihu 888’.)

The peaceful day passed, and after nightfall, the gates of all the squares in Xianyang City were closed. .

Located in the best position in the middle of Xianyang City, there are many figures outside the high gate and high wall of the Yu family's ancestral house, and the guards and generals on duty are patrolling around the house as if facing an enemy.

Since the first batch of unknown people visited Yu's house at night more than a month ago and broke the tranquility of the Yu family's ancestral house, the Yu family has never been peaceful. There are more and more, the strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the frequency of appearance is getting higher and higher. This is due to the profound background of the Yu Mansion for hundreds of years. Many guards and servants have been servants of the family for generations, and they are loyal. Coupled with the help of the Xianyang County government, otherwise, if it were an ordinary noble mansion, the family would have already been ruined.

But to this day, people in Yu's house are already panicked, and some servants have started to leave secretly.

Every night, the ancestors of the Yu family divided all the trilogy, guards, and generals in the mansion into three groups, and took turns to guard the huge Yu family's ancestral house.

However, what should happen is still happening, the person who should be missing is still missing, and the master who should break in is still breaking in. Because there are too many unknown masters who want to enter the ancestral house of the Yu family, the guards and generals of the Yu family often lose sight of others.

After midnight, it is similar to what happened every night these days, and it will appear again at home...

The Yu family's ancestral house is divided into four courtyards, east, west, north, south, and north. The north courtyard is the main courtyard, where Yu Chongyao, the old ancestor of the Yu family, lives. Chaobian lives in the south courtyard. Yu Zhengchao's third uncle, Yu Zhongcheng, lived in the east courtyard, while the west courtyard was where other tribes lived.

It was late at night, but Yu Zhongcheng and Yu Zhengchao were still in Yu Chongyao's room in the North Campus. Any tossing around may kill the old man. At this juncture, neither Yu Zhongcheng nor Yu Zhengchao dared to leave Yu Chongyao half a step away, especially they were absolutely unwilling to let the other party stay here alone.

At this time, Yu Chongyao was already asleep, and Yu Zhongcheng and Yu Zhengchao were half lying on the soft couch in a corner of the room to rest, with tired faces on their faces. The former squinted his eyes, not sure if he was asleep or just dozed off. Yu Zhengchao, on the other hand, kept his eyes open, quietly watching the flickering candlelight on the desk.

In the past few days, he has tried his best to find all the places in the ancestral house where the ancestor may hide the treasure, but he has not found the "Longevity Scripture". After the ancestor fell ill, he did not dare to ask again. I won't tell him, and the second is that if the old man dies in anger and breaks the inheritance of the "Longevity Scripture", it will really be over.

But Yu Zhengchao still believed that his ancestor really had the "Longevity Scripture", so he never gave up looking for it. Especially after receiving the urgent letter from my father today, I understand that the "Longevity Scripture" must be found, and then shared with the emperor. People who have coveted hearts in the Bible retreat in spite of difficulties.

At this moment, Yu Zhengchao glanced at his ancestor, and secretly hated him. This old man is really confused. He has already reported to his ancestor the matter of the Emperor's decree asking for the "Longevity Scripture" today. , but the other party still refused to admit the existence of "Longevity Scripture", let alone show it to him.

He sneered a few times silently, and Yu Zhengchao's eyes flickered coldly. He has been thinking about what his ancestors care about most now, or whose life and death he cares about most. The final answer was his third uncle, so he has been thinking about whether to use the death of his third uncle to threaten his ancestors to hand over the "Longevity Scripture".

Of course it is not easy to do this, because in the ancestral house, the ancestor is still the most effective person to speak, followed by his third uncle Yu Zhongcheng, followed by him Yu Zhengchao, and only his father Yu Zhongheng came over in person. He could suppress the third uncle and make the guards and generals in the old house obedient, but he couldn't. The only man he could use was the three hundred guards he brought from the capital.

The clapper knocked four times outside the house, and at midnight, a cool breeze blew into the house, and Yu Zhongcheng woke up suddenly on the other side, and Yu Zhengchao quickly closed his eyes to hide the murderous intent in his eyes. Yu Zhongcheng didn't notice Yu Zhengchao's strangeness at all, because he saw the candlelight on the table swaying rapidly, and saw the shadows in the room swaying with the candlelight, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

…

…

Inside and outside the Yu family's ancestral house, some of the Yu family's guards and family generals held swords and pressed swords, as if they were facing an enemy.

Originally, unlike the capital city, Xianyang City had no curfew at night, but under the control of Yu's family, Xianyang City has also had a curfew for more than a month. After nightfall, all the gates of the twenty-one workshops in Xianyang are closed. No matter the nobles, officials or ordinary people in the city can only move within the scope of their own courtyards. After staying there, they will be whipped ten times if they are light, or locked up and sent to prison if they are serious.

The curfew is indeed a good policy, at least it will save the Yu family a lot of trouble right now. Because it isolates the people of the whole city in one market after another. The market is like a cage. Anyone who wants to get out of a market must climb over the walls, or climb the walls, at least as long as the enemy sneaks into the house in large numbers. The ancestral house will be exposed early.

There is still a curfew in the city tonight. As soon as it was time to turn on the lights, the officials of the fangs closed the doors of the fangs, and the streets of each fang were empty. Except for Marquis Wu, who was watching the night, there was not even a dog that committed the night.

…

In the middle of the night, the square officials were patrolling the street, and the clapper knocked four times, which was exactly the right time.

There was a movement in a narrow alley not far from the Yu family's ancestral house.

There are sewers on both sides of the narrow alley. Yes, the sewers existed as early as the Qin Dynasty. Most of the things that modern people can think of can actually be imagined by ancient people.

Shen Guang, dressed in nocturnal black, stood up from the sewer, shaking off the dirty water and mud from his body. He just rushed to Xianyang from the capital at noon today, the two places are not far away, and he arrived in half a day. After arriving, he summoned the ghost-eyed people in Xianyang City to deploy according to the plan.

The reason why I chose to implement the plan tonight is because I have already received news that three waves of people will invade Yu's ancestral house at the same time tonight. Guang personally infiltrated the Yu family's ancestral house to implement the most important part of the plan set by Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu - let Yu's family first have a handy "Longevity Scripture".
