After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 334 Xu Family Past

There is the Xu family, whose ancestors are protected by dragons. The star map changes and treasures appear!

Yu Tingwan instantly grasped the key point of this sentence, treasure!

The last person who talked to her about the treasure was Yun Chu, and now someone else said something about the treasure.

This forced her to associate the two treasures together.

Xu Fulai's brows darkened as he said this, and his fingers clenched tightly. He would never forget what happened that year.

"Back then, my Xu family was considered a big family in the north. We had a lot of land and property, and some uncles were officials in the court. I was still young at the time, only six or seven years old. I only know that one time everyone in the family was very nervous, as if some important person was coming to our house.

In order to avoid offending important people, our parents and elders at home asked us children to stay away from them. However, I was playful when I was young, and the more the elders forbade me to do something, the more I wanted to do it. I would secretly run to the front yard to eavesdrop on the adults’ conversations.

In the end, I only heard this one sentence. It seemed that there was a conflict between my elder and the big shot. Not long after, I saw his back as he left.

In the days that followed, my grandfather often held me in his arms, sighed, and muttered something, but I was too young and a little impatient at the time, so I didn't remember much.

Then one day, my family suddenly received tragic news. Someone massacred the entire Xu family overnight, not even sparing the youngest baby in the Xu family!"

Xu Fulai looked at the table in front of him, took a deep breath and continued, "I ran to the house next door with my servants because I was playful at the time, and finally escaped. When I returned home, not a single person was breathing. My parents fell in a pool of blood, and everyone looked at me with wide eyes, as if they had seen something terrifying."

"Afterwards, I heard that all the gold, silver and land of my Xu family were confiscated into the national treasury. I also heard the imperial decree from the capital, which roughly meant that my Xu family was disloyal to Da Sheng. Although we have the dragon's protection, our crime is still unforgivable. Considering that the entire Xu family was exterminated, the guilt is offset. All the land owned by us will be handed over, and there will be no more Xu family members in the world."

Yu Tingwan frowned when he heard this. There was not much useful information in these words.

"Do you remember what your grandfather told you?"

Xu Fulai looked at Yu Tingwan, frowned and thought for a long time.

"I really don't remember much at the time. I just remember that my grandfather kept pulling me to repeat this sentence. He also said that this thing is a disaster for our Xu family. When our ancestors accepted it, it was an honor for the whole family, but now it is dangerous to our Xu family."

"Did your grandfather ever tell you about that thing or show you that thing?"

Xu Fulai shook his head again.

"No, when I was growing up, I thought about whether there was anything treasured in my home, but I don't know if it was because I was too young and my grandfather never showed it to me, or if it was taken away by someone, anyway, I never saw this thing from beginning to end."

After listening to him, Yu Tingwan didn't find many useful clues, but...

"Why is the decree to be disloyal to Dasheng? Didn't anyone of you find out who that person was? If he is a big shot, no matter how low-key he is, there must be traces. It's impossible that there is no trace at all, right?"

As a result, Xu Fulai and Shen Chenli looked at each other and then looked at Yu Tingwan.

"I found out something, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go to the capital to be a junior official in the Dali Temple!"

Yu Tingwan looked at this and that, then thought about what Xu Fu said, and frowned:

"Is it the emperor? The current emperor?"

They nodded at the same time, which made Yu Tingwan understand.

“So, when the emperor was still a prince, he knew that your Xu family had a secret treasure, and he wanted to use his status to pressure you to give it to him, but your grandfather didn’t agree.

Who knew that this man was not a magnanimous person, and directly hired assassins to exterminate your entire Xu family, and then went to the late emperor to make up a story, saying that your Xu family was disloyal to Da Sheng, causing your Xu family to not only face the extermination of the entire family and nowhere to seek justice, but even you, a member of the Xu family, can only survive by hiding your identity?"

People who heard this were very angry, especially now that Shen Haocang had become the emperor, Xu Fulai had even less chance to seek justice for the Xu family.

No wonder, no wonder he changed his name to Fu Lai, Xu Fu Lai!

That's the reason.

There was bitterness in Xu Fulai's eyes, and he probably hated the emperor more than Shen Chenli did.

"When I was young, I thought about overturning the Xu family's case. After he became the emperor, I felt that there was no hope. If I hadn't met the prince, I'm afraid Xu Fulai would have been just a little scholar and couldn't even serve as an official in the court."

But after he finished telling her about the things at home, Yu Tingwan didn't know what he wanted her to do to help him.

"If you want to find the murderer, you have already found him. You just need to wait for the opportunity to take revenge. Is there anything else you need my help with?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fulai took out a piece of cloth from his arms, which looked a little old, and then took out another piece of red and white dyed cloth from inside the cloth.

This piece looked even older. However, when Xu Fulai opened the cloth, Yu Tingwan realized that it was not dyed at all, but written in blood!

"This is?"

Xu Fulai carefully opened the cloth, then handed it to Yu Tingwan and said:

"This is the cloth that my grandfather hid in his arms before he died. There were only some simple words written on it to remind me, as if he knew I was still alive. It was only when I grew up that I realized that my grandfather had deliberately lured me away from home that night. Otherwise, I would not have survived, and he would not have left me this blood letter."

Yu Tingwan reached out and took the blood letter. From the content written on it, it seemed that there was nothing special about it. It was just like an ordinary instruction.

"It just says something telling you to live well. There's nothing special about it."

After saying that, Yu Tingwan looked at Xu Fulai for confirmation and saw him nod.

"Indeed, I was unable to think at that time. It was the servant who turned over my grandfather's body, revealing the cloth underneath. The servant gave me the cloth, then went to find some gold and silver, and took me away from the Xu family in a hurry, without even being able to collect the body for my family.

But I still want to find the thing that my grandfather mentioned. No matter what, that thing is the last thing left in our Xu family."

While listening to Xu Fulai's words, Yu Tingwan looked at the blood letter. Suddenly, he seemed to see something, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing. He couldn't help but look at it carefully.

The other three people couldn't help but look at each other when they saw how seriously she was watching. They all stared closely at Yu Tingwan's movements, wanting to see if she had discovered anything.

Sure enough, Yu Tingwan suddenly stood up and ran to the basin beside him. Just as he was about to dip the handkerchief into the water, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xu Fulai.

This is not her thing, it is someone else's family relic. She almost made a mistake!

"Can it be done?"
