Scheme of the Official Descendant

Decades ago, the Lei family was one of the largest families in Yanbei, and the members of the Lei family were also extremely united. Whenever a major event occurred, the patriarch would make decisions, and the whole family would advance and retreat together.

The Lei family's ancestral precepts allowed them to stand out among the aristocratic families in Yanbei, but at the same time, it also caused their family to be wiped out in a man-made disaster decades ago, and they were taken over by the Liao people.

So now, although the Lei family's name is still resounding, only Lei Ting, who slipped through the net, is left.

Lei Ting asked Mrs. Lei to go to the funeral today, but if there is still a past elder in the Lei family who is said to be alive in terms of status and seniority, they will stand up to obstruct it.

It's a pity that after Mrs. Lei's death, the current Lei family is the biggest.

So even though there was already a lot of rumors outside, everyone in the Lei family became suspicious. After dawn, preparations for the funeral were still going on in an orderly manner.

Lei Zhen, the second master of the Lei family, was also very quiet this day, standing in the mourning hall with his niece in his arms, his young face no longer had the usual bright smile, only a solemn expression.

"Little uncle, is grandma going to become a fairy today?" Lei Pan'er leaned against Lei Zhen's arms and kept looking at the closed coffin, trying hard to hold back the tears from falling down.

The four-year-old child still doesn't know what death is. She only knows that her grandmother is going to leave her for a long trip. Although the little uncle told her that the place where her grandmother is going is better than home, and they will go there in the future, she still feels a little sad .

Lei Pan'er's small appearance made people feel distressed, Lei Ting came back to his senses, tried to put a smile on his face, and lowered his head to comfort his niece in a low voice.

It's just that he was thinking about what his elder brother went to him last night and told him.

Lei Zhen couldn't help arguing with his brother when he heard that his grandmother was going to have a funeral today. This was the first time in years that the brothers had a disagreement. But when his elder brother told him the whole truth, he was speechless.

The grandmother's suicide, the burden on the elder brother's shoulders, and the future of the Lei family. These things were like mountains that appeared out of thin air and suddenly pressed towards him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He will never forget that the calm elder brother held his shoulder with one hand with red eyes, and the pressure on his hand seemed to crush his shoulder bones: "The current Lei family is a big ship that looks stable on the outside. , In fact, the interior is already riddled with holes, and even the slightest storm can't stand it. Second brother, the current Lei family can't allow you to grow up slowly."

The steward Liu Gui hurried in from the outside, did not see Lei Zhen and Lei Pan'er standing beside him, and went straight to Lei Ting.

Lei Zhen knew that Liu Gui was his brother's confidant, seeing him like this, he immediately thought that something had changed outside, and immediately picked up Lei Pan'er and walked towards Lei Ting.

When he walked in, he happened to hear Liu Gui reporting to Lei Ting: "... suddenly collapsed, most of the road was blocked."

"What happened?" Lei Zhen couldn't help asking.

Lei Ting turned his head to look at his younger brother, and said expressionlessly: "A section of the mountain road leading to Qiongji Mountain has collapsed."

Qiongji Mountain is very famous in Yanbei, and it can be regarded as a famous mountain. However, young masters and ladies will not choose this mountain for spring outings, not only because the mountain is flat and there are no temples or Taoist temples, but because it is A yin mountain, dedicated to the dead.

All famous local families in Yunyang City have ancestral graves there, and their ancestors are buried there for generations.

I heard that when the Liao people occupied Yanbei, a Liao nobleman had the idea of ​​burial objects in Qiongji Mountain, but unfortunately he fell to his death at the foot of the mountain for some reason, and within a year, all the old and young in the family got strange diseases and died Empty.

Since then, no one has dared to make the idea of ​​burial in Qiongji Mountain.

The Lei family's ancestral grave is also on Qiongji Mountain. The real Mrs. Lei, Mrs. Liu, can't even find her grave now, but this "Mrs. Lei", who was originally a concubine, wants to enter the ancestral grave.

"Collapsed? Can it still pass?" Lei Ting was stunned and asked with a frown. Although my elder brother told him that today might not be a peaceful day, but it really happened, and I was still not happy.

Liu Gui bowed his head and said, "The little one has already sent someone to dig up the rocks and soil, but it seems that it will take at least two hours."

Lei Ting looked at the coffin in the mourning hall, without any emotion in his dark eyes, he said after a while: "Send more people over there, and dig the road as soon as possible. In addition, you take people to find out if there is another way Can go up the mountain."

Liu Gui already knew the whole plan. Although the funeral was blocked at this time, the Lei family would try their best to overcome it, making people think that the Lei family wanted to send Mrs. Lei's coffin up the mountain as soon as possible.

Liu Gui retreated in response.

Lei Zhen beckoned the maids to come over, and asked them to take Lei Pan'er back to the yard for something to eat first.

After Lei Pan'er left, Lei Ting and Lei Zhen quarreled for a while because of a disagreement. Later, it was rumored that Second Master Lei objected to his elder brother's hasty burial of his grandmother. At this moment, the road suddenly collapsed, indicating that the ancestors were furious and asked Uncle Lei to delay his grandmother's funeral.

It's a pity that Lei Ting refused, so the two brothers quarreled. In the end, Uncle Lei was afraid of embarrassment, so he dragged his brother away and settled it in private.

Mr. Han is still in Yunyang City at the moment. After listening to his subordinates report about Lei's family, a smile appeared on Han Dongshan's face: "When will the people from Liu's family arrive?"

The subordinate replied: "I'm afraid it will take three or four hours to arrive at Yunyang City. The old lady of the Liu family is getting sick on the way, so the carriage dare not drive."

Han Dongshan frowned: "I want to see people before Weishi!"

"But……"

When Han Dongshan looked over, the subordinate didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly retreated.

"Father, Mrs. Lei died by suicide. There should be no mistake about it." Han Xianren, Han Dongshan's only son, who had been standing on Han Dongshan's hands, said aloud at this moment.

Han Xianren is a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a more elegant temperament. He looks easy to talk to. He spends most of his time in Yunyang City dealing with the affairs of the Han family in Yanbei.

"It's natural. I asked the doctor who gave the old woman a safe pulse. She is so strong, how can she just die? It's just someone who wants to avoid the Liu family." Han Dongshan sneered, "Unfortunately, this time It's just a dying struggle, the Lei family must be defeated!"

As for the cause of Mrs. Lei's death, it's not that Han Dongshan didn't send someone to investigate. However, the Lei family was also guarding against them, so after Mrs. Lei's death, very few people saw her body.

But now that the Lei family dog ​​jumped the wall in a hurry and asked Mrs. Lei to stay in the coffin for three days before burying her hastily, Han Dongshan was certain that Mrs. Lei's death was definitely related to the Lei family himself.

"Now that the Lei family is in a hurry to go to the funeral, they must know that the Liu family is not far from Yunyang City. They want to bury Mrs. Lei before the Liu family arrives, so that the cause of Mrs. Lei's death will be covered up, and her identity will be revealed. It won't be exposed." Han Xianren speculated.

Han Dongshan also agreed with this judgment.

"Then what are we going to do next? Or wait until the Liu family arrives to expose her as a counterfeit, and the real Mrs. Lai Tai is already dead?"

Han Dongshan thought for a while, then smiled, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"No."

Han Xianren frowned and looked at his father. For his father, Han Xianren was a little afraid, even as a son, he often didn't know what his father was thinking.

"The old lady of the Lei family is already dead. Even if I let the Liu family expose her, there is no proof of her death. At most, it will cause the world to have doubts about their Lei family. If you want the Lei family to completely fall, you must pursue the victory. But now The opportunity has come, the Lei family may die in my own hands this time."

Han Dongshan laughed as he spoke.

"What does father mean?" Han Xianren's aptitude is not very good, he is not only inferior to his own father in terms of intelligence and intelligence, he is even inferior to his son. So these years, he has always followed Han Dongshan's orders.

But he also understands his own weight, and he will discuss everything with Han Dongshan, and never act recklessly.

Han Dongshan was actually dissatisfied with this son, but aptitude was something he was born with, and Han Dongshan had no choice but to be thankful that his grandson was a promising one. So these years, Han Dongshan has always treated his son as a subordinate, but he has cultivated and demanded his only grandson as an heir.

However, Mr. Han was in a good mood today, so he didn't give his son a bad look, but smiled and said: "I want the Liu family to sue the Lei family in court!"

Han Xianren was taken aback: "What are you suing them for?"

"murder."
