Chapter 168: Charge

Decades ago, the Lei family was one of the largest clan in Yanbei. The members of the Lei clan were also extremely united. Whenever a major event happened, the clan leader would decide, and then the clan would advance and retreat together.
The Lei family's ancestors allowed them to stand out among the aristocratic families in Yanbei, but at the same time they also caused their family to suffer annihilation in the man-made disaster decades ago, and they were killed by the Liao people.
So now, although the Lei family's name is still loud, only the Lei Ting is left behind.
Lei Ting asked Mrs. Lei to go to the funeral today, but every elder from the Lei clan who has a past elder whose identity and generation is alive will stand up and obstruct her.
Unfortunately, after the death of Mrs. Lei, the Lei family now has the biggest thunder.
So even if there was a lot of rumors outside, Lei's up and down became uncertain. After dawn, the preparations for the funeral were still going on in an orderly manner.
Lei Zhen, the second master of the Lei family, was also exceptionally quiet this day, standing in the mourning hall with his niece in his arms, the young face no longer had the usual bright smile, only a solemn look.
"Uncle, is grandmother going to be a today?" Lei Pan'er leaned in Lei Zhen's arms and kept looking at the closed coffin, trying to endure the tears in his eyes not to let them fall.
The four-year-old child still doesn’t understand what death is. She only knows that her grandmother is going to leave her for a long journey first. Although her uncle told her that grandmother is going to a better place than home, they will also go in the future. She still feels a little sad. .
Lei Pan'er's small appearance made people feel distressed. Lei Ting returned 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 brother went to find him and told him last night.
When Lei Zhen heard that his grandmother was going to have funeral today, he couldn't help but quarrel with his elder brother. This was the first brotherly disagreement in so many years. But when the elder brother told him all the facts, he couldn't say a word.
The suicide of my grandmother, the burden on my brother's shoulders, the future of the Lei family. These things are like a mountain that appeared out of thin air and suddenly pressed towards him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He will not forget that the eldest brother, who has always been steady, with red eyes, held his shoulder with one hand, the pressure on his hand seemed to crush his shoulder bones: "The Lei family nowadays is a big ship that looks stable on the outside. In fact, the inside is riddled with holes, and the slightest storm can't help it. Second brother, the Lei family now can't tolerate you to grow up."
Manager Liu Gui rushed in from the outside, without seeing Lei Zhen and Lei Pan'er standing next to him, he went straight to Lei Ting.
Lei Zhen knew that Liu Gui was his brother's confidant. Seeing his appearance, he immediately thought that things outside had changed, and immediately picked up Lei Pan'er and walked towards Lei Ting.
When I walked in, I happened to hear Liu Gui reporting to Lei Ting: "...it suddenly collapsed, and the road was blocked for most of the time."
"What's the matter?" Lei Zhen couldn't help asking.
Lei Ting turned his head and glanced at his younger brother, and said blankly, "The road leading to Qiongji Mountain has collapsed."
The Qiongji Mountain is very famous in Yanbei, and it can be regarded as a famous mountain. However, the young ladies would not choose this mountain for their spring trips, not only because the mountain is gentle and there is no temple, but because it is. A yin mountain dedicated to the dead.
Every famous local family in Yunyang City has ancestral graves there, and ancestors have been buried there for generations.
I heard that when the Liao people occupied Yanbei, a Liao nobleman once had the idea of ​​burial goods on the Qiongji Mountain, but it was a pity that he fell to his death at the foot of the mountain for some reason, and within a year all the young and old at home suffered from strange diseases. Empty.
From then on, no one dared to make the idea of ​​a tomb in Chung Chi Mountain.
Lei's ancestral grave is also on the Qiongji Mountain. The real Mrs. Lei Tai Liu can't even find her grave now, but this "Mrs. Lei Tai" who was originally an outside room is going to enter the ancestral grave.
"It collapsed? Can it pass?" Lei Ting was taken aback, frowning and asked. Although his elder brother told him that today may be uneasy, but when he really met, he still felt unhappy.
Liu Gui bowed his head and said, "The little one has sent someone over to dig up the rock and soil, but it looks like it will take at least two hours."
Lei Ting looked at the coffin in the mourning hall. He couldn't see any emotion in his dark eyes. He said for a while: "Send more people over and dig up the road as soon as possible. In addition, you personally take people to explore, is there any other way? Can go up the mountain."
Liu Gui already knew the whole plan. Even though the funeral was blocked at this time, the Lei family had to do everything possible 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.
Lei Zhen beckoned the maids to come over and asked them to take Lei Pan'er back to the yard to eat something.
When Lei Pan'er left, Brother Lei Ting and Lei Zhen started quarreling because of their differences. Later, it was spread outside that the second master Lei opposed his elder brother to bury his grandmother in a hurry. At this moment, the road suddenly collapsed.
It is a pity that Thunder refused, so the two brothers quarreled. In the end, it was Uncle Lei who was afraid of embarrassment, so he pulled his brother away and resolved it privately.
Father Han was still in Yunyang City at the moment. After hearing the report from his subordinates about the Lei family, Han Dongshan's face showed a smile: "When will the Liu family arrive?"
The subordinate replied, "I'm afraid it will take three or four hours to reach Yunyang City. The wife of the Liu family is too old and is sick on the road. The carriage dare not drive."
Han Dongshan frowned: "I want to see people before the hour!"
"but……"
As soon as Han Dongshan looked over, the subordinate dared not speak, and hurriedly retreated.
"Father, Mrs. Lei Tai committed suicide. This shouldn't be wrong." Han Dongshan's only son, Han Xianren, had been standing by Han Dongshan, and said aloud at this moment.
Han Xianren is a middle-aged man with a handsome face. He has a more refined temperament and looks like a good-talker. He spends most of the time dealing with the affairs of the Han family in Yanbei in Yunyang City.
"This is natural. I asked the doctor who asked the old lady to have a peace of mind. She is sturdy, how can she die? It's just a person who wants to avoid the Liu family." Han Dongshan sneered, "Unfortunately, this time It's just a dying struggle, the Lei family must lose!"
It is not that Han Dongshan has not sent someone to investigate the cause of Mrs. Lei's death. However, the Lei family also guarded them, so after Mrs. Lei's death, very few people saw her body.
But now the Lei family dog ​​jumped over the wall and asked Mrs. Lei Tai to stop the coffin for three days and bury her in hastily. Han Dongshan was already certain that Mrs. Lei's death was absolutely inseparable from the Lei family.
"Now that the Lei family is in a hurry to go to the funeral, they must know that the members of the Liu family are not far from Yunyang City. They want to rush Mrs. Lei into the soil before the Liu family comes, so that the cause of Mrs. Lei's death will be concealed and her identity It won't be exposed." Han Xianren speculated.
Han Dongshan also agrees with this judgment.
"Then what are we going to do next? Or wait for the Liu family to come and expose her as a counterfeit. The real Laitai wife is already dead?"
Han Dongshan thought for a while, smiled slightly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Do not."
Han Xianren frowned and looked at his father. Han Xianren was a little afraid of his father. Even he, a son, often didn't know what his father was thinking.
"The old lady of the Lei family is dead. Even if I let the Liu family expose her, she is still unprovoked now. At best, the world has doubts about their Lei family. If you want to make the Lei family completely defeated, you must take advantage of the victory. But now The opportunity has come, and the Lei family is afraid that he will die in his own hands this time."
Han Dongshan laughed as he spoke.
"What does the father mean?" Han Xianren's aptitude is not very good. He is not only inferior to his own Lao Tzu, but also inferior to his son. So over the years, he has always followed Han Dongshan's orders.
However, he also understands that he has two burdens and will discuss everything with Han Dongshan and never act rashly.
Han Dongshan was actually dissatisfied with this son, but aptitude is a natural thing, and Han Dongshan has no choice but to be grateful that his grandson is promising. Therefore, over the years, Han Dongshan has always treated his son with the attitude of his subordinates, but he cultivated and demanded his only grandson as an heir.
However, Father Han was in a good mood today, so instead of showing his son a face, he smiled and said, "I want the Liu Family to take Lei Family to court!"
Han Xianren was taken aback: "What are you accusing them of?"
"murder."
