Chapter 599: The Mystery of Wealth

"Gangmaster Zhong is the eldest son of the previous Dongting Lake Water Gangmaster, the grandson of the former former gang leader. The three generations of the Zhong family have galloped in the waters of Dongting Lake for fifty or sixty years and have accumulated a lot of wealth." Aunt Mei nodded when she heard this, "Especially, Gangmaster Zhong, who has been in charge of the waters of Dongting Lake for more than 20 years, is famous in the waters of Dongting Lake. Everyone in the past worships them. The Cao Gang and the government have repeatedly invaded each other and were repelled by him."

When Lian'er and Bai Yu heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other again. Although Aunt Mei spoke extremely obscurely, saying that the three generations of the Zhong family galloped in the waters of Dongting Lake for fifty or sixty years was that they had robbed the waters of Dongting Lake for fifty or sixty years. Zhong Feiyang's reputation was probably because he was more fierce than his ancestors, which made all the caravans passing by frightened and afraid of avoiding it, so they attracted the siege of the Cao Gang and the government.

For the younger generation of Dongting Lake, Dongting Dragon King Zhong Feiyang is just a historical symbol. Everyone knows very little about it, but they only know that he died in the official attack twenty years ago.

The fact that Zhong Feiyang has huge wealth is the secret of Dongting Lake. Except for a few core figures, others don’t know anything about it. Dongting Ten Owls have been looking for this wealth for twenty years, but unfortunately there is no clue. It seems to have evaporated from the world, or it has never appeared.

However, Dongting Ten Owls would never think that this wealth had not appeared, nor would they believe that they would evaporate on earth. In addition to You Wuniang, Huang Haibo, Ye Hainiu and others followed Zhong Feiyang to rob the fleet when they were young, and also went ashore to grab wealthy families. The robbed gold, silver and jewelry were transported to Junshan, but no one of them saw it later.

If it weren't for the priceless thousand-year-old snow ginseng, then the secret room in Zhong Feiyang's home only had more than one thousand assets. Compared with the wealth stolen, these were simply a drop in the bucket and were not worth mentioning.

Huang Haibo once asked Zhong Feiyang's family, but unfortunately no one knew where Zhong Feiyang hid the wealth. The only person who knew that the wealth was Zhong Feiyang's eldest son Zhong Zheng, who escaped from Junshan under the escort of his confidants when Huang Haibo led his people to kill him, escaped from Junshan and disappeared without a trace.

Huang Haibo and Ye Hainiu originally thought Zhong Zheng would take revenge measures, but just like that wealth, Zhong Zheng had gone where he had gone for nearly twenty years and had no news.

Although I don’t know where Zhong Feiyang hid the wealth, there is one thing that Huang Haibo and Ye Hainiu can be sure of, that is, they must still be in Junshan. The two have been searching for Junshan several times, but the result is disappointing. The two almost turned Junshan over, but they still found nothing.

"Aunt Mei, what is the relationship between that Dao Ren Wang and Gang Master Zhong, why did he keep this wealth for Gang Master Zhong?" In surprise, Bai Yu remembered something and asked in confusion. Zhong Feiyang was dead, why did he still hold on to this wealth? Anyway, he couldn't take it out. It would be better to hand it over to Huang Haibo, the leader of the Dongting Lake Water Gang, and he could still enjoy endless wealth.

"I don't know this." Aunt Mei's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then she shook her head at Bai Yu.

In fact, Aunt Mei knew why Wang Daoren had been guarding that wealth in the Dragon King Temple for twenty years and why she had deceived her here, but she could not tell Lian'er and Bai Yuming, because it involved the rebellion between Huang Haibo and Ye Hainiu twenty years ago.

For the people on Junshan, twenty years, the official army captured Junshan, killed Zhong Feiyang and his confidant family, and a life-long trouble came.

But for Aunt Mei, she learned from Wang Daoren that the reason why Junshan was quietly captured by the official army was because Dongting Ten Owls acted as an insider and killed the secret sentries arranged on the periphery of Junshan, which made the people of Junshan know nothing about the attack of the official army.

In fact, some clues can be seen from one situation, that is, after the official army climbed Junshan, they were all Zhong Feiyang's confidants. Although the others were looted by the official army, they did not hurt their lives. But they could accurately know where Zhong Feiyang's confidant family members lived, there was definitely an insider on Junshan.

As for why Dao Ren Wang tricked Aunt Mei to the Dragon King Temple and imprisoned her, it was because she was ordered by Huang Haibo and killed Zhong Feiyang's family. The true identity of Dao Ren Wang was Zhong Feihong, Zhong Feihong, the third brother of Dao Ren, was sent to Wuchang City as soon as she was born. When she was a teenager, she became a disciple of Dao Ren Li, the head of the Dragon King Temple at that time. Dao Ren Li was also from the Zhong family and was Zhong Feiyang's fifth uncle.

The Zhong family trusted the most about the robbed wealth, of course, their own people, so they had already set up this plan since Zhong Feiyang's grandfather, so they let their family protect the wealth.

Dongting Shi Xiao killed the old and small Zhong family. How could Wang Daoren give the wealth to his enemies? Therefore, he has been enduring and looking for opportunities for revenge. Aunt Mei, who often comes to the temple to pray for blessings, naturally became his target. Compared with other Dongting Shi Xiao, what Wang Daoren hated the most was Huo Laojiu, who killed all the Zhong family back then!

Originally, Wang Daoren's life experience and the wealth here were a huge secret. Wang Daoren would never allow it to be revealed, and only dead people could keep the secret better. Therefore, he cruelly killed Aunt Mei's maid Xiao Xing and others after getting tired of playing with them.

If you pay close attention to the girls, you will find that they were all relatives of the lake bandits who participated in the killing of the Zhong family at that time. Wang Daoren was using this method to retaliate against his enemies.

Dongting Shi Xiao participated in the incident that caused Junshan to be captured twenty years ago. Even Aunt Mei had not heard any news from Huo Laojiu before. If she were not Wang Daoren, she would still be in the dark now, so naturally she could not let Lian'er and Bai Yu know, after all, this was not a glorious thing.

Lian'er and Bai Yu both noticed something from Aunt Mei's strange eyes, and felt that Aunt Mei knew the reason, but since Aunt Mei refused to say something, they naturally didn't want to ask, but they just kept it in their hearts.

"Aunt Mei, do you have a rope here?" After a while of greeting with Aunt Mei, Lian'er suddenly remembered something and asked in a sweet voice.

"Rope?" Aunt Mei felt a little surprised when she heard this and looked at Lian'er in confusion. She didn't know what she wanted to do with the rope. Do you want to go up from that slide?

"Aunt Mei, that young master Li lost his mind after eating snow ginseng for thousands of years and became extremely powerful. If he wakes up and goes crazy later, the consequences will be unimaginable." Bai Yu understood Lian'er's meaning and explained in a sweet voice.

"There is no rope, but you can use the bed sheet." Aunt Mei came over and said with a smile. She had just heard Lian'er talk about Tan Zong about Lian'er and Bai Yu, and thought that Mr. Li was really unlucky. Not only was she riding a caravan boat and was stunned by Lian'er with a "god" in Chenglingji, but she was also accidentally injured by Bai Yu's follower in Junshan, and her intelligence was damaged. She mistakenly surrendered to the thousand-year-old snow ginseng, causing the whole Junshan pheasant to jump into chaos, and fell to a point where she was bound by Lian'er and Bai Yu.

Lian'er and Bai Yu nodded when they heard this, cut a few sheets that Aunt Mei brought with scissors, and then dripped in water to the stone chamber where the slide was located, and tied Tan Zong's hands and feet, who was still sleeping there, firmly.

After tied up Tan Zong tightly, Lian'er and Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief. With these water-filled bed sheets, Tan Zong would not want to easily break free.

"It's a bit cold here, so cover it with him." At this time, Aunt Mei walked in with a quilt and handed it to Lian'er. Although Tan Zong looked a little embarrassed now, he was a guest of Dongting Lake and needed to take care of him.

"Thank you Aunt Mei." After hearing this, Lian'er quickly thanked Aunt Mei, and then covered the quilt with Tan Zong. She had been trying to guard against Tan Zong before, but she didn't think of this at all.

The situation is very complicated now, and I don’t know when they will be able to go out. If Tan Zong gets frost sick, it will be troublesome.

Seeing this, Bai Yu quickly leaned over to help Lian'er cover Tan Zong with her quilt. Looking at the two of them who were both cautious and cramped, Aunt Mei smiled slightly at first, probably this was the first time that Lian'er and Bai Yu took care of others. The action of covering the quilt seemed a little unfamiliar. Then she glanced at Tan Zong and landed her eyes on Lian'er, with a hint of unaware smile on the corner of her mouth:

It seems that You Wuniang is planning for Lian'er's lifelong affairs. As a woman's family, she can't stay in Dongting Lake for the rest of her life, and Tan Zong's appearance, character, and family background are enough to reassure You Wuniang.

Before being imprisoned by the King Taoist in this stone chamber of the Dragon King Temple, Aunt Mei had dealt with You Wuniang and knew that You Wuniang was a very smart woman. Otherwise, how could she become the butler of Dongting Lake and deal with Huang Haibo and Ye Hainiu.

Although when Aunt Mei married Huo Laojiu, Lian'er was already two or three years old, she still learned about Lian'er's life experience from Huo Laojiu and knew that You Wuniang was Lian'er's biological mother. As for who Lian'er's father was, I'm afraid that no one would know except Huang Haibo and Ye Hainiu, even Huo Laojiu, who is the Ten Owls of Dongting.

However, since You Wuniang was once the courtesan of Wuchang Mansion, Aunt Mei can be sure that Lian'er's biological father is either a prominent family or a talented man with great background. Otherwise, how could he be able to capture You Wuniang's eyes?

After a while, Aunt Mei's eyes fell on Tan Zong who was sleeping again, and her eyebrows frowned slightly. Judging from the fact that Mr. Li was carrying so many silver notes, he must have been from a famous family in Jiangnan. If this is the case, can Lian'er, who was born in a bandit, be able to tolerate her?

However, You Wuniang has always been cautious in doing things. If she was not sure, she would never attract Tan Zong to Junshan. How did she plan to solve this obstacle?

You Wuniang is going to let Lian'er recognize her ancestors in the future? Suddenly, Aunt Mei thought of a possibility and her eyes couldn't help but look surprised.
