The first thousand five hundred and forty-four chapters left car and horse 2
I looked at Old Man Zuo with a half-smile, but he felt frightened by what I saw, but he didn't dare to speak casually.
It didn't take long for Old Man Zuo's hair to fall out one by one, and the wrinkles on his face were rapidly deepening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Old Man Zuo grabbed his hair in panic: "Young Master, spare your life, Young Marshal, please spare your life! I really didn't do anything illegal. I swear, I swear by my original god."
I raised my hand slightly and said, "Duanxiang, give him a chance to speak."
Nie Xiaochun cut Huang Xiang into two pieces with one finger.
Old Man Zuo's hair no longer fell down.
I said calmly: "Stand up and find a place to sit and talk."
Old man Zuo found a chair, sat down opposite me in a polite manner, and said honestly: "You two gentlemen, I really haven't done anything illegal."
"Back then, my Zuo family ancestors relied on Tongyang chariots and horses to do a lot of things in the Yin and Yang realms and made a lot of friends."
"Later, the second master of the Zuo family, not knowing what happened, broke into Fengdu City directly."
"As soon as my ancestors saw the carriages and horses entering Fengdu City, they knew that trouble was coming for the Zuo family. He didn't care about his brother's life or death, so he drove the carriages and ran out of the underworld."
"The ancestors knew that the Zuo family was finished, so they hid their concubine and son who were raising outside before the ghosts arrived."
"My family is the only one who saved their lives."
"That child was later Zuo Hanyue, the ancestor of the Zuo family."
When I heard this, I pondered: "So, the Zuo family can no longer be regarded as the original Zuo family?"
Ye Yang also nodded and said: "No wonder they can escape the pursuit of the underworld."
In ancient times, the hierarchical system was strict. Children born from concubines could be included in the family tree, but they could not inherit the family business. Children born from other concubines did not even have the right to be included in the family tree.
Although the children raised by the ancestors of the Zuo family outside also have the surname Zuo, they are not from the Zuo family in a strict sense.
It seems that the ancestor of the Zuo family raised his wife and children outside the home in preparation for the day when he would end up with his whole family being raped.
Old Man Zuo continued: "Yes, ancestor Zuo Hanyue established another ancestor and continued the Zuo family."
"Originally, according to the wishes of my ancestor, Zuo Hanyue, I wanted my ancestor Zuo Hanyue to escape from the art and live a peaceful life."
"However, our ancestor Zuo Hanyue has been used to living a life of luxury and fine food with his ancestors, and if he is suddenly asked to live a miserable life, how can he bear it?"
"My ancestor left in a hurry and didn't bring anything valuable with him. The children of the Zuo family didn't even have the capital to start a business. They tried several different jobs, but they could only barely eat enough."
"Zuo Hanyue has been saying: The Zuo family relies on Tongyang's carriages and horses to make a living. Without the secret skill, what else can the Zuo family do?"
"But grandma said she wouldn't let him touch the secret arts, and even threatened him with death."
"When Grandma Ancestor was alive, Zuo Hanyue did not dare to mention the matter of starting Tongyang's carriage and horse again."
"It wasn't until his grandma passed away that he found out the secret technique of Tongyang's chariots and horses based on a few words from his ancestors."
When I heard this, I interrupted him and said, "Do you know how Zuo Hanyue obtained the secret technique?"
Old Man Zuo shook his head and said: "I don't know this, but..."
Old Man Zuo said after a pause: "Ancestor Zuo Hanyue once left a will, saying that it can only be opened when the Zuo family is in trouble."
"I think our ancestors probably left something similar back then."
"Yeah!" I nodded and said, "Go on."
Old Man Zuo continued: "Later, Zuo Hanyue also practiced secret skills and reorganized Tongyang's carriages and horses. However, he did not dare to go to the underworld to take business, so he kept taking business from ghosts, gods and magicians."
"In these years, we have only traveled to the forbidden places of ghosts and gods to do some small business."
"I really didn't break the rules!"
I stood up and walked to the corpse: "Zuo, I think your business is quite big!"
"There are more than a dozen Tongyang chariots and horses alone. This guy's nostrils are about to turn to the sky. No one takes them seriously."
"You told me that you were doing a small business? Do you think I would believe it?"
My eyes suddenly turned cold: "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for completely erasing your Zuo family."
"Everything I said is true!" Old Man Zuo was about to cry: "Master Li, if I tell a lie, you will kill my whole family, and I will never say anything."
I turned around and said, "Old Zuotou, are you playing 'squeezing out toothpaste' with me? I'll ask you something, and you'll say something. If I don't ask, you won't say anything!"
I lowered my head and looked at Lao Zuotou: "Let me ask you, where do all the dangerous things that appear in the world come from?"
"Who brought that yellow spring lotus flower in the coffin door from the underworld?"
Old Man Zuo was so frightened that he knelt on the ground on the spot: "That wasn't me, it wasn't me. That was done by someone from another branch of the Zuo family. It really wasn't."
"My family has an explicit order not to do business in the underworld. We have never been to the underworld."
Ye Yang and I looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
