The Chen family is a large family, and the ancestral graveyard is very large. The feng shui is occupied by the powerful clan. The Chen Yongren family's grave is in the outermost corner, and the grave is the place with the heaviest yin energy. Even during the day, Liu Yanzhi can see the wandering ghosts here, which are some negative energy bodies. Their existence causes the temperature of the entire cemetery to drop by two degrees Celsius. Under the Chen Liu family's grave, there is a stagnant black negative energy ball.

Liu Yanzhi could not talk to this group of energy, just like he could not talk to Bai Rice's soul who had been following him, but he could imagine how a weak woman without a husband would struggle to support her family, be bullied by relatives in the clan, and eventually die of hatred.

"Who is buried here?" Xiao Chen Zikun asked him.

"It's your uncle Chen Yongren's wife and son, and his name is Chen Zikun." Liu Yan pointed to the small tomb and said.

Xiao Chen Zikun nodded in a vague way.

It was drizzling in the sky. The winter in Hunan was cold and the path to the cemetery was wet. A few grasses on the side of the road were trembling in the wind. Crows were hovering in the sky. Liu Yanzhi bowed three times in front of the grave of his "siblings" and took his children back to the village with his little brothers.

This little brother is named Chen Aqing, who is a branch of the clan and lives by being a tenant. He is enthusiastic and kind. In terms of seniority, he should call Chen Yongren and call him Uncle Five.

"Uncle Fifth, is America far away? How long does it take to get there?" Chen Aqing asked with yearning.

"There is a Pacific Ocean between the United States and our Qing Dynasty. It takes three months to get there by boat. Why? Do you want to go to the United States? Being a Chinese worker is not a good way out, so why not go to Shanghai to travel." Liu Yanzhi had a good impression of this young man and persuaded him.

"I dare not go to the United States. Shanghai Beach is too far away, and Changsha City is almost the same." Chen Aqing said, "I have a cousin named Chen Asheng. I went to the United States with someone ten years ago. I heard that I opened a store in San Francisco. I haven't had a letter in the past few years. I don't know if it's dead or alive. It's too far away. I'm tens of thousands of miles away from home. I really don't know if it's too scary."

Liu Yanzhi's heart moved: "Chen Asheng, who did he go to the United States with?"

Aqing said: "Brother Asheng and Lord Lin are the ones who listen to him. After Lord Lin died, he accompanied the lady to the United States to find a son-in-law."

"Mr. Lin is the governor of Jiangdong? His name is Lin Huaiyuan, and the lady of the Lin family is Lin Su?"

"Uncle Fifth, how do you know?"

Liu Yanzhi laughed to the sky. He remembered that Lin Su was from Hunan. He didn't expect that after taking a few turns, he could get along with each other. This was really fate, but I don't need to talk about this with Aqing in detail, and he didn't understand it even after he said it.

With this relationship, Liu Yanzhi felt that Aqing was close, so he asked him what his fifth aunt had died of illness. Now Aqing stuttered and talked about him.

Liu Yanzhi felt something was strange, so he stopped and said seriously: "Aqing, do you think the fifth uncle is easy to fool? Your fifth aunt died of a crime. She didn't keep her eyes open in the coffin. You were deliberately hiding it from your fifth uncle. Are you afraid that your aunt will go to you at night?"

Chen Aqing looked around and wanted to speak but stopped. Liu Yanzhi knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Do you think Uncle Wu is not capable of taking revenge? What do you think is this?" He opened the suitcase, and there was a stack of clothes inside, with two shiny black mullets on the clothes.

Liu Yanzhi zied the gun in his hand, rubbed his hands on the heel of his leather shoes, and even without looking, he shot two black crows and fell to the ground.

Chen Aqing was stunned. Unexpectedly, the weak fifth uncle was actually a fierce double-gun powerful man. He knelt down and cried, "Uncle Fifth uncle, my aunt's injustice."

Liu Yan said straight: "Speak slowly, Uncle Wu will not let his relatives die with his eyes open."

There is a small house for the grave-seeing people at the entrance of the cemetery. Seeing that the grave-seeing people are not at home, the three of them sat in the house to shelter from the rain. When Chen Aqing talked about the cause of Aunt Wu's death, he was not very good at expressing his language skills and talked long for a long time. Liu Yan straightened the clues and the truth gradually surfaced and had a rough outline.

Chen Yongren is the fifth among the brothers of the Chen family, but his mother and only one sister had married another. He was the only son in the family. When he was seventeen, his family found him a wife through a matchmaker. He was the daughter of Liu from Huaminglou, the county. He was the same age as Yongren, and was well-educated and virtuous as a gentleman. After the two families got married, Chen's father died. Chen Yongren, who was out of control, was determined to make a breakthrough in the world. His old mother and his wife who were already pregnant could not control him, so he had to let him go his own way.

At first, Chen Yongren just wandered around Changsha City. Later, he met a group of friends from other places. He became even more wild. He actually left his mother and wife behind and wanted to travel across the ocean to Citigroup, America to do business. His family raised hundreds of taels of money for him and sent him to the carriage to Guangzhou with tears in his eyes. This separation lasted for ten years.

After Chen Yongren left, Chen Liu gave birth to a fat boy. According to the genealogy and the name Chen Yongren had prepared long ago, he named Chen Zikun. At first, Chen Yongren was doing business in Honolulu and sent money back. The family also sent him photos of his son, but later he gradually lost contact. People in the clan said that Chen Yongren died in a foreign land. Later, Chen Liu's son died of illness and had no descendants at home, only his old mother and young wife. The villains in the clan became coveted. A guy named Chen Yongtai relied on his nephew of the clan leader to occupy Chen Yongren's house and drove the old lady and Chen Liu to a dilapidated house outside the village.

Chen Liu was dissatisfied and found the clan leader to complain. The clan leader pretended to seek justice for her, but secretly didn't know what he did. In short, Chen Liu committed suicide by hanging his beam the next day. The old mother was in grief and angry, and no one took care of her. She died of illness soon after. Chen Liu's family reported to Ningxiang County Government, and the yamen also sent a coroner to perform a post-mortem. The master asked the case, but in the end he was fooled. The mother's family did not have the energy to sue for years and had to suffer a loss. In fact, everyone knows that Chen Liu died unjustly, and the group of people who occupied Chen Yongren's house and fields were forced to death.

After hearing this, Liu Yan sighed and said, "Aqing, don't tell anyone about what happened today, you understand."

Aqing's eyes were red and said, "Uncle, I have a question, please take care of yourself."

Liu Yanzhi sent Ah Qing with ten pieces of Yingyang, took Xiao Chen Zikun to Ningxiang County, first stayed at Yuelai Inn, and after dinner, he began to talk to his son.

"What should you do if you think this matter is?" Liu Yan asked directly.

"Kill all the bad guys to death." Xiao Chen Zikun gestured with both hands, and screamed with a thumping sound in his mouth.

"Child, today I will give you two idioms, one is called the courage of the ordinary man and the other is called the use of pride." Liu Yanzhi taught earnestly, "With my ability, it is okay to kill all the people in the village, but do you think that if you kill them, the people under the spring can rest in peace? No, killing is the easiest way, and it is the most technically inclusive. There are many ways to be more cruel than killing people. Do you want to see it?"

Xiao Chen Zikun nodded ignorantly.

Liu Yanzhi took out the dress bought in Hong Kong from the box and put it on, top hat, leather shoes, civilized stick, and covered with British wool cloak, Mo Jing's nose bridge, and took the famous post from the Prime Minister's Five-Class Zhangjing's Office in various countries to visit the county government.

Emperor Tiangao of Ningxiang County was far away, so how could he see a Beijing official post? Liu Yan claimed to be a friend of Zhou Jiarui, a fifth-ranked leader of the Zongli Yamen, and was also a comprador of the American foreign company. He had a big business in Shanghai. The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Hanyang Iron Smelting Plant were all imported by him. He was also a good friend of Yuan Shikai, the second son of Yuan Kewen, who was also a good friend of Yuan Shikai. He said it very well. How could the county magistrate, a countryside local lord, distinguish between real and fake? Not to mention the county magistrate, even if the prefect of Changsha and the governor of Huguang came, he would have to be fooled.

The county magistrate served wine to entertain Liu Yanzhi. During the meal, he mentioned a matter, saying that an English pastor was always provoking trouble in the county recently and asked Mr. Chen to help settle the matter. If it could be done, he should thank him carefully.

Ten years ago, during the Boxer Rebellion, the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the Forbidden City and occupied the capital. The Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu rushed west in a hurry. After the war, the Qing Dynasty signed the Boxer Treaty with the great powers and compensated 450 million taels of silver. This battle was not only defeated by the national destiny, but also completely destroyed the national confidence of the upper country of China over the past thousand years. However, local officials did not understand the Western Affairs Office and did not do well in the handling of the matter. They often caused conflicts and caused trouble. On the Taoist platform above, the governor would only punish local officials, which made local officials even more afraid of foreigners.

Liu Yanzhi was not afraid of foreigners. When asked the magistrate, the foreign priest came from, but the magistrate couldn't say it. He only said that he was a real foreigner with high nose, concave eyes, yellow hair and long legs.

"Foreigners are divided into three or six. There are first-class powers such as Britain, the United States, France and Germany, second-class powers Austria, Russia, Japan, etc. There are more third-class powers. Some small European countries are not as big as Ningxiang County, without soldiers or ships, so why do you act violently?" Liu Yanzhi's words made the magistrate look like a clear-cut cloud and agreed to ask Liu Yanzhi to accompany him when meeting foreigners tomorrow and spread the other party's words.

The next day, Liu Yanzhi was still dressed in a foreign dress and came to the county government to help him voluntarily. He took advantage of everything from the gatehouse to the third and six rooms. He couldn't take out the scattered copper coins, and the rewards were all white. He blew a breath and put them next to his ears, buzzing.

The magistrate was treated to tea and chatted for a while. The foreign pastor came. He was indeed domineering and arrogant. The entire county government did not dare to show off. However, Liu Yanzhi heard the trick. The other party was not a priest from a powerful country, and he was clearly a Turkish counterfeit.

Turkey is the Ottoman Empire. I think it was a glorious empire that spanned Europe and Asia. It often drank the Madanube River and swept Europe, and won a lot of money from southern European countries. However, in recent years, it has been downhill, and like the Qing Empire, they are the targets of oppression by the great powers.

Liu Yanzhi told the magistrate about the origin of this person. The magistrate suppressed his excitement: "Take it serious?"

"I dare to make a guarantee." Liu Yan smiled, "Old parents can beat this person up, so the Ottomans will definitely not challenge our Zongli Yamen."

Even so, the magistrate still dared not act rashly. What if this foreigner had a British and American relative?

Liu Yanzhi had no choice but to take action himself and denounced this person in fluent English. The fake powers whose old reputation was exposed had to blush and run away in shame.

The magistrate laughed happily. This was the first case that Ningxiang County and even Changsha Prefecture won the Westernization Affairs Office. When it comes to the Governor of Huguang, he will be proud of his face and bring glory to the court.

"Brother, if you need any help from your brother when you return home this time, just speak up." The magistrate patted the patch on his chest and praised Haikou.

Liu Yan said straight: "My parents are serious, but there is indeed another unjust case at my family, and I need help from adults to clear my heart." Then he took out the paper and handed it over.

The magistrate browsed and slapped the table, and was filled with righteous indignation: "There is no law!" This case was handled by his ex, and he would not do his business. This kind of bullying orphans and widows is common in the countryside, and the essay should be true. Taking advantage of the great victory in Westernization, the magistrate decided to be the master of Qingtian again, show his authority, and punish several villains and evil gentry in the countryside.
