Inheritance of the Noble Title (2)
The famous Yellow Turban Rebellion in history happened in the year 184, which was more than ten years away from now.
Liu Xuan's current location was in Beihai County of Qingzhou.
His identity made Liu Xuan excited.
Marquis!
Moreover, he was a marquis with a fief. His level was quite high. In terms of title, he was a proper noble.
However, this noble was very fake. The old man had gone to Luoyang a few years ago to sell his official position. The whole process had become a legend in Beihai County.
Of course, it was not a good legendary reputation.
And because this marquis's name was the 'Marquis Qingshan' personally appointed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the old man's name was called Liu Qingshan by many scholars.
Of course, although he didn't know the process, Liu Xuan felt that Old Master Liu was really lucky.
This was because this title was not only a marquis, but it could also be passed down for three generations. Most importantly, Liu Xuan happened to be the third generation.
Of course, compared to the legendary life of Old Master Liu, Liu Xuan felt that his legend had just begun.
The reason why he was able to get this title was entirely because the proud Old Master Liu had brought his eldest son, daughter-in-law, and grandson to the fief, Mount Daqing, for a walk. Because of the continuous rain during this period of time, they had encountered a landslide and mudslide, so they had all stayed there.
Due to the fact that the entire family was in a nest, according to the situation, if Old Master Liu did not have a direct descendant to inherit the title and inheritance, then all of them would be confiscated.
This included not only Old Master Liu's property, but also all the servants in the courtyard who had signed the contract to sell themselves. They would be handed over to the government to be dealt with and sold at a price.
In order to deal with this situation, the butler of the Liu residence, who was also the old man that Liu Xuan had met before, remembered that his master had a son who had left home in his early years.
In order to prevent his family from being separated by the official auction and their future and fate being worried, the old man reported the situation to the official.
Unexpectedly, after investigation, there really was one.
Because the father and son had not severed their relationship, at least not in the household register. After checking, he quickly found the address.
However, the second son had died a few years ago, leaving behind only an orphan and a widow.
When the old man hurriedly drove the carriage to pick up the real Liu Xuan, both Liu Xuan and his mother caught a serious cold.
Liu Xuan's mother did not say much before she died, leaving Liu Xuan, who had a high fever, on his last breath.
In such a situation, the old man paid for a doctor out of his own pocket. After making medicine for Liu Xuan to drink, he hurriedly brought Liu Xuan back to the Liu residence in a carriage to take care of him.
However, he did not expect Liu Xuan, who had already improved a little, to suddenly die halfway.
This situation was like a bolt from the blue for the old man.
No, it was no different from directly sentencing the old man to death, and it was the kind of death sentence that would involve the entire family.
He had volunteered to take the Marquis's last son, but he had died midway. In addition, the old man's family was originally servants of the Liu family.
No matter what the reason was, their family would be greatly implicated because of this matter.
The ancients were superstitious. The old man's situation was a curse to his master.
A servant who defied his master, even if his descendants were not implicated, no one would want them anymore. This meant that their family was completely finished.
If it was more serious, the old man might even commit the act of killing his master, and his entire family would be executed.
Therefore, in such a desperate situation, the old man made that choice.
However, for Liu Xuan, this meant that the original Liu family was completely dead.
He would also be able to accept everything that the other party had and become the last Marquis of Qingshan.
Even the only survivor who knew this secret, the old butler, died after bringing him back.
According to the servant's description, Liu Xuan made a guess when he thought of the scene where the old man left with the child's body before he fainted.
After the old butler took the Liu family's child's body to the small forest to deal with it, he saw him unconscious when he came back, so he anxiously brought him to the Liu residence.
Along the way, no one knew what happened. Old Liu dragged his heavily injured body back to the Liu residence and eventually died.
According to the servant's description, the old butler had most likely encountered bandits and had barely escaped death before taking him out. He had been stabbed several times and died from excessive bleeding.
This made Liu Xuan keenly notice something suspicious.
It might be normal for an old butler to protect him loyally, but his injuries were not fatal. Instead, he bled to death. This was a little suspicious.
Instead, it gave Liu Xuan a feeling that these wounds were most likely intentional.
Perhaps he felt sorry for his old master, or perhaps he wanted to keep that eternal secret, or perhaps he couldn't stand the positive condemnation.
All of this had become a secret after the old man's death.
It became a secret that Liu Xuan could not tell.
As for Liu Xuan, he had a jade pendant to prove his identity. He also found Liu Xuan's identity document from the dead old man.
The little master that Old Liu swore to protect was replaced by a child whose age and proof matched. Liu Xuan was completely a substitute for the peach, and he was registered in this world.
What made Liu Xuan glad was that the official records of Old Master Liu's only bloodline, Liu Xuan, did not mention anything special about him.
That's right, don't think that just because there weren't any photos or identification cards in ancient times, you could just casually give your name and fool them.
An identity document was something similar to an ancient identity card. Although there was no portrait of you on it, there would be a simple description of your appearance.
For example, someone with a square face, a wide nose, round eyes, or a black mole somewhere on their face.
Although this was the description, it was impossible to replace someone out of thin air.
Perhaps it was because Old Master Liu's second son died too early, leaving behind an orphan and a widow who lived a miserable life. Their family was peaceful and they rarely interacted with others. Even when they registered with the government, the official was only a few years ago.
At that time,'True Liu Xuan' was still young, and the official simply wrote a few sentences in a hurry.
It was precisely because of this carelessness that not many people doubted Liu Xuan's appearance.
