"Young Master, should we hide these things in the cellar first?”
The Zhang family's ancestral home had a secret room that was similar to the basement in the future.
It was about 100 square meters in size and was designed to be very secretive. There was only one entrance, and it was from an inconspicuous side room.
"Yes, keep a small portion for the near future. Put the rest in the cellar.”
Zhang Yang nodded.
"Understood, Young Master."
Zhang Xing happily became a porter.
Originally, he was still worried about how he would live in the future if his family did not have money. He did not expect his young master to be so capable now and get a large sum of money with a raise of his hand.
This was great. With so much gold and silver, as long as he managed it well, he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
Zhang Xing had already begun to plan how to use this money well.
Perhaps he could buy a few shops in the city…
Zhang Yang didn't care about Zhang Xing's thoughts. He was standing under a huge willow tree on the west side of the courtyard of the old mansion.
Zhang Yang intended to build a nest for the two small martens on this tree; however, according to what he learned in his previous life, the two small martens seemed to live in caves.
Could he dig a hole for them under the willow tree?
These two small martens were snow-white and furry, looking especially cute.
Zhang Yang named them Big White and Little White.
The two martens were very intelligent. It seemed that they knew that Zhang Yang would not hurt them. Therefore, they were not afraid of Zhang Yang; instead, they were very close to him.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's build a nest on the tree first. If they don't want to go in, we can dig a hole under the tree.”
Zhang Yang found some useless planks and found a thicker branch on the big willow tree. He started to build a house for the two small martens about 3 m away from the tree.
After a long while, Zhang Yang finally made a very firm nest on the tree.
He then went to the woodshed to get some dry grass and spread it in the nest. Then, he caught the two small martens and placed them in.
In the beginning, the two small martens were not used to it. After all, their instincts made them feel that such a small nest was not safe enough.
However, after staying in Zhang Yang's pocket for a while and Zhang Yang's persuasion, the two martens finally settled down in this nest on the tree.
He settled the two small martens down and played with them for a while.
Zhang Yang told Zhang Xing to buy some meat at the village entrance every day and cook it to feed the two small martens.
Zhang Xing naturally agreed.
From then on, the Zhang family had two more children.
He was finally a little livelier.
…………………
In the early morning, Zhang Yang walked out of his old mansion and planned to take a walk outside.
After walking dozens of meters along a small road, Zhang Tie passed by another alley and came to Oxtail Alley. There were over 10 households here. They were the nearest neighbors to Zhang Yang's ancestral mansion.
"Aiyo, Scholar Zhang, good morning!"
A few neighbors were gathered together, talking about something.
They all stood up and greeted Zhang Yang.
"Good morning, uncles!"
Zhang Yang cupped his hands towards them.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they continued to walk towards the village.
"Hey, you guys don't know, but something happened to Minister Zhou's family a few days ago.”
After walking a few steps, Zhang Yang had heard a neighbor called Li Ergou.
Zhang Yang's heart raced as he slowed down his footsteps and started to listen.
Li Ergou said vividly.
The meaning of his words seemed to be that something had happened to the family of the biggest landlord in Niu Village, Minister Zhou.
Of course, Zhang Yang recognized Minister Zhou.
He was about fifty years old and looked very wealthy. He always smiled at people. Although he was the biggest landlord in Niu Village, he had a good reputation.
This was because he wasn't as overbearing as the average landlord. On the contrary, this Minister Zhou was a good person. He only charged 30% of the rent from the villagers, which was much less than other landlords.
Moreover, Minister Zhou would occasionally help some of the elderly and weak villagers in the village. In this ancient society, people like him could be called a good person.
According to Li Ergou, Minister Zhou's house was haunted some time ago.
The specific situation seemed to be related to a rope.
It was said that there was a flying rope that would appear in the courtyard of Minister Zhou's house every night.
It scared the dozens of people in the Zhou family.
The Zhou family had invited many Taoist priests and mages to cast spells, but it was useless.
The rope would still appear at the Zhou family's house every night.
After hearing Li Ergou's words, Zhang Yang immediately became concerned.
He planned to go to the Zhou family to ask about the situation. If it was a ghost causing trouble, he could use it as a stepping stone for his advancement.
…………………
"Scholar Zhang!"
When Minister Zhou saw Zhang Yang, he was a bit surprised.
Zhang Yang was also shocked by the haggard look of Minister Zhou.
The Minister Zhou in front of him no longer had a trace of his former wealth. He had lost dozens of pounds and his figure had become thinner.
The expression on his face was even more exhausted.
Zhang Yang didn't waste any time. After confirming the unusual event of his family with Minister Zhou, he volunteered to help him deal with it.
"Scholar Zhang knows about the Xuanmen Sect?”
Minister Zhou revealed a doubtful expression.
"I know a thing or two."
Zhang Yang swore that he could help him deal with it.
" This..." Minister Zhou was still a little hesitant. They were all neighbors. If something happened, it would not be good.
"It's fine. To be honest, a few days ago, I…"
Zhang Yang briefly explained what happened in the broken temple on the mountain.
Of course, he hid some crucial information, such as the Lightning Manipulation Technique.
"Really?"
Minister Zhou was surprised and delighted.
"Of course it's true."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Scholar Zhang. If we can handle this properly, our Zhou family will definitely not treat Scholar Zhang unfairly.”
Minister Zhou took Zhang Yang into his home and asked him to look around for any evil.
Besides Zhang Yang, there were some other Taoist priests and masters at home who looked like immortals.
At the sight of Zhang Yang, these people revealed a disdainful look.
