Chapter 78 Family Record

The next morning, when the six hunters walked to the main dining room, the twelve bandits were already up and yawning. Six hunters and twelve bandits sat on two separate tables. Lee Nianzu and Gen walked to the kitchen, and Mu Yin came to Guozhao Zhiqiang and sat down.

Yu Lei asked, "How did you sleep?"

Miao Jing said, "We only slept for a few hours, and the sound of the guzheng continued all night until this morning." He yawned, then opened his arms. "I'm still so sleepy."

Yu Lei looked at Mu Yin and asked, "What about you, lady Mu?"

Mu Yin scoffed, "I slept well, and I even have a dream of getting married."

Tian Xiang smiled and said, "Oh, your red eyes are saying something different.

Yu Lei and Tian Xiang both laughed.

Then Lee Nianzu and Gen walked back with three teapots and some cups. Guozhao Zhiqiang picked up the teapot and poured tea for Deming and himself.

Mu Yin frowned annoyingly, "Husband, why don't you pour tea for your wife."

Tian Xiang said from behind, "Do you have a hand?"

Mu Yin turned around, "I didn't talk to you, shut up."

Lee Nianzu, who was sitting opposite Mu Yin, smiled at Tian Xiang and Mu Yin, and heard the weak male voice whisper in his left ear, "Jingsheng, I miss you so much."

Lee Nianzu looked around the room and said calmly, "I am not him."

As soon as the twelve bandits heard Lee Nianzu speak, they stopped talking. Mu Yin held Guozhao Zhiqiang's left arm tightly. She asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you talking to?"

Tian Xiang immediately threw a talisman to the front door, and a male voice screamed in pain. The eleven bandits rushed over and stood behind Lee Nianzu, Tian Xian, and Yu Lei. There was a knock on the door, and the eleven bandits screamed in horror.

Lee Nianzu calmly said, "Don't be afraid of those maids who bring us breakfast." Lee Nianzu stood up, walked towards the door, and opened it. He took Lady Jiang and the ten maids to the main dining hall.

Lady Jiang was taken aback when she saw that the six hunters were still in the inn. She sat down and said, "Honestly, I thought this was going to be an empty inn when I arrived this morning."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Lady Jiang and asked, "Lady Jiang, does the name Jingsheng sound familiar to you?"

Lady Jiang, "Jingsheng..." She shook her head. "Never heard of it."

Lee Nianzu, "Has any guests said they have heard of the name Jingsheng?"

Lady Jiang, "No, you are the first."

Tian Xiang asked, "Since this land has been passed down from generation to generation, is there any record?"

Lady Jiang said, "I'm not sure, if there is, it must be in the family vault."

Tian Xiang said, "If we know who Jingsheng is, we may be able to understand why this ghost is not willing to leave."

Lady Jiang, "Then go back to my house with me." She looked at the twelve bandits. "I only welcome hunters. If the twelve of you want to stay here, you are welcome to stay."

Mu Yin said, "I am his wife, which mean I can go with him." She looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang.

Guozhao Zhiqiang said coldly, "She is not my wife."

Mu Yin's jaw dropped in shock.

The six hunters followed lady Jiang out the front door, leaving behind the twelve bandits.

Miao Jing looked at Mu Yin and asked, "Boss, what should we do?"

Mu Yin, "Let's go, I'd rather stay at the gate of Jiang's house than stay here." She looked at Miao Jing. "Unless the eleven of you want to stay here."

The Jiang family is very big and well decorated. Madam Jiang led them into a large guest room. Madam Jiang turned to look at one of the maids and said a few words to the maid. The servant left immediately. Immediately afterwards, an older man pushed an older woman in a wheelchair into the main guest hall, followed by two older women.

Lady Jiang stood up and said, "This is my grandfather, this is my two grandmothers, this is my great-grandmother."

Great grandmother Jiang looked at the hunters and said, "What do you want to know?"

Lady Jiang, "Great grandmother, do we have anyone by the name Jingsheng?"

Great grandmother Jiang, "Jingsheng, of course. He died when he was young."

Lady Jiang, "His name is not in our family record."

Great grandmother Jiang, "My great grandfather removed his name from our family record."

Tian Xiang asked, "Why Grandmother Jiang?"

Great grandmother Jiang, "According to my grandmother he is a disgrace and people didn't talk about it. When his name is mentioned..." She sighed. "They just told us that he brought shame to our family." She raised her head, and her eyes fell on Lee Nianzu. "My grandfather once told me a story about his youngest brother."

Lady Jiang, "Great grandmother, please tell us."

Great grandmother Jiang sighed, "It happened generations ago… They met when great-uncle Jingsheng came back from the city. From that day on, great-uncle Jingsheng changed from a business scholar to a musician and was no longer interested in the family business. Great-uncle Jingsheng spent every day with a young man name, Yang Yusheng. The two young people spent countless days and nights together, and the friendship between the two young people blossom into love."

Lady Jiang, "And then?"

Great grandmother Jiang, "My great grandfather asked Lao Xin to follow great-uncle Jingsheng. On the faithless day, old Xin saw great-uncle Jingsheng and Yusheng kissed by a stream and that sealed their fate."

Lady Jiang asked, "What happened later?"

Great grandmother Jiang continued, "Great grandmother didn't say. She just said that the next morning, my great-grandfather and the ten guards, and Lao Xin went to the bamboo house and found great-uncle Jingsheng and Yang Yusheng in the bamboo house. My great-grandfather dragged great-uncle Jingsheng back home and locked him away. My great-grandfather forbidden my great-uncle Jingsheng to meet Yang Yusheng. Great-uncle Jingsheng's health deteriorated, and he refused to speak to anyone. Lao Xin felt sorry for the young master who he served since childhood. He secretly was their messenger, and their plan was to escape together, but Yang Yusheng never show up. Great-uncle Jingsheng waited for three days. Later, great-uncle Jingsheng purchased the land that was once Yang Yusheng's home. After buying the land, he locked himself inside his courtyard for six months. The only person who visits him is Lao Xin. One day, Lao Xin went to visit him, but he was already dead. After the funeral, his name was later removed from the family records, and the great-grandfather sealed Uncle Jingsheng's courtyard, not allowing anyone to open it."

Yu Lei, "It doesn't make sense."

Lady Jiang, "Why does this hunter think so?"

Tian Xiang said, "If Yang Yusheng didn't fulfill his promise to your great-uncle Jiang Jingsheng, why is Yang Yusheng's spirit still here?"

Lee Nianzu, "Great grandmother Jiang, is master Jiang Jingsheng's purchased land, is the land where the inn was built on?"

Great grandmother Jiang nodded.
