Chapter 281 Where Wealth Comes From

Little Reeko reached out and ran his hand over his wife's body.

Lin Niangniang felt a tickle and laughed delicately, "What are you doing?"

"Wife, didn't you say that this map was printed up when you were born."

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Too there, how can this map remain so clear without a hint of distortion when your body structure has changed so much from the time you were born to the time you grew into adulthood."

"Silly husband, this is a secret technique, not a simple topography, of course it won't be distorted."

So that's how it is. Little Reeko continues to fumble.

Lin Niangniang suddenly felt so nervous, he wouldn't be intentional, would he?

Sure enough, her husband hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Honey, did you miss me?"

......

After an hour had passed, the little Purple Star sisters and Sister Hong were called into the room, and Little Brother Li dumped the burden of copying on them, and he was only responsible for visiting from the sidelines.

The Purple Star siblings can't paint either, and those two brushes aren't as good as Big Brother's.

Mrs. Hong's art skills, however, were really good, and with one stroke, she drew realistically.

However, the map was just too complicated, and Niangniang Lin couldn't stand for long periods of time, so Sister Hong couldn't support her alone, and she didn't accomplish much even after working for most of the day.

Having no choice, Li Mu called Shan Tingyan in again and asked her to help Sister Hong copy together.

With two people working together, efficiency is obviously dramatically increased.

In this way, drawing for a while, resting for a while, drawing for a while, resting for a while, the people tossed and turned for most of the night, finally copying the whole map.

Afterward, everyone gathered around to look at the map.

The more Li Mu looked, the more confused he became and couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?"

"Bermuda." Lin Wan replied casually.

Except for Mrs. Red, her words startled everyone else, the treasure was hidden in Bermuda, who is so good at picking places, this is too sensational.

Shen Meier asked, "Big sister, is it that Bermuda called the Devil's Triangle?"

"Yes, that's where it is, the treasure is hidden at the bottom of the sea, and without this map, no one could possibly find it."

"Boy!" Li Mu exclaimed, "Who's so big to hide that fortune in a place like that, I heard it's very spooky there, a lot of airplanes and ships had disappeared, and how did the treasure hider hide the treasure at the bottom of the sea?"

Lin Wan replied, "This is the hidden secret I'm going to tell you."

"Isn't cryptic this map?"

"The map is only part of the hidden secret, not all of it, and I'll tell you the rest of it now."

Hearing Lin Wan's words, Sister Hong hurriedly greeted the others and left the room.

Lin Wan stopped, "Sister Hong, let them listen as well, they are all family now, there are some things that there is no need to avoid them."

Li Mu took the opportunity to say, "Little Swallow, go call Little Demon and Lin Kun in and let them listen together."

Only after all the personnel had arrived did Niang Lin open her mouth.

It turns out that the eight families of Nanyang is a modern saying, and a few generations backward is not just eight families, but the ten hegemonic families of Nanyang, a total of ten families.

The two missing families were the Shen family, which was now the Shen family, and the Chu family.

The oldest ancestors of these ten families were brothers in arms, doing business together and getting rich together.

On weekdays, they each had their own business, all of which could be put in the open.

The purpose of these deals was not to make money, but to keep out of sight and to provide cover for the shady business they ran together.

This black business, which is the root of the families' wealth and the bond they have with each other, is piracy.

Rich gentry on shore, pirates in the water, this is the hidden secrets of the ten great families not known.

In this business, there are no good people, but do not say what chivalry and benevolence, it is all a wonderful folk legend.

Thieves are thieves, especially pirates, hands stained with blood, full of sin, they made the sins, chime pen difficult to write.

Ten families have been doing this deal for generations.

By the time Lin Wan's great-grandfather's generation came along, the world was in chaos.

Westerners warships in the China Sea rampage, the control of the sea are in the hands of the barbarians, the business is getting more and more difficult to do.

And at this point, the Ten Great Families had already accumulated a large amount of wealth through the efforts of several generations.

So, it was decided to wash his hands of the gold, distribute the wealth equally, and live in peace from then on.

Hearing this, Li Mu asked in disbelief, "Wait a minute, wife, do you mean to say that they didn't distribute the money they robbed earlier?"

"Yes, this is the rule set by the old generation, they were worried that after someone got the money, they got greedy for pleasure, so they unanimously decided to do it together, or quit together, and wait until the time of the golden pot to split the money."

Li Mu raised a big finger and sighed with heartfelt admiration, "Still the old generation is smart, this is much more useful than taking blood oaths, using money to hang you, forcing you to walk down one road until you are black, to see who is willing to quit."

"Yes, who would be willing to give up such a large amount of wealth, so even if there was a withdrawal in their hearts, they could only grit their teeth and stick to it, and unless everyone unanimously agreed to quit, then no one would take the initiative to ask to get off the ship."

"And then what, what happened?"

Lin Wan revealed a shy expression.

Li Mu looked at her as if he understood something and asked in a low voice, "Did your family's old ancestor eat black?"

"How do you know?"

"Nonsense, you've got a map printed on your ass, what don't I know!"

The two Purple Star siblings laughed their heads off, Sister Hong and the others also laughed out loud, and Nyonya Lin also laughed along with them.

After laughing for a while, Lin Wan said, "I'm not sure what exactly happened, anyway, it's just what you said, the old ancestors of the Lin and Shen families, they embezzled all the wealth and hid them in Bermuda."

"What can those families do?"

"Of course they wouldn't do it, the other eight families forced our two families to hand over their wealth, and our two families refused to comply, so they began to fight. The result was that the Chu Family destroyed its vitality and gradually went into extinction, the Lin Family fled overseas, and the Shen Family hid in the mainland."

Li Mu said disdainfully, "Your two old ancestors are really finished, the wealth of the ten families, why should they privately swallow it, it's too unorthodox!"

"Didn't I say it, what exactly is the situation, we, the descendants of the future generation are not clear, maybe they have unspeakable patience, and have no choice but to suffer. However, it's useless to talk about this now, because the fact is already like this."

Lin Kun interjected, "Brother-in-law, I agree with Sister Wan's words, the Old Ancestors must have their reasons for doing this. Otherwise, they are too unintelligent to do something that they know is impossible to achieve, what is that not stupidity?"

Reimu nodded and asked his wife, "Stealing such a large fortune is never easy, how did they get the opportunity?"

Lin Wan said with some embarrassment, "They are the eldest and second brothers, the brothers respect and trust them, and by appointing them to start the transportation of the treasure, they have given them the opportunity."

So that's how it was, Li Mu hemmed and hawed twice and didn't say anything else.

Shan Tingyan asked, "What happened afterward, and how did the Lin Family make peace with the other families?"

"Later, my Great Ancestor took the initiative to negotiate with the other families, swore a poisonous oath that he didn't take that wealth privately, and told the other side about the treasure hiding place, agreeing to take the treasure together after three generations."

"Those clans agreed?"

"What can they do if they don't agree, Tai Zu took the initiative to let them hypnotize, and after they confirmed it over and over again, they knew that Tai Zu hadn't lied, so they just had to accept the fact."

"The old ancestors of the Lin and Shen families, why are they doing this?"

"I really don't know, anyway, after that negotiation, everyone stopped mentioning that incident, and the other clans didn't look for trouble from the Lin family anymore, everyone was a peaceful mess on the surface, and the Lin family gradually developed into the Southern Ocean's first forest."

Li Mu waved his hand and said to the crowd, "We don't need to discuss the matter of the old generation anymore, whether it's right or wrong, it's something that happened hundreds of years ago, so let's just ponder over the current difficulties."

Sister Hong immediately chimed in, "Auntie is right, the family assembly will be held tomorrow, so let's focus on this issue!"

Shan Tingyan said, "I'll ask one last question, sister-in-law, I see that this map is not complete, is there another copy in the possession of the Shen Family's family head."

Lin Wan nodded and said to Li Mu, "Hubby, that half of the map should be on your first love's ass."

Several other people looked at Li Mu in unison.

The latter was worthy of being a man of long experience, and this little wave could not ruin him.

Our little brother Li asked calmly, "Purple Star, does your sister Star Moon have a map on her ass?"

Nothing wrong with that, a glib line of questioning, taking yourself off the hook, that means telling everyone, don't look at me, I don't know.

Lin Wan laughed, "You guys are not allowed to wrong my husband, he and Shen Xingyue are gentlemen's friends, he really doesn't know, this, I can guarantee."

Li Mu skimmed his lips and said, "That's right, I'm a good man, I definitely won't touch a woman who can't give me a future, we have to be responsible for others."

Sister Hong's cheeks were red, and strangely enough, so was Demon's.

Lin Wan blankly glanced at him and asked him, "Hubby, do you want to discuss this matter with the Shen family, so that when we meet tomorrow, we can also be united."

"It's so necessary, you guys are so composed, if it were me, I would have called the Shen family over for a meeting together."

Do as I say, well after Shen's family came back, they did not leave the Lin family compound, not long after receiving the call, several core family members flanked Shen Xingyue and came to the villa together.

Lin Wan will tell the original story in public, Shen family members collective blindfolded lights turn, one expression surprised look at Lin Niangiang, looks completely unaware of the situation.

Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "You guys don't know about such a big secret?"

Second Grandpa's cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly replied, "I don't know, nephew-in-law, is everything you're saying true?"
