"this……"

Hearing this, everyone present looked suspicious.

Even the local county magistrate Dong Sanshi was like this. It seemed that he had never heard such a statement before and did not know that Xu Fu had such an "unbearable" past.

Naturally, Wu Liang heard about it for the first time.

Looking back at the evaluation of Xu Fu by the archaeological community in later generations, there is actually no clear distinction between praise and blame. It is only believed that in a sense, Xu Fu can be regarded as not only the first person in the history of mankind to control the ocean, but also the first person to initiate cultural exchanges between China and Japan.

people.

Wu Liang did not intend to judge what kind of person Xu Fu was at this moment.

However, if this statement is true, then looking at this matter from the perspective of the descendants of Xu Fu, they and their late mothers do have reasons to be dissatisfied with Xu Fu. In their eyes, Xu Fu was a man who started in chaos and then gave up.

A scumbag, a complete liar.

And it's obvious that he didn't just lie to a girl...

"Where is your late mother?"

Wu Liang looked at the other two people again and asked.

"It will be the same when I return to Taishi."

The other two also saluted and replied, "And according to the legend passed down by our ancestors, it was not just the grandmothers of the three families who were deceived by Xu Fu, but some were not pregnant yet, and some had their inheritance interrupted for hundreds of years.

, and now there are only three of us left."

"..."

Hearing this, the miko in the corner raised her eyebrows slightly and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Such Xu Fu was obviously not the Xu Jun of Qin she knew in her heart.

As a shrine maiden of the Japanese country, the shrine she serves is the one left by Qin Zhixu Jun, and the god she serves is also the ancestral god of Qin Zhixu Jun. This is her belief, and it is also the belief of the entire Japanese country.

And these things undoubtedly put a stain on the supreme and flawless ancestor god in her heart.

So she didn't want to believe it was true.

She couldn't believe that this was true, otherwise it would mean that her faith had been shaken, and she would not be qualified to continue serving the shrine and the ancestral gods as a shrine maiden.

And that's why he didn't immediately refute.

It's because she hasn't found a reason to refute it yet, and she's worried that speaking rashly will not only fail to convince everyone, but also make the ancestor god in her heart even more humiliated.

"..."

Wu Liang also didn't know what to say. This was worse than he thought. Is it okay for a broadcaster to be irresponsible?

After pondering like this for a moment, he finally sorted out his messy thoughts and then asked: "Can you three please introduce your late mother's family background?"

"My late mother's family was originally a fisherman under the Laoshan Mountain. When Xu Fu came here to build a mirage, he recruited the men from my late mother's family to help with the work. My late mother often went to deliver meals, and later I got to know Xu Fu."

"My late mother was a carpenter from Beihai, and she was recruited to build mirages, so she came here with my father..."

"My late mother was originally a maid in Xu Fu's home, and she came here with him..."

The three of them took turns describing their late mother's situation. Without exception, none of them came from the gentry class. They were all common people at the lowest level. With Xu Fu's status and family background at the time, it was easy to deceive them.

And if they were sober enough they would understand.

Class monopoly was already deeply rooted during the Qin Dynasty. Even if Xu Fu did not go to sea later, there was absolutely no possibility for them to fly on the branches and become phoenixes. There would be no good results from the beginning... But people always like to fantasize, just like Wu Liang lived

In the later generations, there are still many girls who dream of marrying into rich families, but in the end most of them are left with nothing, even those actresses who have become famous are no exception.

at the same time.

Wu Liang has determined a fact.

They were all abandoned by Xu Fu, and they were abandoned without any burden, so they would definitely not come back to recognize their relatives. In addition, Laoshan was not Xu Fu's hometown, so the possibility of him returning here after leaving Japan was extremely slim.

However, Wu Liang decided to make one last effort.

"Thank you for your answers."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, turned around and said to Dong Sanshi, "Mr. Dong, could you please make some arrangements? I want to go to the fishing village where they live to visit tomorrow."

If there is nothing unusual about the fishing village, and these three descendants of Xu Fu all live a very poor life, then we can basically rule out the possibility that Xu Fu returned here after leaving Japan.

certainly.

Wu Liang will also ask the witch Hu for her opinion.

Although he still had doubts about the magatama on Hu's body at this moment, he was not sure whether it could really determine Xu Fu's location through temperature changes, or whether it could determine the location of another magatama belonging to Xu Fu.

But it's also an important reference.

What's more, if Witch Hu still thinks that Xu Fu may be in the Laoshan generation, and thinks that Wu Liang has not discovered some aspects, she will definitely not continue to remain silent.

"Don't worry Taishi Wu, I will leave this matter to you."

Dong Sanshi bowed and agreed.

…

After the banquet.

Wu Liang and the rest of the Hu army returned to the station assigned to them by Dong Sanshi in the city.

On the way, the witch Hu, who had not spoken to Wu Liang for a long time and had never even given him a good look, took the initiative to come to his side, saluted and said, "Taishi Wu, I have something to say to you."

"Say it."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"When Xu Jun of Qin arrived in Japan, the mirage had been irreparably damaged. It is said that after a big storm, the three thousand boys and girls and hundreds of craftsmen who were brought to the mirage by him came ashore alive.

Less than half."

The witch Hu said seriously, "Therefore, I think that when King Xu of Qin did not take these female relatives with him, it was not necessarily because he was in trouble and gave up, but because he knew that this trip was uncertain about life and death, and he did not want to teach them to take risks with him."

"Is it fun to lie to yourself?"

Wu Liang suddenly asked back.

"What?"

The witch Hu did not expect Wu Liang to react like this.

"If you know that your life or death during this trip is uncertain, but you don't want to involve them, shouldn't you be more restrained?"

Wu Liang looked the witch Hu up and down and said, "You should have heard just now that these three families are not the only ones who were left here by Xu Fu. This was done by a man who knew his life or death was uncertain and did not want to teach them to take risks with him.

What's the matter?"

"Perhaps Lord Xu of Qin originally planned to return to pick them up after arriving at the Japanese state, but unfortunately the mirage was completely damaged when it arrived at the Japanese state, so the matter could only be shelved."

The witch shouted again.

"If I remember correctly, Dr. Qi Litong once said that Xu Fu seemed to have lived in Japan for decades and heard that the Qin Dynasty had been replaced by the Han Dynasty, so he started building ships and embarked on his return journey, right?"

Wu Liang retorted again.

He didn't really want to prove that Xu Fu was a scumbag, but he didn't like how the witch Hu was deceiving himself.

Just like Wu Liang's view of history, he never interprets history or judges historical figures from the perspective of justice and good and evil. All actions should be attributed to human nature.

No one is perfect.

Even if the sage Kong is the same, it is reasonable for Xu Fu to have some problems.

The witch Hu was speechless when she was asked. After being silent for a moment, she still said firmly, "In short, Mr. Xu of Qin must have a compelling reason. I hope you will not misunderstand him."

"I have no misunderstanding. I am just trying to use a dialectical attitude to understand Xu Fu more comprehensively."

Wu Liang smiled and said, "Qin Zhixu Jun is the belief of you and the Japanese people, but it is only the object of my research and investigation. You have your persistence, I respect you, and I have mine. You don't have to try to change your belief."

Forcing it on me, after all, I am the Taishi Ling of the Han Dynasty, and I have the final say on how this matter should be recorded in the history books of the Han Dynasty."

"..."

The witch Hu wanted to say something more, but Dian Wei had already interrupted her. He came to Wu Liang and said in his ear, "Master, Yang Wanli is back."

"Excuse me."

Wu Liang cupped his hands, smiled, and left without looking back.

Looking at his back, the witch's eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

…

Yang Wanli's trip brought back a lot of folklore about Xu Fu here.

There are legends that he can refine elixirs to cure diseases and save people, there are legends that he goes out to sea to fight sharks, there are legends that he has a water-proof bead that can freely travel between land and sea, and there are even legends that Xu Fu is actually a shark...

None of these legends have definite basis.

However, after Yu Ji's help in confirming, Quan was consistent with the folklore recorded in the scrolls of slips given to him by Dong Sanshi, which meant that Dong Sanshi had not concealed anything.

But there is no news about Xu Fu's departure and return.

This made Wu Liang subjectively rule out Laoshan for the time being. He only needed to visit the three fishing villages where Xu Fu's descendants lived tomorrow before he was ready to head to the next place, Langya.
