Chapter 285: Chapter 285 "The Future Husband Has Learned How to Make Yueyue Obey...
Qi Yue also became tense, feeling that what Lou Chuhe was about to reveal had something to do with the sudden disappearance of the Lou Family's original Fengyi County estate over forty years ago.
Indeed, Lou Chuhe, with tears in his old eyes, recounted a piece of history that had been erased.
The investigative report stated that the Lou family hailed from Fengyi County, but it was incomplete. To be accurate, it should be the Lou Family Estate of Fengyi County in Yanjing.
It turned out that the ancestors of the Lou Family were officials as well, producing a Magistrate and a County Magistrate. However, by the time of Lou Chuhe's father, the family had fallen into decline. @@novelbin@@
Still, thanks to the modest wealth amassed by their forebears, the family lived quite comfortably after the birth of Lou Chuhe, with a hundred acres of good land to support them.
But the trouble lay precisely with those hundred acres of good land.
Over forty years prior, it was precisely when the third Emperor of Donggao, the current Emperor's father, ascended to the throne.
Most emperors, upon their accession, seek to find a good place for their tomb, and this predecessor of Donggao was no exception.
The construction of imperial tombs requires a location, and it can't be too far from Yanjing!
As a result, the Lou Family Estate was included within the selected area.
One must know that the land for an emperor's tomb is incredibly vast; thus the Lou Family Estate was doomed, along with the surrounding hundred acres of fertile land that would also have to be cleared.
Typically, such Imperial Court land requisitions provide some compensation to the peasants of the estate, granting them permission to relocate.
What do you think?
