Xiao Fengqi didn't take Shen Cha and Jin Jing's bad attitude towards him to heart at all. It would be strange if someone in his family did such stupid things and not be resented by others. If he encountered this situation himself, I'm afraid he would have gone a little further. Harsh words are inevitable, and taking action is also a given. More than that, it is very likely that they will beat each other once and for all, until they beat the other person into submission. Therefore, he is still very satisfied with the situation he is in now.
"Feng Qi has met the general and military advisor!" Xiao Fengqi bowed politely and smiled at them, "I apologize for interrupting you. If it weren't for a good reason, Feng Qi would not be so shameless as to disturb you two. .”
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the other party has already placed themselves in such a low position, and Shen Cha and Jin Jing are not the kind of unreasonable people. With a few harmless ridicules, Xiao Fengqi and Yelu were invited Two brothers at home sitting together.
"Prepare some more dishes, the kind that the three young masters like to eat." Shen Cha said to the shopkeeper who brought the ginger soup, "The portions are sufficient. Judging from the appearance of these three young masters, they probably didn't eat much in the palace. "
"Okay, I'll give you the order now." Putting the ginger soup in front of everyone, the shopkeeper went to the kitchen to keep an eye on it, took two steps out and came back again, "General, your dinner..."
"There's no need to prepare anything, just take a few bites." Watching the shopkeeper leave, Shen Cha turned to the two brothers of the Yelu family, "If you came here because of the tomb, there's nothing we can do. You heard just now, Since the other party suspects his bloodline, then bring out the evidence, whether it is personal or physical evidence, and as long as it is interrogated and investigated, the results will naturally come out."
"Those who do not examine the matter and those who lead others by the nose are all talking out of anger. I cannot explain what is going on here clearly in a sentence or two."
"Feng Qi is right. We have been feeling aggrieved for so many days and we also want to vent." Yerunan looked at the bowl of ginger soup and said, "If we had known what was going on earlier, we wouldn't have been trapped in the mess if we were killed. Yes, I will definitely hide far away."
"No, I have this free time, and I'm still sleeping at home!" Xiao Fengqi sighed heavily, pinched his nose and drank a large bowl of ginger soup, "I always feel that I have been plotted by the elders in the family, probably because of us I usually cause too much trouble for them.”
"Maybe!" Yelulan and Yelunan looked at each other, picked up the soup bowls, touched them, and followed Xiao Fengqi's example, drinking up the ginger soup.
"The king did not treat you two as outsiders, so he sent his chamberlain to invite you. But he also knew that you two would never get involved. Hearing from the chamberlain, you two rejected the invitation, and he was relieved. On the contrary, That Mr. Duan really doesn't regard himself as an outsider, he even went to the palace for a visit, and looking at him like that, it always gives me the feeling that he is just watching the excitement and it's not too big of a deal."
"Didn't you see the expression on Mr. Duan's face when he saw Mr. Duan? He pointed at Uncle Wang and shook his fingers. He felt that not only was his family's scandal spread, but he also spread it to envoys from other countries." Yerunan shook his head, "Okay. Mr. Duan didn't say anything, otherwise he would have made the Third Master angry."
"Sorry to interrupt!" Jin Jing said softly, looking at this and that, "The Third Master is..."
"It means that the late king is not the old man of the Yelu family. In terms of seniority, we have to call him Taiye." Yelulan drank ginger soup and held a small hand stove to keep warm. She didn't know if the weather was too cold or too freezing. He spoke with some trembling, "The Third Grand Master is in charge of all affairs in the clan. He has already said that he does not want to stand in the court, nor does he want his descendants to stand in the court. This time, after That’s why I jumped out, purely for personal grudges.”
"This... where did you start talking about it?" Jin Jing looked at Xiao Fengqi, "I heard before that this old man's lineage has a grudge against the Xiao family. How come he is also connected with the former Liao King?" He saw Xiao Fengqi glance at him and said, "That's not what I said, it was what others said."
"This can't be said like this. Outsiders think that the Third Grand Master's brothers, sons, nephews, etc. were all dealt with by the Queen Mother. In fact, it was they who failed to live up to their expectations and violated the king's laws. The Queen Mother was also fair. There is no personal grudge in dealing with it. It’s just that the third master always has an indifferent face towards the younger generation, and he is not just targeting the Xiao family."
"So that's it." Jin Jing and Shen Cha looked at each other and nodded silently, "The rumors really can't be believed!"
"We didn't know about it before. We thought that the third prince really had something on his mind, so we tried every means to find out. But the king sent people to invite the generals and military advisors to the palace, and then the third prince revealed the truth. Only then did we know that the late king's life experience was like this..." Xiao Fengqi finished eating the candy cake in his hand and took another piece from the plate, "The Third Master told us that we should give us all the witnesses and we can interrogate him no matter how we want. It doesn’t matter, he bears the blame.”
"What's the point of this? This old man should be quite old. What if he gets out of trouble?"
"Who says it's not? Not to mention us juniors, even Uncle Wang can't speak in front of Third Master. You haven't seen how the old man has silenced Uncle Wang for the past two days!" Yerunan Sighing, "He just wants to vent his anger. He has been holding this breath in his heart for decades. This time he finally got the chance. No matter what the price, he will get rid of this knot in his heart." Seeing the other side Jin Jing's eyes were shining, and he smiled bitterly, "The military advisor is still so curious." He patted Xiao Fengqi, "Go ahead!"
"Okay!" Xiao Fengqi nodded, reached out and picked up a piece of sweet cake and took a bite. "Everyone knows that when the king was still the regent, he always supported the younger members of the clan. The late king was the king who supported him despite all the opinions. The late king's ability He is not outstanding in the family, and his parents are not very pushy, so he got this opportunity. But what everyone doesn't know is that the late king's father was engaged to the third prince's granddaughter. , but just one month before the wedding, the late king’s biological father regretted the engagement without any warning.”
"Regret the marriage? Simply regretting the marriage shouldn't make the old man hold a grudge for so many years." Jin Jing frowned, "Are there other reasons?"
"Indeed." Xiao Fengqi nodded and continued to nibble on his candy cake, "On the day the late king's biological father and biological mother got married, the third grandpa's granddaughter, the little aunt we had never met, hanged herself in her room. The third grandpa hanged herself in her room. Naturally, it hurts a white-haired person to give away a black-haired person, especially the little aunt he loves the most. Her little aunt is gone all at once, how can the old man bear it!"
"No one can do anything good if we leave this matter to anyone." Jin Jing shook her head, "It's a life!"
"No, the old man fainted on the spot when he saw the body of his little granddaughter. It was already night when he woke up. The old man ignored his own body and rushed into the new house with a knife, intending to kill the father of the late king and bury his little granddaughter. I heard, The scene was very chaotic, and many female relatives were frightened. Later, someone from the palace stopped the third prince and took him away. Before the third prince left, he put down his harsh words and said that no matter how long this hatred lasts, he will never Forget it, they will have to pay with their lives sooner or later."
"The Third Master is in charge of everything in the clan. Unless the two of them request to be removed from the clan, they will have to take revenge sooner or later. Moreover, revenge with a dull knife will be more effective than a single blow." It's even more painful." Yerunan shook his head, "I heard Uncle Wang say it before. When the late king was born, the third prince said that this child was not allowed to be recorded in the family tree. He was not worthy. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand. Later, the clan leader and all the elders persuaded me for a whole month, but they didn’t know what they promised to the Third Master, so he reluctantly agreed."
"It's useless for anyone to mediate the endless feud. The two old generals Yelu should be insiders. They rushed over to persuade them, but it was of no use. Instead, they were persuaded by the Third Master. After all, Back, not only are the two old generals, but also the three of us..." Xiao Fengqi pointed at herself and then at Brother Yelu, "They are also on the side of the third master. If we were in the position of the third master, what would happen? Make the same choice as him." He rubbed his head, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Today the Third Master has spoken out everything in his heart. He is doing all these things just to avenge his granddaughter. Anyone who stops him will do it. His enemies will never let him go even if they are evil."
"More than that, the old man also said that if the late king's coffin enters the royal tomb, he doesn't care whether the ancestors will punish him or whether he will suffer retribution in the future. He will definitely blow it up."
"Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense!" Shen Cha was puzzled, "The real cause of that girl's death should be the biological father and mother of the former King of Liao. It is considered a grudge from the previous generation. What does it have to do with the former King of Liao? What about the relationship? This old man is clinging to this matter...it's still very strange."
"It's not surprising at all, general. The reason why the late king's biological father regretted the marriage was because his cousin, later the wife, got pregnant, and the whole family was forcing the late king's biological father. The late king's biological father himself was timid, cowardly and incompetent. No one can bear this kind of torment, so they have no choice but to break off the engagement." Yerunan spread his hands, "When we came out just now, the Third Master's people came after us and told us not to pay attention to the old man's attitude, it was not aimed at us. Of course we I can understand the old man’s thoughts. There is really nothing to fear after living to this age.”
"Now that everything has been said, there is nothing more to talk about. However, this matter is not without a solution. When I was in Xijing before, I also heard that similar things happened in the homes of the nobles in Beijing. . When the late emperor was still alive, he once gave a solution." Shen Cha stretched out a finger, "You three, please listen and see if you can learn from it."
"General, please speak."
"Cenotaph!"
