"Expelled...from the family?"
After hearing Yelu Heyi's words, Shen Cha suddenly stood up from the soft couch. Because he stood up too hard, his feet were unsteady and he almost fell to the ground.
"General!" Fortunately, Yelu Heyi was sitting next to him and quickly reached out to support him, "Be careful."
"How could it be? Why?" Shen Cha stabilized his figure and looked at Yelu Heyi with confusion on his face, "It's unreasonable that no news about such a big thing has come out at all! When did this happen?"
"Well... I don't know exactly which day it was. It was probably around the time the Japanese assassinated Wan Yanxi. It took me these two days to get the exact news. It is estimated that in a few days, the entire Linhuang Mansion will know. . Just like what you said, such a big thing cannot be hidden." Yelu Heyi watched Shen Cha circling in the room, "My subordinates have mentioned to you before that Xiao Fengqi has been very popular since he rose to prominence in the family. There are many people who dislike him, and there are also many who secretly make things difficult for him. This situation shows no signs of getting better as time goes by, and instead becomes more serious."
"Yes, you said before that Xiao Fengqi's life in the Xiao family was not very easy. Many people...especially the elders did not like his actions very much, but they knew what was important and what was important, and the decision that was good for the Xiao family was still Very supportive.”
"It was because of the appearance of Xiao Fengqi that the Xiao family seemed to be coming back to life, and they dreamed of regaining the glory that the Queen Mother had when she was there. But..." Yelu Heyi looked at Shen Cha, "A lot of information was gathered together, and it also allowed my subordinates to I feel very confused, Xiao Fengqi seems to have no intention of replacing the Yelu family, and many people in the Xiao family disagree with this, so more and more people are causing trouble for him."
"Not necessarily!" Shen Cha shook his head, "Xiao Fengqi is difficult to understand. Sometimes, his approach is not too radical. He can go further, but he has to retreat. Sometimes... like what happened to Ye Luling. This is unacceptable. Therefore, don’t be fooled by appearances, don’t jump to conclusions easily, and continue to observe what is going on with this person.”
"yes!"
Shen Cha walked around the room a few times and felt that he had calmed down before sitting back on the soft couch again.
"Yelulan and Yeluling sent people to investigate? Is the news true?"
"Yes!" Yelu Heyi nodded, "I sent several groups of people to investigate, and even used the hidden stakes they buried in Xiao's house, but the results were the same. Moreover, this time it was so serious that it was not just lip service. Instead, they actually opened an ancestral hall and crossed out the name from the family tree. It is precisely because of this that we are convinced that the news is true and not a conspiracy of the Xiao family."
"Expelled from the family, removed from the family tree... there was quite a big fuss this time!" Shen Cha touched his chin, "Speaking of which, Xiao Fengqi has indeed not been to the Xiao family's old house for a while. When he came two days ago, I mentioned a few words, but I didn't take it seriously. I thought it was the elder of the family who was messing around again, and he didn't want to go back and be angry. But it's not just a day or two that they have been at odds. They tolerated it so many times before, why this time? You can’t bear it, you have to make such a big noise? That’s the same thing, it’s unreasonable!”
"It should be due to the recent incidents. The contradictions and conflicts between them are more serious and irreconcilable than before, so it has evolved into the current situation." Yelu Heyi stretched out a finger, "First of all It was the Xiao family elders who sent people to assassinate the generals and military advisors behind Xiao Fengqi's back. They did not discuss it with Xiao Fengqi in advance, but in the name of Xiao Fengqi, they moved Xiao Fengqi's people. They thought well, and if the assassination was successful, it would be theirs. Credit, failure is Xiao Fengqi’s fault.”
"What a good idea. As the leader of the Xiao family, Xiao Fengqi will bear the blame."
"What the general said is true." Yelu Heyi nodded, "Yelunan sent people to escort the killer around the Xiao family's old residence. Everyone in Linhuang Mansion knew that this was something done by the Xiao family. There were an unusual number of accusations. But within two days, there was news from the Xiao family that the mastermind behind it was Xiao Fengqi. I heard that when they had a meeting in the old house, Xiao Fengqi severely damaged several elders. All I had to do was point my nose at them and scold them for being stupid. The two sides had such a quarrel that they even overturned the table, and ended up breaking up on bad terms!"
"Did the news about the mastermind behind the killer leak out after this meeting?" Shen Cha looked at the boiled teapot, took the tea cup next to it, and gave Yelu Heyi a spoonful of tea soup. "The elders are too small-minded and have a grudge against Xiao Fengqi."
"That's what happened." Yelu Heyi took the hot tea from Shen Cha, blew the hot air, took a sip and continued, "From that day on, Xiao Fengqi's visits to our house became less and less, and it was inevitable every time. There was a quarrel, but it didn't go as far as expulsion. The secret stake of the Xiao family said that the elders made this decision because of the Japanese."
"Japanese?" Shen Cha thought for a moment and snorted coldly, "There's something in his words. He revealed all the information to me."
"What does it mean?"
"When he came two days ago, he mentioned that the Xiao family had contacts with the Japanese many years ago, but for some unknown reason, they all died at the hands of the Japanese. The death was quite tragic. I asked him at that time, is it? It was not because he wanted to overthrow the Yelu family and he enlisted the help of the Japanese. He just smiled and did not answer directly. Thinking about it now, he was hinting to me that there are people in the Xiao family who have close relations with the Japanese. Wanyan Xiyu Behind the attack, someone from the Xiao family intervened."
"The First Elder, Second Elder, and Sixth Elder all had a hand in this Japanese case and provided them with some conveniences."
"Is that small courtyard under the Xiao family's name?"
"The first elder and the second elder are brothers-in-law, and this house is the dowry of their wife's eldest nephew and daughter-in-law." Yelu Heyi sighed, "Xiao Fengqi was completely angered after hearing the news. Their family has a bloody feud with the Japanese. Elders Instead of thinking about revenge, he joined forces with his enemies to make the spirits of the deceased uneasy, which is an unforgivable crime. This time, Xiao Fengqi is not fighting alone. Several brothers who usually play well with him and support his decision are standing by him. On one side, he denounced the elders sternly. This time the quarrel was louder than any before. Not only did they quarrel, but they also moved their hands. According to the hidden stake, the three elders were all injured, and the elder's arm was injured. Xiao Fengqi's fourth brother was broken. With things like this, it is impossible to make peace. The elders will never allow the younger generation to be so presumptuous in front of them. No matter who says anything, they are determined to make these things in their eyes Those who are disrespectful and cause trouble will be expelled."
"If it is true, I will support Xiao Fengqi this time." Shen Cha took a deep breath, "After Xiao Fengqi was kicked out, did he want to start his own business, or..." She looked at Yelu Heyi, "He can't stand alone now. , he should be looking for Yelulan and Yelunan, right?"
"The general is wise, that's exactly what happened, but those two didn't accept it."
"Xiao Fengqi needs to be carefully observed." Shen Cha nodded, "Don't let tigers cause trouble just because you are sympathetic or soft-hearted."
"They said that Xiao Fengqi didn't really come to vote. People like him would never submit to others. It's just that he is currently weak and has no choice but to bow his head."
"Xiao Fengqi has always been a ruthless person, and I am still skeptical about his being kicked out this time." Seeing Yelu Heyi's confused expression, Shen Cha explained, "Sacrificing something for a larger plot, It’s something he can do.”
"The general means..." Yelu Heyi looked shocked, "No way? This is too..."
"It is indeed unbelievable. If you can really dominate this country in the future, what will the temporary grievance be? I have just said it, don't be fooled by the appearance, you must see the real problem. As far as this matter is concerned , the Xiao family would do more harm than good by kicking Xiao Fengqi out. After the limelight is over, if you investigate carefully, you should get a different answer." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "Even if the Xiao family really breaks up with Xiao Fengqi, Then, they are also in the wrong. Colluding with the Japanese is disgraceful. If Xiao Fengqi reveals the truth, the Xiao family will be completely ruined. Not only will they be unable to gain a foothold in Linhuang Mansion and the Liao Kingdom, no country will accept them. . Xiao Fengqi will have a better reputation if he is kicked out at this time. My guess is that you should tell Yerunan word for word, and he will understand what I mean."
"yes!"
Shen Cha turned to look at the sky outside, "It's getting late, you should leave. If it's any later, they will become suspicious."
"Yes, it's time to go back!"
"Don't worry about your family affairs, we will take good care of it. When you are done and return home in fine clothes, you can be reunited as a family!"
"Yes, thank you so much, general!" Yelu Heyi stood up and saluted Shen Cha solemnly, "I bid farewell to you, general. I hope you and the general will take care of themselves. I will always pray for you two. .”
"Okay!" Shen Cha reached out to help him up, "You two brothers should also take care and take care of yourselves. We look forward to seeing you again soon!"
