After listening to Mrs. Wanyan's story, Shen Cha now fully understood where Wanyanping's extremely paranoid character came from. She had always thought that it came from the Wanyan family and the Wanyan clan. After all, the Wanyan family was quite I was paranoid, but I didn’t expect that Mrs. Wanyan, whom I had never met and died young, was the real source. In other words, everyone in the Tantai family was so crazy in their hearts.
She suddenly remembered what Tantai Pingchuan once said. The people of the Tantai family regard themselves as the favored sons of heaven, and believe that everyone should revolve around them. Once anyone or anything does not go according to their liking, they will take crazy revenge. Even if it is his own king, he will not let it go.
Now it seems that Wanyanping is indeed a person with the blood of the Tantai family. She has perfectly inherited the inherent flaws in the Tantai family's character. Looking at her various crazy actions, it is true that she is not wrong at all.
"Tell me in detail." Shen Cha raised his chin towards Old Man Qian, "How did you plan with Mrs. Wanyan."
"We did not come up with a complete and detailed plan at the beginning. Instead, we persuaded Mrs. Wanyan not to fall out with Wanyan Zongcheng and the Wanyan family for the time being, but to fight with them, find their respective weaknesses, and attack them one by one. , Mrs. Wanyan agreed."
"Agreed?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "How did she do it? Wanyan Zongcheng was still a neglected prince back then!"
"We don't know very well about this. She should have her own way. We have never asked, but she did pass on a lot of useful information to us, helping us to truly understand the Wanyan family and everyone's situation. . Therefore, we can quickly target each of their weaknesses and develop a method that can hit them with one hit."
"Mrs. Wanyan has made great achievements!"
"Yes, the early stage went very smoothly. We couldn't even imagine how smooth it was. We all thought it was a dream! However, not long after, such good days ended."
"Why?" Shen Cha was stunned, "She regretted it?"
"It's not that I regretted it, but Mrs. Wanyan became pregnant, and the contact between us had to stop. About seven or eight months later, Wanyan Ping was born. Mrs. Wanyan... It is said that she died of dystocia, but she My sister said that Mrs. Wanyan died because of Wanyan Zongcheng. No one can tell the specific circumstances now."
"Mrs. Wanyan's sister?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Isn't she a junior sister?"
"Oh, that's it, General, I need to explain this matter." Old Man Qian glanced at Shen Cha, "Before Mrs. Wanyan married Wanyan Zongcheng, she was worried that her identity as a Tantai tribe member would be exposed, which would cause some Unnecessary trouble. The old man felt that it was because she had been told by her family since she was a child that she could not easily tell others about her life experience. Therefore, her relatives and clansmen all regarded themselves as their disciples. Therefore, Wanyan Zongcheng always thought that they He has no blood relationship with his wife, which is the main reason why he refuses to lend a helping hand when life and death are at stake."
"Understood." Shen Cha nodded, "Continue, after Mrs. Wanyan passed away, who replaced her and got in touch with you?"
"It's her sister. Her sister has restored contact with us. At the same time, she is doing her best to raise Wanyanping up. She will continue to cooperate with us in accordance with her previous commitment to us."
"While you are waiting for Wanyan Ping to grow up, you are not idle and continue to deal with Prince Ning, right?"
"...Yes." Old Man Qian sighed, "Actually, it was also because of a very accidental situation. The old man followed the head of the family and Xiao Wu out for an outing. They passed by Xijing City and heard many stories about Prince Ning, which aroused our interest. We were alert and thought that this young man was likely to become our opponent in the future and must be eliminated. During this period, we did not have any arrangements for the Kingdom of Jin, so we turned our target to Daxia. Although the Tantai family fell It has been many years, but after all, Xijing is our home base that we have been operating for hundreds of years, and there are still many loyal old subordinates. It is more convenient to cause some small troubles in Xijing City and inquire about some important people."
"What have you done? Tell me."
Old Man Qian talked about several key things, including the fire in the palace, the various unbelievable things that happened to His Highness Prince Ning’s biological mother and her natal family, and the accidents that happened to the courtiers related to His Highness Prince Ning. Wait, as long as he can still remember, he will confess everything.
What Old Man Qian said was basically consistent with what the previous Prince Dai and His Highness Prince Ning told Shen Cha, but it was just a little more detailed.
"What is your purpose for doing this? To disrupt Xijing City and cause panic among officials and people?" Shen Cha looked at Old Qian with a puzzled look, "But it didn't achieve the effect you wanted!"
"We are just targeting Prince Ning while punishing some people with small punishments and severe punishments." Old Man Qian sat up straight, looking very proud, "Many of them were once subjects of the Tantai family. We have all received favors from the Tantai family, but instead of repaying the favor, we still stand on the opposite side of the Tantai family and go against the Tantai family. If we don’t clean up the situation, how can we show the majesty of the Tantai family?”
"You..." Shen Cha suppressed the anger in his heart, "Do you have any misunderstandings about yourself? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to show your so-called majesty? What qualifications do you have to dictate other people's lives and positions? A small punishment but a big punishment? Do you think you deserve it?"
"Because we are a century-old clan and we have been glorious in the past."
"It was just once, how amazing was it?" Shen Cha sneered, "Even now, haven't you only dared to hide in the gutter and not dare to show up openly?" The whip in his hand hit the stone table next to him hard. She went up, pulled off a corner of the stone table, and showed a sinister smile to Old Man Qian, "Ignorant and arrogant fool!"
General, things have already happened, and so many years have passed. No matter how angry or furious you are, it is useless. "Old man Qian looked unconcerned, "Anyway, our goal has been achieved, and those people have become cautious. They thought it was because they were too close to Prince Ning, so they were drifting away from him. Later, there were some connections between the Kingdom of Jin and Daxia. It was the old King of Jin who sent his son to Xijing as a proton. It would be fine if the eldest prince could be his proton honestly, but he wanted to be with Prince Ning. The eldest sister is related to me. Isn’t this just taking the initiative to give us a handle? "
"So, you took advantage of this?"
"Of course, anyone who doesn't take advantage of such a good opportunity is a fool." Old Man Qian adjusted his sitting posture, "It's just that when we received the news, the eldest prince had already returned to the Kingdom of Jin, and we didn't have time to arrange anything. At that time, we thought he might return to Xijing City, so we said we had to wait, but we didn’t expect that we would have to wait for nearly ten years.”
