"The royal family of the previous dynasty?" Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao and Hongye looked at each other. The three people's expressions were all surprised and confused. Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian and said, "Why did the royal family of the previous dynasty do it themselves?" An organization of killers and assassins? Isn’t it easy for them to kill someone they want? Do they need to be sneaky?”
"It's a long story!" Xue Ruitian sighed softly and looked at Shen Haolin, "You say it, or should I?"
"Tell me, I just guessed that Riyi Pavilion was related to the previous royal family, but I didn't know the inside story." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "By the way, I remembered that the previous royal family was from a famous family. A noble family, but not that prominent. It seems that their ancestors were in the world before?"
"That's right!" Those who stayed.”
"In other words, Riyi Pavilion is actually the ancestral property. They relied on the ancestral property to conquer the world, and they also attracted wealthy families like Wang Xie who wanted to be very talented in governing the country. The previous dynasty only had a kingdom of nearly four hundred years. It was no?"
"Xiaocha is right." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Riyi Pavilion is indeed the ancestral property of the previous dynasty's royal family, and it is usually controlled by the clan leader. However, after the founding of the previous dynasty, it was not very convenient for the emperor to control this ancestral property personally. , and transferred it to his confidants."
"My confidant has a different surname?"
"They are brothers who are intertwined in life and death. They crawled out from the dead together." The kind that is dead. Because it cannot be true to the facts, after the founding of the previous dynasty, the royal family transferred Riyi Pavilion. On the surface, it had nothing to do with the royal family. In fact, all the income from Riyi Pavilion went into the emperor's private treasury. "
"What a good plan!" Shen Cha sneered, "You can still make most of the money without any black reputation. The reputation of the former royal family as a money-loving family is really well-deserved."
"The brother with a different surname who took over Riyi Pavilion is..." Shen Haolin looked at Xue Ruitian, "Zhan Fangyan, the former general who protected the country, right?"
"That's right, that's him!" Xue Ruitian smiled and nodded towards Shen Haolin, "The later Riyi Pavilion was all decided by Zhan, and it gradually became the number one assassin sect in the world."
"But..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Based on our understanding of the previous royal family, although they have no ability, they think they are great and are very suspicious. They are not worried about the Zhan family betraying them one day. Regicide and rebellion?"
"That's not the case. As I said before, the two brothers have a life-saving relationship with each other. Whoever the Zhan family betrays will not betray the previous royal family."
"A life-saving relationship? If you save my life, do you mean that I will save yours?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nod, Shen Cha chuckled, "We can share joys and sorrows, but we cannot share wealth and honor. There are so many brothers, and it's not uncommon for brothers who are close friends to fall out in the end, isn't it? According to my understanding of them, it's not that they have special trust in each other, but that each should have something in the other's hands. If it is easily exposed, I’m afraid the previous dynasty will fall apart, right?”
"Don't say anything if you see through it." Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with what we said, don't pay too much attention."
"What happened next? If the previous royal family had such a powerful weapon as Riyi Pavilion, the last emperor wouldn't have been tricked into doing that by Master Cui, right?"
"Because later on, the palace of the Protector General was confiscated and the Zhan family was completely wiped out. Riyi Pavilion changed hands several times. Now, the person in charge is no longer the former royal family. However, it is somewhat related to the former royal family. The last two generations The person in charge is a branch of the previous royal family."
"One question." Shen Cha stretched out a finger and said with curiosity on his face, "What did the General Protector's Office do? How did he end up in this situation? Is he really plotting rebellion?"
"How should I put it?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "Probably he was so powerful that he shocked the master, but then he didn't know how to restrain himself, and was tricked by others."
"Tell me!" Hongye poked Xue Ruitian's waist,
He said, "I am very interested in this. The secrets of the past dynasty are not something that just anyone can hear."
Xue Ruitian looked helplessly at Hong Ye, then at Jin Miaomiao and Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Jing who were also looking at him curiously. He sighed softly and nodded.
"Anyway, I've already checked it out. It would be a waste of money not to tell anyone." Xue Ruitian took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and waved his hand towards Ying Si at the door, "Xiao Cha just said that the Zhan family holds the handle of the former royal family. , right? Originally, they didn't want to use it, but their descendants really couldn't live up to the expectations. Seeing the decline of the Zhan family from generation to generation, and gradually losing their original position in the court, they had a wrong idea. "
"Do they want to use this secret to threaten the previous royal family and give them a pension position?"
"More or less, it is to ensure the prosperity and wealth of future generations." Xue Ruitian sighed softly, "But at that time, not only was the Zhan family declining, but the previous royal family was also in decline, and had to be controlled by the famous family headed by Wang Xie. Control the government. Therefore, the Zhan family threatens not the former royal family, but Wang Xie."
"Oh, I understand!" Hong Ye clapped her hands, "The big families headed by Wang Xie seem to value civility over military affairs. In fact, they raise their own private soldiers, but they will not let generals like the Zhan family have the possibility to rise again. , knowing that the Zhan family held a secret of the royal family, and they wanted to use this secret as a threat in exchange for their own interests, so they took action in advance and charged them with treason and rebellion, completely letting this secret disappear, right?"
"Yes!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "If you want the secret not to be made public, you want the people who know the secret to disappear completely. When it comes to ruthlessness, if these famous families dare to be second, no one can be the first, right? Zhan Zhan The people in the family also didn’t expect that they just wanted to be rich and wealthy and didn’t want to get involved in court disputes, but they were plotted against them and ruined the lives of the entire family.”
"The Zhan family is gone, what about Ri Yi Pavilion?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Logically speaking, if the Zhan family holds Ri Yi Pavilion, their life will not be miserable every day. Could it be that at that time, Ri Yi Pavilion Has the pavilion been changed hands?"
