Chapter 163: Ask the old butler
After the two police officers left, the Fanjia family also fell into a very silent environment. They were all wondering why this was happening.
It is estimated that several elders will not understand too much until now, how they lost to Fanli, if Fanli had not prepared in advance, their approach this time would definitely be successful.
If this is the case, then Fan Li must have been well prepared a long time ago, and several elders couldn't help but be a little scared, they didn't even know that this Fan Li might know anything else.
Later, they began to grow jealous of Fanli, but they would not back down because of this. And for these elders, their rights have been completely hollowed out, and these positions are all appointed by people who have been trained by Fanli himself.
Anyway, thinking that he had appropriately begun to arrange people in his four major families at this time, among which he married his sister into the Jiang family.
And the other three Liang families, the Chen family and the Song family, do not have their own henchmen in it. As for the people who were arranged in these major families back then, that is, the puppets that these elders had cultivated for many years, no one could find out their roots.
If the puppets cultivated by these elders are deeply rooted in the other three major families, if they want to rebel one day, a few of them will be the puppets of the family, and it is very likely that the next big war will be triggered if they are uprooted.
The more Fan Li thought about this, the more worried he became, these hands must not be easy to detect, and it is not easy to notice, but they have been secretly tinkering behind their backs.
Although the four families now seem calm and stable on the surface, they are like a volcanic crater about to erupt, and the magma inside is already tumbling in pain, just waiting for the right moment to rush out.
Fanli was thinking that this thing must not be allowed to go on like this, and he must find a way to stop and prevent this from happening. These elders secretly cultivated their own puppets.
His own father had long guessed about this, but what he didn't understand was why his father hadn't stopped a few elders back then.
He had been wondering if his father knew anything about the events of the year, and perhaps it was very likely that his father was also involved in the cultivation of these puppets, but he was just unaware of it.
Otherwise, his father would definitely say these things to himself or his brother before he died, and since he didn't say it, it means that he definitely can't say it.
Fanli was thinking about why he couldn't say this, even his closest son.
This has always been a mystery, but Fan Li has not found a better person to solve this mystery for him, and the only thing he can do now is to continue to explore the truth of the year by himself.
At this time, the rain outside the hall was still dripping, and the painting in the hall still looked like a ghost, with red, piercing eyes and fierce eyes.
Anyway, at this time, he felt that his head was extremely painful, because he didn't know what had happened to him recently, and the whole person fell into a feeling of a buzzing head.
Later, the butler came in with a bowl of tea, which was a medicine that Fanli had drunk since he was a child.
Because he was born with annoyance, his health was not very good, and his father at that time looked for a doctor and finally found a prescription that could cure his own disease for him.
And I heard that it was difficult to find medicine primers at that time, so my father sought the help of several elders at that time to find these medicine primers.
Later, these medicines were kept by the old housekeeper for himself, and every time he boiled them and then brought them out to himself. That day, together with him and Officer Zhang, in the cave, the butler who found the body of the puppet in the glass was the son of the old butler.
The old butler was still hunched over as usual, and carefully brought the medicines. The brewed medicinal soup took on a slightly pale color, which was a little different from the previous two days.
"Is it time to change this medicine, I guess it should be the third time today, you can take a new medicine bag out and continue to boil." By the way, Uncle Shu, I want to ask you one thing, I don't know if you know about the big war 40 years ago? Fanli looked at him holding the medicine bowl at this time.
The rickety hunchbacked Shu Bo slowly put the medicine in front of his desk, and then raised his two dizzy eyes, his eyes were idle and tired, and the older ones were also dizzy and couldn't open their eyelids, just like carrying the whole bulging eyeballs.
"If you say something, you talk slowly, and I listen slowly." The old man gave Fanli the medicine on the table.
"Actually, there's nothing to do, I just want to ask you something. It's about the incident in Fanjia 40 years ago, and the war in our family 40 years ago. Fanli cautiously looked at his unopen eyelids and asked.
The glorious movements in the old man's hand were obviously slowing, but his hand still seemed to be stirring the medicine in the bowl from side to side:
"It happened 40 years ago, so long ago, the old man's memory is not good, and many things have long been remembered clearly."
Fanli looked at him in a daze, he knew that the old man in front of him was obviously unwilling to mention the events of the year to himself. But you also know that he doesn't want to mention it, so this is the first time in so many years that he has asked him about it.
The old housekeeper had long been aware of the doubts in Fanli's heart, but Fanli hadn't mentioned this matter to him before.
And he has been silent and has never mentioned this matter, and even any information about this matter, he has not mentioned a word for so many years.
It is precisely this that makes Fanli suspicious, some things are good not to mention, but it is different not to mention them for so many years, maybe it is too cautious that makes careful people feel that something is wrong.
"Uncle Shu, I think you have been in the Fan family for a while, I remember that it seems that you came to the Fan family when my grandfather was alive, so you are more or less an elder in the Fan family, right." Fanli watched the stopped movements in Shu Bo's hand gradually stopped, and then his attention turned to Shu Bo's whole demeanor.
"I remember when I first came to Fanjia, it seemed like a long time ago. At that time, your father was only a few months old, and your grandfather brought me to the family, but he pity me for having no father and mother at that time. After all these years, I've been here all my life, and he's my home. The old butler seldom said there with a sigh.
