Chapter 164: The Old Butler Tells the Secret

"Uncle Shu, you have been in our house for so long, I want to ask you about this, I hope you can answer me." Fanli seemed to ask him in this somewhat commanding tone.

This old housekeeper also knows that Fanli may be very eager to know the events of the past now, and his obvious perfunctory past is obviously not good. I saw that he was not too shivering, old and old, and he was slowly holding the table and sitting on the stool next to him.

"Young master, you are what I grew up watching. , after all these years, I also know your temper. I'm sure you didn't ask me these questions on a whim, and you must have thought it through. The old butler sat there, opened his mouth slightly, and said.

He watched as the bowl of potion on the table gradually became much lighter, and then he looked up at the old butler who was sitting there.

"What do you want to ask? You ask slowly, and what I know may be told to you. The old butler's eyes seemed to be filled with a sense of sadness.

Fanli suddenly looked a little incredulous, because he didn't expect things to go so smoothly so often, but the old butler's happiness made him a little uncomfortable, Fanli still mustered up the courage to ask:

"I want to know about the big war 40 years ago, what did the Fanjia experience in that war?"

The old man raised his head, his eyes seemed to be full of the vicissitudes of history, he raised his head and looked at the paintings on the wall and recalled some things in the past:

"I came to the Fanjia family when I was very young, so I came from your grandfather's generation. I just remember that many people died in that great war, and it was because of a decision made by your father. ”

"And what's next? What happened next? My father was not the one to do things so suddenly. Fan Li said very firmly.

"Next your father once sent people to a mountain, and he asked this servant to pick up a person, and this person was the undercover agent who triggered the hunt of the two major families at that time, and it was also the fuse that triggered the great war." The old butler sat there, as if he had sunk into the events of the past.

Later, the old housekeeper said that the person who escaped from the Liang family back then was actually an undercover agent of the Chen family, in a more accurate sense, he was the person cultivated by the Fan family, and this undercover agent was one of the puppets cultivated by those elders back then.

The Fan family was a little stunned when he heard the boss's words, he suddenly couldn't understand what the old housekeeper was saying, and he sat alone and looked at the old housekeeper with stupid eyes.

The old housekeeper then said to him that the person who escaped from the Liang family was known to others back then was an undercover agent of the Chen family.

In fact, I didn't know that at first, that person was sent by the Fan family to the Chen family to be an undercover agent, and because he was later reused by the Chen family, he was sent to the Liang family to be an undercover agent.

Several elders knew about this, but only your father didn't know at the time, because these puppets were secretly cultivated by the elders.

They don't want your father to intervene in this matter, because they know that if your father does, he will probably not agree with them.

But when this matter was finally noticed by your father, the Liang family and the Chen family over there broke out because of this puppet.

Seeing that it was about to be impossible to hide, this puppet came up with a way to run back to the Fan family in desperation, and the Fan family didn't seem to accept this, because this puppet stole a core secret in the Liang family at that time, and not many people didn't know what this core secret was.

I only know that the Liang family issued a hunt and kill order at that time, and even if they offended many people, they would find that person as an undercover traitor. Later, with the help of your father, the puppet finally survived.

"And why did my father get involved in this? Could it be that it was just because this puppet was a member of the Fan family, so he did not hesitate to offend two of the four major families of the Chen family and the Liang family. Fanli asked in disbelief.

"Of course, your father is not so stupid, he knows what is important, but if it weren't for the huge temptation of profit, do you think he would have kept this puppet? It's because this puppet has something very important in his hands. The old man said as if choked.

"What could be the secret? What's the secret? In the past, there was such a great temptation of profit. So that my father had to participate in the war between these two large families. Fanli muttered to himself in confusion.

Suddenly, Fanli remembered one thing again, so where is the puppet that was rescued back then?

The old butler stopped the words that he was about to spit out just now, and after hearing Fanli's question, his eyes finally had a light for the first time, and his eyes stared at Fanli's eyes tightly.

"You guessed it, I'm the puppet back then. I was the undercover agent who escaped from the Liang family that year. There was a sonorous power in the old man's words.

Fan Li was stunned, his hand holding the medicine bowl stopped, and he kept looking at his own reflection in the medicine bowl, and then raised his head to look at the old butler in front of him.

After a long while, Fanli put down the bowl in his hand, and he slowly stood up on the table, as if there were some unsteadiness in his gait.

He came to the old butler's side step by step, and his demeanor seemed to reveal a sense of seriousness:

"Uncle Shu, you are the person you were back then, so why are you still in the Fan family today, and why are you still in the Fan family for so long? What else do you know about those things back then? ”

"I was saved by your father back then, and the elders who trained me were ready to abandon me, they thought I was an outcast, and they thought I was of no great use." The old butler choked up and said, although so many years have passed, it is enough to see the sorrow in his heart.

"Actually, your father didn't know about my existence, but when the Liang family and the Chen family led the fire to the Fanjia area, these elders really couldn't contain the fire, so they told your father. Your father said it was useless to abandon me now, for the fire had already been drawn to the family. The old butler said in a hoarse voice, almost with tears in his eyes.

Fanli looked at the old man in front of him as if he was very sad, and he was trying to persuade him not to be so sad, but he didn't know what to say at this time.

Since he had experienced so many things at the beginning, and finally chose to stay in the Fanjia family, he must have his own reasons for staying here.

"You have been in the Fan family for so many years, and I have long treated you as an adult. Some things are in the past and let him pass for the time being, and what we are doing now is more important for the future. Fanli seemed to have a unique way to say this.
