Chapter 92: The Patriarch
Yan Li never expected that the condition that Yan Lang promised to use for himself was to ask him to help him kill Qi Juemin.
Qi Juemin is the patriarch of the Qi clan, and if he is killed, the Qi clan will definitely be in chaos.
He didn't respond immediately, but only said that he would give him an answer after thinking about it.
After returning home, Yan Li told Qi Tanying about it.
Qi Tanying was stunned when she heard this, she never thought that Qi Sanniang would have an affair with someone before entering the palace.
Yan Li handed the silk handkerchief to his wife, Qi Tanying quickly browsed it, and it was difficult to calm down after reading it.
This is evidence of the palace concubine's fornication with a foreign man, if someone finds out that the news has leaked, the entire Qi family will be finished.
Although she is married, her younger brother and mother are still members of the Qi family, and the Qi family is guilty, and they will also be implicated.
At this moment, she really hated Qi Juemin, he knew that Qi Sanniang had a promise, and he used this to coerce her into the palace to run for election, for his own selfish desires, putting the clansmen in a dangerous situation.
She subconsciously wanted to destroy the silk handkerchief, but was stopped by Yan Li.
He said, "It's useful to keep it." ”
Qi Tanying looked at him and said excitedly: "Do you know how much danger it will bring to the Qi clan once the information on this silk handkerchief spreads?" ”
Bullying the monarch and defiling the palace is a big crime!
Yan Li hurriedly comforted his wife, "Don't worry, I'll show you something for my husband." ”
As soon as the words fell, he took out a green porcelain bottle, lifted the lid, and poured the liquid in the porcelain bottle evenly on the silk handkerchief.
Strange to say, as soon as the handwriting on the silk handkerchief was stained with liquid, the handwriting began to fade, and after a few breaths, the handwriting returned to its previous quiet and snow-white appearance.
Qi Tanying was stunned, then picked up the silk handkerchief and took a closer look, there was nothing. She was puzzled, "Why is the handwriting on the silk handkerchief missing?" ”
Yan Li took out a white porcelain vase again, demonstrated it according to the previous steps, and the handwriting on the silk handkerchief appeared again.
Yan Li explained: "Yan Lang's grandfather used to be a former pilgrim thief, and he was the best at strange and obscene techniques. These two potions, which make handwriting visible and invisible, are the secret recipes handed down by his ancestors. ”
Qi Tanying suddenly realized, it turned out that Qi Shisanniang dared to let herself help her pass the news, just relying on this secret recipe.
She was about to speak, when she heard Yan Li talk about Yan Lang's other skills.
It turned out that Yan Lang not only inherited the lifelong skills of stealing saints, but even outperformed the blue, and researched many exquisite hidden weapons for life-saving purposes.
Qi Juemin forced Qi Shisanniang to run for election, Yan Lang wanted to take his lover away and fly away, but who knew that he was discovered by Qi Juemin.
Qi Juemin threatened Qi for thirteen years with Yan Lang's life, and Qi Sanniang had no choice but to enter the palace to run for election.
Yan Lang fell into the hands of Qi Juemin and suffered a lot, but fortunately, his life was worry-free, and he later escaped with the skills passed down from his ancestors. He hid in Tibet for a while.
Xue Rongzhai's shopkeeper received the great favor of Yan Lang's grandfather, took him in at risk, and tried every means to deliver his news to the palace.
Then there was the matter of Qi Sanniang summoning Qi Tanying and asking her to help deliver the news.
Yan Li stared at his wife with a straight face, "Ah Tan, I want him to be used by me." ”
Qi Tanying's heart tightened, she understood that Yan Li was planning to get rid of Qi Juemin.
She looked at him calmly, "You are the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, you can't do things that careless of people's lives." ”
She advised him, "Although Qi Juemin has done all the bad things, his life should not be decided by us." ”
"You're right." Yan Li agreed, so he planned to borrow a knife to kill someone. As far as he knew, Qi Juemin still had a few enemies in Wuzhou.
Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Yan Li suddenly had an idea in his heart and asked his wife: "Ah Tan, apart from Qi Juemin in your Qi clan, who else do you think can be qualified for the position of patriarch?" ”
Qi Tanying thought seriously for a while, and said, "Qi Weimin, the third uncle of the long house, has no shortage of virtue and ability. ”
Qi Weimin? Yan Li had a little more doubt on his face, how could this name sound a little familiar.
Qi Tanying said: "Although he is the same mother as Qi Juemin, he has never been a person all the way. A few years ago, he had a dispute with Qi Juemin because of the abuse of his sister-in-law by his heir, and in disappointment, he took his wife and children to live in Rongcheng, and he has not returned to his hometown for several years. ”
If he can become the patriarch of the Qi clan, presumably the atmosphere in the clan will not be bad.
It's just that Qi Juemin has many supporters in the clan, even if the third uncle becomes the patriarch, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.
Unlike Qi Tanying's worries, Yan Li already has a countermeasure in his heart, as long as it can be implemented smoothly, he can quietly solve Qi Juemin.
He did not tell his wife what he thought, first, for fear of scaring her, and secondly, considering that she was also a member of the Qi clan.
It wasn't until two months later, when the news of Qi Juemin's death reached Kyoto, that Qi Tanying didn't know what he had done behind his back.
When Yan Li came back from duty, Qi Tanying immediately asked him for an explanation.
Yan Li spread his hands and said, "Qi Juemin died at the hands of the Limai Mountain bandits, and he has nothing to do with me. ”
Qi Tanying didn't believe a word about his words.
Qi Juemin would go to Limai Mountain countless times every winter, and he had never had anything before. However, after Yan Lang asked to kill him, he happened to meet the mountain bandits of Limai Mountain.
Seeing that his wife's face was not good-looking, Yan Li hurriedly said: "I didn't lie to you, his death must have been committed by the mountain bandits of Limai Mountain." ”
After a pause, he asked Qi Tanying again: "You should know Lian Qichu, right?" He is the leader of the mountain bandits in Limai Mountain. ”
Qi Tanying silently recited the name Lian Qichu several times, and it took a long time to remember who he was.
The younger brother of Lian's sister-in-law was buried in the fire with 27 members of the Lian family as early as the second year of Yuanhe.
When the Lian family had an accident, Qi Tanying was still in infancy. Later, after the sister-in-law of Lian was abused by the heir in the clan, Qi Tanying heard Mrs. Qi mention it.
At that time, Lian's sister-in-law was pregnant, and the entire Lian family died, leaving her as a married daughter alive. Lian's sister-in-law was stimulated, the child in her belly was not saved, and she was injured.
Lian's sister-in-law's husband has been sick since he was a child, and after the child was gone, his body took a sharp turn for the worse, and he followed him half a year later.
In order to continue the incense, Lian's sister-in-law succeeded a six-year-old child in the clan as an heir under the arrangement of her in-laws.
Lian's sister-in-law did her best to raise her heir, from worrying about his studies, to arranging marriages for him, and then to buying him family property.
There is no place where she can't live with her heir, but she was kicked out of the house by him on a cold day.
If it weren't for Qi Weimin's wife who couldn't bear it and took her back to settle down, there would have been no incorruptible sister-in-law in this world.
The heir dared to treat Lian's sister-in-law like this, and the clansmen looked at him coldly, not because Lian's sister-in-law did not have the support of her mother's family.
If there is still someone in the Lian family, how can she fall into a situation where she has no one to rely on.
Therefore, Qi Tanying didn't believe it anyway, the leader of the mountain bandits in Limai Mountain was Lian Qichu.
