What Qi Tanying didn't know was that Yan Li wasn't actually lying. Qi Juemin was indeed killed by Lian Qichu, and he just played a role in connecting the strings.

Because, Qi Juemin is the culprit of the Lian family's fire, and the reason is to get the Lian family's heirloom - warm fragrant jade wall.

The warm incense jade wall is a whole piece of jade five feet long and three feet wide, which is cold and hot and has a strange fragrance.

At that time, Qi Juemin got acquainted with a distinguished guest from Kyoto, and the distinguished guest came to warm the fragrant jade wall.

The Qi family and the Lian family are in-laws, and Qi Juemin wants to spend a lot of money to buy the warm fragrant jade wall, but the warm fragrant jade wall is a family heirloom of the Lian family, and the head of the Lian family naturally refuses to sell it.

So he politely rejected Qi Juemin.

Qi Juemin did not give up, and increased his chips, not only promising a lot of money to buy, but also a piece of Lantian jade.

The head of the Lian family still refused, and said that as a descendant of the Lian family, he must not break the inheritance of the ancestors.

Qi Juemin ran into a wall at the head of the Lian family one after another, and was repeatedly urged and blamed by the distinguished guest, and in a fit of anger, he had the intention of killing people and taking treasures.

That's why there was the fire in the second year of Yuanhe. The fire burned for a day and a night, and all the members of the Lian family, except for the sister-in-law of Lian, who was married outside, all more than 50 people died.

The heirloom of the Lian family, the warm incense jade wall, is also nowhere to be found.

Just when everyone felt pity and grief for the Lian family, Lian Qichu, the younger brother of Lian's sister-in-law, did not die, but was rescued by a thief who sneaked into the Lian family to steal things.

Later, he became a mountain bandit in Limai Mountain by mistake, and when he learned that the tragedy was caused by the warm fragrance jade wall, he found Qi Juemin by touching the melon.

He hated Qi Juemin and resented the Qi family and the sister-in-law Lian who married into the Qi family, so he was indifferent after the sister-in-law Lian was kicked out of the house by the heir.

Lian Qichu stayed in Limai Mountain for ten years, and in order to take revenge, he climbed step by step to the position of the leader of the mountain bandits since he was a child.

He once set up an ambush and killed Qi Juemin in Limai Mountain, but Keke was evaded by him every time, and he also attracted the government to suppress bandits. Limai Mountain's vitality was greatly injured and had to retreat to the mountains to recuperate.

Qi Juemin thought that the mountain bandits in Limai Mountain had already been wiped out by the government, and he was cautious when he passed through Limai Mountain in the first two years, but he relaxed his vigilance in the past two years.

After dormant for a few years, Lian Qichu finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge.

When Qi Juemin's head was cut off, warm blood splashed on his face, and Lian Qichu, who had been tormented by hatred for more than ten years, was finally redeemed.

When Yan Li told all the truth, Qi Tanying was shocked, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Qi Juemin's bad exceeded her expectations, and the incriminating evidence in her hand was nothing compared to his destruction of the door and the seizure of the treasure, which was more than fifty lives alive.

This happy death can be regarded as cheap for him.

Qi Tanying wanted to know who the distinguished guest from Kyoto was, if it wasn't for the treasures he coveted the Lian family, the Lian family would not have caused a catastrophe.

Yan Li said: "At the beginning of the Holy Lord's succession, King Yu was fed cold poison, and he needed to take a Tuhuo Pill every ten days, and one Tuhuo Pill was worth 100 gold, and he needed thirty-six pills in a year. ”

Tu Huo Dan is expensive, but it can only temporarily suppress the cold poison, and cannot cure the cold poison eradicately, but will lead to the accumulation of cold poison and loss of life. If you have a warm jade, it can not only reduce the torture of cold poison, but also reduce the amount of fire pill.

Qi Tanying couldn't believe the facts she heard, "You mean, Qi Juemin attacked the Lian family for the sake of King Yu?" ”

Yan Li looked at her and nodded slowly.

Qi Tanying seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on a cold day in Sanjiu, and the whole person trembled, "He actually took refuge in King Yu." ”

Her husband is the prince's confidant, and the Qi family is obedient to King Yu, and her mother and younger brother have become the prince's opposing camp. Now the crown prince and King Yu are still brothers, friends and brothers on the surface, so if it is really time to fight to the death, what will her family do?

Seeing his wife's frightened face, Yan Li hurriedly reassured: "Don't be afraid, everything is with me." ”

He assured her, "My mother-in-law and brother Kun are also my family, and I will not put my family in danger." ”

He also told her that the people sent to Wuzhou by the East Palace had already contacted Qi Weimin, and Qi Weimin had no idea of submitting to either side. If the Qi clan remained neutral, it would have no effect on the East Palace.

Only King Yu was affected, after all, Qi Juemin didn't know how much money he had sent to King Yu for so many years.

Qi Tanying remembered Qi Thirteen Niang in the palace, "Qi Juemin used Yan Lang to blackmail Thirteen Niang, will she have fallen to King Yu's side?" ”

Yan Li shook his head, Qi Shisanniang rarely interacted with the harem concubines since she entered the palace, except for going to ask the queen for peace, she hardly left the Wushan Palace. According to the eyeliner report of Wulin Palace, so far, it has not been found that Qi Sanniang has intersected with Yun Guifei, the mother of King Yu.

Now that Qi Juemin is dead, and Yan Lang is in his hands again, if Qi Sanniang is a smart person, he will definitely not favor King Yu.

Qi Tanying was still not at ease.

People's hearts are fickle, Qi Sanniang has been in the palace for a year, what if she has a weak mind about Yan Lang? Or is there someone more worthy of her care than Yan Lang?

Like what... Child.

She is deeply favored by the saints, if she has a child one day, will Yan Lang outside the palace still let her remember?

Qi Tanying expressed her worries, but Yan Li told her not to worry. There is a queen in the palace, and Qi Sanniang has her own queen to supervise her. For the prince's side, Yan Lang was much more important than a low-level concubine.

Yan Lang must not be allowed to fall into the hands of King Yu.

Seeing that Yan Li had his own idea to deal with it, Qi Tanying didn't say anything anymore.

A few days later, Mrs. Qi also received the news of Qi Juemin's death, and she couldn't believe it at first, and was stunned for a while. After reacting, she immediately went to Yan's house, and when such a big thing happened, she didn't care if it was rude to come to the door rashly.

Although Qi Tanying had known it for a long time, she still had to pretend not to know.

"Ah Tan, why did you say he died suddenly?" Mrs. Qi muttered: "Over the years, I don't know how many times I have cursed him, and he has lived well. ”

Unexpectedly, he was killed by the mountain bandits of Limai Mountain, which was really unexpected.

Qi Tanying patted her mother's hand, "Mother, don't say anything like curses, if you let outsiders know, it will cause trouble." ”

Mrs. Qi nodded again and again, her daughter was right, the two of them whispered this, but they must not let outsiders know.

"The clan originally wanted your third cousin to take over the position of patriarch, but he refused, and pushed his nephew Qi Yuwen to the position of patriarch."

Mrs. Qi was a little worried, "Although Qi Yuwen is Qi Juemin's son, he has always been cowardly and timid, and he is not as good as his father as the patriarch." ”

Mrs. Qi didn't know the inside story, so she would say such a thing.

The position of patriarch has always been held by the Changfang lineage, and although Qi Weimin is also a grandson, he is not as orthodox as Qi Yuwen. Yan Li said that he couldn't let King Yu's people know that they were meddling, so let Qi Yuwen succeed him as the patriarch.

It is Qi Weimin who is really in charge of the affairs of the Qi clan.
