Chapter 123: Poisoning the Past

The Zhong family and his wife did not stay for a long time, both of them asked friends to go on an adventure in a foreign land, and today they deliberately delayed for one more day, in order to see the side of the clothes, and by the way, taste the sweet cake that their daughter missed.

The two Yuanying real people and the two Zhuji girls naturally had nothing to talk about, and told them to choose the sect as they pleased, try their best to run for the election, and practice hard after entering the sect, and both disappeared into the courtyard after speaking.

As soon as they left, Zhong Yuncai was reluctant to put down the soup bowl and talked to Fuyi about the reason why he was in a hurry to come back last time.

"Our little cousin, who had just been tested for the Five Spirit Roots, died violently before she could choose the exercises to practice, and after examination, she actually ate a highly poisonous pastry, which happened to be a kind of homemade poison that my grandmother was most proud of. ”

Zhong Yun's maternal grandmother was born in a small wild domain infested with snakes and insects, and the people there were good at using poison to raise Gu, insects and beasts. Later, she married Zhong Yun's grandfather, and considering the reputation of the Xu family, she took the initiative to stop publicizing the matter, and only closed the door to study it herself.

Xu Chengyun was influenced by her and more or less knew some poison Gu techniques, but she was never interested, unwilling to study in depth, and unwilling to use poison as a means of killing. The Zhong family knew this, so after checking out the type of poison, no one in the clan suspected her at all.

It's just that the idea is the idea, and on the surface, we still have to make a gesture of strictly investigating Zhong Huaiyi's family, otherwise the branch clansmen who have lost their beloved daughter may think that they are covering each other.

Because the best descendant of the Zhong family's generation of Linggen is Zhong Yun, if he wants to forcibly pull it, it can be said that Xu Chengyun is worried that his little cousin will affect his daughter's resources, status, and so on.

"The cousins and aunts were so grief-stricken that they didn't want to live anymore, they just said that they wanted to find out the murderer and blow himself up. The whole clan unanimously decided to investigate the matter strictly, and although I had traveled abroad, I was not completely unsuspected, so I quickly found someone to bring me back. ”

Fu Yi sighed with emotion in his heart, he actually could do it to a five-year-old child, it seems that the Zhong family's stirring up is really ruthless, maybe it is the mastermind behind the bite of Zhong Yun, and it may still be the person who caused Xu Chengyun's realm to fall.

"Which elder does your family usually have a grudge with?"

"My father and mother have thought about this, and it seems that no one has any hatred. My father is the third of the elders of this generation, and if I have to say that I don't agree, it is the five elders in the same line. But they are only arguing for trivial matters, so as not to make it like this. ”

The Zhong family has a total of ninety Yuanying Zhenren, of which forty are in the major sects, and they rarely contact the family, and among the remaining fifty people, only the top twenty-seven are regarded as elders.

From the chief elder to the twenty-seventh elder, all of them are in the late stage of the Yuan Infant and the Yuan Infant is complete, and the industries and connections under the ownership are intricate, and there is really no way to investigate them one by one.

The key point is that the Zhong family itself can't admit that this is an elder infighting, if it is known to the clansmen, or accidentally spread it, it will simply lose its reputation and majesty.

"I didn't mention anything about being calculated since I came back, and I answered whatever anyone asked, and my father and my mother were the same. There are also branches under our family and stewards in the industry, all of which are the targets of strict investigation anyway. ”

Zhong Yun said that she was a little angry, but she couldn't sit still if anyone was splashed with such a basin of dirty water, and her father and mother were both hot-tempered, and they opened the formation enchantment and smashed a lot of rocks in the courtyard.

"Is it only your branch that has been checked, or have all the branches been checked? What is the result?" Fu Yi had a guess in his heart, this black cauldron would most likely fall on the heads of the branch clansmen under Zhong Yun's family, maybe it was still an inconspicuous little monk who was refining qi and building a foundation.

"It's all checked, but my family is the most strict. Well, alas, it's just a hasty thing anyway, and no one believes in the result. Later, when I checked, someone found that the manager of a shop managed by my mother blew himself up and fell, and in the storage bag left on the side was a statement jade slip and half a bottle of poison. ”

The steward is an inconspicuous branch of the Zhong family, he is a lot older, and his realm is still refining qi to perfection, and there is no sign of advancement.

He left a confession in the jade slip, saying that the unlucky little cousin's father and mother had an old grudge with him, and he saw that his daughter had measured the five spirit roots, but his granddaughter was only a double spirit root, so he went to the Xu family's land to buy poison and added pastries to trick the child into eating it.

"What the hell is that? Fu Yi rolled his eyes several times, and secretly said in his heart that even if it was a soul cultivator, people would not believe it. The ending is compounded by her guess, but the reason is that it is perfunctory to the point that people are speechless.

"The cousins and aunts who have no daughters, they themselves said that the two sides did have quarrels, and the two families usually had a lot of disputes, for resources and status and the like......" Zhong Yun sighed and said helplessly, "They all admit this result, and the clan will naturally not take the initiative to continue to investigate." ”

After this incident, all the properties under Xu Chengyun's name were purged, a group of people were replaced, and several shops related to the steward were all taken back, which was regarded as a punishment for her lax governance.

On the surface, the decision was very fair, and Xu Chengyun's loss didn't seem to be big, but everyone knew that such a big thing had happened, and the monks outside were talking about it, and even the entire Xu family fell into an embarrassing situation.

"The news of my grandmother's drug abuse came out again, and it made the Xu family's explanation incorrect, and it was not right if she didn't explain. There are also many clansmen and outsiders who don't know the truth, and they all think that our family style is not very upright, otherwise there would not be such ruthless people below. Some even said......"

Zhong Yun took a deep breath and slowed down for a while before continuing: "Some people still think that this matter was instructed by my father and mother, or at least hinted at. So they don't want to stay in the clan now, and I'm the same, I just want to join the sect early, so that people don't think we're grabbing resources all the time. ”

Monk Lei Linggen can bring great benefits to the family, so the family is also willing to invest in Zhong Yun in the early stage, which is originally a matter of mutual benefit and reciprocity to grow the family, but there are always people who only stare at the resources in front of them, and do not want to think about how Zhong Yun will return to the family in the future.

Of course, it is also possible that they didn't want to see Zhong Yun's family gain the upper hand, but this is even more despised. As a fellow clan, if you have to put the interests of your own branch above the whole clan, you will only plant the root cause of chaos and disturb the peace of the family.

"Now that you've decided to join the sect, there won't be any more people in the sect, right?"

"It's been going to stop lately anyway. But who knows? Now our family doesn't even have a ...... of suspicion."

Fuyi raised her eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Why don't you start with Zhong Wan?" ”

Zhong Yun was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and shook his head, and said with a smile: "She is the one who has gone with everyone, and the chief elder can still talk to her for a few words." If you want to say that you are the closest, it should be the Seven Elders who are the most playful, but the Seven Elders of our family are my father's younger brother, and they are like old naughty children, so it is impossible for them to make trouble at all. ”

Hearing this, Fu Yi had to give up guessing, shook his head and didn't bother to analyze again. "Forget it, forget it, the general election is coming, let's consider the affairs of the sect. ”
