Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Xiao Zhanpeng listened to Mrs. Sha's recounting of the past, but they were also shocked by the old lady of the Fang family who was so scheming, and they couldn't speak for a while.

Mrs. Sha continued: "The patriarch said, 'I gave birth to four sons, and your third and fourth uncles died early and left no heirs. Your uncle is a fool, and none of the four sons he gave birth to are angry. Your father is most like me, he has been witty since he was a child, and his martial arts skills are also high. It's just that when he went out to run errands that year, he was plotted by the enemy and was seriously injured, although he fled back to Fang's house, he finally died. But God pity me, he left you two behind, both of you are shrewd and capable, and I like it very much. The next patriarch of the Fang family will inevitably be one of the two of you......

"When the patriarch said this, the fourth uncle said on the side: 'The eldest brother is shrewd and capable, most like the grandfather, of course the patriarch must be the eldest brother. I should faithfully assist the eldest brother and do my best to revive the Fang family!' When the fourth uncle said this, the eldest uncle was also humble, but his expression was complacent, how could he be half humble. The patriarch said, "That being said, I'm afraid that the other people in the other rooms will not be convinced. If all the rooms are subservient to our long room, there will be no one who secretly does things for the Jinyi Guard. ’

"When the patriarch said this, the eldest uncle frowned and said, "Grandpa, my grandson has something to understand, and he has the courage to speak to his grandfather...... 'Before his words fell, the patriarch and the old lady smiled slightly, and said, "You want to ask, why don't I get rid of those traitors in the clan?"

"As soon as the patriarch said this, I was shocked, and I didn't know who the traitor they were talking about. The eldest uncle's face also changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, how can your old man know my thoughts?" The patriarch said: "You two monkey cubs, what do you think, can you escape my eyes?" When you found out those white-eyed wolves who were working for Jinyiwei that day, you asked me to allow you to get rid of them, but I didn't agree, and you two were quite puzzled. It's just that if you think about it, there are a few secret agents of the Jinyi Guard in our clan, as long as we deal with it carefully, it's not a bad thing. ’

"When the patriarch said this, I was quite puzzled, and the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle were also puzzled, and they didn't know what the patriarch and the old lady meant. ”

When Mrs. Sha said this, she said to Li Qiufeng: "Li Gongzi, you will understand the joints in this?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Old lady Fang is indeed very good, for the sake of the Fang clan, she actually made such a risky move. The reason why he didn't get rid of the Jinyiwei secret agent in the clan was to keep this secret agent by his side and pass on the suspicious array of his old cloth to Jinyiwei, so that everything that Jinyiwei saw in the Fang family was fake, and it was all the news that the old lady Fang deliberately let Jinyiwei know. These news were reported to the Fusi of Weibei Town, Jinyi, the capital, and what they saw was the situation of the Fang family being honest and living in seclusion, and the imperial court naturally did not suspect the other family. ”

Mrs. Sha smiled slightly and said, "What Li Gongzi said is good. That's what the patriarch said to the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle that day. When the two of them heard this, they suddenly realized that they admired the scheming of the patriarch and the old lady. But I heard the patriarch and the old lady say: 'The reason why these traitors do things for Jinyiwei is nothing more than for the sake of fame and fortune. This profit is easy to say, but it is just receiving the money of the brocade guards and coveting gold, silver and jewelry. That name is the most difficult to do. The two traitors who want to win the position are dissatisfied with our Changfang and want to usurp the position of the patriarch. Fortunately, we detected it early, and the treacherous plot of these two people has been clearly investigated, and we have been wary of them for a long time, and we are careful in everything, so there will be no big mess. It's just that this also reminds our grandfather and grandson that there are a lot of careerists like this in the clan. I observed carefully, and at present, Fang Yu's martial arts and wisdom in the sixth room are very good, and he can be said to be an outstanding figure in the clan. His two sons are also very outstanding in the fourth generation, and the eldest girl is married to the Ma family in the capital. The second girl is a beautiful embryo, if she remarries to a good family, if this family plots to become the patriarch in the future, our grandchildren are afraid that it will be dangerous......

"The more I heard the patriarch and the old lady talk, the more insidious it became, and I was so scared in my heart that I vaguely felt that the patriarch and the old lady had bad intentions. Just when he was afraid, he heard the patriarch and the old lady continue: "The errand in Anlu Prefecture is a great opportunity for us to eliminate traitors and hidden dangers in the clan. This time, we will send Fang Yu to take twenty-nine clansmen to Anlu Prefecture to do business, and include the two of those traitors who conspired to usurp the patriarch's position in the list of these twenty-nine people. You two take the dead and lurk beside them, so that they may not be noticed. After arriving in Anlu Prefecture, if they clash with the masters of the Xingxian Royal Mansion while they are doing business, and the opponent hunts them down, you can wait and see. If they are lucky enough to defeat the masters of Xingxian Palace, you will take the opportunity to sneak attack and kill Fang Yu and the others. When the time comes, I will naturally announce in the clan that these thirty people are doing things for the family, and unfortunately they are killed, and their families will not be able to say anything. ’”

When Murong Danyan heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "This old ...... Old man, it's too vicious!"

Mrs. Sha knew that Murong Danyan originally wanted to scold someone like "old bastard", but for the sake of her own face, she finally changed it to "old man". She said to Murong Danyan: "Sister, you were born in a martial arts family, and your uncle is a first-class chivalrous man in the world, so naturally you don't know that people's hearts are sinister. Since our ancestors were trapped, our Fang family was worried and scared day and night, and everyone only thought about how to survive, so they thought of some conspiracies. Over time, many vicious people have been born. Alas!"

Mrs. Sha sighed, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I heard that the patriarch and the old lady had such a poisonous plan, and I was shocked, angry, hated and afraid. Later, they discussed something, but I didn't listen to it again, and only thought about how to save my father. After my mother's death, although my father was not very kind to my sister and me, he did not treat girls as slaves like the other houses. And no matter what, he is my father, and I can't let him die under the machinations of the patriarch!

"When I came to my senses, I realized that the ancestral hall was empty, and the patriarch and the other three had left at some point. I knew that the patriarch and the old lady were clever, and the two uncles were not good at getting along, so they didn't dare to move until most of the hour passed, and there was really no one around, so they secretly jumped off the roof of the ancestral hall. When night came, I searched for some uninhabited paths, bypassed the people's house, and quietly returned home.

"I tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep. I heard the sound of his coughing coming from my father's room outside, and my heart was very desolate, and finally I gritted my teeth and made up my mind, so I quietly walked outside my father's room and knocked on the door gently. When Daddy opened the door and saw that it was me, he was startled and said, 'Why don't you rest at such a late hour?'

"I said to Daddy, 'Daddy, there's something I want to tell you. He looked puzzled, but didn't ask much, but pointed to the wooden chair in the hall and motioned to speak there. I knew that my father was a decent man, and that although I was his daughter, I was too old to come into his room. My father and I sat on wooden chairs in the hall, and he smiled slightly, "I have to talk about it secretly at night." ’

"I went to the door, pushed it open a gap, looked out carefully, closed it tightly, and peeked out through the two windows. It wasn't until he was sure that there was no one outside the house that he walked back to his father and sat down, and told him what he had seen and heard during the day. When he first heard that I had jumped to the roof of the ancestral hall, and said a few words of 'nonsense', and when I told him what the patriarch, the eldest uncle, the fourth uncle, and the person from Dongchang had said, my father turned pale with fright and stared at me with a look of surprise. When he heard that the patriarch wanted to take advantage of the matter of An Luzhou to get rid of him, his father trembled, and said miserably: "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that my family is so ruthless!

Daddy was furious, and his voice couldn't help but be louder. I hurriedly signaled my father not to speak loudly, but my two brothers, who were sleeping in the other room, woke up and thought something was wrong, and rushed out without even getting dressed. Seeing me and my father sitting in the hall, my father's face was even more miserable, and the two of them were also shocked, grabbed my father's side, and asked my father what happened.

"Daddy looked at my two brothers, then at me, and suddenly burst into tears. My two brothers and I had never seen him look like this, and when my mother died, my father was sad, but he didn't shed tears. It's because my two brothers and I are at a loss and don't know what to do.

"After a while, Daddy wiped his tears and said to the three of us brothers and sisters, 'We can't stay in the Fang family anymore, we have to make plans in advance. Let's get out of here as soon as possible, find the big girl in the capital, and then do some care. ’”
