A knife in love

Chapter 288

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Xiao Zhanpeng listened to Mrs. Sha's recounting of the past, but they were also overwhelmed by the Fang family's scheming, and were speechless for a while.

Mrs. Sha went on to say: "The old patriarch said: 'I gave birth to four sons, and your third uncle and fourth uncle died early, leaving no heirs. Your uncle is a fool, and none of the four sons he gave birth to live up to expectations. .Your father is most like me. He was very witty and martial arts since he was a child. It's just that when he went out to do errands that year, he was plotted by the enemy and was seriously injured. Both of you are smart and capable, I really like it. The next patriarch of the Fang family will definitely be one of you...'

"When the old patriarch said this, the fourth uncle said: "The eldest brother is smart and capable, and he is the most like a grandfather. Of course, the elder brother must be the patriarch. I will loyally assist the elder brother and do my best to revive the Fang family!" The fourth uncle said so , but the uncle also said a few words of humility, but his expression was full of ambition, and he didn't have the slightest sense of humility. The patriarch and the old man said: "Having said that, I'm afraid that the people in the other houses will not be convinced. If the houses If you all submit to our long room, no one will secretly work for Jin Yiwei."

"When the old patriarch said this, the uncle frowned and said: "Grandpa, my grandson is puzzled by something, so I dare to speak to my grandpa..." Before he finished speaking, the old patriarch smiled slightly and said: "You I want to ask, why don't I get rid of those traitors in the clan?"

"When the old patriarch said this, I was shocked. I didn't know who the traitor they were talking about was. The uncle also changed his face and said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, how can you know what's on my mind?" said the old patriarch : "You two monkeys, what are you thinking, and you can escape my eyes? When you found out those white-eyed wolves working for Jin Yiwei, you asked me to allow you to get rid of them. I didn't agree. You two are quite puzzled. Just think about it, there are a few spies from Jinyiwei in our clan, as long as we deal with them carefully, it is not a bad thing.'

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

Mrs. Sha said this, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Mr. Li, you will understand the joints in it, right?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Old Master Fang is indeed amazing. To protect Fang's clan, he even made such a dangerous move. The reason why he didn't get rid of the secret agent of Jinyiwei among the clan is to keep this spy by his side and keep his secret agent. Bu's suspicion was passed on to Jin Yiwei, so that what Jin Yiwei saw about Fang's family was all fake, and it was all the news that Mrs. Fang deliberately let Jin Yiwei know. These news were reported to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, Beijing, and what they saw was Fang Since the family is honest and living in seclusion, the imperial court will naturally not have doubts about the other family."

Mrs. Sha smiled slightly, and said: "Young Master Li is right. The elder patriarch said the same to the uncle and the fourth uncle that day. The two of them suddenly realized what they heard, and admired the old master's scheming. But the old patriarch said:' The reason why these traitors work for Jinyiwei is nothing more than fame and profit. This profit is easy to say, but it is just taking money from Jinyiwei and coveting gold, silver and jewelry. The name is the most difficult. Those who want to win fame The two traitors were dissatisfied with our eldest house, and wanted to usurp the position of the patriarch. Fortunately, we were aware of their conspiracy early, and we had already been on guard against them, and we were careful in everything. What kind of trouble will happen. It's just a wake-up call for the three of us, grandpa and grandson. I'm afraid there are quite a few ambitious people like this in the clan. I observed carefully, Fang Yu's martial arts and wisdom in Liufang are all He is very remarkable, and he can be said to be an outstanding person in the clan. His two sons are also outstanding in the fourth generation. The eldest girl is married to the Ma family in the capital. Good family, if this family seeks the position of patriarch in the future, our grandparents will be in danger...'

"I heard the elder patriarch say more and more insidiously. I was terribly afraid. I vaguely felt that the old patriarch had malicious intentions. When I was afraid, I heard the old patriarch continue to say: "The errand of Anlu Prefecture is for us to eliminate traitors from the clan." This time, we will send Fang Yu to take 29 clansmen to Anlu Prefecture to handle affairs, and include the two traitors who conspired to usurp the patriarch's seat in the list of 29 people. You two People bring the dead to lurk beside them, so they cannot be noticed. After arriving in Anlu Prefecture, if they conflict with the masters of the Xingxian Palace while doing business, and when the opponent hunts them down, you can just wait and see. They were lucky enough to defeat the masters of the Xingxian Palace, so you took the opportunity to sneak attack and kill Fang Yu and others. At that time, I will naturally announce in the clan that these 30 people were working for the family, and unfortunately died, and their families will not be able to tell. what to say.'"

When Murong Danyan heard this, he couldn't help opening his mouth and said: "This old... old man is too vicious!"

Mrs. Sha knew that Murong Danyan originally wanted to curse someone like "old bastard", but she changed it to "old man" because of her own face.She said to Murong Danyan: "Sister, you were born in a family of martial arts, and your uncle is a first-class knight in the world. Naturally, you don't know that people's hearts are dangerous. Since our ancestors were trapped, our Fang family has been worried day and night. Everyone only thinks about it. How to survive, I thought about some conspiracies and tricks. After a long time, many vicious people were born. Alas!"

Mrs. Sha let out a long sigh, was silent for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the patriarch and old man had come up with such a vicious scheme, and I was shocked, angry, hated and afraid. They discussed some other things later, but I didn't listen again. I only thought about how to save my father. After my mother passed away, although my father was not very kind to my sister and me, he was not regarded as a slave like other houses treat girls. And no matter what, he is My daddy, I can't let him die under the machinations of the old patriarch!

"When I woke up, I realized that there was no one in the ancestral hall. The patriarch and the old man had already left at some point. I knew that the patriarch and the old man were quick-witted, and the two uncles were not easy to get along with each other, so I kept going. I didn't dare to move, until more than half an hour later, when there was really no one around, I secretly jumped off the roof of the ancestral hall. At night, I tried to find some unmanned paths, bypassed the clan's house, and quietly returned home.

"That night I tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep. I heard Daddy's cough coming from his room outside, and my heart was so desolate. Finally, I gritted my teeth, made up my mind, and quietly walked outside Daddy's room, quietly He knocked lightly on the door. Dad opened the door, and when he saw me, he was startled, and said, "It's so late, why don't you rest?"

"I said to my dad: 'Daddy, I have something to tell you.' He looked puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just pointed to the wooden chair in the living room and motioned to talk there. I know Dad I am upright, although I am his daughter, but I am too old to enter his room at will. My father and I sat on the wooden chair in the living room, and he smiled slightly: "What is it? Say it secretly at night.'

"I went to the door first, pushed the door open a gap, carefully looked outside the house, then closed the door tightly, and peeked out from the two windows. I didn't go back until I confirmed that there was no one outside the house. I sat down next to my father and told him what I had seen and heard during the day. At the beginning, he heard that I jumped on the roof of the ancestral hall and said a few words of "nonsense". When I told him what the man from Dongchang said, my father turned pale with fright and stared at me in surprise. When he heard that the old patriarch wanted to get rid of him by taking advantage of the incident in Anlu Prefecture, my father trembled. He said in a miserable voice, "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, my family is so cruel! Heaven wants to destroy Fang's family, heaven wants to destroy Fang's family!"

"Dad was so angry that his voice was a little louder. I hurriedly signaled to Daddy not to speak loudly, but the two elder brothers who were sleeping in the other room had already woken up, thinking that something happened, and they didn't even put on their clothes properly. I rushed out. Seeing my father and I sitting in the living room, my father's face was even more miserable. The two of them were also shocked, rushed to my father's side, and asked what happened to my father.

"Daddy looked at the two older brothers, then at me, and burst into tears. My two older brothers and I have never seen him like this. When my mother passed away, even though my father was sad, he did not shed tears. Yes So my two brothers and I were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"After a while, Dad wiped away his tears and said to the three of us, the three of us, "The Fang family, we can't stay any longer, we have to make a plan early. Let's leave here as soon as possible, go to the capital to find the big girl, and then worry about it." "
