Return to the Tang Dynasty to be a villain

Chapter 5: Remove Dalang from the Family Tree
Qin Yi said nothing along the way, and slowly walked through the Qin Mansion according to his memory.

Qin Zhong followed behind him, nagging Qin Yi with instructions.

He warned him that even if he became Lai Junchen's disciple, he must not do anything that would harm the world.

Qin Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Qin Zhong's nagging. He walked while thinking over and over again about his decision today.

Is it a hasty decision to take Lai Junchen as your teacher? Yes, it was hasty, it was really too hasty!
After all, Qin Yi knew that Lai Junchen would soon be off the stage of history.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Once Lai Junchen falls, who will care how many days you, Qin Yi, were his student?

After the leader of a faction falls, the hostile forces will definitely follow the principle of "better to kill the innocent than to let the innocent go" when they are settling accounts with the other party, and will eradicate the enemy completely.

But could Qin Yi not make this decision?

The answer is no. After all, he has not passed the imperial examination. If he wants to enter the imperial system, this is the only way for him.

He had thought about becoming an official with the help of his ancestors, but the officials he received were all minor officials and could not participate in the specific government affairs at all.

Although Qin Yi lived two lives, he only lived for a total of more than 20 years. In a desperate situation, can you expect him to come up with any foolproof plan?
However, Qin Yi did this not out of desperation and without any certainty.

Today is the tenth day of March, and he is counting the days silently in his mind.

The reason why Qin Yi was so reckless and wanted to infiltrate the Jishiyuan at this time was because he had to do so.

Qin Yi remembered that during this period of time, there was a person who was very important to him and was imprisoned in the prison of the Jishiyuan.

Qin Yi just wanted to meet him smoothly in the Yishiyuan and say something to him?

Then, Qin Yi believed that this person would have a strong interest in him and might be able to provide him with a lot of help in the future.

As long as he could get this person's approval, Qin Yi believed that his future path would be much easier.

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Qin Yi soon arrived at the main hall of his house.

Qin Yi was startled when he looked up suddenly, and then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although he continued to use Lai Junchen's power to bully others, he drove Wu Chonglie out of the mansion.

But after all, I have caused a big disaster today, and this storm at home is probably inevitable.

It was already getting dark at this moment. According to the past, it should be time for dinner.

However, the lights inside and outside the main hall were bright, and all the servants in the Qin Mansion were standing outside the hall.

Seeing Qin Yi and Qin Zhong coming over, the crowd immediately parted to make way for him.

Qin Yi walked to the door of the main hall and looked up, and saw two horseshoe chairs placed in the middle of the hall.

Qin Huaidao was sitting on the left at this moment, and on his right sat a graceful lady in her early thirties.

There was also a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, with a handsome face and a slightly childish look, standing behind the woman.

Qin Yi learned from the memory of the original owner of this body that the woman was named Wang Yan and was Qin Huaidao's concubine.

The young man standing behind her was her half-brother Qin Jingqian.

Two maids, one wearing a red and the other a green skirt, were kneeling in front of the three people with their backs to them.

They were Hongwei and Luqi, Qin Yi's personal maids.

On both sides of the main hall stood several stout middle-aged women, wearing linen short coats, and one of them was holding a thorn branch in her hand.

Hongwei and Luqi must have just been beaten.

There were several bloodstains on their shoulders and backs. They were lying on the ground, their bodies shaking constantly.

From the memories of the original owner of this body, Qin Yi recognized at a glance that the man in front of him was his father, Qin Huaidao.

As a concubine, why was Wang Yan able to sit there as the mistress?
Because Qin Huaidao's wife, Qin Yi's biological mother had died long ago.

Qin Yi's biological mother was Pei Wanyi, the daughter of former Prime Minister Pei Yan.

When Xu Jingye started the rebellion in Yangzhou, Pei Yan's nephew Xue Zhongzhang also participated.

Lai Junchen then submitted a memorial to Wu Zetian, falsely accusing Pei Yan of being the rebels' accomplice in the court, and was therefore killed by Wu Zetian.

After Pei Yan's death, Pei Wanyi was heartbroken and eventually died of depression.

Qin Yi was only three years old at that time. The reason why Qin Huaidao doted on his son was because he felt sorry for him because he had no mother since childhood.

Without his mother's guidance and with Qin Huaidao's indulgence, Qin Yi gradually developed an arrogant, domineering and willful character.

When Qin Yi was twelve or thirteen years old, he got mixed up with a group of street rogues. Under their instigation, Qin Yi spent his days idle and became a playboy in Chang'an.

During this period, Qin Huaidao had also thought about disciplining Qin Yi.

But every time I can see the shadow of his deceased wife between his eyebrows.

Qin Huaidao couldn't bear to be too harsh on Qin Yi in the end.

As a result, Qin Yi became even more reckless and acted recklessly, which led to the disaster today.

Qin Yi saluted Qin Huaidao with his arms crossed, but Qin Huaidao was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him. He sat there with a cold expression.

Qin Yi knew that he had gone too far today, so it was inevitable that Qin Huaidao was angry with him.

Helplessly, Qin Yi turned around and saluted Wang Yan again.

After all, Wang Yan was just Qin Huaidao's concubine. She could act like a mistress in front of the servants in Qin's mansion, but she didn't dare to do so in front of Qin Yi.

Seeing Qin Yi saluting, Wang Yan immediately stood up and returned the salute.

"Young Master, please don't embarrass me. You are your legitimate son, and I cannot accept your courtesy."

"But young master," Wang Yan was polite to Qin Yi, with a hint of resentment on her face.

"The trouble you've caused today is truly enormous. Everyone in Chang'an knows that Prince Liang is incredibly powerful, and his family members are incredibly reckless."

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if it were just a hair's breadth today, our Qin family would be finished!"

After hearing what Wang Yan said, Qin Yi felt a little confused.

Wang Yan has been married to the Qin family for thirteen or fourteen years, but she has never dared to regard herself as her elder.

Every time he saw Qin Yi, he was cautious, let alone scolding him.

But today Wang Yan actually said such a thing. Qin Yi looked at the woman in some surprise.

But Wang Yan seemed to have given up. She paused for a moment, then continued chattering, "Young Master, please don't be unhappy with what I say."

"Your father may be a county lord, but compared to King Liang, he is nothing."

"Let alone our Licheng County Mansion, even if we tied our eldest and third masters together, they would still be nothing more than chickens and dogs in the eyes of King Liang."

"Besides, I'm still serving under Prince Liang, so whether I'm willing to help you, father, is still a matter of debate."

"As for the Third Master, haha"

Having said this, Wang Yan sneered and stopped talking.

She turned her head and looked at Qin Huaidao, who was sitting next to her and looked as pale as death, with resentful eyes.

The eldest and third masters of the Qin family that she mentioned were Qin Qiong's eldest son Qin Youdao and third son Qin Shandao respectively.

Qin Youdao inherited the title of Duke of Qin Qiongji and now serves as the General of the Right Guard in the army.

Although he holds the rank of Duke of the Second Rank, his actual rank is only Fifth Rank, which is lower than Qin Huaidao's.

And what Wang Yan said was correct. The general of the Right Guard was King Wu Sansi of Liang. If he wanted to control Qin Youdao, he would basically have it easy.

As for Qin Shandao's situation, it was even more embarrassing. He was just the left clerk of the Eastern Palace.

Now that the Crown Prince is under house arrest in the Eastern Palace by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, the Third Master's post as Zuo Qing Dao Shuai is just a job that is only for his retirement.

Wang Yan's sarcastic words hit Qin Yi's heart like a torrential rain.

Qin Yi looked at Wang Yan with some curiosity, wanting to know what this woman wanted to say.

A look of determination appeared on Wang Yan's face. She turned around and knelt straight in front of Qin Huaidao.

"Second Master," Wang Yan shouted at this moment.

Her pretty face was tearful, and her sad expression made me feel pity for her.

"I beg you, Master, for the sake of the hundreds of people in your household, and for the lives and wealth of the four or five hundred people in the old Duke's lineage, to remove Dalang from the family tree!"
