Chapter 366 Causes and consequences, the real culprit behind the scenes
"You already have the answer in your mind, right? Who is it?"
Qin Yi shook his head and said nothing, but looked at Changping Hou quietly.
Changping Hou showed a wry smile, Qin Yi didn't believe him.
Worried about making up stories based on who he told me.
"Actually, this matter is all my fault."
Qin Yi glanced at the Marquis of Changping in surprise, but his eyes were still calm, and he looked at the Marquis of Changping quietly, waiting for him to continue.
"If I hadn't revealed my intention to inherit the position of patriarch of the clan before A Xu grew up, nothing would have happened to him."
Changping Hou sighed, and the sigh echoed for a long time in this secret room. In this background sound, Changping Hou continued with a lonely look on his face: "Are you wondering why all our major families have to set up three to
Five young masters. In fact, the purpose is to allow the heir to get effective training before inheriting the clan leader. We are worried that only one of them will be easily targeted by other families, especially those who are members of the royal family, and he will... be destroyed in advance. "
"Actually, the effect of this system is not great anymore. Whether it is three young masters or five young masters, as long as it is a young master, other aristocratic families will spare no effort to destroy it, either overtly or covertly. Of course, as time goes by,
With the passage of time, more and more experience, more and more rules, and more and more defensive methods are available, most of which can ensure that a young master can grow up smoothly and will not be ruined."
"Of course, such benefits are also obvious. As long as a young master who has received sufficient experience succeeds to the throne, he must be a good patriarch, or at least a conservative king."
"In the wave of children born before A Xu, I canonized four young masters. Originally, it was difficult for Jindan warriors to have heirs. For their birth, I took an elixir and paid the price of being unable to improve my realm for ten years before I gave birth to them.
I had seven children. I originally only planned to have so many children. I planned to choose a son from among them. I trained each child carefully. They did not live up to my high expectations at the beginning. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Wait.
They grew up and began to enter the court for training. They finally did not escape the calculations of the aristocratic family, especially the royal family. The four of them had been destroyed. In desperation, I took the elixir again and could not improve my realm for twenty years.
At the price, five children including A Xu and Xi'er were born again."
When Qin Yi heard this, he understood why. When he got the information, he felt very strange. Why did the children of the Changping Marquis Mansion seem to be divided into two time periods? The age gap between the first seven and the last five was so large. It turned out that there were
Such a secret.
"The first four young masters were destroyed?" Qin Yi asked in confusion.
Qin Yi took a look at his appraisal report, and the information collected in it clearly showed that the first four young masters were still alive and well.
Especially the Sixth Young Master, Qin Yu, and Qin Yi have met face to face.
"The destruction I am talking about is not just death. In fact, most of them are those whose minds have been affected by external influences and have lost their position, magnanimity and popularity as a prince."
"Especially their generation, they have known that they will face the threat of spiritual catastrophe since they were young. Although they were very precocious and worked hard when they were young, they were eventually abducted by the royal family and became staunch royalists. They only have the royal family in their hearts and no family.
If such a person becomes a clan leader, wouldn’t we, the Qin Clan of Wei River, become a vassal of the Feng Clan of Jingshui River?”
Qin Yi said thoughtfully: "So, because the teacher did not become a royalist and did what the royal family wanted, he was targeted and even killed?"
Changping Hou sighed and said: "This should be the main reason."
"Because among the next five children, A Xu is the only male, so he is the only one who is focused on training. I have trained him as an heir since he was a child. A Xu has lived up to my expectations and has grown very long.
During the training, I was not plotted by other aristocratic families, but due to some reasons, I could not break through the Golden Core Realm for a long time, otherwise I would not..."
Qin Yi frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"
"Ambition, A Xu's ambition, is too big. When I knew it at the time, it was already too late. Alas, even if I knew it in advance, I couldn't do anything about it. Although ambition has a certain relationship with the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, it is essentially
It is still determined by wisdom and spirituality. Even if some people are born in a poor family, their ambitions are still grand and worldly. Some people, even if they are born in a noble family and are sons of aristocratic families, their ambitions are inevitably selfish and cowardly, and they are just a lost dog."
Qin Yi shook his head and asked in confusion: "What's going on at Liyang College? I heard that the students trained there have all grown up and have basically the same ambitions."
Mentioning this, a trace of jealousy, a trace of haze and a trace of happiness flashed in Marquis Changping's eyes.
"Because, that is the talent of Prince Zhang Huai, his innate wisdom. He has the ability to influence the minds of others subtly. It has a particularly great influence on children with unsound minds. Those who are specially selected from the common people
Children with good bones have become the firm supporters of Prince Zhang Huai. Even if he died, he has become the representative of his will. The influence of his contemporaries on the young masters of the aristocratic families is also very great, like ours in Weishui
The first four sons of the Qin family became staunch imperialists because of the influence of Prince Zhanghuai."
In the end, even the Marquis of Changping couldn't help but sigh: "He is a born king. Unfortunately, his life is not hard enough. He was plotted against him. He has not been seen alive or dead. It has been twenty years. His
The time has passed."
Qin Yi glanced at the Marquis of Changping strangely. Feng Yu had returned. Unexpectedly, the head of the family, who was as powerful as the Qin family in Weishui, did not get the news.
It seems that Feng Yu really has two skills.
Changpinghou's words also solved Qin Yi's confusion.
He felt strange at the time that no matter how bad the Dragon Palace was, it would not allow him, an outsider, to become the palace master. It turned out that in addition to strength, there were also reasons for this.
By the way, having been together for such a long time, has he been affected at all?
Qin Yi thought for a while and shook his head. He was protected by the game panel and was not affected.
Moreover, Divine Doctor Hua's maid Shaoyao has superior wisdom roots and can get rid of Feng Yu's influence. Divine Doctor Hua is also able to get rid of Feng Yu's influence when she is old. This shows that Feng Yu's talent is not like other people's.
I thought it was so strong.
However, this is a place that can be exploited.
Qin Yi thought of something and looked forward to the next conversation with Feng Yu even more.
"Fortunately, Prince Zhanghuai is gone, otherwise..." Changping Hou continued with a happy face: "Axu chose the most dangerous inspector during his training for his ambition. I was a little lucky at the time.
I agreed. Unexpectedly, I still underestimated the Jingshui Feng family’s downline. They actually made a plan to kill A Xu. If I hadn’t arrived in time and used the immortality pill left by Master Dan Sheng, I saved A Xu.
Xu, it’s just..."
When Qin Yi heard about the "Eternal Life Pill", he immediately thought of Mr. Huang's guess when he was a child.
Huang Lao guessed that the Weishui Qin family had an "immortality pill" that could "live the dead and give birth to bones" to save the young master.
But no one expected that Changping Hou would value the young master so much. In fact, he had used it when the young master was in trouble. It was because of this that the young master came back from the hell gate and saved his life.
only……
"It's a pity that A Xu's injury was too serious. It damaged his foundation. The efficacy of the Immortal Pill focuses on injecting vitality and treating injuries on the physical body, acupoints, meridians, spiritual bones and other injuries, but it can't do anything."
Qin Yi understood in his heart.
It seems that this immortality pill is not as powerful as everyone imagined.
It can only heal injuries in the dimension represented by the physical body. Once it exceeds this dimension, it will not work.
"Since you know that Luo Jing is in danger, especially the young master, why did you evacuate Mr. Huang and not send anyone to protect the teacher?" Qin Yi suddenly spoke up and asked sharply.
It turns out that the root of Qin Yi's estrangement from his family is here.
He was complaining, complaining that the family did not protect his teacher well. Six years ago, Qin Xu was seriously injured and had to wait for death. Then Qin Xu had an accident at the villa, but the villa watched Qin Xu die indifferently.
Qin Yi's sense of belonging to the family was originally tied to Qin Xu, and Qin Xu's incident probably made Qin Yi's rare good impression of the family disappear.
On the contrary, there may be more hatred.
Alas, those people in the villa.
Changping Hou sighed and said: "How could I not send someone to protect him? I just deliberately removed Mr. Huang who was protecting him in order to let him gain experience. Secretly, there are still people led by the Golden Core Realm.
The two teams were secretly protecting him, but due to calculated calculations and the royal family taking action, they couldn't even delay the attack and died in battle before A Xu's accident happened."
"You said this was a trap set up by the royal family. Who set it up?" Qin Yi asked coldly with a stern look in his eyes.
"As soon as A Xu's accident happened, I immediately led people to rush over. I finally arrived before A Xu died and saved A Xu's life. Then I immediately launched an investigation. The person who died there was just a person of collateral origin, nothing.
A powerful prince, how dare someone like him plot against the son of a noble family? I knew at the time that this matter was not simple. Later, I launched all the intelligence networks and it took three months to finally let me know the cause and effect of this matter."
Changping Hou suddenly asked: "Is your answer Feng Lang?"
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, but still didn't speak.
However, the subtle change in his expression gave the Marquis of Changping the answer.
Changping Hou said happily: "Qin Yi, you are really smart. With such a lack of information, you quickly identified the murderer behind the scenes."
"Is it really him?!" Qin Yi had only guessed before.
Although I am 70% to 80% certain, it is just inference after all and there is no empirical evidence.
Changping Hou gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, except for Feng Lang, the current prince, whoever dares to plot to kill a noble son, I should have thought of him immediately."
If he had immediately thought that Feng Lang had set up a trap, it is estimated that given the furious state of Changping Hou at that time, he might have directly attacked the prince.
Unfortunately, when he thought about it, Changping Hou's anger had calmed down a lot, and Qin Xu was not dead. Therefore, even if Changping Hou later found out that the murderer behind the scenes was the current prince Feng Lang, he did not do anything to him.
As long as Qin Xu is still alive, the Marquis of Changping will have no choice but to endure it.
"Why did Feng Lang do this?" Although Qin Yi had some guesses, he still asked, eager to get support from other aspects.
Changping Hou smiled contemptuously and said: "With Prince Zhanghuai as a jewel in front of him, Feng Lang is not easy to be a prince. In order to get the emperor's approval, Feng Lang did a lot of things that the emperor wanted to do but could not do before he became the prince.
After becoming the crown prince, the emperor simply handed over all matters in this area."
When Qin Yi heard this, his pupils shrank.
It turned out that he also missed the real mastermind behind the scenes.
A real murderer hidden behind Feng Lang.
Qin Yi has another enemy in his heart.
"Just like the demon thing, Feng Lang was responsible for it. Previously, Feng Lang was responsible for the cultivation problems of the poor disciples in the royal family. Feng Lang was also responsible for suppressing the aristocratic family and destroying the son of the aristocratic family.
Qin Yi, now you understand why Feng Lang took action, right?"
How do people with weak bones practice cultivation?
The best way is to modify the magic method.
The girl who disappeared in Luo Jing at that time was probably because of this incident.
The teacher clung to this matter and offended Feng Lang, so he naturally wanted to take action.
What's more, he still has the responsibility of destroying the son of a noble family.
Feng Lang did not have the "charm" of Prince Zhang Huai, who could turn enemies into friends and destroy them mentally. In order to prove himself to the emperor, not to lose to Prince Zhang Huai, and to make achievements, he could only choose physical destruction.
This is the way.
Perhaps, for Feng Lang, the teacher was only a part of his experience, a very small part.
After all, the teacher had just perfected his innate nature at that time and did not even have the golden elixir realm. Even if he was the son of a noble family, it would not be difficult to kill him.
Qin Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I want all the information at that time."
Naturally, Qin Yi would not just listen to the words of Marquis Changping.
Changping Hou also understood the reason why Qin Yi wanted these information, but he was not angry, but looked at Qin Yi with appreciation.
Yes, although Qin Yi did not receive an orthodox family education, he was brought up by Qin Xu who received an orthodox family education and taught him step by step. In some aspects, he is even better than many children from aristocratic families.
.
Suspiciousness and distrust are actually advantages among children from aristocratic families.
"I'll have someone get it for you right away."
Changpinghou was worried that Qin Yi would suspect that he was deliberately delaying the time and making false claims, so he and Qin Yi came out of the secret room. In front of Qin Yi, he called out the shadow guard and ordered him to retrieve all the information that he had investigated as quickly as possible.
Ten breaths later, Qin Yi took an empty bag handed over by the Marquis of Changping, took out the mountain-like bamboo slips piled inside, and read them one by one in front of the Marquis of Changping.
Qin Yi can read very quickly, with ten lines in one glance. However, Qin Yi's memory is very good, he basically has a photographic memory, and his understanding and analysis skills are also very strong.
After reading it, I basically analyzed it too much in my mind and had a result in my mind.
As he expected, the Marquis of Changping did not panic about this matter.
Qin Yi put these bamboo slips into the empty bag again, handed them back to the Marquis of Changping, and solemnly said: "Thank you very much."
Changping Hou smiled bitterly and said: "Axu is my son, and these are what I should do. How can I let you thank you for this? Moreover, what I did is not good enough, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do it."
…”
Having said this, the Marquis of Changping sighed deeply again.
Qin Yi raised his head, glanced at Changping Hou, and said, "My condolences."
Then he turned and left.
The Marquis of Changping looked at Qin Yi's back, and in a daze, he seemed to see the back of Qin Xu... The Marquis of Changping opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything when it reached his throat.
When Qin Yi's back disappeared, the Marquis of Changping suddenly woke up.
"A Xu is dead. That is not A Xu. He is just A Xu's disciple, Qin Yi."
After coming back to his senses, Marquis Changping stared blankly at the swing outside the window and murmured to himself:
"As expected, it was A-Xu who took him with him and taught him since he was a child. It seems like he was brought up."
