"I know Mo Tieyi and the others who took action at the beginning, but who gave this order?"
Yan Qingchen glanced at me and said, "I don't know."
"you do not know?"
"Sister should be able to remember that when they assassinated Liu Shizhou and Liu Yi, I had not yet officially taken over the Yan family. Many things before were - my father was the decision."
“…”
My face suddenly became pale, and my voice was trembling: "You mean, is it my father who ordered the assassination of those officials in Yangzhou?"
If this is the case, wouldn’t Qinghan’s enemy who killed his father be?
Feeling my whole body trembling, Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Actually, I know that my sister has been worried about this all these days. You dare not ask, and I have no way to say it. However, I asked someone to check it out, but there is no definite evidence yet."
My whole body cooled down.
Between me and Qinghan, I knew there were too many obstacles. From the first day when I saw him, there was no time to calm us down, but I never expected that after almost all the sufferings were over, there would be such a cruel possibility in front of us.
If it's really a father...
If it was really the father who ordered his father and brother to assassinate...
I couldn't even think about it.
"Sister," the dark shadow in front of me shook. Qingchen was about to reach out to rub my eyebrows. I looked at him in a hurry. He said calmly: "Before things are confirmed, the more you think, the more you are, the worse it is for you."
“…”
"You always hope he can calm down. In my opinion, he is a very calm person."
“…”
"But you, if you can be less worried about gains and losses, maybe things will be better."
He immediately pulled my thoughts out of the chaotic quagmire - indeed, this matter was not confirmed, and any random thoughts were all about asking for trouble; and, I remember, in my impression, my father's focus on doing things was always Shu, and he never mentioned crossing the south of the Yangtze River or Yangzhou.
He is unlikely to order the assassination of Yangzhou officials.
Thinking of this, my mood calmed down a little. I looked down at Qingchen's concerned gaze and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Unexpectedly, I, a sister, need him to remind me
However, as soon as you calm down, your mind becomes much clearer.
I looked down at him: "You said that my father was the decision of many things at the beginning, but over time, many of the orders he issued were no longer verified, right?"
Qingchen nodded.
"Since there is no way to check from top to bottom, can we check from bottom to top?"
"..." His eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he understood something, and looked up at me: "Sister means--"
"When I was in Yangzhou, I saw the assassins who assassinated Liu Yi. One of them met me. His name was Mo Tieyi."
"Mo Tieyi?" Qingchen frowned again when he heard this name. I hurriedly felt that he seemed to have remembered something, and asked hurriedly: "You know this person, too?"
He nodded and said, "It's the grandson of the Tie Family Money House."
"Ah?" I looked at him in surprise, and then recalled it, and immediately remembered: "You mean, the one who follows Tie Yushan, Dad Mo?"
"Yes, it's him, Old Man Mo's grandson."
“…”
Unexpectedly, they had such a relationship.
Qingchen thought for a while and suddenly said, "Sister, you went to the Tie family yesterday. Do you think that Old Man Mo has left?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, but he didn't follow Tieyushan. Tieyushan has been walking for a while, but he left two days ago-" When I said this, I stopped suddenly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly gasped.
"Qinghan, it was Qinghan who took him away."
“…”
"After he recognized Hepin, the two left together. Back then, Mo Tieyi and his friends were arrested in Yangzhou, Hepin knew about these people from beginning to end, and they always wanted them to pay for their lives. Since she recognized Qinghan, she would definitely tell him about this!"
After hearing this, Qingchen frowned slightly and said, "Mo Tieyi's identity is not a secret. If Liu Qinghan is interested, he should be able to find out his relationship with Old Man Mo soon. Since Lao Yao left, the group of people have been a little unruly, and I don't like to deal with those people, so I didn't ask much about their whereabouts. It seems that Liu Qinghan found Old Man Mo because he wanted him to take him to find those people."
"Then where will they go?"
Qingchen immediately said, "I'll let you go down immediately and look for a few places where they were there. There is also Bishan and his territory, so I'll have to come and see it."
He said dark and solemnly: "If it's just a personal grudge, it's okay to kill a few of them."
“…”
"I'm only worried about one thing."
"What?"
"If Liu Qinghan really followed the clues and found Mo Tieyi, let Mo Tieyi draw who was ordered by that year..."
Speaking of this, my heart sank again.
After a while, I sighed and said slowly: "Let me find their whereabouts first. It's best to find them before everything can be recovered. Let's talk about it if you find it."
Qingchen nodded solemnly.

In the next few days, it started to rain in Chengdu.
An autumn rain and a cold, and the rain is dense, giving people a feeling of being invincible and suffocating. At the moment, Qingchen and I are facing this situation.
The Yan family was preparing to negotiate with the court. After the patriarchs of various major families came to Chengdu, they had spread completely in Shu. No matter where they went, they would hear people talking, and everyone had their own opinions and mixed praise.
And there are more and more people in the Yan family.
As soon as there are more people, I naturally have to face various problems. Although I have been staying in my doorstep these days and try to avoid meeting the clan leaders, I heard from Aunt Hong that many clan leaders have met in private in advance.
When they met, I could probably guess what they would say. There must be many people holding the same thoughts as Tang Yuan.
After all, I still have to wait for Mr. An and Tie Yushan.
Tie Yushan has not returned until now, and it may not be possible to catch up with this peace talk. Mr. An has been in poor health. I heard that he was still on the road and I don’t know when it will arrive. The patriarchs who had arrived at the Yan family obviously could not hold back. Qingchen greeted me and decided to hold a banquet tonight to welcome everyone.
Everyone knows that it is a way to welcome the air and dust, and they have to give an explanation first.
In the evening, I took a shower and made people feel more awake. After cleaning up, I went there. As soon as I walked to the corridor, I saw Wei Yang leaning against the pillar with his arms in his arms, looking at me with a smile: "Cousin."
I walked over and said, "I haven't seen you in the past two days, where have you been?"
"I didn't have anything to do, so I looked around."
"What did you see?"
"See, people are in panic."
I couldn't help but smile. Is this for him?
He also said: "Fortunately, Xishan Academy has a discussion first. Now many young people agree with the Yan family's approach. However, older people are not very happy."
I sighed, "Yes, if they are happy, Qingchen and I don't have to bother tonight."
As he was talking, he came to invite him for a second time. As the host, I couldn't arrive later than the guest, so I asked Wei Yang: "Do you want to come with me?"
He shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with me. Besides, if you have a cousin and the head of the family, I don't need to interfere."
I smiled and followed the servant.
When we arrived at the hall, it was not completely dark at this time, but the candlesticks inside were lit up, and the lights were illuminated every dark corner, making people feel particularly comfortable. Qingchen was already sitting inside, and Tang Yuan and the other two patriarchs also arrived and sat in their seats respectively. When they saw me coming, they immediately stood up.
I saluted them with a smile, walked over and sat next to Qingchen.
After a while, the remaining tribe leaders also arrived.
Everyone sat down one after another, Qingchen raised his hand to them with a smile and said, "I believe everyone already knows that this time, they invited all the old men to discuss the court's peace talks with Xichuan. Today, people have not arrived yet, and Mr. Tie and Mr. An have not arrived yet, but in order to relieve your worries as soon as possible, I would like to invite you to come first. I wonder if you want to eat something first or talk about things first."
An old man immediately raised his hand and said, "Head of the family, we are all old guys who are half buried in the soil. It doesn't matter if you eat more and less. However, the Yan family's century-old foundation and the people's livelihood in Xichuan are important. The head of the family should talk about it first."
Everyone around nodded and agreed.
Qingchen smiled and told Aunt Hong: "Select the food later."
Aunt Hong immediately went down and gave orders.
Then, Qingchen raised his head and said with a smile: "Now, you have something to say."
Those patriarchs looked at me and I looked at you, as if they were a little ready to move on their faces, but they didn't dare to be too rash. After a while, the old man who had just proposed to talk first stood up and said, "Since the head of the family has spoken, please forgive me for being rude."
Qingchen smiled and said, "It's okay if Mr. Feng has something to say."
The old man's surname is Feng, and he should be the patriarch of the Feng family in southern Sichuan. He is not tall, but he is particularly black and strong, with a gray face and a beard that is long. His whole head looks a little bigger than others, so he looks particularly straightforward.
