Jiapingguan Chronicle

"The royal family of the former dynasty?" Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao, and Hong Ye looked at each other. The expressions of the three were very surprised, and at the same time, they were also very confused. A killer, an assassin organization? Isn’t it easy for them to kill someone? They still need to be sneaky?”

"It's a long story!" Xue Ruitian sighed softly, looked at Shen Haolin, "You say it, or should I say it?"

"Tell me, I just guessed that Riyi Pavilion is related to the former royal family, but I don't know the inside story." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "By the way, I remembered that the former royal family's background, although a famous family, But it's not that prominent, as if their ancestors were running around?"

"That's right!" Xue Ruitian snapped his fingers, "Although the royal family of the former dynasty was considered a famous family when they founded the country, their backgrounds were not particularly simple. stayed."

"That is to say, the Riyi Pavilion is actually the ancestral property. They relied on the ancestral property to rule the world, and they also attracted a big family like Wang Xie who wanted to be quite talented in governing the country. The previous dynasty had owned the country for nearly 400 years, right? ?”

"Xiaocha is right." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Riyi Pavilion is indeed the ancestral property of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it was generally controlled by the patriarch, but after the founding of the previous dynasty, it was not very convenient for the emperor to control this ancestral property personally. , and transferred it to my confidant."

"The confidant has a different surname?"

"Brothers who meet each other in life and death, the two climbed out of the dead together." Xue Ruitian said slowly, "According to what they say, they are brothers who kowtow and worship. They don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but they want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. The dead kind. Because the population cannot be verified, after the former dynasty established the country, the royal family transferred the Riyi Pavilion out. On the surface, it has nothing to do with the royal family, but in fact all the income of the Riyi Pavilion went into the emperor's private treasury. "

"It's really a good plan!" Shen Cha sneered, "You can get most of the money if you don't get a little black name. The reputation of the former royal family as a lover of money is really well-deserved."

"The brother with a different surname who took over Riyi Pavilion is..." Shen Haolin looked at Xue Ruitian, "Zhan Fangyan, the former general who protected the country, right?"

"That's right, it's him!" Xue Ruitian smiled, and nodded towards Shen Haolin, "Later, Riyi Pavilion was made up of Zhan, and gradually became the number one assassin sect in Jianghu."

"But..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Based on what we know about the royal family of the previous dynasty, although they have no skills, they think they are great, and they are very suspicious. They are not worried that the Zhan family will betray them one day. Regicide and rebellion?"

"That's not true. As I said before, the two brothers are saving each other's lives. The Zhan family will never betray the former royal family if they betray anyone."

"The relationship between saving each other's lives? Do you mean that if you saved my life, I will also kill yours?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nodded, Shen Cha chuckled, "Those who can share joys and sorrows, but cannot share wealth and wealth There are too many brothers, and it’s not uncommon for brothers who were close friends to break up in the end, isn’t it? According to the understanding of them, it’s not that they trust each other, but that they should have something in each other’s hands. If it is easily exposed, I am afraid that the country of the previous dynasty will collapse, right?"

"Don't tell me if you see through." Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with what we said, so don't pay too much attention to it."

"Then what happened later? If the former royal family had such a powerful weapon as Riyi Pavilion, the last emperor wouldn't be manipulated into that by Grand Master Cui, right?"

"Because the Palace of the Great General Protecting the Country was ransacked and wiped out, the Zhan family was completely gone, and the Riyi Pavilion has changed hands several times. Now, the person in power is no longer the former royal family. However, it is more or less related to the former royal family. The last two generations The person in power is an offshoot of the former royal family."

"A question." Shen Cha stretched out a finger, and said with curiosity on his face, "What did the Palace of the Great General Protecting the Nation do? How did it end up in this situation? Did you really conspire against him?"

"How should I say it?" Xue Ruitian rubbed his chin, "It's probably the master of high skill, and then he didn't know how to restrain himself, and was calculated by others."

"Let's hear it!" Hong Ye poked Xue Ruitian's waist and said, "I'm very interested in this, and the secrets of the previous dynasty are not something that just anyone can hear."

Xue Ruitian looked helplessly at Hongye, then at Jin Miaomiao and Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Jing who were also curiously looking at him, sighed softly, and nodded.

"Anyway, I've already checked, and it's a waste of money not to mention it." Xue Ruitian took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and waved his hands at Yingsi at the door, "Xiaocha said just now that the Zhan family holds the handle of the former royal family." , Right? Originally, they didn't want to use it, but their own descendants were really disappointing. Seeing the decline of the Zhan family from generation to generation, they gradually lost their original position in the court, so they moved their minds. "

"Are they trying to use this secret to threaten the former royal family and give them a retirement position?"

"Basically, it is to ensure the prosperity and wealth of future generations." Xue Ruitian sighed softly, "But at that time, not only the Zhan family was in decline, but also the royal family of the previous dynasty. Control the government. Therefore, the Zhan family is not threatening the former royal family, but Wang Xie."

"Oh, I understand!" Hong Ye clapped her hands, "The big clans led by Wang Xie, on the surface, value civility over martial arts, but in fact they raise their own private soldiers, but they will not allow generals like the Zhan family to rise again. , Knowing that the Zhan family has a royal secret in their hands, they want to use this secret to threaten them in exchange for their own interests, so they started ahead of time and charged them with treason and treason, completely letting the secret disappear, right? "

"Yes!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "If you want the secret to not be made public, you want the person who knows the secret to disappear completely. Speaking of cruelty, if these famous families dare to be the second, no one can be the first, right? Zhan The people in my family didn't expect that I just wanted to be rich and rich, and I didn't want to be involved in the court disputes, but I was calculated by others and ruined the lives of the whole family."

"The Zhan family is gone, so what about Riyi Pavilion?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "It stands to reason that with the Zhan family holding Riyi Pavilion, their lives would not be miserable every day. Could it be that at that time, Riyi Has the pavilion been changed hands?"
