Chapter 352 He is really ruthless
"What the old drunkard said at the door of Huixianju was not a boast. His family's ancestors were really rich before. The old drunkard's grandfather was the master of the Wenyuan Pavilion of Xiqi State."

On the way to the residence of the father and son, Fu Hu carefully talked to Su Shixia about the intelligence he had collected.

"Miss, you don't know much about the West Qi Kingdom. You may not know the importance of the Wenyuan Pavilion of the West Qi Kingdom. Wenyuan Pavilion is independent of the court of the West Qi Kingdom and is regarded as a holy place for scholars. Those who can teach in the Wenyuan Pavilion , all of them are great Confucians of the time. And the person whose ability surpasses those great Confucian scholars to be elected as the head of the Wenyuan Pavilion must be a sage whose knowledge, character, and talents are first-rate."

"The old drunkard said that when he was young, many people brought him treasures and invited him to participate in poetry gatherings, but he didn't bother to go. This is the truth. My subordinates have found out that the old drunkard's name is Ji Qingcheng, and he is the literary poet back then. The eldest grandson of Ji Hongyuan, the master of Yuan Pavilion."

"This man was also very talented and famous back then. Everyone was saying at the time that Ji Hongyuan named his eldest grandson 'Cheng' because he deliberately wanted to train Ji Qingcheng to inherit his mantle in the future."

"Ji Qingcheng was young and vigorous back then, and everyone in the imperial capital admired his talent. However, because he was too arrogant and arrogant, he naturally attracted a lot of criticism. That criticism came after his younger brother Ji Qingyuan revealed his talent. , reached its peak.”

Fu Hu talked for a long time, and Su Shixia finally heard the name "Ji Qingyuan" from his mouth, and her eyebrows couldn't help but rise.

"So, that old drunkard...the Ji Qingyuan Ji Qingcheng is looking for is his younger brother? Is he his biological brother?"

"Yes, he is his biological brother."

Fu Hu said: "Ji Qingyuan and Ji Qingcheng have the same mother, and they are five years younger than Ji Qingcheng. Logically speaking, there is an age gap between the two, and it is unlikely that the younger brother will steal the limelight from his elder brother. But Ji Qingyuan is a genius. He can write a thousand words at the age of three. At the age of five, he was able to compose poems that have been handed down for generations, and at the age of seven, he was able to compete with the top scholar in the new branch of science, the Fei Hua Ling, and he was able to avoid falling behind."

Feeling Su Shixia's suspicious eyes on him, Fu Hu explained: "I heard this too. I can't guarantee that it is true. I can only confirm that Ji Qingyuan's reputation was indeed better than that of Ji Qingcheng back then."

"When Ji Qingyuan was 14 years old, he was already famous throughout the imperial capital. Even their grandfather, Ji Hongyuan, the master of Wenyuan Pavilion, was relatively more fond of Ji Qingyuan and took Ji Qingyuan with him to educate him personally."

"Ji Qingcheng once thought that he was the most favored person of the Ji family and the heir chosen by his grandfather. But after Ji Qingyuan was born, everything changed."

"People are just afraid of comparison. How can Ji Qingcheng be convinced by Ji Qingyuan all the time?"

"When Ji Qingyuan was 15 years old, Ji Qingcheng offered to have a public fight with Ji Qingyuan. As you can imagine, the end result was Ji Qingcheng's disastrous defeat. From that day on, the two brothers completely broke up. Ji Qingcheng left Ji Qingcheng in anger because of this. Home."

Fuhu was usually a man of few words, so it was hard for him to say so much in one breath today.

Su Shixia took the initiative to take out a water bag from the space and handed it to him so that he could drink some water to moisten his throat.

While Fuhu was drinking water, she followed up: "As an elder brother, but being crushed by his younger brother in every aspect, it is reasonable for Ji Qingcheng to feel resentful because of this."

"But... in the final analysis, these things are just a dispute between the two brothers. No matter what, Ji Qingcheng won't have murderous intentions towards his brother because of this kind of thing, right?"

"Ji Qingcheng didn't want to kill Ji Qingyuan because of their brothers' personal grudges."

Fuhu grabbed the water bag and drank several sips of water. Then he wiped his mouth and finally got to the point of the problem.

"He wanted to kill Ji Qingyuan because Ji Qingyuan killed his whole family."

Fu Hu was not very good at telling stories, and his voice was flat when he spoke this sentence, with almost no emotion.

But Su Shixia and Lian Qiao were both shocked after hearing this.This time, before Su Shixia could speak, Forsythia could not help but speak first: "No, Fuhu, please speak clearly! What does it mean to kill his whole family?"

"After Ji Qingcheng left the Ji family and got married and had a son, then Ji Qingyuan took the initiative to come and kill his whole family?"

"no."

Fuhu frowned, as if he couldn't understand how Forsythia could think so badly.

"After Ji Qingcheng left the Ji family, he calmed down his temper and went on study tours in various places incognito, visiting Mingchuan Mountains. Although Wen Dou lost to his younger brother, he still refused to admit defeat, hoping that after increasing his knowledge, he would one day be able to return When the Ji family defeats Ji Qingyuan in an upright manner, let Ji Qingyuan bow to him and admit defeat."

"He was away for five years. During those five years, he never returned to the Ji family even once during the New Year. It was because he had no contact with the Ji family that he didn't know that something had happened to the Ji family."

Fu Hu said: "When Ji Qingyuan was 20 years old, he and his grandfather had a fierce quarrel. The specific reason for the quarrel is unknown to outsiders."

"The news I got is just that I heard that Ji Hongyuan was so angry that he fell ill and almost died. After he woke up, he said that he wanted to seek help from the family and break Ji Qingyuan's limbs with his own hands, so that he would never be able to step out of the Ji family's house again for the rest of his life. Half a step to the door.”

"Naturally, Ji Qingyuan would not sit still and wait for death. That is to say, the night when the news that Ji Hongyuan was going to use family methods against him spread, Ji Qingyuan set the entire Ji family on fire."

Su Shixia frowned, Forsythia couldn't help but gasped on the spot, and sighed in a low voice: "It's so cruel."

"Yes, very cruel."

Fuhu agreed very much with Forsythia's evaluation.

"I don't know what method Ji Qingyuan used. That night, the people around him saw that the Ji family's house sank to the bottom and was swallowed up by fire in almost the blink of an eye. They wanted to go in to put out the fire, but all the doors were blocked. If it's locked, they can't get in at all, and the people inside can't get out."

"In just one night, more than 100 members of the Ji family, including the master and his subordinates, were all burned alive in the house. No one survived except Ji Qingyuan."

Su Shixia raised her eyebrows, "How can you be sure that Ji Qingyuan is not dead?"

"After he set fire to Ji's house, in the early morning of that day, he knelt at the gate of Ji's house, kowtowed three times and left. This scene was seen by many people at the time. It is said that the officers and soldiers wanted to hunt down Ji Qingyuan at that time, but he After escaping from the imperial city, he quickly disappeared completely, and the massacre that caused a sensation at that time was just ignored."

While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of a dilapidated courtyard in the alley.

Fuhu stepped forward and pushed open the door to invite Su Shixia in. He lowered his voice and said, "It was only after Ji Qingcheng returned to the imperial city that he learned the news that the Ji family had been exterminated. From that time on, he started drinking heavily and his personality changed. He is so crazy that he keeps shouting all day long to kill Ji Qingyuan for revenge."

"Miss, although I have temporarily controlled Ji Qingcheng, when I see him later, you'd better not mention Ji Qingyuan's name in front of him. I'm afraid that he will suddenly go crazy again. If I accidentally hurt you, then I will Oh no."

Su Shixia responded to his words and strode towards the courtyard.

Just a few steps into the yard, a figure suddenly rushed towards him and knelt down in front of her with a "pop".
