Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

According to Mrs. Ji, the place where the elders took care of themselves was a secluded place among the mountains that few people knew about. Even the young and strong could not get out, let alone these things. An old man who is hobbling.

Ji Wuyan asked again, "What about the guard? Could it be that the guard stole the witchcraft?"

The old lady said no, saying that those were her confidants, and she believed them from beginning to end.

Ji Wuyan no longer doubted it, so the problem only lies with these elders.After all, the old man who has gradually faltered over the years may have been a strong man back then. Although the mountains are dangerous, it is not completely impossible to get out. However, what is incredible is that after he left, my grandmother I haven't received any news from here in these years...

Unless...escape.

"In the early years, there was indeed an elder who was seriously ill." Mrs. Ji obviously thought of this, and after a brief recall, she also noticed something fishy. "The news I received is that the highly contagious disease has been linked to The corpses were all hastily carried out and burned. I was worried for a long time after receiving the news...but I never received any news about anyone contracting the disease again, so I gradually forgot about the matter. Yes. Now that I think about it, it’s quite strange.”

In the deep mountains and forests, even if there are people who take careful care, the discovery of the disease often lags behind. Since it is a highly contagious disease, how could it be possible that no one was infected with the same disease from the time the first patient contracted the disease to the time he died? disease?What's more, how did the elders get the disease when they were isolated from the rest of the world?Even if they get sick, those guards who can still have contact with the outside world should bear the brunt.

These strange things were actually obvious, but I was too worried about other people's health problems at the time and subconsciously ignored them.

"That's the fifth elder..." Mrs. Ji sighed, "At that time, he was still young, not much older than me... He was talented, proud, and ambitious, and he was full of ambitions and just waiting to do something big. The elders all said that if nothing else happens, he will definitely inherit the mantle of the great elder. However, before this day, the Presbyterian Council was disbanded by me. "

As a result, all ambitions, all expectations, as well as the future after becoming a great elder that he may have secretly imagined many times, all came to nothing on the day the Presbyterian Church was disbanded.What was left of pride was finally worn away bit by bit in the days that were euphemistically called rejuvenation but were actually confinement, and were replaced by anger and resentment.

A desperate escape, a desperate escape, and then... revenge on everyone.

"I shouldn't have been so kind..." The old lady sighed softly and lamented for a long time.

"Killing them all is not your style. Even if someone told you to remove the weeds at the time, you probably wouldn't be able to do it." Ji Wuyan took her hand and comforted her softly.

The Presbyterian Church has been a tradition of the Ji family for hundreds of years. Even those ancient and decadent family rules are a kind of inheritance. There is nothing wrong with the inheritors themselves, and breaking the inheritance does not only rely on the efforts of one person. In many cases, it requires the combination of the right time, place and people. And, both are indispensable.Therefore, being "conformist" is not a fault, and it is impossible for my grandmother to exterminate all the "conservatives" in this group of families just because of differences in stance and opinions.

We cannot ignore human lives just because we want to "nip it in the bud".

"Now that things have happened, being upset or regretful will not help." Ji Wuyan raised his eyes to look at the old lady, with gentle eyes but a twitching pain in his heart.She suppressed the pain and maintained her rational analysis, "If it had been someone else, it would have been possible to figure it out slowly. However, the matter now involves the East Palace and the royal family. The emperor is seriously ill and the prince is supervising the country. It is a troubled time. Once the East Palace's plan is exposed, , it will inevitably involve the Ji family. Grandma, is there a solution to that voodoo?" "The solution..." The old lady frowned and thought for a long time, still a little unsure, "Yes, there is, but I was so disgusted with this voodoo at that time. , I was determined to seal it, but I never studied it seriously, let alone studied the solution. Now I have some notes, but I am not sure at all. I can only wait for me to revise a book and send someone back to check. ." She was extremely talented and had a photographic memory, but after so many years and because she really hated it, she only remembered about fifty-six percent of it, making it difficult for her to speak rashly.

"In terms of time, there will still be some delay."

Ji Wuyan nodded and said, "I'll bother my grandmother." Fortunately, the old man came here in person, otherwise he would have to write a letter back to Jiangnan, and then repair the book and ask questions from Jiangnan. Going back and forth in this way would make the delay even longer. .

This was the only good news in the past few days. She sighed slowly, her brows and eyes looking much more relaxed than before.

The little girl is much thinner than when she left Jiangnan. The old lady also asked Ziqiu and then Mr. Chen before, and she said that she was very worried. She also said that the others were fine. The third master often came to take care of her, and Mr. Bai and Miss Shen.It's just that the little girl is here alone, with things on her mind and responsibilities on her shoulders, which is not as comfortable as in Jiangnan.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ji also sighed.

She didn't know much about the situation in Shangguan's family. His wonderful granddaughter was gone, and the old man Shangguan was hesitating and acting like a coward. It was really not his style.Although the old man is stubborn and old-fashioned, he is not a person who is afraid of trouble. He must have had other secrets when he left Beijing. They are all heads of families and heads of clans. No one is freer than the other. Some pain can be felt even if the teeth are broken. Swallowed with blood.

The old lady didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, but now she looked at the little girl who had lost a lot of weight and thought about the way she walked alone these days, and she felt distressed.

She touched Ji Wuyan's face, which was getting smaller than the size of a palm, and looked at the face that had become paler after being covered with a human skin mask for a long time. She sighed repeatedly and whispered, "Let me write it right now and let your brother send it to you." The people rushed over quickly, and you had a good rest. You have liked to eat the dishes cooked by Grandma Wang since you were a child. Now, tell her what you want to eat... this piece of meat..."

He shook his head, and after a while, he sighed again, "I'm getting more and more short of weight."

Short of, short of a pound or two?Chen Ning's atmosphere was instantly broken by such a sentence. Ji Wuyan shook his head and laughed, "You old man is becoming more and more informal."

After saying that, he was lightly hit twice on the head. The person who hit him did not dare to use more force. It was lighter than dust, but his tone was much more bitter, "If you don't want me to say that, just eat some meat." return!"

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but his footsteps paused again, "That's right..."
