I'm the one running the game

The young man is named Duan Chen. He is the eldest son of Xiacai Duan family. He is weak in health, but this is not a problem. The real problem is that his biological mother died early. His father remarried and married a stepmother, who gave birth to a younger brother who is three years younger than him.

Of course, this is not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that this stepmother's family is also quite powerful, belonging to the type of strong alliance.

Fortunately, as the eldest son, he has the protection of his uncles, aunts, and family elders, so he has not encountered any bullying incidents. Instead, he has all the rights he should have.

He has also made progress and has become a scholar at a young age.

If he goes one step further and becomes a juren, he can protect the whole family, and then the world will be in chaos.

It stands to reason that they are a big family and have little influence, but his father followed the rebellion and became one of the famous anti-kings.

This is fine. Anyway, he can do anything to take over, and Duan Chen's talent can also be implemented.

But there is a but in everything. His father died on the front line two days ago. The news was passed to Xiacai Duan family. No one knows how he died.

If nothing unexpected happens, Duan Chen will succeed his father as the rebel king. It's natural for the son to inherit his father's business.

He has a younger brother who is not an ordinary person, and his stepmother is even more capable. When Duan's father succeeded in the rebellion, she and her mother's family helped him.

How could he be willing to see the family business fall into Duan Chen's hands? Therefore, through the exchange of interests, they forced Duan Chen to leave in the ancestral hall.

As for the original uncles, aunts, and family elders, they have been subtly bribed over the years. In addition to the final interests and in order to maintain their Duan family foundation, they can only acquiesce to the mother and son to drive Duan Chen away.

Anyway, the two brothers are members of the Duan family, and it doesn't matter who inherits.

After Duan Chen left, he could only temporarily live in his biological mother's hometown. Unexpectedly, his younger brother and stepmother did not let him go, and directly killed him and his only remaining old servant on the way.

After listening, Lu Xingshi also commented: "It's really a simple way to seize power."

"It's just that the process is a bit bad. If it were me, I would just punch you to death, and then I would beat anyone who raised an objection to it." Lu Xingshi also said his own solution.

Duan Chen also smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Duan, is it the Duan Li who claimed to be the King of Yue?" The old emperor sounded a little familiar.

"It's my father." Duan Chen replied.

"So these people are actually your soldiers." Lu Xingshi took a look and could explain it clearly.

The mother and son must not make a big fuss to eradicate the roots, and can only act carefully.

If the news of killing Duan Chen spreads, their reputation will also be affected. They can even kill their own brother, so what else can they not dare to do?

Not everyone is Li Shimin and can bear the consequences.

"That's not right. Before, there was a group of people wearing the same clothes as you who were hunting down the Holy Fire Cult's Saint, but they didn't bring crossbows and claimed to be the remnants of the Former Yan." Lu Xingshi remembered the group that had hunted down the old emperor's illegitimate daughter.

"This... my stepmother's maternal family is indeed the blood of the Former Yan." Duan Chen said helplessly.

"Fuck, you still want to inherit your father's property in this situation? You don't even have a few soldiers. Your stepmother has shown great respect for you by forcing you. If his son wanted to fight for the property, the other heirs might not even be able to leave the door." Lu Xingshi pointed at the old emperor and teased.

Lu Xingshi understood that if Duan Chen was not in the troubled times, but when Dasong was still strong, with his potential, the mother and son would not dare to use any means at all.

Even if he passed the imperial examination, the two of them would have to be honest and dare not do anything against the will.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.

Duan Chen not only had no military power, but even his trusted followers were dealt with, leaving only this old servant. How could he fight against the enemy?

More importantly, this group of soldiers didn't even know Duan Chen, otherwise they could have killed the wrong person? It is also possible that they didn't kill the wrong person, but simply exposed themselves after admitting the mistake, so they just killed him directly.

"Brother, I am a mediocre person. How can I lead troops to fight?" Duan Chen said with a wry smile.

"Okay, then wait a moment, I will torture these people to see if your story can match."

"It doesn't matter if there are some minor flaws. The main thing is to confirm that these people are definitely from your so-called Xia Cai Duan family." Lu Xingshi said, dragging people aside.

Then he started to torture.

Then he heard shrill screams one after another.

Lu Xingshi's torture did not need torture instruments as an aid at all. He could torture them by calling out some sub-gu.

Duan Chen listened to the screams, and the blood on his pale face became more floating.

It lasted about half an hour before Lu Xingshi finished asking his questions.

It was inevitable that they would be quick. These people were not disciples of the Dongtian Sect or the disciples of a big sect. There was nothing to torture them.

"It's confirmed. They are from your family." When Lu Xingshi said this, Duan Chen was relieved.

"I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."

Suddenly, Lu Xingshi changed the subject.

"Please speak, brave man. As long as you don't let me commit crimes and violate human ethics, I will do my best!" Duan Chen said hurriedly.

These words were indeed sincere. Lu Xingshi indirectly saved his life.

"Take me to the Duan family. I plan to send them all to reunite with your father. The three aunts, the seven aunts, your brother and your stepmother, none of them will be missed." Lu Xingshi said.

Now that we have found the root cause, just kill the other party's whole family.

As for Duan Chen, it depends on how he performs on the road. If he performs well, let him go. If he doesn't, send him on the road together.

"This, this, this... is absolutely impossible." Duan Chen quickly refused: "They are unkind to me, but they always let me live. But I can't be unkind to them and do such crazy things."

This kid's moral bottom line is quite high, and he has some ideas of repaying evil with kindness.

"If a strong man wants to vent his anger, just kill me, and I am willing to forgive him." Duan Chen also gave a solution.

It’s not that this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work.

"You? What good can I gain by killing you? I can't vent my anger." Lu Xingshi complained. Furthermore, what he wanted to do was to eradicate the root cause, not to actually kill him to vent his anger.

"As long as the warriors don't destroy my Duan family, please feel free to make other conditions."

Hearing Duan Chen's words, Lu Xingshi looked him up and down and felt that this guy seemed to be a talent.

"How talented are you?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"I don't dare to call him talent, he is a bit incompetent." Duan Chen said humbly.

"That's just right. I'm short of people over there. You come and work with me. As for what position you are suitable for, someone will arrange it for you." Lu Xingshi thought that since they said that the conditions were met, he could just take him to work.

"No, my young master is also a son of a wealthy family. How could he..." the old servant said immediately.

However, the old emperor spoke sarcastically: "You actually want such an indecisive and pedantic idiot who just lowers his head and begs?"

In Lu Xingshi's opinion, this performance is actually quite good, at least he knows how to be grateful.

However, in the eyes of the old emperor, it was simply stupid. If it were him, he would definitely agree to Lu Xingshi and take everything back with Lu Xingshi's hands.

"Just follow what the strong man said, I'll just be a long-term worker for the strong man." Duan Chen's expression relaxed. He did not think that Lu Xingshi was deliberately making things difficult for him.

If you really wanted to make things difficult, you wouldn't say something like this.

"Master! How could you..." The old servant was also anxious. He didn't expect that Duan Chen actually agreed.

"It's a deal, if you break your promise, I will kill your whole family." Lu Xingshi did not make the other party swear an oath or say anything, but directly threatened him.

"Don't worry, strong man. Once you make a move, it's hard to catch up." Duan Chen said immediately.

The old servant was very anxious there, but since Lu Xingshi was stronger than him, he really had no way to resist.

"Tell me what's going on with your stepmother's family. I remember, haven't all the remnants of the former Yan State been recruited by the Yan State? Why are there still remnants wandering outside?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"I don't know much about this, but I have heard some rumors."

"It is said that my stepmother's natal family is not of the blood of the former Prince Yan, but of the blood of Prince Xi." Duan Chen said.

At the end of Qian Yan, the prince's bloodline from Murong Xuanzu was originally supposed to be the second prince, but the original prince died, and it was the turn of the second prince from Murong Xuanzu to become the prince and heir apparent.

The prince who died early was posthumously named King Xi, so he was called Prince Xi.

However, some bloodlines were passed down and eventually settled in Xiacai.

If we talk about orthodoxy, the other party is indeed much tougher than his master. Unfortunately, we don’t talk about bloodline but strength now. Lu Xingshi is not the descendant of Murong, but he can become the orthodox king of Yan. No matter how fake he is, he is still true, and no matter how true the others are, without him The consent is also false.

"Look what you did, why are there remnants everywhere?" Lu Xingshi looked at the old emperor with hatred.

The old emperor is numb. You, the biggest remnant of Qian Yan, even arrested the current emperor, and you still talk to him about this.

Duan Chen was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Let me introduce this person who doesn't seem to be very popular. King Yan Lu Xingshi is the number one in the world."

"That's right, you still boarded a pirate ship, and it was the largest ship in Dasong. Whether your stepmother's natal family is of the blood of the former Yan royal family, as long as she doesn't admit it, it will be a lie for the rest of her life." The old emperor did not hesitate. Just reveal Lu Xingshi’s background.

Duan Chen's face turned into shock, and even the old servant didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi also introduced the old emperor: "I don't count, this is the heavyweight, the Supreme Emperor Dasong. He was a guest in Liao Kingdom before. When I went to visit the King of Liao, I took him back to Dongling. After living for a while, when I return to Kyoto will depend on when I move to Kyoto to settle down.”

After the introduction, Duan Chen's brain shut down and his CPU almost burned out.
