Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 61: Is the Qi Family Was Wronged?

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Knowing the reason why the Qi family memebers were beheaded, Ke Ruan was silent.

Back then, the Qi family was one of the best in the country. Compared with the family of the prime minister, they were even better. They were all military ministers like General Lin, but there was one person who was exception — Qi Cheng’s father. He was an official minister and often at odds with the prime minister of Red Flame Kingdom.

Afterwards, without reasons, the prime minister said that the Qi family colluded with foreign countries. The crimes of collusion and treason, no matter when, were deadly sins which would be executed by shooting. Not only did they have witnesses, they also had proofs. Therefore, the ending of the Qis was palpable.

Lin Qingye didn’t tell the story using the words like ‘unjust deaths’. However, Ke Ruan felt Lin Qingye’s trust in the Qis among his words.

After finishing, Lin Qingye only let out a sigh.

Remaining in silence for a long time, Ke Ruan asked, “General Lin, do you think the Qi family is wronged?”

Lin Qingye nodded, “I was young at that time, and many things were out of my control. In addition, the evidence provided by the prime minister confirmed that the Qi family colluded with foreign countries. When I conquered the barbarious tribes, I also investigated this case, but I found nothing, not even a trace. But it’s just because of this that I doubted it.”

Therefore, there was a reason why Qi Cheng was so cruel in the book.

“Why does General Lin trust the Qis so much?”

Lin Qingye said, “I grew up with Qi Cheng, and he was only younger than me for a month. My father died when I was little, so I often visited the Qis. The Qis was sort of my second home. I know them for years, surely I could work them out. They were in the army for generations, and they even achieved notable merits. Although Uncle Qi was not a general, he loyally served the emperor and didn’t seek personal prosperity. How would a loyal minister betray his country?”

“Regarding that prime minister, General Lin… Did you find something?”

This prime minister was mentioned many times in the story. Ke Ruan thought it meant that this matter was caused by the prime minister. For some reason, maybe it was because of Lin Qingye, Ke Ruan felt there was something wrong with the prime minister.

It was not that he didn’t believe himself, he also wanted to find out the truth. But even Lin Qingye couldn’t find it out, how would he, a dabbler, make it?

Lin Qingye sighed. This was the tenth time he had sighed in half an hour.

“I found nothing. I didn’t find anything useful at all. Moreover, it has been so many years that it’s even harder to solve the case.”

Ke Ruan agreed.

“But now?” No. Ke Ruan thought of an issue of crucial importance: Qi Cheng hated the royals. Then… he… he… he was the Crown Prince of Red Flame Country. He would be dead for sure.

“General Lin, since the matter on this Qiaoshan Mountain is clear. Let’s go back now.”

No one could understand his current mood. He was about to curse. Why did he come here? He couldn’t help Lin Qingye, and nearly lost his own life.

Everything was finally seen clearly.

It was not a coincidence that little Han had suddenly disappeared. It was not a coincidence that the guard who had suddenly appeared enticed him to the hills. Everything was premeditated. This was so scary. Every space of this mountain was someone else’s territory. He even ate and drank here shamelessly like an emperor. Was he going to be a daredevil?
