Zhuozhou, Qifu.

On the walls surrounding the Nuan Pavilion, two walls are hung with landscape paintings of pleasant breeze, and the other two walls are pasted with a whole set of seal script inscriptions.

On the luxurious wide bed made of golden nanmu, a muscular man of about forty or fifty years old lay quietly.

On the couch in front of the wide bed, there was leaning on a young man wearing a dark-colored undershirt, with black hair tied up, and his face had just faded from his childish look.

The young man's appearance is pure and elegant, with his slender eyelashes casting a thin shadow under his eyelids, a sinister curve on his lips, and the solemn temperament lingering around him. From a distance, he looks like the same person.

The secondary painting is like banishing an immortal.

The young gentleman, who was contemplating in front of the older man's bed, was none other than the world-famous 'Fairy' Fu Xiao, who had gone through life and death and fled from Shengjing to Zhuozhou.

The older man lying on the bed with a sick and lethargic look on his face was none other than Qi Changzheng, the governor of Zhuozhou and Fu Xiao's maternal grandfather.

Qi Changzheng, the governor of Zhuozhou, had been ill since the winter last year. Many doctors came to diagnose and treat him, but they could not find the real cause, so there was no way to treat him.

At the beginning of his illness, Governor Qi was not very energetic, but he could still manage things. Gradually, he became more and more lethargic. Three months ago, he fell into a complete lethargy and never woke up.

As he gradually loses weight, he starts to look bad.

Today, Fu Xiao came to Nuange early in the morning and sat down in front of his grandfather Qi Changzheng's couch. He frowned and pondered. He sat there for three hours and seemed to have something difficult to explain.

All the servants and servants were waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion, and they did not dare to come in and disturb him.

The maids who were opening the curtains saw a tall figure from a distance, holding two crutches on one leg, coming hurriedly towards this side. They quickly lifted the curtains and welcomed the people into the Nuan Pavilion.

This one-legged man is none other than Qi Hongzhang, the eldest son of the Qi family.

Qi Hongzhang was the eldest son of the governor of Qi. Just before he entered the battlefield, one of his legs was chopped off by an enemy general. Although he barely managed to save his life, he became a one-legged man and was never able to participate in the battlefield or officialdom again.

As for the Qi family, they don't know whether it's because the feng shui of the ancestral graves in the family is not good, or because the fate of sons is weak. Each generation has many daughters, but only one son.

After Qi Hongzhang was crippled in battle, his generation and the Qi family had no one to take over.

In Qi Hongzhang's generation, the Zhuozhou Qi family has no one who can stand up in the family. There were many people waiting to see the Zhuozhou Qi family's show, but the Zhuozhou Qi family did not remain silent because of this, which was surprising to everyone.

Unexpectedly, he recruited a poor man with both civil and military skills as his son-in-law, and supported him to take the position of governor of Zhuozhou.

This move of the Qi family fully demonstrated the Qi family's control over Zhuozhou, and made those who were waiting to take advantage of the situation stop thinking about other things.

The current head of the family, Qi Changzheng, was strong and strong. After stabilizing the situation by recruiting a son-in-law, he immediately began to train the third generation successor of the Qi family. Qi Hongzhang, who had broken his leg, carefully took charge of the Qi family's own army.

Because the Qi family has the head of the family, Qi Changzheng, at the helm, it has not become weaker due to the disability of this generation of heirs, and is still the well-known 'overlord' of Zhuozhou.

However, all this has changed now.

The Qi family was originally married to the Fu family of Shengjing, and each generation would marry their eldest daughter into the Fu family to be the matron of the family. One of the two families was in charge of the military, and the other was in power. They had been helping each other for many years, and they were close friends.

.

Unexpectedly, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the world began to become unstable. After the barbarian Wu thieves unexpectedly led their cavalry to surround Shengjing, the royal family wanted to protect themselves and offered him the title of prime minister in exchange for a chance to survive. Not long after, the Fu family of Shengjing

He confronted the Wu thief and was suddenly exterminated.

The incident happened so suddenly that before the Qi family in Zhuozhou had time to react, they heard the news that their long-standing ally, the Fu family, had suddenly fallen and their eldest daughter had passed away.

Not long after the news came back to Zhuozhou, the head of the family, Qi Changzheng, who had always been in good health, also began to be bedridden. Therefore, the Qi family's external affairs were handed over to his son-in-law Jiang Zhoumu to handle.

In this situation, Jiang Zhoumu became the leader of the Qi family. He made the right decision and mobilized one hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Qi family. He appointed the generals who led the troops and led the troops to Shengjing, promising to fight for the Fu family.

The Wu thieves seek justice and Daji purges thieves who want to steal the country.

Fu Xiao fled all the way to Zhuozhou. As soon as he entered the city, he heard local people gossiping about how the Qi clan was expropriating people and how cruel the Qi clan's daughter was.

Zhuozhou is the stronghold of the Qi family's power. The people here can discuss the Qi family at will. One can imagine the current situation of the Qi family.

As soon as Fu Xiao heard the news, he knew something was wrong and immediately asked his men to find out where the news came from.

However, without further investigation, he found out that his aunt, Qi Ya, the governor's wife of Zhuozhou, was running the adoption camp to select noble sons.

When Fu Xiao heard the report from his subordinates, he frowned and felt that the matter was quite strange. As a new comer to Zhuozhou, he could easily find out the information, but the Qi family who was in power here did not pay attention to the information.

After reacting, Fu Xiao immediately concluded that something was wrong with his grandfather's family and hurried to Qi Mansion.

If an aunt chooses an adopted son, she chooses an adopted son. This is a good thing. Who doesn’t want their promising child to have a higher status in the future?

Why would you want to seize a man's heir and then raise him to kill him? This is really not what normal people would do!

Even if the adopted son selected for doing this has no previous memories, how can he sincerely treat his aunt as his mother if he learns the truth about his past life from anyone in the future?

My aunt wants to choose an adopted son, not an enemy!

My aunt is not a stupid person, how could she act like this?

Even if my aunt is crazy and insists on doing this, she will definitely hide this matter for the sake of reputation. The people working below will not let this matter cause a storm in Zhuozhou Prefecture!

Now, due to the fact that the Qi family in Zhuozhou selected a son for the adopted son camp run by their aunt, the good reputation of the Qi family that has been operating in Zhuozhou for a hundred years has disappeared overnight.

As a result, the people of Zhuozhou no longer love and respect the Qi family as before. Zhuozhou is the headquarters of the Qi family, and soldiers come from among the people. If these rumors continue to spread, the Qi family will want to recruit troops here in the future.

The implementation of some policies will inevitably encounter resistance from the bottom up, which will be quite disadvantageous for the Qi family to be in charge of this place!

Just imagine, who would believe that a ruthless and self-interested person would benefit the people of Zhuozhou?

Behind this matter, there must be someone behind it, and the target is the Zhuozhou Qi family!

As for the person who can hide this from his aunt and dispatch the Qi family members at will, don't think too much about it. Who else can it be except Uncle Jiang, who married into the Qi family?

Now my grandfather is seriously ill, Uncle Jiang is hiding evil intentions, the people of Zhuozhou are even more resentful of the Qi family, and my grandfather's family is also in danger!

When Fu Xiao first arrived in Zhuozhou, he had not had time to enjoy the comfort and care from his relatives. He was faced with another endgame. If not handled properly, the Qi family would be in danger and he would be the next Fu family.

As soon as Fu Xiao entered the Qi Mansion, he didn't bother to tell his own suffering first. He went straight to his aunt Qi Ya, who came to pick him up with tears on her face, and asked her why she wanted to set up a righteous son camp and select a noble son.

As expected, the selection of the noble son in the adopted son camp was facilitated by his uncle Jiang Zhoumu. The steward responsible for the selection of the noble son was also chosen by Jiang Zhoumu before he led his troops to Shengjing.

He spent a lot of time using divination words to coax his aunt Qi Ya into acting according to his ideas.

After thinking about this, Fu Xiao decided to pass all the information he came into the city to Qi Ya for review.

Qi Ya was unable to conceive due to physical reasons, and she did not want to share her husband with other women, so her husband, Jiang Huanwei, became childless because of her.
