The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Shaking off his doubts, Li Jixin continued his analysis.

"Baihua Theater is the predecessor of Laiyang Pavilion. The money Chen Su secretly collected should have been sent to Laiyang Pavilion. Feng Jiaoniang should be a breakthrough point.

There was something in Luling that Chen Su wanted, but how could he know what it was? He hoped that the fake gourd leaf could lure out all these demons and monsters.

There are still some nails in Jiyang that haven't been pulled out. I've heard from my eldest brother that we already know which one is the deepest, but we don't know which others are there."

Lu Changping couldn't help but ask, "The deepest nail? Who is it?"

A look of pain appeared on Li Jixin's face: "Ji Siyuan."

Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun had guessed that there was something wrong with Ji Siyuan before, but they were still a little sad when they confirmed that it was this person.

Ji Siyuan was raised in Prince Lin's mansion for twenty years. Prince Lin and his wife treated him well, and Li Jiren and Li Jixin also treated him as their own brother.

Just like Lin Yuwen, who had been in the Han family for nearly seven years, and the Han family treated him with great courtesy, but in the end...

Lu Changping also felt some sympathy for Li Jixin, but still couldn't understand.

"Master Ji? Didn't he go to Prince Lin's mansion when he was two years old? How could he be a nail?"

"I don't know, but my eldest brother is very cautious. He wouldn't say that if he wasn't sure."

Li Jixin's eyes were slightly red. His family really regarded Ji Siyuan as a relative, but Ji Siyuan was a thorn planted by others.

This incident was a much greater blow to my father than Zhao Qihua's betrayal.

Lu Changping still didn't understand: "Second Young Master, why did Ji Siyuan go to your house?"

The pain in Li Jixin's eyes grew more intense: "Ji Siyuan is the child of my father's deputy general, Ji Guang, but he has never seen his father since he was born.

After General Ji got married, he wanted to bring his wife to Jiyang, but Mrs. Ji was pregnant. So General Ji arranged for someone to take care of his wife and returned to Jiyang.

When Ji Siyuan turned one year old, General Ji felt that he was old enough to withstand the harsh weather in Jiyang, so he wrote a letter saying that he would go to pick them up.

But that year, my father went to Luocheng early to prepare for his wedding after the New Year. The Northern Rong took advantage of his absence to attack again, and General Ji fell into a trap and died.

Mrs. Ji did not wait for her husband, so she took Aunt Ji to Jiyang.

Lu Yanyan, Han Qingyun and Lu Fugui were all shocked.

They always thought that Ji Siyuan and his mother were taken in by Ji Guang.

But from what Li Jixin said, Ji Guang had never met Ji Siyuan.

"The housekeeper sent someone to inquire and learned that General Ji had unfortunately passed away. It was the Lantern Festival that day, and Madam Ji and a maid were holding their young child, crying their hearts out.

The housekeeper felt sorry for them and arranged for them to stay in the outer courtyard of the palace, waiting for their father to return to make further arrangements.

But who would have thought that Madam Ji would hang herself that night, sacrificing her life for love. After my father returned, he adopted Ji Siyuan as his adopted son and left him in Prince Lin’s mansion...”

Lu Fugui stood up suddenly, his face pale.

Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun looked at him, vaguely guessing that the person behind Ji Siyuan was most likely the one who harmed the Lu family twenty-one years ago.

"Brother, did you remember something?"

Li Jixin and Lu Changping looked at Lu Fugui, and seeing that his face was painful and confused, and he kept rubbing his forehead, they helped him sit down.

"Dad/Uncle Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Fugui felt a splitting headache, and the memories he had been trying hard to remember over the years finally came back slowly.

Twenty-one years ago, on the third day of the eleventh month, Lu Fugui took advantage of Lu Defu's absence and slipped out of the farm to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.

The waiter at the restaurant initially refused to let him in because he was a child.

A guest said that Lu Fugui was a child of Lu Zhuang, a wealthy businessman from Shangyang Prefecture, and would not be short of that little money for food.

After hearing that person mention Luzhuang, another guest followed up and said that the head of Luzhuang was really good at bragging, and actually said that the village produced 3,000 kilograms of grain per mu.

Everyone in the restaurant burst into laughter.

"Three thousand catties per mu? That's just wishful thinking. Forget three thousand catties. In Jiyang, if there is a grain yield of 300 catties per mu, the people of Jiyang can support it."

Everyone else echoed.

Some people teased Lu Fugui and asked him what was planted inside, being so mysterious.

Lu Fugui ignored them and left after dinner.

Not long after he walked out of the restaurant, he was knocked unconscious.

When he woke up, his hands were tied and his head was covered with a black cloth, so he could not see anything.

Lu Fugui heard the faint sound of a baby crying.

Before he could figure out what was going on, someone asked him if he was Lu Fugui, the only grandson of the Lu family in Fengxi Town, Wuping County.

Lu Fugui said nothing.

The man asked him again if there was anything special planted on the farm.

Lu Fugui still said nothing.

A cold voice sounded.

"You guys go to Luzhuang and take a look. If there really is high-yield grain, it will all be destroyed."

At that time, Lu Fugui didn't know who this person was.

But now he knew that the man was Wu Youren, or Kong Haibo, or Nan Tuohai.

After Kong Haibo's voice was heard, it was followed by the sound of several people leaving.

Lu Fugui was shocked. He was worried that those people would really destroy his grandfather's hard work, so he scolded them.

Kong Haibo got angry and slapped him.

"You little bastard, you should be thankful that you still have some value, otherwise you would be dead now."

Lu Fugui was beaten and fell to the ground. He knocked his head on the ground and pretended to faint.

"useless!"

"Don't be angry, Commander. Children from wealthy families like this are certainly not as delicate as the children in the pavilion. They are very fragile."

The baby's crying became louder and louder.

Kong Haibo seemed to be very concerned about the child, so he asked the people around him to keep an eye on Lu Fugui and left.

Lu Fugui didn't know how long it had been, but when he realized there was no one around, he quickly sat up.

Qin Chi and Qin Gang both taught him how to untie themselves.

Fortunately, those people saw that he was young and did not use too complicated rope tying methods.

Lu Fugui untied the ropes on his hands, took off the hood, and found himself in an unfamiliar room.

He quietly pushed open the half-open door and wanted to escape.

But in a strange house at night, he couldn't find his way at all.

He also had to hide in the yard, not daring to be seen.

From time to time, people walked back and forth in the yard.

He could only hide in the flowers at the back of a room.

Coincidentally, Kong Haibo and the crying baby were in the room.

Kong Haibo was whispering to the baby to stop crying.

A young woman's voice rang out.

"The weather in Jiyang is too cold, and the young master is still so young, why not use another child..."

A middle-aged woman's voice shouted loudly.

"Shut up, the lady is doing things, how can you talk?"

The young woman didn't dare to mention it again.

After a while, there was a sound of a door opening, and it seemed that someone entered the room.

"Commander, Prince Lin has already left Jiyang, and Ji Guang is also returning to Guanzhong."

Kong Haibo snorted coldly.

"Ji Guang can't stay any longer. Notify Beirong to take action. The Qi family is in Guanzhong. First, trick Ji Guang's family out of Guanzhong Prefecture and then deal with them."

Lu Fugui hid under the flowers. He couldn't understand what Kong Haibo said, but he could feel that they were planning a big secret.

He tried to escape but bumped into a flowerpot and was caught.

Lu Fugui still can't forget Kong Haibo's cold eyes.

He was beaten so badly that he almost thought he was going to die, but Kong Haibo spared his life.

He was then placed under close surveillance.

From time to time, someone took his belongings.

He knew that these people wanted to use these things to blackmail his grandfather and father.

But he had no way to stop it.

On New Year's Eve, he was forced to write a letter to his father to prove that he was still alive.

The reason he knew it was New Year's Eve was because a child about one and a half years old suddenly appeared in the room where he was locked up...
