1515 Suspicion, waves beneath the calm

The Fengli clan now really has nothing to fight for, but...

Feng Qingchen didn't even think about it. What could the side branch have used to fight for it in the past?

The selection and education of King Fengli have always been strict. Those who can sit on the throne of King Fengli are not simple characters. In addition, the military power has always been in the hands of King Fengli. Even if one or two incompetent King Fengli appear occasionally, no one dares to jump around as long as they hold the military power.

If the side branch wants to fight, this is the only time they will have a chance.

In Feng Lizhi's room, the Seventh Elder was not in the right state at all. He kept spinning in the same place, staring at the Sixth Elder intently, and said in a sharp voice: "Is it you? It's you, right? How could you do this, how could you..."

"Seventh Brother." The Sixth Elder interrupted sternly, "Don't say anything careless. You are such an adult, and you still don't know what to say and what not to say."

"How could I not know? If I didn't know, I would have just said it in front of everyone. If not you, who else could it be?" The Seventh Elder seemed to have fallen into madness, his eyes scattered: "I knew it, I knew you wouldn't accept it. You have been planning for so many years, and you were about to succeed, but the eldest lady took the advantage. How could you accept it, how could you..."

"Seventh Brother, everything I do is for the good of the Fengli Clan." The Sixth Elder's expression was also very ugly: "I didn't do this."

"If not you? If not you, who else could it be? Besides me, you are the only one who has dealings with the Fengli Clan and the Beiling Royal Family. Since I learned about the existence of the eldest lady, I have not contacted the Beiling Royal Family. I can't think of anyone else who would do such a thing except you. Don't forget, your most beloved grandson Youge died because of the eldest lady. You must have a grudge against the eldest lady." The Seventh Elder was horrified, and nodded heavily after he finished speaking: "It's you, it must be you. The death of the War King is also related to you, right?"

"Seventh Elder, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know what will happen to us if someone hears what you say?" The Sixth Elder felt a headache and motioned Feng Lizhi to come forward and comfort the Seventh Elder.

"Uncle Qi, calm down first." Feng Lizhi spoke, his voice was a little low, and there was a calming power. The Seventh Elder held Feng Lizhi's hand and said with a painful face: "Zhi'er, I can't tolerate this matter, I can't..."

"Uncle Seven, you really misunderstood my father. After all these years, you still don't understand what kind of person my father is. He values ​​the Fengli Clan more than his own life, so how could he betray his clan members?" In order to convince the Seventh Elder, Feng Lizhi told him about his recent movements. The Seventh Elder thought that the Sixth Elder really had no chance to contact the Beiling Royal Family, so he asked doubtfully, "Is it really not you?"

"Uncle Seven, I can swear on my life that we absolutely did not betray our people." Feng Lizhi swore solemnly, which slightly dispelled the Seventh Elder's suspicion. However, the Seventh Elder immediately asked, "What about the death of the War King? You didn't interfere?"

“No… Even if I want to replace the royal family, I will not attack the War King.” The Sixth Elder looked at the Seventh Elder calmly.

He indeed did not attack the War King, but... he knew about the matter and saw it all from beginning to end. At best, he was just watching someone die without helping, and at worse, he was just an accomplice.

The Seventh Elder heaved a long sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't do it, otherwise, otherwise... I would definitely tell the eldest lady."

"Uncle Seven, you still don't understand my father's character. How could he do such a thing? The Fengli clan suffered the most from the death of the War King. My father would never do anything that would harm the interests of the Fengli clan." Feng Lizhi took the opportunity to appease...

The third elder and the fourth elder were also discussing this matter in the first elder's room, and their suspect was also the sixth elder.

"The Sixth Elder has been sneaking around these years. He is the one who has the most frequent contact with the outside world in the clan. His granddaughter also followed an outsider and left before the incident. Do you think the Sixth Elder did this?" The Fourth Elder carefully raised his suspicions. The Third Elder nodded in agreement, but the First Elder shook his head: "No, although the Sixth Elder is good at scheming, he knows very well what he cannot do."

"Who could it be?" They couldn't feel at ease until the spy was found.

"No matter who it is, as long as the eldest lady is here, that person can't escape." The eldest elder thought of the confident Feng Qingchen, his face full of pride.

The third elder and the fourth elder looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

They have witnessed Feng Qingchen's strength, which is dozens of times stronger than what Feng Liyou said. It is not known whether it is a blessing or a misfortune for the Feng Li clan to have such a young lady.

The Third Elder hesitated for a while, but still asked carefully: "First Elder, do you think that when the eldest lady is investigating spies this time, will she also look into the murder of the War King?"

"Why are you asking this?" The first elder's eyes gleamed, and the third elder turned away guiltily: "I just want to ask, I want to know who was the one who attacked the War King in the first place."

"Don't worry, the young lady will find out. If you know anything, you'd better tell her in advance so that you can atone for your crime." The first elder looked at the third and fourth elders fiercely, scaring them so much that they shook their heads repeatedly: "We know nothing."

"Hmph... it's better this way. If I find out that you are involved in this, or if you keep it a secret, I will definitely ask the eldest lady to kill you." The Great Elder gave the two of them a warning look, scaring them so much that they nodded repeatedly.

After coming out of the Great Elder's room, the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder still had pale faces. They looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

What should they do?

Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince walked around the residences of several elders and gained a lot. After returning to the room, Feng Qingchen asked, "What do you think about the Fengli clan?" You can't watch the show for nothing.

"Although the Sixth Elder is jumping up and down, he does not have the courage to take action. The First Elder is too pedantic, and the Third and Fourth Elders are smooth, and they do not have the ability to take action even if they want to." Although the Ninth Prince has not gone out these days, it does not mean that he has done nothing.

Combining what he saw tonight, the Ninth Prince could roughly understand the situation of the seven elders of the Fengli Clan.

Feng Qingchen nodded slightly. She and Uncle Jiu had similar opinions, but Uncle Jiu did not mention all the people. "What about the others? What do you think?"

"You have an idea, so why do you need me?" The Ninth Prince took the water poured by Feng Qingchen and drank it all.

"I'm just afraid that I may not be able to judge people well." It's mainly because she is the one involved and she is confused. The Ninth Prince, as a bystander, can see things more clearly.

"It's obviously my own laziness." The Ninth Prince rubbed Feng Qingchen's head helplessly and lovingly, and continued: "Needless to say, the Fifth Elder is indeed loyal. It can be seen from all aspects that he is even blindly loyal to you." Feng Qingchen is lucky to have such a person in the Fengli clan.

"It's hard to say about the Seventh Elder. He has always been following the Sixth Elder and obeying his orders. As for whether he has his own plans, you have to ask him. At least it can't be seen on the surface."

"As for the Second Elder, even I cannot see through him. He has a very low sense of presence and always listens to the First Elder. Such a person is either extremely incompetent or has other plans. Moreover, he is not in the room at this time, which seems to be deliberately leading us to investigate him." According to the current situation, the Second Elder is the most suspicious and the most difficult to figure out. There are some things they cannot draw conclusions about now...
