Chapter 565: For that person, the entire Huo family was buried with him
His father has a very strong sense of family ties, so even though his brothers are not close to him, he still treats them as his brothers.
In his opinion, you don’t treat me as a relative, so I don’t have to treat you as a relative. Blood relationship is sometimes not as good as that of a neighbor or friend.
Huo Xiangxi burst into laughter:
"Brother? Haha, yes, he is my younger brother. He is the fourth child. Before he grew up, my father valued me the most. Even the eldest brother had to listen to me. But since he was a teenager, he is the only one left in his father's eyes."
"The Huo family belongs to me. If it's not me, then it should belong to my eldest brother. Why should he? He is the fourth child. He has older brothers above him and younger brothers below him. It's not his turn anyway!"
Huo Xiangxi's eyes were filled with jealousy.
He is nearly ten years older than the fourth child. He has enjoyed his father's love and attention for ten years. But how come all this is gone as soon as the fourth child comes along?
He always felt that the Huo family would be his in the future, and the title would also be his.
The eldest brother was a rough and stupid man who was fooled by himself. The third brother was a short-lived man who was weak since childhood and could not practice martial arts and died early. The fifth and sixth brothers were cowardly and incapable of achieving anything.
He is the only one with the most promising future in the Huo family. His mother also likes him and says that the Huo family will depend on him in the future and everything will be his.
But the fourth one happened to come.
He still remembered that his mother used to like the fourth child very much. The fourth child was well-behaved and cute when he was a child. Naturally, he was unwilling to suddenly lose the love of his parents.
So he often complained about the fourth child in front of his mother, and also designed to make the fourth child talk back to his mother, and even pushed his mother down twice.
My mother believed in Buddhism the most. The fourth child even broke her Buddha statue. A master said that the fourth child was a disaster star, and my mother believed it, so she gradually began to hate him.
He also knew his mother's temper, and he was the only one who could make her happy.
But on his father's side, no matter what he did, he couldn't sow discord between his father and the fourth brother.
When the fourth child grew up, he was better at martial arts than his father. His father said that he was a martial arts genius and could defeat him at such a young age.
Later, when he went to the battlefield, he made many military achievements. His father valued him even more and was probably willing to give him both the title and the Huo family army.
How could he be willing?
He resented why his mother gave birth to the fourth child, and thought more than once that it would be better if there was no fourth child.
The Huo family is still his.
Fortunately, the fourth brother also died young. He really didn't do anything. He just arranged two traitors around him. It was his own fault for not judging people well. Who should he blame?
Even after his death, he thought his father would still value him and he would still be the most proud son in his father's heart.
Who knew, another Huo Yuan would come!
His father would rather train the eight-year-old Huo Yuan than even look at him again, and even wanted to take away his military power.
Thinking of this, Huo Xiangxi's face was filled with hatred.
Shen Yuan also knew why he was like this.
After enjoying parental love for a long time, he becomes jealous and twisted when his parents suddenly favor other children.
They are still a small Huo family, not an imperial family.
What is the difference between them and the princes in the royal family who are fighting for power.
In the end it's all about power.
No matter whether it is a title or an emperor, or even the position of the head of a family, as long as there are many brothers, there seems to be inevitable struggle.
How many families are there where the brothers are truly friendly and respectful to each other?
So, this is probably the real reason why my grandfather has always wanted to retire.
Shen Yuan didn't want to discuss this issue with his uncle anymore, so he changed the subject:
"Tell me, who is the master who went to the mine? Who are you working for?"
After he asked this, Huo Xiangxi finally pulled his thoughts back, but he also sneered:
"Where is the master? From the beginning to the end, I am the only master."
Shen Yuan knew that he would not say it so easily, so he was not in a hurry.
"If we send you back to the capital, the entire Huo family will be executed. You, your uncle, and your cousins will not be able to escape. For that person, you have to sacrifice the entire Huo family!"
He didn't believe his lies.
He did everything by himself. Although his second uncle was bold and had always been dissatisfied with the royal family and had long wanted to rebel, his grandfather was not dead yet and he had no one behind him, so he did not dare to start a rebellion so quickly.
What's more, with his ability, he can't run such a big business.
He had previously suspected his second uncle, thinking that he only had a few thousand people under his command at most, but the reality was obviously not the case. This time there were more than ten thousand people in the mine alone.
The number of people who have not been transferred to the mines will only increase, not decrease.
It is even possible that those who have not been transferred are the real soldiers.
They are the soldiers who have been on the battlefield.
"You may not know that your uncle and I have always been dissatisfied with our ancestors giving up the throne to the Yun family. Our ancestors and the Yun family conquered the world together, and without our Huo family, the Yun family would not have been able to gain the world."
"But the Yun family is still afraid of us, especially the late emperor, who wanted to get rid of the Huo family more than once. I have long wanted to rebel. Isn't this right?"
Huo Xiangxi really didn't seem to care at all, and he always had a smile on his face, even though he was sweating profusely from the pain.
"That's right. You and uncle have always thought so, and grandpa has always known it. However, you don't have that much ability! Who on earth could allow you to protect him to this extent?
Or, do you have something on someone else? But, if you are not even afraid of death, what kind of evidence do you have? I can only say that person is extremely important to you!"
Shen Yuan had already made a guess.
Huo Xiangxi began to look at him with admiration.
"You are very smart. It's no wonder that your grandfather values you. It's just that you are too kind, just like your father. If you didn't care about this matter, you could live a carefree life with Shen Yuan's status. But you couldn't let it go and dragged yourself into this."
Huo Xiangxi looked at Shen Yuan with a "you are stupid" expression and continued;
"Since you know that person is very important to me, don't ask any more questions. I am not afraid of death and can endure such pain. How about you?"
His face was full of sarcasm and he looked as if he was ready to die.
"For that person, you dragged the entire Huo family into this. Uncle and the others shouldn't know about that person's existence, right?"
Shen Yuan also stared at him intently.
He suspected that his eldest uncle probably didn't know who his second uncle was doing this for.
The eldest uncle probably only thought that it was his brothers who started the rebellion, and he probably didn't know that the second uncle was also working for others.
Sure enough, after hearing this, a slight change flashed across Huo Xiangxi's eyes, which was shock.
I guess I didn't expect him to guess it.
Without waiting for his uncle's answer, he also smiled and said:
"Uncle and the others only thought that you were the ones who acted on your own. You deceived Uncle and the others, used them, and supported others. Do you think Uncle would confess all your deeds if he knew about it?"
Shen Yuan was already very sure that it was just as he guessed.
However, this matter has become increasingly difficult.
No one else in the Huo family knew about it. The only one who knew about it and was in contact with that person was the second uncle.
If the second uncle really died, I'm afraid no one would know the person behind him. Even if the entire Huo family was locked up and tortured, it would be useless.
