The street was crowded with people, and it was not a place for talking. Yang Ji reacted quickly, grabbed the old man, and walked quickly to the Jade Ax Inn.
The Jade Ax Inn is of a very high standard. Non-residents of the inn are not allowed to enter. It is much more convenient to talk here than outside.
The Ghost Alchemist also stopped talking at this time.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he probably knew a little bit. He knew that the matter was related to Yang Ji. It also seemed to involve the famous Ouyang family.
The three of them entered Yang Ji's room, the door was closed, and Yang Ji quickly asked about the matter in detail.
"What happened to your young master?"
Yang Jidao.
"Now he has broken muscles and bones, is seriously injured, and is under house arrest with his wife. There is no one to treat him."
When the old man talked about this, he burst into tears.
"How can it be!"
Yang Ji turned pale with shock and stood up in shock.
It is true that Ouyang Zi was born as a commoner, and he had no status in the family. Otherwise, he would not have gone to Langya County to join a small sect without waiting for him.
But Ouyang Zushi's situation is definitely not the kind of position where he is a slave to others and is not even as good as a servant. At least, it is incomparable to his original situation in the family.
But the old man in front of him actually said that Ouyang Zishi had all his bones broken, was beaten seriously, and was placed under house arrest. This really shocked Yang Ji.
"I did not lie to you."
The old man burst into tears, wiping them with his sleeves while saying, "It's a long story. It all originated from the fight between the ladies, and the young master was just implicated."
From the old man's intermittence, Yang Ji finally got a glimpse of the complicated relationships in the aristocratic family.
Yang Ji originally thought that the conflict between the concubines of the Yang family in Jin'an City was already fierce enough. But compared with the big family, it was nothing.
In a big family like the Ouyang Family, the head of the family has the final say. The Presbyterian Council has less power.
Aristocratic families attach great importance to the reproduction and prosperity of their descendants.
In small places and small families, most of them are monogamous and give birth to about two children. But for big families, this is simply unimaginable.
The most obvious one is that the head of the Ouyang family has 17 wives. The biggest source of conflict in the family is these wives.
Although it is a "war" between women, it is far more sinister and intense than that between men who know martial arts. A look, an action, an ordinary sentence... can all be read deeply or misinterpreted.
Many times, you may accidentally bump into someone without knowing it. And you may think that no one has been offended.
This is how the conflict between Ouyang Zushi's mother and the fifth wife came about.
The reason is very simple. Ouyang Zishi's mother is ranked sixth. After the fifth wife, she is the sixth to welcome the door.
In other words, before Ouyang Zushi's mother came in, who was favored by the fifth lady who had just entered the house? And with the entry of Ouyang Zushi's mother, the favor given to the fifth lady inevitably decreased.
Favoring the new and hating the old, the new generation replaces the old, this is very common in big families, and it can never be avoided. Among the big families, the feelings are the weakest.
No matter it is the Fifth Madam, the Sixth Madam, or any other Madam, she is just a temporary novelty, and no one’s favor can last forever. But the Fifth Madam cannot see through this, and blames the reason for her fall out of favor on her entry into the profession at that time.
Ouyang Zishi’s mother.
It was at this time that the grudges were settled.
Later, the fifth lady gradually gained power, and Ouyang Zishi, mother and son gradually became disadvantaged.
Ouyang Zizhi was suppressed in the clan and was forced to be demoted to Langya County to join the Iron Crown Sect. And his mother was forcibly called Madam Sixteen from the Sixth Lady. She was ranked at the bottom and was ridiculed.
It can be said that the biggest suppression Ouyang Zizhi received from his family came from this fifth lady.
The same thing happened this time.
The seventh young master born by the fifth lady knew that Ouyang Zushi was back and tried every means to provoke him. Ouyang Zushi still couldn't hold back and started fighting with the seventh young master.
As a result, their muscles and bones were broken, and they were seriously injured. They are still lying in the room, unable to move. What is even more hateful is that the fifth lady also sealed off their residence and strictly prohibited any doctor in the family from approaching.
"In other words, you Fifth Madam want to destroy him in this way?"
Yang Ji frowned.
"yes!"
The old man said with an anxious look on his face, "Master Yang, you are the only one who can save him now. Please think of a way."
Yang Ji frowned deeply and remained silent.
This incident was really unexpected. The situation in Ouyang Zizhi's family had become so bad, which Yang Ji had not expected.
A large aristocratic family is a behemoth. It doesn't mean that anyone can enter if they want, or interfere if they want to. In fact, compared with the intricate and complex aristocratic family with huge branches and leaves, the lone warrior is just an ant.
The old man, tired of his travels, came to look for him with wishful thinking, thinking that the matter was too simple.
"Does your family master not care about this matter?"
Yang Ji frowned and said.
"The head of the family has gone to the Imperial Capital, and now the second master is in charge of the family. However, even if the head of the family is here, the young master's situation will not improve in any way. If he loses in a martial arts competition, he will only be considered an incompetent loser.
If the head of the family is here, the young master's situation may be even more worrying."
The old man said.
This remark was so unexpected that even the ghost alchemist looked surprised. This was also the first time he learned about this kind of rule in a big family.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange anymore. The competition among big families is fierce, even fierce. All the goals in the family are to make the family bigger.
Under this premise, the weak can be sacrificed.
Therefore, although the head of the Ouyang family married seventeen wives, he had no affection for any of them. Everything was done to continue the offspring and propagate the family.
It's just that the ladies below had all kinds of entanglements and fights.
"Young master, you have to be careful about this matter. In aristocratic families, there is a fierce struggle between nobles and nobles, the battle between concubines and concubines, and the battle between husband and wife. These are all open secrets. If you intervene rashly, it will be fine if it is solved perfectly, but if it is not solved well, it may
It will cause hostility from another lineage, and eventually lead to suppression from the aristocratic family. You must be cautious!"
The ghost alchemist said seriously.
The Ghost Alchemist knew that it was impossible to persuade Yang Ji not to intervene. He could only tell him to be cautious. The internal relations within the aristocratic family were complicated, and if he did not do it correctly, he would be killed.
Although he sympathized with this loyal old servant, Ghost Alchemist felt that some words still needed to be explained.
The fifth lady was able to put Ouyang Zishi and her son under house arrest, so she still had some power in the family. If she offended them, they would be hunted down by them with the help of the Ouyang family's power, which would be no small matter!
Moreover, can Pinghuan shake a big tree? Even if Yang Ji wanted to intervene, he probably wouldn't be able to.
No matter from any aspect, Ghost Alchemist felt that it was best for Yang Ji to ignore this matter.
"Moreover, even if you want to interfere, how are you going to do it? The affairs of aristocratic families are not so easy to interfere with!"
Ghost Alchemist said.
When the old man heard this, his expression immediately tightened, and he turned to look at Yang Ji, looking at him eagerly. If Yang Ji refused, he really didn't know who to turn to.
Yang Ji was silent, and in an instant, countless thoughts ran through his mind.
"Hey, Ghost Alchemist, this matter may not be as complicated as you think."
Yang Ji suddenly said.
"What's the meaning?"
The ghost alchemist frowned and said with a surprised look on his face. He didn't think Yang Ji would have any good ideas.
"Ha! Ghost Alchemist, I remember asking you to handle those invitations for me and compile a list. There seems to be the Ouyang family on it."
"This! What do you mean..."
The ghost alchemist was shocked, as if he suddenly understood something, and was suddenly shocked.
What Yang Ji was talking about happened a few days ago. At that time, Yang Ji gave him invitations and greeting cards from several aristocratic families, nobles and wealthy families in and outside the Luokang Continent.
Let him select a suitable list from among them as recipients of the third Pure Demon-Conquering Pill. These people must meet the healing scope of the Pure Demon-Conquering Pill.
Those who are too obsessed with obsession will be eliminated. Yang Ji does not have this ability yet.
After such a screening, there will not be many lists left. If we select the most influential among them, we can only select among aristocratic families and nobles.
And among them, the name of the Ouyang family happened to be included.
However, at that time, Yang Ji had not selected the list. And neither Yang Ji nor himself took this matter seriously. Could it be that...
"Oh, don't think about it. Just choose the Ouyang family!"
Yang Ji smiled and said, as if he already knew what the ghost alchemist was thinking.
"This is!"
Although he didn't quite agree, the Ghost Alchemist still nodded.
He already understood Yang Ji's thoughts. If he wanted to intervene in the internal affairs of a large family like the Ouyang family, going as an alchemist would be the best way.
There was a talented third son of the Ouyang family who took an adventure in a different dimension. As a result, he was ambushed by his enemies and was seriously injured. After he came back, he practiced Cha Qi and accidentally became possessed.
The Ouyang family spent more than half a year trying to find people to treat him and find experts to help him heal his qi, but there was no improvement at all.
This matter is very secretive in Taiyuanzhou Mansion. Some people only said that the Third Young Master was away for training. The Ghost Alchemist knew about it because the Ouyang Family asked him for help at that time.
But where did the ghost alchemist come from that kind of ability to treat people who were possessed by crazy people? When I heard about it, I turned around and left.
It was a huge blow for the Ouyang family to lose such a third young master, because this third young master had always shown outstanding talent, and the family had devoted a lot of resources to him and had high hopes for him.
This accident means that the family will lose a backbone in the future.
At the same time, because this third son is the daughter of the three main wives of the Ouyang family, his status is far higher than that of the other wives and concubines, so his influence is also great. (To be continued...)
