Chapter 1249: Revenge (2)
"Who is this person?" Little Treasure and Little Bear asked in unison.
"A traitor from the previous dynasty, Qin Fang." Fei Bai immediately thought of the reason why the bandits wanted to take revenge, and could not help but feel rage. "Qin Fang, this traitor, is a person whom anyone has the right to punish. How can they still have the cheek to take revenge? Besides, he wasn’t killed by King Rong. He was poisoned to death by the Second Prince of the previous dynasty!"
Little Treasure and Little Bear were amazed that someone would want to avenge such a wicked person. They discussed softly, "Could it be that he’s not a traitor and was actually wronged?"
Although the two children had heard about how wicked Minister Qin of the previous dynasty was since they were young, they were only one or two years old when Qin Fang died. They had not experienced that era and did not feel that kind of grief and indignation.
Fei Bai, on the other hand, loathed Qin Fang deeply. When he heard this, he said, "Could it be that all the people in the world have wronged him? Not to mention anything else, isn’t this tunnel filled with gold, silver, and treasures stolen from the people? Unlike the descendants of other aristocratic families, he came from a humble class." Fei Bai sneered and said, "If Your Highnesses suspect that he was wronged, why don’t you think about how magnificent King Rong’s Residence is? The current King’s Residence can’t even compare to a third of Minister Qin’s Residence. Back then, when Great Zhou retreated, part of Minister Qin’s Residence was damaged. When they looked for the silver that Qin Fang had stolen from the national treasury, further damage was done to the residence. King Rong and Queen Consort Rong were frugal. Back then, His Majesty didn’t have any money in the inner treasury or the national treasury, so only minor repairs were done. But even so, King Rong’s Residence was only inferior to the palace. From this, it can be seen how opulent Minister Qin’s Residence was back then."
Little Treasure and Little Bear didn’t expect Fei Bai to be so agitated. They hurriedly said, "Got it. We’re just curious. Since he’s so wicked, why are there so many people who are so persistent in avenging him?"
"They’re just sacrificial soldiers raised by him. What’s so strange about that?" Fei Bai’s expression was solemn. "Considering Qin Fang has been dead for 13 years and they still haven’t made a move, it’s obvious that they’re not exactly keen to avenge him. I think they’re just using revenge as an excuse to occupy these gold, silver, and treasures."
Little Treasure and Little Bear looked at each other, doubtful. From the anger of the bandits just now, they were sincerely loyal towards Qin Fang. However, seeing that Fei Bai felt such deep hatred for Qin Fang, the two of them did not provoke him anymore.
