Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Although Xue Yang escaped again and it was revealed that Jin Guangshan was supporting him, Jiang Wanyin simply set up a trap to expose Xue Yang's identity as the descendant of Xue Chonghai. Moreover, Jiang Wanyin did find that Xue Yang was trying to restore the Yin Tiger Talisman, so Jiang Wanyin took one more step and completely pinned the blame on Xue Yang for Wen Ning's loss of control and killing Jin Zixuan.

As a result, the Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian suddenly became a pitiful man who was falsely accused of death by hundreds of immortal sects. Except that some people still hated him for killing many people when he resisted in Qiongqi Dao, at least the stigma of killing Jin Zixuan was washed away.

Jiang Cheng immediately passed the good news to Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing who were far away in Lingnan. Not knowing it, they were so happy that they cried. The rest of the Wen family members seemed to have a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. They were less reserved when facing Wei Wuxian and became more relaxed. Even little A Yuan saw the looks on the adults' faces and begged Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing to take some time off from their studies.

Jin Guangshan, who had lost face and damaged his reputation and interests at Jinlingtai, could only be helpless and furious, because his most capable assistant, Sect Master Qin, had fallen out with him because he secretly kept Xue Yang in an attempt to restore the Yin Tiger Talisman.

Jin Guangshan only felt that there was a big net quietly covering his head, and he was even almost caught in the net without feeling anything beforehand. He thought about it and commented on the other three major families, and even carefully investigated his wife Mrs. Jin and daughter-in-law Jiang Yanli. However, not only did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not show any signs of taking action against him, even the Qin Sect Master of the Jin Family, who had just announced his separation and was the focus of his attention, had never done anything bad to him.

So the only person worthy of suspicion is Jin Guangyao.

And Jin Guangyao was actually not wronged. As soon as Jin Guangshan took action, he found that many of his subordinates had already surrendered to the second master, and this second master was him, Jin Guangyao. So he simply poisoned himself and pushed the matter onto Jin Guangyao. No matter how Jin Guangyao defended himself, he first dragged him away and beat him with a hundred whips, and then announced in public that Jin Guangyao's name would be erased and that Jin Guangyao was not allowed to use the surname Jin. What he said became more and more realistic, and even Jin Guangyao's biological mother Meng Shi scolded him.

Jin Guangyao did not react at first. He just thought that it was Jin Guangshan's group of illegitimate sons who had not had time to change their surnames who secretly set up a trap to harm him. But after Jin Guangyao cursed even his biological mother with the most vicious words, he knew that this trap was not set up by those illegitimate sons who were forcibly raised by Jin Guangshan, but by Jin Guangshan himself!

Even though Jin Guangyao had long been disappointed with Jin Guangshan, he was still willing to use his own body to suppress him. While Jin Guangyao was sad and angry, he also clearly realized that Jin Guangshan's prestige and power were weakening, otherwise why would he use himself to set up a trap?

Jin Guangyao was beaten with a hundred whips and driven out of Jinling Terrace. Jin Guangshan even said that not taking Meng Yao's life was the last kindness of his biological father.

Many people did not believe what happened on the Jinling Terrace that day. However, apart from the fact that Jin Guangshan handled the matter too smoothly, there was really nothing to criticize. Therefore, even Lan Huan, who still believed that Meng Yao was innocent, could only secretly take Meng Yao to the Cloud Recesses to recuperate.

Nie Mingjue, who also watched the whole scene, did not believe that Meng Yao would poison Jin Guangshan, but he remembered that when Meng Yao was still working for the Nie family, he deliberately let him see the deputy envoy bullying him. Although he also pleaded for Meng Yao, he was still suspicious of Meng Yao's character. Otherwise, after dealing with the deputy envoy, he would not have simply taken the Nie family's letter and sent Meng Yao to Jinlingtai to recognize his ancestors.

Seeing that Lan Huan trusted Meng Yao too much, Nie Mingjue reminded him of their sworn brotherhood: "It's not easy to clear the bad name on Third Brother now. The people involved are all in Jinlingtai, and it's not as easy as hunting down Xue Yang."

Lan Huan naturally understood the reason. As a member of the Lan family, he always acted as if he was isolated from the world. In fact, there were some arrangements in the major families. This was a tacit understanding between the families. Of course, a top family like the Gusu Lan family could only tolerate the other three top families to have such arrangements in their own family. Others were absolutely not allowed to infringe on it.

Lan Huan smiled bitterly, and finally gave up the idea of ​​using the people the Lan family had planted in Jinlingtai.

After Nie Mingjue returned, he did not expect to hear from his brother Nie Huaisang, who had always accomplished nothing, that Jin Guangshan’s poisoning was most likely staged by Jin Guangshan himself.

Nie Mingjue's eyes flickered, and he really felt that he would have to treat his brother differently from now on. "Why do you have to speculate about Sect Master Jin like this? Couldn't it be that Sect Master Jin's illegitimate children were the cause of this trouble?"

Nie Huaisang was somewhat flattered by his brother's rare gentle tone, and immediately said excitedly: "Those who were brought to Jinlingtai have been here for so long, not to mention being included in the Jin family tree, even their surnames haven't been changed. Jin...well, Brother Meng at least had the surname Jin in the past, and he made many contributions to the Jin family. Those people together are no match for Brother Meng alone."

As he spoke, Nie Huaisang carefully looked at his eldest brother's face. Seeing that he didn't have any special reaction, although he was a little disappointed, he at least had a little more confidence in his next words.

"Brother Meng has always been a very smart person. Even during the years he worked for our Nie Company, few people had any complaints about him. He can even call out the names of his former colleagues and remember their preferences and habits."

"So, given Brother Meng's thoroughness, even if he really couldn't stand Jin Guangshan, he would definitely use a more meticulous method that no one could refute, rather than using such a crude method."

"It just so happens that the only person who can do that kind of thing in Jinlingtai is Brother Meng and Sect Master Jin himself."

Nie Huaisang's analysis was very pertinent, and Nie Mingjue didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just stood up, patted Nie Huaisang's shoulder, and said, "Second brother, since you have some talent, you should take on more responsibilities in the future."

Thus, Nie Huaisang bid farewell to his leisurely days of playing with cats and dogs, and began to bear the entire Nie family's internal affairs on his weak shoulders.

After sending Meng Yao away, Jin Guangshan tested his grandson Jin Ling once, and then sent all the illegitimate children away without hesitation. He also instructed Mrs. Jin to strengthen the protection of Jin Ling.

He was even worried that Jiang Yanli would hold a grudge against him for secretly protecting Xue Yang and trying to restore the Yin Tiger Talisman, which had harmed Jin Zixuan. He forcefully took Jin Ling away from Jiang Yanli and gave him to Madam Jin to raise. Jiang Yanli was placed under house arrest in Jinling Terrace for almost a month before Jin Guangshan sent her back to Yunmeng Lotus Pier on the pretext of recuperating from an illness.

Of course, Jin Guangshan did not dare to announce to the outside world that Jiang Yanli had returned to Lianhuawu. Instead, he sent people to pretend to go south to Hangzhou, not far from Gusu.
