"Back then, I had just taken up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Although my family was behind this factor, I was still very sincere and wanted to do something big and reorganize the laws of Dahan State. However, the affairs of the Yi family made it impossible for me to do anything anymore. Realize your ideals.”
Tang Xiang recalled what happened back then, and he felt regretful thinking about it now, "Master Li, although I don't know why you are interested in a family in the Dahan Kingdom, I regret to tell you that in fact, the fire in the Ministry of Punishment is not the same. I don’t know much, but..."
"Mr. Tang, why do you need to be so secretive? My time is precious, so let's get straight to the point."
Ling Li said lightly, but his thoughts were raised like Su Li and Ling Qinglan. They both knew that what they were going to say next was the highlight.
"The case of the Yi family's extermination is indeed full of doubts."
Tang Xiang did not say any more nonsense and said directly:
"Everyone in the Yi family was killed in one blow! And the circumstances of death were not consistent. The murderer was not a single person, but more like a disciplined organization. Speaking of which, I am not afraid of being blamed by the leader. Back then, I immediately thought that you were responsible for this matter. of!"
As he spoke, Tang Xiang watched Ling Li's movements and reactions closely, but saw no clues.
Ling Li let out a chuckle, which was quite harsh in Tang Xiang's ears, "Although I am not a bad person, the Yi family has never had anything to do with our religion before, so why should I go and kill all the people in my family after being full? ?”
Ling Li's tone was full of disdain, but he spoke the truth and could not lie. Although Tang Xiang was older, he still had this ability to distinguish.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Actually, I and General Yi Qing were old friends back then!"
Ling Qinglan's breathing stagnated when she heard this, and she clenched her fists subconsciously.
In fourteen years, this was the first time he heard his grandfather's name from someone else.
"Back then, General Yi Qing was General Ling's most valued and capable general. He was indeed extremely smart and his brain worked very quickly. General Ling would also seek his opinion on all decisions in the military camp. It can be said that, Although Yi Qing is only a deputy general, he plays an extremely important role as a military advisor in the military camp."
Ling Li also became serious. He had very little information in his mind about his grandfather and father, and had no idea what was going on in the military camp back then.
Before he was assassinated, he had not truly regarded himself as a member of the Ling family, so he was acting out while concentrating on training, and all he could think about was how to return to Earth.
Now, as he continues to explore and understand this world, he has long given up the idea of returning to the earth. If we talk about it from the scientific perspective on the earth, this place may not be the same plane as the earth. No matter how much he practices, he will never be able to return to the earth. The ability to break the plane and go back.
His thoughts were distracted, Ling Li calmed down, and saw Tang Xiang continue to say: "I once had an encounter with Yi Qing, and later we became confidants who talked about everything. Of course, given my status in the Tang family at that time, I absolutely could not. He is related to people from the Ling family faction, so in order to protect himself, the relationship between me and him has always been hidden underground."
At this point, Tang Xiang's expression became extremely complicated, "It is precisely because of this that I can survive to this day."
Ling Li was touched in his heart, his eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly spoke in a cold tone, "Is the destruction of the Yi family really inseparable from the Ling family?"
Tang Xiang was slightly startled, then nodded and shook his head: "It seems that the teaching
The master is a sensible person, but I am just guessing. After all, the death of a male member of the Ling family was too strange! "
"Ever since the Yi family was wiped out, the Ling family has been in danger many times. In the next six years, from General Ling to the eldest son of Ling, they died one after another, and finally stopped at the second son of the Ling family. I am also surprised. If the power of the Ling family is really to be reduced, Why not get rid of Ling Ping as well and leave a useless Third Young Master? Naturally, the Ling family will not be able to cause trouble."
"Ginger is still old and hot. Mr. Tang really has a keen eye and can see clearly."
Although there were compliments in Ling Li's words, Tang Xiang could not hear any emotion of praise, as if there were only ice in his words without any personal feelings mixed in.
He couldn't help but feel a slight shiver in his heart, and his mind started to spin. Everyone would have emotions when they spoke. The Lijiao leader's slow disdain for arrogance in his words before certainly counted. Now that he suddenly had no emotions, he was naturally suppressing something.
But even if he noticed the anomaly, he still couldn't guess the relationship between the leader of the Hidden Demon Sect and the Ling family based on this clue alone.
"The leader is really ridiculous."
Tang Xiang did not dare to take credit. He understood that Ling Li was not really praising him, so he immediately continued knowingly, "One day not long before the Yi family was destroyed, I met Yi Qing for a drink in private. At that time, I noticed something between his eyebrows. Worry, and something was wrong with him. I asked him again and again, but he kept silent. Finally, I didn’t know if he had drunk too much, but he suddenly told me... He discovered a big secret! "
Ling Li raised his eyebrows, "What secret?"
"I also asked the same question at the time, but he soon came to his senses and seemed to regret letting it slip. Then he kept silent and only said that he would tell the details after the matter was completed. Later, the Yi family was wiped out."
Tang Xiang was full of remorse. He still remembered that Yi Qing's face was extremely shaken. If he had persisted a little longer, he might have known what the secret was. Unfortunately, Yi Qing was dead and no one would ever know the secret.
"After talking for a long time, is Mr. Tang trying to say that he only knows this little information?"
Ling Qinglan's slightly cold voice came out. He was full of expectations, but Tang Xiang heard this for him. In addition to the disappointment in his heart, he was also mixed with a lot of anger at being teased by Tang Xiang.
"Lord Qinghu, calm down!"
Tang Xiang was well aware of the current situation and fell down from his chair without dignity and knelt on the ground, "Later! The key point is after the Yi family is wiped out!"
"Okay, Qinghu, don't scare the old man. If something goes wrong, who can I ask for help?"
Ling Li waved his hand, apparently as a reprimand, but in fact, he was telling Ling Qinglan to be calmer at this time.
Ling Qinglan took a deep breath, relaxed and stopped making any sound.
"Okay, let's continue talking."
Ling Li said nonchalantly, holding Su Li's right hand in his palm with both hands and stroking it gently, as if his attention was not on the information at all.
Tang Xiang did not dare to neglect, and immediately started to talk about the key points: "At that time, when I saw a lot of firewood and kerosene placed around Yi's house, I knew that the murderers definitely wanted to set fire to the corpses, so I immediately decided to transport all the corpses back overnight. The Ministry of Punishment, and personally inspect Yi Qing’s body!”
There was a faint light in Su Li's eyes. His only close friend died in front of him. It was hard to imagine how Tang Xiang could calm down and make decisions quickly at that time.
Although now this old gentleman has given up in order to save his family
Her own dignity was somewhat despicable, but it did not prevent her from admiring this person.
"Yiqing was disfigured after his death. It's hard to tell from his expression. His lips and teeth were damaged, and his fingers were broken. His death was very painful!"
Tang Xiang's voice changed a bit, as if he was recalling the tragedy of that year.
"Someone tortured him, trying to find out something. If nothing else, he was killed because of that secret! I wanted to go to the original site of the Yi family to investigate, but suddenly there was a fire in the Ministry of Punishment, and I was also killed. He was attacked from behind and knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he was already in his own home."
"All the corpses in the Yi family were burnt to charcoal. It was impossible to tell who was who. Even the warehouse where the case files were stored was reduced by half. Countless doctors from the Criminal Department also died!"
Tang Xiang lowered his head in pain, "Such a big accident has never happened since the founding of Dahan. When I received the news, all I could think about was that it was over. I couldn't bear such a big crime. It might affect the entire Tang Dynasty." Go to hell! Then, the next day, I received a secret summons from the palace!"
Su Li's eyes moved. Fourteen years ago, the emperor of Dahan Kingdom was still Dongfang Xiao.
"At that time, Dongfang Xiaocai had just put down the civil strife in the palace for less than two years, and his behavior was very radical. I entered the palace with the idea of losing my head, but what I saw was a monarch with a kind smile on his face."
Recalling the meeting with the Holy Spirit, Tang Xiang still shuddered, "He promised me that as long as I keep the matter of the Yi family in my mind forever, the fire in the Ministry of Punishment will not be pursued, and all traces of me in the Ministry of Punishment will be wiped out." Go and give me a bright career!"
"So you agreed?"
Ling Qinglan's voice was cold, even filled with murderous intent.
Although in that situation, a person would agree to save his life, but he is a member of the Yi family and has a different stance. It is destined that he will not consider Tang Xiang's feelings.
Surprisingly, Tang Xiang shook his head.
"Yiqing is my only close friend in my life. Although my life was at stake, I... still hesitated at that time."
Tang Xiang looked calm. Everything he said at this moment was true, and he naturally had a clear conscience. "My hesitation was not a good thing in Dongfang Xiao's eyes. He quickly issued an order, an... inhumane order."
Prime Minister Tang's voice became harsh, "He arrested all the people from the Tang family who serve in the Ministry of Punishment. Every time I hesitate for a quarter of an hour, one of them will be beheaded!"
Ling Qinglan was finally moved after hearing this. She restrained her previous murderous intention and felt a hint of guilt. If Tang Xiang had really struggled for the Yi family, he would be kind to the Yi family, but he actually wanted to kill Tang Xiang just now...
"Dongfang Xiao didn't give me much time. He said a quarter of an hour, but the eunuch immediately arrested one person and beheaded him!" Tang Xiang looked ferocious, "I almost rushed up to fight him, but the eunuch arrested Lei'er and pressed On the guillotine!”
Ling Li narrowed his eyes slightly, Tang Lei was the same age as him, which meant that Tang Lei was just a two-year-old baby at that time.
"That stupid boy is almost dead, but he can still laugh when he looks at the eunuch who is holding him!"
Tang Xiang cursed, but his voice couldn't stop trembling, and he shouted like crazy:
"He is my first grandson! I can't wait to hold him in my hands. How can I bear to have him go back underground as soon as he comes to this world?!"
"So... I gave in."
