Volume 1, Chapter 127: Confusing, How Many People Are at Ease About Royal Affairs

Ye Tingmu's thick eyebrows were furrowed even tighter at this moment.

I entered the city yesterday, and Lin Xu died last night.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Or was it Lin An in front of him who deceived him?

But looking at him, it doesn't look like that.

At this moment, he felt a little confused.

But he still comforted her: "Mr. Lin, please accept my condolences."

Lin An shook his head with a hint of self-mockery on his lips.

"My father's death is not surprising. In my opinion, it was a matter of time. It was just a matter of dying sooner or later."

Even though he was just a small general, he was deeply trusted by the emperor, but he was involved in the royal disputes and the battle for power.

Death was inevitable, but it just so happened that Ye Tingmu and others entered Beimang yesterday, and Feng He showed up.

So the other party just killed him in advance to silence him.

If Ye Tingmu and the others had not come, perhaps he could have lived longer, but he would still die in the end.

What he is worried about now is whether he will be silenced like his father.

Or if the matter is exposed, the emperor will execute all nine of them.

Even if Ye Tingmu didn't come to find him today, he would go to find him. It's that simple.

Now he has only one way to survive, tell Ye Tingmu the truth and let him fight him, then he will have a chance to survive.

Ye Tingmu naturally understood what he meant. His father was involved in such a thing, and he would die sooner or later.

If Feng He existed, and the matter of Yejia Village was known to the Emperor of Jiuzhou, he would still be dead, and even his entire clan would be in danger.

In his opinion, the current emperor certainly did not want to kill Feng He, and was probably forced to send him to this land of northern barbarians, and even to the more remote place of Yejia Village.

It was all for the purpose of protecting Feng He, but he didn't expect that Lin Xu would betray him.

That’s why Yejia Village was massacred.

Now that the Lin family is still alive and well, it can only mean that the old emperor probably doesn’t know about this yet.

To be able to do this in such a secretive manner, the person behind this must have planted considerable power in Beimang.

Lin Xu in front of him must know something about it.

He then asked, "Mr. Lin, you must know who did it."

In response to Ye Tingmu's questioning, Lin An did not hide anything.

"I know, but I can't do anything about it. I, a mere scholar like Lin, can't avenge this vengeance."

Ye Tingmu tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

Boom...

Dong.....

The sound echoed in this dim space.

"Since you know so much, I'm sure you also know about the massacre of Yejia Village in Lin County."

Lin An nodded and did not hide anything.

"Know."

"If my guess is correct, then the person who killed your father is the same person who massacred Yejia Village, right? Your father revealed the Fourth Prince's affairs back then, and now Feng He has appeared, so the other party killed him to silence him?"

This is the only explanation.

It is also the only possibility.

Lin An nodded, with a helpless look on his face.

"What Mr. Ye just said is exactly what Lin is thinking."

Ye Tingmu sighed lightly, stood up and paced back and forth.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but your father's death was not unjust as you said. If it weren't for him, more than 600 people from 100 households in Yejia Village would not have died?"

If Ye Tingmu had not come from the modern era and received nine years of compulsory education, he would not have understood the intricacies of right and wrong.

Knowing that it was the father's fault and not the son's, he would probably have drawn his sword and killed him.

Ultimately, these five years of hardship were caused by his father.

Lin An stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Lin knows that my father is guilty. Mr. Ye is doing a great favor by not killing me now, but..." He stopped here.

Look up at Ye Tingmu.

"Even if my father is a thousand wrongdoers, as a son, I must avenge him for killing me."

Ye Tingmu's expression was solemn, but there was a strange flash in his eyes.

Although he hated Lin Xu after knowing everything, he admired Lin An.

First, he was willing to tell the truth, even though it was mixed with selfish motives.

Second, the word "filial piety" does not distinguish between good and evil.

Moreover, this person is extremely meticulous and has completely controlled me.

Not only was he sure that he would not kill him, he also knew that they had a common enemy.

He can't deal with the other party, but he has a chance?

That's why we are seeing this scene now.

But Ye Tingmu just wanted to say that you seemed to think too highly of me. Even if I knew the person behind this, I would not dare to do anything for the time being.

The little Deputy City Lord Shangyun can attract extraordinary strong men. For this person of the royal family, reaching the eighth level of sainthood should be a basic operation.

Ye Tingmu sat down again.

Look up at him.

"Then tell me, who is this northern gangster hiding?"

It doesn't matter. Since you are willing to say it, I will listen. Anyway, sooner or later, I will be able to dominate the world.

By then, we will know who the sword is pointing at, and there will be no need to investigate further.

Lin An looked solemn.

"The Northern Rogue King, Situ Feng."

"Uh..." Ye Tingmu felt a little numb.

It’s not because of anything else.

Instead, he had always suspected that the Northern Maniac King was the man behind the kidnapping of Dongfang Qingzhu and the blood sacrifice at the Black Water Pond.

After all, the entire city of Ye was in mutiniation. Who has the ability to do such a thing? No one would believe that it was done by the mayor of Ye alone.

He also kidnapped Dongfang Qingzhu.

There aren't many people like him in the Northern Gangs.

The blood sacrifice was simply an attempt to control the beast tide in the wilderness.

Why control the beast tide? Rebellion.

Then who among these northern thugs would think of rebelling?

That must be the Northern Gangster King Situ Feng.

It's human nature to think this way.

Therefore, among those who massacred Yejia Village, Ye Tingmu first excluded the King of Northern Maniacs.

Everyone is thinking about rebellion, so why should they kill you, the fourth prince? Shouldn't they let you live and then let you seize the throne? The more chaos there is in Jiuzhou, the better.

But now what Lin An said made him a little confused.

This means that all my previous clever inferences were useless.

Everything is overturned.

He asked in surprise, "Why is it this Northern Rogue King, Situ Feng?"

Lin An knelt down, placed his hands on the table, and said excitedly: "Because the current Beimang King is the grandfather of the Third Prince, and the appearance of the Fourth Prince threatens his grandson's throne. If it were Mr. Ye, would you kill him?"

hiss......

Ye Tingmu took a breath of cold air.

Wow, this damn Northern Maniac King is actually the third prince’s grandfather. This really surprised him.

So what happened before has nothing to do with this Northern Rogue King?

It’s hard to say.

But if that’s the case, the incident in Yejia Village must be related to him.

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

There was a hint of helplessness on the corner of his mouth.

That's a saint.

He is the king of the northern gangsters again. What can I use to fight him?

But it all makes sense.

That is, the Third Prince met Feng He yesterday and told King Beimang, so King Beimang killed Lin Xu to silence him.

Relatively speaking, they are also being targeted.

Lin An in front of him was afraid of his own death and also wanted to avenge his father, so he told him everything.

But what do you want me to do?

Do you want to fight?

What a fuss...

Run?

Can you outrun a saint like him?

He held his forehead with his hand, a helpless smile on his face, and sighed, "Oh...it's difficult."
