Chapter 265 The So-called Merit



It turned out that decades ago, the Yun family and the Nangong family were both old-established families in the capital, with profound heritage and abundant wealth.

The Yun family, patriotic, decided to donate all their wealth to support the war. Seeing the Yun family taking action, the Nangong family felt it was difficult not to donate at all, so they discussed a joint trip to the front lines to donate.

But what the Yun family didn't know was that this was just a conspiracy of the Nangong family, a conspiracy to destroy the entire Yun family.

On their way to donate the supplies, they not only killed the head of the Yun family, but also took the supplies for themselves.

At the same time, the Nangong family in the capital also launched an attack on the Yun family. Because the main force of the Yun family went to deliver supplies, the Nangong family quickly succeeded.

Except for Yun Ye who was sent out by the servants, all the others were killed.

Of course, the Nangong family did not do it themselves, but hired people from the underworld.

Later, the Nangong family donated one-fifth of the Yun family's property and took the rest for themselves. This is how they got the so-called merit, but in fact it was just a gift from a poor family.

The real contribution came from the Yun family, but unfortunately, except for the young Yun Ye, all the other members of the Yun family died.

After hearing Nangong Bo's words, Yun Bei's eyes turned red. She seemed to see the scene of the Yun family being wiped out and saw how rampant the Nangong family was.

"You are a remnant of the Yun family, right?" Nangong Bo looked at Yun Bei with a vicious expression and said, "I didn't expect that there are still people in the Yun family alive. I should have killed you earlier."

"Nangong Bo, God is watching what you do. You and the Nangong family will be punished sooner or later."

"Retribution?" Nangong Bo said with a look of sarcasm, "That's just an excuse for the weak to comfort themselves. If there was retribution, how could my Nangong family have the social status we have today? How could my Nangong family members hold high positions?"

"Really? There was no retribution before because I didn't show up. Now that I'm here, your Nangong family's good days are over."

"What a joke, you? How shameless of you to say that."

It’s not that Nangong Bo looked down on Yunbei, but he had never seen anyone who could destroy a family by himself.

Not to mention the Nangong family's wealth and talent, Yunbei couldn't be defeated. Not to mention, they also had a backer and the help of a mysterious person in the dark.

"Just me!" Yun Bei knew Nangong Bo didn't believe her. It didn't matter, she would prove it to him.

I just hope that by then Nangong Bo can still be as proud and arrogant as he is now.

"Yunbei, even if you're joking, you have to be reasonable. Otherwise, people will look down on you."

"Let's wait and see."

After Yunbei finished speaking, she didn't waste any more time talking to Nangong Bo, but made him look like a fool again. Then, she looked at the ward and found that there was still no one there, so she quickly got Nangong Bo out.

Afterwards, she dragged Si Nanzhao out of the ward in a grand manner. When they left, they met people from the Nangong family.

The people from the Nangong family were startled when they saw the two of them and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

"We are friends of Patriarch Nangong. We heard that he was ill, so we came to see him."

After hearing Yunbei's words, the Nangong family didn't think much of it. And when he took a look at the ward and saw that there was indeed some fruit inside, he had no doubts.

Seeing the other party's actions, Yunbei raised his eyebrows towards Si Nanzhao with pride. Thanks to her cleverness, she bought some fruit when she came here before, otherwise she would have been exposed.

Si Nanzhao smiled, squeezed her hand, and pulled her out of the hospital.

"Wife, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"

After returning home, Si Nanzhao looked at Yunbei's tired face and felt a little distressed.

"Okay, let's rest for a while." Yunbei nodded, not trying to be brave. They were indeed tired today. First they went to find the Nangong family's treasure house, then they were questioned by Qin Hua and the others when they came back, and then they went to the hospital.

They have been so busy that they haven't even had a sip of water.

Thinking of this, Yunbei directly entered the space, poured out two glasses of water, and then asked Si Nanzhao: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"A little bit." Si Nanzhao touched his stomach. He was indeed hungry. However, he had encountered this situation before when he was on a mission, so he was used to it.

"Then let's make some instant noodles first." Yun Bei said, and entered the space again, taking out two bowls of instant noodles and started making them.

After eating the noodles, their stomachs finally felt a little better.

Yunbei had almost finished resting by now, so he looked at Si Nanzhao and asked, "Do you know who is the backer of the Di Nangong family?"

"I know, what's wrong?" Si Nanzhao looked at Yunbei with a puzzled look on his face. He thought, is she planning to attack the Nangong family's patrons directly?

This won't work. That person holds a high position and his residence is heavily guarded. It's not easy to get in.

And once discovered, they will be labeled as enemy spies.

"Nothing, just asking." Yun Bei smiled. She was not stupid and naturally would not rashly break into that person's house.

She just wanted to know who the other party was and see if she could gather some information. Of course, she still placed more hope on the Nangong family.

She felt that an old fox like Nangong Bo would definitely hold back.

Thinking of this, Yunbei thought of the box that had never been opened. Maybe there was a surprise inside.

"Let's go into the space and take a closer look at what we got from the Nangong family. We might find something unexpected."

"I'll listen to you." Si Nanzhao nodded and followed Yunbei into the space.

If he remembered correctly, the big black box that Yun Bei opened in the Nangong family's treasure house contained not only a genealogy of the Yun family, but also some other things.

But at that time, they were too shocked and focused all their attention on the family tree, so they didn't care.

Now, I have time to go and see what is inside.

After entering the space, the two headed straight for the place where the treasures were stored. Fortunately, Yunbei's space was large and there were many rooms inside. Otherwise, these things would have to be stored in the open air.

After entering the house, Yunbei and Sinanzhao went straight to the big black box.

When they opened it again, they saw that in addition to the Yun family's genealogy, there was also the Nangong family's personnel roster and some account books.

Yunbei ignored the roster for the time being and picked up the account book first.

Coincidentally, she took the top one, which was also the record of the Nangong family's bribery to the higher-ups in recent years.

Looking at the huge expenditures, Yunbei couldn't help but sigh. The Nangong family's patrons had really big appetites. The money they collected this year was almost catching up with what others would earn in their entire lives.

Of course, this was not what surprised Yun Bei. What surprised her was that the Nangong family actually helped the patron to eliminate dissidents and eliminated many competitors using shameful means.

Some died, some were demoted. In order to prevent those people from making a comeback, Nangong Bo even had their hands and feet destroyed.
