"Hush, do you still want your head back? I heard that the emperor is furious because of this matter. Who dares to say anything at this time?"
"Who dares to say anything? Look at everyone talking about this now. Look at how timid you are!"
"Do you think that the destruction of Chang Xiang Mansion is very likely related to the incident twelve years ago?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at that person with horror, "You really dare to say anything."
The man sneered, "They dare to do it, so why are they afraid of what others say? I saw that the gate and the roof of Chang Xiangfu were hung with glaring white cloth, which read,
"There's such a thing? What does it say?"
The man sipped his tea nonchalantly, and then, with the tea, he wrote a word on the table. When the three men at the same table saw that word, their faces turned pale instantly, and they all looked at him in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
The man scowled, "Do you think I'm joking?"
The three of them lowered their heads and took a sip of tea at the same time, then left the teahouse in panic.
The man looked at them fleeing in panic and couldn't help but sneer. Then he casually threw a piece of silver and got up and left.
Ling Yuan glanced at the guard behind her, but the guard didn't even look at her and just stood there with an expressionless face.
Ling Yuan frowned and looked at Annie, "Go and see what's written on it."
Unexpectedly, the guard suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "If the princess has finished drinking, shall we go back to the mansion?"
It sounded like he was asking for her opinion, but there was no politeness in the tone.
Ling Yuan raised her eyes unhappily, "Do you think that if you don't tell me, I won't know? Do you want me to investigate it myself, or do you want you to tell me in person?"
Muhui didn't expect that the princess would be so kind. His face looked a little unhappy, and he was more convinced of the truth that "women are trouble". No wonder his master would kick women away without mercy whenever he saw them coming around.
Seeing her strong desire for knowledge, Mu Hui frowned, didn't even look over there, and actually wrote a word directly on the table.
The moment he saw that word, Ling Yuan's back suddenly stiffened, and he suddenly felt a chill rushing from his feet to his forehead.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised them and looked directly at Mu Hui: "Really?"
Mu Hui glanced at her and nodded slightly: "From the current point of view, it should be correct."
Duh!!!
Twelve years ago, a shocking bloody incident occurred in the country of Siyou. The great general Du Ruhui was brutally murdered on his birthday.
A total of 386 lives of the entire family, plus the current empress and the eldest prince who was six years old at the time, a total of 388 lives, died in the fire.
It is said that on that day, the General's Mansion was besieged by the Imperial Guards.
It is said that on that day, except for the emperor who went to celebrate the birthday, everyone else was stopped outside.
It is said that on that day, in addition to the Du family, all the families related to them were also imprisoned overnight.
Before long, they were all executed on various charges, either alone, with their entire family, or with nine clans.
During that month, the smell of blood in Kyoto was so strong that it was frightening; even the blue sky was bright red.
The Emperor Wei Yuchen of Siyou State, who had only been on the throne for two years at the time, became even more notorious and was known as a tyrant.
It was because the Du family had been loyal for generations, and had a wise queen like Du Yunge who saved lives and healed the wounded, but no one expected that in the end, they would end up collaborating with the enemy and committing treason!
The tragedy of the Du family was no secret. The four countries and even the Dragon Empire had privately discussed this cold-blooded emperor who had just secured his throne but then kicked off the stepping stone.
In the ten years that followed, the overall strength of Siyou Kingdom declined rapidly and its reputation hit rock bottom.
If it weren't for the fact that this cold-blooded emperor still had some ability and held on with gritted teeth, and if it weren't for the sudden burst of fighting power of King Wei Jie in recent years, which turned the tide and reversed the situation of being at the bottom, the future of Siyou Kingdom would be worrying!
As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. Emperors are suspicious by nature, especially those with a criminal record. After experiencing the Du family massacre, Wei Yuchen's suspicion must have become more and more serious.
In the past, it was General Du, but now, isn't it Wei Jie, the younger brother who is nearly twenty-two years younger than Wei Yuchen?
As far as she knew, Wei Yuchen had been "taking care" of Wei Jie, who was about the same age as his son, for many years. The relationship between the two was also on thin ice, and they could only maintain a superficial relationship.
With such a big incident happening, the capital city was under martial law. Ling Yuan didn't sit there for long before Mu Hui forcibly took her back to the palace.
After returning to Taoran Residence, Ling Yuan dismissed her attendants. A man in black suddenly appeared behind Ling Yuan and knelt respectfully, "Miss."
"Qinghun, the extermination of the Zuo Xiangfu is just the beginning. If my prediction is correct, the next big drama will be staged soon."
A puzzled look flashed across Qinghun's indifferent face: "Miss, what do you mean?"
The Du family had been wiped out twelve years ago, and even the side branches and all the people related to them had died out. How could anyone be willing to stand up for them again? Isn't this courting death?
Ling Yuan sneered, "Since the other party has been dormant for twelve years, it is impossible for it to be as simple as destroying the Zuo Xiang Mansion. Do I need to tell you where to investigate next?"
Qinghun lowered his eyes, "I understand."
After Qinghun left, Lingyuan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I didn't expect to come to this Siyou country and gain so much. Who is so bold behind this?"
"Wait, could this be..."
When a person's figure appeared in his mind, Ling Yuan stood up suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became deep and unfathomable.
The next second, a small red snake flew out from the fingertips and landed steadily on the Eight Immortals Table. Ling Yuan picked up the pen and ink, and in the blink of an eye, she stuffed a piece of paper into the snake's mouth. With a light flick, the enchanting red disappeared into the crack of the door.
That night.
A tense atmosphere shrouded the capital. The Imperial Guards were guarding the main streets in an orderly manner. Everyone had a solemn look on their faces and did not utter a word.
In a dark corner at the end of an alley, ten purple shadows suddenly appeared and knelt respectfully towards the red shadow in front of them: "Your subordinates are here to see the young lady."
Hong Ying wore a veiled hat and had a slender figure. Upon hearing this, she turned around nonchalantly and said in a cold voice: "Are you all ready?"
"My lady, everything is ready. The blood sacrifice can begin at any time."
Under the veil, a pair of dark eyes exuded a strong murderous intent. Leng Ning's voice seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night: "At the hour of Yin, the right prime minister Su Dingsheng will be killed!"
As soon as the voice fell, ten purple shadows suddenly rushed into the thick night, but merged into one in the blink of an eye.
Yin time, Right Prime Minister's Mansion
"Who are you? Why, why do you want to kill me? Why?"
Su Dingsheng was covered in blood, and his handsome face was covered with blood stains. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, his heart was bleeding and his body was shaking uncontrollably. When he looked at the purple surroundings, there was deep fear in the depths of his pupils.
These people sneaked into the Prime Minister's residence quietly, dragged all his family members in front of him, and chopped them off one by one, even his youngest children were not spared. Their bloodthirsty and brutal methods were appalling.
"It doesn't matter who we are. What's important is you. Think carefully about it. Have you ever done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth?"
When a voice as pleasant as jade sounded casually, Su Dingsheng slowly raised his head. A man in black with his face covered walked slowly in front of him in the light of the fire, looking down at him, his eyes shining with a terrifying cold light.
"I have been honest and upright all my life, and have never done anything that is against the will of heaven or the law. I wonder what you mean by that?"
Even though he was very scared, he was a Prime Minister who had experienced many storms after all. Even when facing the dead bodies all over the ground, his expression did not flinch at all, and his words did not show any weakness.
"Are you sure?"
The man sneered and glanced at the prime minister who was pinned to the ground and still didn't understand what was going on. The coldness in his eyes became even stronger. "It seems that you have forgotten everything. Tsk tsk, it seems that killing only your closest relatives is a bit of a loss. We should kill your entire family!"
"You, what on earth do you want to do?"
"What? Can't you see? Of course, they are here to claim the lives of those wronged souls! Lord Su, if you can't remember, I don't mind reminding you. For example... twelve years ago in the winter, it seems that in a certain mansion in Kyoto, the same scene happened. Oh no, maybe I should say that the murderer's methods were much more brutal than mine. That family lost a total of 388 lives, and one of them was the current...!"
Next, before he finished speaking, Su Dingsheng had already raised his head abruptly, looking at the man in front of him with fear on his face. Subconsciously, his voice trembled: "You, who are you? How do you know that? How can you know? This is impossible, how is this possible? Their family has clearly been..."
"The whole family was wiped out, right? Even the officials who participated in these things, except for those that the dog emperor particularly trusted, all the others also went to report to the general and even Empress Xiaoren, right?"
“You, you…”
At that time, Su Dingsheng was so frightened that he could not speak. His face turned pale and looked deathly gray. Thinking back to the past, he was shaking like a sieve.
"If I remember correctly, you, Su Dingsheng, were a participant back then, weren't you? Even the evidence that reported the general for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was reported by you, right?"
Facing the speechless words from the man in black, Su Dingsheng felt a chill down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his head boldly and asked, "Who are you to General Du?"
"Huh, who is that? Do you think there will be anyone else like General Du in this world? Doesn't Prime Minister Su know better than anyone what the emperor did back then? Who else does he have? Who else do you think he has? Once anyone gets involved with General Du, at the very least, the whole family will be wiped out, at the worst, all nine generations of the clan will be exterminated. Tsk tsk, why do you think this damn emperor hates people so much, Prime Minister Su?"
Although the man's eyes were smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes. Although the voice was pleasant, it made his hair stand on end. The scene in front of him reminded him of a possibility...
There were dead bodies everywhere in the Su Mansion. Now, except for Su Dingsheng, everyone else was dead.
Besides these men in purple, there was another person who was watching all this coldly.
He was dressed in white, standing behind the stone mountain, spotless, watching everything indifferently.
"Master, I, we are just going to watch?"
The servant beside the man in white didn't expect that their young master would encounter such a massacre just after returning from outside. For a moment, he stood there stupidly and watched the whole incident.
"Now that someone has done what I want to do before me, why not do it?"
The servant's pupils suddenly dilated at his words, and then he looked at his master in disbelief as he leaped towards the direction where the purple-clothed men were most concentrated, which was the direction of Su Dingsheng.
As soon as the leading man in black sensed the breath of the man in white, he swung the sword in his hand towards his forehead.
The man in white did nothing, but after an inadvertent push of his palm, the sword changed direction. Compared with the murderous intent when it came, the returning hilt did not have a trace of murderous intent, but fell steadily into the hands of the man in black.
When the man in purple was about to annihilate them in a group, the man in black raised his hand to stop him. He raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at the man in white who was walking towards him gracefully step by step.
When Su Dingsheng saw the tall man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes walking out from among the purple-clothed men, his already desperate face suddenly became excited and urgent: "Yu'er, you're back, Yu'er, hurry up and save me, hurry up and save daddy!"
The man in black blinked his beautiful phoenix eyes when he heard this, then glanced at Su Yu with a little surprise and raised his eyebrows: "Your father?"
Su Yu didn't even look at Su Dingsheng, but nodded gently to the man in black: "Sorry to bother you."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Fight, excuse me?
Before Su Dingsheng understood what this meant, the man in black had already smiled with interest: "Oh! ~ I guess this must be Prime Minister Su's legitimate son Su Yu who was driven out of the family, right?"
Su Yu nodded openly: "Yes, I am Su Yu."
But he never mentioned the fact that he was Su Jiazi, even though he still had this surname.
"I didn't expect you to come back at the right time!"
Su Yu smiled sarcastically when he heard this: "Isn't this really the right time? If I had known that you would start this now, I would have shown up later."
The man in black looked at Su Yu thoughtfully, as if he was pondering the truth of his words.
Su Dingsheng, however, was furious at Su Yu's words, his eyes red with anxiety: "Su Yu, you rebellious son, what did you just say? I am your father!"
"Dad? You also know that you are my dad? Oh, sorry, I came back to take over the Su family. As for you, or your wife, concubines, and children, what do they have to do with me?"
Su Dingsheng widened his eyes in disbelief. For a moment, he was stunned by Su Yu's shocking words.
Su Yu turned his head indifferently and looked at the man in black: "I will not care what you do with the remaining person, but I must take over the Su family's legitimate lineage!"
The man in black's eyes flickered, and he looked up at him: "Why do you think you can escape today's massacre?"
Su Yuwen's jade-like handsome face flashed a light smile: "I, Su Yu, have the ability to do this. If you don't believe me, let's try it?"
Perhaps to confirm Su Yu's words, the next second, more than ten men in black suddenly appeared behind him and surrounded the man in purple in the circle.
As soon as the two sides met each other, they started a tense confrontation.
The man in black casually glanced at the dozen people behind Su Yu, and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Do you think you can compete with my people with just a dozen of you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of purple shadows jumped out from the darkness.
Facing this situation, Su Yu smiled calmly and said, "It's very simple. Just do what you should do. I won't stop you. But you don't need to ask any questions about what I do."
The man in black was about to say something, but Su Yu suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "My maternal family was also implicated twelve years ago."
It was just such a casual sentence that seemed to suddenly remind someone.
The men in black suddenly understood. They had naturally investigated the situation of the Su family, but they obviously did not expect that the relationship between this elegant and noble young man and Su Dingsheng had become so weak.
It seems that in his eyes, there is only his in-laws, but not this so-called father.
Just as the man in black lowered his eyes to think, Su Dingsheng had already opened his eyes wide with anger, staring at Su Yu, wishing he could strangle him to death: "You, you unfilial son, I am your father, your biological father, how can you watch me die?"
Su Yu sneered and stepped forward, with obvious sarcasm flashing on his handsome face.
"How did you treat my maternal family, my mother and me? Do I need to remind you? Is the Du family really collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country? Is it really unforgivable? Do you really need to exterminate all nine clans? Su Dingsheng, how many innocent people have you killed in the past ten years? Do I need to count them all for you?"
"You, what do you mean?" Su Dingsheng's body trembled involuntarily when he heard the word "Du family".
"What do you mean? Haha, it means karma. Whether you are a minister, a parent official, or even a father, you are not qualified. Don't worry, when you die, everything belonging to the outside family will be legitimately taken over by me, and you deserve to be left with nothing and return to your poverty. This is the cycle of karma. What is not yours will never be yours. No matter how hard you try, it will be useless!!!"
Su Yu's voice was very soft, but every word was like a needle piercing Su Dingsheng's heart. After a few words, his heart was already full of holes, and his brain was blank because of these shocking words.
As Su Yu turned and left, the man in black looked at Su Dingsheng, who was slumped on the ground, with a smile on his face. He raised his sword and the powerful Prime Minister Su was split in half. His wide-open eyes were filled with bloodshot unwillingness until his death.
"Cut in half?" Even though he didn't see it, Su Yu quickly realized the identity of the person in front of him based on the voice and the murderous intent emanating from the surroundings.
The man in black did not give him time to think, and flew up. "I am in a good mood today, so I will do you a favor. The Su family will reluctantly leave it to you. If I need it in the future, I hope Young Master Su will help me!"
Su Yu nodded calmly: "It is convenient for yourself to help others. I will remember this favor."
The man in black left behind a white "Du" death talisman and retreated safely. However, Su Yu said to a certain direction in the darkness: "After watching for so long, is it time to show up?"
After a moment, a tall man in a dark purple brocade robe and a jade crown tied around his hair walked out from the blood mist in the morning.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Su Yu's brows knitted involuntarily: "Your Highness the Phoenix King?"
The arrival of Wei Jie was like a ray of pure light at dawn, which made this gloomy and bloody place suddenly much cleaner. He walked with steady steps, carrying an indescribable aura.
The hidden authority between his brows made Su Yu instantly realize that he might have stayed here long enough.
Only after the man in purple left did he reveal a little bit of his aura. Otherwise, with his level of skill, his presence would be completely undetectable.
Wei Jie casually glanced at the corpses at his feet, and finally set his eyes on Su Dingsheng who was split in half, and remained silent for a long time.
Although Su Yu did not expect to meet Wei Jie here, but thinking about the extermination of the Zuo Xiangfu, it was not surprising that he would appear here.
Su Yu did not feel guilty after being caught, and behaved very calmly, as if the person who died was not his father, but an unrelated person.
"Since Your Highness has arrived early, then everything in the Su Mansion will be handed over to Your Highness. I have other important matters to deal with. Goodbye!"
He came back not to reminisce with these dead bodies. Since someone had cleared the obstacles for him, he naturally had to do what he should do. He had no connection with Wei Jie, so there was no need for him to be servile.
Because of his words, Wei Jie raised his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows: "Su Yu?"
"May I ask what you may advise me, Your Highness?"
He didn't think that Wei Jie would put the blame for the family extermination on him.
In his opinion, Wei Jie's position should be the same as his, or even the man in purple.
"Where is your master?"
Well……
What surprised Su Yu was that his first sentence would be this.
Su Yu frowned slightly and looked at Wei Jie warily: "I wonder what your Highness means? The master is naturally where she should be."
"Let her come to me, otherwise, I won't mind breaking my promise to her!"
"Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean. If there is anything, it would be better for you to contact the young lady in person."
Wei Jie glanced at Su Yu with a cold look, and Su Yu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Come here, count the property of the Right Prime Minister's Office. If there are no survivors, all of them will be confiscated."
Unexpectedly, before the word "gong" was even pronounced, Su Yu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Your Highness, I will personally convey your words to my young lady."
Wei Jie turned around expressionlessly, and several guards wearing black scale armor jumped out from the darkness and began to count in an orderly manner.
"Young Master, what do you think of this?" When the people around Su Yu saw this situation, they immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Let's go. We must get the key today." Su Yu looked at Wei Jie's back deeply, turned around and flew towards Su Dingsheng's courtyard.
After they left, Mu Tian appeared quietly and questioned Wei Jie with his eyes. Wei Jie glanced at him calmly: "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, you don't intend to stop it?"
“Why stop it?”
“…….”
Qing Chen slapped him on the back of his head: "Idiot, the people in the Su Mansion are not all dead yet. With Su Yu still around, what right does the emperor have to take Su Dingsheng's property?"
In their opinion, they would rather let Su Yu take away these properties than allow them to fall into Wei Yuchen's hands.
Half an hour later, the news of the destruction of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion reached Wei Yuchen's ears. When he realized that all this was not a dream but reality, the emperor who had spent twelve years to bring Siyou Kingdom back to its heyday, finally couldn't bear the pressure of losing his left and right arms at the same time, and vomited blood and fainted.
