"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..."

“灭了满门，是吗？就连当年参与这些事的官员，除了那个狗皇帝特别信赖的，其他的，也都全部去找大将军乃至孝仁皇后报道了，是不是？”

“你，你……。”

彼时的苏鼎盛已经被吓得说不出话来，他脸色发白，面如死灰色，回想当年，更是身抖如筛。

“如果小爷我没记错的话，你苏鼎盛就是当年的参与者，不是吗？就连事后，举报大将军通敌卖国的证据，貌似，也是你呈报上去的吧？”

面对黑衣人一条又一条令他无言以对的话，苏鼎盛后脊背发凉，浑身冷汗直冒，他大着胆子抬起头：“你，你是杜将军的什么人？”

“嗬，什么人？你觉得这个世界上还会有杜将军的什么人出现吗？皇上当年做了什么，苏相爷不是比谁都要清楚吗？他还有什么人？你觉得他还有什么人？谁一旦和杜将军沾染上，小则全家被灭口，大则别灭九族，啧啧，你说这狗皇帝到底为什么这么恨人家呢，苏相爷？”

那人的眼睛虽然带着笑，但那笑意却未达眼底，声音虽然好听，却令他浑身汗毛直竖，眼前的场景，让他联想到了一个可能……

苏府之内，遍地死尸，如今除了苏鼎盛一个人之外，竟然已经死绝。

冷眼瞧着这一切的，除了这些紫衣人之外，却还有另外一个人。

他一袭白衣，不染纤尘的立在石山之后，漠然的注视这一切。

“少爷，我，我们就这样看着？”

白衣男子身边的小厮没想到他们家少爷刚从外面回来就遇到这样的大屠杀，一时之间竟傻傻的站在这里，观看了整个事件的始末。

“如今既然有人先我一步做了我想做的，何乐而不为？”

小厮因他这句话，瞳孔猛然间放大，而后不可思议的看着自家主子就这么堂而皇之的，朝着紫衣人最最密集，也就是苏鼎盛的方向跃了过去。

为首的黑衣人几乎是在感应到白衣男子的气息之后，手中的长剑就朝着他的脑门冲击过去。

也没见白衣人怎么做，只是手掌不经意间的推动之后，长剑便已调转方向，比起来时的杀机重重，回归的剑柄竟然没有一丝的杀意，反而稳稳的落入了黑衣人的手中。

当紫衣人打算群而歼之之际，黑衣人却抬手制止，挑高了俊眉，望向一步一步朝他优雅走过来的白衣男子。

待苏鼎盛看清自紫衣人中间走过来的那位眉眼如画一般的高大男子时，本已绝望的脸霎时间变得兴奋且迫切起来：“虞儿，你回来了虞儿，快，快救救我，快救救爹爹啊！”

黑衣人听言，漂亮的凤眸眨了眨，而后略显诧异的扫了眼苏虞，挑眉：“你爹？”

苏虞看也不看苏鼎盛一眼，反而态度温和的朝着黑衣人微微颔首：“不好意思，打扰了。”

无错版本在69书吧读！6=9+书_吧首发本小说。

打，打扰了？

苏鼎盛还未明白过来此话是何意，黑衣人已是饶有兴味儿的勾唇一笑：“哦！~想必这位就是苏丞相那位被撵出家门的嫡子苏虞吧？”

苏虞大大方方的颔首：“没错，鄙人正是苏虞。”

却是绝口不提苏家子的事实，即使他还挂着这么一个姓。

“没想到你回来的还真是时候！”

苏虞闻言，露出一抹讽笑：“可不真是时候？早知道你们这时候动手，就晚一点现身了。”

黑衣人若有所思的看了苏虞一眼，似在思索他话中意思的真假。

而苏鼎盛，却已因苏虞的话，霎时间暴跳如雷，急红了眼：“苏虞，你这个逆子，你刚刚说的那是什么话？我是你爹！”

“爹？你也知道你是我爹？呵，抱歉，我回来本就是接手苏家，至于你，或者你的妻妾儿女，与我，有何干系？”

苏鼎盛不可思议的瞪大眼睛，一时之间，因着苏虞冲击性的话语，呆若木鸡。

苏虞淡淡的转眸，看向黑衣人：“这剩下的一人，阁下作何处置，我不会管，但是这苏家嫡氏一脉，必须由我接手！”

黑衣人眸光微闪，抬眸看向他：“你凭什么以为，你能逃脱了今日的屠杀？”

苏虞温如如玉一般的俊颜之上，划过一抹轻笑：“凭我苏虞有这个本事，不信，咱们就试试？”

许是为了印证苏虞的话，下一秒，他的身后陡然出现十多名黑衣人，将近圈之内的紫衣人围了个正着。

两厢人马几乎打了个照面，就剑拔弩张的对峙起来。

黑衣人目光漫不经心扫过苏虞身后的十多个人，忽的，眯了眯眼：“你以为凭你这十几个人就能与我的人抗衡？”

他的话音一落，呼啦啦的从暗处跳跃出来几十道紫影。

面对此情况，苏虞却是不以为意的淡然一笑：“很简单，你该做什么做什么，我不会阻拦，但是，我做什么，你们也无需多问。”

黑衣人正要说什么，苏虞却突然抬头看天：“我的外家，在十二年前，也受了连累，”

就是这样漫不经心的一句话，好像突然之间提醒了某人。

黑衣人乍然间明白过来，苏家的情况，他们自然也做了调查，但显然没想到眼前这位翩翩贵公子与苏鼎盛的感情，竟然已经淡薄到了这等地步。

似乎在他的眼里，只有外家，没有这个所谓的爹。

就在黑衣人垂眸思索的时候，苏鼎盛已经怒睁着圆目，死死的盯着苏虞，恨不能上前把他掐死：“你，你这个不孝子，我是你爹啊，你的亲爹，你怎能眼睁睁的看着我去死？”

苏虞冷笑一声，欺身上前，俊逸的容颜上闪烁着明显的讽意。

“你当初是怎么对待我的外家，又是怎么对待我娘和我的？需不需提醒你？杜家真的是通敌卖国？真的是罪无可恕？真的需要灭九族？苏鼎盛，你这十年间到底害死多少无辜之人，还需要我一一给你细数过来吗？”

“你，你这是什么意思？”苏鼎盛一听‘杜家’二字，身体就不由自主的发颤起来。

“什么意思？呵呵，自然是因果报应的意思，不管是位列人臣，还身为父母官，甚至是为人父，你都不合格，放心，你死了，属于外家的一切会名正言顺的由我接手，而你，活该一无所有，回归你当年一穷二白，这就是因果循环，不是你的，永远都不是你的，即便你再努力，也没用！！！”

苏虞的声音很轻，却字字如针凿一般狠狠的戳在苏鼎盛的心口，几句话下来，他的心已是千疮百孔，大脑更是因着这些冲击性的话，一片空白。

在苏虞转身离开的同时，黑衣人笑米米的看着瘫坐在地上的苏鼎盛，嘴角勾起一抹讳莫如深的笑意后，手起刀落间，这位权倾朝野的苏相，就此被劈成了两半儿，那双瞪大的眼睛，到死，都含着血红色的不甘。

“腰斩？”即使没有看到，凭借着声音，以及四周围散发出的森森杀意，让苏虞很快意识到面前之人的身份。

黑衣人却并没有给他思考的时间，就已飞身而起，“今个儿爷心情好，就卖你这个人情，苏家就勉强留给你，来日老子若有需要，还望苏大少行个方便！”

苏虞回以淡然的颔首：“与人方便自己方便，这个情，苏某人记下了。”

黑衣人留下白色的‘杜’字索命符之后，全身而退，而苏虞却对着黑夜中某个方向道：“看了这么久，是否该现身了？”

须臾，自晨间氤氲的血雾中，走出一位身着暗紫锦袍，玉冠束发的高大男子。

待看清那人的容貌，苏虞的眉头不由自主的蹙起：“凤王殿下？”

卫玠的到来，就好像这黎明中一缕净若琉璃的光，使这阴森沉郁的血腥之地一下子干净了许多，他稳稳地步伐，带着令人说不出的凛然气势。

眉宇间隐含着的不怒而威，让苏虞瞬间意识到，他或许在这儿已经停留足够多的时间。

紫衣人离开，他才透露出了些许气息，否则以他的功力，根本就觉察不到他的存在。

卫玠漫不经心的扫过脚边一具具尸体，最后将目光放在被劈成两半儿的苏鼎盛身上，久久不语。

苏虞虽没料到会在这里碰到卫玠，但想到左相府的灭门，他会出现在这里，自然也不意外。

没有被抓包后的心虚，苏虞的表现十分的平静，就好像死的那个人不是他爹，而是一个不相干的人。

“既然殿下提前来了，那么苏府的一切就交给殿下来料理了，草民另有要事要解决，告辞！”

他回来，自不是为了与这些死尸叙旧，既然有人为他扫清障碍，他自然要去做自己应该做的，他与卫玠本就没有任何牵扯，自然不需要卑躬屈膝。

因着他这句话，卫玠这才微微抬眸，挑眉：“苏虞？”

“请问殿下有何指教？”

他可不认为，卫玠会将灭门的责任推到他身上。

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.
