"With the Ling family in this chaotic situation, it is impossible for them to not go against us. What we can do now is to divert the attention of all parties to the Ling family before making use of the Ling family and the Nangong family to create a chaotic situation! At that time, the chaos would have already been formed and the Yang Family would be able to remain unaffected. They might even be able to profit from the chaos! "Yang Zheng said with a sinister smile.
"Not bad." This was the third time Yang KongQun said the word "not bad" today, and it was said to the same person. To the Yang Family, this was already a great honor.
"Now that the chaos has already been formed, our Yang Family is already at a disadvantage. However, our enemy, the Ling family, did not suffer any losses. This is extremely disadvantageous for us. Only by messing up the waters and causing the Ling family to suffer some losses will we be able to maintain the balance between the two families. Even if we offend an extremely strong expert, it will be worth it. With the balance between the Ling and Yang Families, the imperial family would not dare to act recklessly! This is indeed a good idea! "
Yang Zheng laughed sinisterly, "As for what to do, it will still be up to Family Head to decide. However, this subordinate suggests that we do the opposite and borrow the strength of the imperial family to pave a path for us. After all, with the Ling family having an additional expert in this chaotic situation, we are not the only ones who are worried!"
Yang KongQun was stunned for a moment before a sinister smile appeared on his face. His eyes flickered like a venomous snake, flickering in and out.
Dawn.
The Sky Bearing Emperor, Long Xiang, walked out of his bedroom slowly. Looking at the clear sky, he felt the good mood that had disappeared for a long time return to his heart. It was as though the flowers and grass were laughing for him.
This was because the imperial physician had reported that Long Xiang's most beloved consort, Ling Ran, was pregnant again! This news made Long Xiang very happy. Ling Ran's body was weak since she was young. After marrying him, she only gave birth to Princess Hao Yue. After that, there was no news of her anymore. Not only Long Xiang, even Ling Ran felt that it was a pity. She hated herself for not being able to give birth to a prince for Long Xiang. She was suppressed by Empress Yang Xue.
Unexpectedly, when Princess Hao Yue was already seventeen years old, Ling Ran was pregnant again. When the two of them received the news, they almost thought that they were dreaming! In order to share the joy of having a child with his beloved concubine, Long Xiang had specially stayed the night in the Gui fei's palace. Looking at his beloved concubine's belly that was still flat, Long Xiang thought about how his flesh and blood was growing inside and couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Duke Yang requests an audience."
"Let him in." Long Xiang was in a good mood and said without hesitation. At the same time, he felt strange in his heart. The sky had just brightened, so why did this father-in-law come to look for him so early?
"Your Majesty, the murderer of the Nangong gongzi has been found!" Yang KongQun said as soon as he came in. "Your Majesty, please make a decision for this old subject and arrest the murderer. My Yang Family will be cleared and the Nangong family will be given justice."
"Oh? There's news so quickly? Why didn't you search for a few more days so that we can investigate the background of your Yang Family? " Long Xiang cursed in his heart. 'You old bastard! How dare you hide such a powerful force behind my back and you still haven't given me an explanation! You even want me to help you catch the murderer of your grandson-in-law!' The most infuriating thing was that you actually brought out the Yang Family and the Nangong family to pressure me!
"Yes, the murderer is a green dressed fortune teller and entered Sky Bearing yesterday in disguise. After my Yang Family's guards found the murderer, they wanted to arrest him. However, young noble Ling Tian of the Ling family seemed to have been bewitched by the murderer and brought the green dressed fortune teller into the Ling House. This involves the face of Duke Ling and Your Majesty, and this subject does not dare to make a decision on my own. Thus, I specially came here to request for Your Majesty to make a decision for this old subject."
Yang KongQun said with a pained expression, "That young noble Ling Tian is young and full of vigor but was bewitched by the words of the murderer. If we arrest the murderer, we can also clear Prince Ling's name. If the Nangong family were to find out that the murderer of the Nangong gongzi is hiding in the Ling family and is even treated as a guest by the Ling family, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble."
"What? Ling Tian?! Is this news reliable? "
"It is definitely true. This matter concerns the reputation of the Ling family and this subject would not dare to be careless. I hope that Your Majesty can make a decision quickly. The murderer's martial arts are extremely high and if he manages to escape or if Prince Ling is bewitched by him and allows him to leave the city, it would definitely be a huge problem for our Sky Bearing. Previously, on the streets, he killed more than a hundred guards in the time it takes for an incense to burn. Such a bloodthirsty killer can only be compared to the great demon from a hundred years ago, Ren PingSheng. If he were to escape, the consequences would be dire." Yang KongQun's face was filled with concern for Ling Tian!
Long Xiang's heart skipped a beat. He was not shocked at how Yang KongQun described the murderer as the great demon, Ren PingSheng. Instead, he was shocked at how his precious nephew, Ling Tian, knew how to stir up trouble. In the past few years, there had been people talking about how Ling Tian had stirred up trouble again and how he had beaten up someone's young noble again. Especially those from the Yang family, every single one of them had been beaten up by Ling Tian more than ten times!
As long as it was something related to the Yang family, Ling Tian would definitely be involved in it. What was even more infuriating was that he would always use his own reputation to stir up trouble. "If you dare to not accept the beating, be careful that my uncle will take care of you!" With this trump card out, who would dare to make a sound?! In the past few years, Long Xiang felt that if he did not hear any news about Ling Tian stirring up trouble for three days in a row, he would be able to relax a lot. Although his reputation was being used to its fullest, he was still secretly pleased. The little brat of the Ling family thought that he was stronger than his father and grandfather!
But this time, he had gone too far. In the past, when you interfered with the Yang family's matters and caused trouble for the Yang family, I would turn a blind eye and let it go. I would even help you in the dark. But this time, it was a murder suspect, why did you have to entertain him? Didn't you know that this person had killed the son of one of the Eight Great Families, the head of the Nangong family, Nangong Tianlong? Wasn't this the same as knocking himself into a hornet's nest?
Long Xiang frowned and paced around twice. Then, he looked at Yang KongQun and grumbled, "Old Master Yang, this is only a young noble from the Nangong family who was killed. Do you really need me to mobilize the imperial guards? There are many experts in the Yang family, and all of them are unfathomable. Capturing a small suspect shouldn't be a problem, right? "
On the surface, he sounded like he was complaining, but in reality, he was questioning Yang KongQun. Especially when he said 'there are many experts in the Yang family, and all of them are unfathomable', it was as good as asking Yang KongQun if he should give him an explanation for the troops in his residence.
Long Xiang had a plan in his heart. As long as Yang KongQun gave him an explanation, Long Xiang would immediately ask for half of Yang KongQun's elite troops to be returned to the country! Otherwise, with such a troop right under his nose, he would not be able to rest assured!
Besides, Ling Ran's body had been weak ever since she was pregnant, and Ling Tian was Ling Ran's only nephew. Just this morning, he had promised to take good care of Ling Ran. Only then did he manage to coax Ling Ran to sleep peacefully. Did he have to go back on his words?
Yang KongQun naturally heard the hidden meaning in Long Xiang's words. He blinked as if he did not understand Long Xiang's intentions. He said, "Your Majesty is right. However, this matter involves the Ling House. This old official cannot help but be cautious. If this old official brings people to search for the suspect and offends Duke Ling, then … this old official cannot bear the consequences."
Hehe, it is true that I am your father-in-law, but the other side is also your father-in-law. If you, the emperor, do not say anything, what can the two of us do? Could it be that they would really fight? Although Yang KongQun did not say these words clearly, his tone faintly revealed this meaning.
Yang KongQun automatically filtered out Long Xiang's words about the Yang Family's strength.
This old fox!
Long Xiang was furious in his heart, but on the surface, he did not show it. "Since that is the case, we will give a verbal order. Official Yang can go to the Ling House to capture the suspect. However, no matter what, you are not allowed to disturb the other people in the Ling House. "After he finished speaking, he could not help but smile. As if he was smiling. He was very satisfied with his own actions. My verbal order? I'm afraid that before it reaches Lin Zhan's ears, Ling Tian will have already blocked it, right? This is a good opportunity for the Ling and Yang Families to properly deal with each other again. En, the Ling family's strength is already strong enough. There is no need to add any more experts. Letting Yang KongQun deal with this person is not necessarily a bad thing. The Ling family will lose a top expert, and the Yang Family will definitely suffer a great loss. The two families will become weaker and weaker. In the end, won't they still be at my disposal?
Yang KongQun hesitated for a while, then finally said, "This old official thanks Your Majesty." He originally wanted to say that a verbal order would not be very useful. However, he thought that it would be inappropriate for the emperor to issue an imperial edict for such a small matter. The emperor would definitely not agree. Besides, there was no evidence for a verbal order. The Ling family could deny it, but he could also use it as a pretext to make a fuss. No matter what, he had already achieved his goal of dragging the Ling family into this mess! It was better not to ask for more.
As long as he could make a big fuss in front of the Ling family, it would be best if he could capture and kill the blue-clothed fortune teller. At that time, Nangong Tianlong would personally come and he would have a reasonable explanation. The Ling family would definitely not be able to take this lying down. It would be a good opportunity for the two families to fight, and he would also be able to recuperate and have some peace.
Yang KongQun did not care whether Long Xiang's order was an imperial edict or a verbal one. Today, he only came to inform Long Xiang. This was to prevent the emperor's son-in-law from feeling uneasy when he mobilized his troops. If Long Xiang stabbed him in the back, that would be terrible!
