Ling Tian sneered and continued, "Even if Aunt's child is really a boy, even if he manages to secure the throne with our help, so what? After all, that is the Long Family's throne and not our Ling family's! After all, his surname is Long! The descendants of our Ling family will still have to listen to the orders of the Long Family. As the saying goes, wealth does not last for more than three generations. Perhaps the Imperial Family will still have to rely on our Ling family for the next two generations and nothing will happen. However, our Ling family's position has already reached a point where we can only go up and not down. Once the Imperial Family's power increases greatly, no ambitious monarch will allow a monster like the Ling family to exist within their jurisdiction! No matter how many years have passed, the Ling family's downfall is just a matter of time! Grandmother, don't you think so? Grandmother, please do not say anything that goes against your heart! "
Old Lady Ling fell silent again. A gentle breeze blew, causing her white hair to flutter. After a long time, she sighed and said, "That's right. As long as Tian'er is around, no one will be able to shake the Ling family's position. However, everyone will die one day. After a hundred years, if the descendants of the Ling family do not have a powerful leader, they will definitely be slaughtered by the Imperial Family! The Imperial Family is the most ruthless. This is something that can be foreseen! "
Ling Tian's gaze was deep as he said cautiously, "Therefore, only by establishing our own country and controlling our own family's fate in our own hands can we succeed! Even if our descendants really fall in the future, it can only be because of their own incompetence and inability to protect their ancestral land. They cannot blame anyone else! However, we will definitely not give up our bow after the birds are gone and die an unjust death! "
"Your grandfather and I are already old. In the future, Tian'er, you can make decisions for the Ling family. You don't have to worry about anything." Old Lady Ling sighed and remained silent for a long time.
Ling Tian was overjoyed. He knew that his grandmother had chosen to support him unconditionally in the end! In this way, it would be much more convenient for him to do things!
"However, there is one thing that requires Grandma to do personally. I believe Grandma will be very willing to do it." Ling Tian reached into his bosom and took out the name list that Nangong Tianlong had given him. "These are the spies that the Nangong family had planted in the Ling family for more than ten years. They were secretly entangled with Ling Kong. I've already investigated them thoroughly and verified that there's no mistake!"
Old Lady Ling looked carefully at the name list in her hand. A sharp murderous look flashed across her eyes. "Alright, I'll take care of this matter. Consider it as fulfilling one of my wishes."
"Yes, no matter how wrong Ling Kong is, he is still Grandpa's adopted son. You have to be careful when dealing with him. Otherwise, Grandpa will be sad. Let me deal with him. After all, we still have a lot of debts to settle! "Ling Tian pondered and said," But, it's another matter for Grandma to clean up the family. As for these people, I've already arranged for people to control them within a certain range. As long as Grandma gives the order, they can all be escorted over immediately! "
Ling Tian smiled viciously and reminded her, "These people refuse to realize their mistakes. Grandmother, you must not be soft-hearted."
"Scram! Little brat! " Old Lady Ling scolded jokingly. "This old lady has lived for more than ten years. I know this much better than you. Do I still need you to remind me?" She paused and suddenly laughed. "Are you worried about Ling Zhen? Do you think Grandma doesn't know what kind of person he is? "
Ling Tian nodded. "For the past ten years, Grandma has kept Ling Zhen by her side and nurtured him wholeheartedly. In these ten years, Ling Zhen has not made the slightest move! This kind of scheming is already at the top of the younger generation! No matter what task is handed to him, he can handle it flawlessly and properly! If he wasn't Ling Kong's son, with his talent, he would be of great use! However, he is destined to be an enemy of the Ling family. If we leave such an enemy behind, it will be a huge problem in the future! I know that Grandma is decisive, but humans are not plants. How can we give up ten years of affection so easily? "
Old Lady Ling's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of fierceness. "Tian 'er has underestimated Grandma. Grandma has been waiting for this day for ten years. What affection do I have for that little bastard? He and his son are both enemies who have caused this old lady to be unable to enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren!"
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Since Grandma has already made up her mind, you can send down the Family Head's order to lock up all these people in the residence! I'll have them cooperate closely and not let anyone escape! This matter should be done sooner rather than later! "
Old Lady Ling nodded and said, "Then I'll send down the order immediately. It's time for the Ling family to be cleaned up. I can only blame this day for coming too late! "
Ling Tian returned to the small courtyard and Ling Chen immediately greeted him. "Young Master, Fierce Wind has sent news that they have found traces of Su Huairen and Xiao Ju. These two bastards are already under our control! "
Ling Tian nodded and said, "If we still can't find the whereabouts of these two people, then Ling Liu and Fierce Wind should really be spanked!" Without stopping, he walked into the study and quickly wrote down a few orders and handed them to Ling Chen to send out.
At this time, he asked, "Where are the two of them now? Only the two of them are captured? Are there any others? "
Ling Chen said, "In a small village in the suburbs. Su Huairen's wife and two of his sons were also captured. Our subordinates were afraid that young master would interrogate them personally and only captured them. Does young master want to take a look? " As she said that, Ling Chen chuckled, "However, Su Huairen seems to have made preparations. He actually dug a huge underground space under the village house. The food stored inside is enough to last for at least half a year! The accumulated wealth is also enough for a person to squander for three lifetimes! Furthermore, the place is extremely well hidden and there is a small well beside it. Even the excrement area is arranged properly. Obviously, it took a long time to prepare such a place. "As she said that, her face couldn't help but turn red.
Ling Tian laughed and said, "That's more like it! If Su Huairen didn't have a way to protect his life, how would he dare to do such a disgraceful thing? Hmph hmph, what wishful thinking. He would hide underground for three to five months and after the commotion dies down, he would escape from Sky Bearing and live a carefree life as a rich man! Hahaha … "Ling Tian's face turned cold." A pity, he won't have that life anymore! Let's let him have some fun now! "
Ling Tian stood up and took two steps forward before saying, "I don't need to do this personally. Just leave the interrogation to Ling Jian! After that, don't leave a single one alive and kill them all! Get Ling Jian to bring their heads and confessions to me! Tell him that no matter what method he uses, he has to bring me the complete confession! However, the face of the person must be more complete! "
Ling Chen agreed and went to pass the message. She already knew that this matter was already set in stone!
Ling Jian's interrogation methods were passed down from Ling Tian and he had already surpassed his master! His methods were cruel and effective to the point that it left one tongue-tied! Anyone who had seen Ling Jian's interrogation methods would vomit for at least three to five days. Within a month, they would lose all appetite and lose a few rounds of weight. This was a good way to lose weight!
From the moment Ling Tian said that he would leave this matter to Ling Jian, Su Huairen was already destined to embark on a path that was worse than death! If Su Huairen mustered all his courage and committed suicide before Ling Jian arrived, he would at least be able to avoid 90% of the torture! However, if he waited for Ling Jian to arrive, he would not even have the chance to commit suicide. Because his life was no longer in his own hands!
Night fell.
Dark clouds covered the sky and the drizzle was just beginning to stop. Heaven and earth were shrouded in darkness!
Empress Yang Xue had not been able to sleep well for the past few nights, with nightmares popping up all over the place. This was especially so for the assassination of Ling Ran. Just when she was about to succeed, Ling Tian suddenly appeared out of nowhere and spoiled her plans, causing her to gnash her teeth in anger! Ling Ran was now living in the Ling family. Even if Yang Xue wanted to kill her, she would not have the chance! She could only wait bitterly for Ling Ran to successfully give birth to a child before she could return to the palace. However, by then, the security would definitely be tighter and there would not be many chances!
If she really gave birth to a boy …
Thinking of this troublesome matter, Yang Xue no longer felt sleepy. The only thing she could do now was to pray that Ling Ran's child was a girl. Other than that, there was no other way. After thinking for half the night, she was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.
In her sleep, she vaguely felt that it was drizzling. The raindrops fell on her face, making her feel cold! Just as she was thinking about how this was the sleeping quarters of the palace, how could it leak? She suddenly woke up with a start!
"Drip, drip, drip …" The sound of raindrops continued to ring out, as though they were dripping right beside her. Her nose could even smell the thick stench of blood. Yang Xue's heart was filled with terror, as though there were countless ferocious ghosts and demons hiding in the darkness, waiting quietly, ready to pounce on her at any time.
Yang Xue reached out and touched her face. She could only feel a sticky feeling. It was enough to prove that she was not having a nightmare earlier.
There was not a single sound in her surroundings. It was as if she was the only person left in the entire palace. Yang Xue was extremely frightened. She could not help but open her mouth and scream. Her shrill voice reverberated throughout the entire sleeping quarters. However, there was no response from the palace maids or eunuchs. This was something that should be impossible. However, this impossible thing happened. The echoes of her voice echoed in the empty space, making it even more eerie and terrifying.
Yang Xue's entire heart turned cold. Boundless fear instantly surrounded her. In the silence, only the sound of her teeth chattering could be heard. It was as if there was an endless "da da" sound echoing with the seemingly endless "da da" sound.
