Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

"What do you think? Don't forget, Ling Xian is exactly eighteen years old this year." Gu Xingyan glanced at Shu Wenbo.

If this is true, then Ling Shijiang, Concubine Duan, and Ling Xian would all be killed by Emperor Jingzhang.

The Ling family of Northern Jin is becoming more and more interesting.

Gu Xingyan put his thumb and index finger together and rubbed them slowly. If this was true, he wouldn't mind helping Ling Yan.

"Where's Liang Tianyou?"

"He's on duty today." Shu Wenbo glanced at the sun, "He should be back soon."

A substitute was originally arranged, but it was him who scared the maid next to Miss Li that day. Now he was punished again when he came back.

Liang Tianyou couldn't help but nag. Gu Xingyan was about to ask Liang Tianyou to come over when he came back, when he heard his iconic loud voice: "Brother Jiu, I'm back."

Shu Wenbo could only shake his head and laugh helplessly. This Liang Tianyou was the grandson of their Daliang general. With his eccentric personality, who knows who he resembles.

"Brother Jiu, are you looking for me?" Liang Tianyou poked half of his head inside through the door.

"Well, kill someone." Gu Xingyan opened his eyelids and glanced at him.

Liang Tianyou emerged from behind the door. "Yes, Brother Jiu ordered us to kill someone. We made sure it was done perfectly. Even his father thought he died of laughter in his sleep."

Gu Xingyan also had a faint smile on his face: "Xu Jianzhou."

The three of them were part of the same group of people who were sold to the mountains and trained as secret guards. In the end, only the three of them survived.

Therefore, he had no doubt about Liang Tianyou's martial arts skills.

"Xu Jianzhou? Who is that?"

A sneer appeared on Gu Xingyan's lips. Ling Heng and Lin Bin, mother and son, were really good at hiding this person.

Ou Jianglin explained: "Xu Jianzhou's real name is Lin Jianzhou. He is the second uncle of Concubine Lin. Old Master Lin had a son in his old age. However, when he was young, he was abducted by human traffickers and sold to a merchant named Xu. He was found when he was eighteen years old. At that time, Concubine Lin had already entered the Prince's Mansion."

Liang Tianyou was a little confused: "Wait, wait a minute, since Xu Jianzhou's surname is Lin and he has been found, why doesn't he change his surname back?"

Shu Wenbo patted Liang Tianyou on the shoulder. Although he didn't understand, he said, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Listen slowly."

Liang Tianyou shook his head: "I don't like tofu, whether it's cold or hot."

Ou Jianglin: "Princess Lin's father only had this one daughter, and originally wanted to find a son-in-law for Concubine Lin, but by some strange coincidence, she was favored by Emperor Jingzhang, who was then the crown prince. The previous emperor had experienced a bloody struggle for the throne, and the struggle that was going on at that time was equally dangerous."

"After the Lin family members thought about it, it would be fine if Lin gave birth to a daughter, but if she gave birth to a son, no matter how low-key they acted and how unwilling they were to get involved, they would still be unable to escape their fate. In this case, why not take the initiative into their own hands!"

Shu Wenbo couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Xingyan. Isn't it true? Birth is already destined. Being born into a royal family is an original sin. Ninth brother was sent to Northern Jin when he was born, so he couldn't escape anyway.

"So, when the news came out that Lin was pregnant, Mr. Lin immediately called his two sons into the study to discuss things. In the end, they decided to send the newly found youngest son, Xu Jianzhou, back to the Xu family, and to secretly transfer the Lin family's assets to the Xu family bit by bit."

Liang Tianyou: "Does the Xu family agree to drag the Xu family into this?"

Ou Jianglin snorted coldly: "So, Mr. Lin killed Xu Jianzhou's adoptive parents."

"Ah? That's really cruel. After all, he has raised his son for more than ten years."

"No buying and selling, no harm. The Xu couple bought the child from human traffickers, so their death was not unjust."

Liang Tianyou nodded: "I understand, that is to say, the old man of the Lin family knew that once his daughter entered the palace, as long as she gave birth to a son, she would have to fight for the throne. So in order to protect his daughter and grandson, he deliberately squandered most of the Lin family's assets bit by bit. In secret, he sent a large sum of money to Ling Heng to help him pave the way for the throne."

Ou Jianglin patted Liang Tianyou on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Liang is smart. Emperor Jingzhang took Concubine Lin into the Crown Prince's Mansion because he saw that the Lin family was rich. However, within a few years, the Lin family's assets were almost ruined. Do you think that Emperor Jingzhang, who has already ascended the throne, will still favor Concubine Lin? It's already good enough to give her the title of concubine."

"No wonder. I couldn't understand why Emperor Jingzhang hated Ling Heng and Lin Concubine so much. It turns out that the bastard Emperor of Northern Jin married her for her family's money."

"That's right. Emperor Jingzhang has six sons. Ling Heng's mother's family is weak, and the other princes are fighting each other to the death. They don't take Ling Heng seriously for the time being. Therefore, whether it's training secret guards or raising private soldiers, no one suspects him."

Liang Tianyou scratched his head: "Then why did he marry Miss Li? She is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. General Li has 300,000 soldiers. Isn't this just putting himself in a trap? Oh, I remember, it wasn't Ling Heng who wanted to marry Miss Li, it was Miss Li who came to marry him of her own accord. He has a good appearance."

Gu Xingyan's face suddenly darkened, and an icy air burst out instantly, scaring Liang Tianyou so much that he hid behind Shu Wenbo.

"Jiu, Jiu brother, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Ou Jianglin gave him a concerned look, wishing him the best.

It was only when he found his master half a month ago that he learned from his master that Ling Heng, who appeared to be poor and destitute, was actually so deep-minded and hid his thoughts so deeply.

He immediately sent people to investigate. He was shocked when he checked.

It was also his fault as the person in charge of the secret agents sent by Daliang to Northern Jin.

It has to be said that Mr. Lin has a far-sighted vision and a profound plan.

Unfortunately, the time is too short and the base where Ling Heng trains his secret guards and private soldiers has not yet been found.

Ou Jianglin: "Xu suggested that this person is very good at business. When the Lin family's business was passed to him, it was in decline. But he took action and in less than five years, he revived the business and made it bigger than ever before. But his methods were not very glorious."

"This man not only smuggled salt, but also raised grain prices during disaster years, resold military rations, and abducted and sold children and women. I don't know how many people he killed. He should have died long ago."

"What? Wasn't he kidnapped by human traffickers? How come he is doing this kind of thing himself?"

"It makes money quickly."

Liang Tianyou was so angry that he kicked the pillar hard, and the pain made him cry.

He and Ninth Brother, weren't they sold by human traffickers to be trained as secret guards? Maybe it was Xu Jianzhou's doing, who caused Ninth Brother and them to be poisoned with an indecipherable poison.

Liang Tianyou gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jiu, leave it to me. I will make him die in his dream tonight."

Originally, he wanted him to die with a smile in his dream, but now, haha, how could he let it go so easily!

Gu Xingyan folded the silk handkerchief she had been playing with and put it in her arms: "Well, do it more covertly."

In the imperial palace, Emperor Jingzhang looked at the shriveled old man who was brought to him by Fang Xu, the commander of the Five Cities Army.

Shouldn't a miracle doctor have an air of immortality?
