"What? King Ling's father and mother were killed by his adoptive father?" Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide in surprise.

This kind of bloody thing has been seen in many movie scenes, but I didn't expect that it would actually happen in reality.

Tuoba Xian nodded: "Tuo Ba Ling's original surname is Cao, and he is a branch of the Cao family in Yingchuan."

Yingchuan Cao family?

It's a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere, Yang Ruoqing thought, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

Tuoba Xian seemed to see Yang Ruoqing's confusion, and smiled slightly and said: "In your Daqi, there are several famous families, and the Yingchuan Cao family is one of them."

Yang Ruoqing understood.

This Yingchuan is a place name.

There are people with the surname Cao in the Yingchuan area. Their ancestors have great reputations and achievements, and then the children of the same surname in the family also strive for success, and generation after generation they become officials, join the army or do business.

In short, in each generation, there are famous people at that time, so they can support a big family.

It's like Lao Yangtou often said that he was a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family.

It's just that the Yang family of Hongnong was a prominent family in the previous dynasty, but it has long since declined after the change of dynasties in Daqi.

"Mom, go on," Yang Ruoqing said.

Tuoba Xian took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and continued: "Tuo Ba Ling's real name is Cao Ling, and his father is a branch of the Cao family in Yingchuan."

"The original old residence was in Suixi County, south of Daqi. Suixi County should be about the same size as Qing'an County."

"His biological father is Cao Kuan, a well-known wealthy businessman in the local area. He is considered to be one of the richest."

"His mother is the daughter of a local squire. She is proficient in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is said that she is the most talented and beautiful woman in Suixi County."

"When Cao Ling was six years old, Tuoba Yu disguised himself and went south, passing through Suixi County."

"The people I sent did not investigate whether Tuoba Yu had any contact with Cao Kuan, but Tuoba Yu stayed in Suixi County for ten days."

"It was within those ten days that the Cao family suddenly encountered a fire. The fire burned for three days and three nights."

"All the family property was burned to the ground, and dozens of members of the Cao family, except Tuoba Ling who survived later, were all buried in the sea of ​​​​fire." Tuoba Xian said.

Yang Ruoqing frowned, "There is no such coincidence in the world. Was Tuoba Yu the one who set the fire?"

Tuoba Xian said in a deep voice: "The people I sent found two bodies that were not completely burnt in the ruins after the fire. Both of them had their necks wiped!"

"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing took a breath.

"So, Tuoba Yu first sent people to kill all the Cao family members, and then set fire to them, destroying the corpses and destroying traces to create the illusion of a fire?" she asked.

Tuoba Xian said: "Although my speculation is the same as yours, Qing'er, almost twenty years have passed since this happened, and there is no proof!"

Yang Ruoqing's brows furrowed a little tighter.

Tuoba Yu is really a vicious and cruel person. Since he can do things like destroying his family,

Well, before the family was exterminated, all the female relatives of the Cao family, including the most talented and beautiful woman in Suixi County, Prince Ling's mother, had to endure a lot of humiliation.

Damn it!

Although this is a world of jungle, you are strong and you plunder the lives of others, but please let others die with dignity.

Don't do anything worse than a beast and challenge the bottom line of being a human being!
