"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 Yingchuan. Their ancestors have great reputations and achievements, and then the children of the same surname in the family also strive for success. 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 for 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!

"Although there is no evidence, those corpses will not lie," Yang Ruoqing said,

"The truth of the matter should be as we speculated, kill first, then destroy the body and eliminate traces."

"If this is true, then Tuobaling's survival is not due to luck, but because this was a game set by Tuoba Yu from the beginning. Tuobaling is just a pawn on the chessboard, just at his mercy."

Yang Ruoqing said again.

Tuoba Xian nodded slightly.

Yang Ruoqing asked her again: "Mom, when you were chatting with Tuobaling before, did you tell him all this?"

Tuoba Xian smiled lightly and said: "I specifically invited him here this time to tell him this, so naturally I won't hide it."

"Does he believe it?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Tuoba Xian shook his head: "Have some doubts about it."

"Looking at him, he is really shocked."

"But compared to Tuoba Yu, his adopted father who has raised him for more than ten years, I, the eldest princess, is just a political enemy in his eyes."

"If I say so, he may feel that I am deliberately trying to sow discord between their father and son, or even instigate him to rebel."

"Yes, I did want to instigate rebellion against him. This is human nature, and I did it openly and openly." Tuoba Xian said.

Yang Ruoqing agreed with Tuoba Xian's words.

"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable," she said.

"A person must at least know where he comes from and where he is going."

"More importantly, you must understand what you are doing and why you are working for me. If the person you risk your life to serve is your father-killing enemy, are you still willing to be used for the rest of your life?" Yang Ruoqing said.

"Even if Tuobaling now has doubts about the information you provided, we have planted this seed of doubt in Tuobaling's heart."

"If he hadn't been moved at all, he wouldn't have disguised himself as a businessman and come all the way to find you."

"We are not in a hurry. Our purpose is to sow the seeds and wait for the seeds to take root and sprout in his heart. He himself will follow the clues you provided to investigate!"

"What we say doesn't count. Only when he finds out the truth himself, he will naturally take action, unless he is not a human being, but a dog who can abandon everything for fame and fortune!"

No, dogs don’t think the family is poor, some people are not as good as dogs!

"Tuoba Ling shouldn't be that kind of person!" Tuoba Xian murmured.

"I can feel that he is a person with his own thoughts. That's all, this matter is over, I have done everything I should do. I won't say more next, just wait for changes!" she added.

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly.

"Then did he say when he would leave Changping Village?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Tuoba Xian said: "I didn't say."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Then I'll go check on him later. I don't want to entertain so many people. It's a small thing to waste food, and I always feel uneasy."

Tuoba Xian remembered something and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Last time you went to deliver a letter to him, didn't you meet him in person? Did he recognize you this time?"

Mentioning this, Yang Ruoqing showed a proud look on her face.

"Mom, you can rest assured. Your daughter-in-law is my second best in disguise, and no one dares to think she is the best."

"Besides, I sneaked into their military camp last time, but I was dressed as a soldier and had a masculine body! He Tuobaling couldn't recognize me no matter how dazzling his eyes were!"

Tuoba Xian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"

"By the way, when will Fengtang get home?" Tuoba Xian asked again.
