Chapter 223 Please ask my cousin to lend me one hundred thousand taels
Several figures descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard where Tang Yue lived. They were all powerful, and the old man with the highest cultivation level was actually a third-level grandmaster.
The servants and servants in the courtyard knelt down together and kowtowed deeply, "Greetings to the third elder..."
"Tang Yue has fallen." The old man flashed and appeared in front of Tang Yue's body, and his powerful spiritual consciousness immediately spread out.
Tang Yue's physical body was sitting indoors, seemingly meditating, but there was no breath and no life left.
The body is still warm and he died not long ago.
"The soul collapsed, but the physical body is intact..." The old man looked thoughtful, "It wasn't poisoning. How did he die?"
Several other members of the Tang family also looked at each other in confusion. They could not find out the cause of Tang Yue's death, and they all looked a little ugly.
Although Tang Yue is just a concubine, his cultivation level is only seventh level, and he is not liked by the family master at all, but after all, his surname is Tang, and he is of Tang family blood after all!
But he died strangely in his room. He was not poisoned, nor did he have any wounds.
In any case, this is not a glorious thing for the Tang family, which has a strong foundation and tight defenses.
"Third Elder!" Tang Yue's concubine said tremblingly to the old man who was a master, "The eldest young master was sitting quietly in the room, but for some reason..."
"My slave didn't see him go out, and no one visited him..."
The third elder then withdrew his consciousness and said with a gloomy look: "Tang Yue should have died from the soul attack. His soul was destroyed."
A middle-aged man with a fifth-level cultivation frowned and said, "Third uncle, who did it? Or...Tang Yue committed suicide?"
When monks commit suicide, they often adopt the method of annihilation of the soul.
Tang Yue's body was intact, and no resources or property were lost. He died sitting indoors with his clothes neatly dressed, which looked very much like suicide.
The third elder said: "The mansion is heavily guarded by poison arrays. If it were an outsider...it would be difficult to kill Tang Yue without knowing it. Unless the murderer is..."
He didn't continue, but everyone understood.
It is difficult for outsiders to commit crimes freely in the Tang family. But if they are members of the Tang family, it is different.
If Tang Yue committed suicide, it is most likely that the crime was committed internally.
Or commit suicide.
Another fifth-grade monk said: "Third uncle, Tang Yue has a surly and dull personality. He is averagely popular in the house and has offended more than one person..."
What he meant was even more clear: it was a certain clan member who killed Tang Yue.
His tone was also very indifferent towards the deceased Tang Yue.
Others also think it makes sense.
For thousands of years, which generation has not committed murders and assassinations within the clan? It’s just that they rarely admit it to the outside world.
Tang Yue was a concubine, but he was also the eldest son. In addition, he was not very popular and had a gloomy personality, so his situation in the mansion was not good.
It's not surprising that he was plotted against by any of his siblings.
The third elder carefully observed Tang Yue's expression and found that before he died, his eyebrows were slightly raised, his mouth was smiling, and his expression was joyful. It seemed that he had done something good or something that made him proud.
Who is so happy before death?
Could it be that he had given up on the human world and was freed from the sea of suffering, so he regarded death as home and passed away with a smile on his face?
"It's like self-annihilation." The third elder made a preliminary conclusion, "My brothers in the Tang family are respectful, harmonious, and have strict family rules. Is there any chance of killing each other in the house?"
"In this matter, let's plan to commit suicide and report it to the head of the family. It should be suicide. As for the investigation... there will probably be no results. Don't take it too seriously, lest you really find out something... The head of the family and everyone will not be easy to deal with."
This is the sorrow of a concubine from a noble family.
Not only was Tang Yue a concubine, but he also had no mother or uncle, nor any compatriots from the same mother and father. He was completely helpless in the family.
Even his biological father, Tang Xu, ignored him.
If the person who died today was a legitimate son, even a legitimate son from several other families, then there would definitely be a thorough investigation.
If the person who died was the crown prince or the family head's favorite child... then it would be even more necessary to get to the bottom of it.
A few years ago, their legitimate daughter Tang Tian was raped and murdered outside. The Tang family almost searched the entire Shu County.
As for Tang Yue... let's forget it.
Besides, even if Tang Yue did not commit suicide, those who plotted against him were probably his peers.
In Tang Yue's generation, there are dozens of young masters and ladies who are within the bloodline of the third server alone. If the bloodline of the fourth server is included, there are hundreds of people in this generation!
So many people are suspected, how to investigate?
The third elder even murmured in his heart, what if his grandson did it? His grandson also looked down on Tang Yue, and the two had a quarrel.
If we conduct a detailed investigation, if we find out that our grandson is involved...
Soon, the news of "Tang Yue's suicide" spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
………
"Tang Yue committed suicide?"
In Jade Courtyard, Su Chuo and Luo Li were a little surprised when they learned about Tang Yue's suicide.
Immediately, the soon-to-be aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other and smiled, their hearts were as clear as a mirror.
"It's not strange for a big family." Su Chuo said, "When I was a child, I remember that there was a murder case in Su Mansion. A concubine died, but it was ruled as suicide."
Luo Li sneered: "The Tang family is very hypocritical. Except for my mother and Aunt Xiang, there are not many good people. What does the truth mean? Their face and the reputation of the Tang family are important."
"My uncles are nice to me on the surface, but that's because I am a beast-controlling spirit. But as soon as I mentioned that I wanted to practice poison, my uncles pretended not to hear."
"You don't let me learn, but you expect me to treat them as one of my own, haha."
Su Chuo flipped up his hair, "The poisonous way is the foundation of the Tang family and is kept secret. You are just a niece, how can you be allowed to practice it?"
Luo Li showed a sly smile, "You can't stop luck when it comes, and there is a bright future in the village. The Tang family didn't let me learn the poison way, but I searched for the "Nine Poison Manual" from Tang Yue's natal Gu.
…”
Even the direct disciples of the Tang family found it difficult to get access to the "Nine Poisons Manual", but Luo Li got it.
Tang Yue spent many years using Can's secret skills to gather the "Nine Poisons Manual", but in the end, she got an advantage.
"Li'er." Su Chuo said solemnly, "You must not practice the "Nine Poisons Manual" in the Tang family. This matter is of great importance to the Tang family. If they find out that the scripture has been leaked..."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry." Luo Li patted the back of Su Chuo's hand, "Let's practice again when we return to Longcuo City. I'm not very interested in the poison path. I mainly want to give it to my brother."
"There are also secrets about the ruins of the Can clan, which will definitely be useful to my brother."
Su Chuo couldn't help but sigh: "Brother You, it's really enviable to have such a sister."
Both of them are sisters, but she considers herself inferior to Luo Li.
Luo Li always thinks about his brother in every good thing.
But she herself... although she also admired Su Xian, she was thinking more about Luo Ning now.
"By the way, sister-in-law." Luo Li suddenly thought of this, "What were we talking about before? Oh, how did you know that guy is the son of Mrs. Huadie?"
Su Chuo didn't hide anything, "Lu Pianpian told me that Mrs. Huadie once had a son who later disappeared. Later, the Zhensi Cult found out that her son should be in the Tang family."
"When Tang Yue appeared, he was wearing a mask with a silkworm face. I also have this mask, which is your brother's trophy. This mask is related to the Can family of the ancient Shu royal family."
"So, I immediately concluded that the old man Tianchong might be a descendant of the Can family."
"The shape of his mask is a bit like a butterfly, and it reminds me of Can's 'rebirth as a butterfly'... combined, he is probably the son of Mrs. Butterfly."
Luo Li nodded, "It's indeed a match."
"This Tang Yue is not the real Old Celestial Chong. The real Old Celestial Chong should have died long ago."
Su Chuo said: "Li'er, the Tang family is unreliable. This is not a place to stay for a long time. We'd better leave as soon as possible and return to Longcuo City. It's safest to be in our own home."
"Okay!" Luo Li clapped his hands, "I've wanted to go see Brother for a long time! I miss Brother! Although Tang Mansion is like a palace, I don't want to stay there for a day!"
"I hope my mother will go with me. If she wants to stay with her parents, I will leave alone."
Su Chuo warned: "Your cultivation has suddenly been raised to the seventh level of perfection, which will definitely arouse the Tang family's suspicion. Can you..."
Luo Li smiled, and she immediately communicated with the captured silkworm Gu, concealed her cultivation level, and became an eighth-grade perfection again.
She is a beast-controlling spirit, and she has silkworm Gu at this time, which can actually hide her true cultivation aura.
Just as Luo Li's seventh-grade perfect aura was hidden, a familiar voice came from outside the hospital:
"Cousin Li'er, I heard you are here, can I come in?"
When Luo Li heard this, he knew it was his fourth cousin Tang Ke who was greedy for money.
Luo Li frowned, "What's going on with fourth cousin?"
Tang Ke's voice was very gentle, "Well, it's nothing big. I need to do something, and I'm only short of one hundred thousand taels of gold. I won't be able to get it together in a while, so I asked my cousin to lend me one hundred thousand."
"No, no!" Luo Li's face sank, and he said impatiently, "Your cousin is not a cash cow, no!"
There was silence outside the hospital for a while, and Tang Ke's voice sounded again:
"Cousin, please think twice. If I am short of this one hundred thousand taels, things will not go as planned. If things do not go as planned, I will be in a bad mood. If I am in a bad mood, I will not be able to act with my cousin."
Luo Li said angrily: "Then we won't act! Old Man Tianchong wants to harm me, and it has nothing to do with you! Huh, I can't afford to offend him and I can't afford to hide!"
"I'm leaving tomorrow! I won't play at your house anymore!"
