Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 247 Interrogation

At night, there were few people on the roads of Yunjing City. Ling Li had already prepared for it. There were no outsiders on the roads they passed.

Soon, they arrived at a big house.

Su Li looked up and saw that even in the dim moonlight, the word “Tang Mansion” was still shining.

Prime Minister Tang’s Mansion?!

Su Li was slightly shocked. Why did Ling Li come here with a great fanfare?

People of the Yinmo Cult didn’t hide their tracks, and people in the Prime Minister Tang’s Mansion soon found out the movement outside. When the yellow-bellied gatekeeper saw the crowd through the crack of the door, his face became pale with fear suddenly, and he went in to report immediately.

At this time, Ling Qinglan shouted outside the wall in a disguised voice. His voice sounded clear and loud.

“The Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult is coming. Come to meet quickly!”

Prime Minister Tang, who had been sleeping, was awakened. He had no time to put on his clothes. He opened the door only in a white lining, and the panic gatekeeper immediately fell in, “Master, there are many people in black outside surrounding the mansion!”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Tang had no panic on his wrinkled face because he had experienced two dynasties. He said, “Hurry up, arrange the madam and children to leave from the secret way!”

The butler smiled bitterly and said, “Master, the secret way collapsed a few days ago. It is repairing now. It’s hard to go out!”

“What?!”

Prime Minister Tang was frightened with his lips trembling. “When did it collapse? Why didn’t you tell me?”

The butler was at a loss, “Isn’t it your order to repair the secret way? Why…”

The Prime Minister Tang trembled and staggered. If the butler didn’t support him in time, he must be tumbled.

“Master, we…”

The butler was worried, but Prime Minister Tang shook his hands, and sighed, “I’m fine. Open the door to meet the guests.”

“Yes, Master.”

The butler ran to the gate frightenedly. Prime Minister Tang followed at slow steps without expression.

It was obvious that the guests came with preparation. They had no choice.

Rumble—

The tall and thick door was pushed by two gatekeepers, which made heavy noises. It was extremely piercing in the peaceful night.

Seeing that, Ling Li waved. The men who supported the carriage immediately came in. Ling Mo and Ling Qinglan stood on the two sides. This scene frightened the Prime Minister Tang.

There were two people in red in the carriage. He couldn’t see them clearly. But the two men on the sides were easy to recognize. They were two generals of the Yinmo Cult, Qinghu and Xuelou.

It was easy to know who was qualified to sit in the carriage.

He was the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult, Childe Li!

“I am the Prime Minister Tang. I am here to meet the Hierarch.”

The Prime Minister Tang said and kneeled with the support of the butler. The Hierarch was equal to emperor just like Dongfang Xiao. It was proper to bow down.

“Haha…”

Here came a cheerful laughter, and then a gentle voice sounded, “Sir Tang, stand up please. If Dongfang Xiao misunderstood about this, it would be terrible.

Hearing this, Su Li blinked and seemed to understand something.

Prime Minister Tang found that a force hindered him when he was kneeling down. Therefore, he immediately stopped and straightened up, but he was frightened.

What he feared wasn’t the force of Childe Li, but his intention!

There were so many people of the Yinmo Cult in the Tang Mansion. With the suspicious character of him, if the Dongfang Family knew that Dongfang Xiao would doubt why there were no casualties in the Tang Mansion, would the Tang Mansion have a good ending?

Ling Li noticed the expression change of Prime Minister Tang. His laughter was still the same as before, and he said slightly,

“Sir Tang, you are a wise person, so, I will tell you now. I’m here to ask you something. If I get a satisfactory answer, maybe I can keep your people safe.”

Prime Minister Tang snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, “You just set me up. How can I trust you?”

“No, no, no, you misunderstood me.”

Ling Li waved his hand, while Prime Minister Tang was in a panic at once. Ling Mo immediately rushed into the backyard with some men. After a scary scream, all the women in the Tang Mansion gathered in the front yard. With their bodies trembling, they were controlled by the Yinmo Cult.

Tang Lei shook his fat body most with rhythm. The young man beside him who looked one or two years younger than him was also frightened. Although he tried to be calm, his face looked as white as a piece of paper.

Su Li smiled lightly, thinking that if he kept shaking like this, Tang Lei might lose a lot of weight.

This time, Ling Li accurately seized the opportunity to intimidate Prime Minister Tang, and there was no possibility of failure. Therefore, Prime Minister Tang thought that “Hierarch Li” was like an evil man who killed people without consideration, but actually Ling Li wouldn’t kill anyone.

The Third Elder was watching Su Li all the time. Seeing her laugh, he felt relaxed and thought that she had some special remarkable advantages though she was just an ordinary woman. She could get used to the fights of the martial arts circle, which was good for the holy cult.

Prime Minister Tang looked pale, and he blamed himself that he wanted to make a deal with a devil.

It didn’t matter that he died singly, but if all the lineal family in Tang Mansion were killed by the Yinmo Cult, there would be no generations of the Tang Family. How could he meet their ancestors of the Tang Family?

Soon, Prime Minister Tang stopped struggling inside and got relaxed. He said, “What do you want to ask?”

“Sir Tang is really a wise man.”

Ling Li praised and asked, “14 years ago, the Yi Family was extinguished thoroughly. Mr. Tang should know much about that thing when you were the Minister of the Ministry of Penalty.”

Hearing the words of “14 years ago”, “Ministry of Penalty”, and “Yi Family”, Prime Minister Tang was frightened. Because these words were prohibited to talk about.

Tang Lei saw Prime Minister Tang confusedly. His grandpa was the Minister of the Ministry of Penalty. Why didn’t he know that?

“There was no relationship with your cult. Why are you interested in a thing happened 14 years ago?” Prime Minister Tang took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked.

“I don’t need a reason to do anything. If I need, you don’t need to know. It’s wise to tell me the killer because I’m in a good mood now.”

Ling Li was so overbearing that he clearly looked down upon anyone in Prime Minister Tang’s Mansion.

The young man next to Tang Lei was extremely angry. But he knew it’s bad to quarrel.

With his power, it was normal for the man to be so arrogant.

Prime Minister Tang was silent and he struggled inside.

Ling Li repeatedly stopped Ling Qinglan to ask and he decided to wait patiently. They should be patient. If people of the Tang Mansion found something wrong, they would fail.

Prime Minister Tang was in a complex mood. He looked at the madam and children, whose faces were full of hope. If Dongfang Xiao knew that he had said it, his family would die out, and he would be found guilty of treason, which would implicate the whole family!

“Sir Tang, you’d better think clearly. If you don’t say it, you will also be hated by the Dongfang Family. Also, I will make trouble secretly, so, you can imagine the result. But if you cooperate actively with me, it will be different…”

Ling Li continued to persuade him, and these words also revealed the real situation of Prime Minister Tang.

Right!

Dahan Country had already realized the power of the Yinmo Cult for a long time. If they gave enormous publicity to this thing, he would break his promise in front of Dongfang Xiao!

He was not subject to the Dongfang Family. He kept the secret to protect his family. In this case, he would die if he didn’t say!

“I will tell you!”

After making the choice, Prime Minister Tang felt relieved and relaxed, “I believe you, Hierarch Li. You are well-known in the martial arts circle, and you will not lie to me.”

“You made a good choice!”

Ling Li chuckled and motioned to Ling Mo to take all the people of the Tang Mansion to the backyard and monitor them.

At the same time, he took Su Li’s hands and got off the carriage. The red clothes they wore were as bright as the fire, which made them looked like newlyweds.

“Madam, you are here. I am really frightened.”

Prime Minister Tang saluted her with respect. It was said that Childe Li had no wife. So, he was the first outsider to know the information. Naturally, a sense of honor occurred in his heart.

Su Li nodded gently to respond. Her cold response was expected by Prime Minister Tang.

The Third Elder also nodded to himself. It was rare that a mortal of Dahan Country could be so calm facing the prime minister of a country. Even if she met Dongfang Xiao, her response would not humiliate the cult. This behavior was worthy of the identity as the female owner of the holy cult.

Soon, Prime Minister Tang, Ling Li and Su Li sat in front of the court. In addition to Ling Qinglan standing behind Ling Li and listening carefully, Ling Mo and the Third Elder did not come in. They guarded the door in case of accidents.

“What lovebirds you are!”

When Prime Minister Tang saw Ling Li was reluctant to loosen his hands, he sighed. He was sure to tell the secret. Even if he was facing the notorious devil, he didn’t afraid of him.

Ling Li coughed on purpose and agreed with the Prime Minister Tang. He didn’t dare to see Su Li’s reaction and then he said, “Sir Tang, let’s talk about the Yi Family.”

“Okay.”

Prime Minister Tang did not notice that Ling Li was embarrassed. He began to talk with misery in his eyes, “I had kept this secret for 14 years. It was time to make it public now. In order to live, I made a selfish choice at that time. But… General Yi was open and aboveboard all his life. He shouldn’t die without a reason!”
