Chapter 675: Dying
"You're finally willing to show up. Fan Yun stared at Ning Yi.
Ning Yi looked at Fan Yun lightly, "Lord Fan's last words, I have to come and listen to them." β
Fan Yun closed his eyes and took a breath, "You are not from the Holy Gate. β
The corners of Ning Yi's mouth hooked slightly, and his face was nonchalant, "The people of the Fan family are going to die, who am I, does it matter?"
"You are the Yang family. Fan Yunqi said in an affirmative tone, "In the past two days, I have pondered in my heart about all the people in the Yang family who have names and surnames and are related, and I found that I had neglected one person at the beginning. Are you surnamed Ye? You are the cousin who came to the capital from Jiangnan and defected to the Yang family!"
Ning Yi didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
"It turned out to be you!It turned out to be you!" Fan Yun laughed sadly, "I thought that with Yang Xu's upright temperament, it was impossible to teach a child of the Yang family who would enter the palace as a eunuch and insult the lintel of the Yang family, so I ignored your identity in the first place." I didn't expect it to be a big mistake in this life!"
"I am not a child of the Yang family, and if I don't enter the ancestral tomb of the Yang family after death, I can't humiliate the lintel of the Yang family. Ning Yi said indifferently.
"All this you did was to avenge the Yang family, that's right, right?"
"These are your last words?" Ning Yi finished speaking, turning around to leave.
"Stop!" Fan Yun pounced, grabbed the fence tightly with both hands, and stared at Ning Yi's back through the gap, "You want to avenge the Yang family, and you missed a key person." β
Ning Yi paused, turned around and looked at Fan Yun, thoughtfully, "Do you want to drag someone on your back before Lord Fan dies?"
Fan Yun ignored Ning Yi's taunt and said to himself: "At the beginning, before Your Majesty decided to eradicate the Yang family, he recruited Yang Xu into the palace. His Majesty asked him who the Lord of the world had chosen by the Holy Gate. His Majesty asked this question, in fact, he wanted to test him, if the answer he gave was His Majesty today, and promised to let the Holy Gate Shizong be loyal from now on, maybe the ending of the Yang family would be different. β
Ning Yi said: "Although Taishi Yang has some relationship with the Holy Gate, he is not the master of the Holy Gate, why does His Majesty have this question today?"
Fan Yun chuckled when he heard this, and no longer concealed it, "Your revenge has already been avenged, and now Fan has nothing to dare to admit." That's right, it was I who made it clear to His Majesty the master-apprentice relationship between Yang Xu and the current Holy Lord of the Holy Gate. Guess what Yang Xu answered at that time?"
Ning Yi didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that with Yang Taishi's person, eighty percent would not answer according to Emperor Tiancheng's intentions.
Fan Yun said: "Yang Xu is an upright person, he doesn't want to involve the people of the Holy Gate, and he refuses to bully the king. After listening to His Majesty's questioning, he only kowtowed to ask for guilt, and also advised His Majesty not to listen to rumors from outside, saying that the people of the world would only remember the Ming Monarch who brought them a stable life, and would not care who the Holy Gate had chosen. However, His Majesty was not satisfied with his answer, but decided in his heart that he and the Holy Gate had always supported the King of Jin. And the little apprentice that Yang Xu was dedicated to defending, the Holy Gate Holy Lord, not only did not say anything about this, but also hid in the shadows and watched his mentor's family go to Huangquan. If he had been willing to stand up and express his obedience, the Yang family would not have ended up like that, do you think this Lord of the Holy Gate is ungrateful and wolf-hearted?"
Ning Yi glanced at Fan Yun: "Having said so much, does Lord Fan know the true identity of the Holy Gate Holy Lord?"
Fan Yun: "I guessed something. β
"What does Master Fan want to exchange with me for this person this time?"
Fan Yun was silent for a moment, "The Fan family's descendants have all been folded in your hands, this is my Fan Yun's retribution, Fan has already accepted his fate." Please also raise your noble hand and let go of the Fan family's side branches, they have nothing to do with the Yang family's affairs. β
"It's just a swarm of ants, let it go. Ning Yi responded indifferently.
Only then did Fan Yun speak: "I guess that the Holy Gate Holy Lord is from ...... Mujia. β
This answer made Ning Yi a little surprised, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Fan Yunqiang said this, the spiritual qi in his body had almost been lost, leaned against the prison door, and said with half-closed eyes: "I have been fighting with the Mu family for most of my life, and my understanding of the Mu family is no shallower than that of my own family. Don't look at the Mu family now, it seems that the days are not as good as back then, it is just Mu Rusong's old fox Taoguang's means to raise obscurity, he can deceive His Majesty and the people of the world with this trick, but he can't deceive me. As long as this old thing doesn't die, the Mu family won't fall so easily. Looking at the whole capital, there is only one Mu family who has the ability to hide the identity of the Holy Gate and the Holy Lord so impermeable. β
"Do you suspect the Mu family, is there any other basis?" Ning Yi asked.
Fan Yun shook his head, "This is the old man's speculation, believe it or not, it's all up to you." β
After Fan Yun said this, he didn't seem to have any extra energy to wrestle with Ning Yi, slowly closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
Ning Yi took one last look at Fan Yun, left the Criminal Prison Division, and went to see He Linwan.
"Fan Yun said that the Holy Gate Holy Lord is the Mu family?" He Linwan asked with a deep groan.
Ning Yi: "Well, how much do you think you can believe it?"
He Linwan thought for a while, "If the Holy Lord is really a member of the Mu family, there is one person who does. β
"You mean Mu Zhizhen of the Mu family?" Ning Yi also went through the people up and down the Mu family on the way here, so he immediately knew who He Linwan was talking about.
He Linwan nodded, "Mu Zhizhen also moved the capital because of his talent when he was young, but he left Beijing when he was famous, went out to study for a few years, and after he came back, there was no more fame, which is really suspicious." β
"So in the years when he left Beijing, he was actually secretly hiding beside Old Master Yang?"
"It's not impossible. However, what came out of Fan Yun's mouth could not be fully believed. It's too late for him to hate you now, how can he be so kind to mention you this? It is said that the safety of the Fan family's side branch is an exchange condition......" Speaking of this, He Linwan smiled mockingly, "I can't even protect my wife, son, and grandson, where can I still have the strength to protect others? He told you the identity of the Holy Gate, the truth is not known, but eighty percent has another purpose. β
"Then the Mu family still checks?" Ning Yi didn't care about the authenticity.
"Of course we have to investigate!" He Lin said later, "We have to find out the Holy Gate Holy Lord quickly, since we have clues, why not investigate?"
"Got it. Ning Yi nodded.
He Linwan said: "Don't worry about this matter for now, I'll let Li Yu's people investigate." The Jin Wangfu had a lot of relationship with the Mu family at the beginning, so let his people check it out, and get twice the result with half the effort. β
Ning Yi subconsciously frowned when he heard this, "Why bother outsiders?"
Hu Yao was coming in from outside, wanting to pay tribute to He Linwan, but he happened to hear a sentence, and he was immediately unhappy, "Our master is Miss He's fiancΓ©, if you want to talk about outsiders and insiders, why can't it be my master's turn to be this outsider, right?"
