We hid outside and didn't dare to make a sound, we had already guessed that the Ling family was hiding a lot of secrets, but we never expected it to be related to the necklace I was wearing.

"Dad, I just found Lu Qiao's tomb, I found something inside." Ling Zhihan's voice was calm.

"What did you find?" Ling Ran asked cautiously.

"Hua Xishuang came to you, I hope you will cooperate in exploring the feng shui of Lu Qiao's cemetery, I have checked the records about Lu Qiao, but I saw the inscription engraved with Lu Qiao's life in the tomb, a large part of which we don't know." Ling Zhi said to Ling Ran with a cane. "Lu Qiao was transferred to the superintendent of Dongchang in Chongzhen for three years, and until his death, he was always in charge of the largest power institution at that time."

"Lu Qiao is the overseer of the East Factory? No, I also participated in the investigation of Lu Qiao, and it was recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty that the overseer of Dongchang at that time should not be Lu Qiao. ”

"Hundreds of years ago, how many truths and falsehoods can be recorded in a history book, not to mention that these are all inscriptions engraved in Lu Qiao's tomb, people are about to die, and their words are good, why should people who are going to die tamper with their lives."

"Speaking of which, this Lu Qiao's background is not small, and the overseer of Dongchang was above 10,000 people under one person at that time."

"This is the strange place, the inscription is mutilated, and many of the contents are unrecognizable, but the person who was transferred to Lu Qiao as the overseer of Dongchang was not the emperor at that time, but a person who was called the lord by Lu Qiao."

"Who is this lord?" Ling Ran looked a little surprised.

"I don't know, it's not mentioned in the inscription, it seems that Lu Qiao is deliberately covering it up, but this is not what surprised me the most." Ling Zhihan looked at Ling Ran with a calm expression. "Dad, you can remember Ling Wuchen."

"Ling Wuchen!" Ling Ran nodded without thinking, raising his hand and pointing to the enshrined god seat. "He is one of the ancestors of the Ling family, during the Tomorrow Apocalypse, the sect master of the Ling family, and the only sect master of the Ling family who has not been buried in the sect, why did you suddenly ask about this."

"We found a dark room in Lu Qiao's tomb, which was full of piles of documents, which must be very important to Lu Qiao, and these documents all only record one thing, from Lu Qiao's appointment as the governor of Dongchang until his death, he has spared no effort to track down the whereabouts of several people, and Gu Chaoge They saw a record about Ling Wuchen in one of the documents."

"What does the paperwork say?" Ling Ran asked eagerly.

"In the tenth year of Chongzhen, that is, two years before Lu Qiao's death, he was transferred to Suzhou to supervise, but secretly instructed Dongchang Fanzi to arrest Ling Wuchen."

"Ling Wuchen was captured by Lu Qiao?!" Ling Ran was taken aback.

"It is recorded in the document that not only was he arrested, but also tortured to extract a confession, as if he hoped to get some secret from Ling Wuchen's mouth, until finally Ling Wuchen was beaten to death, and confided two words before he died."

"Those two words?"

"Vientiane."

"Vientiane?!" Ling Ran frowned, took a few steps back with his hands behind his back, and looked a little dazed.

"Dad, do you know what Vientiane means?" Ling Zhihan asked seriously.

"I don't know, it's the first time I've heard these two words." Ling Ran shook his head and replied. "What else does the paperwork say?"

"After Lu Qiao learned these two words, he ordered the execution of all the people involved in the interrogation, and these two words were not mentioned in the documents, and I still don't know whether Vientiane is a place name or a person's name, and why Lu Qiao will do whatever it takes to force our ancestors of the Ling family."

Ling Ran sighed heavily, looked at the shrine enshrined in the ancestral hall, and told Ling Zhihan in a low voice: "Although I don't know what Vientiane means, I have heard a little from your grandfather's mouth about what you said. ”

"Grandpa, what did he tell you?" Ling Han's voice was anxious.

"At that time, I was still young, and it was also in this ancestral hall, your grandfather told me that the reason why the Ling family has been beautiful for hundreds of years is because of the secret art of feng shui passed down from generation to generation, and we have the lifeblood of the world in our hands, even the emperors of previous dynasties have to give three points, with the only exception......" Ling Ran frowned worriedly. It's the period you see in Lu Qiao's books. ”

"What the hell happened then?"

"After the apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, the power of the East Factory was tilted towards the government and the opposition to cover the sky with one hand, the Ling family was originally far away from the temple, there was no right or wrong, but after all, it was difficult to be alone, Ling Wuchen took over as the suzerain not long after, the Ling family was unscrupulously searched by the East Factory, and Ling Wuchen was taken away, so that the corpse capital was not found in the last year." Ling Ran looked at Ling Zhihan with a solemn face. "In fact, at that time, the Ling family died not only the sect master Ling Wuchen, Dongchang bloodied the Ling family, and almost killed the whole door, the Ling family was greatly injured in that purge, and it was a disaster to destroy the door, but Dongchang suddenly evacuated, and the Ling family escaped by luck."

"I think it was the ancestor Ling Wuchen who was thoughtful for the Ling family, and finally had to reveal something to Lu Qiao, it was Lu Qiao who instructed the East Factory, and it was the mysterious lord who controlled everything behind the scenes, if I guessed correctly, what Lu Qiao wanted to ask was the secret that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Ling family's sect master." Ling Zhihan took a deep breath and said. "It seems that Ling Wuchen still told Lu Qiao in the end."

"When your grandfather told me about this, it was when he tattooed that pattern on my back, and repeatedly told me that this pattern must not be known to outsiders, otherwise the Ling family will be destroyed sooner or later."

"Dad, there is another thing that is very strange, Lu Qiao has always been ordered by the person called the lord, although I didn't find out who the lord was in the tomb, but I saw a portrait, Lu Qiao was respectful to the person in the portrait until he died, and even in the coffin, he worshipped the five bodies on the ground, presumably the person in this portrait should be the lord." Ling Zhihan walked up to Ling Han and said. "You may not believe that the person in that portrait is exactly the same as Gu Chaoge."

"It's the same as Gu Chaoge?!" Ling Ran looked up in shock, his face full of confusion. "How can a person from hundreds of years ago look exactly like him?"

"This is not the key, think about it, Hua Xishuang asked our Ling family to assist the people she sent to find Lu Qiao's tomb, saying that it was for a pine bottle, but there is a portrait similar to Gu Chaoge in the tomb, and there are records related to the Ling family, a eunuch tomb involved two of us at the same time, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence." Ling Zhihan became unfazed, and her expression was calm. "I think this flower is not just for a pine bottle, if she has other plans, we should also make plans in advance, just in case."

I rarely care about the appearance of girls, but Ling Zhihan is indeed beautiful, with the grace and elegance unique to Jiangnan women, but it does not hinder her beauty in the city, but generally beautiful girls have never had brains, this concept was instilled in me by Fengcheng, and it has always been ingrained.

I felt the same way about Ling Zhihan, until I listened to the conversation between her and Ling Ran, this woman was thoughtful and showed her wisdom, but I was somewhat surprised.

What we are worried about, she has always been silent, she has long thought that it seems that I have underestimated this woman from this small family of jasper.

"Dad, Gu Chaoge They found a document recording the affairs of the Ling family in the tomb, I am worried that they will tear off the pages behind the book while they are unprepared, what do you think should be done?" Ling Zhihan took out a few pages from his body.

"The secrets of the Ling family can't be known to outsiders, these things can't be kept, and they will be burned for a hundred." Ling Ran replied cautiously.

I was shocked, if the Ling family is related to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, then the thing in Ling Zhihan's hand is likely to be a clue, I don't want to find any treasure ship, the necklace I am wearing was given to me by my father, and it is related to the Ling family, I have always wanted to track down the real murderer of my father, but I have been restrained by others, this may be my best chance to grasp the initiative, and I must not let Ling Zhihan destroy it.

"To lure Ling Ran away, we must know what Ling Zhihan tore off the pages of." I lowered my voice and said to Tian Ji.

Tian Ji comprehended, I was naturally relieved on his body, seeing that he was moving like a rabbit and dodged out, deliberately kicking out a sound, Ling Ran in the ancestral hall heard the sound outside, and was taken aback and hurriedly chased out.

Waiting for Tian Ji to lure Ling Ran away, Gong Jue and I immediately attacked the ancestral hall, and Ling Zhihan, who was unable to move, saw us suddenly appear, he was stunned at first, his eyes fell on the page in his hand, and he stretched out his hand to put it in the lantern.

Gong Jue rushed up with an arrow step, snatched the page from her hand, Ling Zhihan wanted to fight, but her leg injury was difficult to support and she almost fell, so I hurriedly hugged her.

"Give it back to me." Ling Zhihan fell into my arms, looking at the pages in the palace lord's hand with a panicked expression.

"I don't care about your Ling family's affairs, I just want to know about me." I held her up.

"You'd better not look, if my dad knows, he won't let you out of here." Ling Zhihan said to me with a flustered expression.

"In other words, I've heard too much about this, and the master is not scared."

Gong Jue quickly looked at the book friend in his hand, his face became more and more confused, and then handed it to me, Ling Zhihan knew that it would be useless to snatch it again, I looked at the record on it carefully, Lu Qiao tortured Ling Wuchen after he was captured, and Ling Wuchen revealed the word Vientiane before he died.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Lu Qiao personally led the team to lead more than 100 Dongchang Iron Cavalry, and went deep into Mobei with three Jinyi guards, chasing and killing the people he had been tracking down, and they found a place in Mobei.

The original text of the document reads as follows:

According to Ling Wuchen, a secret realm was found, and the eunuch ordered the eunuch to stay outside, and personally took the elite to go, and stayed alone for 27 days, and finally saw the lord return to the police, and more than 100 guards survived......

Ling Wuchen finally revealed a secret realm to Lu Qiao, I have read all the documents left by Lu Qiao, and I have never mentioned the lord, this is the first time I have seen it, it can be seen that this mysterious lord has been waiting for Lu Qiao to find out this secret realm,

It's a pity that the document didn't explain the specific location of the secret realm, and what surprised me was that there were more than 100 well-trained elites in Dongchang who followed this lord together, and no one survived, where did they find it, and what happened there?
