Lei Bin glanced at the five Ling Zihe brothers, sneered, walked into the room without saying anything.

Those five brothers, seeing Lei Bin's face, also had stern faces, without any expression. Now that Ling Yan is dead, the Ling family is in a period of turmoil. For them, it is actually an opportunity.

Although Ling Zihe is the number one heir, it does not mean that he can completely control the Ling family by inheriting the earl title.

"Zihe, you're here." Just after entering the room, a man who looked 24 or [-] years old, with raw oily hair and noodles, who looked like he was drinking too much came to Lei Bin and said.

Lei Bin already knew this person, he was Xiao Yihui, the son of Ling Zihe's second uncle Xiao Qing.

This Xiao Yihui can be said to be Ling Zihe's best friend. The two are cousins, and they share similar tastes. They often spend time and wine together, and their relationship is extraordinary.

Therefore, Lei Bin immediately showed a more familiar look, and went inside together with Xiao Yihui.

"Where's Princess Yanran?" Lei Bin asked, not seeing Princess Yanran here.

"Xiao Qian has already sent her back. Now that the Ling family has such a big incident, there are many things to deal with, and I can't take care of Princess Yanran for the time being." Xiao Yihui said. [

Lei Bin nodded, knowing that this was actually a way to avoid suspicion.Now, it is the autumn of the Ling family's life and death, and it is always difficult for outsiders to discuss something here.

At this time, in the room, Ling Zihe's two uncles, Xiao Wei and Xiao Qing, were there, accompanying Xiao Yi, analyzing the matter.This incident can be said to be a great blow to the entire Ling family.

With these years of hard work, Ling Yan carried forward the strong foundation accumulated by generations of the Ling family, and brought the Ling family to a very high position. He himself is also the Chief Minister of the Interior, and he is highly regarded by Emperor Huangfuming in the empire.

But because Ling Yan competed with several other brothers for the title of Earl before, and most of the other brothers were killed, the Ling family became relatively weak. After Ling Yan died, the Ling family would have nothing to show for it.

Although Ling Zihe is already a Viscount, Ling Yan has also vigorously cultivated Ling Zihe these years, but Ling Zihe is still too young, and he is still very rich, and his prestige is not enough to suppress those retainers.

All of a sudden, a very prosperous family is likely to decline rapidly.

"Zihe, are you here?" Seeing Ling Zihe, Xiao Wei and Xiao Qing shouted together.When Xiao Yi saw Lei Bin coming back, her eyes became extremely soft immediately.

"Yes, uncle." Lei Bin called out respectfully.He knew that these two uncles had loved Ling Zihe very much since they were young, and they had a very close relationship with the Ling family.

At a time like this, the most reliable ones are these two uncles.

The title of the Xiao family is Marquis, which is one level higher than Ling Yan's title of earl. However, the power of the Xiao family is actually not as big as that of the Ling family.

This is also the reason why the Xiao family married Xiao Yi to Ling Yan.

Xiao Yi and the others' father died more than ten years ago, and now Ling Zihe's uncle Xiao Wei is the one who inherits the title of Marquis, and his second uncle Xiao Qing, as an assistant, has made the Xiao family very prosperous.

The two sons of the Xiao family were relatively harmonious, and they did not fight to the point of killing each other like the Ling family did.

"How is the investigation over there?" Xiao Wei stood up and asked.

Xiao Wei's age is about 50 years old, he is not very tall, he is shorter than Lei Bin, he has a very handsome face, black hair, eyes like bright stars, very energetic, obviously proficient in ancient martial arts.Today he was dressed in very easy-going casual clothes, obviously in a hurry. [

However, despite wearing such a suit of clothes, Xiao Wei's body also carried the aura of a superior, his eyes and movements all showed the aristocratic demeanor of an aristocratic family.

This kind of bearing is very difficult to pretend, only those who have been in a high position for a long time and pampered can have it.

Lei Bin was already familiar with their photos through Xingmeng, so he was no stranger to seeing them.

Looking at Xiao Wei, Lei Binnai shook his head and said, "I don't have any clues. I collected the monitoring records of my father's aircraft recently, and I didn't find anything too big."

"If you ask me, this incident must have been done by the Austin family. They have been enemies of the Ling family for generations, and they wish the Ling family would fall." At this time, Xiao Qing said with a cold light in his eyes.

Xiao Qing's temperament is obviously more irritable and impulsive than Xiao Wei's.He is much taller than Xiao Wei, and his figure is very slender. Although he is over 40 years old, it can be seen that when he was young, he must have been a suave and suave character.

"Not necessarily. There is absolutely no need for the Austin family to do this kind of thing now. Although they have been fighting with the Ling family, doing this kind of thing now is too eye-catching. Even His Majesty the Emperor will not tolerate it." Xiao Wei expressed a different opinion.

"That's right, His Majesty the Emperor will never allow this kind of thing. The Austin family will know it very well. This time, I think it might be done by an insider." At this time, Xiao Yi stood up with a serious face Said.

Normally, Xiao Yi looks like a gentle and virtuous housewife without too much opinion, but when something happened at home, Xiao Yi showed her heroine side, at this time, discuss with Xiao Wei and Xiao Qing Things are very calm and steady.

"Xiaoyi, you mean... from the Ling family?" Xiao Wei couldn't help frowning and asked after hearing what Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "I guess, it's very likely to be like this. If it's an outsider, even if there is a great grievance, there is no need to put him to death. Only the insiders can be so impatient."

"But now, there are only a few people in the Ling family. How dare Ling Ziyue and the others have such courage?" Xiao Wei couldn't help but wonder.

Ling Ziyue is Ling Zihe's elder brother and Ling Yan's eldest son, but Ling Ziyue is only born of a concubine, so his status in the family is not as good as Ling Zihe's.

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, and said: "Don't underestimate them, these children are not simple."

"Xiaoyi is right. According to the information we have, each of them has accumulated strength in the dark and is not stable. Before Ling Yan was there, I don't think they will pose any threat to Zihe. But now, it seems that Everything is hard to say." Xiao Wei said in a cold tone.

"Also... That Ling Wei, who has been forbearance for so many years, seems to have no ambitions, but who knows if he has any secret plans?" Xiao Yi said again.

"This Ling Wei... is really possible. I don't know why Ling Yan didn't kill him at the beginning, leaving such a trouble. If it was really Ling Wei who killed Ling Yan this time, then Ling Yan He will definitely die with regret." Xiao Qing snorted at this time, very dissatisfied that Ling Yan did not kill Ling Wei back then.

"Everyone has a side that they can't bear. Ling Wei is the side that Ling Yan can't bear." Xiao Yi said with a sigh.

"I'll send someone to investigate Ling Wei's current situation, including Ling Ziyue and the others, and get them under control first. Even if they didn't do this, we must beware of them, because they can treat Zihe A person who poses a threat." Xiao Wei said at this time.

"That's right, brother is right. I think the biggest problem right now is to ensure Zihe's safety and allow him to successfully inherit the title of earl. If it is really an insider, then this person's purpose should be aimed at the Ling family. Now, the most important thing is to keep this title." Xiao Yi looked at Lei Bin, her eyes were full of kindness, and said.

Xiao Yi is a sincere maternal love for Ling Zihe, and she always centers on Ling Zihe.

When Lei Bin saw Xiao Yi's eyes, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He had never experienced maternal love since he was a child. Now, seeing Xiao Yi's eyes, he really felt that it was a feeling that warmed his heart. The warm current makes you feel that it is a harbor you can rely on.

"It's just a pity that I killed her son, she must hate me very much, otherwise, I really want to honor her as my own mother." Lei Bin thought in his heart.

"That's right, the most important thing is to keep Zihe's title. Although the title doesn't mean everything, but if you inherit the title first, you can temporarily stabilize the situation. Those retainers won't be too fast. A different heart was born." Xiao Wei immediately agreed with what Xiao Yi said.

The earl of the Ling family is hereditary, that is, the title of the earl will always be inherited by the Ling family. The title of earl represents a kind of status, a kind of honor, and a kind of wealth.

The earl title of the Ling family has gone through ten generations of succession, accumulated over ten generations, the fiefdom is extremely vast, and the network is extremely large, even some marquises and dukes are far inferior.

The Xiao family and the Ling family are the biggest partners. Ling Zihe's succession to the title of Earl will be of great benefit to the Xiao family.

"Damn, I'm going to be an earl." Lei Bin rolled his eyes suddenly, he didn't expect that he would become an earl so soon after arriving in the empire.

Therefore, Xiao Yi, Xiao Wei, and Xiao Qing discussed together and quickly agreed on the issue of Ling Zihe's succession to the earl. As for how to help Ling Yan take revenge, how to hold a funeral, etc., they were all postponed.

Lei Bin could also see that Xiao Yi, Xiao Wei, and Xiao Qing didn't feel much sadness about Ling Yan's death, some just felt that Ling Yan's premature death was a big blow to the Ling family's power. blow.

The Ling family and the Xiao family were originally a political union, purely out of interests.Now that Ling Yan is dead, Ling Zihe will inherit the title of earl, which is more beneficial to the union of the two families.

After agreeing on these matters, Xiao Yi, accompanied by Ling Zihe, Xiao Wei, and Xiao Qing, met all the retainers, interest partners, etc. who came, and comforted them.

At this time, this kind of comfort is very necessary.The sudden death of a family patriarch is a time when a family is very easy to fall apart. If one is not well controlled, the Ling family's foundation will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Among these retainers, there are also many powerful ones, and they are also suspected.It's just that the real murderer cannot be found out now, and there is no way to target a certain person, but anyone must be suspected.
