The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1322 Massacre Night, Doctor Shi and Leng Jizhen Brothers Encounter

Yun Mujiu did not act as a completely indifferent passerby, but took the initiative to participate and told everyone that she and Ye Wang had also investigated and obtained the key clues to the demise of the Leng family.

On the outskirts of Beihan Capital, there is a huge corpse pit hidden in the dense mountains and forests.

The hall was completely silent. The Fifth Prince Ye Chuhe, the Seventh Prince Ye Chufeng, the Tenth Princess Ji Ling, the two sons of the Northern Realm Ling Family, members of the Meng Family, and Prince Gu all wore solemn expressions. The Crown Prince's face was pale, while the Third Prince Ye Chudi wore a stern expression. The envoys from the two Northern Han princesses had the most sullen expressions of anyone present.

When Leng Jizhen heard Yun Mujiu's additional words, tears welled up in his eyes, and he continued speaking.

He was also dragged onto a cart that night, the burned remains of his family and guards still clinging to his broken body.

The heavy rain that night and the bumpy cart carrying the corpse on the rugged mountain road also woke him up from his deathbed.

He dared not make a sound, and later fought desperately to climb out of the mass grave. Because he was poisoned, seriously injured, and suffered a huge physical and mental blow, he eventually fainted on the roadside and was rescued by a kind-hearted person.

Because his face was completely disfigured, no one recognized him. He was devastated and hadn't recovered from the shock, temporarily forgetting what had happened to him. When he finally remembered, he was overcome with grief, his mind filled with thoughts of revenge.

This strong obsession for revenge was what kept him alive for so many years.

As soon as Leng Jizhen finished speaking, Wei Song and Wei Bai immediately came forward, each holding a tray, which was filled with evidence found in the Ye Palace.

There were portraits of Leng Jizhen in his youth, documents documenting the division of the Leng family's assets by various factions, including the Northern Han Emperor, records of the conspiracy between Divine Doctor Wu and his lackeys, and account books showing the rapid rise of the Wu family after the Leng family was exterminated, taking over the Leng family's former business territory and foundation. And then there were also a pair of old, deformed bracelets...

Wei Bai said solemnly: "Our people found many corpses in a deep mass grave outside the Beihan capital. They belong to the entire Beihan Han family. There were some fragments of clothes that were not completely rotted at the scene, but there were no other valuable things. It can be seen that even if the Leng family members died, their last valuable items were taken away. Those people are simply beasts!" They want everything from the dead. They are so greedy and disgusting.

Wei Song said seriously, "Of course, our people also discovered a key thing. At the bottom of the corpse pit, there are two young corpses. Next to them, we found a pair of lotus bracelets. These symbols are the identity symbols of the future heirs of the Leng family. In other words, the identities of the two corpses are actually the children of Leng Jiyuan, the head of the Leng family."

Leng Jizhen also took up the topic, confirming that what the two people said was correct: "My nephew and niece were the first to be thrown in, so they were at the bottom of the pit, and I was thrown in later, so I had the opportunity to climb out of the pit."

There was a solemn and heavy atmosphere inside the court. At this time, most people were no longer just watching the show, but had adopted a serious and correct attitude.

"Leng Jizhen is the cousin of the original heir of the Leng family. He has been living in hiding in Beihan for many years."

"The Leng family was not destroyed by natural disasters but by man-made disasters."

"The remains of the entire Leng family were hastily buried in the suburbs, including Leng Jiyuan's two children, and a pair of lotus bracelets engraved with the word 'Leng'."

These shocking and horrific past events were eventually revealed.

Doctor Shi hid in the corner, huddled together, trying hard to suppress the surging emotions in his chest and not scream. In fact, he had always known the outcome in his heart: all his family members died, including his wife, his son, and his daughter.

But he had never seen the remains of these people with his own eyes, and subconsciously he was unwilling to believe the cruel truth that all his relatives had left him. So he kept deceiving himself by thinking that maybe, maybe, his family members had survived by chance like him.

On that rainy night, he was poisoned and seriously injured, and watched helplessly as countless men in black holding cold knives slashed at his relatives.

At that time, the man in black and his family thought he was dead, but they didn't expect that he would suddenly wake up at a later moment.

All around him, flames were already rising to the sky. He cried out to the others, but no one responded. The Leng family was completely dead, and he was the family's only hope. He had only one thought in mind: to survive, to survive, to seek revenge.

His determination to survive gave him courage. So, at this dark moment, he found the switch to an underground passageway that the Leng family's ancestors had once built in their mansion. He rushed all the way, and just as he was about to collapse, he found the passageway to the underground passageway and hid inside...

To this day, he still has some scars from knife wounds and burns on his body.

At this moment, Doctor Shi, despite years of medical practice, had never felt so badly ill. His heart, liver, and lungs ached, and he felt as if he had contracted an incurable disease. His entire body felt uncomfortable. His recollections of the past ended there, and he dared not continue. His cousin's accusatory voice continued to echo in his ears.

For a moment, Doctor Shi wanted to step forward and publicly admit that he was, in fact, the head of the Leng family. He wanted to stand in court with his only relative in the world and accuse all those who had murdered them of their ugly faces.

But reason ultimately restrained his words and actions. He didn't dare speak, nor did he dare step out. He knew that if his true identity was exposed, the new life he had finally started after years of hiding in Zhongyue would be destroyed. And he wouldn't have a good ending.

More importantly, he could not be completely sure that his brother's accusation today would be absolutely successful. He had to keep a backup plan. In case his brother failed, he would have to lurk in Zhongyue and continue to fight for revenge.

Doctor Shi was ultimately unable to take that step, but Leng Jizhen on the other side regained his spirits and continued to appeal for the justice he had wanted for many years.

Once upon a time, in the process of striving to find the truth, he encountered many difficulties and wanted to end his life countless times, because there was nothing left in this world worth clinging to, so what was the point of living as a useless person?

Many times, whenever he wanted to end his life, he would recall those beautiful or tragic past events, especially that rainy night when his entire family was tragically killed by the assassin's cold sword and burned by fire. The scene was engraved in his heart forever.

He thought that he would never be able to get out of this situation in his lifetime...
