Chapter 884 The Last Question (Part 2)
In the room, Li Ling had been sitting for a long time with his eyebrows frowned.
It was dark, and Li Moyun went over and called twice, but he had no intention of eating, and his expression did not slow down. Since the Liu brothers left in anger, he showed this solemn and thoughtful look.
After all, I was a little careless and showed such a big flaw, but I never thought about making up for it. I even had a whimish earlier intention to hide this matter, which really made everyone in the world a fool.
Li Ling smiled a little self-deprecatingly, feeling a little scared. If the Liu brothers hadn't pointed out the matter in anger, he would have thought that Li Tong's incident was a secret to outsiders. But in fact, the incident of Li Tong and himself being father and son, and the elder of Luo Tian Cult, would have been known to many people for a long time.
There are so many people around me, although some are loyal and courageous confidants who are willing to sacrifice their lives for me, but at the same time, there are naturally outsiders' suspicion among those guards. So as early as when I took down Li Tong, the inside story of the father-son relationship between the two was controlled by those who were interested and passed on. I am afraid that many people in the court now know the matter, and then everyone is waiting for them to make mistakes...
Li Ling really felt a little chilling on his back at this time. When he thought that everything was in control and was already planning how to save Li Tong - after all, he was the biological father of this body, and the father of his sister and Yue'er, he really couldn't make up his mind to kill him - in fact, someone had already expected this and waited for him to make a big mistake, so he took this opportunity to kill himself.
But the problem is that even if you really see this, what if you know that you can't show mercy to Li Tong? After bringing people back to the capital, can you really implicate yourself? Those people, those enemies who have been offended by themselves for many years but have no chance to return them, such as the prince and others, will they miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
This dynasty governs the world with loyalty and filial piety, and speaks of loyalty for ministers and filial piety for his sons. Although he took down Li Tong because of his loyalty and filial piety, he was really spread, but he might not be able to say anything good. At that time, he would be rumored to be guilty of persecuting his father for wealth, fame and fortune, and his reputation in the court and the country would be completely over.
Even without these consequences, Li Tong was convicted and died, and Li Ling could not escape the relationship. Even if the emperor did not pursue the matter, he was still willing to use Li Ling, the son of the elder of Luotian Sect. But the problem is that once the father dies, will Ding You be the son who is not allowed to be filial to Ding You?
Once he truly follows this etiquette system that has been around since ancient times, Li Ling will have to go back to his hometown. At that time, he will have no official position and any other position to protect himself or help King Ying Sun Bi compete for the throne with the prince. After three years of mourning, the daylily will probably be cold.
After thinking about this, Li Ling had to admit that Li Tong was his biggest hidden danger and problem, and even surpassed any trouble and crisis in the past.
"Everyone says that my son cheated his father the most, but why did I always get cheated by my father as a son? And he got more harshly at the same time?" Li Ling showed a bitter smile on his lips. Li Tong's affairs were completely dead. At least he really couldn't come up with a proper solution.
However, he had already figured out one thing, that is, he must not hide anything in this matter, and he must not think of any way to save Li Tong, which would only completely trap him and never know how to die.
"Young Master..." Li Moyun's voice rang at the door again, but because he heard him talking to himself, he couldn't help but remind him again.
Li Ling also pulled his mind from his thoughts, stood up and said, "Let's go to the backyard."
"Does the young master want to see the elder sister and the others?" Li Moyun asked hurriedly, "Do you want me to arrange some food for you?"
"Hmm? No." Li Ling shook his head. This time he returned to Wuchang from Xiangfan, he naturally brought his sister and daughter with him. After moving into the yamen, he also placed them in the backyard. However, in addition to them, there was actually another person who was close to Li Ling who was placed, that is Li Tong.
Of course, unlike them, Li Tong was escorted. There were personal soldiers guarding him inside and outside the separate courtyard where he was, so no one was allowed to get close to him.
What Li Ling wanted to go to at this time was the small courtyard where Li Tong was. The person who tied the bell was to untie it. He still planned to talk about this with his cheap father.
Li Moyun's eyes dimmed a little, and then he agreed and accompanied Li Ling to the backyard. He asked again if he wanted to prepare food. However, at this time, Li Ling had no intention of eating. He just shook his head and went to the backyard by himself.
At this time, the first update was already in the morning. The weather was a little cooler at the end of August. Li Tong was taken here to have nothing to do, so he just went to bed early. But his son called him in person, which made him a little dazed, but there was a smile on his face: "What, what are you thinking about? Do you want to tell me?
"If I still want to ask more secrets of the Holy Church from me, then I advise you to save money. Since I am the elder of the Holy Church, I have been prepared for martyrdom and will not disclose any secrets to you for life, even if you are my son."
Li Ling sat on the chair next to him casually and smiled reluctantly: "Don't worry, I came to see you today. I didn't think of asking for more things. Now the Luotian Sect is seriously injured. There are only one person left in the four elders, and the three guardians, two died and one left. There are other helmsmen, Chuanxiang and others who are also running away from death. No matter how hard it is to pose any threat to the stability of the world, why should I put this effort into it?"
This made Li Tong's face darker, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute. Indeed, after many failures, especially after Huguang's desperate attempt, it was really hard to make any progress. It is not easy to rely on an elder Kong to continue the incense of the Holy Sect, let alone others.
"Then what do you want to talk about?" After a moment, Li Tong said in a muffled voice.
"I just want to know why you joined the Luotian Sect, and you are so devoted. Just because my ancestors were Song minister Li Gang? This is too far-fetched. Moreover, according to what you said, grandfather and the ancestors earlier should be important figures in the Luotian Sect. But as far as I know, my Li family was considered a name and identity in Jiangcheng County before, but it has nothing to do with the Luotian Sect.
"Also, the most important point is why I wasn't you pulled into the Luotian Sect by you? No matter what, I am your son. Shouldn't you cultivate me early and instill in me many theories that should be overturned if the country of Yue is not upright? Why don't you have such an impression in my memory? Instead, you hide it in every way and let Yue'er and I die in our hometown?"
"Hmph, this naturally has my own reason, but it is related to the secret of the Holy Church, and I will not tell you the answer." Li Tong only said perfunctorily, his eyes drooping, and he didn't seem to want to communicate more with Li Ling. "And you said before, you are not my son Li Ling, but someone else takes over the body... So in this way, my choice is undoubtedly quite correct."
"Is that so? If I say that they are all lying to you, what do you think? I only care for my sister and Tangtang, and I will never harm them. Not only that, I will take good care of them in the future, send them to the capital, and live with my family. If my sister really wants to get married again in the future, I will find a good man for her and form a happy family. If I don't want to get married, I will raise her for the rest of my life. And Tangtang, I will treat her like a daughter, find a good son-in-law for her, and live a good life."
As Li Ling told this, the hostility in Li Tong's eyes slowly dissipated, and he became a little more joyful. However, he did not express his thoughts on this, but just nodded slightly to express his agreement, and did not ask about his arrangements.
At this time, Li Ling changed the subject and fell on him: "As for you... I had thought about using Li Dai Taozun's technique to change you out, and then place you in a place I can control, so that everyone in the world knows that you are still alive. This will be considered as my son's final filial piety. At the same time, kill the substitute and die without evidence. This will not only be loyal to the court, but also not let yourself be punished for the crime of father-killing.
"It's just a pity that my calculations can't be made after all, because your relationship with me has been found out long ago and I have reported to the capital. If I really do this, I will not say whether you can hide it smoothly, even if I am dead... After all, I have indeed offended too many people over the years, and too many enemies are looking for my flaws. I can't leave such a big hidden danger to myself...
"So I thought about it and weighed it for a long time, and finally I had to choose to hand you over to the court. I can no longer control your life or death."
"Hahaha... you really have the intention." Li Tong listened to Li Ling say this quietly, his face calmly, as if he had guessed that it would be like this. "I said that I had long been martyred, but I just died."
"Okay, since you can accept it, I have nothing to say." Li Ling sighed softly, nodded to the other party, got up and walked towards the door. It seemed as if he came today to make an explanation so that Li Tong could be mentally prepared.
Li Tong still didn't react much, but just looked at him pushing the door with a heavy look and walked out. In the depths of his eyes, a strange light seemed to flash by.
