Chapter 251 He is the end of the Lang family
"You are from the Lang family. You have helped the emperor find irrefutable evidence and investigate the crime without any trouble. You have made an invaluable contribution. It does not count as meritorious service while guilty. I think the emperor will reward you."
Ye Yin's words had made it very clear that Lang Qingmian's existence was the Lang family's backup plan for preserving their bloodline. Choosing to let him know everything they had done did not mean that he had no intention of looking for an opportunity for revenge, but Lang Qingmian strangled all of this in the cradle. This was a heavy blow to Lang Zhengde, but a touch to the emperor.
He has a chance!
"In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
"Somebody come!"
Ye Er responded and entered the house, "Send him to the palace to see the emperor immediately!"
"Yes!"
Lang Qingmian hadn't expected Ye Yin to send someone to escort him to the palace immediately, but he quickly figured it out. The longer the night, the more dreams there are! Furthermore, the King of Southwest and the Emperor should have discussed this long ago, and the Lang family's affairs were already under control.
I have to say that Lang Qingmian's brain is quite useful. His guess is completely correct. Ye Yin and Gao Changjun had already found out what the Lang family had done. The reason why they kept silent was that they wanted to see what other tricks Lang Zhengde had.
Now, the only surprise is Lang Qingmian.
No one expected that the Lang family would produce such a kind-hearted young man.
"I didn't realize you have a cold exterior but a warm heart."
Lin Yue came out from behind the screen and admired sincerely.
"Why? Do you think I'm too kind?"
Lin Yue shook her head. "No, you're right. So many people died in that rebellion, that's enough. The Lang family was just an accomplice. Even without them, the rebellion would still exist. Don't implicate innocent people!"
She was not from ancient times, and did not have the concept of collective responsibility. In ancient times, if one person made a mistake, the whole family would be implicated, and even the entire nine generations of the family would be punished. In her opinion, this was too cruel!
"You're more soft-hearted than me!"
He pulled her into his arms and handed her the booklet in his hand, "Take a look at this."
The two of them got together and finished reading the booklet given by Lang Qingmian.
"It turns out that Lang Zhengde has obtained so much information about the Chichi tribe. I don't know if he collected this information for his own selfish desires or for other purposes."
"It's not hard to guess, actually. If you consider his collusion with the rebels, you can see that he has great ambitions."
Ye Yin not only found out that Lang Zhengde was colluding with the rebels, but also found out that at the last moment of the defense of the capital, his men withdrew and hid. Those people hid in his manor, disguised as people from the manor, and could protect them and escape at the critical moment.
Unfortunately, the world is so big, it belongs to the king. Before his men could even move, they were controlled by the imperial guards!
"I just don't know how big of a surprise Lang Qingmian's actions will bring him."
"Power dazzles the eyes!"
Lin Yue sighed, and Ye Yin gently hugged her.
"Aren't you curious about what Lang Qingmian told you?"
Ye Yin had a purpose for sending him directly to the palace without asking him to convey the message.
“Sometimes, being too curious can be bad for you.”
Lin Yue felt the same way, and was not surprised that he could see things so clearly. He was capable, but he viewed everything as very indifferent. This was a kind of broad-mindedness, a clarity that others could not match.
In the early morning of the next day, the imperial guards surrounded the Lang residence, and all the members of the Lang family, except for their women and young son, were imprisoned.
This move shocked the capital, and for a while, everyone was speculating about what crime the Lang family had committed.
When the Ningyuan Marquisate received the news, Lin Chong locked himself in the study and refused to see anyone.
Lang had fainted from crying three times and knelt at the door of the study to beg Lin Chong, but he did not come out.
"Ruru, go and beg King Chen! We need to know what crime your grandfather's family committed and whether we can save them! Ru'er!"
Lin Ru had a sad face and was actually very upset. She was about to marry into Prince Chen's mansion, but at this critical moment, something happened in her grandfather's family!
"Mother, grandmother and the others are still in the mansion. I think the emperor should be investigating. Don't worry, we will slowly find a solution!"
Lang's face was filled with disbelief.
"Take your time to think of a solution. By the time you find one, it will be too late! Your grandfather loves you dearly. Go and ask Prince Chen for help. Prince Chen is the emperor's younger brother, so he can always see the emperor and plead for mercy!"
"Mother……"
Lin Ru stretched out her voice. Seeing that Lang's expression had changed, she could only perfunctorily say, "Mother, I'll go right away!"
Lin Ping was not at home, having gone to inquire about the news. Only Lin Qing was standing by, thinking about other things.
"Brother, what are you still standing there for! Hurry and help mother back home!"
Lin Ru was a little annoyed. This second brother was always out of tune all day long. He couldn't be relied on for anything at the critical moment. He was really a hopeless case!
But Lin Qing looked at the closed study door and said quietly, "Mother, father is staying indoors. Will the Lang family's affairs implicate our family?"
Lin Ru and Lang were both shocked. They had not expected this!
Lin Chong hid in the study and refused to come out. There was only one possibility: he was powerless, or he was also waiting.
What are you waiting for? Need I say more?
Wait for the emperor to come and arrest people, and wait for the Lang family to interrogate them.
Lang's eyes went dark and she lost consciousness. Lin Ru was also panicked. If the Lin family was also implicated, her marriage would probably be ruined!
In the prison, a cell door separated Lang Zhengde and his grandson.
Lang Qingmian was kneeling outside, his face full of calmness and relief.
Lang Zhengde sat cross-legged inside, hunched over, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant. Lang Huan and Lang Yan were shocked and couldn't believe it.
The person who betrayed them turned out to be their own son! Nephew!
"Grandfather, I have failed your expectations. I am a sinner of the Lang family! I do not ask for your forgiveness, but I am still grateful to you for raising me and protecting me well."
"Grandfather, Mian'er has no regrets in doing this!"
"If I am the starting point of the Lang family, then let everything end with me, grandson! I don't want the entire Lang clan to be wiped out. Those are lives at stake. Grandfather, please forgive me. I can't do that."
Lang Qingmian kowtowed three times to Lang Zhengde in a very proper manner.
"Grandfather, Father, Second Uncle, Mian'er will go ahead."
After saying that, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and calmly stabbed it into his heart.
Last night, he personally handed over all the evidence of the Lang family's crimes to the emperor. He told him everything his grandfather had told him, one by one, without missing a word.
Finally, he begged the emperor not to implicate innocent people. He was the most important person in the Lang family. If he died, no one in the Lang family would know about it.
So, he wanted to be the one to end it all.
Gao Changjun agreed to him!
"Mian'er..."
"Mian...er"
Lang Huan and Lang Yan widened their eyes, unable to believe that Lang Qingmian had actually committed suicide!
"My...son!"
After a long time, until a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Lang Qingmian's mouth and he slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground, Lang Huan let out a cry of grief from his chest.
