Chapter 163 is going to be a count

Lei Bin looked at the five brothers of Ling Zihe, sneered, said nothing, and walked to the room.

The five brothers also looked cold and did not have any expression when they saw Lei Bin's face. Now, Ling Yan is dead, and the Ling family is in a period of turmoil. For them, in fact, it is also an opportunity.

Although Ling Zihe is the first successor, he does not inherit the earldom, so he can fully control the Ling family.

"Zihe, you're here." As soon as he entered the room, a man who looked 24 or 45 years old and had a raw oily face came to Lei Bin and said.

Lei Bin has known this person for a long time. He is the son of Xiao Qing, Ling Zihe's second uncle, Xiao Yihui.

This Xiao Yihui can be said to be Ling Zihe's best friend. The two are cousins and have the same smell. They often spend their time together and have extraordinary feelings.

Therefore, Lei Bin immediately showed a relatively familiar appearance and went inside with Xiao Yihui.

"What about Princess Yanran?" Lei Bin didn't see Princess Yanran here and asked.

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

Lei Bin nodded and knew that this was actually a way to avoid suspicion. Now, it is the critical autumn of the Ling family, 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 accompanying Xiao Yi to analyze this matter. This incident can be said to be a great blow to the whole Ling family.

With the efforts of these years, Ling Yan carried forward the strong foundation accumulated by several generations of the Ling family and brought the Ling family to a very high position. He is also the chief interior minister and is highly valued by the emperor Fuming in the empire.

However, because Ling Yan and several other brothers competed for the earldom before, most of the other brothers were killed, so the Ling family also became relatively thin. Ling Yan died, so there was no one in the Ling family who could handle.

Although Lingzihe is already a viscount and Ling Yan has also vigorously cultivated Lingzihe over the years, after all, Lingzihe is still too young and very dungrate, and his prestige is not enough to suppress those ministers.

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 both shouted together. When Xiao Yi saw Lei Bin coming back, her eyes immediately became extremely soft.

"Yes, uncle." Lei Bin shouted respectfully. He knew that these two uncles had been very fond of Ling Zihe since he was a child, and they were also very close to the Ling family.

At this time, the most reliable is these two uncles.

The title of the Xiao family is a marquis, which is one rank higher than the strict countship, but in fact, the power of the Xiao family is 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's father died more than ten years ago. Now the one who inherits the title of marquis is Xiao Wei, the eldest uncle of Lingzihe, and Xiao Qing, the second uncle, has also rehabilitate the Xiao family very prosperously.

The two sons of the Xiao family are relatively harmonious and do not compete for each other like the Ling family.

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

Xiao Wei is about 50 years old. He is not very tall and shorter than Lei Bin. His face is very handsome, his hair is dark, his eyes are like bright stars, and he is very bright. He is obviously proficient in ancient martial arts. Today, he is dressed in very easy-going casual clothes and obviously came in a hurry.

However, although wearing such a dress, Xiao Wei also has the momentum of a superior, one look and one action, all show the temperament of the noble family.

This kind of temperament is difficult to pretend. Only those who have been in a high position for a long time and are respected may have it.

Lei Bin has long been familiar with their photos through Xingmeng, so it is not strange to see them.

Looking at Xiao Wei, Lei Bin shook his head helplessly and said, "I have no clue. I mobilized my father's aircraft monitoring records recently, but I didn't find anything big."

"I want to say that this incident must have been done by the Austin family. They are the enemies of several generations of the Ling family, and they are eager for the Ling family to fall." At this time, Xiao Qing flashed a cold light in his eyes and said.

Xiao Qing's temperament is obviously more impatient and impulsive than Xiao Wei. He is much taller than Xiao Wei, and his figure seems to be very slender. Although he is in his 40s, it can also be seen that he must be a romantic figure when he is young.

"Not necessarily, it is completely unnecessary for the Austin family to do such a thing now. Although they have been fighting with the Ling family, it is too eye-catching to do such a thing now. Even His Majesty will not tolerate it. Xiao Wei expressed different views.

"Yes, His Majesty will never allow this kind of thing, and the Austin family will be very clear. I think it may be done by insiders this time. At this time, Xiao Yi stood up and said with a serious face.

At ordinary times, Xiao Yi looks like a gentle and virtuous housewife with little opinion, but at this time, when something happens at home, Xiao Yi's heroic side is shown. At this time, she discusses things with Xiao Wei and Xiao Qing, which is very calm and calm.

"Xiaoyi, do you mean... the people of the Ling family?" Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Wei couldn't help frowning and asking.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I guess it is very likely to be like this. If it is an outsider, even if there is a great resentment, there is no need to kill him. Only the insiders can't wait so much.

"But now, there are only a few people in the Ling family. Will Ling Ziyue and others have so much courage?" Xiao Wei couldn't help doubting.

Ling Ziyue is the eldest brother of Ling Zihe and the eldest son of Ling Yan, but Ling Ziyue is only born to a concubine, so his status at home is incomparable to Ling Zihe.

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 secretly and is unstable. In the past, Ling Yan was there, and I don't think they would pose any threat to Zihe. But now it seems that everything is hard to say. Xiao Wei said coldly.

"And... that Ling Wei has been tolerant for so many years and doesn't seem to have any ambition, but who knows if he has any secret plots?" 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 future trouble. If it was really Ling Wei who killed Ling Yan this time, then Ling Yan would definitely die." Xiao Qing snorted at this time and was very dissatisfied that Ling Yan did not kill Ling Wei in those years.

"Everyone has their own intolerable side. Ling Wei is the intolerable side." Xiao Yi sighed and said.

"I will send someone to investigate Ling Wei's current situation, including Ling Ziyue and others, and control them first. Even if they didn't do this, they must beware of them, because they are people who can pose a threat to Zihe. Xiao Wei said at this time.

"Yes, the eldest brother is right. I think the biggest problem at present is to ensure the safety of Zihe and let him successfully inherit the title of count. If it is really an internal person, then this person's purpose should be for the title of the Ling family. Now, it is the most important thing to keep this title. Xiao Yi looked at Lei Bin, her eyes full of love and said.

Xiao Yi is a sincere maternal love for Lingzi River, and she is centered on Lingzi River all the time.

When Lei Bin saw Xiao Yi's eyes, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Since he was a child, he has never experienced maternal love. Now, when he sees Xiao Yi's eyes, he really feels that it is a warm current that warms people into his heart, making you feel that it is a harbor that 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 treat her as my own mother." Lei Bin thought so in his heart.

"Yes, the most important thing is to keep the title of Zihe. Although the title does not represent everything, if you inherit the title first, you can stabilize the situation for the time being, and those ministers will not have different intentions too quickly. Xiao Wei immediately agreed with what Xiao Yi said.

The count of the Ling family is a hereditary system, that is, the title of this count will continue to be inherited by the Ling family. The title of count represents a status, a kind of glory and a kind of wealth.

The title of the count of the Ling family has been inherited by 10 generations. The 10 generations have accumulated, and the fiefdom is extremely vast and the network is extremely large. Even some marquises and dukes are not much worse.

The Xiao family and the Ling family are the biggest partners. Ling Zihe inherited the title of count, which is also of great benefit to the Xiao family

"Damn, I'm going to be a count." Lei Bin suddenly rolled his eyes and didn't expect that he would become a count so soon when he arrived 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 count. As for how to help Ling Yan revenge, how to hold funerals, etc., etc., they were suspended.

Lei Bin also saw that Xiao Yi, Xiao Wei and Xiao Qing did not have much sadness about Ling Yan's death. Some just felt that Ling Yan's premature death was a big blow to the power of the Ling family.

The Ling family and the Xiao family are originally a political combination, completely out of interest. Now, Ling Yan is dead, and Ling Zihe will inherit the title of count, 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 coming ministers, interest partners, etc., to appease them.

At this time, this kind of comfort is very necessary. The sudden death of a family head is when a family is very easy to fall apart. If a family is not well controlled, the foundation of the Ling family will be destroyed.

Among these ministers, there are also many powerful people who are also suspected. However, we can't find the real murderer now, and there is no way to target someone, but we must suspect anyone.
