Chapter 570

Yao Chengdong is nearly fifty this year, and his children have all graduated from college. As a prince, he usually has his own house when he returns to the imperial capital, and it is also a high-end villa in a certain high-end villa area.

Change to before.

In the middle of the night, he should have fallen asleep long ago, drinking tea with Duke Zhou, and dreaming about yellow beams. Today, however, he has insomnia. For the position of the Patriarch of the Yao family, he and his elder brother Yao Chengqing had a secret contest, which was definitely a thorn in the side of each other's eyes.

However, today his eldest brother was killed, but it was hard for him to accept. There is no one competing for the Patriarch of the family in the future, and it is absolutely easy for him to become the Patriarch of the Yao Family in the future. But...he also realized a serious problem: if the Yao family declines, even if he becomes the head of the Yao family, so what?

"Ring ring ring..."

The rapid ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Yao Chengdong's thinking and shocked him. When he picked up the phone and saw the number on the caller ID, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly connected and said, "Dad, are you looking for me?"

Yao Qingzun's voice came from the phone: "Chengdong, promise me one thing."

Yao Chengdong asked confusedly, "What's the matter?"

Yao Qingzun said: "Quit your current job and return to the imperial capital to sit in charge."

Yao Chengdong was taken aback for a moment, and then his face changed drastically. He jumped up from his chair and shouted hastily, "Dad, what are you talking about? My current position is very important, how can I just resign just because I say it? Our Yao family..."

Yao Qingzun interrupted Yao Chengdong, and said in a deep voice: "Our Yao family is now in a precarious stage. If you don't come back, it will be very difficult for our Yao family to get through this crisis. Don't ask me why I insist on making you do this, I have My last resort."

Yao Chengdong hurriedly asked: "Dad, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I..."

Yao Qingzun interrupted Yao Chengdong again, and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask any more, remember my words, quit your current job as quickly as possible, and return to the ancestral residence of the imperial capital. In addition, don't make enemies with the Tang family again. , try to ease the relationship between the two."

finished.

Yao Qingzun hung up the phone and turned off the phone.

Tang Xiu looked at Yao Qingzun's resolute expression, nodded and praised, "As expected of the Patriarch of the Yao family, he acts swiftly and resolutely. I'll give you half an hour, and you'd better solve it yourself."

Yao Qingzun was silent for a while, as if he had aged a lot, he walked slowly to the cabinet in the bedroom, opened the drawer and took out a medicine bottle from it. Immediately, he poured a glass of water, poured out all the sleeping pills from it, turned around and took a deep look at Tang Xiu, and then swallowed all the sleeping pills in his hand.

"Winners and losers, since my Yao family has lost, I have nothing to complain about. I hope you can give our Yao family some face and let the descendants of the family survive. If... If your Tang family is still not relieved Yes, you can drive my descendants of the Yao family out of the imperial capital, even out of China."

Tang Xiu's heart was a little complicated, but he still nodded his head hard. The Yao family and the Tang family are old enemies. The Tang family has suffered a lot under the persecution of the Yao family for so many years. Although none of the direct lineage members of the Tang family died at the hands of the Yao family, many of the vassal families of the Tang family and a large number of talents trained by the Tang family died at the hands of the Yao family.

then.

In the matter of his father, there may be shadows of the Yao family.

Tang Xiu watched Yao Qing Zongxin return to the bed, pulled the quilt and lay flat there, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it, took two deep puffs, and then waved his hand.

"call out……"

The dark figure disappeared instantly.

After smoking a cigarette, Tang Xiu stood up slowly, looked at Yao Qingzun's unconscious appearance, and murmured, "Just now you also said that the truth is eternal. Since you wanted to fight with the Tang family back then, If you are right, you should be aware of the consequences of losing. Your son and grandson are already waiting for you below, and you won’t feel lonely when you get there.”

this night.

Except for the small episode of Tang Xiu's arrival, the Yao family's ancestral house,

Everything seemed so peaceful. Even Yao Chengdong, who rushed to the ancestral house late at night, stood outside the door of the old man's room, but he didn't dare to step in.

early morning.

Yao Chengdong, who was waiting outside the door in the middle of the night, looked at the door with his brows tightly furrowed. It stands to reason that the old man should have woken up long ago at this time. Why hasn't there been any movement until today?

"ah……"

An exclamation came from the small courtyard next door.

Yao Chengdong's complexion changed slightly, and he rushed to the small courtyard next door. Seeing the nanny panicked and slumped on the ground, Yao Chengdong followed her gaze and looked towards the corner.

"What?"

Two corpses were lying in the corner, the bloodstains had solidified. They were simply covered with a few newspapers, but they didn't cover their whole bodies. Yao Chengdong sprinted to the side of the two corpses, squatted down to inspect them, and suddenly raised his head. As if realizing something, he sprinted to the next courtyard and kicked open the door of the old man's room. When he sprinted into the bedroom, looking at the old man lying flat on the bed, his suspended heart relaxed a little.

"Dad, it's time to get up."

Yao Chengdong called.

Nothing!

Yao Qingzun, who was lying flat on the bed, was completely motionless.

Yao Chengdong was stunned for a moment, he knew that the old man's sleep quality was very poor, and he would wake up with a start if there was any movement. But he kicked open the door outside and called him again, how could there be no movement at all. After hesitating for a while, just as Yao Chengdong was about to call again, his peripheral vision swept across the counter beside him.

Pill bottle?

He strode over, grabbed the medicine bottle in his hand, looked at the instructions on the medicine bottle, his pupils shrank instantly, rushed to the bedside with a bit of panic, and shouted loudly: "Dad, wake up."

Shout out!

No response!

Yao Chengdong's heart rose to his throat in an instant, and he hurriedly put his hands under the old man's nostrils. To his horror, the old man was not breathing at all. Then he grabbed his wrist and placed it on the old man's heart.

"How did this happen?"

The blood on Yao Qingzun's face faded completely, and he staggered back several times coldly, two lines of tears slid down his face. Tears could not hide the pain in his eyes.

The imperial capital, the Tang family.

Tang Xiu sat in front of Tang Guosheng, Tang Guoxing, and Tang Guosheng. On both sides are Tang Yunpeng, Tang Yunde, Tang Yunqing, Tang Dong, Tang Min, and Tang Yan respectively.

"Really dead?"

Tang Guosheng's eyes were filled with complicated light, and his voice became extremely low.

Tang Xiu nodded and said, "It's really dead, it's suicide."

Tang Guosheng closed his eyes, opened them slowly after a long while, stood up and walked to the side bookcase, took out a bottle of wine and sat back to the distance, then sprinkled the bottle of wine in front of him, muttering to himself: "Old man, we have been fighting for a lifetime, and now that you are ahead of me, as an opponent, I still want to send you off well. In the next life, I hope we will not be opponents again."

finished.

Tang Guosheng slammed the wine bottle into pieces, looked up at Tang Xiu suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Xiu'er, this matter is over, the Patriarch of the Yao family died, and the Yao family members suffered heavy losses. Our Tang family is tearing their skins apart, and I'm afraid we've lost that courage as well."

Tang Xiu said: "There is something I have to say in advance."

Tang Guosheng asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Xiu said: "Yao Chengdong will soon resign from his current position and return to the Imperial Capital to take over the position of the Patriarch of the Yao family."

Tang Guosheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "You did it?"

Tang Xiu nodded and said, "I did it. Yao Qingzun called Yao Chengdong before he died."

Tang Guosheng rubbed his hands, his old face showed excitement, and said: "The only important person in the entire Yao family is Yao Chengdong. As long as he resigns from his current position, the Yao family will no longer be enough consider."

Tang Xiu smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and suddenly the door was opened from the outside. With a bit of a smile, Guang put a stack of documents into Tang Xiu's hands, and then exited the room.

"What's this?"

Tang Guosheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

The other members of the Tang family in the room also showed curiosity. They didn't know what the document in Tang Xiu's hand was, and they didn't know what kind of wishful thinking Tang Xiu was planning. However, seeing Tang Xiu's half-smile expression, they had a faint feeling that this information might be very important to the Tang family.

Tang Xiu handed the information to Tang Guosheng and said, "If our Tang family and the Yao family didn't have such a big hatred before, now our two families have a blood feud. Even if our Tang family wants to let the Yao family go, If the Yao family grows bigger in the future, I'm afraid they will also attack our Tang family. In order to avoid future troubles, I think we need to do something!"

Tang Guosheng didn't ask any more questions, but watched the information together with Tang Guoxing and Tang Guoshou. The more they watched, the more weird expressions on the three people's faces became stronger, and in the end, the three of them already showed a look of horror.

"Heaven's crimes are forgiven, but self-inflicted crimes cannot be lived. If we publicize this information, the Yao family may be over. The wall will fall and everyone will push it, and the drum will be broken by thousands of people. Yao Qingzun is dead, and the Yao family has suffered heavy losses. If Yao Chengdong Retire from that seat, there are so many families and so many influences in this document...the whole Yao family has been swallowed up and wiped out!" Tang Guosheng was silent for a long time before he couldn't help but feel deeply Exclaimed.

Tang Guoshou also nodded and said, "That's right, after all, there are only a few people who give charcoal in the snow, but there are countless people who add fuel to the flames. The bad fruits planted by the Yao family will eventually be shared by themselves."

Tang Xiu smiled and said: "I promised Yao Qingzun that our Tang family will never take action against the other party and their descendants of the Yao family. But if we don't take action, it has nothing to do with our Tang family. There is a saying that goes well: the snipe and the clam Fight for the fisherman to gain. Let the Tang family sit and wait to share the wealth of the Yao family!"
