Chapter 906: Chapter 906 Are You Planning a Rebellion_1 Chapter 906: Chapter 906 Are You Planning a Rebellion_1 “This statement is flawed; do not belittle yourself needlessly. After all, you are a descendant of Gu Yu, and your great-grandmother even constructed an incomprehensible secret tunnel. If that tunnel exists, then the existence of a gunpowder recipe isn’t anything out of the ordinary, right?”
Yang Wang looked at Tong Sanlang with a kind expression on his face.
Yet the content of his words was filled with malice.
And he used a question, but his tone was that of a declarative sentence, almost certain that the explosives had been developed by Tong Sanlang himself.
Tong Sanlang’s handsome face showed no fear as he looked at Yang Wang and spoke with neither servility nor arrogance, “Your Highness, regarding that secret tunnel, neither I nor my grandfather have already reported to the Grand Emperor, and His Majesty has accepted our explanation.”
“Now that Your Highness brings this up, do you intend to set up a court in this desolate place to interrogate me?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Wang smiled, “Interrogation is unnecessary, but isn’t it normal for me, a member of the royal family, to feel puzzled by the appearance of explosives in your home?”
Being from the Yang Family, now that something which could potentially threaten his family had emerged, wasn’t it only right for him to ask?
“It’s natural to have doubts, but to accuse so casually—I am afraid I cannot bear such a big hat,” Tong Sanlang said.
“Accuse? No, no, no, I’m not accusing,” Yang Wang waved one hand, “What I speak of are facts. Your great-grandfather and my Grandpa Emperor once vied for the throne, and you and your grandfather are guarding such a vast treasure.”
“With such a tradition and financial resources to back it up, to say that you harbor no thoughts of rebellion—I’m afraid only a three-year-old child would believe that.”
Tong Sanlang understood upon hearing this.
Yang Wang’s move this time was not to unearth treasures.
Yang Wang was targeting him.
After all, having stolen gunpowder just for the sake of an elusive treasure would make Yang Wang’s mind too simple.
Saddling him with the accusation of plotting rebellion and getting rid of him would leave Qiao Xiaomai a widower.
Compared to the treasure, whose whereabouts were unknown, Xiaomai, a living wealth deity, was a more tangible asset.
Having such a money-making deity was like owning an inexhaustible gold mine.
Realizing this, Tong Sanlang’s heart settled.
At this moment, he was thankful for Liuli.
On the surface, she had deceived his two grandfathers for their entire lives, but in reality, she had set up an escape route for them.
With such a plan in place and Yang Wenxiao’s affection for Liuli, as long as he and Yu Ang behaved themselves, Yang Wenxiao would not harm the Tong Family.
Yang Wang’s suspicion was not a big deal.
He asked, “So, Your Highness intends to convict me with an unfounded charge?”
Yang Wang laughed softly, “I am not qualified to convict you. I will report these suspicions to my father the Emperor and Grandpa Emperor, letting them decide your fate.”
“Then please, Your Highness, make your report promptly. I urgently request justice from His Majesty and the Grand Emperor,” Tong Sanlang’s expression remained unchanged.
Yang Wang noticed his composure and let out a light snort, “Man proposes, God disposes. Some deeds, once done, will one day come to light.”
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang did not even blink an eyelash; his demeanor remained calm.
However, he began to wonder to himself.
What did Yang Wang mean by that statement…
Could it be that he knew about his family’s past attempts at rebellion?
