Records of the King of Xin'an County

"Since you all feel that the crime of treason cannot be forgiven lightly, how should we deal with it?"

"The old man thinks that they should be punished severely. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they should be beheaded. However, we are blood-linked clansmen after all. Beheading is too bloody, and it is not easy to explain to others, so let them leave a whole dead body."

"Uncle Clan is right, let them choose three-foot white silk or poisonous wine, and die more happily."

"It's too cheap to let them die so quickly! How could they have confessed their mistakes just now? If the evidence is not convincing, they will definitely justify themselves with clever words, and even frame us in reverse! Such a cunning and The cunning people must not be easily let go. The old man thinks that they should be punished with the rod first, so as to imitate others. Considering the crimes they committed, they should suffer a lot of flesh and blood. If there are descendants who dare to commit such crimes in the future Such a serious crime should be dealt with in the same way!"

The three brothers Wang Zixian listened to their argument silently, with different expressions.As the eldest brother, Wang Zixian is calm as usual, his eyes seem to have a bit of pity, and he seems to be as indifferent as a bystander; as the second brother, Wang Ziling barely controls the panic and anxiety, and his eyes are nervously looking at the patriarch and Wang Chang, Little Yang lingered on her body, her face was a little pale; as the younger brother, Prince Mu's face was pale, staring blankly at the people in front of him, as if feeling that all this was still like an illusory dream.

When Wang Chang heard the elders start arguing fiercely about how to deal with him, he was frightened out of his wits.He struggled and rolled in front of the patriarch and elders, and begged tearfully, "Uncle! Nephew got it wrong!! Nephew really got it wrong!!" The admirable appearance suddenly became rough, completely no longer the handsome and refined appearance of the past.

Seeing that everyone was unmoved, he hastily argued: "It's all that bitch's fault!! My nephew was also bewitched by her! She said that the Yang family got hints from His Highness the Crown Prince, as long as they get rid of King Pu, they can snatch this If you vote for the certificate, you will surely be successful in the future!! My nephew thought that the Yang family had a Yang Liangdi, and what he said was probably true, so... that's why I was blinded for a while..."

"My nephew knows I'm wrong! I'm wrong! I shouldn't listen to this bitch's instigation!!" He cried out heart-piercingly while kowtowing, the blood on his forehead snaked down, and it was very painful. Soon, half of his face turned red, "Nephew, I will divorce this bitch! Let the elders dispose of me! I will also cut off contact with the Yang family immediately!! Uncle... nephew knows his mistake! He knows his mistake!! Forgive me Nephew!!"

Xiao Yang's eyes widened in disbelief. At first, they were full of tears, like delicate and delicate flowers, and then her expression became more and more strange.Hearing Wang Chang scolding her and wanting to abandon her over and over again, she opened her eyes wide, looking innocent, and said softly and weakly: "Ah Lang, all the songs at home are only at your command, how can I do such a thing? A major event of treason? You are the head of the family, and I dare not make decisions on my own."

Wang Chang didn't expect that she would dare to shirk responsibility, so he turned his head suddenly: "Bitch! It's you who bewitched me! If it wasn't for you, how could I have anything to do with the Yang family? How could I believe such unfounded rumors?" ?! If your Yang family hadn’t vowed to make some contribution to the dragon, I wouldn’t have been so obsessed!! It’s only been four years, and I still remember how many people from your Yang family were involved in it. Chu!!"

Xiao Yang covered her mouth, her expression seemed to be getting more and more bitter, and then she lowered her eyes and sobbed: "They? They are just relatives who don't do business properly, and they don't even have a serious job vacancy on weekdays. How would I know, it's just with When they met by chance, A Lang believed their nonsense? At that time, my concubine was also deceived, and she was a weak woman, who didn't know the inside story of this matter, let alone how it would turn out to be such a bad result!!"

Wang Chang was horrified when he saw her deftly evade all the guilt.In his eyes, this woman is no longer a beloved wife who has slept in the same bed for many years, but a sworn enemy.If he can't put all the blame on her today, then he can only accept the crime and suffer death!Die...die...who wants to die? !Who doesn't want to live? !Who would want to be ruined miserably and die uselessly in the ancestral hall when prosperity and wealth are at your fingertips? !

After the shock and fear, what came out was madness and fury—no one expected that Wang Chang suddenly burst into a rage and rushed towards Xiao Yang.His face was covered with blood and furious, and he looked extremely hideous and terrifying.Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, unable to dodge in time, she let him fall to the ground, and bit off half of his ear like a beast! !

"Ah!!" The shrill scream could almost resound through the sky, and everyone was stunned.

Wang Zixian frowned, stretched out his hand to cover Wang Zimu's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Zi Mu, go out." His tone was calm and unwavering, and seemed to be deeply bored.

With choked sobs in his mouth, Wang Zimu responded vaguely.He was still a little dazed, and he hadn't fully reacted, but he was deeply aware that the world he had relied on and trusted for more than ten years had collapsed overnight, and not even ashes existed.

Wang Zixian took Wang Zimu out and begged the patriarch's grandson to take care of him.Looking back, Wang Ziling was also staggering behind them.No matter how selfish his nature may be, he is nothing more than a irritated young man at this moment.Anyone who witnessed the scene where the father wanted to kill the mother would never accept it easily.He couldn't even remember exactly what they said when they grabbed and bit each other, his face turned blue and pale, as if he would faint on the ground at any moment.

"Please give them some refreshing soup so that they can rest earlier." Prince Xian instructed, and turned back to the ancestral hall.

Wang Zimu watched his back disappearing in the eerie darkness, and couldn't help calling "Brother".

Wang Zixian glanced back at him, with comforting eyes in his eyes: "Zimu, Luo Niang and Xiang Niang are at the patriarch's house, and they must be terrified now. Take care of them for me... don't teach them to know the truth."

Wang Zimu nodded, but his behavior was still sluggish.Wang Ziling stood silently by the side, covered in clouds.Seeing this, the patriarch's grandson sighed, and led them back home, avoiding the eyes and pointing of the clansmen.

When Wang Zixian returned to the ancestral hall again, the patriarch and others had asked his trusted servants to separate Wang Chang from Xiao Yang.

Wang Chang was still whining and roaring, his red eyes stared straight at Xiao Yang, like a beast staring at its prey, and he seemed completely crazy.Xiao Yang was lying in a pool of blood, weeping in a strange manner, as if she was trying her best to show her usual delicate appearance, but her face was distorted due to the blood on her face.

"What should I do?" An old man frowned, "I have lived for more than [-] years, and I have never seen such a thing!!" They are the children of the dignified Langya Wang family. Make such a thing happen!The tablets of the ancestors are around, and they went underground in the future, what face do they have to pay respects to their ancestors? !

"Whether they are internal strife or crazy, they can't escape the guilt." The patriarch remained calm and glanced at Wang Zixian, "What's more, the two committed more than just treason. No matter how clever Xiao Yang is, it is impossible." She has nothing to do with sophistry." After finishing speaking, he asked someone to take Wang Chang down temporarily, and Xiao Yang was still lying on the ground, no one paid attention.

Immediately afterwards, they took turns to interrogate Xiao Yang's personal maid, his trusted wife in charge, and Wang Chang's steward and trilogy.When those people saw Xiao Yang's miserable state, they thought she had been lynched, and they trembled with fright.No matter how loyal he was, he knew at this moment that there was no way out, so he dared to hide nothing.Without waiting for the patriarch to ask carefully, they poured out all the secrets of the years.

Mrs. Yang is very careful in her actions, changing people around her every few years.And although those people said that they were released as good citizens and went out to live a good life as slaves, but in the past ten years, only one or two came back to thank her for her kindness.Where did the rest of those people go? After all, paper can't wrap the fire.Of course, the lady in charge and the personal servant who served her were also smart people, so they secretly inquired about a lot of secrets for future use, and a dozen of them pieced together the pieces together, and surprisingly they came up with the truth——

Whether it was the young Yang's affair with Wang Chang, deliberately angering the big Yang, unmarried pregnancy, etc., or killing people to cover up these scandals, and even sending people to murder the traveling Wang Zixian and other evil deeds, they are all made public. .

"This kind of vicious woman is really unheard of!!"

"This... This is simply an inhuman monster! If not, how could you have no mercy?! Killing sisters and sons, I don't know how many lives are in my hands!!"

All the members of the Wang clan were shocked. When they looked at Xiao Yang, it was as if they were looking at the dirtiest thing in the world.Remembering that this woman was born as a side branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and that the rebellion was also related to the Yang family, they immediately felt nothing but disgust for the Yang family.People in the family who had been married to the Yang family couldn't help wondering whether they needed to investigate carefully.

The patriarch stroked his long beard with a serious expression: "Presumably, the Yang family is inseparable from the plot of rebellion back then. Right now, the Duke of Hongnong, who is so famous in Beijing, doesn't know what he is planning."

His two words made everyone calm down a lot.No matter how unbearable the Hongnong Yang family is, at least the Fangzhi lineage in Beijing is now in a state of blooming flowers.If the Wang family of Shangzhou offended them, they might end up with nothing but destruction.What's more, it's about treason, their powerless and declining family can only try to protect themselves, and they must not be involved in it.Otherwise, even if he exposed the Yang family at the risk, he would be the first to fall.

"No matter what plans they have, it has nothing to do with us." An old man replied firmly, "It is enough to deal with Xiao Yang, report his illness and death, and then tell the Yang family." His eyes were extremely sharp. He swept across everyone: "It's all in our ears, we must never let it out!!"

Everyone said yes one after another, and they all made heavy oaths in front of the ancestral tablets.

"Zixian, you have to be careful in Beijing." The patriarch looked at the young man who had been silent in the corner, and said, "I'll leave it to you to continue to investigate the details of the Yang family. It may be of use in the future. "The decision he made, the other clansmen also nodded and agreed: "When it is useful in the future, it can be regarded as a means for us to protect ourselves."

"Yes, save me, my son." The prince offered, and after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but knelt down and begged for mercy, "Little Yang's crime is unforgivable, but my grandpa...his temperament has always been like this...he just knows people. I don’t know, it’s a crime that doesn’t lead to death..." As a "filial son", how can he not defend his "crazy" father?As for Xiao Yang's revenge for killing his mother and himself, if he didn't kill her himself, he would have done his best.

All the elders looked at him and sighed how Wang Chang could raise such an excellent son.After Xiao Yang's training for so many years, not only has he not been raised or disabled, but his talent and character are impeccable, enough to make everyone feel sorry for him.

The patriarch and the elders looked at each other, weighed for a moment, and pretended to be embarrassed.As a result, other elders who didn't know about it pleaded for mercy one after another, without mentioning Wang Chang, just a piece of filial piety from the poor prince.

In the end, "couldn't bear" everyone's entreaties, the patriarch nodded: "Since he's lost his mind, let's arrange a Zhuangzi to have a baby in the future. Little Yang is not in a hurry to deal with it, after all, Zixian has just become the champion , You can’t keep mourning for this poisonous woman for three years at such a critical moment. And lock her up, and let her die of illness silently in a few years. The old man guarantees as the patriarch of the Wang clan in Shangzhou, We will never let them take another step beyond Zhuangzi."
