Records of the King of Xin'an County

it is finally over.

When he slowly walked out of the ancestral hall, Wang Zixian suddenly felt a relief in his heart.The haze that had shrouded him for many years was slowly dissipating, and with a gust of breeze, there was no trace left.Looking up, I can only see the deep starry sky, which is ancient and distant, bright and quiet, and seems to be endless.Just like his future, without any constraints, he can fly ninety thousand miles with the help of the breeze, allowing him to travel.

He seemed to have realized in his heart: since he grew up, Wang Chang and Xiao Yang are no longer his opponents.But they have always been the deadlock in his heart, making him want to break free from all these but can't do so, and he can't really be free.Now, they are a thing of the past, the hatred has been rewarded, and he has finally obtained true peace.

Very well, the only thing left in his heart is his most beloved person.From now on, he is the only one who he cares about, and he is the only one who can hold him back.Between them, there is an unstoppable fate in this world; their meeting and staying together may be the real destiny of this life.

Thinking of this, he slightly raised the corners of his lips.Looking closely, even this group of vague-faced tribesmen rushing in the jumping flames are much more pleasing to the eye.However, he ignored the doubtful and curious gazes of the crowd, but passed through them calmly, went straight to the gate of the ancestral hall, and rode his horse to leave.

The patriarch and elders briefly explained a few words to the clansmen, leaving the heads of the family to take their children back to continue to teach them.After all, everyone once thought that there would never be such stupid people as Wang Chang and Xiao Yang in the Wang family. If they didn't take this as a lesson, what should they do if another stupid person appears?

Seeing that Prince Xian was about to ride on the horse, the patriarch immediately called him and asked him to ride in the carriage with him: "How many servants are left in your family? After you go back, I'm afraid you won't even be able to drink hot soup. Why don't you go tonight?" Just resting at the old man's house, aren't Zimu and the others here? You don't need to see outside."

Wang Zixian thanked him for his kindness with gratitude, and after pondering for a moment, he took the initiative to discuss with him: "I also know from my grandfather that Yang Shangshu wanted to marry his concubine daughter to Ziling before, and his family is preparing a dowry gift, and he will come to the door soon Marriage proposal. Now that this kind of thing has happened, there are many embarrassing things about this marriage. If you marry the Yang family, if you get too close in the future, you may be implicated by them. But if you refuse the marriage rashly at this time, it will be I have offended them."

"This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing." The patriarch nodded, and after thinking carefully for a while, Fang said, "If the Yang family can voluntarily withdraw from the marriage, it would be the best strategy. However, the corners and corners of this scandal Absolutely don’t let them know about it. Otherwise, everyone will know about your father and stepmother being punished, and you will also be implicated. It may not be easy for you to become an official in the future.”

Wang Zixian frowned: "My child will think about it again, but there is no way to achieve both. However, Ziling is very obsessed with this marriage, and maybe he will not give up easily. Alas, he personally arranged the dowry. Thinking about it, he has decided that the young lady of the Yang family will not marry. Hai'er doesn't know how to persuade him. After all, he has never been very close to Hai'er and Zimu."

"Good boy, it's really hard for you. Don't worry, the old man will explain the priority of this matter to him." The patriarch naturally heard what he meant, and agreed, "Speaking of your father and Xiao Yang... you Do you still insist on this?"

"Don't worry about grandfather, the child has his own measure. Grandpa must be raised well, and little Yang will have the punishment she deserves," Wang Zixian replied in a deep voice.Although he is not worried about handing the two of them to the patriarch to deal with, but for the sake of his mother's feud and future arrangements, he must ensure that they are always in his hands.

It doesn't matter whether Wang Chang is really crazy or not. The important thing is that everyone knows that he is already "crazy", and he himself understands that only by continuing to be "crazy" can he guarantee his life.

And when to take Xiao Yang's life is up to him to decide.He will not let Xiao Yang live in peace for too long, let alone let her affect his arrangements.As long as you work hard enough, can't you train a confidant who can replace a "seriously ill woman"?

The patriarch gave him a deep look, and suddenly laughed: "It's really awesome for younger generations, it's awesome for younger generations." What's especially rare is that this son is not completely ruthless to his relatives, he is indeed sincere to his younger siblings.And only this kind of person who is both affectionate and righteous, who can be decisive when he decides, and who can show the utmost benevolence and kindness from beginning to end, is worthy of entrusting the future of the whole family.

When the carriage arrived at the patriarch's house, it was already dark.The prince bid farewell to the old patriarch and went to visit Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang in the guest courtyard.

Although the guest house is small, it is well-equipped with everything, it is very clean and the layout is very careful.However, Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang who were in it didn't care to pay attention to these details.The two sisters rarely leaned close to each other, their faces pale and silent.Only the four closest servants were left to serve them, and the rest disappeared.Wang Zimu sat beside him in a daze, just staring at himself in a daze.

When Wang Zixian stepped into the main room, Wang Luoniang's originally sluggish gaze suddenly lit up.She almost forgot the etiquette and rules of all aristocratic women, jumped up like a deer, and threw herself into his arms: "Brother! What happened? Tell me, what happened to Grandpa and Madam? "

She is desperate to know the truth, to know what happened, to know why her life turned upside down in an instant.Just a moment ago, she was having a spring feast as usual, and the only worries in her mind were where the flowers would go in the future, how to plan the dowry and other small things; the next moment, she was standing at the door of the messy house, facing the empty The yard in a daze, the world they lived on no longer exists.

"Brother! Please! Tell me!!" Facing the pity or alienation gazes of the patriarch's family members, she still didn't respond.However, the moment she saw her eldest brother, she instinctively shed tears, with the last hope in her eyes.It's really strange, they are not close brothers and sisters at all, but in her consciousness, at this moment, he is the only one who is the most trustworthy and the only one who can rely on him.

Wang Zixian stared at the flustered and terrified girl in front of him, helped her to the side of the couch and sat down, and glanced at Wang Xiangniang and Wang Zimu lightly: "You really need to know what grandpa and mother have done. However, you also have to promise that you must accept the fact after listening to it—from now on, we, brothers and sisters, will only be able to support each other to get by. As for Grandpa and Mother, maybe there will be opportunities in the future, and you can visit them occasionally. "

Under Wang Luoniang's longing gaze and Wang Xiangniang's firm gaze, the prince explained the ins and outs of the treason case in a succinct manner.He didn't keep his secrets about how Xiao Yang and Wang Chang were involved in it, but presented the evidence clearly.

After hearing this, the two young ladies were terrified, and immediately understood how big a mistake Xiao Yang and Wang Chang had made, and they couldn't help hugging each other and weeping.Since it is the fault of the parents, and the elders of the clan decide what to do if they make mistakes and punish them, what can they do as the younger generation?

After listening to it again, Wang Zimu gradually woke up from his daze, and he suddenly realized that King Pu was the father of King Xin'an and the uncle of Princess Changning.His father and mother actually wanted to kill the father of Xin'an County King Li Hui? !Want to kill the uncle of the little lady he loves? !And it almost implicated Princess Pu and Prince Xin'an? !

In an instant, he felt as if something had been dug out of his heart, leaving only a huge and hollow wound, which seemed to be bleeding continuously, and it seemed that there was only empty wind passing through his chest.He didn't know what his elder brother was thinking at this moment, but the emotions in his heart were too many and too vivid, but when he wanted to look carefully, it seemed that there was nothing.

"Where's Ziling?" Wang Zixian looked around and asked suddenly.

"No... I haven't seen the second brother..." Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang replied with sobs.

Wang Zimu suddenly came back to his senses, and after thinking about it carefully, he stood up frowning: "After the evening meal, he went back to rest in another guest courtyard arranged for an excuse, and never came to visit my elder sister and younger sister." Now Thinking about it, the second brother's behavior has always been weird.It seemed that although he was shocked and flustered, it wasn't because of his father and mother, but he was particularly worried about his situation.

Wang Zixian turned around and walked out quickly, and Wang Zimu immediately followed without hesitation.The two brothers went to another guest house to have a look. Where was Wang Ziling?The patriarch's grandson came over after hearing the news, and questioned the servants and tributaries guarding the gate of the mansion, only to learn that he had quietly left an hour ago, saying that he was going home to fetch some useful things, Go and come back.

"Sweet?" Wang Zixian pursed his lips, and immediately ordered someone to lead the horse, "The gate will be closed in a short time, let's go home and see if Zi Ling is still there. If he comes back, I will trouble you Have a good talk with grandfather, and hold him steady." After saying that, he rode away, followed closely by Wang Zimu.The patriarch Sun thought for a moment, and he also accompanied the royal horse, and several other servants guarded their safety.

When they barely crossed the Lifang where their home was located, the door behind them was slowly closed.Several people rushed to the Wang family.After stepping into the house, Wang Zixian ordered Cao Silang and the servants of the patriarch's family to lock the door: "If Ziling comes over, block him." After finishing speaking, he looked around—the strange thing is that the Wang family is at this moment It was dark everywhere, but only the main courtyard was faintly glowing, obviously someone was active inside.So, everyone followed the candlelight to the inner hall of the main courtyard.

At this time, there were not even half of the servants left in the entire Wang family, only two or three guards remained in the courtyard offered by the prince.At that time, they listened to the prince's order, and if they had nothing to do, they were not allowed to leave the courtyard for half a step, so they heard someone returning in a hurry from a distance, and they didn't come out to check.At this time, they recognized A Lang's footsteps and voice, and Fang came to greet him with a lantern.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to become extremely tense, as if it was not just a search for someone.The head of the patriarch, the grandson, was puzzled. When he saw the dignified Wang Zixian and Wang Zimu, he couldn't ask the question.

And when a group of people came to the entrance of the main courtyard, the candles inside suddenly went out.The huge courtyard suddenly looked extraordinarily gloomy, as if countless strange shadows were hiding in it, and they could pounce out anytime, anywhere.

Wang Zixian squinted his eyes: "Zi Ling, you came home to pack the things, why did you come to your mother's yard?" After asking, he whispered to Wang Zimu to take the parts to Wang Chang's study in the outer courtyard Check carefully: "The elders will never touch the items in our house easily, and see if there is anything missing."

He spoke so straightforwardly, but Wang Zimu seemed to take it for granted, and immediately nodded.Seeing him walking away, Wang Zixian slowly raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "What? You don't think it's enough after taking the land deed of our family's ancestral property? You have to get all your mother's dowry to be reconciled? You dare to take their belongings while alive? Oh, what is this?"

He deliberately paused, and then continued: "If you don't ask yourself, it's called a 'thief'. Aren't you a real house thief?" After speaking, he glanced at the patriarch's grandson next to him, calling His name: "Chang Ming, do you think so?"

Wang Changming glanced at him, and there was a bit of grief and disappointment in his words: "That's right. Ziling, I didn't expect you to do such a thing!!"

"I know what you're thinking. You're full of thoughts about taking these land deeds and selling them at will to make up the money needed for the dowry—maybe you can hold a particularly beautiful wedding and buy another house in Chang'an with at least three entrances. The mansion is for you and your wife to live in in the future. It is impossible to say that you can squander the remaining money for three or four years." Wang Zixian said again, with an indescribable sense of irony, "It's just that you think that if the Yang family knows All your money is stolen, are they still willing to marry Yang Shiniang to you?"

Heh, he knew a long time ago that Wang Ziling would come to this point sooner or later, giving him the opportunity of the Yang family voluntarily retiring the engagement.In order for him to take such a reckless risk, it was not in vain for him to ask Sun Rong to send various people to urge him several times, not to mention for him to secretly mention the fact that Wang Chang and Xiao Yang transferred the land deed between Zhuangzi and the shop. Where are they all hidden.

"These should be mine!! Mine!!" A black shadow rushed out and rushed towards Prince Xian.Just as he moved, something seemed to be shining with silver light, and the members of the patriarch's family couldn't help shouting: "Lang Jun, be careful! The dagger! He took the dagger!!"

However, before they finished speaking, Wang Zixian flitted to the side to avoid it.And the trilogy who had been clustered behind him jumped out like tigers and wolves, raised their legs and kicked the black shadow away, shouting: "Someone wants to assassinate A Lang! Be careful! Protect A Lang! I don't know where it came from." The thief! Let's quickly tie him up and send him to Marquis Wu who is patrolling the workshop!"

Wang Zixian didn't say a word, and the members understood it, and immediately tied up the black shadow tightly, and found the land deed and all kinds of precious gold, silver, precious stones and jade ornaments of the Xiao Yang family from him. ——The crime of "stealing" has been confirmed.

"There is not enough people..." Wang Zixian only took the remaining two land deeds of the so-called "ancestral property", and ordered people to put the rest aside as evidence.Of course, he would not touch anything belonging to Xiao Yang's family.However, it would be a pity to throw away all of them after testifying.Since it should belong to Wang Zimu and Wang Luoniang, leave it to them.Of course, Wang Ziling doesn't want to get a cent in this life.

"..." Wang Changming was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Send it to Marquis Wu, so there's no need for it?"

"I made Chang Ming laugh." The prince offered, and cupped his hands at him, "I understand that family ugliness cannot be publicized, so I can only hand him over to my grandfather."

So, when Wang Zimu saw that the study was turned into a mess and rushed back to inform him, what he saw was Wang Ziling bundled up—and all kinds of jewelry boxes and land deeds around him.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Wang Ziling struggled and howled with his face twisted: "These are all mine! Mine!! It should have been mine! What's wrong with me taking it?! The marriage of the Yang family should also be mine !!Prince Xian! Don't you want to ruin my good marriage because of jealousy!! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!!"

Wang Zixian was still calm as usual, but Wang Zimu swayed, finally regained his composure, and smiled miserably.
