165.Chapter 165
"Since you all feel that the crime of rebellion is not to be forgiven, how should you deal with it?"
"The old man thinks that he should be punished heavily. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, they should be beheaded. However, after all, we are blood-related clansmen, and the beheadings are too bloody, and it is not easy to explain to others, so let's leave them a whole corpse. ”
"Uncle Clan is right, let them choose three-foot white silk or wine, and die happily."
"It's too cheap to let them die so happily! Can they have a little bit of confession of guilt and guilt? If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, they would have defended themselves with clever words, and even framed us in turn! Such a treacherous and cunning person must not be let go lightly. The old man felt that he should be punished with a cane first to set an example. In terms of their sins, they deserve to suffer a lot of flesh and skin. In the future, if any children and grandchildren dare to commit such a serious crime, they will also be dealt with according to this example! ”
The three brothers listened to their arguments silently, with different expressions. As the eldest brother, Wang Zixian was calm as usual, with a bit of compassion in his eyes, and as if he was as indifferent as a bystander; As the second brother, Wang Zi Ling barely controlled his panic and anxiety, his eyes nervously lingered on the patriarch, Wang Chang, and Xiao Yang, and his face was slightly pale; As the younger brother, Wang Zimu had no blood on his face, and looked at the people in front of him in a daze, as if he felt that this qiē still seemed to be an illusory dream.
And Wang Chang was so frightened when he heard that the elders began to argue fiercely about what to do with him. He struggled to roll in front of the patriarch and the elders, and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "From uncle! My nephew is wrong!! My nephew really knew it was wrong!! He wept out loud in sorrow, and his normally commendable appearance suddenly became vulgar, and he no longer had the appearance of his former handsome Sven.
Seeing that everyone was unmoved, he hastily defended again: "It's all that slut's fault!" My nephew was also bewitched by her! She said that the Yang family got the hint of His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as King Pu was removed and this vote was grabbed, they would definitely soar in the future!! The nephew thought that the Yang family had a Yang Liangdi, and what he said was probably true, so he ...... That's why I was blindfolded for a while......"
"My nephew is wrong! A thousand mistakes, you shouldn't listen to this slut's provocation!! He cried out heartbreakingly, and slammed his head, the blood on his forehead snaked down, and soon half of his face was red, "Nephew, this is going to divorce this slut!" Let the elders dispose of it! will also immediately cut off contact with the Yang family!! Uncle...... The nephew knows his mistake! I know it's wrong!! Spare my nephew!! ”
Xiao Yang's eyes widened in disbelief, and at first his eyes were full of tears like a pitiful delicate flower, and then his expression became more and more strange. Hearing Wang Chang scolding her, and repeatedly wanting to abandon her, she opened her eyes wide, looking innocent, and said softly and weakly: "Ah Lang, all the subordinates in the family are only at your disposal, how can the concubine have the ability to do such a rebellious thing?" You are the head of the family, and the concubine does not dare to make her own decisions. ”
Wang Chang didn't expect her to dare to shirk her responsibility, and suddenly turned her head suddenly: "Slut! You bewitched me! If it weren't for you, how could I have anything to do with the Yang family? How can you believe such a false rumor?! If it weren't for your Yang family's vow to say what you want to do from the dragon, I wouldn't be so confused!! It's only been four years, and I still remember clearly which of your Yang family people are involved!! ”
Xiao Yang covered his mouth, his expression seemed to be getting more and more bitter, and then he lowered his eyes and sobbed: "They? They are just some unprofessional relatives, and they don't even have a serious job on weekdays. How did the concubine know, just met them by chance, and Ah Lang listened to their nonsense? At that time, the concubine was also deceived, and she was a weak woman, so she didn't know the inside story of this matter, and she didn't know that it would cause such a bad result later!! ”
Wang Chang saw that she gently and skillfully shirked all the blame, and his heart was suddenly terrified. In his eyes, this woman is no longer a beloved wife who has shared the bed for many years, but an enemy who does not share the sky. If he can't put all the blame on her today, then he can only accept his sins and die! Die...... Die...... Who would want to die?! Who doesn't want to live?! Who wants to be miserable and disgraced and die in the ancestral hall when glory and wealth are within reach? !
After the panic, what poured out was madness and rage - no one expected that Wang Chang would suddenly rise up and pounce on Xiao Yang. His face was covered in blood and furious, and he looked extremely hideous and terrifying. Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't avoid it, so he threw himself to the ground and bit off half of his ear like a vicious beast!!
"Ahh The terrible screams could almost be heard in the sky, and everyone was stunned.
Wang Zixian furrowed his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to cover Wang Zimu's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Zimu, go out." His tone was calm and unwavering, and there seemed to be a deep sense of boredom.
Wang Zimu choked up and answered vaguely. He was still a little dazed, and he didn't fully react, but he was already deeply aware that the world that he had relied on trust for more than ten years had collapsed overnight, and even the ashes no longer existed.
Wang Zixian took Wang Zimu out and begged the grandson of the patriarch's family to take care of him on his behalf. Looking back, Wang Ziling also staggered behind them. No matter how selfish his nature is, he is just a stimulated teenager at this time. Anyone who sees the scene of his father wanting to kill his mother will never accept it lightly. He couldn't even remember what they had said when they bit each other, and his face turned blue and pale, as if he would faint at any moment.
"Give them some soup to drink, so that they can rest early." The prince instructed, and turned back to the ancestral hall.
Wang Zimu watched his back disappear into the gloomy darkness, and couldn't help but call out "big brother".
The prince glanced back at him, with a sense of comfort in his eyes: "Zimu, Luo Niang and Xiang Niang are in the patriarch's house, and they must be terrified now." Take care of them for me...... They don't have to be taught the truth. ”
Wang Zimu nodded, but his behavior was still slow. Wang Ziling stood silently to the side, covered in dark clouds. Seeing this, the patriarch's grandson sighed and led them back home to avoid the eyes and fingers of the clansmen.
When Wang Zixian returned to the ancestral hall again, the patriarch and others had already asked their cronies and servants to separate Wang Chang from Xiao Yang's family.
Wang Chang was still whining and roaring at something, his red eyes staring directly at Xiao Yang, like a fierce beast staring at his prey, as if he had completely gone crazy. Xiao Yang was lying in a pool of blood, crying strangely, as if he was trying his best to make a delicate posture on weekdays, but his face was extremely distorted because of the blood.
"How can this be?" An old man frowned, "The old man has lived for more than sixty years, and he has never seen anything like this!" "They are the children of the dignified Langya Wang family, and they can actually make such a thing when they open the ancestral hall to interrogate the clansmen! The tablets of the ancestors are around, and they will go underground in the future, what face will they have to meet their ancestors?!
"Whether they are infighting or crazy, they will not escape responsibility." The patriarch was still calm, and glanced at Wang Zixian, "What's more, the two of them committed more than one rebellion. No matter how clever Xiao Yang's words are, it is impossible for her to quibble and have nothing to do with her. After that, he asked Wang Chang to be taken 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 maidservants, cronies and stewards, as well as Wang Chang's stewards and subordinates. When those people saw Xiao Yang's tragic situation, they thought that she had been lynched, and they immediately trembled with fright. No matter how faithful you are, you know that there is no way out, and where you dare to hide something. Without waiting for the patriarch to ask carefully, they poured out all the secrets they had been doing for many years.
Xiao Yang is very careful, and every few years he will change some people around him. And although those people said that they were allowed to live a good life outside as good people, only one or two people came back to thank her for her grace in the past ten years. Where did the rest of the people go, but in the end, paper can't hold the fire. Of course, there is no shortage of smart people in the housekeeper and the maid who serve her, so she secretly inquired a lot of secrets for later use, and more than a dozen people pieced it together and came up with the truth-
Whether it was Xiao Yang's fornication with Wang Chang back then, deliberately angering Da Yang's family and being unmarried and pregnant, or killing people in order to cover up these ugly things, and even repeatedly sending people to murder Wang Zixian who was traveling abroad, all of them were made public.
"This kind of poisonous woman is really unheard of!!"
"This ...... It's an inhuman monster! If not, how can there be no pity?! Killing my sister and son, I don't know how many lives I have in my hands!! ”
All the people of the Wang clan were shocked, and when they looked at Xiao Yang's family, it was like looking at the dirtiest thing in the world. Remembering that this woman was the side of the Hongnong Yang family, and the rebellion was also related to the Yang family, they suddenly only had a sense of disgust for the Yang family. The people in the family who have been married to the Yang family can't help but start to secretly wonder if they need to check carefully.
The patriarch stroked his long beard, and his expression was very solemn: "Presumably, the Yang family is inseparable from the rebellion back then. At present, the prince of Hongnong County, who is in the capital with infinite scenery, does not know what to do. ”
His two sentences made everyone calm down a lot. No matter how unbearable the Hongnong Yang family is, at least in Beijing, the Fang branch is now cooking oil with flowers. If the Shangzhou Wang clan offends them, I am afraid that in the end there will only be an end of destruction. Moreover, it is a matter of rebellion, and they are a powerless and powerless family that can only protect themselves, and must not be involved. Otherwise, he would be risking his risk to expose the Yang family, and he would only be the first to fall.
"Whatever they do, they have nothing to do with us." An elderly man replied categorically, "Deal with the Xiao Yang family, report the death of the disease, and then talk to the Yang family." His gaze swept over everyone extremely sharply: "This matter has entered our ears, and it must not be revealed to the outside again!" ”
Everyone said yes one after another, and they all made a heavy oath in front of the ancestral tablet.
"Zixian, you also have to be careful in Beijing." The patriarch looked at the young man who had been silent in the corner, and said, "Those Yang family handles, and leave them to you to continue to verify." It can't be said that it will be useful in the future. The other clansmen also agreed to the decision he made: "In the future, when it is useful, it can be regarded as a means for us to protect ourselves." ”
"Yes, the child saves." The prince said, and after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but kneel down and plead, "Xiao Yang's sin is unforgivable, but my grandfather ...... His temperament has always been like this...... Even if you don't know people clearly, you can't sin to death...... "As a "filial son", how can you not defend your father who has gone "crazy"? As for Xiao Yang's revenge for killing his mother and killing himself, he didn't kill her with his own hands, he was already benevolent and righteous.
The elders looked at him and sighed how Wang Chang could raise such an excellent son. After so many years of Xiao Yang's hard work, not only is there no waste, but his talent and character are impeccable, which is enough to teach everyone to take pity.
The patriarch and the elders glanced at each other, weighed for a moment, and feigned embarrassment. As a result, the other unaware elders pleaded one after another, without mentioning Wang Chang, just a piece of filial piety from the poor prince.
In the end, "unable to withstand" everyone's pleading, the patriarch nodded: "Since he is delirious, he will arrange a Zhuangzi to give birth to in the future." Xiao Yang's family is not in a hurry to deal with it, after all, Zixian has just become the leader, and he can't keep filial piety for three years for this poisonous woman at such a critical moment. And lock her up, and let her die silently in a few years. The old man, as the patriarch of our Shangzhou Wang clan, promised that he would never let them take another step out of Zhuangzi. ”
