The dim sky of the capital seemed to be crying, and the sound of the wind in the rain carried a choked cry.

Wufu, which is located in Huaishu Hutong, was ravaged by this sudden rainstorm, and the drainage outlet in the main courtyard has been blocked by tree branches, and a large amount of rainwater has accumulated in the courtyard.

Wow......

A powerful official boot stepped on it, and two splashes immediately appeared.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a first-class official uniform, had unprecedented nervousness and sadness on his face, and he hurriedly walked to the inner house, and Lin Fu, who originally wanted to hold an umbrella for him, was left behind.

Whining......

In the main hall, the lights were bright, but the cry of a woman could be heard inside.

Lin Haoran's heart couldn't help but tighten, but he hurriedly walked inside, tears already filling his eyes. When he entered the inner bedroom, he finally saw Wu Shan lying on the bed.

Wu Shan's face was as white as paper, but there was a touch of red in front of his eyes and nose, and the whole person was in a very bad state, and he was talking to Wu's mother and daughter.

Mother Wu and Wu Qiuyu were already crying like tears, but they were frequently choked up and nodded.

Seeing Lin Haoran rushing back, the tall Wu Kang glanced at Lin Haoran sadly, and then took the initiative to give Lin Haoran a position.

After hearing the movement, the crying mother and daughter of the Wu family turned their heads and looked at Lin Haoran pitifully as if they had seen the last glimmer of hope, and resolutely regarded Lin Haoran as the backbone.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Lin Haoran realized that Wu Shan was poisoned, so he first asked in a choked voice, and then looked around: "Langzhong, what about Langzhong?" ”

There were two Lang Zhong standing next to him, facing Lin Haoran's fierce gaze, but they shook their heads in unison.

Wu Shan's ears were also bleeding, but he could hear clearly, so he raised a thin hand and said, "If you are foolish, my time is running out, you should come over first!" ”

When I said this, I was already in a very bad state, as if I was talking with all my strength.

Seeing this, Wu Kang drove out all the irrelevant people, while he himself stood at the door. Just looking at the endless rainstorm, his eyes were full of infinite resentment.

"Father-in-law, you'll be fine, you'll be fine!" Lin Haoran nervously crouched in front of the bed, firmly holding Wu Shan's thin hand and said crying.

At this moment, in addition to nervousness, his heart also swelled with fear.

It was under the influence of this father-in-law that made him insist on self-cultivation, keep in mind his mission, and not lose himself in this drunken officialdom.

Along the way, although there have been some twists and turns in his official career, it has been smooth, including the care of his father-in-law.

For this elder who is a teacher and father-in-law, he has already developed a feeling of being like a teacher and a father, and at this moment, he has a sense of fear of losing his relatives.

Wu Shan opened his bloodshot eyes, but slowly shook his head and said, "Ruoyu, I know that you are a world-shattering talent, a natural chosen person who truly has the ability to govern the country. I originally wanted to help you create a prosperous era for the Ming Dynasty, but in the future, ...... You're on your own! ”

"Father-in-law, I'm not, you are the most suitable person to help the emperor govern the Ming Dynasty, and I also need you to show me the way!" Lin Haoran was afraid that Wu Shan would lose hope of survival, but he shook his head again and again.

Wu Shan was actually running out of oil, and his whole hand had no warmth, but he covered Lin Haoran's hand with his other hand and said: "You are much better than me, I still have self-knowledge, and you can already stand alone, but it's a pity that I really can't help you!" I have my own life, and I can't blame anyone this time, but I have to be more cautious in my future actions! You're still young, and if you really can't do it, then it's a good idea to choose to hibernate for the time being! ”

When he experienced this incident, he had a deeper understanding of the court. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to repeat his path, so he also sincerely admonished.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law can't listen to you, I'm very unwilling at the moment!" Lin Haoran understood Wu Shan's concerns, but shook his head with an unprecedented hatred.

If Wu Shan really died, then he would undoubtedly lose his greatest support in the court. If he wants to challenge Xu Jie, he has almost no chance of winning, and it is impossible for him to be the first assistant at his age.

But he also has an advantage, and that is age. Xu Jie boiled Yan Song to his eighties back then, and then overturned him in one fell swoop, and Xu Jie is now in his sixties.

Wu Shan held Lin Haoran's hand even harder, but he earnestly expected: "My generation is not studying to gain fame, not for the sake of a family, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world!" The current Ming Dynasty is not the same as the beginning of the country, there can be more than 100,000 displaced people every year, and there can be so many people starving to death every year! The reason why I want to fight with you is that I didn't think about fighting for power at the beginning, but I wanted to support you to find change, so that every person in Daming can live and work in peace and contentment. If you focus your energy on such small details now because of my death, who will save the people of the world? ”

"The son-in-law will seek the blessing of the people of the world, but your business ...... Not the trivialities! Lin Haoran nodded first, and then responded with a straight face.

If he had been before, he might have had a lot of illusions. It's just that when he saw Wu Shan lying on the bed bleeding from the seven orifices, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, which made him understand a lot immediately.

Wu Shan shook his head firmly and said, "I die without complaint, and you should guess that this is actually my choice!" It's just that I can't let go of this court, I can't let go of those displaced people, this is my last long-cherished wish, don't you want to let me go in peace? ”

When it comes to this, it is already impossible to refuse, not to mention that everything must be based on the dead, not to mention that this is his mentor and father-in-law.

Lin Haoran looked at Wu Shan's eyes and nose with blood gushing one after another, but he responded with a miserable smile: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law promised you, but the son-in-law wants to know if you are worried about the hundreds of thousands of people who are displaced every year, or if you are worried about the future of our Ming Dynasty!" ”

The torrential rain continued to rage, as if it was crying for whom. The candles in the hall were swaying by the wind outside, and the burning place was crackling, filling the whole world with a kind of oppression.

Wow......

After a while, a loud cry came from the main hall, and the family members and servants of the Wu Mansion cried together, and the housekeeper also made people hang up the white banner.
