When everyone saw that Jiang Wuben was dying, they were immediately frightened.

Meng Hui looked at it, and hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Jiang Wuben's person, after confirming that Jiang Wuben was out of breath, Meng Hui looked at the panicked soldiers and hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, the person was dragged by me, if there is anything, Ben will take it!" ”

Only then did the soldiers below gradually calm down. Meng Hui hurriedly asked Jiang Wuben's body to be carried back to Jiang's mansion.

………………

Jiang House.

There were bursts of mournful howls from the house that I only heard.

It turned out that after learning that Jiang Wuben himself was dead, Jiang Wuben's wife and seven concubines wailed endlessly

Even Jiang Wuben's old mother almost didn't recognize her son's bruised and swollen face when she saw it. Until she was sure that this was her son, Mrs. Jiang was also grief-stricken and shouted three times: "Evil, evil, evil!" Then he passed out.

Jiang Fu was immersed in grief because of Jiang Wuben's death.

"Big brother, big brother! What about my eldest brother? At this time, only three different voices could be heard outside the door.

When the three of them walked into the hall and saw the fat body lying on the ground, they hurriedly pounced.

When the three of them saw Jiang Wuben's swollen face like a pig's head, they collapsed to the ground in fright.

"Big brother! You died a miserable death. The three of them burst into tears.

It turned out that these three people were Jiang Wuben's three younger brothers. The previous head of the Jiang family, that is, Jiang Wuben's old father, turned out to be a doctor in Qi State.

After the destruction of the Qi State, the Jiang family also moved to Jiangdong, after all, Jiangdong is far away from the Central Plains, and the forces are chaotic, which is also more suitable for the development of the Jiang family.

And the Jiang family also relied on the power accumulated before to quickly rise in Yuzhang County. and the first major clan in Yuzhang County, the Ji tribe, is also on an equal footing.

When the Tian family rebelled, because they could not control the whole county of Yuzhang, they naturally united the Jiang family and the Ji family to rebel together.

And the four brothers of the Jiang family, because they raised 400,000 stone of grain for the army, also succeeded in becoming the founding ministers of the Daping Kingdom, and all of them were extremely ministers. , which can be described as a momentary scenery.

Now, Jiang Wuben, the head of the Jiang family, is dead, which is a big deal! After all, no matter how you say it, it is also the prime minister of the center and the left, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person.

After Jiang Wuben's three younger brothers were grief-stricken, they decided that the three of them would personally wear linen and filial piety, and carry Jiang Wuben's body to the king of Daping to ask for an explanation.

………………

Daping Palace

"What? Prime Minister Zuo is dead? At this time, Ji Wucan, who learned that Jiang Wuben was dead, was also shocked to burst out.

"Yes! Please also ask the king to call the shots, my eldest brother was killed by that Meng Heng! Look at this face, big brother, you died so miserably! At this time, Jiang Wuben's three brothers also said with a handful of snot and tears.

"How, how is this good?" At this time, Ji Wuyi couldn't pay attention to it, and asked in a panic.

"The king, our three brothers implore the king to condemn that Meng Heng to death and put him in prison, and then punish him for killing the most indiscriminately!" Just listen, the three brothers said in unison. Obviously, this is the result of a long discussion between the three of them.

"This, but now that General Meng has the power of the army, I am afraid that he will ......." Ji Wucan was also shocked when he heard the three of them say this, after all, this is not a joke, now Meng Hui has the power of the army, if he launches a mutiny, then wouldn't he be on the throne?

"King! Is it okay to forget about my brother's death?! ”

"Yes! My brother was beaten to death by him like this, shouldn't he give an explanation? ”

"That's right! If the king finds this difficult matter, then leave it to our three brothers! "The one who spoke was Jiang Wuben's fourth brother, who was a squire in the palace and was responsible for the security of the palace.

Ji Wuyi, who was sitting on the throne, looked helplessly at the three ministers below. And when the Jiang brothers saw that Ji was incompetent and hesitating, they continued to speak: "King! Today, Meng Heng beat my brother to death in front of you and all the ministers, which is simply contempt for the king. Perhaps, tomorrow he will dare to do something to the king! Think again! ”

"Yes! I'm afraid that he, Meng Heng, has already had the heart to surrender to Chu! O king! ”

Ji Wucan, who was still hesitating just now, listened to the words of the three people, and the balance in his heart was already like the three of them. Ji Wuyi also said ruthlessly at the moment: "Okay! So what can I do? ”

When the three brothers heard this, they looked at each other and smiled: "King, I suggest that Meng Heng's family be secretly exterminated first to avoid future troubles." Then, the king issued another edict and summoned Meng Hui into the palace, saying that there was something to discuss with him, and then the three of us ambushed the knife and axe hand in the screen tent, even if he Meng Heng was powerful, it would be impossible to escape! ”

After listening to the opinions of the three of them, Ji Wuneng immediately agreed, after all, Meng Hui's family is far away in Zhongling, even if he kills all his family members, then Meng Hui will not get news for a while!

Ji couldn't think about it, so even if he agreed to the three of them, he immediately drafted a document and asked the three of them to go and kill Meng Hui's family.

.........................................

At this time, Meng Heng was on the city tower, and he was also a little uneasy, after all, he personally killed this Jiang Wuben, this Jiang Wuben is also the prime minister of Zuo, and the Jiang family is also a leading family in Yuzhang County, which has a lot of influence.

Meng Heng sat on the city tower, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to be safe, and immediately called his most trusted lieutenant general and ordered: "General Zhang, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you for something.......

"Good! Don't worry, general, this matter is on me! I'll take someone to Zhongling! ”

........................................................................

Inside Zhongling Castle.

At night, there was no one on the streets of Zhongling City, and the only thing that was there was the footsteps of soldiers patrolling from time to time.

At this time, in an inconspicuous farmhouse in the city, the three grandparents were eating around the faint oil lamp.

"Mother, why did my father become a general, why do we still live in this broken grass house?" At this time, a five-year-old child was looking at his mother in front of him and said.

"Alas, child, your father is a general, but it doesn't mean that we can be prosperous and rich for a lifetime! Moreover, your father is also doing things for the country, not for himself! At this time, the peasant woman sitting opposite the child also taught carefully. I saw that although this peasant woman was wearing coarse clothes and linen, she still couldn't hide her unique temperament and charm.

"Yes, Feng'er, your mother is right. In a few days, your father will be back, and maybe your father will bring us meat when the time comes! Come on, eat greens! And the old child sitting in the main seat also kindly took the green vegetables from the plate and handed them to his grandson's bowl.

"No, grandchildren don't eat it, grandma you eat it, Feng'er can eat sweet potatoes." After saying that, Meng Feng immediately took a bite of the sweet potato in his hand, and then a smile leaked out of his immature smiling face.

And the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting on the side also looked at each other and smiled when they saw this. Immediately moved the chopsticks and ate coarse tea and light rice.

The cool winter breeze is blowing, and the grass hut is also crumbling under this gust of cold wind. And the three grandparents and grandchildren in the house also felt that their hands and feet were extremely cold.

Meng Hui's wife, looking at her son who was already asleep on the bed, but his body was still shivering with cold, couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart. And Mrs. Meng, who was sitting on the side patching the clothes in her hand, was also a little sad to see her daughter-in-law like this.
