Chapter 65: The Fall of the Wang Family (Part II)
The rain fell mercilessly, slamming into the ground and splashing a large splash.
Blood mixed with rain was like a small red snake, floating on the martial arts training platform. Under the reflection of countless lightning bolts, it is shocking.
Wang Ling's eyes were blurred, and tears and rain crisscrossed his face. He opened his mouth wide and trembled to say something, but he could only make a "frightened" sound, and the bitter taste seeped through his mouth, not knowing whether it was tears or rain.
Xu Tian's face was pale, the splashed blood still had residual warmth on his face, and an unbearable smell of blood rushed down his nostrils, and his stomach was churning.
He gritted his teeth tightly and gripped the big knife that was about to fall off, he knew that he couldn't back down at this time, and once he was afraid and flinched, he couldn't do it again.
"A little Qianhu Marquis is also worthy of talking to me like this. Yes, a corpse doesn't have to be like that. Don't you care?! That's what I want. I'm going to throw her in a mass grave so you can't find her. Aren't you amazing?! Didn't you even take the emperor seriously?! Who do you think you are? You're just one of Cao Cao's dogs!! Got it?! β
Good, good!! Then you kneel down and kowtow to Lord Ben fifty times. Every time I knock one, say "I'm Cao Cao's dog", so that I will let her go!! β
"Good!! I will spare her and not behead her!! Come!!! The woman was carried away and placed in front of Zhang's Mansion to expose her body for three days. To set an example!! β
At this moment, Xu Tian's mind flashed the scenes of the past. The feeling of humiliation and powerlessness quickly welled up in his heart, and he stared at Wang Ling deadly. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the short sword he carried with him, and stabbed it his thigh in the stunned eyes of the people around him.
In an instant, blood was dripping. The intense pain came like a tide, as if it was about to drown Xu Tian, and at the same time suppressed the powerlessness and churning in the stomach.
Xu Tian frowned slightly, and pulled out his short sword. His tongue licked above the dagger, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Bring it !!"
Xu Tian shouted, and dozens of ironclad guards escorted more than a dozen men, women, and children of the Wang family to the martial arts training platform.
The bound people knelt in the rain one after another, looking at Wang Ling in despair.
Xu Tianyi grabbed Wang Ling, pulled him forward, and kicked him at the joint of his leg. Wang Ling also knelt down. Xu Tian's words reached Wang Ling's ears like the sound of hell.
"Because of you, they are going to die. Aren't you going to say something?! β
Wang Ling remained unmoved.
"Kill !!"
Xu Tian waved his hand, and in the flickering of several cold lights, the people of the Wang family kneeling on the stage fell to the ground one after another. The long red serpent on the ground is even thicker!
Looking at Xu Tian who was so hysterical, even Xu Chu's eyelids twitched. Sigh secretly, hatred can really make people crazy.
Xu Tian in his eyes, at best, is a little stronger than a scholar, when he heard that he killed a wild boar in the military camp to vomit for a long time, Xu Chu also slightly sarcastically said to Zhang He that this Xu Tian will not have a big future in the future.
This scene now is enough to be deeply engraved in Xu Chu's mind, he swallowed his saliva and looked away.
The voice sounded like a magic sound again.
"Next !!"
More than a dozen people were brought up and knelt in front of Wang Ling.
In this short period of time, Wang Ling seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and he looked at all this numbly. Even the tears seem to have been forgotten...
The whole square was silent, except for the "whooshing" sound of rain and the roar of the sky. It seems to witness this tragic scene.
Suddenly, a crisp cry broke the eerie silence. In the crowd of people in the audience, a boy about seven or eight years old seemed to be unable to control it anymore, and after the middle-aged woman on the side loosened the hand covering it, he cried out with a "wow".
The voice was particularly abrupt in this silent square, and the middle-aged woman on the side hurriedly covered his mouth. It can only make a "whine" sound.
Xu Tianmeng turned his head and looked at the audience.
A guard stepped forward and whispered a few words in Xu Tian's ear. Xu Tian's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth rose.
When Wang Ling heard this voice, his whole body was shocked. The godless eyes instantly turned red again, and he looked anxiously at the audience.
Two soldiers quickly walked towards the crowd, their pitch-black armor making a heavy sound in the rain.
When she came to the crowd, the middle-aged woman immediately protected the boy behind her, shook her head desperately in tears, and looked at the two of them beggingly.
"No... No!! β
One of them stepped forward, grabbed the middle-aged woman, and kicked her to the side. Picking up the boy and walking to the stage.
"East Border!! East Border!! If you let him go, kill me if you want to, please, let him go!! β
The middle-aged woman hugged the soldier's leg and begged desperately.
Two cold glances shot out from under the black helmet, and the soldier tried several times but did not break free, looking at the woman who was frantically pulling him. He handed the boy in his hand to the black-armored soldier on the side, and slowly pulled out the broadsword with his right hand. With both hands clenched, he slashed down fiercely under the desperate gaze of the woman...
Xu Tianyi pulled the boy who was so frightened that he had forgotten to cry and came to Wang Ling.
"It turns out that Lord Wang still has such a lovely grandson, and he didn't reunite your grandparents and grandchildren early, it's a fault in the next!!"
Xu Tian stroked the rain from the boy's face and looked at Wang Ling with a smile.
"Xu Tian, you kind of come at me!! Attack on children, what kind of man are you!! If you have the ability, if you have the ability, you will kill me!! β
Wang Ling roared hysterically, his hair scattered, and his eyes red. Under this rain curtain, it looks a little hideous.
"Grandpa..."
An immature and trembling voice fell into Wang Ling's ears, as if by magic, making Wang Ling instantly quiet.
He looked at the boy with soft eyes, showed a smile that really couldn't be considered a smile, and tried a few times before he struggled to speak:
"Don't be afraid, it's going to pass soon, with grandpa here, I won't let you get hurt!!"
Seeing this situation, Xu Chu frowned deeply, although he had killed countless people in his life, he had never killed women and children, just now Xu Tian beheaded Wang Ling's wife in public, he was deeply unhappy, but he didn't say anything when he thought of Xu Tian's previous affairs.
At this moment, he made up his mind that if Xu Tian wanted to move this child, he would make a move. And the soldier who didn't know whether he was alive or dead just now. A cold light flashed in Xu Chu's eyes...
Wang Ling slowly stood up and straightened his clothes. Put on the hat that is about to fall off, and don't care about the bleeding wound on your right hand. Standing in front of the stage, upright and straight, looking at the many people of the Wang family in the audience, he spoke loudly.
"I, Wang Ling, started to study at the age of three, and followed my father to contact political affairs at fifteen. At the age of twenty, he was filial piety and became an official. He has been an official for more than 40 years, abiding by discipline and law, and dedicating himself to public service. Loyal to the Han Dynasty, without a trace of slackness.
Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the imperial court collapsed, and the Son of Heaven was covered with dust. The vast majority of the people are traitors and thieves who have committed rebellion. The Han Dynasty was crumbling, and I knew that what I had done would most likely not succeed.
I know I can't do it, why do I have to do it?! Because my father's last words are still in my ears!!! My father called me to the hospital bed, took my hand and told me, what is the most important thing for our royal family, the world is favored by the country, we are ministers, and as a son?! It's loyalty!
Now, I have failed and been arrested, which has affected the entire Wang family. Please, don't blame me!! β
All the people of the Wang family knelt down one after another, and bowed deeply to the lord of the Wang family who had done his best for the Han Dynasty and did not care for himself.
Wang Ling turned his head to look at Xu Tian.
"It was I who humiliated your fiancΓ©e, the fruit I planted. I'm in charge! Hope you remember what you said!! β
After speaking, Wang Ling knelt down in the direction of the mass grave in the north and kowtowed three times.
"Jingle Bell"
The knife in Xu Tian's hand fell on the stage, and tears flowed uncontrollably. He had finally waited for this day, and how many days and nights he had woken up from his nightmares. He was afraid that he would die before that day.
The series of things he did desperately did was to give Murong Hanyan an explanation and for the oath he made at the beginning. It is also to pay the price for one's own innocence.
Wang Ling looked at the sky where the silver snake was flying, let the rain hit his face, and slowly closed his eyes. Muttering in his mouth:
"Madame, I'm here to accompany you!!"
Wang Ling opened his eyes violently and grabbed the big knife that Xu Tian had fallen aside. Without the slightest hesitation, he pressed hard in front of his neck.
The big knife slid to the ground with piercing blood, and Wang Ling slowly fell down amid the grief and shouts of everyone in the Wang family in the audience. There was still a hint of a smile on his old face...
Wang Donglin was finally taken away by Xu Chu, and all the remaining people of the Wang family fell on the square. The entire Yingweifu Square was dyed bright red.
That night was deeply remembered by everyone present. They didn't know whether it was Xu Tian's revenge or a massacre with no right or wrong.
Since that night, Xu Tian's name has been preceded by the word demon. The reputation of the demon Xu Tian spread quickly in Xu Du, and after hearing about the events of that night, many people would tremble with the word Xu Tian and quickly avoid the topic.
After returning from the Shadow Guard Mansion, Xu Tian fell ill. He didn't know that he was going viral outside, but he suddenly found that whether it was Lang Zhong who treated him or the maid who served him, without exception, his eyes were full of fear. When you go out of your own room, you take a long breath.
Xu Tian smiled bitterly, he lay on the bed weakly. Looking at the top of the tent in a daze, he didn't dare to think back to the events of that night. That self must be a complete madman.
And the Wang family, which was once powerful and brilliant for a while, completely disappeared in Xudu. No one is mentioning the affairs of the Wang family, and they are afraid that trouble will come out of their mouths and bring trouble to themselves.
It's just that Xu Tian hasn't discovered it at this time, except for Wang Donglin who Xu Chu took away, there is another person in the Wang family who is not in the square that night, this person has mysteriously disappeared, he is Wang Ling's son. Hao!!!
