Goguryeo stick Cui Minghao pretended to be dead and escaped, and escaped from Yangzhou City in panic at night.

After arriving at the Dongmen ferry, he hurriedly hired a river boat and returned to Hangzhou overnight, where he fled.

A few days later, the news that the Zhang family in Yangzhou was overturned in one day also spread out of Yangzhou City, spreading outward and intensifying.

It is the good things that do not go out and the evil things go thousands of miles, until the tenth day, this news was transmitted through the merchants from the south to the north and the fast horses of the post stations in various places, and finally scraped into the Tang Dynasty Imperial Capital - Chang'an City.

At the beginning of the morning of this day, the eldest grandson's mansion.

According to usual, the eldest grandson Wuji should have entered the palace at this time to go to the early dynasty.

But because of the collapse of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, he insisted on illness and did not go out of the house to go to the early court, but sent an evil fire in the living room for a full morning.

scolded angrily and threw things, the bottles and cans in the living room were basically smashed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the ground was full of messes and rotten, and the beams above the living room were almost demolished.

However, this did not allow the eldest grandson Wuji to contain the anger in his heart, I saw him sitting on the Taishi chair at the head of the hall with a pale face, panting one after another in his chest, and constantly cursing in his mouth: "Bastard, damn bastard, the Zhang family is full of nearly a thousand people, and they all died in one day." The hundred-year-old foundation dominated Yangzhou, and the Zhang family, known as one of the eight great families of Guanlong, was destroyed in an instant. It shouldn't be, it really shouldn't! How dare this bastard do such a thing that is the outrage of man and God? Damn, damn it! ”

From beginning to end, Changsun Chong, the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, stood tremblingly in the living room, witnessing his father's monstrous anger raging, but he didn't dare to squeak.

But he knew very well why his father was so angry.

Yangzhou Zhang's family, the Changsun family and several other families have always been in the same spirit, and they are the backbone of the Guanlong family. Especially in recent years, the Yangzhou Zhang family has firmly controlled the salt tax in Yangzhou, and has been continuously sending silver taels to Chang'an's Changsun Mansion and several other families in Guanlong.

If it weren't for the salt tax transfusion of the Yangzhou Zhang family over the years, how could the old vassal line of Tiance Mansion so easily win over the local officials of various provinces and state capitals.

But since the Hou Guo Ye of Yizhou was ordered to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, everything has changed.

First, the Yangzhou salt tax was out of the control of the Zhang family, and then it was suppressed by Guo Ye one after another, and finally even the foundation of the Zhang family in Yangzhou was destroyed.

One of the eight great families has gone.

The collapse of the Zhang family in Yangzhou not only announced that the dignity and status of the Guanlong clan had been provoked, but also announced that the Guanlong clan had an arm broken, and the arm holding the money bag was broken.

Therefore, Changsun Chong not only understood how angry his father was, but also knew how much resentment his father had towards Guo Ye, the assassin of Yangzhou.

If it weren't for Guo Ye's appointment in Yangzhou, where would there be so many moths?

Therefore, the "bastard, damn bastard" mentioned by his father just now, he can understand it when he thinks about it with his ass, and it alludes to Guo Ye.

However, listening to his father's last words, there was a signal, that is, the mastermind behind the destruction of the Zhang family in Yangzhou was none other than Guo Ye, who was the official of Yangzhou's parents.

This is too unbelievable and too unconvincing.

Immediately, he had the courage to say softly: "Father, according to the news from Yangzhou, the murder in Gujing Lane and the destruction of the Zhang family in Yangzhou were committed by the gangsters in the rivers and lakes. This point cannot be wronged by Guo Ye. And it happened during the day, and many people in the city saw thousands of gangsters in Gujing Lane that day. Another point is that when the ancient well lane in the city changed dramatically, there was also a water battle between the two forces of the rivers and lakes on the canal river in the direction of the east gate ferry in Yangzhou. It is said that one of them is the Jianghu forces secretly cultivated by the Zhang family. If you insist on putting this matter on Guo Ye's head, this is too far-fetched. Besides, now that he has a few old foxes from the Shilin Qingliu Department as his backing, he is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the day. ”

"Hmph, nonsense, idiot!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was angry, and it was when the words of loyalty were against his ears, and the words of the eldest grandson Chong sounded to him, undoubtedly clarifying for Guo Ye. Immediately, he shouted with displeasure on his face: "Chong'er, what benefits did Guo Ye promise you?" Even you interceded for him to clarify? Don't forget, your surname is the eldest grandson, and you are from the Guanlong clan! ”

The eldest grandson Chong was terrified when he heard this, and hurriedly defended: "Father is angry, how can the child help an outsider and disobey his father?" It's just that on the surface, this matter does not have anything to do with Guo Ye. Moreover, isn't the third brother serving in the Yangzhou Mansion and lurking beside Guo Ye? From beginning to end, to this day, the third brother has not been sent to deliver the message, so this matter should not have much to do with Guo Ye. If his father really wants to impeach him, it will be a crime of 'incompetence in governing the locality, which leads to trouble'. As for the rest, the child thought it was too far-fetched. ”

"You said Yu Mo?"

The eldest grandson Wuji's expression was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and he shook his head and sighed: "Don't mention this unscrupulous son." Originally, he went to Yangzhou to take up his post this time, and his father had high hopes for him. But this bastard eats, drinks, and has fun, and doesn't do anything serious. Chong'er, you may not know that this bastard is no longer in Yangzhou now, and he has gone to Tubo thousands of miles away early. I heard that it was for the sake of a woman, alas, what evil did I do in my last life? actually gave birth to such a bad son who did not do his job. I knew that the third child would be such a bastard today, and he was born a ball at the beginning, and it was better than giving birth to him. ”

"Uh......"

The eldest grandson choked for a while, and was completely speechless for the third child in his heart, not doing serious things, and not doing anything in Yangzhou, which was good, and actually ran to Tubo for a woman.

Is it good to say that he is a lover? Or is he stunned?

When the eldest grandson Chong saw his father mention the third child, he was endlessly disappointed, and the whole person became unhappy, and his expression was full of decadence and helplessness.

For a while, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Father, please calm your anger, the third child is still a teenager, so he can't be a little playful." After another year or two, I can simply find him a family affair. As long as he becomes a parent, maybe he will be sensible soon. At that time, he will be able to understand your father's good intentions. ”

Speaking of this, Changsun Chong glanced at his father and found that his eyes were a little lively and vibrant, so he immediately took advantage of the excitement to change the topic and continued: "Father, I think Miss Yu Nuannuan from the Weiguo Mansion is good. The Weiguo Mansion and our Changsun Mansion are also considered to be the right match, and Weiguo Gong Li Jing has a very high prestige in the army, if the third child of our family can marry Yu Nuannuan, it will not be considered an insult to the children of our eldest grandson family. And being able to marry a family with the Weiguo Mansion is both public and private, what does my father think? ”

"Hehe, it's time to make a family for the third bastard, and I can't let him mess around like this anymore."

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded thoughtfully, and then thought about the Miss Yu Nuannuan of the Weiguo Mansion mentioned by Eldest Sun Chong, and was silent for a while.

Then, I saw him raise his face slightly, his eyes flashed with sparkle, and he muttered to himself: "Wei Guogong Li Jing, this person, hehe......"

As he spoke, he laughed bitterly again, neither agreeing nor vetoing, which made Changsun Chong dizzy for a while, as if the second monk was confused and confused.

"Report to the master, there is a visit!"

The shouts of the subordinates came from outside the living room, temporarily dispelling the thoughts of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Chong, father and son.

The eldest grandson Wuji asked directly, "Who is here?" ”

The subordinate continued to reply outside the living room: "It's Lord Fang Xuanling, who said that he had just come down from the early dynasty and had something important to discuss with the master. Seeing that the living room was like this, the little one took it upon himself to lead Master Fang to the master's study and waited. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard that the visitor was Fang Xuanling, and heard that Fang Xuanling had gone down to the early dynasty, it seemed that he had a major matter to discuss with him, so he immediately brought it to his heart.

Then he looked at the living room in such a mess now, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this place is indeed not suitable for meeting guests, otherwise it would really increase the jokes of others.

Immediately, he praised the subordinate for his two effective words, and then explained to the eldest grandson Chong: "Chong'er, you let the living room be cleaned up, and as for the third child's family affairs, we will talk about it later." For my father, I first went to the study to meet Master Fang. ”

After saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji gently patted the clothes on his body, because the clothes were full of wrinkles because of the frenzy just now, and then he walked carefully around the harshness on the ground, walked out of the living room and ran to the study.
