"Mourn after death!"

Guo Ye said four words very concisely, and then he didn't say a word, staring at Duan Zhixuan with burning eyes. He believed that with Duan Zhixuan's cleverness, he would definitely be able to hear the true meaning and weight of these four words.

Sure enough, Duan Zhixuan's expression changed suddenly, his pupils dilated instantly, and he looked at Guo Ye in a daze, as if he was shocked by these four words.

Then he lowered his head again and fell silent, and a fierce battle began in his heart.

Duan Zhixuan knew very well in his heart, what kind of hard work did all the scholars in this world do for ten years? Isn't it just to enter the official career, serve as an official for one term, and seek a political party? Although I don't dare everyone to get drunk on the knees of beauty and wake up to the power of the world, why don't you want to win the name before and after?

Learn and excel, live to hold the power of the world, and enjoy the wealth of the world. When you die, you don't expect everyone to be able to enter the temple and enjoy the incense and worship of future generations, but if you can win the honor after death and mourn after death, isn't it the long-cherished wish of all court officials?

The world is so famous. Those who are officials pay more attention to these false names. Regardless of whether you are alive or dead, if you can mourn after death, it is really a matter of glorifying your ancestors and sprouting your descendants. This may be the last pride of China's scholar class for thousands of years.

Duan Zhixuan was like a mirror in his heart, if the murder of his younger brother Duan Zhide was characterized as an ordinary wrongful homicide or murder, then even if Wang Ba was awarded the first case, even if his revenge was avenged, then his death would only be an ordinary death.

His younger brother Duan Zhide did not sacrifice his life for the country, but did not die of illness or exhaustion in his official position, and he did not receive pensions and posthumous gifts from the imperial court at all. Such a death, such a death, and such a result are all great losses to the Duan family from the bottom of their hearts, and they are not in line with the overall interests of Duan Zhixuan and the entire Duan family. It can neither improve the status of the Duan clan in the Tang Dynasty scholar class, nor can it really benefit the living Duan clansmen, let alone the descendants of the Mengyin Duan clan.

As Guo Ye speculated, if Wang Ba was just a pawn or was deceived and used, then there must be great ambitions and conspiracy on the part of those who were hiding behind the scenes and giving orders. After all, what was lost was the military secret of the important town of the Tang Dynasty - the defense map of the seven cities of Tuyuhun.

This kind of thing is not what ordinary people need at all.

If, if ~~

Duan Zhixuan secretly thought in his heart that if he took advantage of the death of his younger brother Duan Zhide to find out the people behind the scenes, a group of people, or even an organization, and defeat them, he would inevitably crack an organization that was secretly brewing a huge conspiracy. This is definitely a great credit to Datang.

Then, his younger brother Duan Zhide will not die in vain, but on the contrary, he will die as he deserves and die more worthwhile.

In this way, with Duan Zhixuan's understanding of the current emperor, the imperial court will definitely express that there will be no less rewards, bereavements, and posthumous gifts. After death, mourning will benefit the entire Duan family and the entire future generations.

Guo Ye was simple with four words, which directly plunged Duan Zhixuan into the tangled and fierce battle between heaven and man.

Is it to kill people and take revenge quickly?

Or is it based on the premise of the long-term interests of the entire Duan family, temporarily put aside the temporary hatred, and use Wang Ba to follow the vine, surface the behind-the-scenes organization that Guo Ye said, and annihilate it in one fell swoop, sweeping away the factors that are potentially dangerous to the imperial court?

It is clear which is more important at a glance.

Soon, Duan Zhixuan's stiff shoulders squirmed a little, and then he slowly raised his head and watched Guo Ye open his mouth several times, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Guo Ye looked at Duan Zhixuan's eyes at this time, no longer as red as the hatred and anger just now, and became a little clear and bright.

From the change in the other party's eyes, Guo Ye guessed the change in Duan Zhixuan's state of mind.

It seems that Duan Zhixuan has already made a choice and decision in his heart.

Immediately, he said: "Lord Duan, since General Duan has suffered misfortune and people cannot be resurrected after death, can the living do anything for him, except to find the murderer, is to let him mourn after death?" This is not in vain the grandeur and glory of his life, is it right? ”

"Hmm~"

Although Duan Zhixuan had already agreed with Guo Ye's words in his heart, his face was still a little stiff, and his movements were a little reluctant, and he sighed lightly.

Seeing this, Guo Ye finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly, he finally got through this matter, and Wang Bodang's fate was half saved.

The reason why he only saved half of his life is that Guo Ye has not completely found out the real culprit behind the scenes. If you can't find out the Tagina in Wang Bodang's mouth, or even the person behind Tagina, I'm afraid that Wang Bodang will inevitably have to kill people and resist his fate.

Duan Zhixuan's whole person became calm at this time, and after his eyes were clear, his brain gradually had the meticulousness of the past above the court.

He suddenly asked Guo Ye: "Master Guo, you have gone around such a big circle with me today, you know it with affection, move it with reason, and spend so much lip and tongue and saliva, in the final analysis, it is still for the king, right?" ”

At this time, since the two sides have secretly reached a tacit understanding, Guo Ye no longer needs to hide his true intentions.

Then, he nodded noncommittally and admitted: "That's right, Wang Ba killed people and died, he deserved to die!" But he shouldn't have died like this, he should have died more worthwhile, and not because of a manslaughter to become a substitute for the ill-intentioned! Therefore, I must help him avoid good fortune and avoid this catastrophe for him. ”

Speaking of this, he was still worried that Duan Zhixuan would regret it, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Duan, the deceased is gone, although Guo is ......"

"Lord Guo, stop!"

Duan Zhixuan stretched out his hand to interrupt Guo Ye's words, sneered, and said, "Wang Ba deserves to die, but as Lord Guo said before, how can his cheap life be worthy of my brother Zhide?" I have now changed my mind, hoping that through Wang Ba Shun Teng, I can catch the real leader behind the scenes, so that my brother Zhide can die as he deserves, die a real blind death, and mourn after death! ”

Guo Ye listened and pondered, it seems that in the eyes of traditional scholars like Duan Zhixuan, the interests of the Mendi family are always higher than personal gains and losses. That's a good thing, but it's also ruthless.

Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhixuan said: "Since you can say so much today, it seems that you already know the whereabouts of Wang Ba." ”

Guo Ye laughed dryly twice, but did not give a positive reply.

Duan Zhixuan said again: "Master Guo, don't worry, since I have changed my mind, then I will not ask you about Wang Ba's whereabouts at this time, let alone urge you to hand over Wang Ba, a dog thief." But—"

Duan Zhixuan glanced at Guo Ye up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Since Lord Guo has set up this beam, he must not stand idly by, right?" Otherwise, what do you use to save Wang Ba's life? ”

"Well said!"

Guo Ye suddenly clapped his hands twice, and shouted outside the flower hall: "Come on, go to the study and push the night master to the flower hall." I can't think of anyone more suitable than the dark night. ”

"Whoa!"

Knock knock~

A rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the flower hall, and the people outside the hall had already left and ran in the direction of the flower hall.

PS: There is another shift in the evening.
