Chapter 40: The Dead Are Dust
Su Wu's peaceful academy life did not last long, and a major event happened in Jinge, the capital of Xiguo.
The place where the Wang family was imprisoned was robbed!
Although it was discovered in time and the prison robbery failed, there were still fish that slipped through the net. That is, Wang Zishu disappeared unexpectedly!
After the emperor was furious and disposed of a large number of people, he couldn't wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading, so he immediately ordered that all the Wang family members be beheaded in three days to set an example.
At this time, Gu Qingge was in Su Wan's house, although she was still an impeccable noblewoman, her solemn expression still showed her current mood.
Regarding Wang Zishu's disappearance, Su Wu didn't care much about it. Although she and Wang Zishu had a lot of festivals, she was still uncomfortable when she thought that the person who was showing off her might not long ago had become a ghost under the knife in an instant.
Therefore, she looked at Gu Qingge soothingly, and said: "With the power of the Wang family, although she has been imprisoned, it is still very easy to save a person, why be so cautious, not to mention, with Wang Zishu's character, even if she wants to take revenge, she is powerless." ”
Gu Qingge looked at his cousin who was sometimes very hearted with a smile and couldn't help but smile: "If it was really that simple, I wouldn't have made a special trip to tell you about it." ”
Hearing this, Su Wu rotated the hand of the white jade teacup for a moment, raised her head and asked, "Is there anything else that is not known?" ”
"Wang Zishu was robbed, not by the Wang family." Gu Qingge sighed helplessly:
"My brother and I have always been very concerned about the movements of the Wang family, Wang Geng, the Duke of Mourning, once sent several outstanding side branch children of the Wang family back to the ancestral house, and at the same time that Wang Zishu was robbed, several Wang families in the ancestral house of the Wang family were also missing..."
"Are these two the work of the same person?" Su Wan immediately noticed that something was unusual.
Glancing at Su Wu appreciatively, Gu Qingge nodded: "The people who did these two things made similar shots, but my brother and I suspect that this is not a person, but a force!" ”
Su Wan's expression became solemn in an instant, if there was such a force in the territory of Xi Kingdom, it would undoubtedly be very dangerous! "So what's going on with this force?" she asked. What clues did you find? ”
With a deep sigh, Gu Qingge replied: "That force does things without leakage, and my brother and I don't even have any clues. I know you've got a conversation with the Heavenly Library, but I wonder if you can go to the Heavenly Pavilion and try it? ”
"Okay."
got up and sent Gu Qingge away, the early morning of June was still a little cool, picked up a thin cloak and draped it on her body, and Su Wu went to Tianshu Pavilion to find Yi Lao.
Explaining his intention to Yi Lao, Yi Lao knocked on the ground with his bamboo cane, turned around and went to the depths of the second floor.
Knowing that Yi Lao needed time to check the real-time information, Su Wu was not in a hurry, and waited for Yi Lao while looking at the books on the second floor of Tianshu Pavilion.
When he came out again, Yi Lao's always calm expression suddenly brought some solemnity, and he said seriously: "I'm sorry, there are too many things involved in this matter, and I can't tell you." ”
"Why?" I didn't expect Yi Lao to say this, Su Wan had a faint premonition in her heart, and hurriedly asked.
Yi Lao glanced at Su Wu deeply, and his tone became more and more cautious: "Child, listen to the old man's advice, there are some things, don't get involved before you have enough ability, otherwise, you won't even know how you died!" ”
This is already a very serious warning, and Su Wan's heart jumped suddenly, and she said goodbye and left.
Yi Lao looked at Su Wan's figure going downstairs, and sighed in a low voice: "This kid is too sharp sometimes, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse..."
Let's say that Su Wu left Tianshu Pavilion, and her mood was very heavy all the way. Both Zhishu and Zhili could see that Su Wu was in a bad mood, and she remained silent all the way and didn't dare to speak.
What kind of person is it that makes Tianshu Pavilion unable to reveal it to himself? Wrong! Yi Lao said that you can't involve too much before you have the ability, does it mean that if you have the ability, you can get involved?
I thought that even if Wang Zishu survived, she wouldn't be able to become a climate, but now she found out that this has become a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, and she will take advantage of your unpreparedness to bite you at any time, Su Wu doesn't like this feeling very much!
Thinking that three days later, it would be the time when the Wang family was beheaded, Su Wu turned to the Zhishu behind her and said, "Remember to remind me to go to the noon gate in three days." ”
Zhishu was obviously taken aback by these words: "Miss, three days later, the Wang family was killed at the noon gate, what is there to see about the bloody things?" ”
Su Wan has always been extremely disgusted and repulsed by this kind of thing, but this time, because of Wang Zishu's matter, she wanted to go and see, maybe something would happen...
Three days later.
Su Wu arrived at the noon gate very early, found a nearby teahouse, and found a place to sit at the window facing the street on the second floor, where she could look down on the every move of the people below.
The people of the Wang family were dragged to parade the streets, so there were no people from the Wang family at the noon gate execution ground at this time.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, people from the Wang family appeared at the entrance of the execution ground. The Wang family once relied on their power and did a lot of things to oppress the people, once they were in trouble, the people retaliated one after another, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs beckoned to them one by one, smashed them beyond recognition, Su Wu almost couldn't even recognize Wang Xiao.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the people of the Wang family had already knelt on the execution ground, and at this time, the people around the execution ground were boiling, and Su Wu listened attentively, most of them were scolding the Wang family.
Although she was one of the people who indirectly caused the Wang family to fall here, seeing this situation, Su Wu was extremely embarrassed in her heart.
This is the hot and cold state of the world, when the Wang family is in power, everyone complains and does not speak, but wants to please the Wang family, now that the Wang family is down, everyone comes to step on it, and everyone's expression is so angry, as if scolding the Wang family can show their justice, but Su Wu only saw one thing from the faces of those people - insensitivity.
Thinking like this, Su Wu lost the interest of looking any further, closed the small window, and quietly sipped tea alone.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the executioner ordered the beheading.
Although she couldn't see it, Su Wu could tell from the applause and discussion of the people who had become the ghost of the sword.
Hooked lips and sneered, put the tea cup aside, and Su Wu turned to leave.
At the same time, in a small corner of the execution ground, Wang Zishu looked at the Wang family who were beheaded one by one, and almost screamed.
The man in black behind her covered her mouth stiffly, and the indifferent voice echoed in her ears: "Do you hate? If you hate, then grow up and take revenge..."
Wang Zishu looked at the bright red blood flowing from the Wang family on the execution ground, and her eyes were split.
After a long time, a tear slipped down, and Wang Zishu opened her mouth and bit the hand of the man in black covering her mouth.
The man in black did not let go, and let Wang Zishu vent. Wang Zishu bit hard, and a monstrous hatred slipped in his eyes.
Su Wu! Su Wu! Su Wu! It was you who beat the drum and sounded the grievances, causing my royal family to be like this!
I want you to die a good death! Come to a sticky end!
