Chapter 56: Don't you dare? Still not hate?
There are four floors in total. The most important classics and cheats of the Xuan family are stored on the fourth floor.
Old Man Xuan said: "Since there are no major losses, punish him and put him in a water prison, and then release him after five or seven years!" ”
"Father. This...... I'm afraid not! ”
"Why?"
Old Man Xuan was a little curious. Hasn't the General's Mansion always treated thieves with serious crimes like this?
Xuan Jiwen hesitated, and then said, "This thief ...... The identity is special! ”
Old Man Xuan said, "Who is it?" ”
Xuan Jiwen said: "It's Song Wanfeng!" ”
"Song Wanfeng? I've never heard of this person! "Old Man Xuan has been asking about the court and things on the rivers and lakes for more than ten years.
Xuan Jiwen said: "This person himself is a despicable and shameful petty man, his martial arts are lowly and ordinary, and he is not famous. It's just that he has a ...... A brother who is not easy to mess with! ”
"Brother who is not easy to mess with? Surnamed Song? Could it be him? Old Man Xuan looked a little surprised. With his status and martial arts today, the people and things that can make his expression and mood a little turbulent, except for the troubles in the General's Mansion, I am afraid that the things outside can rarely make him have a trace of waves. However, when he thought of a name in his mind, it was obvious that even he was extremely shocked!
It can be seen that this person ...... How terrifying the influence is!
"I'm afraid you guessed it!" Xuan Jiwen nodded helplessly.
"The surname Song? Could it be that perverted guy? Xuan Boyong obviously guessed a person's name!
Old Man Xuan stretched out his thick old hand to stop him from continuing.
Immediately, he glanced at Xuan Zhongwu and Xuan Yue, who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "Now that the enemy is present, it is a shame for compatriots to fight each other!" Arise, all of you. Xuanyue injured her fellow offender, and she was the first offender, so she will not be severely punished! A month of hard labor! ”
Xuan Zhongwu was overjoyed: "Xiaoyue, don't you thank grandpa for your kindness?" ”
He knew that this was his father's kindness, maybe it was because of the sudden killing of this Song Wanfeng, which made the old man a little distracted.
"Thank you." Xuanyue was a little careless, didn't she think this was any kind of kindness? She doesn't think she's at fault! It's just that in this case, she wants to protect Xuan Zhongwu, and this is the only way!
"There must be no next time! You all listen to me, if anyone violates the family rules of the same family again, they will all abolish martial arts and be expelled from the house! No mercy! ”
"Grandpa! You are eccentric! I don't accept it! Xuanli yelled!
"Shut up! If you cause trouble again, you will be punished together! Old Man Xuan shouted in disgust, his face suddenly became grim, and he paused and said, "Okay! That's the end of today's business, and no one is allowed to mention it again! Go down, all of you. Boss, third, you stay. Er, you can stay too! ”
Qu Tubao said: "Master, what should I do with that thief?" ”
"Bring him to the ancestral hall!"
"Yes!"
Qu Tubao was a little puzzled, why did the interrogation thief bring it to the ancestral hall? The ancestral hall has always been the place where the Xuan family implements family law!
"A month of hard labor?"
"What is this?"
"Heavy or light fine?"
Xuanyue doesn't care too much! Anyway, she's a master who won't be slaughtered! If she really wants to abolish her hand or something, she will definitely not give in easily. "Hard labor? It's just work, right? "That's what she's okay with! It's just that she doesn't understand why things have a dramatic ending.
Of course, she knows the reason in which thief suddenly appeared!
When Old Man Xuan knew the origin of the thief, his face became ugly!
Fighting with the same door, he has always been disgusted! This was evident from his several outbursts. But when the thief appeared, he clearly became extremely serious and dignified, and there was a faint trace of loss and dazedness in his expression......
"This old man...... Why do emotions become so complicated? ”
Xuanyue was very curious, what was the origin of that thief named Song Wanfeng! He has a very powerful brother? Who the hell is this person? How can the old man of the General's Mansion pay so much attention? "It seems that this matter is not simple! This thief is not a simple thief either! ”
Inside the ancestral hall.
The originally crowded crowd all dispersed, and even Xuanyue and Xuancheng, the in-laws and disciples, also dispersed. In the huge ancestral hall, only Old Man Xuan and his three sons remained......
"Get up! Dick! ”
Old Man Xuan sighed softly, and his tone was much kinder than just now.
"Yes! Father! ”
Xuan Zhongwu stood up and looked at his father's old face, which had too many wrinkles than more than ten years ago...... In the past ten years, although he has been in the General's Mansion, he has rarely seen his father, and sometimes he has seen him from afar, and he has little opportunity to speak. If he hadn't gone to greet his father during the New Year's holidays, he would have almost forgotten what his father looked like......
Old Man Xuan said: "Second brother, do you know why I have alienated you all these years? ”
A light and plain sentence, but it represents the estrangement between father and son for more than 20 years.
Xuan Zhongwu was stunned for a moment and said, "The son is not filial, he did not serve his father well, and he did not contribute to the general's mansion!" It is as it should be for a father to get angry and alienate his son! ”
Old Man Xuan said, "Then do you hate me?" ”
Xuan Zhongwu said: "My son doesn't dare!" ”
"Don't you dare? Still not hate? ”
"This ...... There will never be any resentment in the son's heart! The son hated himself so much that he was incapable of being a son who satisfied his father! Over the years, he has been doing nothing and accomplishing nothing, and it is the son's sin to disappoint his father! Xuan Zhongwu's inner words, which he had been holding back for more than ten years, were all vented at once!
Old Man Xuan said: "Actually, I deliberately alienated you...... When you were young, your martial arts talent was definitely not below your eldest brother and third brother, and at that time, I also loved your son the most! But as you grow up, you abandon martial arts and begin to be obsessed with some sideways! You must know that strong martial arts are the foundation of our Xuan family! For so many years, I have deliberately alienated you and treated you coldly and ruthlessly, just to put pressure on you so that you can get lost. But you are a stubborn son, I didn't expect you not only did not turn back, but went farther and farther on this road, and the relationship between our father and son became more and more estranged......"
Xuan Zhongwu was stunned!
He never understood that his father was so well-intentioned to him!
He always thought that his father was so disappointed in him that he hated iron and steel, so he simply gave up on his son!
Old Man Xuan continued: "Over the years, I have watched you come and go in and out of the General's Mansion, but you are like an outsider. Everyone in the General's Mansion laughs at you, despises you, and even treats you as a clown and a subordinate. You are in charge of the Xuan family's business and doing a good job, making the Xuan family's industry stronger day by day, and your confidence is also expanding day by day! I didn't want you to gain this kind of confidence in the side door, so I took your power and only let you be in charge of the accounts of the General's Mansion! But over the years, you have also kept your accounts in order. Watching his son go further and further down the wrong path......"
After a pause, he said in a somewhat vicissitudes of voice: "I'm old!" Maybe three years, maybe five years...... Someday I'm going to die! When the time comes, only the three of you brothers will be left in the General's Mansion to support you! Others don't know, but as the most descendant disciple of the Xuan family, you all know the history of the Xuan family! As the oldest nobleman of the Tianmu Dynasty, in the past three thousand years, although the Xuan family has fallen to the small border land of Storm City, our Xuan family has still not been destroyed, what is the reason, do you know? ”
